✧ *:･ﾟALLISON AND MELODY GAINED SOME EXP! *:･ﾟ✧

I’m so hyped for SLARPG, an upcoming game created by Ponett, one of my favorite artists. I really LOVE the character designs, and draw up some Allison and Melody in battle, or after battle. ^ ^;

I might work on Claire and Jodie soon!!

mandibuzzing:

so excited for this game!!!!! i just had to do some hecka quick drawings of some of the new characters!! (ft jodie and claire)

i’ve been following @ponett​ for like 4 years and seeing how far she and her art have come is so inspiring and lovely!!! slarpg is going to be absolutely amazing and everyone should check it out!!!

ponett:

look what I got in the mail from @fattoads !!!!

ponett:

i mean she was basically just created for this project, and i feel like i’ve always had a pretty clear idea of what i want her to be

she’s partially inspired by how i used to write fluttershy for various mlp fan projects. this was especially true towards the beginning. but she’s gotten a lot more… nuanced, maybe? more realistic? her character voice has gotten slightly more confident over the years, or at least less exaggeratedly gentle and nervous. i love fluttershy, but she’s written to be more relatable to shy little kids than 20-somethings with anxiety disorders

i’ve just always enjoyed writing shy characters because i was always the quiet kid and i have horrendous social anxiety. i used to use fluttershy for that, and now i’m using my own characters. i guess it would be more accurate to say melody’s drawing from the same personal reasons why i latched onto fluttershy as a creative outlet, rather than being a direct translation of fluttershy as a character

in writing melody i’m drawing a lot from my own experiences with relationships and my own anxieties. she’s not LITERALLY a self-insert, of course, but i’m writing largely from my own experiences to try and tell a more genuine story. the way melody and allison started dating is kind of like how anthony and i started dating. melody is a chubby bisexual trans girl with anxiety because i am those things. some of her anxieties and fears are anxieties and fears that i also have. and on a more superficial level, she’s a healer because i like playing healer classes in video games

i wanted to create a character like that because i’d never seen a character like that, like myself, in literally any media. i just thought she was a character that deserved to exist

ponett:

it’s like half real reasons and half “i just like this animal and thought it’d be cute”

melody is a fox because she’s the character i see myself in the most. my first fursona i designed in middle school was a fox (because i was a big fan of tails), so i’ve always felt kind of attached to the animal

the others are largely a matter of me liking those animals, although more specifically allison is probably a bunny because of bunnie rabbot, claire is a cow because my first real WoW character was a tauren, and jodie is a tiger probably because, in all honestly, i saw zootopia not long before finalizing her design and i had those damn buff tigers on the mind. (side note: claire was almost a sheep, and for the longest time jodie was going to be a dog)

yes, i am extremely self indulgent when it comes to character designs

beyond that, though, i wanted the choices of animals to feel… slightly contradictory to the characters, in a way? i didn’t wanna pick animals that would stereotypically fit their body types and personalities. the party is very much not your typical Legendary Heroes–they’re a bunch of 20-something misfits with various identity issues who aren’t qualified to be saving the world, and i think the slightly mismatched animal choices reflect that

claire is a cow, a pretty big animal in real life, but she’s the smallest and most fragile member of the party. she’s also an extremely mundane farm animal that isn’t seen as particularly magical in most of the world, even though she’s a witch. allison is the strongest physical attacker in the party and generally pretty brave, neither of which are traits typically associated with fluffy little bunnies. and melody, who’s gentle and self-conscious, is a fox, a predatory animal generally seen as crafty and violent in folk tales. they’re also generally pretty small, lithe animals, whereas melody’s tall and chubby

the only one who really perfectly matches up with the animal she is is jodie, which was a very deliberate choice since she’s supposed to be the most capable adventurer of the group

the entire soundtrack is just this for five hours

sorry to the former music team, don’t need y’all, i got monkeys spinning monkeys babey

Until SLARPG is out I’m just gonna amuse myself by putting Taako quotes in Claire’s mouth.

This is Jodie and Faith from the new game that I’m am absolutely crazy about, Super Lesbian Animal RPG (Or SLARPG) being made by @ponett !! Jodie is, hands down, my favorite character already. I looked around and there’s not enough art of her. Faith and Jodie have such gorgeous designs. I can’t wait for this game honestly. Please go check out the creator and the game, there’s a trailer out and it has gorgeous art, cute characters, fun amazing music, like.
