Over the past 5 months, I have been working on developing the art style of my in-development Dragon Marked For Death fangame, A Fire Made of Snowflakes. In it, I am trying to make an "advanced" form of the art style I developed for BLEED RUNNER​ back in 2022. 2.5D pixel art styles are some of my favorites to work with since, for me at least, creating 2D sprites is faster than making 3D models and making 3D environments is faster than making 2D environments. So, in this post, I go over the techniques, thought processes, and scripts that I use to present the art style of AFMOS so far.

Major Spoilers for Dragon Marked For Death ahead!

It’s been almost four years since my friends over at DMFD Fanonworks first came together to talk about lorestuffs. At the time, pretty much every one of us was writing wildly different stories within the world of Remlia. Before I finally got a copy of the DMFD World Settings book, we’d sum up what little we could get from the game and our in-game adventures to make our characters into our own. From there, the story became ours, more of a Dungeons and Dragons type thing than the common definition of JRPG.
