To Be Hero X Countdown Card Posters

Because I wanted a reason to draw them all >:D

Also lil bonus ✨

1. Can't wait to see how much messier this gets in a week. This doesn't even include optional or exploratory dialogue! 2. See, this is why we didn't build a timeline for you to jump into.

i never thought i could love a game this much and then I saw RTgame play Slay the Princess one day. So when our prof told us to make a poster for our assignment guess what I immediately jumped to do.

For the rest of the show, it feels as if this didn’t happen. He could have just been a random guy. For example the hinted connection between him and the Addams family through his godmother just… disappears. And he casually mentions that he looked very different back then… only for this to also just never be brought up again, making it feel like just “Oh, that’s the typical “used to be ugly but now is handsome” cliche from so many YA romance stories… They could have used that, crafted that a bit. This is the Addams Family for Pete’s sake! 

If his godmother was such a great friend of Grandma Addams, and if the Addams and Thorpe family met during their funeral, we could have explored him interacting with other family members during their visits… And for the whole “I used to be shorter and fatter” stuff there is one so obvious way to make it fit the Addams aesthetic. Remember, it is topsy-turvy world. So instead of framing it as “I was an awkward looking kid, but now I’m a handsome guy”, it should have been the reverse. As a short obese kid he definitively would have been more “handsome” to the Addams ; and showing him becoming tall, thin, more conventional through puberty could have been played as him becoming an “awkward-looking teen”. Remember : just in the 60s sitcom, every time a man is praised by the Addams for his good charm he is described as having things such as buck teeth, receeding chin, three eyes… And in the first 90s movie it is FESTER who is the handsomer of the two brothers, by everyone’s agreement. 

I can’t stress how much potential there was packed in the first episode that slowly got drained… I won’t say everything they did with the character was bad - the whole “monster reaching out of the painting” to attack him was very nice, and it played so well in the aesthetic of the “tormented artist” to have him beeing attacked by his work. But let’s be honest: it could have been done better…
