From sketch to sunlight ☀️ A before-and-after look at this CG of Robyn shielding her eyes for my visual novel game, #HueandMe. Little by little, her world is taking shape. 💜 #VisualNovel #Renpy #Otome #vndev #artprogress

Finished this CG for a dream sequence in my #visualnovelgame #HueandMe 💜 Two figures beneath the wisteria. Robyn doesn’t know who they really are. So why does their story keep finding its way into hers and Noah’s? I tried a more shadow play-esque style for these! 🥰 #vndev #otome #renpy #solodev

Finished this new CG (and its variations) of Noah and his special "friend" Aiko, for my #visualnovel game #HueandMe! Took a while to make sure this looks as heartwarming as I intended! Funny how I did CG of Aiko first before finishing her sprite. 😅 #vndev #renpy #otome

Working on a new CG for the demo of #HueandMe! Who is this curious "friend" Noah is sharing noodles with??? I've been really sick with a severe eczema flare up but I'm slowly getting back to it now that I can hold my tablet pen 🥲 #visualnovel #vndev #renpy #otome #solodev

One of my favorite CGs I've finished so far. Here's a sneak peek!👀 A moment of tension between Robyn and Noah... but what exactly is happening here? Were they arguing? Did someone finally confess something? Or is there something much bigger at stake? HMMMMMMM. #visualnovel #otome #vndev #renpy

New WIP sneak peek of a CG for my #visualnovel game, #HueandMe. Things are getting tense between Noah and Robyn! What could have caused this up-close confrontation?? 🤔😳 #vndev #renpy #otome #visualnovelgame #solodev

Here's a preview of a CG for #visualnovel game, with Noah blushing, the very moment that changes Robyn's colorless life! What could have cause such an intense fluster? 🤭❤️ #renpy #vndev #HueandMe #otome #solodev

Sketch preview of a tense CG between Robyn & Noah from my #visualnovel game #HueandMe! What could Noah be doing pissing her off in such close quarters?? More progress shots of this soon! #renpy #vndev #otome

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Sketches of two more characters that will appear in my #visualnovel game, #HueandMe! Both are incredibly eccentric in their own special ways. They won't appear yet on the demo, but look forward to meeting them later on! #vndev #renpy #otome #solodev

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Noah's intro CG is in the works! Here's a peek of the concept sketch compared to the current WIP. Our golden boy is glowing <3 Tried to make him look more mature than a soft young boy to reflect his (curiously hidden) elven nature. #HueandMe #visualnovel #otome #renpy #vndev

Cleaned up some quick mini cut-in CGs for the prologue of my #visualnovel, #HueandMe. Technically they're unnecessary but I feel like these quick little scenes add a lot to the narrative. Agh, when you have the power of art in your hands! Where is Robyn rushing off to?? #vndev #renpy #otome

051

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Finished cleaning up this prologue CG for my #visualnovel game, #HueandMe. There are 3 more variations with little differences that will appear in the demo. What could that plant play in all of this??? #vndev #renpy #otome #solodev

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

New finished #visualnovel CG update for #HueandMe, in color and monochrome, for Robyn's introduction scene! She shades her eyes from the sun, searching for something out of reach. Cursed to see the world in grayscale but still chasing its light. 🌑 #vndev #otome #renpy

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Finished this park background for my #visualnovel game, #HueandMe! Took me so much longer than I anticipated, never thought an empty park turned out to be difficult to work on. Will post progress shots soon. Love all the details I managed to sneak in. #vndev #renpy #solodev

After my hiatus, working on Robyn's intro CG. Cleaning up this sketch and taking parts off my character sprite so I don't have to draw everything from scratch! Lazy? Yep. Efficient? definitely. will clean and refine them after, so they're not blurry/pixelated! #visualnovel #vndev #renpy #solodev

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Working on a new background! Wistfall’s riverside park. Still a rough WIP but already one of my fave views. From here you can see the Harmony bridge spanning across the Mere river (with it's waterfall) and in the distance, Wistfall’s skyline & floating islands. #HueAndMe #visualnovel #vndev #renpy

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Here’s a scene where Robyn isn’t amused by Noah’s observations about her apartment! To be fair... her interior design choices are a little unconventional (being colorblind & all). But Noah seems far too entertained by that fact. 😅 #vndev #visualnovel #otome #renpy #hueandme #solodev

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Finished my second background for #HueandMe! Robyn's studio apartment. Took me a week and had to hold back on trying to keep on adding more things 😅 I'll share the progress shots on IG soon! #vndev #renpy #otome #visualnovel

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

CG sneak peek! Working on a messy sketch of an early scene of Noah and Robyn from #HueandMe. Playing around with lighting and mood :D Can anyone guess what's going on? TwT #renpy #otome #vndev #visualnovel

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Suzie's and Vidar's sprites are finished! I know they're only side characters but I want to put as much love into their looks. Happy with how Vidar's expressions turned out with his beard/stache. Not too happy with Suzie's fairy form, might revisit that. #renpy #visualnovel #otome #vndev #hueandme

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

I finished the first BG for #HueandMe, the office stairwell! Robyn will be spending a lot of time here to contemplate & having unexpected conversations. ^w^ The game is in black and white (mostly) so I tried to make sure they read well in monochrome. #vndev #renpy #otome #visualnovel

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Been a while since I updated! Here are Noah's & Robyn's sprites finished! Updated Noah's face as well to make him more handsome. I gave them so many expression layers to make sure they feel more alive in their... er, expressions. 😅 #HueandMe #vndev #renpy #visualnovel #otome #Solodev

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Did sketches of this boy's expressions! A side character from my visual novel game #HueandMe! a little ironic because he's a shy guy, but i loved giving him a larger range of expression options xD let's see if I can use them all! #vndev #renpy #visualnovel #otome #solodev

050

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Cleaned up a little another side character from my visual novel game #HueandMe! He's a dwarf, seemingly new to town, that Robyn comes across. What role will he play in Robyn and Noah's lives? Had fun adding small details. Need to play around his values some more. #vndev #renpy #otome #visualnovel

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Finalized Suzie's design, a side (but veeeery important, as she would insist) character from my visual novel game #HueandMe! And here she is too in her six inches little fae form! #renpy #vndev #visualnovel #solodev #otome #renpy

080

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

CG sketch of Noah's first blush (and first ever color) that Robyn sees! Had a lot of fun writing this scene out. Can't wait to clean this up and do small variations. :D #hueandme #visualnovel #vndev #renpy #otome #visualnovelgame #solodev

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

Improved Noah's blocky hair the other night made it more organic and detailed. Looks more relaxed now, I think? I also worked on his modular expressions, mixed and match some of them here. Can't wait to clean him up. #visualnovel #vndev #hueandme #otome #art #sketch #renpy

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

Cleaned up a while back some chibis of Robyn and Noah! Look at those little pointy elf ears!!😭 Did also a "black and white" version, gotta see how Robyn sees Noah in her point of view hihi. 🥰 #visualnovel #hueandme #vndev #otome #renpygamedev #renpy

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

WIP sketch of Suzie! A side character from my visual novel game #HueandMe! Noah and Robyn's steely fae boss. She’s six inches tall when it’s convenient & terrifyingly efficient when it’s not. Can't wait to share her little fae form soon! :D #vndev #hueandme #visualnovel

Blocked the phone texting UI (using Nighten's template) & have the backgrounds blur out when objects appear on top for my visual novel game #hueandme! I'll be polishing the graphics later, I realize I have to redraw my own emojis to black and white to fit my game's look😅 #otome #vndev #visualnovel

050

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Back from vacation! Started refining Robyn's clothes & sketching in her expressions! I plan on using Renpy's LayeredImages system for the characters to make it easier, having each part of her face separated to mix & match. WHAT A CUTIE🥹 #hueandme #visualnovel #vndev #visualnovelgame

✨Full version of my initial key art sketch from my visual novel game #HueandMe! ✨ I recently changed (again😅) Robyn's default outfit so I'll be redoing this sketch before I clean it up😍 Do you feel the tension between her and Noah? ☺️ #vndev #visualnovel #otomegame #otome

✨ First intro CG sketch of Robyn! MC of my visual novel game #HueandMe She shades her eyes from the sun, searching for something out of reach. Cursed to see the world in grayscale but still chasing its light. 🌑☀️ Been busy this past week! But back to sharing stuff! #visualnovel #vndev #otome

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

✨Here's the character sprite wip of Noah, the male lead of my visual novel game #HueAndMe! ✨ Polite to a fault until he’s not. Carries a pocket book, quotes poetry when flustered, and smirks like he knows exactly what he’s doing to Robyn. She’s not impressed. (She is.) #otome #visualnovel #vndev

Neondust - Hue & Me @neonduststudio.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

✨Character sprite sketch of Robyn, the MC of my #visualnovel game #HueAndMe! ✨ Robyn tends to overthink everything. Loves photography but hates being in photos 📸 and notices the little things most people miss.
