Stardew Project (Studview? Stardude?) (Patreon)

October's here and so too is the first mod project for Patreon!

I'll be working on a Stardew Valley mod with a sprite and portrait overhaul for all npc characters with the goal of adding beefy Bachelors and some other male characters. I've already dabbled a little bit on the look and style but still experimenting with the color palette and rendering.

Shane is up first as for October, I'll be trying to work on all his sprites and portraits.

I want to disclose to everyone that my work is being heavily based on the original sprite work of jpivot over on tumblr. At first, it seemed like their project was dead and I was hoping to adapt it to my game but very recently they showed they were planning on continuing the project so I don't want to go forward without crediting first. You can find their current blog here and their old sprite work that I'm referencing here.

The major difference in style is that I want to keep heads relatively the same size so the bodies appear larger and each buffed character will occupy as much of the sprite resolution (maximum height as it were). I'm still debating whether I like the actual portrait style I currently have or if I should render them more detailed.

Also worth noting that I still want to get some spooky art in for October while also dabbling in commissions here and there. Will be busy for sure. Sorry if this isn't everyone's ideal reward moving forward but know that I do hope to take breaks as to not get burned out on just one project and do something else here and there.
