A hermit with a secret exclusive item shop that refuses the common currency and favors a rare one instead. Some items are junk and some are treasure... you simply have to figure it out before buying. No refunds! #art #sketch #conceptart #originalcharacter #oc #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indie

A sketchy drawing done with red pencil on a white background. There is a sun in the upper left hand side that says "the literal sun that will kill you I stfg Icarus don't do it". To the right is assumingly Icarus (a Shady Shoals npc not the actual man from myth) with an extremely smug smile, single raise eyebrow, and two hands together in front of them with the fingertips touching as if scheming something devious. Which they are. Next to Icarus is the text "can't read" along with an arrow pointing at them.

This fella is based on stoplight loosejaw fish so I thought... Why not have them help with traffic! Not like cars really exist on the island... but behind that scary smile they have the best of intentions! Surely... #art #sketch #conceptart #originalcharacter #oc #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indie

A very important character has been added! A funeral director always in mourning... except they're not actually mourning anyone. Yet.

Black pencil sketch on a white background. There is a full bodied elegant woman wearing a Victorian era dress and hat. The hat is very round and oversized with an outward flared brim. The hat is adorned with three roses, a mini skull, ribbons, and a single full fluffy feather. The hat has two veils. A short frilly one that goes barely past the figure's nose and a second one that is elegant and flowing down to the hips. It is clear there is a semi transparent undershirt of some kind to what would otherwise be a low cut dress. Due to the transparency of the veils most of the figure can still be seen such as the frilled collar, puffy frilled shoulder length sleeves, and the spikes on the straps of their dress. There is a large rose pinned to their stomach with a leaf hugging each side of their hips. Spikes are also on the hips like a belt. The front of the dress has rows upon rows of ruffles cascading down like a waterfall while the side are smooth and flowing even flaring out strongly at the bottom with fluffy feathers at the end like a silk robe. The back of the dress is a flat round train which contrasts well with the flashy front. A single hand is outstretched with a glove one. The glove is in two parts. One part starts tight above the elbow with a rose charm that also has three spikes. It stays form fitting until the wrist where it flares out into a long draping sleeve. The inside texture is smooth with some faint lines implying the texture of either a feather or leaf. The second glove is over the hand and has two small spikes above the wrist and a single crescent spike right below the knuckles. Their hair twirls behind them like thick ribbons as their eye from their sideways glance peers over the brim of their hat. The same as the first image but without the hat or veil. The face can be seen better and it is of a highly refined older person. Crows feet and laugh lines along with some drooping jowls decorate the well aged elegant face. Their ear has a dangling earing with a mini skull. It can be better seen how one of their ribbon like locks of hair curls over their outstretched arm like a tentacle. Their expression is smug with the slightest hint of a smile. The side parted hair drapes well around their face in elegant arches and a single stray strand halo-ing near their forehead.

Here is one of the mini bosses I have planned! It lives by a volcano near the sea vents. It's a tubeworm hydra <33
#art #sketch #conceptart #originalcharacter #oc #gamedev
The drawing is red pencil on a white background. There is a dragon like creature depicted in the drawing. The body and claws are made of rough rocks that are connected to the ground. Erupting even from it. The four heads are on slender long thing necks textured as if made of endless rings. Each heads has a large toothless mouth like two oversize petals that are pitch black inside. The inside of the mouth holds a single large staring eye. Three of the heads are looking to the side and slightly down as if at the player who is off screen. The head most to the left is looking more upwards as if staring down it's own duplicate heads.

A little lad inspired by the immoral jellyfish. They have seen far too much and they are so so very tired. And yet they know how important it is to stay comfy. #art #originalcharacter #sketch #oc
It is a red pencil drawing on a white background. A tall lanky figure is in a sweater so oversized the bottom of it goes down to their ankles and the sleeves go so far past their hands they dangle past the hips despite their hands being raised. Both of their shoulders peek over the neckline of the sweater which is baggy and plush. The sweater has a design of thin lines reaching up from the bottom helm and down from the arms to the wrist. Over their chest is a design of two hearts. Their hair is incredibly thing and wispy in every direction. Their oval shaped head is tilted to the side as they are looking over their shoulder. They are wearing a large beanie that is pulled so far down that the brim is parallel to the very top of their eyes. The hat is round and egg shaped over the head with a design of two circles in the center of it.

Had a ton of fun with this character! Ender Forest was an absolute delight to draw. Plus I have a soft spot for this kind of character design :>

Say hello to the #clown shopkeeper! They will be the first shop keeper you meet but certainly not the last! Part clown, part knife, all silly! They'll buy all your useless trash and happily sell you some slightly less useless trash in return! Hope you like them :> #art #oc #originalcharacter #sketch
A sketchy drawing made with red pencil on a white background. A figure with clown makeup is giving a wide open mouth smile revealing two fangs. A hand hovers below their mouth palm towards the viewer in a dainty way or perhaps as if waving them over. Pom poms adore their outfit up the arm and at the base of their suspenders. Their outfit is divided into fourths. The upper left and lower right are blank. While the lower left and upper right have a crowded dot pattern. Only a single eye can be seen and part of a tilted party hat due to having a cloak draped over them. The single eye is staring at the viewer. The cloak covers half of their face and most of their body. One arm entirely hidden. The cloak is blank except for three large distinct dots in a row near the base. The same character as before except without the cloak half covering them. This allows the ruffles around their neck to be seen. They are also bald. One hand with pom poms trailing up it is facing towards the viewer downwards. The other hand is held upright palm facing the viewer. Their thumb is against their forehead signing out the word "father" in American sign language. They are doing a silly post. Their party hat is fully upright it has large dots and a pom pom on top. They have a partly open mouth smile that reveals their two fangs. They are looking vaguely at the viewer while winking. The text next to them reads "WELL you see my mother was a CLOWN and my father was a KNIFE"

One of the sea beasts that you can find and fight in the ocean depths of the game! #monster #seamonster #art #originalart
It is a sketchy drawing made with red pencil on a white background. The drawing is an octopus in the shape of a horse. It has an elongated open beak to make a snout. The eyes have long horizontal pupils. The ears are two rounded flipper like fins. There is the bulge of the head hanging down the back of their neck. Tentacles are spread out in all directions where the mane and tail should be. The body is made of tightly coiled tentacles. Four of the tentacles, two in the front and two in the back, clearly stray out to form legs that clearly have no bones. Near the tip of the tentacle like legs is modified suction cups that look like hooves.

The player character holding Albi the albatross your new best friend! #art #oc #sketch
There is a drawing that looks like red pencil on a white background. There a scuba diver with a diving mask on. The shadow of the mask is pitch black over the eyes. A single white dot for the eye and a downturned white eyebrow makes the character look frustrated. There is a starfish over the other eye and kelp draping down from their head and wrapped around one of their legs. They are holding a large albatross in their arms who has their eyes closed and head held up high and smug. The side eye from the diver is clearly directed towards the proud bird.

Say hello to Fish (the cat)! Of course you can pet the #cat in this game! Enjoy the #meme redraw of this lad
The text above asks "Will you pet the cat?" There is a countless number of white "yes" displayed beneath the boxed question. Above the text is a black cat with a white pattern over their face, chest, and paws along with having a red tail with black stripes. The cat also has long whiskers and closed eyes. A black gloved hand is petting them as the cat is clearly enjoying it by pressing their head upward into it. The cat has red outlines and the hand has dark blue outlines. This pose is referencing a meme of a cat being happily pet. A meme of a light orange tabby cat being pet on top of their head very happily. The cat is pushing their head upward against the person's hand with squinting eyes and what looks to be a big smile. The image is slightly blurred to show how excitably the cat is getting pets.

A meme of a man sitting with his hands slightly raised and fingertips touching. He is in a suit and looking directly at the viewer with eagerness. There is the text "trader offer" at the very top. The text below it is as follows- I receive: your love and support as a community. You receive: a fun new cozy island adventure game with delicious meals to cook, monsters to hunt, villagers to befriend, and a town to rebuild
