    medpoc fan here hiii
    medicine pocket is a cross between a researcher/mad scientist and doctor you got that part spot on!
    they’re actually based off some experiments done in the 1990s where the university of utah would take beagles from shelters to use to for animal extermination
    they usually only experiment on themselves and their hair is is beagle colored which is because they’re represent the dogs/beagles themselves (seeing how they bite things and other dog stuff)
    their leveled up outfit has the brown/yellow underside of the coat turns purple which makes their color palette that of the intersex flag which could just be a coincidence but kinda cool

    So balloon party is basically someone who go to children's parties, heal the sick ones, and kill the abusive parents.
    I'm thinking about instead of gothic outfit, she could've wear something that is a mix between sweet and scary. Black and pink dress. The silhouette of the dress could be exactly like the original but instead of black and white, it's black and dark pink like her balloon color. Her dress would have random candies in random places just like her hair to show her party side. Maybe add some blood-like designs. Her hat should be a birthday party hat but make it stylish and again, both sweet and scary.

  • @benzylgroup7076
    @benzylgroup7076 3 месяца назад +31

    For Balloon Party, I quite like the indistinction for her face! Especially with her voice which is quite flat in tone, I feel like there's supposed to be less focus on the personhood and more on the party aspect. It's what she brings with her, if that makes sense. It kind of ties in with her second story where the opening line is:
    A strange woman had come to the town. She was wearing a strange costume and talking about strange things, but all the children had gathered by her side.
    As for her profession, she is asked if she is a doctor and claims "Yes, and no. Oh... Madam... Ms. ... Um, my "mouth friend"! In terms of title, I prefer "Party Animal" or "Party Maniac"! I'm happy when everyone's happy. That's right!" All in all, I highly doubt she has any medical training. In her second story, she cured a boy's broken leg overnight ("From the nurses' chitchat, I learned that Tommy's broken leg was cured overnight; the plaster on his leg appeared in the garbage station outside the town, mixed with balloon pieces"). There is another "doctor" called Kakania and she claims to be a psychiatrist, but that is only because of her arcane skills & knowledge of psychoanalysis and it was confirmed that she does not have a medical license

    • @keikou_vg7864
      @keikou_vg7864 3 месяца назад +13

    AHH Reverse 1999 content! Reverse 1999's art style, story, and overall the general vibe really attracted me towards the game and I'm glad to see other artists standpoints on their character designs! You're critiques and rubric really gave me great insight on what I'm slacking on my own characters, and honestly will probably be using it to gauge my own art :D.
    As for the possibility of AI, tbh I'm not too sure. So much of the art and design work seems to be carefully crafted, so I'm leaning on the side of disagreeing there's AI involvement (though there may be my personal enjoyment of the story and game giving me bias). Not too familiar on how professionally creating artwork for games like these work, but for some parts I've always just considered they may have digitally just painted over some of the things and due to not being a considered focal point of the design, maybe just never bother to fix it? Personal touch? Though that may be too generous of an assumption?
    Although, I think that kind of falls flat seeing how Balloon Party's design's vagueness alongside the random tidbits really just make the design a bit flawed. Miss the days when AI art wasn't something we'd regularly have to look out for

      ballon party is so weird, her i2 does feel like an actual drawing though, so it just makes me wonder if it was just clumsy elements blending together or if it was some early ai work since assumably production for the first couple characters happened around 2020-2021 before the huge ai boom.

    So about Fragrances - all character profiles in game presented as in-universe magazine articles and some of their pages are scented, like some perfume ads.
    And a thing about contrast - game itself is mostly dark, more often than not you will see M.Pocket and other white-on-white characters on black/brown/bordo screen and it reads completely different, then on white page.

    I love rev1999 for the fact they dont follow the same design rules as other gacha games or even anime-adjecent media as a whole. The clothes are easier to figure out since a lot of it is based on practical and even historical clothing so you have less of a headache drawing and cosplaying them with secondhand clothes

    During Regulus’s crit someone asked about character design books. The Silver Way by Stephen Silver was actually one of my textbooks for a class! It focuses a lot on character design for cartooning/Western Animation but everything he says can be adapted to other styles & mediums. Stephen Silver was the lead character designer on a lot of American shows like Kim Possible and Danny Phantom.

    Your review on Balloon Party I agreed completely on, since her first design was very much needing the changes from her upgraded design & splash art (e.g. Eye colour change and size increase/clarity of her bows and pins).

      (doesn't have to be next week, hope you're able to stay sane in 2024 and don't feel any form of "schedule, deadline, rush" while producing content you're familiar with and enjoy)

    APPLe is a Newton incarnation-like.
    So if we re adding accessories to him, i think it should be something in that way.
    Either a wig like the haircuts back then or a prism or prismaticlight patterns on his clothes.
    Or a small moon/planet gravitating around him.
    All his moves also involve either light prisms or gravitation during fights.

    I believe Reverse 1999 also has multiple artists (real ones). So I'm thinking that's why Arcane is a character, more like modern anime in design choice, where as Schneider looks anime-esque but definitely more similar to 2.0 pixel style like in Octopath Traveler. And I mean their full concept art in cutscenes, if anyone wondering. Not the gameplay artwork.
    Art can also be very different depending on one's mind. Not just limited to art either, for example H.P.Lovecraft. if he released the books today, people would (imo) say he used AI to create it, because, surely no one can be that strange and creative. That is very unfortunate.
    I am not saying you are wrong or not, not that you are accusing either, just trying to help with some context of why things could be abit off depending on someon's pov ❤

    Well, if you'd be interested in doing this for another gacha game, I'd love to see one of these for Limbus Company. There'd be a lot of stuff to do there since they have like 100+ playable units + like 50 ultimate abilities with unique art for each one. Not to mention the many NPCs and monsters.
    Seeing how long these streams take, maybe focusing on the 12 main characters(Sinners) in their base forms would be wise.
    I'd personally love to see you talk about them, because unlike most gacha characters, they all mostly wear the same uniform. So, I'd love to see how much about their personalities you can gleam from the way they wear that same uniform.
