So I forgot to post this. Lmao I finished this a month ago (January 30th) and was really proud of it but also tired because holyyyy shit this took days.
I went insane over the background. My first idea didn't work and I put wayyyy too much effort into my second idea, this. Originally I was going to do Triangle Park but couldn't really find anywhere to place her and then thought of Mount Wildwood's stairs while in the shower and wrote in down in my notes app to do.
Shout out to my friend's who saw me literally about to cry in dining hall over this. Any differences from canon are because of poor refs I was using and I was too stubborn to ask for help until nearly done oopsy. My only background refs for days were low quality screenshots from YouTube, my 3DS, and a switch screenshot from the wiki until I finally stopped being stubborn and asked a sever if anyone had the 4th game and could send me screenshots and holy shit it got so much easier.
This both reminded me why I love drawing detailed backgrounds and why I don't do them often. I noticed quickly how much of the background would be covered but also decided I still wanted to do it. Maybe I could reuse it one day idk
I made a few personal edits to Katie's design here. Why? Because I can lol. Longer bow is a mix of stylization and I just like drawing it, the bow having a yellow gradient because I thought it was cute, brown to green eyes because in 2020 I couldn't decide whether I liked drawing Kenny with brown or green eyes and started drawing him with full heterochromia to do both I decided to refrence that by giving Katie partial heterochromia, zip up instead of button up is a mix of the buttons got covered and they were annoying to draw, bracele is the button colors because they were cute but I was not drawing those damn buttons and I noticed it could be a friendship bracelet with pink for Katie, blue for Bear, green for Eddie, and white for Nate because almost all of his outfits have a white star, stitched heart on hoodie cause I think she's a DIY girl and she's also like 11 so it's not perfect, freckles I just thought they were really cute and I love freckles I wish I had them irl, and lastly any changes to hair are stylization or just because I can like the ahoge.
I'm still really proud of this. Included background without Katie because she covers most of it lol.
