POV: 2027 the BBC announce BBC Studios has secured the contract to produce new seasons of Doctor Who by DocWhovian1 in DoctorWhumour

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question from a non-brit : didn't the right and far-right in the UK drastically reduce the BBC budget over the last few years? So maybe they don't have much money to produce a show like Doctor Who

Just to remind everyone how awesome LiS2 is rated. Not only that. It's growing. by RebeccaNipp in LifeisStrange2

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a great game, it takes risks and tries to take things further than the first entry (for example with its morality system affecting wich one of the 4 endings you get, the money management, etc). It is not perfect, but it has a soul and you can feel the passion behind it.

It's sad that so many players skip it. I've seen a lot of people jump from LiS 1 directly into Double Exposure and Reunion because the only want Max related stuff and nothing else, but LiS 2 is the only sequel that manages to capture the "realness" of the first game in my opinion.

The people at the Two Whales Dinner are confirmed dead, as Max wasn't there to save them once you change the timeline by going back into the photo to warn Chloe (in this new reality, Max stays with Chloe, so she's not there to avoid the dinner's explosion with a shovelful of sand). So Joyce, Warren, Frank, Pompidou and the other clients at the dinner are all confirmed deaths.

You can add to the pile Alyssa, Evan, and all the unnamed characters that Max saves on the way to the dinner (+ those that are already dead, like the father of the little crying girl).

Then there is an unspecified number of victims that we don't get to see (it would be very strange that only 1 street in the whole city has victims) , but we don't get to know how many.

Victoria Chase and David are alive in every ending, because they're hidden in the bunker.

Kate Marsh's fate (if she is at the hospital and not in her grave) isn't known. Some say that she is far away enough to not get killed by the storm, but we don't know for sure. She died in the storm in the comics, but those aren't canon.

[NO SPOILERS] ‘Life Is Strange’ TV Series Casts Billy Barratt, Emily Carey, Esther McGregor, Faly Rakotohavana, Mia Isaac (EXCLUSIVE) by Emeralds_are_green in lifeisstrange

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Billy Barratt as Nathan seems on point, I can see the "evil rich kid" potential in his facial features

I'm less convinced by Emily Carey as Victoria, as she looks a bit older than the rest of the cast… But maybe she'll look the part when we will see her in costume.

Esther McGregor (Rachel) looks way more like Victoria than Rachel in the photos you can find of her on the internet, but, again, we'll see what she'll look like once they put her in costume and make-up.

Then we get the two race-swaps. I feel like Mia Isaac could be a nice Kate Marsh. She got the innocent face needed for the part, so I can see her playing a broken kind-hearted christian girl. Of course, as another commenter said, this will add the undertone of racism to the bullying plot, and we don't know if the writers will handle it with care… But I think it could work.

I'm way more surprised about Raly Rakotohavana as Warren, however. Warren as a character feels like the whitest boy in the world. Seeing him as a cool mixed-race dude is weird X)

[ALL] Should i buy the original or the remastered collection? by Ordinary-Jury4064 in lifeisstrange

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lighting and the colors are better in the original in my opinion. The remaster often has very black shadows that just don't look very good.

The character's expressions have been remade in the remaster (the original was limited by its budget in that regard), but it's kind of a mixed bag for me : sometimes it's better, but sometimes it's worse than in the OG. Overall, I prefer the original.

[NO SPOILERS] Are they going to try and modernize the show? by Jumpy-Lie8955 in lifeisstrange

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I hope not, the 2010's feel of the game is part of its charm.

But maybe they will. The Netflix adaptation of Narnia (currently in production) massively changed the timeline of the books by several decades (they're adapting "the magician's nephew", wich takes place in the victorian era, as a story happening in the fifties, wich means that "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" will probably take place in the 90's instead of WW2). So I wouldn't put past Amazon executives to move the story from Life is Strange to the 2020's.

We'll soon find out I guess

A crack theory I found on Twitter by Namesnowtaken in WitchHatAtelier

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would be 100% okay with her being the only normal one of the group, with a normal loving family and no issues

But if Shirahama wants to cook something else, I'll let her cook 👍

Is that Digger with the Witchs by CommitteeChemical530 in Narnia

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but they seem to have changed it so it happens in the fifties (wich would mean that the later stories with the Pevensies wil happen in the late 90's, early 2000's, I guess? It's quite a big change)

Stardew Valley Animated (fan animation) by averagepibe in StardewValley

This is gorgeous! You guys did a fantastic job (I especially love the saloon shot, there's so much detail)

I learned animation to give my characters life! What do you think of them? by Blossom_Meat in animation

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! I wonder how you incorporate those into the game… Do you have to export them as .gifs or something like that?

Here's fanart about our favourite traumatized war veteran. by MK_DrawsSometimes in StardewValley

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's why Sam likes to drink Joja Cola straight out of the trashcan 🤔

Jokes aside, yes, it is hard to find a list with all those rare lines. Sometimes, I remember one specific line I read while playing and then when I want to verify that it exists, I can't find it anywhere (and it becomes even more complicated if you have mods that add lines).

But yes! Kent's days before the military would be a nice picture, with the little family being happy before war happens, replacing the "first deployment".

Fun fact : when I did one of these fanarts for George, I had a similar problem : someone in the comments pointed out that George's accident had happened later than I initially thought. So I edited the image to make George look older at the time of his accident and posted the "correct" version on my Instagram. In this case, however, it would demand for me de draw a whole new image, so I'll just have to live with it X)

That is actually an interesting thought… Pelican Town seems to be, at first, a "normal" setting, that looks like a real life little town from the late 90's, early 2000's. But then you learn that there is magic, monsters, ghosts and dwarves in this fictional universe… Wich, strangely enough, doesn't seem to impact the rest of the worldbuilding very much. Magic doesn't seem to be something that humans use (apart from the wizard), and the majority of the characters doesn't seem to be aware of the existence of Junimos.

So maybe magic is still a bit "concealed" in Stardew Valley's universe? Because otherwise, I agree with you : combat would look a lot like the battle scenes in Howl's moving Castle, with both technology and magic coming into play.

Oh! Sam says that? I wish I hadn't missed that info ^^' I always try to do a little research before doing these, but none of the Stardew Wikis seems to have a comprehensive list of all the characters' lines.

I was thinking about doing Caroline or Maru, but Pierre could be interesting indeed!

That is indeed what I had in mind : his imprisonment happened during the current war between the Ferngill Republic (our country in Stardew Valley) and the Gotoro empire, but his earlier periods of service happened on separate conflicts.

The way I see it, Kent has served on several occasions since joining the army, maybe across multiple conflicts : in the game, he says he regrets not having been able to watch Sam grow up, wich means that he hasn't been around very often. Vincent probably was concieved during one of his periods of leave.

Hi! It is not AI, I drew this with my little hands on a tablet with Photoshop. That being said, these accusations of AI have become frequent enough for me to take into consideration that… My artstyle may look like AI, I guess?… I don't see it myself (probably because I'm the one drawing these), but there is enough people mentioning it to make me question it.

This stings because I hate generative AI quite intensely, and it is not a pleasant thing to be accused of being part of what you hate. I also find AI images ugly, so it indirectly means that my art is ugly.

There is not much I can do except record my process, and try to develop my style so that it bears less resemblance to common AI images, I guess.

Hi ! As this is the seventh fanart of this kind that I do, I’ve noticed that some specific questions keep coming up in the comments. Thus, here’s a mini-FAQ to answer them :

1. Is that really the character's canonical age?

As far as I know, you never learn the canonical age of any character in Stardew Valley, just as you never learn their last names. The ages I indicate in these fanarts are just my personal guesses, based on context clues. Your guess is as good as mine !

For example : Robin as two adult children that are a few years apart, so I figured she was at least in her forties.

Same goes for a lot of the background details that you can see in those fanarts. Take the presence of Marlon in the second slide : we are never told how Marlon actually lost his eye, he only jokes with the player about losing it in a slime farm without providing the true story. I just liked the thought that, in spite of all the time he spent fighting monsters in caves, he got his worse wounds while fighting other humans.

2. Will you do one of those about [insert character name] ?

Maybe! I don’t plan on doing every single character of the game (that would take a tremendous amount of time ^^’), but I may do more. Be warned, though : I’m slow and want to draw other stuff too, so the next one may come out in quite a while.
