Saw Yzafre make a collection post of their DQB2ber and wanted to do it as well.

Thank you Sapphire for hosting the DQB2ber this year! Loved the sigil themes!

babblin' underneath:

Since it was for October, I wanted all the pieces to have a little bit of autumn or Halloween in them, be it by obvious imagery (jack-o-lanterns) or color palette. It was going well until Moonbrooke because it's a bit difficult trying to make a snowscape surrounded by fireworks look like anything but Christmas or New Year's Eve XD

I tried to bring in some uneasiness with the reddish night sky and moon. Eh... kinda worked? Sorta. Not really.

I'm glad I was able to keep them all the same dimensions. I don't usually put that much forethought, and it truly wasn't my intention in the beginning, but I'm happy I did.

I like the progression of the story told in these scenes.

I didn't intend to make full color pieces either nor landscapes or backgrounds, but very happy that I did. Even if I didn't do it too well, heh.

I'm surprised I was able to do this the way I did? These are simultaneously loose and messier than I would attempt at something "serious" but also more refined than I thought I could do especially considering how relatively quick I made them. Only reason i didn't post things sooner or faster is because broken body would require long periods of rest. But when I did sit down to work them, it went by at a decent pace? I'm in no way saying I've mastered scapes or color or painterly styles, far from it, but I was able to do it and not cry and hate myself. Too much at least. XD

I still hate how slow I am but I do have to admit I've gotten faster. And better even if it doesn't feel like it in other regards.

I try not to be deep with symbolism but there's a little here and there. Nothing subtle. Pretty obvious actually XD

tldr; may not be best or perfect but better than I expected in some places.

So I was doing a bit of research on skin colors via location and factors + melanin for the characters of Dragon Quest Builders 2; here's my conclusions.

Furrowfield - Mild UV radiation + consistent sun exposure; the people are more often than not tan-skinned due to how often they stay in the sun, although the radiation is not enough to require high levels of skin-protecting eumelanin.

Khrumbldun - High UV radiation + semi-consistent sun exposure; the people are darker-skinned due to needing to produce more skin-protecting eumelanin, although the miners are paler due to less sun exposure.

Moonbrooke - Low UV radiation + low sun exposure; the people here are living in almost constant snowstorms and there would not be much sunlight, leading to them being almost as/as pale as the snow they're surrounded by.

(to anyone more experienced possibly reading this; feel free to correct me on any of this as I am learning and not an expert!)

Time to go to Moonbrooke and get angry every single time I see a certain character (iykyk). But at least Anessa is there!
