portrait art for the manifesto rpg thing
these were mostly intended to be placeholder doodles but i do think they have a lot of charm. im a freak who was really into reading the chucklefish game development blogs they used to post like literally all of them since the first ever posts about starbound. and what that means for me is that i like would like every 6 months as a middle schooler from literally the day it was announced chucklefish was working to publish stardew valley i would like obsessively check for updates on stardew valley. i remember anecdotally telling my friend with like exasperated enthusiasm on the playground behind my middle school chorus room in 7th grade that starbound was going to be a video game where there was an infinite number of animals AND guns. and then subsequently explaining what harvest moon was to my friend so that i could explain why i was excited about stardew valley. despite the fact that i had never played harvest moon. it was auxiliary to my enthusiasm for the idea of an infinite, space version of minecraft. and so anyway as a result i developed from my like 12 year old youth a very deep fascination with the placeholder portrait and video game graphics of guys trying to make video games. thats the point of this blog post. you like it. i still check to see if witchmarsh is coming out every couple months. i checked like a couple weeks ago.
