QuoteWith my newest ZZT project finally done, I finally had the energy to make some art that I had been putting off for months.
Two new ZZT-style portraits have been added to the Visual Art (https://samarantes.neocities.org/works/art/) page! Both are characters from my friend Snorb's lovely (and trolly) La Vie Moderne de FRANCHISE (https://museumofzzt.com/collection/view/la-vie-moderne-de-franchise/) ZZT series.
Mariko Raingrace is a modern druid with a bit of that Sailor Neptune drip. If you mess with the trees, you mess with her.
Thea Landen is the notorious ZZT Bandit, if she were in indefatigable genki girl XD. She may be fun, but watch your pockets if you're around her. (Also, yes she's named after a character from Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom. Why do you ask?)

ADDENDUM: 2025-12-18
QuoteMinor update: I was talking with Snorb the other day, and he mentioned that he wished that he had told me to draw his character's Mariko's hair like Rydia (from FF4 DS), rather than like Sailor Neptune. Not being one to disappoint a friend, I redrew her hair (don't worry the original pic is still available).
As always, it's on the art page (https://samarantes.neocities.org/works/art/).
