So.
Wait...*ahem*
So! Remember the time I first drew Erie?
Yeah I did say I had to redesign it, just like mrdrnose did for the last 13 times.* As soon as I drew that, I knew it was going to look terribly out of proportion as soon as you looked at it from another angle - or even just the front. I mean look. Anyway, I redesigned it, and it looks much better now. Can't believe it took me this long to notice how she has two claws on her right hand, not three. Oh and by the way, I didn't actually take that long to do it. I just had a lot of things to do. This endeavour started, like, what? 4 months ago?
yeah im a person of consistency. Oh, and you do NOT want to see what it looks like against an unclarified background.
Anyway, there's something I want to talk about quick. I've started to notice that Erie's quite an out-of-place character in AEWVS for three reasons:
- Erie doesn't like Viktor, despite him, Erie and/or Helpscreen seemingly representing mrdrnose in some way. Kinda wanna know if some of them do.
- Being a librarian just doesn't suit her. She may have a librarian job, but it's clearly a pain and also something totally not her niche. I mean, she doesn't even read any of the books. And no matter what book you give her, she shreds it anyway. Why can't she just shred all the books at the library herself?
- If you've seen mrdrnose's Twitter or social media where he does random stuff about Erie redesigning herself and doing random things post-game, you'll see how casual, and, dare I say, unsuitable for a horror game she is. (I don't even remember the way I was going to say it to begin with but there. This is my main point.) She's not scary or terrified or anything. She's just an angry robot that chokes you with her claws, demands you around and then swears at you once she's done with you.
Now that Erie's already in AEWVS and established connections with Phonty, Alice and some others, the game just wouldn't be the same without her. She needs to get more involved or do something that's actually scary or sad, or at least have darker secrets or an unsettling journal in her room. Also another point I couldn't think of any way to say properly.
I still have some questions (not just about your random choices I want to be endarkened** about, mostly about all the redesigns and other odd things), but you know what? I think I'll just wait for you to get back to me.
So...um. Bye!
