Interesting that they used a screenshot from the trailer instead of title screen

I made another album this time based on Blame! Something new and different, but still in line with "music for something that exists without a soundtrack" like with the Shadow Tower album, in a way. It was a lot of fun, Blame was a great read youtu.be/oABuIMG_aD8

It's possible, can't recall which program I used (doesn't matter much, it's pretty simple). Old HD died shortly after but it was v old, probably clone onto an empty drive so you don't accidentally delete anything. You have 2ish more years of extended security updates before needing to figure it out

Just beat Spriggan: Lunar Verse... twice! I thought the Moonlight Sword would be a secret, but it just gives it to you. I wonder how many people have even played this game, or even got the sword

Cool! I'm gonna play those eventually (being Fromsoft-adjacent), I've been getting into manga since reading Spriggan so if you want help proof reading when you start working on that again I'd be down to contribute :-)

Happy late birthday to Evergrace (I forgor), absolutely one of the games of all time that has changed my perspective on art (for better, I hope). I'm glad a game like this exists, and I never would've discovered it without making the Fromsoftware series. Here is my favorite audio glitch to celebrate

I made a Shadow Tower-inspired album in an attempt to create music for the game. I always wanted to make tracks for Shadow Tower since the game was lacking music, and here is what I came up with. It's pretty simple given this is my first time seriously making music www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU6o...

Initially I used text from this Fromsoftware 1998 calendar, the text is still there in the final thumbnail but is barely visible, I thought it was too cluttered and didn't fit in

Certified Bug™ @cryveil.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Forgot that I also used text from this Fromsoftware promo poster for "The Third Lighthouse" which was an ambiguous announcement for a new game after King's Field, Armored Core, & Shadow Tower. It was either hinting towards Echo Night or just the direction of the company moving forward

Certified Bug™ @cryveil.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

So it really was as simple as using the boat background (+ logo), the one clean Crea render from the game, and the blue stone render also from the game. Making it one of the least complex or chaotic thumbnails for one of these videos but fitting for a subtle game like Echo Night.

Certified Bug™ @cryveil.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

There are only a few widespread Crea renders, pretty much everything either uses the side profile or the glancing side profile. More renders exist but were sparsely used from what I could gather

Certified Bug™ @cryveil.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

For the Echo Night thumbnail, I wanted to try and recreate the ghostly look of Crea, although I didn't have much variety in print material for this one, so it was a pretty simple design

oh yes, i will also share the art i did for cryveil's evergrace video :) shadow tower is fun isn't it. i felt like i was storyboarding again, it was very nostalgic... 🍁 i didn't think i'd end up animating parts either, but i just felt like "these scenes are so important, i have to!!"

I've said it like a dozen times but I will say it a million more, the Evergrace video wouldn't have been this big or complicated without your work!!! The novel translation was still enough to inspire me to do a whole dramatic voice acted scene & it was petty funny to read through the abridged parts

I also skipped over some PS1 games to jump to Eternal Ring & Evergrace, now I gotta go back too, I should finish covering all fromsoft's PS1 games by the end of next year :]

That'll likely be a 2027 project for me though, I have other FromSoft games to cover before EG2 and I also wanna take a little break from this game 🥲

For Evergrace 2, depending on how it goes, I might involve more people or other artists. I don't think I'll do exactly the same stuff and I still have to play the game, but since there's a Light Novel there might be some scenes I can do similarly

Certified Bug™ @cryveil.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

I'll pass the message onto the other artists! I really appreciate everyone who worked with me on this, it was very experimental for me as I've never put a voice acted scene in a video before and it turned out great thanks to all of them. Also I'll gladly take 2nd place next to peak 🐝

Thank you, I really gave it my all and wanted the Evergrace video to be special since it doesn't get a lot of coverage I think the editing is a result of evergrace-induced psychosis that will never truly leave me now :,)

And this is the final result. This is probably the most time I spent on single thumbnail (usually they take me <2-3 hours, but this one took me days). There's a lot of layering/blending involved, but hopefully you can see all of the individual elements and where they came from
