♤ ソウルシリーズにいつも男性キャラでやる理由

Why I only use a male character in souls-like games?
Because FROM isn't GUST.

フロムの世界をロリコンの目で見るとこうなる(*´▽`*)

↓ I said I'm not going to give it up!
Another long-term piece. The initial draft was out as early as November 20, 2017 (according to the draft jpg's property), when I was for the first time playing (and in love with) such a hardcore action game. Though, I can't recall exactly the reason for an Ornstein cosplay (and sorry I've removed the lion-head helmet), but I do remember the Four-Kings' winged grey outfit can be a pretty dress.
But since then, I barely had any motivation to get it finished until the second half of last year. Even though, after doing Ornstein's shining armour, I again got bored and couldn't follow my previous plan, that to get it done before this year.
And thus it's more delayed until yesterday, with a little surprise that the background was processed rather quick (less than 1 week). (;´∀`)
FoodOther ornaments omitted (at the draft stage):
- Onion Bro
- Mrs Eryngii
Things added/modified (at the outline stage):
- pet Kalameet. -w-
- great scythe replaced by Gargoyle's halberd (the latter has a better appearance IMO, always with an enchanted infuse)
Two new findings:
- Using the "watercolour" brush makes the perfect hair texture I want. (!important)
- Piling up random "dry gouache" and "pointillism" strokes with various "blend" methods and pattern overlays make appropriate bark and earth.
However, there's no much to say on background design as it's simply a reproduction.
実はね、昨年はフロムの女性キャラ(ボス)をモチーフにする絵を考えていたけど、これを終わらせるところもうアレを触れたくない。実際にできればすごく面白いけど、再現がムズくて萎えるわ、流石に。(;´д`)トホホ…

PHP/CSS update

Since the week (~2 weeks ago) when the weather dropped down to -30 °C, I decided to write a calendar script like MyO (for a nostalgic reason, probably), which then led myself into another code update (the config with JQuery wasn't a pleasant one).
A thing I've been struggled a lot was how to use perl to send POST info to PHP, but I haven't made anything work as I expected. When I was about to give up completely, I noticed the fantastic `` quote that can ask PHP to fetch Perl's printed results. It was exactly what I wanted, but eventually I didn't use it as I changed my plan. Yet, I'm mentioning this trick (or maybe not) here as a reminder for the uncertain future.
The renovated CSS went very fun. I this time again combined frame.css and colour.css together as it's more consistent. I've forgotten the reason of choosing "il mare dei suoni", but it surely happened after I restyled most blocks to have less rounded corners and used the pretty #16358c as the universal background. Maybe it's an implication that I shall remake my previous piece (I haven't decided what to paint next but at least this isn't under planning right now).
Also, through this huge layout rewrite I finally said goodbye to the "cherry cream soda" font, and integrated the less "comic" looking "Milonga". Although I wished to use something interesting as the default font, it probably won't be decent in terms of loading time so I'm stick to Yu Gothic.

Surface Duo looks cute and I'm looking forward to create a Gehrman in Nioh 2! (>ω<)
