working on client mods for Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced 🌈🧜🏽‍♀️🗣️⚙️✨
A girl sits, looking forlorn. Her hair is long and straight, ending at her hips. It looks white but has some holographic sections that are green, pink, yellow, and blue. Her ears are finned at the ends. Patches of multicoloured, shimmering scales form a line over her cheek bones and the bridge of her nose. Scales also appear on her shoulders and right arm. Her left arm is covered by a glove that ends just below her armpit. She's otherwise wearing a crop top with a puffy right sleeve and long, high-waisted pants that have a cutout over the hip. All her clothing is white, and there are a few pale purple accents on her sleeve. The clasp on her pants is orange. Finally, she's wearing hoop earrings, a bracelet on her left arm, and a chocker--all of which are chunky and dark purple.

The text is over an image of a concrete wall with tubes going across and coming out of it. Some foliage can be seen in the top left corner. In the centre, is a masculine-presenting character (they're standing in front of the wall). He looks into the camera and seems serious and a bit somber. His skin is brown, and his hair is black and curly. He has an earpiece on his right ear and wears a vest over a turtleneck.

various game characters (t-rex, bug, robot, teddy bear, action hero, bat, penguin, rocket ship, etc.) in different art styles move towards the horizon. text on screen reads "5-11 May" and "indie assemble" -- the letters are each in cubes which are at various heights. (ex. the ufo is lifting the N in "indie" and a crane is lifting the E in "assemble.") the letters are also in various fonts.

progress work for the background of Winnie's shop in Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced!

there's still a few tweaks left to be finished, but I'm obsessed with all the new parts for sale that are now in the illustration 💛
A background image depicting a street corner. The left side doesn't have a lot notable, but the right shows a small store front with two chairs in front of it. Strange parts are displayed on pipes to the left of the door and behind glass on its right. The door made of plastic strips hanging in the doorframe. Some kind of computer is visible on a small table to the left of the door. A metal frame comes out above the door and is help up by poles just past the chairs. Two characters sit in front of the background. The one on the left looks nervous and the one on the right looks confident. The one on the right is saying, "This is my shop and my word is final. Sometimes people just need a friendly reminder of that." The same image as before but with different lighting and new items in fame. Several lamps and signs have been added around the scene. Additionally, more parts can be seen in front of the store. There is a new carousel that holds different organs and mechanical bits in small bags to the left of the door, and another shelf behind the window to the right of the door has been filled in with parts the store is selling. The upmost pipe to the left of the door now has some parts hanging from it as well. Graffiti and text on the signs have been added around the scene. The same two characters are sitting in front of the shop. The one on the left is smiling and the one on the right looks like they're teasing. The one on the left is saying, "That's me, yeah."

They're sitting outside a junk shop and various mechanical parts can be seen on outdoor shelves and in the window. Jin is looking awkward and a bit apologetic. Winnie looks confident and a bit sarcastic. Winnie is saying, "This is my shop and my word is final. Sometimes people just need a friendly reminder of that."

we did a scaling check of all the characters made so far for QDRP -- here's the group photo 🌟
(we picked random expressions so they don't really make sense together, but please let me know your version of what happened for them to look like that haha)
Seven drawn characters are seated in front of a black background. From left to right, the characters look friendly, suspicious, uncertain, sad, surprised, gleeful, and angry. There is a a drawing of a rabbit tucked between the sixth and seventh characters.

some art of one of my favourite characters in QDRP, Sol ☀️
An illustration of a seated character. She is feminine-presenting. She's leaning forward slightly and her hands are in her lap. She is smiling and looks pleased. An illustration of a seated character. She is feminine-presenting. She is seated with her legs crossed and her hands across her lap. Her expression is judgemental and incredulous.

completed sprite for our newest character 🌟
Character art of a female-presenting person of colour. Her hair is chin-length and curly. It's held off her face by goggles that sit on top of her head. The goggles have magnification lenses attached on the right side. The character is looking forward. They have some scar tissue around their left eye. Her expression is neutral and focused. They are seated and leaning back with their left calf crossed over their right knee. Her right arm is holding her left shin and her left arm is resting in her lap. The character's only jewelry is a silver necklace. A tattoo of a snake on their right arm is peaking out from beneath their pushed up jacket sleeve. The jacket is puffy with extra pockets on the sleeves. The sleeves are pushed up to the elbow. The jacket is dark grey with orange accents on the pockets. Beneath the jacket is a striped beige top. The shirt is tucked into dark grey pants that are a bit loose. The character also wears a skirt that's belted at the waist. The skirt is entirely open at the front and hangs down around their hips due to how the character is sitting. The skirt has pockets going down its sides.

new background in progress 🌟
A sketch of a street corner. On the left side of the corner, there's an open doorway with a shelf-like panel above it. On the right side is a shop. Tables and bins are placed on the street outside the shop's open door. Panels and displays hang off the wall. Down the road, a bit further to the right, is a closed garage door. The lines of the sketch are messy and overlap in man places. Bolder lines outline key items (such as the tables, doors, panels) which are colour blocked to help differentiate them. The colours are purple, green, yellow, orange, and brown. The rest of the image is white, light grey, or dark grey.

some early concept art for a new character!
Concept sketches for a female-presenting cyberpunk character. They are female/androgynous-presenting. Their hair is closely buzzed to their scalp. They have goggles that are pulled up to frame their face. One hoop earring dangles from their right ear. They're wearing an open baggy jacket, pulled up to the elbow. Beneath it is a ribbed, copped top. They wear dark pants beneath an open skirt with pockets and pouched down each side. In the left pose, the character has their legs open and is leaning back, comfortably. In the right pose, their arms are crossed and they're leaning forward more directly.

if you haven't tried our game demo, we recently added an update with this freaky lil man (see on right)

you can play it for zero dollars, downloaded or in-browser, here zorkie.itch.io/qdrp
Two characters sit facing each other in a minimalist white and grey room. There's a bamboo tree in one corner. The character on the left is male-presenting and Black. They're wearing a yellow turtleneck beneath a blue and white sweater. The one on the right is male-presenting and East Asian. He is wearing a blue suit jacket with a white, low cut vest and white pants. The one on the left looks concerned. The one on the right looks pleased/satisfied. There's a text box along the bottom of the screen. The text in it reads, "Baron: We're trying to bring joy into the world."
