I'd probably only tell myself which people I initially associated with but ended up being troublesome LOL, that's it. Everything else just kinda came naturally which I feel like it's best that it happened as such.

fuck this, in all capital letters and with six million exclamation marks. like hell i'm gonna do that LOL, that's just too much work... not to mention the fact that it lags the game real hard 1) 2nd place + 1st public's choice award + Plume of excellence for the manner in which the actors on the float were integrated into the environment, so I'd say pretty well! I actually have a presentation tomorrow evening for the workgroup to properly explain the new design for the upcoming year, so I'll be designing again this year, and probably the year after this still as well! 2) Dark blonde! I haven't had my natural hair color since I was like... 11-12 years old, though. My mom used blonde spray on my hair to lighten it a little bit before I started actively dyeing it in 2014, and I've had the red hair since late 2014 - early 2015. I dye my hair every 3-5 months or so! 3) It's generally pretty peaceful??? Not a whole lot happens here. I don't care much for the country itself as much as I simply love the town I live in, because of its community and me feeling I'm actually able to be a part of it somehow 4) There's unfortunately, despite the peace, a relatively large amount of people who are xenophobic, lol... People tend to hate immigrants. 5) yeah

New character art for Melia (1st appearance), Ren (1st appearance), Venam (1st appearance), Zetta, Nim, Aelita (1st appearance), Keta and Madelis along with icons has been added!

Soooo... It's finally time to show the full versions off of the character art for Rejuvenation's early game characters! As most of you are probably well aware, a good couple of these characters have different appearances/outfits later in the game, but I will be drawing art for those as well. For the time being, here's the plot-relevant characters up to Carotos mountain -- Melia (1st appearance), Ren (1st appearance), Venam (1st appearance), Zetta, Nim, Aelita (1st appearance), Keta and Madelis! ...Yes, I forgot Eli and Sharon. And Amanda. Eli & Sharon will be included in the next batch though!! And Amanda I'll be keeping for West Gearen characters for.... Reasons you can probably all appreciate. :] *cough* her battle right before erick's battle catching me off guard every fucking time *cough cough couGH COUGH* Either way, all of the individual transparent character artworks can be found in the Official art thread! There's also a bunch of icons I made of the new art that you can use if you want in that thread as well, so feel free to check it out

bruh you can quit it with the "..." stuff now, everyone's already moved past it except you lol

hello yes i have actually done something gen 8 related this week outside of the character art and that's making the got dam bone snake's -- aka Eternatus -- hell backsprite. i already did the front sprite back in December but i kept putting it OFF because iiiiiiiiiii knew this sprite was going to give me pain and guess what! it sure fucking did. jesus christ almighty i am DEAD but anyways take these. u'll be seeing these in game at some point. when? i do not know!!!!!! i actually really don't know LOL so don't read into it pls, but i had to make them anyways because of the gen 8 project so u'll get to see them in the graphics folder at the very least!!!!!! also u know im frustrated when i decide to write forum posts in the same way i normally talk on discord. this sprite can eat big stinky doodoo for all i care >:^(

Yep! His VS portrait in-game actually has been changed slightly as well to match his official art better, as I felt it's more visible what a sorry state the poor guy actually is in like this. The differences between his normal and his spirit portrait are much more clear now, too! I've put a comparison in the spoilers.

But wait! There's more!

Taking a short break from Gen 8 spriting to work on something else that's probably a little overdue....

As I explained on discord, our current consensus on the matter is that only base Gen 8 is set to be included with V13. We haven't settled on what we'll do with the DLC additions yet in the sense of whether we're adding those in a patch or in V14. so we can't make any promises on that field yet!

I don't really care much for musicals, but my favourite artists are Kensington and Coldplay!

Tip: If you have Photoshop, open up your tilesets in there and copy in those swatches you have in an empty spot on the tileset, then merge it with the layer the tileset is on. Grab the bucket tool, turn off anti-aliasing and contiguous mode, then color all those swatches you have pure black. Et voila! You'll have all of the outlines turned completely black in one go without having to do everything manually. Don't forget to remove the swatches later on though, lol. I'm not sure if there's equivalents of this in other programs, but it's extremely useful to recolor stuff so I'd recommend finding a program that supports such a function.

Dunno where you got this information from, but I doubt anyone's said anything of this sort, so there's no real reason to believe there's not gonna be more crests. I'm not really too sure on the details myself either though, lol.... But I doubt this is the last you'll see of them.

yayayayaya

This week is a rather plentiful week of updates, isn't it? Well I've got one last thing to show off for now! But before we get to what's being added, let's introduce you all to someone! Some of you might remember this character being on some of Gearen's billboards in older versions of the game + you've also probably met her mother Jolene in the game by now, but I'd like you to meet Volta! In the older versions of Rejuvenation, she was the electric type gym leader, who would go on to retire and be replaced by Erick, who then still played a significantly smaller role than he does now. In the current version of the game she was a gym leader that acted as the stand-in for Saki, but now Erick has taken over her spot as gym leader as she went off to GDC to become a news reporter... Basically reducing her to a character that's only been mentioned once or twice. But now you're probably wondering, why haven't we seen more of her yet if she's still somewhat relevant? Well, I'm here to answer that question! In V13, we're adding a hints system that is accessible through the TV's you find in houses. This system is meant to help you find your way around if you're lost on as of where to go next, which is particularly useful when you haven't played in a while and you have no clue where you left off... And Volta will be the one appearing on TV to tell you all about the latest scoops and happenings that will put you back on track! And to go with this new hints system, she got a fresh new look to go along with it as well. Meet our new Volta! Next time you get lost in the game just find the most nearby TV, and Volta will be there to tell you all about the latest happenings so you can find your way back to where you need to go! We hope you will appreciate the addition of the hints system. It's going to be a bit of work to write them all out considering how long the game itself is, but we hope it'll help some of you in the future! Don't expect these V13 content updates to be this frequent by the way, as this post is about something for which the graphics were finished a few months ago already. Updates in regards to new V13 content will probably remain scarce for a while until we're done with Gen 8 implementation (unless Jan wants to post something about it whenever he feels like it LOL), so please be patient with us for a little while longer as we try to get all of that sorted out first! Oh, and I completely forgot to mention it in my previous post... but Happy New Year from everyone in the Rejuv dev team! Let's all hope for another great year!

1) Mmmmm not really. I do like most of Dan Brown's books, thought! Just that I'm more of a fanfic reader than anything else sdghfjsdfsvbdgns 2) There's a good couple of artists that inspire me! A couple of my friends, but also some other artists that I simply follow on twitter. I'd recommend checking out Jenna Brown's, Loish's, ExTrident's and Hitofutarai's artwork, those are some of my favourites!! I have, actually! If I ever somehow end up not being able to draw anymore, I'll probably consider pursuing music and particularly digital production as a career path. I still want to take vocal lessons again at some point as well.

Good! and absolutely, i take full responsibility and i regret absolutely nothing

Mugshots! Trainer sprites are fine but I find enjoyment in doing larger sprites since it's easier to draw facial expressions, which I really like doing. 1) it's actually derived from an old OC I had back in 2011, which I then turned into an username I had for a while (Zumidesu), and people started calling me Zumi because of it. The nickname stuck, so I'm still using it now! 2) .........................................would it be bad to say i havent even played any fangames outside of rejuv and reborn................... 3) Curry madras!!! like..... 600 fast
