H.C.Staff

So my contract with lolikit is up and I have provided the 150 hours we agreed on way back when. Here’s a breakdown:

• 16 hours – First background
• 29 hours – Male character designs (excluding CCY)
• 30 hours – Faces of CCY (10 expressions in all)

(Halftime Break)

• 30 hours – Rest of the characters (Fake Jason, Mike, Os, DarkMirage, IKnight, Erin, Patchouli)
• 15 hours – Second background
• 30 hours – Third background

I could’ve done two normal backgrounds in the time I spent on the third, but I figured it would be best to go all out and end this contract in dramatic fashion.

Yeah, the original bench wasn’t… eastern enough.

To lolikit: I sent you a Paypal request for the $300 we agreed upon. As for me, I have to get ready to go back to school in January. I may work more on your project in the future, but with school and all that, don’t expect much. I’ve learned that working on something “whenever I have the time” or “whenever I feel like it” eventually becomes “pretty much never”. I certainly wouldn’t think of charging you any more. Samukun and I suspended our project for a reason.

Anyway, while this hasn’t been fun all the time, it’s been a learning experience and I admit there were some good times. I only wish your game were more to my taste. Thank you for your business.

The final character with a sprite in the CCY project is the homeroom teacher. When I was brainstorming for ideas, I went to CCY’s site and asked the question: of all the characters he loves, who would he want as his teacher?

The answer was, of course, the girl who graces the top of every page on his site. The Librarian of the Scarlet Devil, the Embodiment of Bookworm Cuteness, Patchouli Knowledge. Yes, “Knowledge” is her last name, which means she’s even smarter than she would be if it was her middle name.

The cutest girl in the cast, sadly, is not dateable.

Now I can get back to work on backgrounds after what seems to be almost three months. First up is the corridor outside the classrooms.

Now here’s a surprise: lolikit has not only asked me to draw the backgrounds and the male cast, but a few side female characters as well. First up is the school nurse. The only specification I was given is “Needs cheesy, sexy nurse outfit.” Now as a student of the Kareha school of design, I’m not too good at sexy. But I’ll give it my best shot. And I can certainly do cheesy. It doesn’t get much cheesier than this, people:

I name her… Erin.

Wait till you see what the homeroom teacher looks like.
