DAY 11
whew, did a lot of art today. I think I have one more full screen pic to do today and then… just a second pass on the writing, a couple of general touch-ups, and… I’m basically done! Probably going to finish and post the whole thing (on itch.io) on Thursday or Friday.
(pics and especially long rambling under the cut because I’ve been trapped inside all day due to a snowstorm and I need to WORD DUMP)
(might edit the above pictures slightly if the mood strikes me (probably not))
Lots of full screen close up type pics today, I think I did 4 of them in total? I spent a lot of last year learning shortcuts for how to draw faster, but even I’m kinda pleased with how quickly I finished all the full screen art pieces (8 full BG pieces in 2-3 days). They’re maybe… 7/10 on effort, but you gotta make sacrifices when you’re on a deadline I guess? (And also indulging thoughts like ‘look, I’m not going to draw faces on these people because I just don’t fucking feel likelooking at this particular picture anymore’)
Oh but on an unrelated side note, I’ve been re-listening to The Adventure Zone while working on this, and fittingly I’m at the end of the first campaign again just as I finish up this project. I probably listened to something like 30 episodes (about 1.5h each) while working on backgrounds and random buttons and pics so THAT’S a way to track my hours put into this project… :’(
(on an even more unrelated side note, you should listen to the Adventure Zone if you haven’t already. I was just reminded of how good it is because I thought ‘oh I need something to idly listen to in the background while I draw’ and then I listened to 30h+ of podcast because I was too invested to stop listening. on a second playthrough.)
ANYWAYS my goals for the next two days are:
- finish the last full screen pic
- second writing pass
Almost done..!
