Skip to About the Artwork if you want. Just a disclaimer. } [ non-canon ] If you recall, once you beat the Chaos King, the Field of Hopes and Dreams and that entire Dark World is sealed and inaccessible. Sometime following the events of Chapter 1, Ralsei sets up an outdoor room in his castle with an aesthetic reminiscent of the Field of Hopes and Dreams. The next time Kris and Susie visit Castle Town, he invites them to a picnic in this room. In this image, the chosen three lay down in the rose- and crimson-tinged grass, gazing at the fake stars twinkling in the fake sky, reminiscing on their first adventure together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀« ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛᴡᴏʀᴋ » Hope this was worth the wait! I got real busy in the last few days before the deadline so the last rendering was a cram. I will admit, seeing all those amazing submissions struck me intimidated, but they won't stop me from putting in my own entry! I was actually planning on making an art piece like this before the contest, so when it came I realized that it gave me a real incentive to work (I have terrible conviction issues). I don't expect this to win a thing, it'll probably get honorable mention at most, but I'll just be happy if people see my artwork since I know the feeling of looking at art you like---I want you guys to feel that here :D This is my first time making a complete art piece Deltarune-related, and it was in fact difficult---I had to resketch Susie's outline like five times. XD Made on Kleki in my free time; unfortunately, I cannot give you an accurate time frame that this was completed in as I came on and off working on it. It was over a month of this. Rapid-fire fun facts! vv 1) There is NO black in this image. Kris's outline is a very dark blue, and Susie's vest is a very dark jade (yes, her vest is actually this color in-game). 2) My irl friend (known as @craysy_thingamabob on Scratch) drew a simple cartoony shock face in Susie's hair while I was coloring it, and I left it there until I started rendering. Later on on Jan 27, a different irl friend drew a top hat, eyebrows, and a moustache on it as well as dotting the eyes again, all in yellow. You can see both in the artwork sprite's third costume. 3) The main outlines for the characters are NOT in the original color palettes, but most of the rest is. 4) Ralsei was initially going to have his hand showing, but the angle was too difficult for me (ToT) so I took up the space with his scarf instead. See the sketch in the same place as the aforementioned shock face. 5) Kris's bandana design required staring at tons of sprites. I'm still unsure what exactly the blue stripe thingies are on their bandana in the pixel sprites but I assume they're either shading or some sort of stripe thing, which is what I went with because I thought it looked cooler. 6) A fellow artist in my class showed me how to do the hair highlights. My excuses for them looking bad is I just learned it, Half of them were made with my mouse, and It was too late to learn how to correctly add highlights to hair. 7) Mostly an experiment art piece---I've never taken a digital art class in my life! 8) This was all done by either finger or mouse on a cheap school Chromebook. 9) First time entering a Scratch art contest! :3 10) I personally give it an 8.25/10. Should have studied more. Kris has a nose but they just refuse to show it, trust. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀« ᴄʀᴇᴅɪᴛs » Me for the art and stuff :p Also me for figuring out how to make a description aesthetic (--?) , , , and for running this art contest :D All characters and music originally from Toby Fox :D Some guy on YouTube named Mikkus71 for mashing up Field of Hopes and Dreams with From Now On :P (Scratch freaking RUINs the quality of the music so some high notes don't register ToT) Some other people... for some other songs.... you'll see.......... if you try hard enough............. Comment "tricky" if you didn't hear Field of Hopes and Dreams x From Now On the first time you clicked the flag. MICHAEL ᶠʳᶦᵉⁿᵈ ᶦⁿˢᶦᵈᵉ ᵐᵉ
