Nine Sols Is So Good. It's So Good.

okay my lil 2 cents for any new users here from twitter:

x graphics on tumblr look best at 540px width. if you post a full screen without adjusting the canvas size to reflect that width, it might look a little off. in my opinion, screens look better when they’re adjusted because you can play with framing more, but at the end of the day it’s entirely up to you!

x this is an old img posting guide but it’s still relative:

x if you do photo sets, they’re going to look visually cleaner in a vertical format. you can freely move images before posting them to either sit on top of each other or side by side.

x there’s no algorithm here, the movement of content is entirely user driven, so if you like someone’s work please reblog it!

x if anyone else has anything to add, please feel free! 💕

I'm getting a lot of bots in my askbox, so anon is going off for now!

Alright.

You ready for a hard 'tag your oc' challenge?

Tag an oc who doesn't have childhood trauma. At all. Who's family is still alive.

I'll wait.

Yeahhh I’m taking down my Project Moon stuff, it sucks because it got some traction (!!!) but I don’t really want to be attached to it right now - sorry!

6. How important is wealth to your character?

Oooh, Sena's relationship with this is interesting!

He knows he needs money to live, and becoming an adventurer alongside his friend is something that I think was motivated by running out of money and needing to eat (at least partly). He doesn't care about wealth per se but a lot of his attitude in general is very survival-minded, and a part of that is being able to afford things.

I'd say his attitude is somewhere between this tumblr post where someone talks about how one of their life goals is to get an apartment, and they're asked why they don't want more, to which they respond with "I can't afford it / it's unrealistic / in this economy?" (I can't find it, I looked), and a few conversations early in Library of Ruina that boil down to "I can't be worrying about other people or dismantling the system or whatever, I have my own stuff to deal with!"

I - Inventor - How creative is their thinking? Do they seek out the opinions of others or rely on their own ideas? What’s their problem solving approach?

Sena is creative in specific ways, but I don't think he's creative in general - he might think outside the box during a fight as a survival / practical thing, but wouldn't have the patience for an art project or an elaborate strategy.

For the opinions of others, he actually puts a lot of stock into the opinions of the handful of people he trusts; in a lot of ways he sees himself as existing in relation to them, rather than by himself, and that extends to his antagonist arc where he's alone, lost, and lashing out. But he won't listen to like, strangers' advice without someone he trusts vouching for that stranger.

Problem-solving for him falls into either pragmatism (though not utilitarianism since he really only cares about his friends) or "I can fight it", to varying results. He's actually pretty observant and is quick to notice when things are off - though he could probably point them out a bit more tactfully.

As a bonus, since he curses a lot - most of his more creative curses are stolen from characters like SIdurgu or Estinien, because he has trouble coming up with his own.

having edgy ocs is soooo embarassing like yeah this is johnny... he.. kills people... yeah with a knife and theres blood and stuff yeah... sorry i know...

HEY THIS IS IMPORTANT whats your favorite place to find drawing references?
