Been playing a lot of Stardew Valley and wanted to try my hand at drawing the villagers. Starting with- definitely not biased or anything- Sam!

~Merry Krombus and Happy Holidays~

Giftee: @shappoxs

Your characters are so cute, and I had a lot of fun drawing them ^-^ Sal specifically- I really liked his eyes, they turned out so mischievous LMAO and thank you to @olnfsecretsanta2024 for this event!

Let's all just pretend this was posted perfectly on time and its still Halloween pls, life hit me with a fucking bat at the end of last month and I only just got free-

Happy (late) Halloweeeennn! Edwin is supposed to be an alien idk if you can tell.

HI THERE its your secret santa here!

just curious on if theres any info you can give me on edwins interactions with other characters? like how do they act with everyone and are there any people who they act differently around?

Sorry! I've been preoccupied lately.

Edwin is usually a very shy person, he wants to get along with everyone but he's hesitant to step forward if that makes sense. I've had this idea in my head that if he likes or is comfortable with someone he'll show it by giving them things. (If that's confusing think of it as similar to a crow giving trinkets LMAO he'll just start sharing things, like snacks, toys, a cool rock, etc.)

With Tamarack he'd be more playful. Since she tends to just charge forward, I think he'd be drawn into the energy of it as a kid. She could probably talk him into trouble if she wanted. They often explore the forest together and play pretend.

With Qiu I think he's the most relaxed and comfortable (other than his mom ofc). I think Qiu's confidence with handling other people would help him feel less anxious, and in turn Edwin checks in on Qiu a lot too. I like to think they trade notes a lot in and out of class since Winnie doesn't really talk. Anywhere between full sheets of conversation and just silly doodles.

With Ren he didn't like her at first, purely because Ren didn't like Tamarack and that was his bestie. As things calm down between those two though, Edwin finds he actually really likes hanging out with her (and the rest of the boy's club). I can't think of anything specific tho..

With Baxter pretty similar to Ren, except he looks up to Baxter. He thought he was kinda of intimidating at first then thought he was really cool.

Sorry, if this is a bit everywhere. Hopefully this helps!

"How did you get in my house, Qiu?"

"Hi. :3"

Can this count for my Halloween post? lol Reference photo below:

Hey anonymous person here for no reason whatsoever!

Since your OLNF oc is a selective mute, I was just wondering if Edwin there are any instances or places/people he would say something small? Also does it change later on in the game?

Hello!

Hmmmmmmmmmm! I think he'd the most comfortable in his home, or maybe in Qiu's secret hideout since there's not likely to be anyone around. Basically anywhere quiet and comfy.

As for people it'd be his mum mostly, and Tama and Qiu when he's more comfortable with them. By step 2 maybe even the rest of the boys club. All in all while he gains more confidence he stays on the quiet side throughout his entire life.

✨ Fields of Mistria's 1st Major Update is coming Nov 18th! ✨

We'll be sharing some sneak peeks and additional details over the next month! You can also check out the full roadmap on our website.

very patiently waiting to romance this man- I could fluster him- What who said that?

You don't understand how hard it made me laugh to draw Adeline's chibi. It might be my favorite part of this

ImBeingVeryBraveHere- OCs from something I've been working on

(And then they kiss- jk- unless)

From the Life of the Sun

"Do you ever wonder if the sun yearns to see the moon that little bit longer? Such simple beauty, made of the same light but somehow with an ethereal twist. Or perhaps it burns with envy, for she lives an eternity without the burden of bearing light. Of life."

(two more pics under the cut)

Hello! I wanted to ask about your OC for Our Life Beginnings and Always!

Simply put, during the Steps, what was their (going gender neutral to be on the safe side) comfort and interest levels?

Hope this made sense! Thank you!

Hi! Cadence goes by He/him pronouns :) Since he's a very blunt character, I kept him with the Direct comfort level the entire game.

Step 1- Indifference. I like to think they didn't get along at all, but just kinda had to make it work during summers bc of their parents.

Step 2- Crush. I kind of wish you could develop it as you play, bc I think it would've been really cute to see them go from frenemies to awkward crushes. LMAO But as far as I could tell it's locked in.

Step 3&4- Love. This is the era of them being the ClingyDuo ™️

Cadence over the years with Cove for scale (click on pic for better resolution)

Ask away if you have any questions about my OCs, I finally have asks open.

Some WIPS from today- I just couldn't focus on anything 😭

I have both too many thoughts on this and none at all-

Cadence Drew (OLBA): I can't imagine in step 1 he did any after school activities, he was very standoffish and would rather spend more time on the beach. From step 2 onwards though he took guitar lessons! And probably some kind of art class/club, he gets very into pottery. In my highschool the art teacher used to let us hang out in the art room during lunch, so I like to imagine that's where Cadence spent most of his time. (Also yes, haha his last name is Drew and he became an artist)

Edwin 'Winnie' Porter: Edwin loves space, if he spoke he could rant about it for literal hours. He's a lil nerd. So I'd imagine he takes some kind of science club, or creative writing. He likes reading about myths and legends (especially if they're connected to constellations), so I think he'd enjoy getting to write his own. I don't know what clubs the game is going to offer, so I haven't made any solid decisions for him yet.

OUR LIFE WRITERS AND ARTISTS!

I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MCS AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITY/CLUB IS!

i rarely see people talk about/draw their MCs club or after activity

ClingyBois <3

I know it's not possible in game (or at I'm p sure it isn't) but I think it'd be so freaking cute if your mc and Cove could accidentally propose at the same time-

In case you can't read my handwriting:

Cove's ring looks like a wave or a dolphin fin. While Cadence's ring is fairly simple (as he would prefer) with his favourite gem: Pearl. :)

Back on that Our Life: B&A brain rot- Here's step 4 Cadence!

Fun fact: It is actually very easy to fluster Cadence, and Cove for sure takes advantage of that when they're older as revenge for Cade teasing him all of the time growing up.

DAY 6- Different Seasons

Bonus doodle under the cut!

I gave each of the cul-de-sac kids their own personal snowmen!

WIP for day 6 of OLNF week

I really wanted to draw my farmer again- This time in my style! I redesigned his first outfit a little bit and added his next two outfits from summer. I looked up how to color scars, but I still struggled a lot trying to pick an accurate color so if you think it looks off pls tell me!

Also, I changed their name. It's Levine now. (Eyvind was too close to Eiland idk what I was thinking LOL)

Day 5- Comfort

I like to think on days when dysphoria hits Qiu the hardest the cul-de-sac trio hide away in his fort together. And probably the rest of the boys' club when possible. This was part of a short comic, but I don't have the energy to finish it rn. I'll post the full thing later on.

wtf this is so cute ;-;-;-;-;-; INeedThemToMeet

(I promise to get back to olnfweek soon. this game has me in a chokehold tho)

Quick Dozy doodle-

I can't get over his hand on the chin pose- It looks so goofy

Me, flops down after work: I don't wanna work on anything...

Also me:

Expect Balor or Ryis next-

Day 4- Stargazing

------ small story and a bonus doodle below.

"Look! A shooting star!"

Winnie scrambled up next to Tamarack to see where she was pointing.

Qiu chuckled as he watched them, it wasn't often that they got to see Winnie so excited. He nudged them after a bout of awed silence.

"What are you going to wish for?"

Tamarack immediately began shouting different things that she wanted, but Winnie stayed silent. A different kind of silence then his usual, his face was scrunched up in thought and he had a fist pressed to his chin.

This was serious business.

"I..." Winnie began softly, voice barely above a whisper. Arms wrapped tightly around his stuffed sheep for comfort.

Qiu leaned closer eagerly to hear him better. This was the first time he'd ever heard Winnie speak; it was important that he heard everything!

Winnie looked away to escape their expectant eyes, "I just wanna be friends..."

Qiu frowned in confusion.

"Whaaaaatttttt?!" Tamarack echoed his confusion loudly. "But-! We are already friends!"

"Yeah," he agreed earnestly as he looked out the window for the star. It was gone. "Why'd you wish for something you already had?"

Winnie shrugged in answer, but he had a shy, pleased smile on his face.

Winnie and his mum! <3 She loves listening to him rant like a dork.

Finally got Fields of Mistria and it is so fucking pretty-

I'm not very far in yet but I like doodling so, here's my farmer Eyvind or Vin. Also, my first time doing pixel art! I struggled so much-

Here's the boy by themselves without background

Day 3- Memories

After Qiu and Tamarack began drifting apart, Tamma starts questioning her place with Edwin. As if he'd would lose his best friend that easily, after all they made a promise! Maybe it feels childish now, but Tamarack would always have a place in his life.

(My first ever comic page, the pacing feels a little weird to me, but I didn't feel like redrawing anything lol)

"I worry, Eden. What if... What if you're right and I don't need to listen to them? And- what if this isn't even me? I think that... Scares me more than failing again."

I'm back! (kinda, my schedule is a mess) Sad GillyWilly WIP

I won't have anytime to draw the next few days- ;-;-;-;-;-;-;

Here's some WIPs
