Happy Holidays!! This time of year always makes me want to draw Dolchio!!

This is actually animated, so here's the link to the full animation!

Dolchio, Noel and Iles from the game Dolchio that I played a week or so ago 🌸

I LOVE the artworks and just the overall vibe of the game! 💗💕

Please check it out!! 💖

@himawariness Here it is aaaaa, I hope you like it! Hehe (〃ω〃)💗

((Also just imagined instead of having having big hands, Iles have tall legs instead; so that’s why he’s at their height loll))

I finally finished my second game, Dolchio!

Help Dolchio make his wish come true in this story-focused wintery adventure! 

Hope you enjoy the game!!

Dolchio Art Process

Now that Dolchio is finished, I can talk a little about the process I used to make the game since I never got a chance! So here's a thread-- sorry about the bad pics lol ALL of the art in the game was drawn with 5B pencil on paper, scanned, colored, and placed into RPG Maker ^^

Keep reading to see everything! 

I ended up using like 100 sheets of paper for all the art! So that included the individual maps, sprites, and expressions! I made this sad lightbox but it got the work done  and I printed out a 48x48 pixel grid that matched the dimensions of the RPG Maker MV grid :)

Big maps, like the towns, took more than one sheet of paper. I drew those out in separate parts and then combined them later

Expressions too! I did this for every character For in-game character sprites, I drew the limbs separately so that I could put them together and animate them like puppets!

I decided to draw everything in the game with pencil because I knew I wouldn't be able to get the look I wanted for the game if I drew everything out digitally! So in the end, I'm actually really happy with how the art came out! <3

Fun fact: I used only used one pencil for all of the game development! Here's a comparison of a full-sized pencil next to what was left of my poor pencil lol I think it still has a little more to draw until it really runs out >w<

Been busy working on Dolchio >:) I'm really hoping I can release it in the coming weeks! 😁

Dolchio is almost done!! I'm in the testing phase, so if all goes well I should be able to release the game tomorrow christmas eve! ☺ I'm so excited!

This is a more clear ref of Dolchio! Drawing a sheet like this helps me out when drawing the in-game sprites ^u^

Hopefully I can post more characters in the game soon >:]

A little update on Dolchio! I'm trying my best to get it out before Christmas but this past week I've been super sad I lost my phone and the past few days I've been pretty sick haha so I've been a little slower than I want, but here are some more screenshots ^w^/
