New character sprites - Weekly Report: 08/12/2023 (Patreon)

Heya guys o/

This week I'm finally getting back into the hang of things, I'm catching up on commission work and once again starting to put more time into game dev on the regular! I want to get to the point where I can put more time into game dev than anything else but I have some few more commissions left over before I can achieve that. Till then though, I am still working and will still have stuff to show!

I finished up the rough draft of the animation I want for the spell/element mixing. The shake and vfx is very rough but I like the concept on paper, so I will start refining it into the final version with nicer looking sparkles and replacing the trail from the elements with more sparkles. Once the art for the book is done, I'd like to refin the element layout next.

You might have noticed from the gif above, but I have also redrawn Luna & Cinis in a new style, as well as given them lil idle animations! I think the original style, while rendered nicely, ended up looking stiff so I've moved over to something looser and more inline with the expressiveness of my regular sketches.

That's all for this week's progress! I want to make a change with the schedule of these starting next one, instead of on every friday, I will start posting it on every saturday morning. My current work schedule is Monday to Friday, so I leave these reports for the evening after my usual work hours so I can fit in the progress I've done on the same Friday as well, but writing this late is kind of annoying, so I'm moving it in to the next morning so I can write them while drinking some coffee <3

See you next week o/
