Oh, why hello there!

@venenumvanilla

Just someone else on the internet looking around. Not used to tumblr, so just winging it. I like my anonmity, as such, call me by whatever pronouns. Hope you enjoy reading all that and whatever weird thing I am interested at the moment.

I was sad there was no pixel sprite of Susie since her game came out after Triple Deluxe where we got a lot of cool pixel sprites for the key chains. So, I went in to make my own take on it, and edited the previous sprites a little with a color palette from Kirby Dreamland 2.

Well... I say Kirby Dreamland 2, but if I went fully with it they would all look like Magolor at the bottom. Needless to say HAL took some creative liberties when they chose the colors, but I tried to follow them for Susie.

Some edits to the original sprites: Added Taranza's fangs and 'cleaned' it so his upper eyes are more visible. Flipped Magolor's lower half so he is looking fully right instead of over his shoulder. Eye shines for everyone!

Then finally here were the end results!

I tried to follow the Kirby Super Star SNES color palette which I think turned out pretty well. Although, I am sure there are mistakes in shading and size. Since the sprites seem to be inspired by the NES/Gameboy sprites? Not really sure...

Fun Fact: Looking at most partner/enemy characters in Super Star most have ~15 colors for their palette. Since it was on the SNES some (like Grizzo) almost have the full gradient for a color in their sprite.

In the extra section are just a few other sprites including a certain someone. I mainly just wanted to show these without making an entirely different post and show my thinking process: hence this essay like rambles here in between images.

~After this are the transparent enlarged sprites~

May work on a few more sprites to post, here is a little preview~

POV: You won on Magolor Race

i know it doesnt seem that way on the surface but once you do some digging and thinking?? bill cipher is kind of a tragic character. hes like a trillion year old kid who could just never learn a lesson because nobody was able to level with him in a way he could appreciate before he became unbearable. there’s a lot of unsaid angst in this character thats rearing its little ass up on the outskirts of the canon show.

Sixty degrees that come in threes. Watches from within birch trees. Saw his own dimension burn. Misses home and can’t return. Says he’s happy. He’s a liar. Blame the arson for the fire. If he wants to shirk the blame, he’ll have to invoke my name. One way to absolve his crime. A different form, a different time.
LITTLE TIP FROM SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK- "TRUTH" IS A TATTLETALE WITH NO FRIENDS. "TRUTH" IS YOUR ANNOYING UNCLE WHO SPOILS THE MOVIE. "TRUTH" IS A CONCEPT INVENTED BY POWERFUL LIARS TO GUILT YOU INTO GIVING THEM MORE POWER. DONT FALL FOR THE TRAP. LIE UNTIL WHAT YOU WANT TO BE TRUE BECOMES TRUE. LIE UNTIL YOU CANT REMEMBER WHATS A LIE AND WHAT ISNT. LIE UNTIL YOU ARENT LYING ANYMORE

“Alex, why is Bill lying about being happy?” Um, y’know… for courtesy.
If you think Stan’s relationship with his family is bad, Bill’s is worse.

Mabel, on the other hand—her, I like. ‘Fun’ is just another way of saying CHAOS, and I’m the master of that!
My concept is that Bill genuinely believes that Mabel’s kind of like him. He sees Mabel as a chaos agent… she’s a little bit selfish, she likes to have fun at whatever cost. And Bill is all those things times a billion. So he thinks when he lays it all out for her, like “How about, instead of being lame, you do something fun! And crush whoever you want in the process!” He thinks that’s going to go over. And, uh, he’s not wrong in seeing that side in Mabel, but— but Mabel is a better person than Bill Cipher.

— Alex Hirsch, commentary on Sock Opera from the complete series boxset

Why is Bill so mad at the world? I think there’s a lot of people where you can ask, “Why are they so mad at the world?” I think Bill is angry at the world for the same reason that anyone sometimes can get mad at the world. Everyone has days where they don’t get their way, where you have to go to bed early or you have too much homework to do or you can’t eat the candy that you want or you miss your favorite TV show and, in those moments, you just want to tear the whole world down.
Bill is a character who has been around for countless billions of eons, but he hasn’t grown up in that time. He’s a character who has accumulated many frustrations, many moments of destruction like that, and they’ve built up over time. Now he’s decided that he wants a world where there is no homework, where there is no bedtime—where you can eat any candy you want, and you can do anything you want. But because he is such a crazy guy, when he does anything he wants, it turns out to be terrifying. So I think little frustrations over thousands of years have built him into a sort of spoiled brat. And he takes it out on the world, and it’s up to our heroes to finally teach him some rules.

— Alex Hirsch, AV Club interview

theres a feeling of fleeting pensive sadness about bill. yes he deserves punishment. but it just feels like it didnt need to happen in the first place. if he had someone he could be open about his vulnerabilities to so that he doesn’t have to lie about being happy. or someone who could’ve advised and righted him in an unobtrusive way so that he had a large degree of freedom but was still being guided to grow in a positive direction. from just these glimpses you cant help but ask “what happened to you?

whatever the “different form, different time” entails, he’s going to need someone who can immediately read past his bullshit but be tactful and patient with him about it in order for him grow into a better person.

this screenshot leaves out the best part of the character design

I think we’re not seeing the bigger picture here which is that Disney has a dating sim app, if Iago is in it then who the fuck else is in it

I cannot stress this enough, but, what the fuck

I feel like it should be clarified that the sexy anime husband next to Iago is not, in fact, Jafar.

That’s Jafar’s staff.

HIS WHAT ???

This post is a new punch in the face every time I see it

So, Twisted Wonderland was released this month and i was waiting for that post to show up again, because as someone who plays it (and even thought bad of the game, before searching for more info) i feel like there is some things that needs to be clarified. Let’s start with the story: in the game, you play as someone who woke up in a place called Twisted Wonderland. Things happens and now you’re accepted in a magic academy, where you have to cooperate with the others students while you search for a way to go home.

Let’s begin!

1- Twisted Wonderland is not a dating sim. There isn’t a possibilty, no even a little implication of romance between the player and the characters. Not that i don’t like dating sims (i play a lot of them actually), but if a game doesn’t has the dating thing in it you have to say it, and thats the case with Twisted Wonderland;

2- They didn’t turn the characters from the animations into characters of the game, is more like a inspiration than an adaptation. Remember the dormitory thing? in the academy there’s a total of seven dormitories, each one of them is modeled after one of the villains (or as they call it, the Great Seven). As entering the academy, the student is sorted in one of those dorms, based on their qualities. Here’s some of the others characters:

-In the sequence: Trey Clover, Vil Schoenheit, Dire Crowley and (one of my faves) Lilia Vanrouge-

Now you ask me “but, if it isn’t a dating sim… then what the game is about?”

Twisted Wonderland is a battle and rythm game (with a little bit of gacha), where you can level up your cards through lessons (like history of magic, alchemy and flying lessons). The rythm game is brutal af (the thing has literally only two notes, but will make you cry tears of pain) and the battles are also really hard. 

Yana Toboso (creator of Black Butler, art and story) is the responsible for the character designs, scenario and concept. And you can tell that girl did a great job!! I mean:

Twisted Wonderland is a really fun game and has a great story, you can tell that they worked so hard to make it (and they did a good job, 10/10). So if you like this kind of game or if you’re searching for something cool to play, you should give Twisted Wonderland a chance. You ain’t gonna regret it.

oh shoot it’s actually a rhythm game and not a dating sim?

…Fuck that might conceivably be fun then.

I love you KH fans dearly but how do you guys not lose your shit daily when you see disney characters dropping lines like this at bishie anime characters

What started as a simple project, and I then realized just how many outfits Magolor has now (not even including his other forms).

Going to do a follow up post where I ramble, but here are some enlarged sprites for you until then.

....I also have this

He definitely would need more frames (and hands), but look at him go!

...okay rambling time~

So here are the sprites again only in their original resolution from when I edited them in MS Paint. I just have been using Pixilart website to help scale them up and make the earlier gif.

So if anyone uses the sprite sheets just send a link(?) of your work, so I can come over and enjoy your stuff (^v^)

Here are also the transparent images from earlier just tiny... and not so transparent

This was a fun learning experience, and am quite happy how most of Magolor's outfits turned out. Definitely my favorite Magolor so far is his western one and here is a interesting fun fact about his outfits. Compared to most of Magolor's outfits his Merchant, Sad Kitty Epilogue, Ninja, and Cowboy outfits all lack the purple on his gear motif. (Although, I am unsure if the purple is on the Manger outfit?)

As I wrote before, this project really got out of hand since I miscalculated just how many outfits Magolor now has with RTDLD (10 outfits for one snazzy fellow).

If I kept working on Magolor sprites I would want to give the Music Festival Magolor a guitar and looking through some of the merch he also has a violin?... and another hat for Merchant Magolor?!

THis is all just for Magolor without the Boss stuff?!?...

Another reason why I am so happy with how the Cowboy Western? Magolor truned out is I was able to pose him as he appears in the mini game. Most of the others I just tried to complete their outfits, palettes, and basic hands so if I come back to this I have a continue point.

...here is the original png from my previous post as an reward to getting past my rambles again.

Welp, time to continue lurking on the internet. Not sure when I will post something again. My original plan was to work on Magolor for around Easter and umm that plan kinda fell through.

Really want to work on Susie's and Taranza's sprites. *cough* definitely not biased towards the wave 3 friends *cough*

Until next time~

ok so im not seeing things i think since the original rtdl his ears have Definitely gotten much bigger and longer than they were before

he grew up

Avatar

i know it's not really the same lmao but if we compare prev magolor costumes that kirby wore, the ears are clearly a ton smaller

the angle of the ear excuse can't really be used either, because even if you moved the ears forward a bit to match how the mask looks they would still be smaller

therefore magolor's ears clearly becoming bigger and more emphasized to the viewer not only greatly improves his cuteness factor but also serves as a critical symbol and representation of his growth as a character this essay aims to prove th
