Hey there!
I picked up drawing once again after more than a year of inactivity.
There's a little inspiration from one of the games I've won here recently for this one, so I'd give a look around if you don't know where to start and wanna solve it the proper way.
If any character is too hard to recognize I will help.
Picture's below and you can input your answers here.
Good luck!

Btw sorry for the low quality of the picture, my scanner is still broken after two years and my phone camera kinda sucks.
Anyway. The giveaways are sgtools protected (1st time I use it, so let me know if I have f*cked up in some way), they're lv1+ and they're for:
Hyper Demon (after the 1st part)
Lost in Play + Darkest Dungeon 2 (after the 2nd part)

Know the games and characters, no idea how to input the answers, and found out I won't be able to pass the gate anyway.

Regardless, I just wanted to say that your drawings look amazing!!! I'm actually envious af, I can barely draw a house (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠) How long have you been practicing?

I don't really practice. I used to draw a lot as a kid, but I rarely picked up a pencil in the last two decades. Last times it happened was for SG puzzles and for the latest SG drawing contest (SG has been good for me in that sense). Oh, I draw for my girlfriend from time to time too (birthdays, xmas cards and such), she loves my doodles.
The fact is, I rarely like what I draw, the way it comes out. Even if I get positive feedback, that doesn't change my mind, at all. If I think something sucks, it sucks, period. And that goes for the drawings of this puzzle too for instance. And mind that I know that they're good, that many people could say they wouldn't be able to draw like that, but still, they're not like I pictured them in my mind. I realize that with a lot of practice I could really improve, BUT... if I don't see immediate results when I do something, I lose interest pretty quickly. So what could be a nice hobby of mine becomes a source of frustration. So in my free time I usaully prefer to mindlessly play some videogame rather than drawing, and pity myself, and cry ;P

Since the event is over, is it ok for me to ask for the answer? I know how to arrange the pics but I don't know who these 2 characters are: the girl that look like from Cyberpunk 2077 and the elf girl.

The "elf girl" is Lae'zel, a githyanki fighter from Baldur's Gate 3. I'm not sure which picture you're referring to with "the girl that look like from Cyberpunk 2077".

In order of the pictures they are:

  • Hornet from Hollow Knight
  • Lara Croft from Tomb Raider
  • Jill Valentine from Resident Evil
  • 2B from Nier: Automata
  • Eri Kasamoto from Metal Slug
  • Mileena from Mortal Kombat
  • Triss Merigold from The Witcher
  • Malenia from Elden Ring
  • Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3

You did go all the way there Wax, tysm. And damn can't believe I didn't think about Jill back then, it must be because of the gun that I thought she is from some futuristic game.

I think, it's just her shotgun:

Forgot to post the solution.

>>> SOLUTION <<<

In the 1st part you had to rearrange the characters so that by moving them you'd obtain the eight Bagua trigrams in the right order.
In the OP I said I was inspired by a game I recently won here (Detention). On my Steam profile the 1st thing you can see is a screenshot of that game with those very symbols numbered.
The characters depicted are the ones listed in WaxWorm's post above.
See the pitcure below for the right order.

For the 2nd part you had a riddle pointing you at the weapons and telling you that a game and a place can be the same.
You had to zoom in on the weapons. With a little effort or thanks to some img editing software you could read ISO 3 1 6 6 -1 α -2 in the order. If you search for it on google you can land on this page.
The way a game and a place can be the same is by using acronyms. So for example: Hollow Knight would be HK that corresponds to Honk Kong in the ISO. The answers of the 2nd 2solve.me are indeed country names.

That's it.

On a side note. The 2nd part has been solved by 49 people according to 2solve.me. But I had more than 50 unique GA entries by the end. That means someone leaked the GA links. That honestly sucks.
