For anything, for anytime:

Indignation overextends
ironically only begetting more indignation for opposite extremes

Then, attempts to discern context and find solutions get oppressed by BOTH extremes

Please avoid being brash; accentuating such cycles
Let's listen to each other, not shallow labels

Riley Reese Ryanne- @mellymellouange.bsky.social's

A 3.5 years later remaster!
Roughly the same poses, but modern(?) designs and reconsidered spatially

I tried a right hand ✌️sign for Ryanne, but I couldn't get it right, so had her lean on the bubble instead

I usually defaulted to drawing the waist size scaled around 1.5 "heads"/"blocks" for other characters.

But it was usually too big (this image included), so the default conversion base became 1 "head"/"block" after this.

Reposting Kittfishy's amazing art of Agapae again!

I still like these animations.
When I return to these, I don't think I'll change much.

Her game got 'backlogged' around the order of components to be added to a tile editor. I was using and improving the tile editor through other projects first.
(I'm definitely still keeping the flat colours).

Agapae

I grouped together animations of her losing balance ('unstable' and 'predicted/recurring').

I struggled to pose her for the last 3 (the last one was a 2023 retry). Partly her mouth.

Agapae

Between the last GIF and this, I coloured and shaded, but I hadn't drawn digitally from scratch.

This was kind of a 'recalibration' doodle, so it's a little inaccurate for Agapae.
I also messed around with thicker outlines and "painted" light patches.

I feel like I've come full circle by uploading this. ^.^
Let's continue!

Taking advantage of the fact Bluesky turns transparency white anyway, I gave it a background based on how Plum's shading was coloured.

I had a lot of fun with the lighting.
I tried being more conservative with the 'shaded' regions, to see if it would look nicer.

I say shading, but it's erasing patches of light into a dark layer.
