It's been MONTHS since I've finished any art, wow. Glad I'm not too rusty! Anyways, this is Klarinetta NecroDancer and her stupidly hugelarge zweihänder. It's not even to scale if you're going off the sprites. It's like 1.5x as tall as she is 😂

Behind the scenes stuff below the read-more

This took me a month to finish because 1) the perfectionism is out in full force, and 2) because of some wild technical issues with Clip Studio Paint. I painstakingly drew half this line art with no pen stabilizers because of how long it took me to hone in on the problem. Turns out if I press alt or the spacebar at any point, the pen stabilization turns off until you jiggle the settings. And guess what my two most used hotkeys are? That's right! Undo with ctrl+alt+Z and pan with spacebar. Had to overhaul my keybinds and my muscle memory 💀

Also, I tried some experimental stuff with the lighting. There's 3 light sources here: Blue, green, and dim ambient light. I didn't want those to overlap at any point, but since the layer blending on the lighting is linear light, you would be able to see the underlying layers. So! I made use of a 3D texturing technique where you store multiple channels of information in the RGB values of a single image. Or layer, in this case. It was a little hard to work with because I couldn't see what the lighting would look like in real time, but looks kinda funky cool on its own!

Hello NecroDancers

I bring Synchrony GFs

[headin-theklouds]

So, that new Crypt of the Necrodancer DLC…

I’m completely and totally normal about these three (<— has been suffering from severe brainrot for 2 days) (I didn’t know it came out until yesterday even tho it apparently came out 4 or 5 days ago now lol)

So, any other Crypt dwellers finding me (or already here)? If sooooo... who's your favorite character (new and old)? My favorite of the new batch is Suzu lol but Chaunter is a lil skrunkle

I like over-speculating about things and one of those things is the fact that Suzu's eyes look different depending on what you're looking at??? Like... her actual sprite has normal eyes, and on the thumbnail of the release trailer, but in her character art and the title screen art they're kinda inverted??? So I like to think she can like. Invert her eyes at will. Mostly when she's fighting???

I'm honestly kind of mad that the devs didn't give her a tail which is why I gave her one. I dunno I think it suits her

Any ideas on how/why any of them are in the crypt??? I'm running dry on ideas but so far what I've got is Chaunter might be just a lil homeless person who died near the crypt and became a ghostie there and Suzu probably suffered a similar fate but had a deal with a demon that made her turn into one?? Or maybe with the lute itself? Who knows. No idea on what Klarinetta's deal could be.

I could dump about these three (and the game in general) all day. I've got headcanons for almost every character and I was already obsessed with this game before the DLC came out and now I can't stop thinking about it and playing it. PLEASE go play COTND if you haven't. I love it so pecking much adoisjapdoisfjag and all the new details they added in the update at the end of June makes it even better!!!

ALSO PECKIN RIFT OF THE NECRODANCER??????? HELLO??????????? PLEASE GIVE US DEETS BRACE YOURSELF GAMES????????????????????? ADSFJPEWOIGJAEPIFJAIUSDHGAIEHF PLEASE

Steam Workshop::Klarinetta Training Sword

Are you trying to get good with Klarinetta's 180° swings? Do you forget which direction is counter-clockwise in a panic? This resource pack I made might help! It recolors her sword so that each edge has a different color. The orange edge of the sword faces clockwise, while the blue edge faces counter-clockwise.

For 180° swings, Klarinetta will swing clockwise by default, but if you try to swing the direction the sword is already facing, she'll swing 180° counter-clockwise instead. So if you need to do a 180 but in the direction the blue edge is on, remember that you can't just swing normally!
