A lineup of all the Murky Mirror Tavern characters! It was very refreshing to go and clean up a lot of their designs.

Individuals below the cut!

Zee is a rarely-seen member of The Murky Mirror, technically not employed there but living in its attic. She tends to slink off to her workshop (where she performs necromancy) at odd hours, and seems to be relatively secretive about herself as a person.

Meet Burven Woodsworthy! He's the Murky Mirror's singular bartender, known for being incredibly polite (albeit naive) and well-liked by customers. Despite being 24, he's been technically working at his family tavern since he was 12.

Fox is the only waitress AND cook for The Murky Mirror (yes, they are very understaffed), known for barely being able to hide her grumpy, crass nature, she seems to possess some soft spot for Burven.

Felix is a mysterious regular at The Murky Mirror, there not for food and drink, but rather the stowaway in its attic. They're extremely curious to find out where Zee came from and why she's so mysterious. Otherwise, they're actually a doctor-shaman in The Mirage!

The lead singer of a regular band called Crow's Pestilence, this is Wendy Silknook. She often conducts very theatrical performances, matched with her good-natured, laid-back attitude.

Finally, Bjorn Silknook is the newest addition to the main cast, having been reunited with Wendy only recently. He seems to possess a great deal of energy and charm, eager to perform in Crow's Pestilence...until you look away, that is.

"the game is extremely critical of people and culture"

If Cassette Beasts is deeply critical about people and culture where are all the NPCs that have beef with Kayleigh specifically for her role as Dorian's right hand woman and the abuses she enabled?

If Cassette Beasts is deeply critical about culture why does it play several design tropes with many of its monsters completely straight with literally no subversions especially in the cases of design tropes in Western culture that are rooted in bigotry?

Yeah sure, zeethenecromancer, the game is extremely critical of people and culture. The word of someone who can't conceive of the notion of monster designs containing multiple ideas and the creators of a game having unconscious biases that don't necessarily show up in all aspects of the game can surely be trusted to have deep and meaningful analysis.

Hey everyone, big doodle dump ahead! I'll try to dump a bunch of these from time to time because that's one of the things I want to focus on this year.

We have a good few Jonas's to start out with, my favorite preteen edgelord. I should probably draw Iris as well.

Some Mirage creatures :) Let me know if you want to here about their biology and stuff...I like writing about creatures.

SHI AND DEATH STUFF!!! I was so happy on how Death's "Scythehead" form turned out-yes, this is the same guy that gave Tumbleweed 15 minutes of cryptid fame!

Yeah I have no words here, here's the OG

Redid Zee's reference sheet completely, here she is!

Big Announcement!

Our VA'd sketch was finished! You can check it out here!

A few weeks ago, two of my friends offered to do some voice work/sound design, so we put this little test together. It was fun to write and I hope we can do a couple more in the future!

You can also check out their respective channels in the description-both are musicians and their work is pretty good :) Thumbnail art and another video are below the cut!

I also decided to put the animation from awhile back onto Youtube-I might release a shorts version as well.

Burven and Jini are two of my favorite characters, so I'm happy these two got voices.

I contracted a mild case of doodling

Cleaned up animation of that practice animatic from awhile ago-I probably won't be finishing this anytime soon but here's my funny little guys doing funny things.
