Here's a roundup of August's illustrations!
I've been a little busy up until now, but things have gotten even busier since this month, so for a while I'll be posting one illustration of Quinn and Sylvia per month.
October marks the 3rd anniversary of the release of Potionomics, so I'd like to draw an illustration for that, but I wonder if I'll be able to finish in time…!
Anyway, I'll do my best!
The update is quite late! This was drawn in July.
I will update August's drawings next month.
I had been drawing a summer quinn/sylvia manga since July, but I wasn't satisfied with my interpretation, so I scrapped it…
Anyway, I've moved on, and I have another idea, so I'll start working on that from now on.
These are pictures I drew in June. (Mostly Quinn/Sylvia, though...)
I think Tumblr will be a place where I post a month's worth of illustrations all at once, so I may post again around August.
In addition, I added an English transration of the dialogue in the second illustration to the image description. From now on, I plan to add English transrations to works with dialogue as much as possible.
I will maintly post about Potionomics, but I would also like to post more casual posts to study English.
I can't wtite long texts yet, but someday…
I've been studying English for four months now.
bc I wanted to understand Potionomics better in the original text…
thanks to that, I am able to enjoy studying English every day:)
I'll keep doing my best at my own pace!
(Anyway, the pronunciation is really difficult…I think it will take years to master…LOL)
i think ive at least exhausted 95-98% of all quinn-related dialogue choices from the game so here is my 41 page document of (almost) everything quinn says in the game:
im not sure if i want to include the dialogue from other characters (boss finn, baptiste), hangouts (salt&pepper), or oswald's loading screen tips because it doesn't focus on quinn specifically (or is just... gameplay tips) but i'll probably make notes on my personal copy lol
im likely missing two to three lines of store encounter dialogues (its freaking hard to get quinn to visit my shop for whatever reason) for both friendship/romance route, plus i need to check if dialogue changes when i reject custom orders (even harder to get)
scrapped the original pride comic in favor of a more traditional comic layout!! forgive me i am... rusty... i like to break comic rules like im running out of air. im putting down the transcript under a read more in case you wanna preview it/make comments
q: what's with all the flags?
s: it's pride month! i made each one by hand. want one?
q: uhh-
that sort of thing isn't really a priority for me.
besides, i feel like it's more for other's sake instead of your own.
and i don't really care about people.
s: maybe… but there's comfort in knowing you're not the only one, don't you think?
it's nice meeting people who understand you.
q: i guess…
i did meet you.
s: awh.
q: but the novelty wears off quick.
s: sure, sure.
i suppose the novelty of a kiss from your girlfriend wears off too, huh?
q: that's not what i said.
s: if you ever want one again, all you have to do is ask.
but if you ever want a flag, i got some for you.
q: does it have to be a flag?
s: not really. i can make patches, buttons, cute bandanas-
q: those all sound too flashy.
s: hmm… how about a small pin? something you can put on your choker.
q: how small is it?
(sylvia invites quinn to her work desk)
s: i take some scrap fabric, arrange it, glue it together and-
tada
ready to be pinned
q: huh, that's cool.
s: yep! i used to make these for my collegiate clubs-
-until they had to ban pins for a whole year because someone hexed a whole batch of them. there were so many casualties.
q: now i'm interested. can you hex mine?
s: quinn, no. but i'm glad you want one now!
i know you said this stuff wasn't a priority for you but i can help you figure it out, if you want.
q: -groans- fine. do i have to fill in a questionnaire?
s: not unless you want to but i do have to ask you some questions.
and we can stop whenever you want so don't feel pressured to keep answering.
q: yeah, okay.
s: let's start! do you feel strongly about being a boy or a girl? one or the other?
q: really? what the hell?
s: just covering my bases. you never know!
q: -sigh- no. neither.
s: do you think your self-perception aligns with your body or what others think of you?
q: like i said, i don't care about other people.
and my body... it's my body. i'm just... quinn.
no need to complicate it.
s: -small smile-
yeah, simple and easy does it.
and i think i know what to make you.
(quinn looking over sylvia's shoulder; nonbinary colors)
do you want me to pin it for you?
q: sure…
(sweet moment)
it's different from yours. why?
s: yours is the nonbinary flag. mine is the bisexual flag.
one's for gender, the other's for sexuality.
q: why are there two types of flags? is it necessary?
s: they're two separate things!
who you like isn't always related to who you are.
i'm a girl. at least, i strongly believe i'm a girl.
and i like girls. i like guys, too.
maybe in the future, i won't always believe i'm a girl but i might still like girls and guys.
q: i'll be honest sylvia. this is exhausting.
can you choose the next one for me?
s: quinn?! i can't just "choose" your identity. it doesn't work that way.
q: why not? you get me, right?
s: i mean, yeah, i would think so-
q: -so you should be able to figure this out without me.
s: -groans- quinn.
s: i know you're not really sleeping. you don't snore, you wiggle.
q: awh, so you do get me.
get to it, blightroach.
s: -rolls her eyes-
(grabs lesbian colors, makes the pin)
-small bow- the sacred pin, your majesty.
q: huh. it's different from yours.
s: well, yeah. it's the lesbian flag.
q: what makes you think i'm a lesbian?
s: (reminiscing moments)
like you said, i get you. it just makes sense.
q: touche.
s: want me to pin this, too?
q: yeah.
thanks, sylvia.
s: no problem, quinn.
----
afterthought:
s: i know you know what nonbinary is, quinn.
you were pretty quick to answer.
q: -smirk- of course i know what it is.
i am one.
s: but you acted like it was your first time ever thinking about it!
q: sylvia. i just didn't know the flag designs.
s: i-what?
q: like i said, it wasn't a priority for me… but it didn't mean i was completely oblivious.
s: so you also knew you're a lesbian?
q: -blush- well… that one was a surprise.
s: really? with the way you act, i was sure you knew, at least to a degree…
q: what do you mean 'the way i act?'
s: you really don't notice it? remember that birthday party i hosted for mint?
q: yeah. the cake that time wasn't half bad.
s: hey! i can follow a recipe… but, anyways-
-you just seemed to… avoid the guys.
you didn't seem to tolerate them at all!
especially when baptiste started singing…
but you tuned in for xid's songs,
and held a conversation with roxanne for a solid five minutes
to talk about… the cat pirates…
q: -complete blush- wow.
s: am i right?
q: -shifting away- seems like speculation to me.
s: wha-!
These are illustrations I drew in the past of Quinn/Sylvia.
I'm working on a big illustration right now, so my posting pace has slowed down, but I'll post it when it's finished.
My latest work will be posted on X(tokotoko_soba) and bluesky(tokosoba.bsky.social).
also, I'm thinking of making some new goods or something for the summer…
