TRIGGER HAPPY HAVOC CHARACTER TIER LIST (heavy spoilers) (very long)

    ✦ SPOILER WARNING: Heavy spoilers for the entire game!!! ✦

    Hello again dear blog, so after my previous posts I kinda realized that I really enjoy writing walls of texts and just blabbering about whatever’s on my mind, so it might be possible I turn this blog into not only an artwork gallery, but a personal diary as well! (Although not as personal as an actual diary). So for today’s post, behold! A Danganronpa character tier list and my personal thoughts on each and every one of them! Because my Dangan fever has not gone down just yet. Furthermore, it’s been a while since I’ve played the first game, so my memory is a bit hazy.

    Before we start I would like to say that I ADORE EVERYONE!! I love every single character and I see a bit of myself in every single one, so just because one is lower than the other doesn’t really mean I don’t like them, heck even the ones I have bad opinions on I like them to a certain extent. I think everybody deserves to be loved and appreciated!

    Also, since I didn't want this post to just be a loooong wall of text, I drew custom icons for the entire gang! So even if you don't want to read the content you can at least look at the pretty pictures :> Tho I got as bit lazy near the end

    So without further a do! Here we go!

    ✦ Kiyotaka Ishimaru

    Taka Taka Taka. The last time I felt so depressed over a fictional character’s death was in Devilman Crybaby back in 2019. I still remember going through the investigation and class trial with tears on my face, and sometimes I felt so bad I had to pause for a few minutes. That night I went to bed feeling nothing but denial. Very funny considering I thought he was gonna be one of my least favorites for interrupting my convo with Sayaka in the prologue (still mad about that, bro got no manners smh)

    Before anything, let’s talk design. One of my favorites in the game, the black (which is actually more of a deep shade of purple) and white combo with red and gold as accent colors and the color distribution is simply perfect. His uniform is entirely white, but thanks to the knee-high boots his appearance is not totally overwhelmed by white. Also, his hair is the same color as his boots, so black is present on both ends (top and bottom!). Man I love that they’re the same colorrrrrrr I just think it unites everything so welllllll.

    And those big piercing red eyes, soooo intense! Red is naturally a very eye-catching color, and adding to the fact the eyes are so big just increases the “drawn to them” factor. Big eyes usually are a visual way to represent youth and innocence as well, very fitting for him I should say (although almost everyone has big eyes in this franchise so It’s not a very unique argument lol). Taka’s eyes are drawn differently than everyone else’s too! Target logo looking-ass eyes.

    Okay, what I might say right now may be reaching, but Taka has red and white just like the colors of the Japan flag! A real patriot wears the colors of their country (yeah I know this is total bs because other characters have white/red too but I just needed to throw that out lol).

    By the way I suffer from this Mandela effect where I imagine Taka wearing white gloves, I know he doesn’t wear gloves, but my mind simply refuses to not include them.

    Now that design talk is over, let’s talk character. Talk about writing a character arc that went absolutely nowhere. I mean, why make poor Taka-chan go through a depressive state after chapter 2, “heal”, or “re-waken” (honestly it was more like falling deep in denial) as Kiyondo on chapter 3 just to die later???? To make me suffer??? Cuz if yes it worked I suffered a lot thanks game. Such useless and waste of potential.

CRINGETOBER 2023 (Unfinished)

     Hello again dear blog! So yesterday I was cleaning my tablet's internal storage, deleting files etc. and I've stumbled upon this collection of drawings that I've made last year.

    I remember trying to complete this challenge but since I had jumped on the bandwagon a little too late I wasn't able to complete by the end of October, so I got demotivated and never finished all the prompts. Well I didn't want to simply delete all these drawings, so I thought might as well post them here.

    1# HETEROCHROMIA: Well since this is a cringe list, I've decided to go back to my roots and draw my OCs in most of the prompts! Some very old ones in fact... This girl is Sagaisdashi (incredible name Ik), she's like this tomboy magical girl who's always looking for trouble lol. I created her when I was in middle school.

    2# SELF INSERT: OFF is probably my favorite game of all time, when when I was younger I used to draw myself in the OFF universe! With the same long black jacket lol.

    3# UNNECESSARILY COMPLEX FIT: Ah the prompt I put the most effort in. This is Eduart, one of my very first human OCs ever, I think I made him when I was like, 10? 12? He's this tsundere closeted gay rich kid who tries to act tough but is actually a cinnamon roll.

    4# ANGEL X DEMON: Ryo x Akira of course, I had this huge Devilman phase back in 2019, so when I saw this prompt I knew I had to draw them lol. Might be my fav prompt.

"MORTIS - Faith fan animation" CREATION PROCESS

    Okay so for my second official post ever, I've decided to talk about my most popular Youtube video! It's a fan animation of the game Faith: The Unholy Trinity that I made for my animation class in college.

    The teacher allowed us to make an animation about anything, as long as it was animated (obviously, duhh) in any way and between 1 minute to 1:30, the deadline was 2 months. At the beginning my two ideas were either this or a small illustrated documentary about the KATU exploding whale that happened in 1970, very random I know XDDDDD I just thought it would be funny LOL.

    I ended up choosing the Faith animation, and the 3 reasons I decided Faith was:

1. I was in my Faith phase at the time, watching multiple gameplays etc;
2. The story from the first installment was simple enough to fit the one minute mark - priest enters abandoned house, encounters ghost, dies - Simple, fast, easy;
3. The style: The game has a very simple yet distinct style, thanks to the lack of details I could draw more frames for a smooth motion and make good looking scenery quite fast.

HEAVY METAL LOVER MEME

    FIRST EVER OFFICIAL POST!!!

    For this special occasion I would like to share my brand new animation, since I'm still in my Danganronpa phase, I made a Junko animation lol.

    This year in college we're having After Effects classes, and it's been loads of fun! There's so much you can do like wow omg. So I decided to make this more to get familiar with the program, so it's not as polished as it would be if this was a more important project, took me around two weeks to finish it, plus with satisfied as is.

    Wow this is like, my first actually well-put-together animation meme! I've been watching animation memes since I was a kid and always wanted to make one, I mean, I did make two in the past, when I first got my Wacom tablet and started getting into digital drawing, but that was, what, 5 years ago??? Wow it was a long time alright, I also didn't have any fancy editing software aside Windows Movie Maker XDDD.
