I have a question for Murphy!! How'd you get here? You mentioned "back home" in the last ask so I was wondering what "back home" was like. If you're willing to share, of course.

Uwaa how cute!! Here, take an extra fistful from me, hehe~

before i got my drawing tablet, i spent a lot of time making picrew images of the cast. here's a collection of some, primarily featuring Monty.

unfortunately, the bookmark folder of links i had for each of these was on my old iPad, which croaked before i could transfer them. hopefully i'll be able to recover them all eventually.

2am realization regarding my OC Murphy that I forgot to write down until just now:

So the whole concept for Premonitions of a Faraway Life initially started as an analog horror thing where the monster turns out to be benevolent and is just trying to warn of and/or protect the protagonist(s) from a bigger impending threat.

One of the characters, Murphy, is an android, so I had the idea that it could be a found footage thing, but the footage is from the perspective of what his robotic eyes see and record.

However, the original design I made Murphy from has glasses, and it's a cute element I never wanted to get rid of but couldn't really justify. Y'know, what with robots generally having all their functionalities already built in.

(on a side note, I made this model in a vtuber app called REALITY and I highly recommend it. The face tracking and models are really well done, and I made this one entirely out of the basic assets it gives you. You can buy more outfits through the gacha system of course, but it's phenomenal for a free app with all the stuff it offers!)

Anyway, I had a thought: what if Murphy naturally has cruddy vision due to the majority of his processing power being directed elsewhere? You can have all your typical analog horror static effects and whatnot, but then the glasses act like installing extra RAM to help correct that.

Another thing the glasses could potentially do is that, without them, he can see All The Horrors for what they actually are (including whatever true lovecraftian form Monty has), so he has more of an incentive to wear them regularly. XD

In short, it's a more literal interpretation of "rose colored glasses" that I think meshes with his concept really well, and I'm excited to discover this!
