Nude Byte Extras: July 2023 (Patreon)

This month's NPC will be the shortstack: Dimi
In Nude Byte, there's a theme for all NPCs: Each of them are bootlegs of existing characters with a trait that's altered.
Dimi is a short version of Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village.
There isn't much to show about Dimi. There weren't any other sketches or early designs that I can show. (Well, maybe the claw hands of hers that I later changed to a cigar instead, which can be seen above)
And to honest, I'm not really into her to get interested and say things about her. (Luckily, I managed to hire a writer for her who can write wordy dialogues. Perfect for her. Unfortunately for me, wordy = high word count, and paying writers are based on word count. A huge ouch to my wallet)
So instead, let me show another NPC who wasn't able to get into the game: Earth-chan
However, as mentioned before, NPCs have a theme where an existing character was given an altered trait.
But this NPC doesn't have any "altered trait". She's just Earth-chan.
So I gave her a dirt look, hoping to turn her into a "Post-apocalyptic Earth-chan", but it doesn't sound like an interesting idea.
I wanted to improve her, but tragedy struck: I accidentally lost NPC files during game development, and Earth-chan's file was one of them. The artworks above are the final artworks being used as assets in the game, but the original PSD is gone.
But it's not a huge loss for me, I managed to come up with several NPC ideas anyway.
And that's it for the NPC of this month!
Next up: Ads artworks!
They're both banners, often seen above doors of buildings. No-text versions can be found in the images attached to this post.
There will be another $5 Tier post by the end of the month, and like before, it will be another "Proper Pair" fanart card!
