Devlog #14: Big News Incoming and Illustrations
Hello everyone! Welcome to this month’s devlog!
If you just stumbled upon this, I am Adrienne, also known as insertdisc5! I’m the developer, writer, artist, main programmer, etc of the game. The game being In Stars and Time, a timeloop RPG, which is also the next and final game in the START AGAIN series, following START AGAIN: a prologue (available here!). You can find out more about In Stars and Time here!!!
LET’S GET TO IT. This month has some Big News about Big News Incoming! And also some illustrations!
The Big News Incoming first: In Stars and Time will be a part of Future of Play Direct on June 10, 8:00am PT | 11:00am ET | 5:00 pm CET! Future of Play is part of the Summer Games Fest and showcases a lot of incredible indie games, so I hope you’ll tune in. There might be a little something for you to see :> And...
In Stars and Time will also be a part of The Mix on June 8th! The Mix is an amazing games showcase over in LA. There will be a lot of press there, so I’m very excited to get some eyes on ISAT! Please stop by the booth and say hi to the lovely people from my publisher, Armor Games Studios, if you get the chance!
Alright! That’s it for the big news. Now for other big news.
Porting the game to Switch seems to be close to done! Currently, the porting team is taking care of optimization thingy things. The game is playable, but tends to drop frames every so often, so the team is optimizing the game to make sure it’s playing smoothly so Switch players can have the best possible experience! And…
The (hopefully) final round of Japanese localization is underway! Last April, the localization team sent back a couple of sentences that should be reworded now that they have further context. Now that those changes are implemented, they are playing it one more time to make sure everything works as intended!
I sadly don’t have a Fun Gamedev Thing to talk about this month (or… last month either…) because I moved elsewhere back in April and have been taking care of many things so my move went smoothly. Did you know that moving and getting used to a new town is hard work? So, here’s some things I posted on social media in the last couple months!
Here’s an illustration I drew a while back but only posted recently! I imagine that during their journey, everyone must’ve shared a bed at least once. This is also an occasion to show everyone’s sleepytimes clothes. Siffrin on that honk shoo honk shoo fit
Like many people, I have seen the Barbie movie trailer. So of course I had to redraw these iconic frames.
And someone over on Tumblr asked me about how I picked everyone’s names! Here it is copy-pasted for your convenience.
Siffrin: i think. i will wait until the game comes out before saying how i picked their name. ask me again later (it’s not a spoiler its just silly)
Mirabelle: her name was actually Prunille for the longest time, but I kept mixing it up and calling her Bonnie… so I went looking for another fruit sounding name (prunille>prune>plum in french) and Mirabelle fit her perfectly :> (Mirabelle is a kind of plum!)
Isabeau: it’s just a nice name. It actually is a girl name but i refuse to accept it because “beau” is the masculine form for “beautiful”, but either way it fits his character pretty well…
Odile: old sounding french name. that’s it. when i was early in preproduction her name was Isabeau actually (and she had a WAY different personality)
Bonnie: it’s a nickname and not their full name. have i said their full name yet? (checks the wiki) i did. Boniface is just a name that I had never heard before, and I could easily imagine Bonnie not liking it because it sounds “old and lame”. i think as they get older they would like it more and more
This is also a reminder that In Stars and Time has a wiki page. I am so grateful that this is a thing someone made. You know you've made it when your game has a wiki page!!!
That’s all I have to say for today! Let me know if you have any questions, or if there’s any aspect of the game development struggle you’d like me to talk about! See you next time!!!
AND DON’T FORGET TO WISHLIST THE GAME ON STEAM ALSO IT REALLY HELPS BECAUSE STEAM’S ALGORITHM IS MORE LIKELY TO SHOW OFF GAMES WITH A HIGH AMOUNT OF WISHLISTS THAT’S THE REASON WHY GAME DEVS ALWAYS ASK TO WISHLIST!!! OKAY BYE!!!!

Gaz dances with Rosie, while also realizing how fast his little girl is growing up 🥹
Tags: toothrotting fluff, humor, established PriceGaz, SFW
About 1200 words, continues under the cut
—
Afternoons like these, Kyle has found, are quickly becoming his favorite. He’s settled at the kitchen table, going over some paperwork, while over in the living room, there’s the soft rustling of paper as Rosie is keeping busy making drawing after drawing at the coffee table.
It’s peaceful. The sound of an animated film on the telly plays softly in the background and provides just enough white noise to keep Kyle’s focus on his work.
Today’s pick is Anastasia, and Kyle actually remembers that movie from his own childhood. It’s a sweet story and it’s even sweeter to see how much Rosie loves it. She’s been on a creative streak lately, redrawing her favorite characters from films, shows, and books alike. It’s something that Kyle and John have been supporting wholeheartedly, nurturing the imagination that she seems to have in abundance.
Lost in thought, Kyle doesn’t notice it when Rosie gets up from her spot and pads over to him until she’s suddenly pulling on his sleeve. He blinks back to the present, looking right into his daughter’s questioning face.
“Dad? Will you dance with me like they do in the film?” she asks and Kyle looks from the puppy eyes she’s giving him to the scene currently playing out on the telly.
It’s a ballroom scene with a whimsical song playing over it and he smiles when he remembers some of the lyrics.
“Of course,” he replies, in the most posh accent he can manage as he gets up. “May I have this dance, Princess Bee?”
He bows dramatically then swipes Rosie up in his arms as she giggles, “Dad, it’s Princess Rosanna—“
“Deepest apologies, your Highness.”
He turns up the sound of the telly, then starts swaying around the living room to the rhythm of the music, taking one of Rosie’s hands in his to mimic a ballroom dance. Her other hand is warm on his shoulder and her laughter in his ear is infectious.
Someone holds me safe and warm Anastasia sings and Kyle can’t help but press his daughter a little closer against him as they make another circle around the coffee table. They hum along to the song together as Kyle tries to take it all in, tears prickling at the corners of his eyes. She’s growing up so fast and he’s all too aware that moments like these will not last forever.
He dips Rosie down, then pulls her back up, her cheeks flushed red and eyes wide with joy.
Things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember
Kyle swallows against the lump in his throat as he suddenly remembers another instance of swaying around their flat with Rosie held in his arms. Though that had been in the middle of the night and she’d been only a few weeks old at the time; he and John sleep-deprived as they got up every few hours to feed her. It seems a lifetime ago now.
He’d do it all over again, knowing that it means he gets to have this.
“Do a pirouette!” Rosie demands and Kyle grins as he spins around in place until they’re both dizzy and breathless with laughter. As the song ends, he hugs her close and kisses her cheek over and over until Rosie giggles and pulls her face away with a mock grumble.
Behind him, Kyle can hear the front door of their flat opening and closing.
“Da, we’re dancing!” Rosie calls out and Kyle turns with her still in his arms to see his partner shrug out of his coat, back from running his errands.
“Are we now?” John smiles, toeing off his shoes and stepping towards them.
Kyle leans forward to snatch the remote from the table, rewinds to the start of the song, then drags John in by his sleeve.
“Her Highness Princess Rosanna-Bee demands it,” he says, gently swaying his hips as the music slowly intensifies. John holds his gaze for a moment, eyes twinkling and a smile pulling on his lips.
“Haven’t danced in a while, might step on your toes,” he comments, bringing his right arm around Kyle’s back to join them in their dance.
Rosie pats his shoulder in consolation. “That’s okay, Da. Just try your best.”
Kyle has to keep himself from snickering at her completely honest tone and the affronted look on John’s face in return. Then he pulls his partner along in a repeat of before, swirling around the living room to the beat of the music.
It’s clumsy and unpractical, with Rosie on his hip —who’s definitely not a toddler anymore, John’s arm around his back, and all three of their hands held together, but Kyle doesn’t care. All he cares about is the pure joy on his daughter’s face as he sings along to the lyrics this time, pitching his voice to reach the high notes.
They do another spin, and just before the song ends, Kyle trips over the coffee table and with an exaggerated cry, lets himself fall onto the sofa, on top of John, Rosie still held in his arms.
John lets out a loud oomph as he gets stuck underneath them, causing Rosie to laugh so hard she has tears in her eyes. She wriggles in Kyle’s grip till they’re face to face.
“A real Prince wouldn’t have dropped me,” she says pointedly and this time it’s Kyle’s turn to look affronted, feeling John chuckle underneath him.
“Excuse me,” he returns dryly, “A real Princess wouldn’t have a table in the middle of her ballroom.”
She scoffs, then climbs down from the both of them, dusting off her clothes like a real pretend royal. Before Kyle can get up too, he feels John’s arm snake around his waist and his beard nuzzle his neck.
“You’re still a real Prince to me,” his partner mumbles and Kyle just about melts in his grip. He shuffles around until they’re side by side, the sofa barely able to hold them. Kyle takes a moment to study John; the added grey in his hair and the wrinkles around his eyes. It only makes him look more handsome in Kyle’s humble opinion.
“If I’m a Prince, what does that make you? My dashing Knight?”
“Sure,” John hums, before leaning in for a kiss that Kyle returns happily. He could stay in this moment forever, just enjoying his family.
His daughter has other plans though.
“Ewwww,” Rosie groans, already tired of their mushy behaviour. She throws a pillow at them and they break apart with a laugh.
As she skips past the sofa, Kyle reaches out on a whim and pulls her back into his arms. He kisses her hair and the freckles on her cheeks and her nose, despite the loud protests in between her laughter.
She’s growing up so fast. It feels like Kyle has just blinked and here she is, eight years old already. With a curious mind and her own opinions, while it feels like yesterday he was still changing her diapers. He’s afraid that if he blinks again, she’ll be a teenager already.
So he presses her close against him, as he feels John’s arms around his waist, enjoying it all while he still can.

Kiss Kiss Fall into another old hyperfixation
Anyway, I randomly wanted to redesign the main cast of Ouran in my style/ with headcanons and my own embellishments
Here's a screenshot redraw, I'll put all the redesigns below the break bc I did all the main characters & wanna talk about the choices I made. Also I made up that uniform redesign on the spot bc I when I was doing the characters I just put them in casual clothes lmao
(I might do some others later, like Renge, Kasanoda, Yasuchika, Benibara, etc.)
Going in order of my least favorite to top favorite. And dont mind that I didn't color the clothes, that's not whats important here lmao
Mori is only at the bottom because I don't like the drawing that much, I still think the design is pretty good. Though, like right when I finished coloring, I decided a bun/top-knot would look better so it's a bit disappointing there. In my head, Mori is kind of struggling to figure out who he is & what he wants to do, which is why he follows Honey around and doesn't talk much. He does genuinely like being around the other hosts though.
Also, the undercut because A) he has the reputation for being the scary one & it kinda suits that, B) uh do I even have to say it? ...its hot He does lowkey look like Sokka from Avatar tho, especially with the blue accents
(edit: I accidentally deleted Mori's file so now this is the only copy so 😭)
Honey is next because again I think the drawing itself is a little off and the design is pretty close to Basil from Omori, which i didn't notice until it was too late lmao. One of the main things I didn't like about his character in the show was obviously how childlike he was & how girls still flirted with him even though he looked and acted 6; So now he still acts a bit childish but doesn't play it up as much & definitely has a more normal voice, not a fckn child's.
Haruhi! I definitely had to keep her glasses cuz they were really cute and kinda sold the whole 'commoner' thing in a way. But other than that I mainly wanted to balance out her femininity and masculinity to make her more androgynous/nonbinary/gender-fluid since she definitely has some of that going on in the show as is. I also gave her dark circles under her eyes to kinda show that she worked really hard to get into Ouran with low status.
Next up is Tamaki of course, getting into the characters I'm most happy with the designs of. One small thing I tried to do for each of them was give them varying hair tones; so even though Honey and Tamaki are both blond, I went very platinum-blond with him. When I started drawing him, my only real thought was "he has to be a pretty boy" so I dont have much to say about my choices, but i do think I succeeded. Don't mind the modern mullet thing, I can't stop it
Kyouya is definitely one of my favorite characters as is, seeing as he has one of the more fleshed out & heart-wrenching backstories in the show. I think the only thing I really wanted to change was getting rid of the Anime Bangs, so I just gave him this kinda sleek, kinda messy pushed-back look with a blue tint. Even though it's simple, I really struggled to come up with anything, until I found a page from the author saying smth like "I don't like the idea of him wearing neat clothes" with a picture of him in like a track suit so I did kinda the same outfit
My absolute #1 favorites, Hikaru & Kauru. They're honestly the ones that started it all because Kauru has been my favorite since I first saw the halloween episode (iykyk).
I don't know why, but I wanted their hair to be fluffier/curly and more of a natural(?) ginger color. I knew I wanted Kauru's to be redder and Hikaru's a bit lighter/blonder, but only subtly. I also gave Kauru a scar on his cheek from that time in Karuizawa, but most notably, I gave them blue and pink eyes as their signature colors. Lastly, their expressions are slightly different, because no matter how much they are in sync and try to match each other perfectly, Kauru's a much gentler soul than Hikaru, so I made Hikaru's smile a bit more snarky while Kauru's is soft.
Thank you for looking at my art/ reading my thoughts, here's an extra little design edit & comparison
(lol, I think they're mimicking Kyouya in this panel idek) (Also here you can see I tried the bun hairstyle w Mori, I think it looks good, but this is a really simple drawing so.)

Tomarry/Harrymort Fanfiction Recs | One- Shot Edition; Part 1
Standard Rec Lists Disclaimers Apply: Please for the love of God read the tags and Author's Note/s, This is NOT the ultimate rec lists or whatever, the fics below are my cup of tea.
Also, I tried my best to make the Quotes I included spoiler free but if you think it is just tell me!
(also I have more fic recs! Here)
🍄🍄🍄
1. naïve melody by TheOnceandFutureQueenofTarts
G | 2.9k Words
Summary: “You invited me to go to a fair with you,” Voldemort says levelly. “Because we’re going to battle to the death soon.”
Well, when he puts it like that.
Fluff beloved. They understand each other the way only enemies can. Voldemort as the Drama Expert™ also accidental date 👀
Voldemort returns, looking punchably smug and carrying the largest stuffed lion Harry has ever seen. Competitive git. Harry holds his stuffed snake a little tighter and ignores the feeling of rejection. He’d meant it as a joke, anyway; there’s nothing to be disappointed about.
Voldemort clears his throat. “I propose a trade.”
And he holds out the stuffed lion to Harry, his other hand gesturing for the snake.
Oh.
Harry hands over the snake hesitantly and accepts the lion in turn.
Did we just win each other stuffed animals? he thinks.
2. Breaking More Taboos by Destiny_Of_A_Dragon
M | 3.3k Words
Summary: The first time Harry broke the taboo, he’d been beyond starving, with little to no choice. The second and third times were much the same.
But the fourth?
That’s when everything changed.
I KNOW I RAVED ABOUT IT ALREADY BUT. IT DESERVES REPEATING. LIKE PLS. THIS FIC HAD ME IN A CHOKEHOLD AJSVSHSBSHSH. Also, Deliciously Dark Harry. Voldemort saw that darkness, and moved. When I crave dark Harry who's oblivious he's dark- I read this. Sadly no favorite quote since spoilers 😔
3. Roads Untaken by wynnebat (@wynnefic)
T | 3k Words
Summary: Harry wanted to be outraged on behalf of the castle that he still considered to be his home. Hogwarts didn't deserve to have a piece of Tom Riddle lodged inside it like a particularly vicious splinter.
But there was something he was annoyed about even more than the fact that he was once again alive at the same time as a once and future dark lord. For the first time in his life, he sympathized with Voldemort, and knew that in this one instance, Voldemort might sympathize with him.
Harry looked at Tom head-on, and said, "Albus Dumbledore is a bastard."
*
Both turned down for the position of Hogwarts DADA professor, Tom and Harry have a few things to say to each other.
Ahvshsvs laughing at Dumbledore in this fic. "I am happy to have done right by you.", He says, while making another mistake. Aberforth, Tom & Harry bonding over insulting Albus. They got drunk and planned to build a new school- it was hilarious.
"Do you want to grab a drink at the Hog's Head? Dumbledore's brother works there. He can join us in insulting Dumbledore."
4. V Is For Vampire by duplicity (@duplicitywrites )
T | 13k Words
Summary: One cursed night over seventy years ago, Harry agreed to bite Tom and turn him into a vampire. Flash forward to today, when Tom hires a rag-tag group of starving film students to film a documentary about their lives as two totally platonic vampire pals.
Because Tom thinks their life as vampires is interesting enough for mainstream media.
Because he’s crazy.
Harry should have just let Tom die of old age like any other sane person would have done.
What really endeared me to the Vampire Harry and/or Vampire Tom troupe. COFFIN SHOPPING!!! (≧▽≦) They're idiots who love each other very much. You know that love strengthened, and deepened with time? Yeah, like that. They're everything for each other. I love the whole crew ( ꈍᴗꈍ). Harry's endearing habit of knitting clothes for Tom. Artist Harry who draws (or redraws, as Tom makes a...sketch first) Tom's coffin designs ಥ‿ಥ. Vampire Ollivander [insert shaky eyes]. Ginny is our lord and savior for putting up with these idiots. Ron Weasley is also our savior- because of him there are no....casualties. Jealous Tom [insert shaky red eyes]. Fluff- seriously, I read this when I need a pick me up ( ˘ ³˘)♥. Also Honorary mention to Tom Riddle's Hair Curl™
Harry laid a hand on Tom’s chest and said, “Okay.”
Tom’s anger floundered, replaced with confusion. The harsh, inhuman lines of his face smoothed out as he tilted back, withdrawing from Harry’s touch like it had burned him.
“I said okay,” Harry told him. “I do have you, don’t I? You’re right. I choose to be here, with you, and I’ve done that for about seventy years now.”
5. Sola Fide by crowthing (@crowcrowcrowthing )
M | 7.9k Words
Summary: Surely what he was dealing with was some level of deity, because quite suddenly the man was standing in front of him. No trace of apparition, no burst of speed. The man had parted through space and now towered over him, translucent and human-like.
Harry offered up his bleeding hand.
Hermit Harry- still magical, though. His lifestyle is so calming, no kidding ( ╹▽╹ ). I love the world building (?) In it where it shows his simple life. Love the cute niffler and the gnome family ( ꈍᴗꈍ). Harry taking care of his magical garden and Voldemort supplying the rare seeds ಥ‿ಥ. *Screams* BWVSSGSVSGSGGS VEE AND HARRY'S RELATIONSHIP IS JUST 👌. Mutual Devotion [insert vibing emoji].
Blood glared against pale skin, ruby-bright, gathering in bunches and trickling down a bare chest. The man was so much taller than Harry, so much more, even while still so insubstantial. He eclipsed the world, staring down with those red, unblinking eyes and such pale, scaled skin.
He leaned in to rasp into Harry’s ear, “Worship me.”

Hello NostalgicFriends! I'm back with another completely off-the-wall toy to try and identify using only the vaguest of childhood memories (we're going almost entirely on vibes here) and the two least helpful pictures you might ever see.
Luckily, I will also include an expert artist's rendition.
So it was, I believe, a set of two little aliens. They were reptilian/amphibious in nature, and one was round and froglike (pictured below) and the other, I believe, stood more upright like a little dinosaur.
Now here's the part I'm not sure was real: I swear I remember them coming in a little black bag of goo and you had to find/recover them out of the goo. It had, like, a vaguely top secret alien theme, maybe? These things might be entirely unrelated.
Artist's rendition of how I remember it in my three to four year old memory:
Additional unhelpful information:
I incorrectly remember it being Men in Black themed, so maybe around that time?
I thought my dad got it for me at dollar tree but honestly who even knows
I DO have the Absolute Worst pictures of the round green one that I tried to draw above. (The pictures were found AFTER the drawing and I don't feel like redrawing it so just. there.)
Any step in the right direction would be so appreciated as this is one of the few toys from my childhood that I remember SO vividly but can't even figure out if it was real or not!

Just wanted to mention this to someone who does art and get their opinion on it:
Sometimes I see some artists do redraws of their old artworks or characters and think "Wow, uh... their older art looks better." Sometimes it's only mildly better, but other times it's vastly better. Like the Upgrade, Go Back! meme.
I understand that art skills are supposed to develop and change, hopefully for the better, but sometimes it just feels like they got... worse? Somehow? Idk. Maybe it's because they were copying another artist's style while finding their own, and it's their own style that doesn't vibe with me? Just curious what your thoughts are about this.
Also, your art has consistently been great, so this isn't directed at you.
I do see this on occasion yeah! usually (in my experience anyway) its because people take a sharp turn towards a stylization that either isn't to your or most people's tastes, or that they don't understand or are still developing. switching up how you stylize your art is like starting over in a sense, you're changing from what you have practice with and that's always going to cause you to revert some as you have to re-learn things you understood in your previous style. i had a pretty big style shift in 2014 when i took up the basis for how my art looks now, and i remember feeling like some of the stuff i was drawing might have looked better if i was using my older style instead. that's something artists just have to push through and figure out, and they'll likely come out of it a better artist than they were before. constructive critiques are a good way for them to figure out why their art might not be as "good" as it used to be, if they're open for those.
art is not always a linear journey, and i would also say things like passion and motivation have a part in it too. feeling inspired sparks you to make something the best it can be, if you're not feeling it (and esp if that feeling lasts for a long time) it'll leave you making decisions you otherwise would not have let fly, and that can result in worse art. and some of it is just personal preference! it's not that their art is better or worse, it's just different now, and maybe that doesn't vibe with you the same way their old stuff did. and that's fine 👍
(thank you! :3 i admittedly struggle a bit with Not Feeling It sometimes like i just described, so it's nice to know people still enjoy what i make when that feeling hits.)
#ask#anonymous#anon#art talk#or occasionally its because they let the h-rny take over and um. they get Grotesque about it whhjbdfdfg#i saw someone post a before and after fanart pic of tasque manager on twitter and everyone was like omg you've improved so much!#and they were all talking about. the older piece. because the newer one had some Proportions that werent even sexy they were just uhhhhhhhh#deviantart would be impressed. lets say#and just generally some of the other anatomy and rendering got way wonkier and broken from the earlier one too. it was strange#the weird thing is the older one was also a lil spicy/exaggerated but it was like tasteful and the anatomy was solid and it had some good#coloring and rendering choices etc etc. idk thats always the first example i think of because there were so many comments#pointing out - inadvertently - that the new art was Worse. but i do see it sometimes. i also think of um#there is some notorious artist whos style suddenly got really transphobically stylized. and racist#you'd think it was a troll but it was real. and most of their older art was actually p good is the weird fuckin thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#why'd you kneecap yourself like that bro. i dug around a bit and the artist was rcdart#i feel like most of the examples i've seen of this are COMICALLY bad. like the artist got brain damage#anyway thats a novels worth of text but tldr yeah it do be like that sometimes. rip

ANOTHER JOURNEY BEGINS TODAY!
Happy Hobbit Day everybody! In celebration of Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday, I am—as promised—reading LotR again. I hope you’ll join me for another journey through this wonderful book!
What To Expect:
Chapter Reviews
Reviews of Phil Dragash’s audiobook
Reblogs of old art (when it’s still good)
Redraws of old art (when it isn’t lol)
Brand new art (for moments I missed on the last go-round)
And more shenanigans!
I would also like to run another ask game, if possible! I might revive one of the old ask games, or—as suggested by the ladies on the discord server—I might draw funny scenes from the movies on request. Vote for your favorite below!
So, Lady Glasses, where have you been?
Some of you were looking forward to seeing more Magnolia AU content in the interim between LotR rereads, and I’m really sorry I wasn’t able to deliver on that. A lot of things started to change IRL right around the time I finished the book, which affected my schedule and how much free time I had to draw. I also made a new friend, and with that person, started to roleplay my original characters (which I’m going to tell myself was writing practice ;-P), and that took up a lot of my creative energy as well.
But I’ve been promising for months that I’d start reading LotR again today, and I want to make good on at least one promise. So, here I am! I hope to be able to keep to the doodle-a-day schedule I had last year. We shall see.
As of today, I am actually on vacation, but I’ve been working hard for the past month to make sure you guys have reviews and doodles to enjoy even while I’m away from home. Thank you so much for your patience with me, and I hope you enjoy this brand new journey through Lord of the Rings!
WELCOME TO ANOTHER YEAR OF FRODO-WITH-GLASSES!
#poll time!#lady glasses speaks#blog maintenance#my writing#my art#frodo baggins#samwise gamgee#meriadoc brandybuck#merry#peregrin took#pippin#lord of the rings#lotr#fig tree au

Fateful Encounter...
Last month, at around April 10th, I decided to revisit an old project I started months prior which was to polish up a test sketch of a comic page about Lucy encountering Lumi in the dreamspace. And after slowly making progress on this, I'm finally finished with this!
I'm gonna leave some artist notes under the read more, but overall I'm super proud of how this turned out!! This is pretty much my first serious attempt at making comics in general so this has been a very interesting learning experience!
Artist notes:
So this is what the original sketch for this whole thing was. It was just me scribbling out a scene I had in my head for Startrails that I wanted to put on paper:
This I'd say was made around 2020-2021 ish. At the time, I didn't really do much with it. Until several months ago, I thought of trying to redraw this page and expand upon it.
But my first attempt at doing this didn't quite lead anywhere. I barely got through the thumbnailing process and just gave up bc I lost motivation (and life/work stuff was Happening so yea I had to put this aside as I figured stuff out). Here's the first draft of the thumbnails:
It was just two pages at the time and was pretty simple. I left this project sitting in my files for a while until I one day just, started binging videos from Thestarfishface on YouTube, primarily her webcomic guide videos. And I decided I'd give this project another go.
It was here where I began making a second draft of the thumbnails and this was what I had to work with:
I wanted to experiment with the panels and get funky with the compositions this time around. The 2 page draft expanded to a 3 page thing. But I thought it would've been better if I added one more page at the end with Lucy waking up as a conclusion to wrap this whole thing together.
And in the middle of working on page 3, my friend had suggested to do a an impact frame page, which I hadn't considered during the thumbnailing, so 4 pages became 5. And this was the result!
I posted the pages as I finished them onto my deviantart so that's where a lot of my thoughts were journaled as I went along dfjsdh.
To summarize my ramblings there, this project was a very fun (and a bit frustrating) learning experience! I'm hoping to keep practicing and improving my workflow, and hopefully one day make Startrails a full fledged webcomic :')
Additional ramblings:
The structure that Lucy finds Lumi in is inspired by an orrery.
For page 5, I initially didn't plan for much dialogue but as I drew it, it felt just a liiiitle bit empty, so I kinda just threw in some dialogue for Mira. But bc I was already in the inking process (and I just wanted to have this project completed), I didn't redo the page to even include Mira in it. So Mira's just out of frame sdfjskdh. If I had more time and energy to keep this up, I'd have made a revision of the page so I could include her.
This experience has taught me that I could seriously work on my rendering process a bit more, and that my layer management is just atrocious sdkfjksdfh
This has also taught me that while Medibang has the tools needed for me to draw these pages just fine, it also lacks some stuff that I personally need if I were to do a longer project like this. So I'll be experimenting with CSP next!
The dialogue throughout this whole thing wasn't all that planned out- I really just stuck close to what the initial doodle had which probably wasn't the best idea bc I just have like, 2 pages of Lucy's awkward sounding dialogue aaaa. I might do something a bit more dialogue heavy to help improve this skill next time.
Anyway, thank you for reading through my 1 am ramblings on this little project of mine shdkjhks

friend sent me some touhou things :]
the booklet from Tetra is printed on beautiful glossy paper this time and I had NO idea until today... I might frame each page for real. and I can't wait to listen to Q!!! I looked through the booklet and it's absolutely going to destroy me. might write a post about it later
(also another prison cell comic from Sozoro but with reimu this time?? hello????)
fic booklets!!! so nice having them real in my hands... I drew that reimu btw. it's a redraw of a reaaally old picture from years ago, maybe some longtime followers recognise it...
and finally the real hifuu divorce certificate used for one of the fics, framed and in all of its glory

OCtober day 2 - new oc
finally i get to post this!!! Brendon is probably as new as it gets, since i made him around 2021, along with a few other characters for Evoterra :3
(more info/prompt credits under the cut)
if anyone's curious about him, my ask box is as always open ^-^ but to be fair he's still VERY underdeveloped, so i might not be able to answer all the questions. all i can say for now is he's probably some sort of politician or has some sort of influence in one of the bigger cities/settlements in Evo. also he's an antagonist/anti-hero in that side story and he most likely either joins Huen or works with her for some time.
i did have a few other potential ocs that i could use. for example, i created Reymond around the same time as Brendon, also for Evo. there are also the 3 major gods from Deiterra, since i only created their official designs back in 2022(?), but idk if they count, cuz they DID exist beforehand? i just never drew them before that point? almost all of my other ocs are old or REALLY old and i just keep rebooting/redesigning them every few years lol.
another silly thing, this is actually a redraw of one of my first drawings of him i'd made back in 2021! and to be fair i didn't really draw that much of him since then. here's the original:
also fun fact, his mask is based on an actual mask that i brought back from my trip to venice a few years ago :D
prompt list by @/_bweird on twitter!

Live-Drawing Summary
On August 18th, Webtoon CANVAS did a creator summit where Webtoon authors could teach others and share their process. Sleepacross was one of the many artists who were invited, and they did a live-drawing session.
The Webtoon moderators said that the stream was recorded, but we have no idea as to when it will be published, so I thought it'd be nice to write down the questions and answers that were said in the stream!
This is very much paraphrased and spoken from memory, so some things might be a bit off (and I apologize). I marked the things I am not completely sure about with a "(?)"
If you were in the event too and want to correct me on something, just tell me and I'll edit the post!
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q: Which character changed the most and which character changed the least from how they were in the beginning?
A: Sayeon changed the most, Min changed the least.
Q: Who do you like to write more and who do you like to write the least?
A: Sleepacross likes to write Ryujin best, because they like angry women, but doesn't like to write Min as much, because it's hard to get across what Min is thinking.
Q: Who looks better in a suit?
A: [REDACTED]
Q: What are your sources of inspiration for Hand Jumper?
A: Videogames. They cited The Witcher and the author of Berserk as an inspiration. "Thank you to old men."
Q: What will you do after Hand Jumper is finished?
A: Not quite sure. Sleepacross is studying to be a Visdev for videogames. Maybe they will make another webtoon, as they have other ideas, but they are unsure.
Q: How many seasons will Hand Jumper have?
A: Probably 3. Hand Jumper can be a little longer or shorter depending on the pacing of the story.
Q: What character are you most excited to show more of?
A: Samin and Sara Lee.
Q: How did you come up with the magic system for Hand Jumper?
A: Sleepacross wanted to make something a little mystical but that also was a little grounded in reality. They also mentioned that there is soft magic in Hand Jumper. (but their stream froze while they were speaking, so I didn't catch the rest </3)
Q: How do you balance out college and Hand Jumper?
A: They don't.
Q: How did the pitching for Hand Jumper work?
A: Word vomited into a google docs for 2 days and apparently that was good enough for Webtoon, who greenlit the series.
Q: How many assistants do you have?
A: Two flat color assistants, one editor.
Q: Biggest challenge when creating Hand Jumper? (?)
A: Sleepacross wanted to do everything on their own at first, but it was tiring. Eventually they got assistants to help out, and said that we should look for assistants too, if we ever decide to make a comic.
A: Not too far.
Q: How far along was the original Hand Jumper when the originals version got released?
Q: How many episodes did you have ready when you began uploading the original Hand Jumper on Webtoon?
A: Just 2. Don't do that.
Q: Advice for others who are starting their webcomic?
A: Draw what you like, write for yourself, and do test panels to know how the webtoon will look like.
Q: Are there plans to have a physical copy of Hand Jumper?
A: Not yet, but the idea sounds nice. Either way they'd have to redraw the old chapters because they'd rather gauge their eyes out than have them be printed.
Q: What character would you personally simp for who isn't Samin?
A: Ryujin (? I think ?)
Q: Is Iseul actually nice or is he a psycopath?
A: Iseul is nice. They added by saying "Nice characters are nice in my Webcomic."
Q: How much time do you spend working on Hand Jumper?
A: No idea.
Q: What takes the most time to draw in Hand Jumper? (?)
A: Action scenes.
Q: What's most important when making a custom brush on CSP?
A: The pen pressure, so you can get a better feel of your tools.
Q: What brush do you use to lineart? (?)
A: A custom brush lovingly nicknamed "sleep2"
Q: About the songs in Hand Jumper...
A: Sleepacross will upload the songs on youtube eventually, and is working on a new song which they will feature in the first episode of season 2.
Q: When will season 2 come out?
A: No idea, but they are working on it.
Q: Can you make your college work Hand Jumper related?
A: Sadly no, their assignments don't have anything to do with Hand Jumper
Q: What characters do you like the most? (?)
A: Sayeon and Officer Han

tally hall sketches and other assorted doodles
Here ya go guys! I also have improvement pics from last year! Almost two years in the Tally Hall fandom! Woohoo! My Marvin's CD is gonna hate me even more after all of this
A Ross sketch! I'm super proud of how it turned out! Below is a close-up!
The aforementioned close-up, showing the shading on his face and the folds of his sleeve!
Zubin! I love the side profile, and I used his picture in the MMMM booklet as a reference! Close up below, so you can see some of the more fine details/shading
the close-up!
Here's Andrew! His hair is kinda hard to not fluff-ify, but I dealt with it anyways and tried my best to keep it close to reality. Obligatory close(r)-up below.
next will be some other random stuff, mostly tally hall, but some of it is oc art
drew this drawing of Ross last September. Not amazing but very stylized, which I love/hate. the tag on the bottom left reads, "he's rather disheveled but this is the best I could do back then"
wtf is he doing? He in an action movie or something? btw this was last-year's andrew. very stylized. i hate it.
decided not to include the other last-year Rob cause i hate it deeply. this one's much better. very fluffy. i dont like the collar tho
just me poking fun at my horrendous attempts at stylizing joe. im not gonna draw him as much as the others btw.
This is from an au created by @bonkdd, but i did rob and andrew's designs bc i never saw his designs for them. i also added a lot of lore and plot stuff because i really liked the concept. in simple terms the tallies are robots that were abandoned by Marvin after he passed away so now they're falling apart n stuff without him to care for them (that's why rob hides his face). Anyways, huge thanks to Bonk for the original idea! They're a great artist, you should go check them out!
Edith, drawn/sketched with a ballpoint pen.
Another one. I like this one better, but I spent two days on this one versus a half on hour on the other so i guess it makes sense
Adrian and Reuben (OCs), done in a college-ruled notebook bc i ran out of pages in my sketchbook. next is a close-up so you can see more shading.
probably my favorite gay couple i've ever written ngl
Ace again, but wearing Reuben's favorite sweater.
Looking mighty fine!
He's lookin' tough, he's got the stuff, he's got the spiffy shades... (/lyric)
pose practice
Boll weevil, why don't you get out of your home? (/lyric)
old art jumpscare - i actually kinda like this one, might redraw it. Below is the full thing
why is zubes staring like that??? its creepy
here's another. i don't know why it's sideways. andrew is scared of joe btw, this isn't the entire drawing
Did an embossing peice. It's the Mojo Chessmaster! I tried by best to make it as detailed as possible, and I think I did pretty alright. The neck was probably the worst part to do. Below are close-ups
the head of the guitar was a pain in the ass.
This part was also pretty tricky but it came out okay. the dials at the bottom are raised as much as I could get them to go, so I'm not worried about them. My issue here was the pickups.
I also added Flansburgh's little signature guy but i drew his hair because why not? Anyways this piece took me a good hour or so to finish, I think it'll fetch a good grade (it was for my metal design class).
I'll add a sketch I just did as a bonus:
it's from a tally hall fanfic/au i made back in may after my grandpa passed away. It was a great stress-reliever and I still really like how it turned out. It's about cryptids and monsters and shit. I'll post a summary on a different post because this one was mostly for the drawings. I might post a few installments of it on my ao3. It could be a weekly thing since i usually have time on fridays to write.
Once again, a close-up is available below.
I put literal hours of research on cryptids and of the area (ann harbor, MI) while writing this fic. It was fun though, and it helped me a lot. Feel free to ask me anything about the plot or world-building !

hey so if you’ve noticed my posting has been less “frequent” I guess I mean I posted a lot today but that’s because I was having a mettaton craze and most of that is because of personal stuff
but I’m also working on some projects and I wanted to list a couple so you guys can see some of the stuff I’m working on
of course I’ll probably be doing some undertale stuff, gravity falls stuff, Minecraft, etc that I couldn’t list here but these are the main things on my mind right now
I wanted to be a little more transparent about stuff since I feel like my posts have been a bit “dry” especially for the people who followed me for gravity falls and reverse falls content since I’ve kinda just been doing shitposts and mettaton stuff recently
but I assure you bigger stuff is coming but I’m also only one person so it might take a bit
If you want more in depth information about the things listed I’ll put it under here for whoever wants to read
The reverse falls ask blog:
Everything is set up so far but the only thing really challenging me is will.
Will’s design, personality, etc I feel like it all has to be perfect. I want him to be unique. I’ve been switching back and forth with making the story serious to silly to serious to silly blah blah blah yknow.
I have an artstyle in mind but it doesn’t fit very well for Will’s design. So that’s something I need to work on.
The OC comic:
Im less focused on this since my oc isn’t really a big thing.
So far I haven’t really had people asking about their story and that’s ok so right now it’s kind of just a half baked idea but I still want to give a bit of a backstory on how my character turned out so koo-koo Mary sue.
I would spoil it but I’m saving it for if someone asks or if I actually make the damn thing
The Bureau of 7 story and character designs:
If you saw my character design based on the deadly sin of lust he’s one of the big boy villains in the story.
Right now I’m more focused on the oc character designs than the big story since thinking on its own is harder than drawing out my thinking.
It’d probably be on wattpad but I’ll show you the story once I’ve yknow..actually made the damn chapter.
Robux Commissions
Commissions in robux because I don’t have any PayPal or anything..it’s kinda self explanatory.
It’s not for any urgent reason I just wanna actually be making shit for any type of profit and I also want an excuse to play Roblox again. It’ll probably be a temporary thing until I get a money transferring stuff thing
Date Night Parasite
A mini comic in order for me to both test my comic making skills and show off a cool idea I had
The premise of the comic being about someone going on a date with someone they met on a dating app until the person finds out who they’re dating is a literal parasite that has the urge to gain sustenance off their mortal flesh and energy but still wants a relationship…somehow and trying to find a way to compromise to make the relationship work
Oc stories and redraws of old art
Another character story I’ve been trying to develop but haven’t posted jack about it.
It’s a bit more well thought out than the bureau of seven since it’s been in my brain for awhile now
I would also explain this one’s plot but it is very..very..verrrryyy complicated and hard for me to explain.
And the art redraws are also decently self explanatory
So yeah. I pray I can get these things done and over with tbh especially the ask blog that’s been eating away at my souls for months I tell you
good chat byeee
#hey hey#kinda important post for people who want to know what’s going on#artwork#reverse falls#artists on tumblr#oc struggles#oc artist#art#comic stuff#personal stuff#blog update#stuff update in general#stupid#gf tag#oc comic

Hey, I adore your artstyle mate, I loveeee all the vivid colors and the fact that most of it lacks lines?? You doing the hard stuff, but it paying off 💜
can I ask, as I’d like to get into comic making, how long does it take you to finish a a single panel?
Hi!! thank you very much!!
drawing lineart is incredibly frustrating to me so im very glad i was able to make the jump to mostly lineless artwork, tho im very much still at the beginning to learn how to do it xD
to answer your question, i .. cant say really, it depends on what is on the panel, and i always jump around when working on a page, i draw half of the very last panel, then jump to another, maybe i see something i want to change right away and work on the third
besides i ... dont know anything about panel composition, i think in movies so i play it and try to pause it on a frame that could work as a panel, whichs is probably why it goes alot slower than normal comics, idk how much to skip gndfjknvgfdjk
im by no means an expert in making comics, you kinda have to find your own way of what works for you, i have done many in the past but all failed, i gave up before getting even one chapter done many times
general advice i can give you is, most importantly, dont wait, i know its daunting to start, but you have to start, even if you dont think you are good enough, you will always change and improve anyway, better start now or you might do it never, and remember, when a page is done its done, i know how tempting it is to go back and redo it, but if you start with that it will only lead to an endless cycle of remaking it over and over
a cause that made me abandon my old projects, was partly lack of support/recognition, but mostly that i was forcing myself to things that werent fun, like one i made in black and white bc i thought you had to do it bc color takes too long, but i live for colors, so it drained the fun out of it immediately
the only "rules" i have set for myself is that its understandable, the flow of the action doesnt flip around too much, speech bubbles are aligned in a way that guides you (of course im not perfect at that either and always learn);
i dont jump between pages, i jump between working on panels, but i dont start another page before the previous is at least acceptable, otherwise id get ahead of myself and get impatient, just wanting to skip ahead and neglect older pages;
and that i only work on a panel/page as long as it has acceptable quality and is fun to draw, when i notice im getting bored or frustrated i finish it quickly as best as i can and move on, otherwise it might drag the entire project down, which is why each panel or page in 'Destiny' varies alot in quality
i can barely look at the first pages .. or even at the last one i made for that matter, but its also fascinating, how much my art changes within even one update which takes me about a month for 4 pages, since i have set my 'fun' rules at least, it used to take much longer
(i wish i was faster, and i could be, but i have a job, and have to look out for my health, both physically and mentally, so i take whatever time i need and draw however much i feel like drawing, no rushing)
my progress so far is that i write a rough script, what happens, what dialog, where it ends, and so on, it doesnt have to sound good, god knows mine are shitty xD but its a good guideline, even if rough!
then i make a rough draft, basic panel layout, dialog (it always changes fro mthe script, again its more liek a guideline than a rule ;) )
then i start with actually drawing the first page, my art and way of .. art and writing changes incredibly fast (idk if its for the better lol) so .. by that point i redraw the rough draft version of the page if i see how it works better, rewrite dialog too, and even cut stuff from the rough draft
im not done with the first chapter (im slow af lol), but wrote the script for the second one when my hand was injured and i couldnt draw for a month, once im done with this chapter i will draw the rough draft for ch2, then write the script for ch3 then go and draw ch2 fully, at least thats the plan
the more time passes the more i know what the next chapters are gonna be, tho i know the important points long before; right now i have the entirety of the first arc sepeareted into chapters, and the end of it all too, but between there its still a lil blurry and im adjusting everytime i think of soemthing better
anyway, sorry for that long ass ramble, its late and i thoguht about this ask bc im trying to get my want to draw back (not feeling well rn nkfdnkd) so i randomly decided to answer it .. probably in the most unhelpful way possible, alot of stuff noone aksed for lol
anyway, sorry, and goodnight uwu
#ganondoodles answers#i hope i didnt sound too preachy#or soemthing#idk im not good at giving advice#..and my way of drawing changes so fast#whenever i explain sth it usualyl changes right afterwards#and man that feels shitty#like im lying to people#:(
