Description
Everyone’s favorite precious shiny baby is here - LV-117, bringing light to the world!

Here are the notes (very bright and glowy):
-Her coat has lots of texture to it! I made the main shape look knitted (thanks, knit brush) and the fluffy parts look, well, fluffy.
-The lamps needed several separate layers to get them to look right, not including the two glow layers! The parts in front of the lights were done as a separate piece from those in the back in order to give a sense of depth. Then I used two layers for the lights themselves as well: one for the lightbulbs and one for the outer glass casing protecting them. Those little lines going across the bulbs are meant to make them look like Fresnel lenses; you can see those same lines in my previous drawing of the lightship .
-I had a hard time with the shading in this piece because of the two light sources. I think I did a good job in the end, although I worry that her skin might still look a little flat due to the relative lack of shadows.
-Her pose is based on the signals aircraft marshallers (the guys with the glowing sticks who guide planes around at airports) use! Specifically, this one means “turn left.” Why that particular signal? Well, apparently Olympic tried to turn to port (left) upon spotting the lightship, only to be a bit too late; LV-117’s captain, meanwhile, reportedly claimed that he tried to signal that Olympic should turn to port but that her helmsman turned to starboard instead (note that it’s entirely possible that he meant port from his own point of view, which would resolve the conflict between those two statements). In any case, someone wanted Olympic to turn to port in the moments before the collision, and the lightship’s pose here is a reference to that.
-The title for this one is from Don’t Forget, the ending song of Deltarune chapter one!
Update 8/6/23: She has ears now
