Before mining the statues, you can walk right up to him, as I did in this screenshot. Spoiler You can just run circles around him or whatever, until you mine down the statues that then summon the clockworks. 1 hour ago, DragonMage156 said: maybe Willow or Wilson? I'll add it to my list of options. Next time I'm out or waiting on a bus I'll see about doing one of those two, perhaps eventually both.

Very nice. There's a lot of detail here, with the stones, trees, and Wigfrid herself. I think I like the black and white with full darkness the most, since it preserves the most definition and detail, but the gray background might not be desirable.

In the Constant, you live an eternity, but in that tiny box where everything is truly constant... it's enough, you might say, to drive someone insane. On 8/7/2018 at 12:45 AM, gallusvarius said: One of these things, but for Wigfrid. Oooh, I like it! I do get the feeling of dimension from her face, and the detail in the ears are great. Perhaps, if you want to go for more realism, add more detail and dimension to the eyelids? And maybe a softer separation of her lips - separation by shading, for instance, instead of a line. On 8/7/2018 at 12:45 AM, gallusvarius said: Does anyone want to suggest a character they might be excited to see drawn in this way? Well.

In the Constant, you live an eternity, but in that tiny box where everything is truly constant... it's enough, you might say, to drive someone insane. Especially the two 'Maxwell basking in his triumph' statues constantly glaring you down, and the constant either rain or snow and frequent darkness of Adventure-mode. The two worlds Wes is able to appear on; One of them, Cold reception, constantly snows or rains, one of the two, never really gives you a break. The other, King of Winter - Just infinite winter, for ever. Cold reception has a one-segment day period and the rest is afternoon. Poor Wes can't be killed by Charlie in that trap of Maxwell's, but I'm sure he has suffered Them whispering to him in the dark or something. In other words yeah - While my own interpretation of Wes isn't 'psychopathic,' I bet you he's probably seriously claustrophobic now, at the very least. But all the characters probably have their past struggles. 3 hours ago, Auspice said: Well. I'd certainly be interested to see how you would tackle Wilson. Oh! Or maybe Charlie. Ooo!

That's a possible theory, but not sure it has anything to prove it... Nothing stands against it either. It's up to one's own decision, I imagine. Some prefer to see Wes as definitely crazy and potentially bloodthirsty... I don't, and I guess we have a little more for that, Klei clearly depicts him as giving out valentines cards, so he must be kind somewhere. Sometimes kindness and good nature can come out of suffering, though, so again, it could go either way. My Wes is nice but doesn't want to be left alone because of remembering how long he was alone in that box; I mean, none of them want to leave the group, I imagine, but he's one of the ones who doesn't want to leave even more. Doesn't want to be left alone and doesn't like small spaces/being confined. If you made him walk through a thin passage in a cave or something, he'd probably get anxious, I guess - But this is just 'my' interpretation for him, and this doesn't have much to stand on either. Anyway. Basically, if you want to think he can't remember it, there's no reason not to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely interesting... If you don't mind, I'd adopt that into my own interpretation, definitely seems like he should get nightmares/flashbacks. I would just add it in addition to the 'don't leave me alone and don't make me go through small spaces.' <--- I don't see those two as especially drastic, just traits gained after his experiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of Wes as kind-hearted and lonely. And with high levels of emotional empathy and understanding. And with a playful, mischievous streak. I'd also think he still has nightmares about his time trapped, but still hasn't forgotten. Definitely yes for claustrophobia as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage156 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Wes napping in a tent. Suddenly starts whimpering and jolting around. Wigfrid notices and comes in to wake him up, somewhat concerned (without being out of character). Suddenly Wes hugs her cos he was so scared of the nightmares. I just wanted to drop this thought here. You could take it as shippy or platonic, it can go either way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't sleep and would notice him rolling around and 2. Mothers over everyone, and it would be really awkward for them both in that situation. I can see why you'd favor Wigfrid for the role, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting take on the Verdant skin. Her skin is supposed to be patterned after Ghibli's Princess Mononoke, but you went for more of a survivor prom dress vibe with this. Every DS artist should tackle Wes's trap sometime. Mine came out more like a Disney piece due to me being inspired by Tom Waits's Eyeball Kid, but here you went more for the depression aspect of being trapped. Really relatable to anyone who's ever felt like they couldn't escape a situation. On 8/7/2018 at 12:45 AM, gallusvarius said: The nubby alicorn head is too adorable for words.

I mean, I kinda felt it and knew it, and now with the short hair it really makes sense, but I didn't know that was their aim. Neat. Thanks, I worked a lot on the backround. I kinda wasn't against her looking like Mononoke in my piece either. I didn't remember how her verdant skin precisely looked, except that it had a skirt, so I tried to do some ragged layers of cloth, tattered and carried by the wind a little. It must look like a prom dress because I had no reference... 5 hours ago, minespatch said: Every DS artist should tackle Wes's trap sometime.

gallusvarius Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Okay, Okay, here I am. I'm gonna try and come back from the dead again as things have finally slowed down and been a little less busy. I think part of my disappearance was that I - As I said in the beginning of this topic of mine - Have 'waves' of interests and the interest hit a trough, but now I think I'm reviving again. The other part of it was feeling the need to say something to everyone's stuff and not having the time to keep up with it. Particularly for Auspice and Resette, because their stuff is JUST THAT NEAT but at the same time I can't keep up with their levels of productivity- In my silence I also wasn't drawing much either, or at all, so I didn't have incentive to show anything or to be here except to remark on others, so that added into decreasing interest. So, I actually finished this a while ago but forgot to scan and post it, because I have an annoying laziness about scanning. Furthermore, I'm very disappointed with my scanner, as I feel it didn't do my drawing justice. This was a portrait for Willow. But you can't even see her neck, much less the subtle and very essential shading I applied to all of this! Even in the preview scan, I got some of it to marginally show, but once it scanned - Nope, gone. At least you can clearly see my lightning-bug, though. I will try taking a picture of this one, maybe. Maybe a camera will do better... Oh, it seems I had this one slanted, whoops... Oh well, the good parts of the picture are in it. I drew this a while ago as well, while on that trip, we visited this very interesting store full of random doodads, and in one room it was full of ultra-fancy clocks! I rapidly started sketching them down as quickly as I could, as well as one of their fancy chairs, to try and make a very interesting drawing with it. Unfortunately the scanner decided to murder the fireplace on the right, but otherwise, I do feel that for once the details I invest are unusually visible. This is Wendy's Victorian/Gorge skin, for those unfamiliar with it. Last but not least, some nonsense. I was playing Wolfgang, since many think he's really good and I wanted to try it out. So far I'm not ultra-impressed but he's not bad either, gameplay wise. However, some of his quotes are pretty funny. I wanted to illustrate some of them. All of them aren't even illustrated here and some depicted here are slightly modified, like the evil flower being a potato. In the corner - Me and my Not-Wendy-Maining-Sister were playing DST and she went as Wolfgang and I as Winona, so we could try out some new characters... She examined a clothes hanger and discovered Wolfgangs 'I skinny and bendy like clown-man Wes' quote, and then asked for the wes-hanger up there. There may be more quote drawings, at least for Wolfgang, in the future because there were more I wanted to do. As of all the cool stuff that has been posted by other people... I'll be trying to catch up if I can. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they're gonna leave Willow soon too except for that single firefly, but don't worry, she's got her lighter. It was a long time ago, but yeah, I've seen some of the Hamlet stuff. I'm really excited for it. I definitely agree! I've thought for a long time now that Wolfgang was a sweet character at heart. I feel it's important to emphasize his nice-ness because it seems like some people dislike him because of the reputation he gets from the youtuber Edgy Rick. I don't regularly watch youtube, but I know enough about Don't Starve that I pick up on the names of the youtubers... I guess I'm saying I wanna combat the reputation he gets that isn't really even in character for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgy Rick however.... It's mixed. On the Forums people really focus on the character, but I had some experiance outside the primary artist community before I came to it. I've been playing Wolfgang a bit. I think the thing I like most so far is his ability to eat so much so I have an excuse to eat all the food I produce, because I seriously over-produce food when left to a camp. ...Even a wolfgang running on a full stomache 24/7, I still have some turkey dinner rotting in the fridge, 20 bacon and eggs, some butter muffins, pierogies, and fishsticks, about three meatballs, and the occasional dragon-pie but I usually save my dragonfruit and turn them into seeds for later because I feel overwhelmed by all the food. I do better supporting a wolfgang (Or maybe more than one!) as opposed to being a single one, I believe. But so far, I almost feel that he's worth playing for his funny quotes. At least I have some new analysis on his play-style though. 2 hours ago, ResettePlayer said: Oh yeah, scanners cannot handle pencil very well. It's infuriating.

I use buttermuffins for healing, so if I have some good fresh ones, I might try a little extra risk - nothing too much of course - because I know I can heal myself afterwards. I do that often, in fact, I actually make hoards of jerky for that very cause - Eating for sanity or health rather than hunger... I make unnecessary amounts of jerky. In the same fridge with wolfgang I'm having trouble with space management because, in addition to all the normal food I have two and a half stacks of small jerky (Over 80), and a little over one stack of normal/large jerky. I had a previous frog rain and brought it to the tallbird fort nearby, but also, I trap rabbits and dry the meat. However, on the DST world I have with my family, where we have a lot of people, the obsessive food collecting is useful. It's also nice to have a stack of jerky on hand when in the ruins, to manage health and sanity. Typically speaking, my ventures into the ruins go pretty smoothly, as long as I bring the jerky.
