Princess! (And Noble, of course.) :)

I intended making her skin tone darker, but I actually like her with just black hair.

I’ve also formulated some new lore, too… 1) there’s a hardware item outside of their world that is holding up the glitched villagers, 2) almost always, the cause of the glitches has to do with a villager getting too close to breaking the game as a defense mechanism; similarly the kingdom ostracized the glitched characters not out of classism, but as a secretly coded feature to avoid further complications.

I think I thought of a third piece of lore, but I forgot.

I have some more Hamlet lore!! (Y’know, the guy from the Princess series.)

I don’t know if I’ve come up with this idea already but I think I’ll make his character a really passionate religious guy. I doubt I’m wording this right but he’d be devout to a religious figure to an unhealthy extent.

The character in question is either directly or indirectly the programmer. The one who made the entire kingdom simulation in the first place. i think it’d be a really compelling plot point: Hamlet’s devotion conflicting with Princess’ desire to fix her world from the outside.

Let me know what you think! :)

Speaking of which… I’m thinking of changing the name of the Princess series to encompass the entire simulation. I just thought of it when I was writing it: how about “Kingdom.sim” or something similar? Let me know about that too!

“Sleepy.”

Here are the final (paper) color references! The colors may be a little off, and I still need to make a digital reference, so take these references with a grain of salt. (Not literally though. Don’t actually get any salt.)

These are the general colors for these characters though. (Thank you again @ragmothy for the tips!)

Follow up: Here are some different color palettes for Princess and Hamlet! :]

I used a more reddish color for Princess’ dress (as @ragmothy suggested) and changed her hair color, and I lightened purple, a more villainous color, for Hamlet’s cloak, and lightened his hair. I also softened Princess’s color palette.

(Here are traditional versions I updated afterward.)

Here’s a very simple color palette…how does it make you feel?

(@ragmothy …I forgot to mention that Hamlet’s hair is more of a brown than a black. Sorry about that :|)

I got a headache today…sorry for the lack of art.

Here’s a Hamlet though.
