As you can see, comparing those three old thinking poses with these new ones is a real night and day difference. Shiori has gotten more detailed, and the goofier more mischievous and highly animated aspect of her personality shines through more with the new art.

Just as a heads up- we won't have a Patreon Update up for you this month due to unexpected personal busy-ness. We'll make up for it with something more major coming in the autumn months. Thank you for your patience everyone. In the meantime have some bonus Shiori art showing changes in her design.

Here is a more direct comparison of how Shiori used to appear compared to her updated look. You'll notice how much she is more in-line with the quality of the portraits we have designed for the game since.

Old art of Shiori Sumisu versus the new and improved art

Shiori in various poses showing off her new expressions

New art of Shiori in the same Ice Cream Shop, displayed beside art of Mrs. Fisch by comparison. Shiori no longer looks out of place with the rest of the game's art.

This update covers a lot of the changes we're making to our game as we continue development. In the post I detail how three things are going to be improved in the game's writing.
1) The Conflicts
2) The Pacing
3) The Maturity Level
We hope that you enjoy reading through. More updates to come soon!

Angewomon from Digimon and Angel from Shin Megami Tensei because I have a soft spot for beautiful blindfolded angel babes with suspiciously suggestive designs. 💞

I actually do use this function in conjunction with the grid feature to assemble and arrange engine-ready spritesheet pngs from the individual frames.

Sup. #portfolioday is here.

My name is Fizzix, I make a VARIETY of arts in various mediums.

Big into 3d.
Love painting.
I make emotes and stream assets.
I'm sucker for design work.

4 static images doesn't really put me in the right box but it is what it is.

It's #portfolioday again and most of my work is tied to projects I can't show, so:

Hey! I'm Butz and I animate pixels and design characters!

I enjoy uh, scifi, horror, cooking, and late night calls where I start to twirl up the phone cord with my finger during the conversation

Character sheet for Rhea, a goblin with visible augments and wields a very large, mechanical axe

A design for the egg shaped robot Northstar with Esmeralda standing side by side with it, giving it a bit of scale.
