been playing the update i missed dulce my friend dulce
he has one of my favorite characters designs ever <3 also idk if this makes any sense but i can just tell this game is made with so much love and it's really nice to play because of that
Yay our friend Dulce!! I'm glad you like his design! I tried to make his design memorable even from just his head, you would be able to recognize him with just those hair patterns and possibly also just his color palette.
Fun fact: He dresses that way because he wants to be safe (many layers of clothes and two belts, fully covered except for his face and hands, collar and choker helps hide scars too) and look friendly (first more hidden layers are black, then it's a pure white, then a fun, happier yellow, with some pink details) like a children's mascot or something... But he used to wear darker colors fully or on the outside with lighter ones on the inside.
Barbarella and Jaice dress more "chill" with only the necessary layers and covering for a mild weather. Jaice wears shorts with a white shirt and a hoodie, Bella a skirt with a white shirt and a bolero, but Dulce wears pants and many upper parts.
They also have one main color, Red and Blue, more monotone and simple, but Dulce would maybe have 2 or 4, Yellow and Pink plus White and Black/Gray and Brown or something, he has more "complexity" since there.
Also, something about unnatural looking and more natural looking hair/eye color (although, compared to the regular, human, Dulce with black hair, the Dulce from the game looks more unnatural) too. Eyeshapes, the different style of the irises (in which Dulce's case his iris is barely visible because his pupils are dilated most of the times) and I guess the gender non conformity as well, you get it.
And it is made with love, among other feelings, it's good to know that it's visible. I'm more of a traditional art guy but I only tend to post digital stuff, and VNs look better with digital art (the only example in which traditional fits is maybe slay the princess? I don't know much but I heard it was. I don't have a scanner or anything so I doubt I could do that) which is why I dont get much out as I'd want... But I try to cook (bake? lol) at the end I accept I'm not an art machine, even Dulce is closer to being a "friendship machine" (partially true in literal sense).
I hope other VNs I make 👀 have that "made with love" feeling too. Thanks a lot!!! 🦷
