oh nuts I totally lost track of what day this was updated. i had best force something out
////////////////////

yes this again, but now all its movements are filled in! not all fully shaded and I would like to make them look more cohesive and fish-like, but for now i can focus more on the beet crony. and also displace that text heap from last week that was not meant to be such a heap or have a week’s worth of prominence. i occasionally worry that this blue creature looks too much like the gobliins 2 character winkle even though i feel like i have considered and dismissed this before. i don’t want it to be yellow because then it looks related to the larger creature. green and red feel too generic, though. meepwhile grey and brown are too boring and orange simply doesn’t suit it.

winkle has a similar skin tone, head point and sharp nose, although its nose is not a beak, it lacks a tail and wears clothing. winkle has a mischievous nature and of the two heroes is the one more likely to annoy another character and be physically abused on account of it. Although the frog in my example yells at both of them. I used to collect sprites from this game a long time ago in windows 95 before the dosbox emulator existed, and goblins 3’s odd use of the video mode made them too scrambled to grab when windowed, but the collection was one of few pictures I accidentally deleted! I attempted to remake it via proper screenshots once I knew how to do that but I did not feel as inspired and consequently it is lacking in gobliins 2 poses.
