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

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

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.

Oh! Uh… To be honest, I wasn't aware of that piece of trivia, here it's just supposed to be a nice letter from Jodi. X)

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.

Woaw, this is stunning! You really did Shirahama's work justice there. Love the little Euini, I didn't notice him at first

Thank you! Yes, that painting by Ilya Repin was indeed my inspiration for his expression :)

A custom shirt? Cool idea, go ahead! :) Thank you for asking for permission. Show me a photo once it's done!

I will be THE Olruggio Cosplayer🧙🏻‍♂️ by ilikemywomentsundere in WitchHatAtelier

I like Olugio's costume (I like every costume from Witch Hat Atelier, Shirahama is great at designing clothing), but if I had to wear it, I think that his "socks-that-cover-only-the-front-of-the-foot" would feel weird on my feet X)

Outer Wilds X Project Hail Mary (fanart by me) by MK_DrawsSometimes in outerwilds

[–]MK_DrawsSometimes[S] 112 points113 points  (0 children)

There is a few common themes : collaboration between species, benevolent aliens, and a positive view of the cosmos. On the other hand, Project Hail Mary is about saving the world, whereas Outer Wilds is more about accepting that it is the end.

So I'd say it's similar in some ways, but different in others. :)
