[carmine iron]

is the a lowercase?

[lime torrent]

dont really know if this counts as fanart but im making a reskin with my ocs in it!

[rough juniper]

no apparently it's at an angle

[paper hound]

It's art by a fan, is it not?

[lime torrent]

[shadow maple]

population

land

[snow harbor]

china and india would change a few spots depending on which method you used, for example

Glad you guys like it lol, I'll be sure to post the finished version here when it's done

[grave snow]

Card concept - The Banned
Borrowed card that cannot be sold, Forces the player to always buy 2 more cards per round, meaning that, at some point, he has the entire deck in his hand (yes it is broken, it would be the most difficult borrowed card to get)
But it could have a more balanced effect, I welcome suggestions.
The name "The Banned" is a reference to YU-GI-OH, the Pot of Greed card, which was banned from the game for being too strong.

[wicked scaffold]

I've never done pixel art before but I did a rendition of a joker I made up Called "Hot Potato"

[snow harbor]

very nice!

thank you! might do more for some others i thought up :3c

Pizza tower ass art style dayum

[burnt sail]

-# sorry in advance i just wanted to send this qwq

[keen saffron]

trying to make a psych hip hop beat out of the balatro theme

[wicked scaffold]

Did another one! Based on my Idea for a joker called "Warning Shot"

[small plover]

The joker text seems a little small

[wicked scaffold]

I copied the actual joker text from the default jimbo, so thats just a problem with the actual jimbos themselves

[pulsar vigil]

This is great! Just needs the 2px white border around the outside

[wicked scaffold]

ooooo i see i see

[paper hound]

probably also the reason @small plover said that the joker text looked small

[blissful wadi]

Also the card border is a bit off but its probably fine

Unless Im stupid

[carmine iron]

Thats awesome

[stiff plinth]

The reason it seems small is because you're using the 2x version of the card. If you want to use 2x borders and joker text, I believe TiltedHat has posted a 2x template before

[wicked scaffold]

ohhhhhhhhh i see

hrmmmmm

[stiff plinth]

#1325186580989874196 message

Tilted posted the 2x there if you want it

[carmine iron]

More pixels is easier to draw with but i find its harder to do stuff because theres more capabillity

[pulsar vigil]

Yeah the 1x version is a tough squeeze sometimes

[cloud creek]

You have my blessing to use the upscaled template if you're gonna do the Big Art

[pulsar vigil]

But it looks more genuine (:

[patent crag]

MY FAVOURITE GENRE AND SONG
epic

[cloud creek]

2X doesn't look TOO out of place as long as there's no mixels

[carmine iron]

Theres only so many ways to do text for example

I hate being given options

[pulsar vigil]

But then you gotta get real creative the smaller you get or if you want it to look fancy

[carmine iron]

But pixels have less places to go

Wouldnt that make it easier

[stiff plinth]

You'd be surprised.

When you have a smaller canvas your pixel placements have to be more defined to get your ideas across. Often time smaller art is just as hard, if not harder, than larger scale art

You have to get into smaller concepts for pixel art like spacing, color choice, aliasing, and dithering to get points across better

[cloud creek]

it's just a different skillset entirely tbh

[stiff plinth]

very true

[cloud creek]

there's a genuine math and theory to what makes low rex pixel art look good

it's not just raw "heehoo artistic process"

[stiff plinth]

I think anyone who's done anything like a chibi pixel art can tell you that you will struggle with a singular pixel for 40 minutes and still leave unhappy

[mint raft]

I've done that

[blissful wadi]

I do that with any art I make

The only good art Ive made is the april fools art we made for a mod

[mint raft]

Don't sell yourself short

[stiff plinth]

I do believe anyone can do art with enough time and practice. You just have to have that strive to get better and see where your shortcomings are

[blissful wadi]

Oh yeah thats true, I just dont wanna do art

[stiff plinth]

fair enough

[blissful wadi]

Im just a nerd over here who likes numbers

And breaking games

[pulsar vigil]

Issue with this is never being happy cuz you're only seeing shortcomings to improve in everything

[stiff plinth]

Personally I hated my art for a long time, but in time, I've found joy in others enjoying my art, and seeing my progress over time. I can still think something looks wrong, but look back and know I'm much better than I was a year ago. I suppose it's a personal thing

[pulsar vigil]

Yeah theres that aspect of it too

i'm definitely happy with my Joker art but i still see errors in them time to time, thats why i go back

[young gyro]

#1325808553004503132 message

i have a request if anyone is willing to help. more info here

[fleet pond]

I wonder if someone would ever let me do a Jimbo tat on them (I'm a tattoo artist, this is one of the pieces i've done)

Guys help me convince @weak tide to get a tattoo of Jimbo

@weak tide We could do a femboy jimbo for your pretty girl leg

[tiny kelp]

im fighting for my fucking life here

[weak tide]

Draw me up some balatro Yuri and we can talk

[tiny kelp]

💦 💦 💦

oh god

[storm night]

i dont get it

[tiny kelp]

Get what

[storm night]

why is everyone tweaking about this art

[tiny kelp]

anyways, that cat looks fucking awesome, and you should def get them a jimbo tattoo if they want one!

[storm night]

good anatomy tho

[tiny kelp]

:😳

[fleet pond]

@weak tide is my husband, I stab him whether he likes it or not

[tiny kelp]

stabbing is… one way to describe tattoos

[winged sinew]

stab da jimbo onto em

[tiny kelp]

jimbo balatro if localthunk actually designed them well

umm

anyways

[fleet pond]

"Jimbo balatro" is wild lol

[tiny kelp]

Its his legal name

[fleet pond]

Jimbo Nope Balatro

[tiny kelp]

localthunk should make this his canon name

[chilly tangle]

🍌 aside, this is genuinely a very good piece of art, I love the detail of each suit being used for corresponding colour

Please draw Small Blind next

[tiny kelp]

yeah, it really is

[tiny kelp]

nah draw the plant so i can smash it (with a hammer, of course)

(or a luchador i guess)

[weak tide]

Fembo Balatro

[tiny kelp]

that's gorgeous

[lime ivy]

thank you!! i was pleasantly surprised how it turned out i was struggling with the mane for a bit

[storm night]

i love the shading on the hair

[lime ivy]

thank ya!

my muse

[lime ivy]

would "Retriggers all listed probabilities" also make sense? the ability would roll all probabilities twice with the same chance

i try to keep the wording as simple and like the base game as possible

[remote agate]

am i legally allowed to screenshot?

[vocal river]

yes👍

[remote agate]

preferably set as wallpaper

[wheat nimbus]

gotta sort out the high contrasts now

[simple timber]

can someone please make a waifu balatro deck

[wheat nimbus]

asprite ain't that expensive

[simple timber]

asking for a friend

[wheat nimbus]

got mspaint too jo

[rough juniper]

OOH I LOVE THAT GAME

i watched aliensrock's playthrough of it

[cloud creek]

Of course they've got the banana card lmao

[leaden atlas]

Instructions unclear making a husbando deck

Wait that's just base game

[cloud creek]

I mean you could replace the queens I guess

[leaden atlas]

Eh true, but also we gotta fill that diversity quota /silly

I thought it was very beautiful!

that said

excuse me

[cloud creek]

Lol

Nerdy Face

[sonic swan]

been working on some tarot replacement art
still a long ways to go

[storm night]

is that scout

[cloud creek]

It's alllll TF2

[storm night]

wait lemme guess

first is heavy, second is idk. third is idk, fourth is spy

i barely played tf2

[cloud creek]

Fake fan, can't even recognize the administrator

[fluid hinge]

Yeah. The second is a crate, the third is the Administrator.

It is called a crate? I can't remember exactly.

[sonic swan]

yeah second one is a Mann Co. crate and key

fourth one is supposed to be the polaroid from the end of Meet the Spy

[storm night]

whats the best app to make balatro cards in?

i see a lot of people using aseprite

[sonic swan]

yeah! I use aseprite, highly recommend it

[lime ivy]

i use aseprite on PC and pixquare on ipad. resprite is also good for tablets or phones!

there’s a copy of the original jimbo in pinned, open that in any sprite app and you can start jonklering around

[shell basalt]

you'll get that 1/4 australium edition trust

[wheat nimbus]

alright that's the high contrast

[snow harbor]

hallo 👋

[chilly tangle]

I updated Joker's Dice

Definitely better than before

Is it good looking? I feel like there's still room for improvement

oh, wait

I could make it more rigid

[keen saffron]

Spy and scouts mom on lovers is so damn funny to me

[empty juniper]

GOD DAMN

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Emperor should be Hale ngl

[chilly tangle]

Is this better?

[sonic swan]

Emperor is gonna be Zepheniah, Hale is my plan for the chariot, jumping out of a helicopter as it were

[cloud creek]

That works pretty well

Where's Pauling going?

[sonic swan]

High Priestess

[chilly tangle]

This is so fire
speaking off, what about Pyro?

[sonic swan]

looks great imo, my only note is the E readability is tricky, but it’s also pretty easy to just deduce that it says joker lol

Pyro for the sun card!

[chilly tangle]

I was thinking that, but I wanted to keep it 6 pips max, so it was the best I could make lol

[sonic swan]

oh that makes total sense

[chilly tangle]

also, thanks for calling it great :)

[chilly tangle]

that's feeting

but then who's Hanged Man?

[sonic swan]

hanged man is gonna be Poopy Joe who died for our sins

[chilly tangle]

r.i.p. best moneky of tf2

also the only monkey

but the best regardless

[sonic swan]

[chilly tangle]

Anyways

Off-kilter Joker

There's definitely something wrong with it

[toxic sail]

This displeases me

[chilly tangle]

Actually, freak, now I want a list of Tarot card and a character that will replace it
-# freak here is a replacement of @#!$, I just realised it doesn't sound good

[chilly tangle]

As intended!

[cloud creek]

Is it just the regular joker with a full-naught black instead of Balatro black?

[chilly tangle]

yep lol

[cloud creek]

Awful

[chilly tangle]

Off-kilter from other Jokers, that's for sure

Honestly I feel like it can have a better

[chilly tangle]

how would you name this handsome devil?

[sonic swan]

shift him slightly off center

[chilly tangle]

THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA

But I can't come up with a good name for it!

[sonic swan]

I like off kilter a lot honestly

[chilly tangle]

"Off-kilter Joker" or just "Off-kilter"?

Joekr

[cloud creek]

** ** Joker

[sonic swan]

those are both kinda brilliant

[chilly tangle]

This is actually an amazing idea that I unfortunately can't really use

[pale marsh]

Paddle Ball (Rare) Gains X1 Mult per reroll in the shop this round (Currently X1 Mult)

[chilly tangle]

Off-kilter Joker it is I guess, naming it just "Off-kilter" feels... off-kilter

[paper hound]

Awesome sprite, insanely op though lmao

[pale marsh]

it's "this round", like hit the road

[chilly tangle]

Peak, holy crab. Especially those 3d letters

[sonic swan]

sick as hell, love the background and how the ball is interacting with the text

[cloud creek]

Don't forget the white border!

[paper hound]

Yeah, if you have any sense of Econ though you can easily get like 4x or 5x on this for basically nothing

[cloud creek]

Campfire wants to have a chat with you

[pale marsh]

do i need to add a white border somewhere?

[cloud creek]

2 pixel white border on the inner edge of the card, underneath the Joker text

[pale marsh]

...what?

[cloud creek]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/balatrogame/images/5/57/Diet_Cola.png/revision/latest/thumbnail/width/360/height/360?cb=20240320232328

[pale marsh]

ohhhhhh

i c

[sonic swan]

white border makes it look more printed on, but technically not required

[cloud creek]

I mean technically not sure but it's on virtually every single card that uses a background

[chilly tangle]

updated Off-Kilter Joker

It's now 71x95

[pale marsh]

that looks so much better oh my god

[snow harbor]

the only cards that dont have a white border are the ones that arent playing cards i believe

brainstorm, credit card

[chilly tangle]

also off-center, lost smooth corners, and its edges are no longer gray

[snow harbor]

drivers license does have a white border i believe, but just because its also white throughout

[pale marsh]

wait i messed up a corner

one more time

[cloud creek]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/balatrogame/images/8/87/Banner.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/80?cb=20241026213607

[snow harbor]

real talk tho, this is so cool

[cloud creek]

Banner is notable because it has a background + white border, but the flagpole goes over that border

[chilly tangle]

For real, it's very vanilla looking

[snow harbor]

yeee

[chilly tangle]

amazingly done

[cloud creek]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/balatrogame/images/c/ca/Abstract_Joker.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/80?cb=20230925013704

[snow harbor]

the background, the joker on the paddle

[cloud creek]

Abstract joker is similar as well, but that's also a foreground element technically

[snow harbor]

oh wait omg the joker on top left is being punched

[cloud creek]

Yeh

[snow harbor]

the right one is normal but with 3d

thats so awesome

[cloud creek]

I was going to suggest the ball going in front of the joker text until I realized it was actually being struck by the ball

[snow harbor]

mhm

[cloud creek]

Though would've been funny to make the ball a floating asset like the Soul card

[snow harbor]

lol

[chilly tangle]

That'd be awesome, but also difficult to implement without looking weird methinks

[cloud creek]

Disagree

It would look good

[chilly tangle]

I said it would look good if done right, which would be a bit difficult

Especially since the ball is behind the text

[cloud creek]

Oh yeah no no, ball as soul element if it was in front of the text

[chilly tangle]

Ye, makes sense

[snow harbor]

itd be the second non legendary joker to have that effect

[chilly tangle]

Forgot to make his pupils black-black
So... how can I make this bastard worse?

[snow harbor]

oh god it uses pure black
howd it take me that long to notice

thanks for teaching me why localthunk doesnt use pure black

[chilly tangle]

That's the idea lmfao
it's the "everything about this joker is awful... but why?"

[cloud creek]

Change the white part of his smile to be a flat line

[chilly tangle]

It's also: slightly off-center, 71x95 instead of usual 69x93, unsmoothed corners and no colour at the edges

[snow harbor]

how subtle is removing the nose

[small plover]

Remove the shading

[chilly tangle]

This doesn't look cursed, just bad unfortunately

[snow harbor]

nah no shading is too much

[chilly tangle]

This will be too noticeable I think

[small plover]

Just a little

Like the white stripes on his collar thing

[chilly tangle]

It looks hilarious, but unfortunately rather noticeable

[subtle moat]

||or was it?||

[subtle moat]

https://tenor.com/view/random-tuesday-eyebrow-raise-raising-eyebrows-flirty-tell-me-more-gif-26248216

[small plover]

I don't know what youre achieving with this but maybe slightly move the left "joker" text to make it off balance

[snow harbor]

its off-kilter joker, subtly wrong additions

[chilly tangle]

It already is off-balance lmfao

[small plover]

Oh shit it is lol

[chilly tangle]

Actually Off-Kiltee Joker's idea was to break every suggestion of how to design a joker

Like "every joker is 69x93? This one is 71x95. You shouldn't use true black? Didn't hear ya"

Making it off-balance just felt natural

But honestly removing shading subtly really is a great idea, actually

[snow harbor]

what about using all colors slightly off of the actual joker

slightly darker red, slightly lighter orange

[chilly tangle]

Nah

That's be "knock-off" territory

I think

[snow harbor]

mhm

maybe i could make a knockoff joker

like crappy offbrand or something

[chilly tangle]

Hell yeah, go for it lol

Make it so the text is Jokerer or something lmfao

[snow harbor]

nah
Jester

[small plover]

Humorist

Or jokester

[snow harbor]

lol you were right about the nose

[small plover]

Omg

That's terrifying

[chilly tangle]

Probably the final version of Off-kilter Joker

[small plover]

What did you do?

[chilly tangle]

Guess :)

Honestly the most idiotic yet fun thing I've done with sprite-making

[small plover]

You did remove shading!

[chilly tangle]

and you didn't notice it immediately!

[small plover]

-# some shading

[snow harbor]

current progress

[chilly tangle]

I ws think about removing it from his blue thingy, but realised it might bee too noticable, however it is not noticable on his face

[snow harbor]

Jester, gives 3.99 Mult

[chilly tangle]

lmfao

+4 chips, x1.4 mult

Or some other bonus

[snow harbor]

i like 3.99 mult better cus its like
worse, and also thatd be what itd cost

like irl

[chilly tangle]

lmfao

[small plover]

When you sell a joker, the sell value of that joker gets added to the sell value of the jester, I was thinking because of buying knockoffs

[chilly tangle]

This is so stupid, I love it

[snow harbor]

ah yes, double egg

[small plover]

It would go great with campfire

[livid hazel]

make him grimace instead of smile

[small plover]

Turn that smile upside down!

[snow harbor]

nah

its supposed to be a cheap knockoff

tempted to keep it like this

[chilly tangle]

this is amazing, please do

[snow harbor]

i also had a thought

make the font worse

[full oak]

Maybe add visible tearing and cardboard texturing so it looks like it’s made cheaply

[small plover]

OMG I JUST MADE A SUGGESTION CALLED JEKER BASED OFF YOUR ART OMG THATS SO AHHH

[snow harbor]

lol

lmao even

[small plover]

Comic sans

[swift mason]

My gf who's a huge PO-3 fan loves this
Great work!

[snow harbor]

nah, just remove the serif

[small plover]

I'm fine with this actually

[snow harbor]

alright
Jeker or should i do jester

[small plover]

Jeker, mothers would know the difference if you did jester

[full oak]

Add wearing like this ancient Uno card

[toxic sail]

now make him 72x96

[snow harbor]

its already a different size than standard

current progress on Jeker

[toxic sail]

its not

71x95 is the standard

[snow harbor]

that includes a 1px transparent border

[small plover]

May I ask why the little unibrow?

[toxic sail]

which it does have so like

[snow harbor]

more offbrand than what i had originally

[toxic sail]

wait no nvm

[snow harbor]

also, made the curves worse, and theres no red baubles

[small plover]

You removed the red baubles no!!!!!!

[subtle moat]

Thank you!

[snow harbor]

update

how should i show that its of lower quality production?

[cloud creek]

could bitcrush it a lil

just jpeg it a bit

[full oak]

Make it a little less off-white, add a bit of tearing at the edges

[snow harbor]

i could do bitcrushing by simply zooming out in aseprite a lil

though probably not exactly what you mean

[hexed patio]

jeker

[snow harbor]

yep!
gives exactly 3.99 mult

is also its price

[chilly tangle]

I mean, in game it'd be 1$ since Joker is 2$

[snow harbor]

nah itd be more expensive

[chilly tangle]

bruuuuh

[snow harbor]

the sweatshop making these has to make as much money as possible

[empty juniper]

Hell yeah, makes plenty of sense

What's the hermit gonna be

[snow harbor]

i dont think the cracks look that great, but eh

i think im calling Jeker good

[hexed patio]

assuming the card is supposed to be paper i'd use tears instead of cracks

[snow harbor]

yeah

[hexed patio]

paper tears don't often branch like that

[snow harbor]

yeah

i dont really care enough to fix this though tbh

[hexed patio]

fair

[snow harbor]

just pretend its cardboard or something

[umbral solstice]

Dark Humor

[small plover]

Peak

[umbral solstice]

(should I change the color of the card's outline?)

[umbral solstice]

thanks

[snow harbor]

i more think it needs the 2 extra pixels of white border that all the cards have

example:

[umbral solstice]

ic ic

[snow harbor]

also
normally id say that theres a darkest color that the cards use, seen in pins, but i dont think its nessesary for a card like this

[chilly tangle]

Relax liberals

This is called- holy shit, is that Jimbo from Balatro????

[snow harbor]

if you want to stick to that idea though id recommend looking at the space based joker cards to get ideas

[snow harbor]

muuuch better

[cloud creek]

mhm looks good

is that the black from campfire or the regular balatro black?

[hazy halo]

OG idea: when card is destroyed, gain 8$

but im currently redesinging the effect

[chilly tangle]

What legendary does Perkeo works best with, actually?

[leaden atlas]

All of them, hope that helps!

[chilly tangle]

I'm not sure how Perkeo works with Yorick or Chicot

[leaden atlas]

Tbh Yorick and Chicot just stand their own ground.

But Perkeo's always a good support jonker to have

[chilly tangle]

Trib could work due to Death and/or Strength
Canio same +Hanged man

So... Canio?

eeeh?

[leaden atlas]

Canio also works well with the spectrals that destroy cards as well (provided they hit face cards)

[chilly tangle]

Great jonkla btw, well drawn!

[leaden atlas]

so like. Half point.

[chilly tangle]

So you should redraw this but with Canio instead?

[leaden atlas]

Nah Canio's still trying to get over the fact he murdered his wife. And his wife's lover. Being cheated on does things to a man.

He just needs some space and doesn't have healthy coping mehanisms.

There again I also have the urge to give them a lil smooch on the forehead and fling them into the sun

[forest void]

[leaden atlas]

OUGHHHHHHH

God your art is actually delicious like. Augh I love how you draw their faces

[forest void]

Thankies !! I actually like urs too! It’s always a treat to see ur art !

[leaden atlas]

oh i dont know how to unembed

Put that at the start and end of your link!

[hazy halo]

I like the design of all the jokers (especially the legendary ones) , just makes me wanna run with them and play dollhouse with them

[leaden atlas]

YEAH EXACTLY

[hazy halo]

would you eat the legendary jokers background

i feel like they would taste like dark chocolate

[forest void]

Yes… Perko would taste like mint chocolate chip. Yummy yum

[leaden atlas]

Wrong! Battery acid!

Would still eat tho

[forest void]

now there’s a hole in my stomach thanks Perko

[hazy halo]

i draw the little jokers as if they were critters running around on my desk as i try to play solitaire

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THEY'RE SO CUTE

Ngl, don’t like the taste of antimatter

[barren trench]

What have you unsealed upon this peaceful nation?

[leaden atlas]

[barren trench]

…and with Kitty’s tragic violation of that most sacred peace, the first realm of Balatro was cast into an unprecedented dark age of death and suffering that would torments its residents for generations. Piece by piece the great Balatro nation would collapse into a state of ruin and turmoil. Before long, its residents would wonder if they had simply imagined the era of peace and prosperity that Kitty had brought to an end, and in a few short years, that wonderful age was completely forgotten.

[leaden atlas]

LMAOOOOO SOBBING

Kitty was sentenced to sit in the corner for the rest of her life. To consider the consequences of what she had brought upon to this world. But you see, Kitty felt no remorse.

Kitty merely showed the people the truth. They were just too afraid to embrace it.

[vast escarp]

Look upon my works ye mighty and despair

[leaden atlas]

Damn I really am the Ozymandias of the Balatro community

And alas, my work shall merely perish into dust.

Such is the way of the world

[mellow granite]

iirc he did say that actually

[snow harbor]

(context, working on making a palette for my balatro art using all the colors used in game, but dont want all the gradient colors used)
who knew there were so many jokers with gradients in them

had to erase so many cards

op have to erase trousers too

the pants background is a gradient too

doing that and also limiting the aseprite palette to 128 colors gets me to this

[snow harbor]

ok after a bit of work i got this set of colors, and have put it in my reference pic

should work well for my purposes

[shadow maple]

theres this if you want

oh wait you dont want all the colors

[snow harbor]

yeah not really

mainly cus of all the gradients

and all the tones that may be part of the actual palette but are really just like 2% away from a different color

[shadow maple]

As and Bs done

[shadow maple]

yea fair

[snow harbor]

good work btw!

very cool

its still so many

[livid hazel]

everything looks better with a gradient

[toxic sail]

gradient ❤️

such a pleasant gradient

[surreal geyser]

Customized card suit theme
(Inspired from balatro)

[pulsar vigil]

I like this!

one thing is when you turn the leaves around and the light source is coming from the bottom, if you want you could make an upside down leaf sprite and shift the lighting :)

[pure condor]

i need this

[surreal geyser]

lol

[snow harbor]

realistically, if theres another friends of jimbo, pretty likely imo

[fresh nova]

Now just to finish the Queen and the King. Honestly the Jack should’ve been holding the vorpan or legendary panchaku

[snow harbor]

also sick art

[fluid hinge]

Genuinely scared me.

[snow harbor]

new update
changes jimbo to do this

does the 👀 when you score really high

[rancid crane]

jimbo but he moves slightly
+4 mult.

[vocal river]

Jimbo part 2

[winged sinew]

amazing

[chilly tangle]

I just noticed the blueprint lmfao

[hazy halo]

this is how your average balatro player looks like btw

you may not like it but its true

[cloud creek]

THE HECK ARE YOU DOIN HERE?

Nice bandit btw

[wintry thunder]

how are you gonna do qatar

[fluid hinge]

They yassifed poor Jimbo.

They ruined his masculinity.

[tiny kelp]

is that rreeaallllyy a bad thing tho?

[tiny kelp]

is it?

[cloud creek]

Since when has a jester been masculine?

[tiny kelp]

hiker

[cloud creek]

That ain't a jester

[jagged ibex]

Jimbo that's my fucking blueprint give it back or I'm going to lose to this shitass blind

[tiny kelp]

ngl that blueprint is a lil hard to get

[vocal river]

[tiny kelp]

a bit of an uncomfortable spot, try rerolling one last time

[leaden atlas]

Buddy you think blueprint is in a rough spot, you don't wanna see where brainstorm is

[north thorn]

that blueprint placement is egregious, its not even copying anything

[leaden atlas]

Actually fr

[tiny kelp]

anyways

i can't really see the rest of the cards in between her thighs

but that sure is one hell of a super position

[golden pewter]

looks like 8 ball, superposition, delayed gratification and egg

[golden pewter]

also, absolutely 🔥 art

[vocal river]

her?

[tiny kelp]

delayed gratification down there is insane

[tiny kelp]

wait

what do you mean

"her?"

[patent crag]

Does he know?

[tiny kelp]

...

[golden pewter]

chat does he know?

[patent crag]

i never realised how damn buff jimbo's triceps are

[tiny kelp]

if what im thinking, is what yall are thinking...

[vocal river]

[tiny kelp]

nah it can't be jimbo actually jimbo is bald

and the real jimbo is locked away in a basement somewhere...

guys im so smart

this guy is clearly and totally a jimbo impersonator and definitely not jimbo as a femboy cuz he'll never do that

totally

definitely

r-right?

[golden pewter]

🙃

[cloud creek]

Which are those again, underarm muscles?

[cloud creek]

Oh it's opposite of the bicep ok

[tiny kelp]

was just about to post a picture but it seems like someone already did it for me

[cloud creek]

Muscle diagram joker would go hard tbh

[tiny kelp]

what would it even do

[cloud creek]

Give you Strength

[tiny kelp]

strength to what

[cloud creek]

The... The tarot

[tiny kelp]

oh

i didnt get the reference💀

ok but a jonkler that gives you strength seems a lil op?

[vocal river]

theyre more like these things

[patent crag]

ohhhhhhh

[leaden atlas]

Nah let her be buff

[patent crag]

h

h

i can see that now

[vocal river]

her?

[leaden atlas]

Something something muscle partental figure idk

Him mb

[patent crag]

:D

[tiny kelp]

hossess i swear-

[cloud creek]

I'm pretty sure it's Him but that's also a DEEP cleave for a dude to have

That a card could stick in it

[tiny kelp]

maybes he has abs but theyre just subtle

i mean

pecs?

idk man why are we even talking about this

[fluid hinge]

Wide hips and small shoulders as well but that could just be the pose.

Pretty sure it's him though as well.

[chilly tangle]

Alright, so looking into it the body seems to have features characteristic for a woman, however Hossess heavily implies that his pronouns are he/him
The verdict? He's trans.
Good luck to his transition 🫡

[fluid hinge]

What if she's a she and Jimbo began her transition into Jenny?/J

[tiny kelp]

nah its not jenny its jimboette

[hazy halo]

i need that twink Mult'd

[chilly tangle]

Is 7th sense about eating 9s?

[fading rune]

vamp?

[tiny kelp]

no

its a reference to something

somewhat vague but pay attention to the shape of the outline

[tiny kelp]

some other game

[umbral solstice]

7th sense (sense of humor)

[fading rune]

im bad at guessing

[umbral solstice]

Probably something to do with 7s

My wild guess

XD

[chilly tangle]

That's actually hilarious, please do that

[umbral solstice]

Maw of the Void?

[tiny kelp]

no

hint

the game has something to do with the sea

[umbral solstice]

Iron Lung?

[tiny kelp]

close

game is inspired by iron lung

among other things

[umbral solstice]

Absolutely clueless then tbh

[tiny kelp]

gradient hard carry btw

now for the slow process of drawing every individual card

tho its still a bit wrong

the gradient

ehh its fine

nah it aint hold on lemme change it

description time

[storm night]

[tiny kelp]

i got the idea for the teeth and eyes being cards from pareidolia

[storm night]

yea

whats the preferred size for making cards

i want to make smth

[tiny kelp]

uh

my card dimensions are 70 width 98 height

but its probably wrong

close as i could get it

but still wrong

[storm night]

hmm

[tiny kelp]

you should probably ask someone else

cuz i think other peoople use different softwares to make it

i just used a random pixel art website i found on the interne

and kinda had to guess the dimensions

while other people should have the exact dimensions of the cards

tbh i want the exact dimensions too

[subtle moat]

[tiny kelp]

oooo i was very close

[storm night]

what if hollow knight face cards

[grave snow]

Okay, i made better

[tiny kelp]

yes

[grave snow]

I improved the Crossover with Dead Cells

Before / After

[tiny kelp]

oooo

wait i heard my freind talking about dead cells before

whats it about

[stuck wren]

I should try making skins myself
Even tho I don't do any art...
How do you do that

[storm night]

you uhh

idk

[tiny kelp]

uh well

actually

[storm night]

you just need to

[tiny kelp]

i reckon pixel art isnt a bad place to start

is it?

[stuck wren]

I meant how to open up the texture

[storm night]

dont do traditional

[tiny kelp]

idk man im more of a traditional guy

[tiny kelp]

oh.

[storm night]

oh

[tiny kelp]

well

[storm night]

as a start dont do traditional

[tiny kelp]

but

[storm night]

depends on what you are making

[tiny kelp]

this is why none of my digital drawings have layers

at least, there's only one layer

cuz im used to it that way

[umbral solstice]

with or without Joker sign?

[storm night]

i do traditional bc i dont want to practice digital

[tiny kelp]

damn

i do traditional cuz frankly im just better on paper

[fading rune]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[tiny kelp]

hmm

[storm night]

ye both

[tiny kelp]

ok so the joker makes it look a bit off

[gloomy breach]

Real

[tiny kelp]

but every joker card needs a "joker"

[umbral solstice]

With sign it gets a biot messy

[umbral solstice]

it has a "fool"

in the text

[tiny kelp]

the word "joker"

[storm night]

i just drew a lot on paper as a kid so i have some memory

[tiny kelp]

not enough

it has to be "joker"

[umbral solstice]

ik ik, that's a pun

[tiny kelp]

there's a "joker" in every single joker in the game

except legends

[tiny kelp]

even red card, if you squint at the bottom right you should see it

tho tbh

i dont like red card

[umbral solstice]

Here's the meme then

[tiny kelp]

okay ig, with the jokers then

onto the next one

for you

i gotta sleep soon

[fading rune]

bottom text

[umbral solstice]

next meme👏 \

[tiny kelp]

yeah same

[tiny kelp]

and actually im not bad when it comes to drawing humans on paper

could proabbly translate that into digital but like

[storm night]

i suck at humans

[tiny kelp]

all i have are the shitty free drawing apps

[storm night]

only thing i can do is semi realistic hands and eyes
