Just wanted to update everyone on PIC's development. We are still in a hiatus, waiting on mod tools development before we will be working on the overhaul again.

In the mean-time, we are actively working on getting a very high-quality Tangle DD1 port finished. Getting very close!

The Dreaming General art is finally finished. Thanks to a returning member of the community, Nemesis.

Animation coming soon:tm:

I thought this one was interesting. One of my better efforts. The color palette more resembles DD2, but the artstyle of DD1. With the bubble not being a pure black... Do you think this is close enough to be Style compliant with DD1? or perhaps the details are too thick.

We now have a VSCode extension for .darkest files. You can find it on my Kofi as a Pay-what-you-want.

I had such an itch to draw more Sprawl assets. Here's my first completed background.

Went a little further on the Wharf-rat.

This time coloring him with picks from DD1(Left) and DD2(Right).

What's better?

A couple art questions, if you have the time.

What do you think are the most common issues with those of us trying to replicate your DD1 Style of art?

Can you share what resolution you drew the sprites in? Most of the communty says 2x base DD art, then downsize in SPINE.

A clip from one of DD's first art streams way back when. I think about what he explains in this clip often while I'm drawing my DD stuff.

It's very cool to go back and redo some of your first art. What an improvement on the Hatchetman.

Very pleased with the outcome of this one. Another Tangle Background.

We’re getting close! Tangle is up for Beta right now on our Disc

The Tangle just got a new coat of paint. I have remade the hallways to really get that nice glow and atmospheric perspective. Now i just need to settle on a tint.

In other news, the Vanilla release of The Tangle is now up for Beta in the discords #wip-mods section.

My enterpretation of Gander, from DD2. We'll see him around the Tangle.

In-Game with Warlord and friends. Still working on the lighting.

@bourassa.bsky.social I've been workin hard trying to learn this style, but I don't think I'll ever match the majesty that is the Crypts or Cove entrances. But you've been one hell of an inspiration to my life. Learned to draw and animate thanks to this game. It's been a dream for me.

PIC will also have very few additions to the monster factions lineup, enough to bolster the faction, but not too much as to disrupt the original idea of the project. They also will be released to Vanilla as a stand-alone.

Here's an Eldritch Oyster I made on a weird motivation day.
