Hey everyone,
I'm sorry about the prolonged silence - a month goes by quicker than I imagined. However, work is still underway on the next episode. I've made good progress with art and the last couple of days have been spent with reworking Sunny's new sprite. Since she's to get a wardrobe update this episode (just a dress she might wear every now and then), I figured her sprite will have to get a rework first if I am to be efficient. Here's a sketch of the whole thing -
Red dude is the protagonist for height comparison - this should put Sunny at some 150-155cm with the protagonist around some 175-180cm. I played around with making her shorter, but I had a hard time making her proportions work and not going full SHORTSTACK mode.
Comparing the old sprite and the new sprite, there isn't much actual difference in terms of height - though the new one does make her look a tiny bit shorter because she had disproportionately long legs in the old one. Or something, I don't know - there was a lot wrong with the old sprite, honestly.
My plan is to have various different poses, but since we're short on time, for next episode I will focus primarily on replacing the old sprite with a new "default pose" and then make additional poses in future episodes that are used to add a bit of variety.
Though what you see above is just the original sketch, my work on the sprite is about 70-80% finished. I just need to finish rendering it (which in the context of 2D drawing means adding shading and lighting to the base colors, if anyone is wondering) and then work out her expressions.
Now, regarding the Sunny vs. Anasteya Patreon poll - it probably looks a lot closer than it is. I haven't sent it into the "vote counter" yet, but the results could swing either way when the weight is added based on Patreon tiers etc. Either way, I'll leave the poll running for another week and then we'll count the votes.
Anyway, that's it for this progress update. I'll make another post -- this time next week, not in a month -- and maybe show another preview of Sunny's new sprite.
Assuming you even care for that. I saw the public poll, you damn mommy-lovers.
Love you all,
Worlaix
