Little timelapse!

Edit 23rd Apr 2022: it was brought to my attention that I forgot that the original 2P was black/dark skinned in Soul Calibur VI’s 2B colour palette version when she first appeared! I don’t play the games she appears in (like Reincarnation) and it’s been ages so I wouldn’t have thought/remembered of it. So when I was asked why she isn’t black, I was confused, slow and didn’t connect the dots at first.

Thanks for correcting me! I feel terrible for working from the wrong game as a reference.

I was following Final Fantasy 14′s design as that was more in my recent game watching memory with my screenshots and thought that was the design to follow – if I had remembered I would have followed the original dark skin tone from the beginning.

My apologies. I didn’t do enough research beyond FF14.

I didn’t realise/think following FF14’s version would be an issue because I thought they would have been consistent in the design and didn’t remember that it was different and that it was white washed. Whoops :S

Wait why was 2P even whitewashed in FF14?! That’s super disappointing, I thought they would be better 🙁

I have gone back and made the changes below this morning! The contrast between 2B and 2P looks so much better 😀

Happy NieR series anniversary with 2B and 2P! 🖤🤍

The NieR: Automata story in Final Fantasy 14 was a thing when I watched it! I had to read up on it as I couldn’t really catch the lore whenever streamers played it at the time. It leaves me with more questions :’)

Endless cycle of ups, downs and the mundane.

Become as gods 🙏

Just wanted to draw a quick 2B so I might as well mirror in 2P too!

Anyway I still haven’t caught up reading the rest of NieR lore and the wiki since I last played but I hope to get back to it one day when I’m not as gloomy and overwhelmed!

I haven’t been too productive generally; it gets out of hand at times and becomes too big of a timesink so I’m trying to quit do *much* less of reading sappy, romantic, trashy, fluffy, addictive stories so I’m blocking myself away from those for most days of the week and binging in the remaining days..in effect since yesterday night. Ah I have tried that and it didn’t last – I think a limited, designated, downtime window each day would be better instead of intense binging sessions and getting overwhelmed trying to catch up :’)

All the same I need to limit this method of escaping from the reality that is the emptiness of my soul. Shall try my best to stick to it more strictly from here :<

Anyhoo that’s my reflective thoughts for this post; take care!
