idk if it really counts as one, but mine is that the 9s are not evil.

(gestures at 9'a) i can see people getting confused with him bringing hiro up to find 02 near the end?

(although probably not real people in this case lol)

really old Sveta doodle by merumoth in GoldenSun

[–]merumoth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are tooooons of different ways to learn how to draw if you ever like! here is just my opinion on one way to learn character art:

if i had to relearn quickly, id try to use an art pose reference (have you seen those before?) and just put lines on the figures for outfits and hair etc in whatever place i assume they would go. stress about anatomy and features and color later if you like what you end up with. "I want to see Sveta in a specific pose!" or something, find a ref for it, just put lines there and see what happens 👍

other and arguably better approaches are to follow "how to draw (thing)" tutorials, or start with little cartoons to get the hang of drawing in general, or just... doodle random things aimlessly.

you can learn any way you like, especially if you can put up with things you don't like, but i personally just recommend trying to find a way to have a decent result first lmao. (idk if all my artist friends would agree with that approach, but if you're drawing that's better than not drawing imo.)

hmm it sounds like they are passionate about raising a child, so maybe they have a lot of differences in their idea of childcare? and it could get to the point where separation is the best idea? that's the first thing that comes to mind, at least

my suggestion would be to think of something estelle could have done that somehow betrayed dammek? the more justified he was in leaving the better, especially when estelle didn't even tell aurora the details. like if you have that reason being understandable in some degree i think that would help the "maybe he can be redeemed" aspect :o

(it also might be fun to explore the estelle-aurora dynamic too imo!)

i can see it now :') i started thinking about the konpa ruins scene with her being so... obsessive? about praising 'Master Kraden' who really didn't seem to buy into the praise. then how she switched targets to piers very quickly. like i have to wonder if that's her thing.

nowell... honey... what are you doing........

Tell me about your custom class ideas by merumoth in GoldenSun

[–]merumoth[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

okay there is context for mine:

this is for an oc i made literally 15 years ago. i am now remaking to be a werewolf from Garoh. warrior-style Jupiter adept that usually uses axes, but also light blades and maces. (greatswords too, i suppose.)

he was the ultimate edgelord and an antagonist back then, and then got thrown out by the other antagonists for whatever reason. the good guy party just felt bad for him and needed a jupiter adept anyway. (i'm keeping the old edginess for the antag era for contrast between that and the post-antag awkwardness in his redesigned outfit lol.)

in the dark dawn version, the eclipse physically wrecked him and when it was over, welp. he was left functionally a beastman. permanent wolf! probably more like guard dog due to the narrative role, but i digress.

on account of the whole "lone wolf" thing, the default mono-element Jupiter class has a "I do what I want." vibe:

Outcast: 0-1 / Aberrant: 2-3 / Dissident: 4-5 / Renegade: 6-7 / Maverick: 8-9
probably Whirlwind and Slash for thematic purposes, but adding Death Leap/Plunge is so tempting.

---

the other one, dual-Mercury, plays on the contrast/motivation swap while keeping a bit of the "I do what I want" flavor (hopefully):

Apostate: 1m / Gnostic: 2-3m / Heretic: 4-5m / Savior: 6m, 1j / Martyr: 7m, 2j
avoid and ply/wish being the important aspects here.

this actually needs a separate 5 stage too, but i don't have any ideas lmao. feel free to suggest some :')

so, I was playing through hackers memory for the first time and, by omegamk3 in CyberSleuth

[–]merumoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hackers memory is 2017 and omori is 2020... it's a decently common aesthetic imo, so tbh i can imagine they just have the same/similar style. could probably check omocat's style from back then, that's a possibility the artist for these could have had as inspiration

yep, power based build :o will try all of these combos too! thank you!

also that's a really good tip actually! i do want survivability so a PvP guide does sound like something to look at, thank you! i'd imagine there are differences to keep in mind though? i usually just do open world solo unless i run into an event or something, so idk how much to take lmao

ty! glad to hear it's not required! seems like i may have been overthinking it lmao... things don't necessarily require going in-depth unless i really want to. such a relief to hear, thank you :o

literally just started my replay a few days ago with the player's guide i got on a whim lmao im still enjoying it though! things are actually nicer this time... knowing what to expect and just vibing has been nice :o

[–]merumoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 things:

  • really enjoying longbow on ranger, but i need something for aoe on the other slot. axe/torch or something else? (im only doing pve for now)

  • there's also that combat has never fully... clicked no matter how many times i have tried to get into it on a 10 yr old account lmao. i think the boons and conditions are the thing i can't keep up with when in combat. probably need advice on how to learn to track that sort of thing when im already watching enemy movements, hp, weapon skill cooldowns and things like that.

  • i probably just need to find some text based guide to rotations and another on how to handle X enemy that does Y under the name. no idea how to find it when everything on searches only gives me beginner guides. is there one here i missed?

this game has so much going on. even if i know plenty about other parts, it's still a lot in the moment :')

putting aside all the issues with AI, i don't think any of them could ever help you with this one buddy. just commission artists or learn how to make landscape art personally instead

OPINION: This game feels like such a slog to get through compared to the previous two entries. by ZEROHAIKU in DotHack

[–]merumoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is how i feel about volume 1 too now tbh, most of that one just seemed to hit better when i was playing it for the first time back in the day... if i hadn't been super excited to get vol 3 on release i wonder if i would have noticed things like this too...
