They look amazing!
I love how cheerful Amelia looks when stylized. You do a great job of making her recognizable, even in a more minimal form. I also really enjoy the little alien head off to the side (and the occult images around Dolly).
Erika also looks great. I'm especially impressed by the way you managed her very distinct, slightly haphazard look. Even without seeing too much of her clothes, they feel somewhat hand-repaired, and you've captured her hair adornment nicely. I'm also really impressed with her eyes; you gave her this perfect driven, dangerous look that's subtle at the same time.
Moving to Dolly, I'm again struck by your clothing capabilities and the emotion you bring to expressions. It can be hard to hit a sort of neutral/placid without it coming off as flat, but you've done great here; she looks contemplative and just a bit downcast. I also think the frills of her unique style look good; she has a very oldschool vibe but also doesn't feel like she'd be entirely out of place walking to the grocery store.
I love how you made Lizzie's eyebrows just a bit darker--it really makes them pop in a prominent fashion without being over the top. I also think her smile/smirk is great; it can be either innocent or mischievous depending, perfect for her.
You got a really great look of alarm for Ned, but at the same time he looks like he's sort of going to unsurely try to deal with whatever it is that has him worried--I think that comes from the implied body language/stance. This is one of the ones that really screams "island" to me.
Ramsey, meanwhile, looks kinda downcast. I can't say exactly why, put the angle of his head vs. the angle of his hat is really nice; it's like the hat would normally be jauntily upwards, but assumes a more normal position relative to the ground because his face is lowered.
Dane looks super stressed, and I can sorta imagine why. At the same time, I like that he still looks polished, like he's been trying to keep up face; his posture is a lot more confident, and I think a lot of that's in the sharp lines you use for his face and the collar and the style of his glasses.
Finally, it's cool seeing Declyn from behind. He comes off as contemplative, and I enjoy how much character you're able to work into him with just an ear, part of an eye, and his nose visible of his face. You do a really good job with perspective.
These are all amazing and you rock for making 'em!

I always knew Lizzie would look great in your style and I was not disappointed! What a fun surprise to see her drawn out. Thanks!

I was looking through my folder and here's some (mostly old) stuff I haven't posted here/only in chat

Uuuggghhhhh I was gonna comment on Cecil and Declyn when they were first posted but I got too sad and then RL jumped me.
That said, I wanna talk about them anyways because I think the reason they make me so sad is how well you've captured the... let's call it the experience of mundane caring and joy. It's just this casual, everyday comfort and affection that pervades every aspect of them. They look comfortable (and maybe a bit weary) on the left, as Declyn hugs Cecil from behind. They're more intimate on the upper right, with Cecil looking just a bit more the one out of his depth (compared to where they're standing and he's the pillar). And then, on the bottom right, they just look so happy together. These could be snapshots from a great day's excursion, or candid pictures from a party.
And, throughout, I'm so impressed by how clearly each of their personalities shines through. Cecil never looks less than dignified. A lot of that's in his posture, I think; you've made him ever-so-slightly formal in his stance, but in a way where it's just how he carries himself rather than something put on. Declyn, by contrast, is more loose and casual, more prone to expressive movements and emoting on his face. It does such a great job of capturing both of their aesthetics in the game, and brings me back to all their moments together, spanning from Pregame until a couple days ago.
And now I'm sad again. ;-;
I'm so glad to see the chat stuff make the jump, especially 'cause I missed some of it the first time around!
I am totally all about werewolf Henry and vampire Min-jae. I really enjoy the color vs. black and white; it puts me in mind of old horror movies which is perfectly thematic given the subject matter. It's fun seeing you in more fantasy/supernatural mode, too. You bring the inhuman characteristics out while still giving them a quite human stance/emotion. I can feel the chemistry bubbling between them, and I like how you've used Min-jae's piercings to draw attention to his fangs. And I also like how Henry looks so innocent that you almost miss that he's holding a heart at first.
The more close-up shots of Count Jae are also wonderful. I feel like you've captured the wide range of teen quasi-goth emotions and styles, from "I want to be in Evanescence" to "Halloween is my favorite holiday!" The lip rings are doing work again, and I love love love the gleam in his eye in the far right shot in the first set--it shifts from teen vampire to, like, cyberpunk in a way I can't quite explain but adore.
I think I may have talked about the haunted house shots in chat back when they came up? They're amazing, absolutely 100%, and I think scream for canonization more than almost anything else we've had. The Memories forum is still open! You can still show up even if you're dead!
The cheerleader pile-up has me in stitches, especially Ivy's face. It is perfect. In fact, all of the faces are perfect. Does the SOTF Discord have custom emotes? Can we just get an entire set from these? You catch so many different sides of shock and fear in that still-safe-and-fun way that Haunted Houses are, and it really brings me back to going through the one Irene's school put on every year. I think Cecil captures my style the most, just sort of blue-screening.
Also of note: I think you've done so well getting just a normal, fun, everyday dynamic going on here, and some of these hurt in hindsight. Julien and Faith look like such a solid, friendly pair, united in the face of probably a dude in a rubber mask with a chainsaw, so different from how they ended up in the game. And Axel, Declyn, and Lorenzo is a flashback to much more innocent times. I particularly enjoy how Lorenzo is part spooked, part spooky.
Your sketchier groups shots (the winners and the gay party boy brigade) have such a great sense of fun and personality to them. You do so much with mouths, eyes, and glasses, and just convey this total sense of everyone involved having a blast. It reminds me a lot of some webcomics I used to follow. I also appreciate how you paired each character to the proper pose to give a nice sense of, like, what they're about despite the totally wild situations depicted. And Sydney in the jail always has me toppling over in stitches.
The more passionate, colored shots are also wonderful and are I think mostly or all new to me. I'm always amazed by how much attention you pay to body language and posture, how much you can convey through hand placement and subtle differences in angle of face or relative height of heads. And once again, these go back to happier times. It's really, really hard for me to believe we've seen so many of our Pregame cast slip away now (and cool to see a few who I think didn't make it to the full game once again).
Also, the three more direct busts are all also super emote-worthy. Declyn looks soooo embarrassed, like the sort you get when someone said something flattering but also also mortifying. And directly to the left of him, that sweat! Those muscles! And the hand kiss is so very slick and mysterious.
I wish I could go on and on more but I'm half-awake at best because work was ten hours by surprise today and my focus is shot. ;-; You're totally amazing and I love these. Thank you for sharing them!

D'awwww. I can't wait to interact with them, but we need to kill off all these squirming little bastards first.
My tired goth will probably look great in your style (and you'll probably actually want to draw an aesthetic like his) so that makes me even more eager to timeskip.
