Stp Voices - Blog Posts
First ask lol, like how you have multiple art styles, it's cool, I also love how instead of making voice designs like most people you just wrote there names and used emoticons to show faishel expression, it's really funny
I don’t know how to answer this question. Well, OK that’s a lie. I do know how to answer. Thanks. But like I don’t know how to really answer this question because it’s not really a question. It’s a compliment. Now, don’t get me wrong. I like compliments. But I prefer not to be giving compliments in the “asks” because I want to be able to answer questions.
So I’ve decided to talk about my different art styles.
I have tried many times to draw in a single art style, but I can’t. I will just go insane. I like variety. So when I draw things in real life, I alternate between chibi’s* and realistic*. (I put * because within those art styles, there’s a lot of variation). When I draw in real life, I mostly post realistic.
When I draw digital I use chibi’s.
Also about the voice design (or the lack of them, I guess) I always imagine them as just floating names, with them constantly shifting between text and expressions done through symbols on a computer (like: >:| )
I’m surprised that I haven’t seen people do that.
Why is the quality so bad??? What is happening??? I’m sorry.
I wanted to draw this from Randy FeltFace. It was just really funny.
Idk. Just some stuff I drew, because I’m bored.
Sorry for the bad grammar.
Voices and the Hero I DID IT I FUCKING FINISHED THIS PIECE YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I have Thoughts about my designs for these guys so uh Design Notes under the cut!
I'm bad at drawing actual birds (if the narrator on the hero's shoulder is any indication) so I went with the next best thing that I'm better at: plague doctors! Plus plague masks are just fun to draw. I tried making each of the voices match the princess they correspond to, but it got tricky with a couple of them. In no particular order, here we go! The Hero is a bird guy with a bird mask. Perhaps the mask is meant to keep his identity locked away? Either way, the outfit is more shapes than actual fabric, similar to the Princess' gown. Simple enough to register as clothes, but vague enough to change and be recognizable as the loops splinter. Also the cape is hims wings! The Broken is made to be the wettest, most pathetic little guy, but also ever so slightly like a priest. This is to reference the Tower (mommy- I mean mommy- I mean-) saying that the hero's place by her side is "that of a priest, or a pet". So I made him look like a depressed little priest. The Skeptic is the voice that joins you on the route of the Prisoner, so what would be more fitting than a warden? Or maybe an escaped convict? Either way I love his little ponytail poking out of his hood. The Hunted looks like a feral wild child. Feather-hair out and messy, cloak made of scraps of fabric. I figured the most wild looking of the voices would be the one that corresponds to the Beast. The Smitten is all puffy and soft shapes to match the Damsel's rufflier dress and softer appearance. Also my friends recommended the hat and I agree 11/10 would hat again. Gave him a bowtie AND a cravat because the Smitten strikes me as just that extra! The Opportunist's beak is meant to resemble a parrot's, as he just parrots the ideas of whomever he considers to be "winning". This is also why he's dressed like a businessman. He kinda looks like a villain version of the Smitten, but I haven't played the Thorn's route yet, so idk if that's relevant. Also isn't this guy the only voice that doesn't show up in the Chapter 2 routes or am I forgetting one? The Stubborn has demon horns to match the Adversary (and the Eye of the Needle HOOGH MAMA). He's also got battle damage, and his mask is fashioned to look like he has a wounded and scarred eye. Fun fact! Stubborn was supposed to get the ponytail, but I decided while lining that a half cut looked better. The Cold looks the most similar to the Hero, but he's just a bit less put together. While I was drawing his hair I was thinking of L from Deathnote for some reason? Probably the cadence the Cold has. The Cheated is supposed to look like a gambler, given his title and speaking patterns. There...wasn't a good way to pair him with the Razor, but I suppose the spade on his cheek could be seen as a nod to the razor's blades? I dunno, I'm reaching here. The Paranoid suffers from my lack of impulse control when it comes to giving characters goggles. I fucking love steampunk goggles. Much like the Cold, he looks like a less-put-together Hero, but this one is a mess, actively having a panic attack, but is pushing through it because NEITHER THE HERO OR THE NARRATOR IS FUCKING HELPING. Also the stitches on his mask are meant to mirror the cracks on the Nightmare's mask. The Contrarian has a mask with three beaks as a mirror to the Stranger's three heads, but also because the two on his head make him look like a little jester and I felt that was fitting for this smartass. His cape is asymmetrical to spite the status quo.
I hope you enjoyed my art + rambles about these designs. I love doing this!
One concept I thought would be fun is that the voices (+ narrator) could show up through the TLQ's shadow when they're talking.
So, imagine this...
More STP content coming soon but for now here are some doodles ! :P
Do you think The Long Quiet and The Shifting Mound match eachother's freak?? Be honest guys...
The voices from slay the princess! Had a lot of fun with the shape design. Tag your favourite designs!
Closeups below cut
+ an unused Contrarian design
Quick messy voices designs
Words under their names are my first associations that came to me during my first walkthrough
HERE HE COMES
HERE HE COMES
HERE HE COMES
I might be not good at it but im having fun so it counts
Rogue who really wants to multiclass as warlock but no one likes the guy to take his soul (like wraith) /hj
A guy (i never drew bird people before)
Kinda just wanna revolve voices' designs around dnd classes i assigned to them ig
Happily Ever After made me start thinking what would happen if other voices managed to gain control over the cabin, but I only could come up with Cold, because others would make something resembling already existing routes and there's no use in thinking about it. Cold would maybe make Princess into emotionless and literally faceless target so you wouldn't linger too much over your task and wouldn't get attached emotionally to her. But you can be persistent enough and find out that lack of face is just a mask with emotions buried deep down. Because those never really go away.
Stp voices as dnd classes because stp is literally just dnd campaign where no one respects DM and all players control one character for some reason
Smitten - paladin
Broken - cleric
Opportunist - rogue
Skeptic - wizard
Cheated - sorcerer
