GRAAHGH HELLO!! oooh I'd absolutely love to trade w you! >:3c I am already Brimming with ideas actually...
Woouldd you be down to doing an experimental page-style trade per hapss? here's an idea!! It'd be something resemblant of this awesome sylvie piece, with polaroid-style picture scenes but with Vin and co. hanging out in different galaxies e.g. caption: 'the view from Good Egg Galaxy. Somebody trampled the flowerbeds and it wasn't me!!' (followed up by a polaroid of that area in front of the signature Good Egg house, and some flowers/dirt on the artpiece as 'souvenirs' from that experience) or 'chilling from the Beach Bowl' (and, you guessed it, a polaroid from a location in Beach Bowl, and seashells as a souvenir) Let me know if it'd be doable!! I can elaborate further if it is! and, of course, do inform me what I could do for my side if you're willing to do a page! ):D
OMG of course!! that'd be so adorable?? I'd love to do that for you! Is there any other specific characters I should think to include? Otherwise, I'm sure I can send a wip and ask if there's anything more I can add! :O Would you be cool to do some sort of page too? I was thinking of anything between Liana and Nira? (Clearer eye ref here! Link) Maybe not similar in the polaroid theming (though I've always enjoyed the style in these two pieces from you [link] [link] ) but instead the theming could be regarding flowers and flower language and themed around that- I think the main one I'd say to include is daylilies for one of the main parts as it is what they most often provide as gifts to each other, (it's sort of how they console each other mutually, it's like symbolism for their romance as a whole) but if you want to expand on it and include other forms of flower language (except for maybe anything involving roses) I'd be in adoration, I could help give ideas as well if you want but honestly feel free to go crazy for it otherwise! :O
Just in general the sort of idea that for as emotional their history is, they're ultimately there for each other in their darkest moments. That sweet and soft solidarity between them would melt my heart to see depicted
OKAOAY AAHH I must apologize for the late reply..!! TOT I zipped away to sleep after that message + I've been trying to tackle the influx of comments HAHHA. now you are ready for my infodump! I want to elaborate on the info I provided yesterday to give you a better picture of my vision >:3c
it is a LOOTT, so watch your head!
I'd love a page-style piece of Vin exploring different in-game galaxies, featuring polaroid scenes that they took on said places with the following scenarios:
- Good Egg Galaxy: A shot in front of the iconic Good Egg house; all is picturesque and pretty, but it's followed up by a smaller, separate photo with a close-up pic of a ruined flowerbed. A caption on the side (not directly written on the polaroid photo) -maybe in the style of a notepad paper?- says: "the view from Good Egg Galaxy. Somebody trampled the flowerbeds and it wasn't me!!" alongside the polaroid are some flowers/dirt, like Vin dragged in 'evidence' and placed it next to the picture
- Beach Bowl Galaxy: A shot from somewhere on Beach Bowl! It can be above water, underwater, by the falls, wherever you like ! :D Captioned: "Chilling on the Beach Bowl" (OR anything else you can think of!) (I had a revelation.. what if . WHAT IF... THIS. it would be absolutely hilarious if you included a smaller photo - similar to the ruined flowerbed one, but with a stupid-looking pic of a Tox Box absolutely obliterating Vin!! of course, you don't have to do this if it's too ridiculous, but if you did I would get a gooood giggle HGBSHFBAHAH) alongside this one: maybe some seashells? Or stickers of assorted tropical items - the golden shell from Star 2, maybe? ah, those travel magnets!! ALL UP TO YOU..
- Toy Time Galaxy: A shot from any of the dessert areas in Toy Time, with a shot of Vin holding a massive spoon and. devouring the landscape . Visible chomp marks in the assorted foods there HAHAAH; I'd like there to be a caption, but for this one, the caption's word contents are completely up to you!! alongside are some sweets keychains maybe - candled cupcakes? sour sugar gumdrops? anything you can think of!
- For the last entry, I'd lick you to pick a galaxy - any galaxy!- of your own >:3 and your own caption, scenario, props, etc!! just go bonkers WILD with it surprise me
Composition is totally up to you! I'd love if there was a focal point to it, e.g. a large fullbody of Vin and the scenes just feature chibis of Vin. Like the Sylvie piece, Vin doesn't have to be inside the photos - they can be floating around doing misc related activities!
Don't forget to include Vin's cat-ghosts and all their mini-islands at least once! they don't have to be gravitationally attached to Vin ahha, they can be anywhere that is compositionally wise Additionally, you can feature cameos of any of the other SMG themed characters in my TH if you'd like c: if it's too much work, though, you don't have to do it at all!
Because of this I cannot get the idea of Vin in a spring mushroom out of my head <__< going to have to scrub that one out manually
ANYWAY that was a lot omg. Please let me know if any part of it is not doable / ask me any questions!! I think I've truly expressed just how much I love going on my tangents KHAHA
I would LOOVEE to draw your two again, been dreaming of the perfect excuse to depict them as fullbodies rather than just headshots KEHEHEE!! I have some ideas for the piece already >:{D a few specific ideas would be indeed helpful if you'd like to share, however!! I think a handful of solidly outlined concepts would help me produce something more ideally to your liking; aside, I luv these guys and I'm excited to get started whenever :3c
AHHHH YESS!! The ideas are so flowing through my mind already, I CANNOT wait to draw Vin's chaotic little adventures!! I love the guy so much-
There are so many galaxies to pick from with the idea, and I can't wait to find one for this! honestly, I haven't had the opportunity to do paneling like this since Art Fight, so I can't help but mention the excitement I have for starting something like this again!! Can't wait to extrapolate the hijinx, especially with that tox box :"D (maybe I WILL even have him trapped inside a spring mushroom somewhere... I think you've cursed my visual interpretation of this)
I'll definitely see about cameo-ing your other guys where I can as well! The hype is unreal. I'll do my best, though I'll be sure to message if I have any further questions !! <3
AND ok!! I have some bonuses you could take from mine as well
Since daylilies are gifted to others as as symbol of overcoming troubles, it's obviously the biggest thing between them (they're always troubled by something I swear) They come in all sorts of colors as well! orange, and purple/blue are always what I find myself coming back to though
But outside of that, each of them does have flowers they tend to be represented by outside of daylilies too
With Nira it's usually the Gladiolus (commonly known as the sword lily) that tends to represent strength, honor, and faith. Nira tends to be more strong outwardly than Liana, if not appearing rather sharp on the outside. (She does tend to have a more soft interior, but Liana tends to acknowledge her as strong and tough regardless)
On the other hand, Liana tends to be personally represented by Sunflowers which can typically represent faith, positivity, and hope. While Liana's resolve is much much weaker than Nira's, I sort of see it as the message of hope for all things. Liana's obviously a bit of a pessimistic crybaby compared to Nira, though I think these things tend to cheer her up when she's sad. There are also tiger lilies, more representative of good fortune and prosperity. (though she tends to lack the strength they embody)
Outside of those big three off the top of my head, I do have some smaller ones you're free to work with any of these if you get extra ideas!! (I really enjoy the Alstroemeria and Tulips myself) Alstroemeria - Represents many things, including love and mutual support. They also come in orange/yellow and purple (it's just like them!!) Parrot Tulips - deep, unconditional love. come in lots of colors as well! Tulips in general are pretty fun, especially Variegated Tulips which resemble beautiful eyes (because I think Nira is especially self-conscious of her missing/ shut-eye) Carnations - symbolism tends to be based on color, though red carnations symbolize deep love and affection. A heart aching for someone else.
I'M SO EXCITED, that should be the end of my little dump but feel free to have fun with it!! I'm so excited to see whatever you come up with and the overall integration of this!
SORRY f or the late reply again omg!! I've truly been taking my sweet time soaking in all the content HEEHE I gotta thank you for adding all this extra info, as always it is very fascinating to take in; especially so, in the context of consideration for this trade! :^)
I'm so happy you enjoy my Vin-centered shenanigans KEHEHEE I'm already so excited to see how it'll turn out , giggling prematurely at the thought of the tox box X'3 I just realized, too, that I picked two of the only galaxies that have tox boxes..! how peculiar is that! Vin's going to have a little bit of a problem on their hands here but yes - go as wild as you want with your choice of free-reign scenarios!! (..if you want to do more than one you're more than welcome ;D) Also, I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the previous comment or forgot, but I'd prefer all the text to be handwritten if possible :O not a giant fan of how fonts appear in drawn pieces, BUT if it's too much work don't hold yourself to it!!
ALSO!! Teeny note just to go by... Vin refers to they/them alone! :{D
As for your guys - goshh so many flowers for consideration..! daylilies I LOVE THEM... I'd love to include some, they're so pretty! not to mention one of my favourite chinese pickled vegetables HEHJHEE I bet you didn't imagine my head would go to chomping when it comes to a concept like this but shhhhh I just had to say it I'll be sure to throw in a whole garden's worth of the other flower selections you mentioned, too! I don't get a lot of practice with floral arrangements so it will be fun to attempt c; I have sm composition ideas for making this pretty now you have no idea...
That should be all! I'll get to work on it when I can for sure ~ SPROINGS AWAY
IT'S OKAY I'M SURE YOU'VE BEEN ABSOLUTELY BOMBARDED by all the messages! I appreciate you getting back to me regardless! <3
AH, I can't believe that for some reason slipped my mind, I'm so sorry Vin D: Thank you for correcting me on that! I'll be excited to depict their adventures regardless. Hopefully I'll get to start sometime soon if I keep on top of my schedule. Though I'm really excited to see if I can pull off anything you might not expect with it >:3c that noclip site is definitely going to be a lot of use this time around! definitely going to fit as much as I can before I reach that 4mb threshold toyhouse has ;D
(by the way :{D is such a funny emote, is that supposed to look like a mustache? it got me giggling)
That should work wonderfully for me! Honestly, my handwriting tends to be a little messy but I'll do my best to work it in while also trying to keep it looking nice. I figure it'll give a more authentic feel as well since I know some people mark their photographs with inked captions. I like the direction, it'll look like little sharpie captions!
I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT YOU DO!! I love flower arrangements so much and especially for these two, I'm sure I'm going to be blown away :D I remember reading that they were edible but the personal connection makes me even happier to hear. I'm beaming with anticipation, they have such a special hold on my brain these days
HEY, I hope you don't mind the message, but I think I'm finally going to get around to sketching my half of this trade soon (I'll share a wip over discord for convenience)! I have a small request though. If it's not too late, would it be possible for the alternative hair reference I sent for Liana initially to be definitively used? (Nira does also have an alternative outfit that matches with her's in case the outfit is chosen to be used) I was more iffy on it being used as a main image when we started the trade, but now its moreso a primary image as her hair color streaks shift specifically with her flower growths. If not, that's completely okay! I'd just ask for the teal streaks to be added in her hair on the coloring instead of the hair style completely adjusted. GAH thank you so much though I'm so sorry for the inconvenience
