Game
THE BALLAD OF MR. AFTON

7 months ago

okay this may SEEM irrelevant but trust

I just got this new rabbit last night ..named him billiam.. but lowkey might use this as more inspo for some of the weird art in tboma (article)


I said I was tired of writing but I lied

anyway as the game goes on there's a ton of non-literal representations of stuff in the art it's how I want to include a lot of my analog horror inspiration and I've been working for a while on a like 'avatar' for how william appears in these scenes sometimes. most characters are usually literally rabbits or something else weird and fucked up but the missing children are all baby kits and in tld the meatlings represent all the victims in the same way and there's many many many motifs of big/"parent" rabbit cannibalizes small rabbit under stress for sustenance as a visual element (tld flashes on screen) (👻👻👻)

with this in mind the mci kids are usually like. blue little bunny things, elizabeth is pink😁😁vanessa is like her little self in the movie outfit with the hair but shes like a blonde one, in tld oswald is like red but he looks more like a cartoon (see him in this from a comic I did a few months back)

but I've never quite been able to decide on one for crazy weem and as much as you'd be like "but hellokitty1fan.. he's THE yellow rabbit just make him a yellow rabbit!!!" well that's where you're WRONG 🖐 because yes he does appear as that, if you've seen the scary red face thing from the old game page *you know*, but that's spring bonnie that's the Costume, that's not HIM and that's such a huge thing in this game the separation between his characters he plays and when you take the masks away .

.

so. back to billiam the toy.

I figure the best way to differentiate this would be. to make him purple. the audience claps and cheers at my genius. no but actually I kind of want to come up with this weird looking sleazy cartoon rabbit design .. maybe like fat cat from chip and dale core.. it's different than the ballader bunny from the game over screen I think but it just inherently looks fucking weird. would be awesome imo .. crazy ass game that appeals to audience of ???? but yknow it's cool

this rabbit thing keeps coming up all the time because I love itttttt grips grips grips chair but also they get me when the visual representation of the character is surreal🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 especially during this thing.. in chapter 5.. I think this will prove especially fucking awesome

SORRY THIS IS WHAT IVEBBEEN DOING.. IM TRYING TO BALLAD😣 im in a different kind of hellscape of the mind rn what they say is true that nobody picks their hyperfixations. ill try to get back in the mood but its really hard rn ...

I think for the intro stuff im gonna do all the credits in a few slides with like single colored doodles in the same style as the pause menu icons, this should feel more like ahh this is an opening to a game rather than still image
