Doriririan Gray

Since everyone wants to see the connections between The Portrait of Dorian Gray and Izaya Orihara even though his favourite quote is from Lady Windermere I decided to keep that in mind while reading the book and my conclusions are:

Dorian Gray: Mikado Ryugamine

Basil Hallward: Masaomi Kida

Lord Henry: Izaya (BECAUSE NEITHER OF THEM EVER SHUT UP)

So this fathers day just gone by was also Masaomi's birthday, and I for one think it's absolutely outrageous that nobody pounced on the idea of Dad Masaomi as like a creative prompt or something.

No I won't do it myself. I meant someone good.

Bachelors are finished!

My digital artist flawlessly made Masaomi look his age in the game (25).

Thank you for your patience and support! ♡

This is another case of "please spread the word" because it's really important.

News regarding art in the game

So I talked to my former digital artist yesterday and she told me that she doesn’t want her art in the game. We were originally going to keep the art style of the demo until day 4 of each bachelor route, but to respect her wishes, the art style will completely change in the full game. 

It’s a bit inconvenient, but we’ll still send her drawn sprites, CGs, and backgrounds to the new digital artist once we get one for reference. At this point, I highly doubt a new digital artist would draw the amount of artwork in the game for free (we might get one for backgrounds and one for sprites and CGs), so we’re probably going to have to pay the artist(s). We’re still pondering over what to do, but we’re considering setting up a Buy Me a Coffee page, but it’s not set in stone yet. However, please note: 

We will not use the donations for anything else but to pay the artist(s) and the game will still be free. Seeing people enjoying the game is all the payment we need. 

Now, this wouldn’t start until the scripts are done. There would be no point in hiring artist(s) just to have them wait around. However, we’re still looking for a manga x anime style for the characters. If the sprite and CG artist finds it easier to draw one more than both, that’s okay too. 

We’ll also be changing Riku, Arabella, and MC’s outfits, along with Riku and MC’s hairstyle. I can’t give spoilers, but they’ll have a more modern look. Their eye shapes, heights, and colors will remain the same though. 

Thank you for reading!

So last week I had a post where I briefly mentioned I might do Ikebukuro Records art or something for the week of Halloween...the chances of that have slimmed. Normally my college has something called a reading week, where everyone gets little to no additional work to catch up on reading assignments and such as well as no classes. However, this year that doesn't seem to be the case, because the college year started late in order for new students to prepare for entry, due to postponed entry exams. So now to catch up, we don't have Halloween off, and we're getting off Christmas late. I have a lot of things to complain about but it's probably best I don't do that, but in conclusion I probably can't do anything special for the holiday. I will try to scrounge up some old drawings I might have lying around but don't expect anything of high quality. People are free to draw their own art or write or ask anything if they wish, but I'll be busy drowning in literature.

Sooooo... fuck Covid19

Bye!

A RETURN TO IKEBUKURO…

It was another day like any other until a young woman learned that her boss had planned a job transfer for her. Her destination? A city in Tokyo, Japan by the name of Ikebukuro.  The city had been blessed with five years of normalcy,  which made more tourists visit.  Her best friend, Arabella Faraldo, was excited to visit such a grand city so she insisted on joining the young journalist on her journey.  Unbeknownst to them, two famous figures known by its occupants through causing destruction have returned to the city.  With a new gang on the rise,  an unhinged informant with a “love” for humanity, supernatural entities and flying vending machines, the young woman’s new job is the least of her worries as a new Ikebukurian!
