Stardew Valley Sebastian Paintover (WIP Crop) | December 17, 2025

Eric Barone’s (“ConcernedApe”) announcement today of a new, upcoming major Stardew Valley update (v 1.7) reminded me of a painting I started during the last major update, the 1.6 update when winter outfits were added. Before the patch went live, ConcernedApe teased two portraits for the winter outfits – one which showed Sebastian! 

I love Stardew Valley and have played it on-and-off for several years now, yet curiously I still have not married anyone in my multiple save files, haha. I can’t choose! I love many of the NPC’s for different reasons. I still plan to, eventually. But anyway! Seeing Sebastian in his winter outfit portrait inspired me at the time to try painting him, based on that teaser image. The full image is about 3/4 body, but I was never happy with this painting, so here in the lead-up to 1.7’s launch, I was once again inspired to try painting Sebastian again – this time, with a paintover of that original painting from 2023. 

I don’t know if I’ll finish this one (but I’d like to!), so here is just a small crop from the image for fun! I also don’t know if I’ll show the original 2023 version, because I was never very pleased with it, and the errors bother my eye. Because this was also drawn only from that portrait teaser (I hadn’t seen the sprite model), the outfit is also likely not accurate to how it is in-game. 

So, just this crop for now!
