"Who's Lila?" (movie poster mockup)

Digital collage for the videogame 'Who's Lila?' by Garage Heathen (available on steam) made with stock images from pexels.com.

Additional thoughts/info below the cut:

When I found out that there is an actual dithering tool/option in GIMP, I immediately remembered a little videogame called "Who's Lila?" and decided to try and make a mockup poster for it. It was really cool to see that I could (sort of) emulate the ditherpunk look of the game.

I like that the dithering effect makes it difficult to make out (at first) where the two pictures used overlap and which part belongs to which picture.

I have made a few other pieces in this style that I will hopefully post soon.

"Who's Lila?"

Aesthethic/Moodboard made with GIMP using stock images from pexels.com for the videogame "Who's Lila?" by Garage Heathen. Both the game and this piece of art use 'dithering' as an art style.

Thoughts beneath the cut:

My first aesthetic/moodboard! I challenged myself to make some art for media I liked using only stock images as well as trying to recreate the style used, and Who's Lila became an easy choice once I discovered the dithering option in GIMP.

I enjoyed trying out different color options, choosing and arranging the different pictures. Maybe in the future I will try out some of the different color palettes this game has to offer, for now, I decided to stick with the 'standard' one.

Making this gave me the inspiration and confidence to try out making different aesthetics for other art pieces/media as well, so that is an additional plus. I also made some more Who's Lila pieces as well.

"Who's Lila? - Lila" aesthetic/moodboard

Aesthethic/Moodboard made with GIMP using stock images from pexels.com for the character "Lila" of the videogame "Who's Lila?" by Garage Heathen. Both the game and this piece of art use 'dithering' as an art style.

Thoughts beneath the cut:

First character-based aesthetic! I think this turned out pretty well, considering I haven't made that many aesthetics yet. I slightly adjusted the settings I used from the last one and added a layer to make the colors pop a bit more. Also I love the picture for the "shh"/whispering/mystery part of Lila - the shirt saying 'stop' is a nice touch.

I also find it is a neat challenge for myself to try and emulate a specific artstyle; it is a good way to try out the various effects and filters while having a clear goal in mind.

"Who's Lila? -Wheeliam" aesthetic/moodboard

[sources: x / x / x / x / x ]

Aesthethic/Moodboard made with GIMP using stock images from pexels.com for the character "Wheeliam" of the videogame "Who's Lila?" by Garage Heathen. Both the game and this piece of art make use of 'dithering'.

Additional thoughts beneath the cut:

I feel so sorry for Wheeliam and I also love the imagery and scenery of when the players gets to meet and interact with him, so I decided to make a moodboard for him. Again, part of challenging myself to do so only with stockpics. I quite like it.

Also, random sidenote, but there weren't a lot of sycamore stock pics on pexels; I had kinda hoped for showing a whole tree but alas, I think this still gets the point across. Bonus fun fact, 'sycamore' has apparently been applied to different types of trees (source: wikipedia). Huh.

"Who's The Giant?" (The Oldest View/Who's Lila Crossover Mockup)

[sources: x / x / x ]

Digital Collage made in GIMP with screenshots from The Oldest View by Kane Pixels and a photo of the Julien Reverchon Giant made by Kevin Obregon, in the dithering color palette and style (and using some dialogue from) the videogame "Who's Lila?" by Garage Heathen. A crossover fanart of both pieces of media, if you will. The font is Dogica Pixel.

Additional thoughts below the cut:

This happens when I make fanart for multiple pieces of media and a) I start thinking about using the artstyle of one for the other and b) there are actually some similarities that are fun to explore. Hence, this piece.

I like how both pieces of media include themes of remembering/forgetting, and about attention, though in different ways.

Fun fact I learned - first crop the image, then use the dither filter on the final piece, not the other way around. I actually have a version of this piece in a larger size, but the crop made it look pretty bad, so I uploaded a specifically-made smaller one to avoid that issue.

(Also because I am not sure how well it shows up, the little rectangle in the lower right corner is Wyatt's phone.)

(Additionally. Fun fact - I originally planned to have Wyatt be the right-side portrait but I sadly haven't been able to make that happen with the footage from the webseries.)

(3rd addition: Who’s Lila features a Daemon and apparently, Arby from the tv-series 'Utopia' as a model for an FBI agent. Stuff that Kane Pixels has also expressed interest in (Daemon by Daniel Suarez, the tv show Utopia).)

"The Hanged Man (Ending)"

[sources: x / x ]

Two variations of a digital collage made in GIMP with a picture from pexels.com and a tarot art motive from wikimedia commons (public domain), representing the Hanged Man ending from the videogame "Who's Lila?" by Garage Heathen. I used the dithering option in GIMP to get the ditherpunk effect.

Further thoughts below the cut:

This one really felt like being hit over the head with inspiration; I saw the picture of what is the background in this piece and was immediately like "Hanged Man Ending!" and then found the Hanged Man tarot art and they just - fit. So well.

It took a couple tries and iterations to get it exactly how I wanted it to be, but I am really happy about how this piece turned out.

Fun fact, I tried to use the 'Tomiho' color palette for the first version of the pic. As a treat for the fans of the game.

"Wheeliam" (Who's Lila)

[sources: x / x / x Sycamore trees, Arkholme by Ian Taylor]

Digital collage made in GIMP with stock photos from pexels.com and wikimedia commons (license), depicting the character of 'Wheeliam' from the videogame 'Who's Lila?' by Garage Heathen. The collage uses the dither/ditherpunk style the game also uses.

Further thoughts below the cut:

Sometimes, you get hit with inspiration and sometimes, it just straight-up body-slams you. As was the case with this piece and a similar one I made. I was completely ecstatic the whole time I worked on this one, especially once the wheel had taken proper shape and when I had sort of figured out what kind of style/finish I was going for.

It always amazes me how making art makes it possible to create something physical that not just exists in my head, or how it allows me to recreate things I enjoy or that are simply cool concepts.

(The only thing that I am not happy about is the fact that whatever the heck it is tumblr does, it completely de-saturates any dithered pic I try to upload. If anyone ends up encountering the same problem, I suggest adding a 'burn' layer of the image and setting it to a low percent opacity, that seems to help.)

Also, random thought, but doesn't Wheeliam technically fit the 'object head' character trope?

Patterns made in GIMP, 2 of which are PNGs, with a screenshot from the videogame "Who's Lila?" by Garage Heathen.

After making some neocities stamps and such, and noticing that the Who's Lila community has a few blogs and fanpages, I wanted to make some stuff that could be used for blogs and the likes. Coupled with me discovering how to make patterns and being a bit obsessed with making them for a while, I ended up making some for Who's Lila/William.

The 2nd and third ones are pngs that can be overlaid over a background, the first one is a background in and of itself, mildly based on a color palette in the game.

Should I make some for other characters or do ones inspired by different color palettes as well?

(A working title for this post was 'behavioral patterns' btw. My brain thinks it is so clever sometimes.)

Patterns made in GIMP, 2 of which are PNGs, with a screenshot from the videogame "Who's Lila?" by Garage Heathen. This time it is the character of Michael "Mike" Graves.

A little gift for @tanyakennedy1899 who encouraged me to make more character patterns. I hope you like it! Thank you (and everyone else in the Who's Lila? community!) for reblogging my fanart, it helps to keep me motivated and make more. <3

I have just realised that the characters with shorter hair and without hats will be the easiest to make to make patterns out of lol. RIP to the girls, we'll see if I can figure out something for them.

(Also I had no idea what background to use this one, so I chose some more neutral ones. In case of Will (or Lila-as-Will), using the red one made sense because of a certain scene in the game, but less so with Mike. I am open to ideas!)

"Wheeliam #2" (Who's Lila)

[sources: x / x Sycamore trees, Arkholme by Ian Taylor]

Digitial collage made in GIMP using its dithering option, with stock images from pexels.com and wikimedia commons (license). Depiction of the character 'Wheeliam' from the videogame 'Who's Lila?' by Garage Heathen.

Further thoughts below the cut:

This, like the first Wheeliam piece I posted, was a result of me getting hit with inspiration big time. For this one, I made the wheel from scratch and then used the perspective tool in GIMP to get the final shape. I also wanted to try and 'hide' the wheel-head behind the coat a bit, as if Wheeliam is looking around the Sycamore forest.

I really like how this came out, especially since multiple parts of this piece were a bit more challenging for me, like the wheel, finding a good background, getting the different parts to work together etc.

(Also, fun fact: The working title for this piece was 'biblically accurate Wheeliam'.)

((Tiny rant: Again, it is super frustrating that when I try to upload dithered pics, tumblr will desaturate them and also crop them (or over-size them) in unexpected ways, meaning I had to go back a dozen times to try and crop/saturate/etc. this piece until it looked good. And yet I still like the original much more. Stuff like this can really dampen the enjoyment of making art imo.))
