The ending of slarpg hit me so hard after playing it to the end a few months ago or so that I COMPLETELY FORGAT I was supposed to check your blogs out and ask questions!

BUT I REMEMBERED NOW AND UHM. Have you already shared about Javis' designs construction? Do you have references?

I have since doing this drawing realized that his tapes don't gome from the bottom side but they actually kind of make sense but I had this whole big discussion with the girl who got me into slarpg on how Javis looks under the cloak. Is there like a knot or are they just loosely intertwined there? Or something else?

And do you have all the overworld sprite files for the characters somewhere? I checked sprite source but I believe they largely just have the close shots of when a character talks and then the beastiary, but as an artist the overworld aprotes would help me a lot in creating model turnarounds for myself that are more canonical.[Cuz I like canonical!]

I always draw bodies before I draw clothes to flesh things out so it'd help a lot to know what's happening with this guy! Sorry to be the guy to ask what's under them pants pfft

Also do you prefer questions like this on this blog or your personal blog? I'm probably going to become a very reoccuring little annoying fly that just buzzes around and asks a lot if that's cool. I love the world you built so much.

I don't have good reference material for Javis's body just because I was the only one who ever had to draw him for the game and I never had to draw him without his poncho, but I mean you pretty much got it down in the colored sketch. I'd imagine there's no knot, the two tape ribbons just kind of cross over each other once or twice. I'm not sure if I'd decided if the arms were part of his main body or built into the poncho.

(I think this is the first time anyone's ever drawn him nude lmao)

Only detail I'd do different is where the tape comes out. You can see on his north-facing sprite it comes out from underneath the flap on the top, like on a real VHS cassette.

The Spriters Resource does have pretty much all of the character sprites, I believe? They're just lumped into one archive for the party members and another for all the NPCs. But you can also browse the sprite sheets by going to the /Graphics/Characters folder in the game's install directory, they're all just sitting there as PNG files.
