#story thieves art

[kaetor]

I swore to myself I'd never redesign the black mask fit because I think it's perfect the (horrible) way it is but then I got bored and had an idea.

#goro akechi #persona 5 #p5 #akechi goro #p5r #persona 5 royal #cleb art #look! a wild character design #i lovethe og black mask tho. every time someone says he looks bad i add another pile of dirt to the hill ive chosen to die on #“hereward fit” is less of that specifically and more #a part of a long drawn out au/story that exists in p5 postcanon in my head #and i dont think akechi would have that outfit he wears in canon when he's like an adult #& has done some level of development past the horrible mess of a person he is in game #i think if the metaverse continued to exist in some form #or like if any pf the thieves joined the shadow ops all of their outfits would change #as their perceptions of themselves grew and changed #not joker tho joker would b the same joker's already reached his ideal sense of fashion

Can you please do some prompts about art thieves? Thank you!!!

1) Character A: There's something about the way you steal my breath that rivals even the finest painting.

Character B: You always know how to flatter a fellow thief.

Character A: Well, you know, we both have a talent for making things disappear.

Character B: Just remember, you're the one thing I never want to lose.

2) Character A: Every stolen piece feels like a part of my soul is being sold.

Character B: I see the pain in your eyes, and it tears me apart too.

Character A: We were meant for so much more, but now we're stuck in this endless cycle.

Character B: We'll find a way out, my love, even if it means leaving it all behind.

3) Character A: We're being watched. I can feel it. Be on your guard.

Character B: How did they find us? We were careful, weren't we?

Character A: It doesn't matter now. We'll need to steal our way out of this one.

Character B: If they want a game, they've picked the wrong thieves.

4) Character A: I can't believe we're breaking into this place.

Character B: But think of it as... a forced museum visit!

Character A: Oh, sure, complete with alarms, security, and a possible jail sentence.

Character B: All the best museums have that, right?

5) Character A: For you, my love, a masterpiece worthy of your beauty.

Character B: You're as priceless to me as any treasure. How did I get so lucky?

Character A: Our love is the greatest heist of all, and it's worth any risk.

6) Character A: The walls are closing in on us, love. We need a way out.

Character B: We've weathered worse storms before. We'll find an escape.

Character A: What if our love story ends here, amidst the ruins of our ambitions?

Character B: I won't let that happen. We'll rewrite our destiny, no matter the odds.

7) Character A: It's beautiful, but it shouldn't be in our possession.

Character B: Beauty is meant to be appreciated, no matter where it's kept.

Character A: What if we get caught? What if the world loses this masterpiece forever?

Character B: Relax, darling. We're art thieves, not destroyers. The world will thank us one day.

The thing about video games is that it's rare for an equal amount of effort to have gone into, and for an equal amount of quality to reflect in, both gameplay and writing.

I rewatched Hbomberguy's video on Deus Ex recently, where he repeatedly describes the original as having "one of the best storylines in gaming history". With respect, uh, I kinda hope it doesn't? DX is a marvel of early game design, rightfully used as inspiration by subsequent developers, but the plot is an insane hodgepodge of conspiracy theory tropes ironed out into a workable Go Here, Do This framework. Sure, it features discussions on political and philosophical concepts never raised in a video game before (and rarely since...), but those are optional conversations in what is otherwise the same gameplay first, writing second design approach evident in, say, Halo.

Because by and large - aside from certain genres like point and click (Monkey Island) or puzzle games bordering on visual novels (Ace Attorney) - that's the industry standard. It costs a lot more time, effort and money to program passable-to-good gameplay than it takes to produce a passable-to-good script. The former non-negotiably requires hardware, training, and Q&A testing. The latter can be banged out in an afternoon by one guy who read one book one time. This is the industry context, and the reason in the very same video, Hbomberguy made a point of separating "good writing for a story" from "(surprisingly) good writing for a video game".

This is the specific thing that makes the Sly Cooper trilogy interesting, I think, whenever I have to explain the relevancy of my PlayStation 2 blorbo to someone who hasn't heard of him. Sucker Punch took pains from the beginning to have the gameplay reflect the storyline and vice versa, which was by no means a guarantee in 2002, or to an extent, even today.

...and it's also something that's evident in the divisive reaction to Thieves in Time. that's RIGHT motherfuckers first whINY TiT POST OF 2024-

I'm not sure I have ever, even in the post-release "Phantom Menace is good actually" era, heard anybody say that TiT was better written than the trilogy. I remember thinking it was fun in its zaniness, but comparing like with like for, say, the Neyla or Black Baron twists versus the Black Knight ""twist"", even at my most charitable there was a clear step down.

But that's the thing: for me and my college-educated media-crit Tumblr besties, the decline is unforgivable. For a lot of gamers? It's just a matter of going from "above average" to "average". It's not a dealbreaker.

Insofar as I see people talk about TiT, I don't hear anyone defend the the plot, the justice done to existing characters, the implementation of new ones, the mission structure, the rail-roading, the way the cutscenes so blatantly break the Show Don't Tell maxim, the humour, the racism, the sexism... any of it. Because like, who cares? PS3 Sly Cooper game. New levels with new graphics and new music. Jump and hit the O button.

From this perspective, a video game doesn't need good writing any more than a book needs good gameplay.

#video games aren't art unless a Scary Grown-up says they aren't #in which case I will get performatively defensive for a while and eventually forget about it again #fr when I see discussion of TiT on other sites it's either #''that game's story sucked'' OR ''yes that game's story sucked but meh I liked it fine'' #Thieves in Time is a Flawless Masterpiece And Here's Why #<- said no-one

I find it so funny when people are getting upset and aggressive and block me for reporting them for copyright infringement after deleting my request to take down my stolen art. Don't steal and use people's art without permission and artists won't report you, easy as pie. Also STFU because I had all rights to report you and you had zero rights to use my art. I got also told that they used the cover art for my fanfic for their fanfic and cropped out my title before. Like seriously? This fandom isn't that big. Sooner or later people will notice stuff like that so just don't do it.

(Also do you really think blocking me will do anything? I can still see what you're doing without being logged in and I will report you again if you use my artwork again. All it does is showing me that you know exactly what you're doing and you don't care that it is wrong.)

To the other artists, if you want a short cut to the right form to fill out to get your art taken down, DM me, I have the link still open. (took me a moment to find the right one)

It's been eight years and these two still have my heart. I still remember being a preteen and squealing at the epilogue of the first book. I remember sobbing at the fakeout Charm death. It's so incredible to me that a book meant for elementary school kids could have such a profound impact on me, but I still adore these characters to the moon and back.

Nothing was fair.

Noah and Blue from The Raven Cycle

#i will forever be furious and heartbroken that Noah was erased from his friends memories #he played such an important role in these books #in fact you could argue (as you can with every character) that he is the reason for the story #to just erase the affect he had on his friends kills me #his relationship with Blue is so special to me and I love their dynamic #blue sargent #noah czerny #the raven cycle #trc #trc spoilers #dream thieves #a dreamer's art #a dreamer's thoughts #the gangsey #artist #artists on tumblr #fannart #fan art

double au time

i like redesigning characters so here are some described akechi redesigns for two aus. will i ever do art for them? once i get used to using a drawing tablet again.

a crow and his flock of thieves:

akechi is still the the same canon height (5'10" or 178 cm), he's just hunched over like joker is to make himself seem smaller. his hair is longer, i'd say quarter-back length, and messier with curls. he doesn't wear glasses like joker does, he lets his hair do the job. key parts of his design are a locket that's usually hidden under his clothes and his iconic gloves. for his summer casual clothes, he wears a t-shirt with a blue and pink button up and loose fitting jeans. during the winter he wears a turtleneck with a shirt over it, a hoodie, and more loose fitting jeans. well, before he has to go into hiding.

crow the story weaver:

i curse silly clothes upon him!

for physical appearance, his hair is also longer but not as long as the other one. he dyes his hair the colors of wonderlands x showtime after the main story's conflict is settled and even dyes some streaks blond with peach ends to match the tenmas. debating on if he should have glasses or not. his ears are pierced and he wears the earrings the tenmas gave him when he officially got adopted. a locket that has a photo of his mother is always around his neck.

he freed himself of the grandpa clothes in this universe! thank the gods! his casual clothes consist of a thin light blue turtleneck with a baggy light pink shirt over it. his pants are baggy and he has a chain with multiple keychains on it from his friends. he continues to wear the black gloves. the shirt might have a design on it but i don't know yet.

his unit/performance clothes look very much like the 'welcome to the black parade' uniforms for the music video but with a vkei twist. that's really all i can use to describe it other than also having goggles sitting on his head. he does wear some makeup to sell a vampire look by using a bloody lip tint and heavy eye makeup. he looks like the troupe's intimidating bodyguard. he carries around a folder made to look like a book which has all of the scripts he's written.

#a crow and his flock of thieves au #crow the story weaver au #akechi goro #goro akechi #i love designing characters it's so fun #i do wish my art skills were better so i can accurately depict the makeup for story weaver #alas pinterest references will have to do #but i will draw these bc i love them sm #persona 5 #p5r #project sekai #the consequence of leaving the grandpa clothes behind is that tsukasa takes them up now

So I saw this today and it immediately reminded me of that scene in the beginning of the third book where Owen’s writing fanfic about him and Charm and Bethany’s dad is there, and Nobody tells him off for it by typing it out in the story.

Then I made this

Which only I will ever find funny
