Given the title of the track, a castle-exploration scene seemed to be a given. I knew I wanted to draw the trolls, and liked the idea of depicting Terezi and Vriska during the post-retcon timeline. So I went with one of the castles we see in a Dream Bubble. - Although, compared to the vibe the song gives off, The Scourge Sisters seem a little too excited to be exploring this creepy old place. The piece needed something to give it a more ominous tone. A scrapped concept involved Karkat and the Mayor, so I put them in the forefront here to add a sense of urgency and foreboding - they're probably not in any actual danger, but Karkat's not gonna let his beloved Mayor get wrapped up in Terezi and Vriska's castle-plundering shenanigans. Visually, I was mianly inspired by the illustrations seen during the ending credits of Cave Story, and how effectively they used limited, almost monochromatic color palettes. I cycled through a lot of different colors for the piece before deciding on the blue/purple gradient here. + Although, compared to the vibe the song gives off, The Scourge Sisters seem a little too excited to be exploring this creepy old place.

I cycled through a lot of different colors for the piece before deciding on the blue/purple gradient here. Still not sure which one I like best! In hindsight, I could have easily set this piece in any of the castles on Prospit or Derse, but then I couldn't easily include the Mayor. And I really, REALLY wanted to draw the Mayor. Besides, pursuing a more obscure concept forced me to get more creative with the scenario and composition. @@ -572,7 +572,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: Commentary: |- <i>Luke Benjamins:</i> I actually wrote the melody for this track almost five years ago, for a project that never got off the ground. As far as I can remember, I didn't have any particular inspiration when I wrote it, musical or otherwise. It's the catchiest tune I've ever made, yet I couldn't tell you how it came to me exactly. This version is a completely unique take on this melody compared to the original context, giving it a very different Feel. I wasn't able to do any of the audio production for this track, but I did guide RJ as to how I Feel it should be put together. We ended up pushing the deadline too much with this one, and there are still a couple things I wish had been changed, but like with any creative work, you need to draw the line somewhere, lest you polish it endlessly. - In the end, I'm gald to finally share it with the world in some form, and I hope the world enjoys it. + In the end, I'm glad to finally share it with the world in some form, and I hope the world enjoys it. <i>Robert J! Lake:</i> This is really Luke's song. I started the project file but he made it his own. The crow noises are mine.
