(ACT 4 SPOILERS) Decided to be silly and wanted to post some sprite/ portrait Mirabelle redraws that I did for the ICAC Au!! Under the cut will be artists notes and the Speedpaint process:
GENERAL ARTISTS NOTES:
I wanted to capture the vibes of the original Mirabelle attack sprite that’s in game, but also add my own twist on it rather than just copy the exact pose verbatim. Since the original pose that the sprite is based off in game is paper/ healing I wanted it to have a sense of seriousness to it
I changed the craft sign with the hands to be both paper and scissors, since she’s a dual type and I think that the vibes of “just attack” in the original game is to go all out and not hold back. Whatever is the most efficient and quickest way to brutally take out your enemy.
This is also why the the sparkles and effects around Mira is different: She’s using both paper and scissors so she’d have the FX for both in her attack portrait.
I changed the expression to look more serious (shadowed face, the circles within circle eyes is a reference to the fact her eyes go in a spiral when she defeats the king in the canon game of ISAT.
For anyone new to the Au and didn’t catch the design details beforehand: in the ICAC au Mirabelle was the one to lose the eye protecting Bonnie from the sadness instead of Siffrin! She has a eyepatch made by Isabeau and it has the change symbol on it. Her hair usually covers the blind eye in most sprites barring few exceptions ( certain parts of act 4, Act 5 and act 6 etc.)
She also has a sharper/ pointier bow in comparison to canon isat Mirabelle. This is mainly because I noticed the pixel sprites for Mirabelle the bow looks very sharp and pointy in isat but the sprites themselves are rounded, so I thought it would be neat to play with the shape language of the design and make the bow sharper in the portraits as well
eerrrmmmm so i drew a lot of selfship stuff today..... but most of it i could only post on twitter........
They are valid and deserve more appreciation
HEYA ISAT NATION, I COME BEARING.... COLORS
No, no, please hold your gasps, I promise it is a only a showcase- Look I have the black and white images we're okay!
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, just gonna put these here....
OKAY. WE'RE GOOD NOW
[Commissions]
I just wanted to try drawing in the game's artstyle, to see how far I could make it- Considering my normal style looks like this-
I think I did okay.
And for fun I decided to give everyone my color headcanons cause I've been meaning to for a while-
I HAVE NILLE THINGS IN THE COOKER BUT FOR NOW YOU GET NORMAL ISAT STUFF, COUNT YOUR BLESSINGINGS (I am joking I love them all dearly)
Aaa, that's wonderful!! Thank you!
Drop your f/o (1 maximum please, but can be romantic, platonic, familial, QPP) and I’ll tell you what they give out to trick or treaters! :)
super magnus bros doodles :3
People love to pretend Ai is a neutral ground when it comes to art. "Ewwww! Artists cost money! We don't have the ability to pay them, so we'll just generate it!" I'm not afraid of saying any human art is better than any ai generated image because it has soul! Had this exchange blurred his name because even if he was a dick and kept calling me kiddo (reddit behavior) I am not after his head.
He wants to white knight for ai so whatever at the end of the day. He's just a fool who doesn't know what it means to be an artist, but this entire kicking up of sand got the creator to make a pinned comment here:
Seriously, I know art isn't easy, but giving up and just generating it is quitting. The towel is thrown in before the game starts.
An artist friend told me that in order to get better, you have to try. Pick up a pencil, a stylist, anything! You can do it if you put your mind to it, and while I'm still not where I wanna be, I encourage everyone to try.
I've never wanted to draw out of pettiness before, but I'm not going to draw it because artists aren't free, and they shouldn't need to be for people to consider commissioning them
Reblog if you had a Tumblr for 5+ years
Hey, do you like Yakuza? Do you like watching people play Yakuza? Do you wanna refresh yourself on the plot before the next game? Do you like to watch a random creature on the internet play through Yakuza 0 all the way to Infinite Wealth....On hard mode?
If you answered "Yes" to one or more of these questions, then I would like to welcome you tooooo....My Twitch! More Info below!
Yes it's true! I ultimately decided I wanted to play the Yakuza games for my friends and any passerby to watch. So I dug my Twitch account out of the dirt and dusted it off to use!
On Saturdays and Sundays, at 6 P.M EST (so long as I am not busy or forgetful- I can assure you the latter will happen at LEAST once), I will be going through every Yakuza game I own (This includes 0, Kiwami 1 and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Like a Dragon, Ishin, Man Who Erased His Name, Judgement, Lost Judgement, and Infinite Wealth). All on HARD MODE.
Why? Why not!
I ALSO plan on playing Pirates in Hawaii as soon as I physically can, when it releases.
If you are interested at all, here's the link to my Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/sunset_hourglass (NOTE: I've already streamed up to Chapter 2 in Yakuza 0!!)
And remember, this is the Yakuza series. It's a 17+ series. There will be swearing; both from me, and the game, and a lot more. Please make sure you understand what you're in for, before joining in. Thank you.
ALSO ALSO! I made my own little talk sprites! I'm gonna try and have one for all of the games, because I like being thematic. Here's a little teaser bite for you on the one I'm gonna showcase tomorrow!
Hope you swing on by! I'll gladly try to entertain you, or be your background noise.
That hair combing part
Hi! I'm Sunset. I'm an artist, writer and occasional roleplayer. I'm a multi-fandom hyperfixator, so you'll see a little bit of everything from me! Though 9 times outta 10 I'm a lurker, so don't expect too much. Runs @myra-the-ishkia.
