Did half of this a while ago, couple of days after or during Inktober. Just now had the feeling that I should re-do them all. I do love how goofy the second westerner looks, a stupidly big rock guy with lanky arms and a funky chin.
I was wondering whether to do like some little walk cycle animations for these bozos, but I don't know if that's within my pay grade. [No paygrade]
Also the v2 of the northern drifter fucks, all the other ones are sore loosers in the sex game.
And the frog guy is not gay. [this regards Chop]
#hld drifter#hyper light drifter#alt biome drifters#I'm still planning on doing the diseased guy and the dirk guy#again: frog guy's not gay

Drifters chatting
I drew this from my screenshot that I made :">
Do you also come and sit beside Alt every time you visit the swordmaster or it's just me?

sharp halo
"Sharp Halo" is (was? will be?) a Hyper Light Drifter fic. The title comes from the extremely geometric shape of the halo that appears around the Jackal's head in cutscenes - however the Drifter himself would be sporting such a halo for Plot Reasons.
Here's a snippet featuring the eponymous glow:
Moving towards her – she dove aside on the platform behind a loading device to avoid it – a mass of darker-than-black shot through with venomous pink tore past her up the stairs. A light chased it. No, Light chased it. She caught a glimpse of the Drifter sprinting and bounding up the side of the stair wall after it; a vicious glow obscured his form. A sharp-edged, diamond-shaped halo surrounded him. So bright it dazed her as he passed.
"Light", the Drifter, absorbs the entirety of the Immortal Cell's power, but ends up becoming an entirely different person as a result. The planning for this one got away on me; I liked the implication in some of HLD's supplemental stuff that there are figures that align with the Major Arcana of the Tarot. I wanted to run with that idea and have these figures exist as archetypes that a being can ascend to and become, and have the fic explore the gamut of baleful and benevolent archetypes that the Drifter, Alt Drifter (POV in above snippet), and Guardian have to deal with.
I loosely plan to revisit this one some day but for now the project planning is too sprawling to be manageable, and I might want to wait for the release of Hyper Light Breaker for more inspiration.

HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER AU SALES PITCH
aka alka and i played hld for over 6 hours and i got them attached to it by making it into a hijack au in between dying in stupid ways
okay hld character assignments or "trust me bro" the post
jack: the drifter. it's all there. came from the north looking for the immortal cell to cure himself, hiccup finds and saves him in front of the library. his hub is a little tooth fairy
hiccup: the guardian, IT'S ALL THERE x2 guardian of the town aka berk, became a drifter looking for the cell after the death of his parents from (sorry stoick and valka it's backstory). his hub is a small toothless robot he's very attached to
man in the moon: the jackal, chooses worthy people to become drifters and find the immortal cell to destroy it and pitch, restoring his powers and stopping the corruption
pitch: judgement, a scientist from a previous age infected by the immortal cell and now locked in a war with the man in the moon for control of the cell's wellspring/power to destroy the world as he spreads corruption through the world and disease to drifters
astrid: the weapons master, she's got her dojo and trains people 💪 she's right next door to hiccup and always down for a spar
tooth: dash master, next door to astrid, they hang out at each other's places when tooth sword trains and astrid tries to get better at dashing with the best teacher around
heather: alt drifter/altie, sees jack in passing but hangs out at astrid's dojo and stays with hiccup when she's around
sandy: the librarian, a long gone drifter who compiled information into monoliths
north: the minotaur, runs the arena and had the same vision of the cell from man in the moon, but his drifter days are over and he now supports jack and hiccup
ruff and tuff: merchants in town, saved by hiccup from their shenanigans more than once
bunny: the techie, peddler of bombs and grenades. reluctant to sell them to jack
fishlegs: the traveler in south, investigating the old tech in the desert
snotlout: the bandit, except less of a dick and more of a nuisance who's still very good at upgrading guns
jamie: SOCCER KID he and jack ball together, jack loses every time
AND HLD SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT if anyone actually cares about that here. au story summary essentially
WARNING FOR MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH because this is major character death the game sorry there's no escaping that
jack comes down from the north looking for the immortal cell + cure for pitch/judgement disease, rescued by hiccup outside of the library after category 5 judgement disease moment. hiccup takes him back to town And Then They Were Roommates™️ so basically this all aligns with canon
they're both looking for the same thing because hiccup also had the immortal cell vision and has pitch/judgement disease, they decide to team up for the search. hiccup maps out the modules, they explore together, jack dashes to stupid places and gets stuck and alka laughs at me etc etc
AND THEN SOUTH
hiccup goes on ahead to map, jack doesn't join or even know he's gone, he's in town spending as much time as he can with the people there he's grown attached to, but he also knows they're both getting sicker and with no places left to go they're nearing the end of the line
he goes to the south to look for hiccup and finds him with a pile of slain enemies and a mortal wound, but even without that hiccup has been getting worse with each zone
hiccup tells jack about losing his parents and striking out on his own after the man in the moon gave him a vision, and in one final goodbye and hope to keep a memory, jack takes his cloak and toothless when hiccup dies. he goes through south on his own but it's not the same without hiccup there to snark with, be his partner, his GUARDIAN!!! and he drags himself through each battle
he finally heads to the abyss for one last stand off with pitch/judgement to destroy the cell, finally faces his demons and destroys it, freeing the man in the moon. the cell was never a cure though, and he's too far gone and finally accepts it. makes his way through the abyss with a fatal wound and baby tooth and toothless hubs by his side, and sees one last gifted vision of peace from the man in the moon before he leaves the world, and jack goes too to meet hiccup in the afterlife

AND SCENE.

here's my spotify wrapped reactions. click for more
okay i think spotify is just making up genres. what the hell is "pov: indie"
also why is indie game soundtrack my top genre- actually that might be because i used to play the celeste and hyper light drifter soundtracks a lot while doing schoolwork and stuff 'cause game soundtracks are designed to loop and the hld soundtrack in particular is pretty ambient. ok i GUESS.
proud to be autistic for these guys 🦩🎓🎤🌎 i did not expect to be in THAT percentile though what the fuck
and also 4 out of 5 of my top songs are from them. help
i may as well be the top listener for well rested in the world btw i have been listening to this song since 2022 and i still vibe to it every time
yes this is true. now let me loop songs as a free user spotify it's a basic freaking feature of any audio player
aaand here's the full thing. you may judge my music taste as you please
i will add alt text later i swear

Inktober 2018 - day 3: Roasted
A grill party with drifters and a few town people (only I didn’t manage to draw them because of my cold). ...Yep, this will do.
(I have a headcanon that Alt Drifter likes funny stories and she generally laughts a lot. I am not sure how I got this idea.)

My puter's in repairs so I had to steal a tablet [actually it's brother's tablet, he's being kind and has lent it to me], krita is very annoying on mobile but I'm managing.
Anyways, I had some thoughts about the sprites I did and created some mockups, very barebones and all. What I'm getting at is that I might be able to do some funky animations with these guys [just walk and/or runcycles]. But it makes me wonder if there'd be a way to mod the game to get them in it.
I get that the tall and wide guys could be harder to implement, but the v2northern or v1western could very well be just reskins of both the drifter and altie respectively. I'm no hackerman, but I might try something out, jump into some code and do some digging. [I'd love to get my hands on a mod similar to the HK's skin modding software]
I don't really have anything else to add, besides the fact that I'm gonna focus on something else now, do like some MH stuff or work on my own things.
