Chapter 1 - Page 58: Of Oreos and Hocus-Pocus

I've always felt the livingroom was awfully... stark. I designed it similar to what's seen in the game, knowing full well how bland and... I dunno, threadbare(?) it looked, but I wanted to keep it that way, just for a laughable throwback to the simple 8-bit design of the game. But dang, after drawing and coloring all these pages, it seems to me that I should have at least succumbed to wallpaper, windows and a light fixture! What kind of psycho house -doesn't- have windows around its front door? And without those windows or an immediate light source aside from the kitchen window, how could it be so bright indoors? That's the price of adhering 100% to the game's design for the house's exterior first, THEN putting together the interior. You look at the inner layout and realize it doesn't conform to the outer structure at all. In the game, the front door, as seen from the the livingroom, is brown and square at the top, with no built-in window, but outside, it's gray with a rounded top and window, AND the doorknob's on the wrong side! So I changed it to fit the outside appearance. At least that's one claim to consistency I can make.

I need a life.

Junior organizer kit= REALLY weird gift to give your *newborn* niece (lots of stuff to choke on!), but I felt the need to tie in her gift with the role she plays in the game.
Also, it's been so long I actually had to re-learn how to draw the twins!

I knew I wanted the doll to change its facial expression (the one and only time it ever does) just before Ninten decked its lights out, but originally I was going to make it a despairing "uh-oh!" face. I then realized that that would be inconsistent with the story, and it would make more sense for it to give off a bemused, "heh!" face instead.
I'm sure you're all wondering what the heck I'm talking about, but anyone who's familiar with the fan theories surrounding the poltergeist phenomenon at Ninten's house should be able to figure it out.

I guess there's such a thing as too much detail... these panels can be terribly distracting from what I
wanted in the central focus: Ninten jumping onto the mini-table to avoid the bed; the bed turning around
for another swoop; Ninten deciding to jump onto the bed; and the springs in the mattress bouncing him all
the way to the dresser and the doll. How very cartoony.
But anyway, WHOO! Back to college, and back to the good scanners!

It's a sound-effect extravaganza! Except I think I should've gone with "WHUMP!" instead of "BOOF!" when Ninten catches Mimmie. Oh well.

You've always wondered what the flippant MOTHER battles would look like if translated to visual format... and here you go.
