Well gang, it's happening again. It was supposed to stop snowing a few hours ago and it most definitely has not. Such is the gamer's demise.

I just realized I never explained what the irl setting of the story is whoops. I think the idea of "post contemporary but not cyberpunk" works well, where technology has advanced to a huge degree but we're not at flying cars level of sci-fi cyberpunk. The game would be played through your average -

As for the guy who actually made the game, I've got a pretty good outline of him so far. Unlike SAO, he actually has a given reason for why he made the game and trapped people in it. He's kind of an incel, and not even in a slightly joking way, he's a fucking loser lmao. He's like if you mixed the-

So, more about the setting/premise for that mmorpg thing. I think the way SAO handled floors and "levels" works well, in concept. SAO never did anything with expressing how different floors could be besides broad themes, mostly since it never showed many of floors in general. We can do better. -

I feel like in terms of how he and his boyfriend took the whole "being stuck in an rpg" thing was surprisingly chillax. Like sure they'd want to get out, but it's not the biggest priority to them. After all they do both adore playing games together and fantasy settings, that and some body image -

Third to last party member and boyfriend to the shaitan monk. I don't have as much worked out for him character wise but in the original incarnation I had for him, he would have acted as a patron for the monk, gifting spells, safe houses, supplies, etc. In this version he's still kind of in that -

So build wise, he's a little different from the other characters in that he's actually based on a 5th edition build I made a long time ago. Very impractical but he was a genie warlock/strength monk purely for the fact I wanted a monk that could later on cast tenser's transformation, a spell I love.-

Fresh from the oven, another party member! This guy's part of a pair, and the only initial romantic relationship on the team. I thought it would be fun to have a cute little queer genie couple that are vaguely based on dnd/pathfinder monsters, that being a Marid and Shaitan, water and earth genies.-

So, actual characterization. When I say "online persona" I definitely mean it in the sense that this character she has has existed for a while and would kinda be what she wants to be, if she had the choice. Plus I can get away with making her the conventionally attractive one by it doing that way.

Third party member freshly made. This one leans more into the direction of "online persona" instead of new character created for the game they're in. She would fill the role of wacky spellcaster/crafter, in that she isn't like a wizard or typical mage, rather she uses in-game spell exploits. Like-

In terms of builds, I imagine he chooses interest over the meta, like he'll have a good build but there's fluff for fun. I think irl he grew up as a gifted child and really got burnt out early on in life, leading to him avoiding responsibility and getting massively into rpg book reading as a hobby.

Got another main character for that rpg story I'm working on, this time doing the tank of the party. So far he's the kind of guy to put on a face of being chill and loose but is one of the more perceptive and intelligent of the party but actively doesn't want more on his plate so he acts dumb.

They weren't fucking joking about the forecast my ass is frigid and stuck actually. So uhh, probably more art dumps coming up if I don't lose power.

Okay so the outline I currently have for this project is similar in concept to SAO, in that there are a ton of players stuck in a fantasy mmorpg, and they have to get to the last dungeon of the server to escape, however instead of fucking off, the creator intermittently all-chats to cause discourse-

Currently this would be one of the main "party members", don't have a name but she's hispanic, really likes monsters, and is one of the players more accustomed to rpgs in the main group I feel. I think it would be neat for her specifically to like making bustedly strong but practical builds.

My brain is dragging me back to the hole where I want to make another story but I only have a vague idea of the plot, setting, premise, but a really clear idea of the characters in it :( Sword art online sucks bad and I want to make a story that pulls from the idea of it and make it something good.

I'm looking at that forecast and my ass is about to get snowgraved

I should probably make the lines darker next time I do this so the smaller details come through better. First look into redesigning an old-ish character of mine, Kalremin, the personification of physical matter, change, and growth as concepts. This is just her being big, she can be small too.

God what was I on back in 2019?? Sometimes I forget I can draw things other than boobs and pretty girls. I really ought to draw Kal body horror again, she's the one I draw the least of my big three blorbos. #traditionalart #oc

Man adding that choker has added so much to the look my GOD. If it isn't obvious already, Monika is absolutely my favorite of the dokis. I am unfortunately a sucker for brown hair, green eyes, and severe depression. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

I feel like Monika is either all white or all black with accessories, but also that might just be a trope I am projecting but also I'm the one driving this car and I will NOT be turning it around. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Late night Monika and mini Monika doodle to get back into the swing of things. Also WOW I got the colors just right on her eyes, she is HOT. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

I miss this series so much ;-;

Oh wow that Sayori tweet blew up a little hi hello new people. Funny time to join because it's gonna take a few days for me to get back to art stuffs. Anyways feel free to suggest stuff to draw, even if I don't get around to it it's at least nice to have options to choose from what people want!

Just wanted to doodle a few more Sayori's before I pass out for a day or two. In a positive way that is. We'll see what I draw next once I return to consciousness. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

I headcanon that she had a passing interest in ballet since she was younger but depressed herself out of it in her teen years. I like the idea that she just busts some of it out every now and again just to be silly in adulthood though. Sounds on brand for Sayori. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Why do legs have to be one of the easiest things to draw until they fold, then becoming unknowable, esoteric mysteries?? Either that or I am very stupid. Which is on the table as an option at any given time really. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

I found some cool photos on Twitter so I figured I could use a break from drawing pseudo comics to get some studies in. I also wanted to draw Sayori's fat ass so win-win all in all. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Bring it on 🪫

Now I'm not one to get super feral over my own art that much but this page is so goddamn hot to me and I need to bite something or someone. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

That feeling of wanting to redo your whole style because you aren't fully satisfied with how your more recent art is coming out but you can't because you're in the middle of a DDLC comic and don't want to fuck it up by switching to something that hasn't been tested and also work is kicking you bad.

Insane exhaustion aside, I'm enjoying this whole thing. It's been nice coming up with a scenario for Yuri and Natsuki. Got a few couple pages in me before I close it down, but I'll still absolutely be drawing them after, just not in the context of this little comic. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

its MY art and i get to draw self insert dubcon with characters i like

This took me way longer than the others but only by technicality, since I started it about 3-4 days ago and only just now got to finish it up. All in all I adore this page a lot, I think I knocked it out of the park with this comeback. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Also I swear I'm getting back to my art, I just need a second. My body is being rather hateful to me right now.

I am only 23 years old WHY IS HEARTBURN ATTACKING ME (image related)

wei!

This is probably the most I've put on a page for this little series but it was definitely worth it. Though I do wish I could draw Natsuki's face consistently lol, that would be nice. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

As it turns out, it's very fun to draw wang from this angle, though I wasn't able to make it look enough like it was pressing against Natsuki's cheek as much as I wanted it to. Either way it be how it do. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

This one actually ended up pretty different from it's draft sketch, but it was a change for the better since I got to make it a little faster than anticipated. Also I had drawn that towel on Yuri's head so much I genuinely forgot how to draw her hair for a second lol. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Ah, alas, now we get into the meat and potatoes of this endeavor. Took longer to get to drawing Yuri's bahonkers but it is very well and worth it. Been terribly exhausted for no good reason so I might be slow with these for a second, but I do plan on finishing this. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

A lot of text in this one that I wasn't expecting, also wasn't expecting to draw Yuri with a towel on her head nearly as much as I ended up doing lmao. That's what I get for drafting these one at a time I guess. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Here comes a part two real early (mid day 🫠) that I didn't want to post at the ass crack of dawn this morning. Just to make it clear, this is before Nat would know Yuri is trans, but not before any interest forms. I imagine she just figured Yuri was cis at this point. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Revving up another line of doodles for personal and public enjoyment, focusing on the idea of what their first intimate interaction might have been like. As a big fan of casual carnal cavalcades, this would be before any official romantic relationships were established. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Wiggly paint is on mobile now!!! Here’s some doodles from me messing around with it #wigglypaint #mongymonday #mongymondayfanart

After drawing Sayori I got really into drawing the rest of the club. So behold, Yuri and Natsuki! Side note, I am very happy with how I drew them this time around, the new little itty bitty details I've added recently have worked out wonderfully. #traditionalart #nsfw #DDLC

Wanted to change up how I drew Yuri going forward, since her hair was kind of just thrown together because I suck at drawing it how it actually is in the game. Plus I wanted to give her a natural hair color and make it fluffier. #traditionalart #DDLC
