Evelyn And Caleb's Tower.. 💖🏰

I think about Angie's actions in chap 3 and I think the school student council really represents something like wishing forever to live in a lie, when she destroys the flashlight it's a way for her to make everyone live in blissful ignorance, create a new reality in which who they were, or what's outside, or more importantly what's real and what is a lie don't matter, all it matters is to create a peaceful environment, even at the cost of never confronting the truth, because the truth only hurts that peace she was meticulously trying to create.

It's kind of a refusal of the themes of the games, because Angie and the student council refuse to find the truth but by destroying the flashlight also unconsciously refuse to live a lie, she aims to create a bubble and aims to instead live peacefully with the uncertainty, it's moreover choosing ignorance over both truth and deceit if that makes sense, but I think by doing that she is still forcing to choose deceit by forcing them not to care about the lives they lived before the killing game, and moreover accept the sometimes real and sometimes deceitful nature of her religion and teachings

(with deceitful I mean more about the way God in her view as a flexible identity she uses to better manipulate her targets rather than me thinking religion is false! It's more UHH how cults use religion)

I had an idea and. well it evolved

We've all seen Kokichi going on his toes to kiss kaito, but I present this much more convenient idea.

I hate drawing people kissing this was so hard for now reason and it doesn't even look good

I forgot how goatee :( for better or for worse.

I LOVE Seapartist Varian's design. And I wanted to do something with symbolism and Andrew rose fore a while. Originally I wanted something where the rose would cover Varian's face but I decided not to. Then I thought it would be fun to make parallels to what Andrew did to Cassandra, Also I don't know who needs to hear this but this IS NOT ship art.

I had a hard time adding the pattern, I didn't know where to add them. They aren't my favorite but theyll do. I added the lanterns just for lighting and contrast tbh

The hardest part of this drawing was definitely the foreshorting and the colors. I drew the pose before the background and had NO idea where to place them. I was thinking to just make it a one off sketch until I realized I could put them on a balloon. Here's some sketches.

"You're tea is served! "

I honestly have no idea what this collab/pop up store is even about. I just thought of this and had to draw it.

Kaito is, in fact, not a Virgo

I had to color Eugene with an overlay layer since he was in black and white so mb if the colors are off

I had to make this it was too perfect

someone on reddit wrote abt some dude in an escape room who saw an astronaut suit as part of the decor but thought it was a clue or sth (it was not) and wore it the entire time as a result and that dude was probably kaito

since next part is taking FFORREEEVER im posting old concept snippets of conversations of kokichi and friends that like might suck cause i didnt do much research on their chars at the time except kokichi

(Mius is unfinished and lowkey hard to read but IIIDONT CAAAARE)

(SPOIIILERS SPOIKER ALERT!!!!!!!)

this is their dynamic for me
