LOL I come from a different community that uses it a lot

#

Hmm I haven’t actually watched dbz I’m gonna have to do my research on what those look like

The DBZ fusion that comes to mind is ||the one that involves wearing earrings and doing a dance from the kais||

Decided to make it a whole new joker (lol) only attainable after you previously had & sold Bull while having over +$100 when you first enter the shop.

I got so caught up in making this one card that I genuinely have no clue what it should even do

Yeah

But to find it you need 100

So rlly just skill issue

Actually yeah

LMAO

I have never wanted to smug react someone harder

Still, this can utterly kill your run if you ever drop a penny below $100

granite fable
#

While I’m personally not a fan of Jokers with more than one ability

#

I can’t get enough of Gros Michel-Cavendish jokers like this

#

Really neat

graceful lava
#

you should call it the Cash Cow

spice bone
sturdy kiln
#

since its a paradox you need to make it an unavoidable softlock

#

This Joker will trigger once for every chip gained, +1 chip

quick prairie
sturdy kiln
#

was thinking that but its too boring

quick prairie
#

Hmm, retrigger every functions in Balatro

granite fable
#

The grandfather paradox is killing your grandparent before your parent was conceived, right?

#

So what it should do is delete the game, making playing the Joker a paradox

gaunt osprey

#

Retrigger every retrigger /j

graceful lava
gaunt osprey
graceful lava
#

I bet the ability would have something to do with asking for a specific rank to be played

gaunt osprey
#

i havent really thought of an ability yet

graceful lava
#

Wait I have an idea

#

Karate Joe
Retriggers X card in played hand, card changes after each played hand (X = the card in played hand from 1 to 5, 1 being the first and 5 being the fifth card)

#

For example it can say that it's gonna retrigger the 3rd card in a played hand

#

Or the fifth card

#

Or the fourth or etc

gaunt osprey
#

i'm trying to think of something that ropes in rhythm

#

like a consecutive (something) ability

#

upgrade for every consecutive random hand played that changes every round?

Membership Card

Memory - Played hand must include a card with (random suit) as well as 2 other cards with the previous 2 given suits.

#

gaiisn xmult for the however many times you play it

#

im tired

graceful lava
#

That's incredibly fitting

random berry
#

I like it

graceful lava
#

But it's a bit complicated lol

#

Well maybe not too complicated

#

It seems like something that could be compared to say... Obelisk in terms of complexity

gaunt osprey
random berry
#

I think it’s actually impressive and commendable to make a card that could be as complicated as that

gaunt osprey
#

anyway one line jimbo

wintry thunder
#

as opposed to 2 line jimbo and 3 line jimbo

random berry
graceful lava
#

Missed opportunity to also make the joker text one line

gaunt osprey
#

hold on

graceful lava
#

If I could suggest you could also go for some more loops on there

#

For example...

#

Not the best example but something like this

gaunt osprey
#

i was trying to follow the original lineart just in one line

graceful lava
#

That's fair

gaunt osprey

#

does anyone here have a refrence for how to write the text "Joker" in pixel art?
I'm trying to get the "k" in here, but the font in the image I'm making is to small, lol

plain rune
#

I know I messed it up quite much but this is my idea.

Faulty blueprint: (rare)
Debuff all right jokers and retrigger all left jokers equal to the number of debuffed joker. Cards will be pinned when you play and unpinned after finishing a round

This sounds familiar

It's from the Paul Christian deck

Balatro vanilla uses the Rider-Waite deck, the most famous one

But that's not the only tarot deck

north thorn
# narrow patrol apologies all.

I think if you're genuinely passionate about the game and you want to show your love for it you should learn how to sprite yourself

#

But if you're just trying to get engagement or show off AI slop I don't think there's a time or place to do so here

#

Spriting is genuinely a lot of fun and it's something I've been doing for years now because it's a fun thing and it lets me make fanworks for things I love in a format that's a lot less stressful than full-blown illustration

narrow patrol
north thorn
#

I don't think generating is appropriate at all

narrow patrol
north thorn
#

If you want to show love for the original game you can do so by creating original works

#

There's no love or passion in generating a crappy image from a prompt

narrow patrol
#

i mean, i 100% disagree with your opinion -- there's a vast difference to someone spending 3 seconds writing a few words, generating something and then spitting it out, vs spending a few hours crafting an exacting prompt, refining based on feedback/results and then tweaking afterward in traditional tools. The concept of ai slop is the extreme low effort variations... but so many people seem to think that everything output from these tools fits into that description, and it frankly doesn't.

north thorn
#

I mean you're blocked

narrow patrol
#

from what?

north thorn
#

You're demeriting work actual people put into their art and as such I think you're not worth either my time of day or anyone else's

#

What you do is pathetic and doesn't even come close to rivalling works by some people here

#

You equating writing a prompt to drawing with all the fun and enjoyment and passion that you can express on a canvas is frankly disgusting

narrow patrol
#

is it ok that GPT generates code? writing?

north thorn
#

I have never used any form of crapware

#

I write my own code, make my own art and design my own ideas

#

The same goes for so many other people

#

If you have to supplement your art and programming with AI, I feel sorry for you, really

#

You're depriving yourself from the ability to fail and improve by holding onto an artificial crutch

#

And because of that you're blocked and I'm not pursuing any further discussion with you

#

And I will be reporting and inspecting any kind of art you post here on sight

#

Because it's clear to me you have no passion or love or respect for artists

#

If you think what you're doing with a prompt is even of equivalent value

narrow patrol
#

you're very quick to make judgment. i suppose you must have felt the same if you were in Warhol's circle

#

hang on? if i draw symmetrical colorful lines on a canvas, am i offending the Realists or the Impressionists of the past?

magic sierra
#

nope this isnt quick judgement
generative AI has stolen from artists and bypassed copyright for ages
not to mention its fucking aweful for the environment

or perhaps if i flick color at a canvas, a la Pollock... i must not be worth it

#

#

Anyways chat look at this cool and awesome Joker for my mod, it's a reference to Homestuck

magic sierra
north thorn
#

I sure did

#

I can even post the reference I used

#

I added that little WinXP bar as my own artistic touch because I love WinXP

random berry
#

Kinda fits as well

north thorn
#

Yeah I'm very well familiar with the whole vibe haha

#

I also made this card

#

And I'm really happy with it because I actually made a 3D model for it

#

Based on this sprite

#

I really like making Jokers with mixed media

#

This is an older example but here's a full on animated joker with a rotating skull

#

I could see it yeah

But yeah it's all Homestuck references

@north thorn Kudos for absolutely annihilating that ai-bro

north thorn

I think art is only beautiful when someone puts their soul and mind into it

#

The actual rendering quality doesn't matter

remote gate
#

even the most armaturish sprites ive seen are more respectable than ai turbo slop

stoic kite
#

True as hell man

north thorn
#

Art is like a little window into someone's world

#

The best artists are ones who give you that window into their world and you can look through it and see what they see

stoic kite
#

Like, even if the best art you can do is a crappy stick figure, what matters is the passion put into it

somber quest
#

Yeah, putting it on the fast track, or putting it off does'nt help. Gotta take your time with it, gotta understand how it works.
There is a lot more, less forgiving, very annoyed stuff i could say but i will save it

north thorn
#

Even if you just do little stickmen you can still be a successful artist, look at radxdflipnote or whatever their name was

keen wolf
#

there's a certain personal charm of amateur artwork of going "this is dogshit but it's my dogshit."

north thorn
#

Yeah again art isn't meant to wow it's meant to be like a window into your world almost

#

Like, what you find funny, what you find interesting, what you like, dislike

north thorn
#

You can tell those things I think

It's literally a rule that AI content isn't allowed, I even showed them

#

My URL is being cringe but-

north thorn
#

Yeah they weren't sorry that they did a bad thing they were sorry that the thing is considered bad here

north thorn
#

I can look at the few past years of my artwork and see why I do things the way I do them now

#

And it's a nice feeling being able to trace that lineage of my own work

Have you heard of Balatrostuck

that's bernie sanders

i needed a guy with his fist raised up so i searched "raised fist pose" for like 15 minutes on google and i saw bernie

so i took the bernie image and i horrendously collaged it with karkat's sickle and hair

then i spent like 20 minutes carving out the shape out of this mess

what does summation mean

north thorn
#

sum(n) is equal to (1+2+...+n)

somber quest
# heady tartan what does piss do

Piss, as an aspect, seems more tied to waste than the other aspects. Rot, and uselessness. This seems to have translated to the ephemerality of the associated paradox card edition, though its inevitable destruction seems more tied to doom, than wasting space.
(This is really cool!!! The edition I mean)

north thorn
#

this has been plaguing my life for a year now

somber quest
#

Anyway, made a bit of cards myself, but not many... I'm more of a painter, less of a pixel artist.

north thorn
#

these bang

#

plus you get better at the whole spriting deal with practice

#

like my first ever balatrostuck joker vs my latest

#

you can tell i'm a lot more confident with how i do it now

#

than i was a year ago

somber quest
#

Oh, yes. I gotta take some inspiration from things, though. Pixel art tends to get a lot more technical than the "f-it-we-scrawl" of paintliness.

north thorn
#

the main thing to remember is that pixel art operates on limited color palettes

#

this will seem a bit limiting at first

#

but you can really do a lot with very few colors

#

one of the main things it does is it forces contrast in your work

somber quest
#

Yeah. There are some specific colors in the painting world that are pretty much famous. Cool stuff can be done with simplicity.

north thorn
#

my process still very much so operates on "f-it-we-scrawl" basis but instead of scrawling swaths of color i block in my shapes with pixel brushes

#

and i kind of carve into them as i go

#

and then when i layer lights and shadows i can do so the same way

#

this is a recent joker of mine that i am super proud of on regards to shading and forms

#

Also please don't take this as critique of your work I'm simply sharing my process in case it gives you something to think about

somber quest
#

Sorta what I do with my paintings, lay a base, light and shadows, then normal layers adding more detail as I go. Which, might be difficult if I'm dealing with less than 1,000 pixels.

north thorn
#

Do you have Aseprite?

somber quest
#

I have Krita.

north thorn
#

Krita's also alright yeah

#

I use Aseprite since it basically forces me to think in sprite terms

#

But I also use a lot of other mixed media

#

3D models, photos, Substance Designer for procedural textures

north thorn
#

Understanding the rules lets you make informed decisions when you break them

forest nimbus
#

thunk uses a lot of gradients

north thorn
#

Yeah, but there's thought behind them

forest nimbus
#

and you also suggested that I use them

north thorn
#

I also use a lot of gradients lol

forest nimbus
#

I'm not saying it's thoughtless, just that it doesn't adhere to pixel art traditionally limiting its palette

north thorn
#

I'm not saying it's a bad thing I'm saying it's a good thing to familiarize yourself with the base rules of the medium before experimenting further

bold rover
#

We showing off Joker collections to show our evolution?

north thorn
#

more-or-less

#

you're welcome to show off

forest nimbus
#

I can also see people finding it easier to follow traditional methods

north thorn
#

PIxel art has got a different set of conventions than oil painting or digital illustration

#

Understanding the conventions is useful

#

Because then you can combine your influences

bold rover
forest nimbus
#

I think it's useful if you get deeper into it

#

If you're starting out, it can help, it can make it more difficult

#

YMMV

north thorn
#

I think it's useful regardless, and pixel art has genuinely improved my art skill overall

#

I started by doing digital illustration

bold rover
#

Here’s my collection of jokers, from oldest/top left to most recent/bottom right

north thorn
#

Then I had a big phase for pixel art

bold rover
somber quest
north thorn
#

I starting thinking a lot more about general masses and shapes and how lighting is a shape as well

forest nimbus
bold rover
forest nimbus
#

If it's easier to finish your first pixel artwork by using a billion colors, then go for it and evaluate the result

forest nimbus
#

maybe it works, maybe it doesn't (probably not)

#

but you'll learn from it

north thorn
#

Yeah that's not my point though

#

My point is that it's useful, not that it's easier

#

You're arguing ease and intent I'm arguing usefulness

#

I'm not disproving your point and you're not disproving mine

bold rover
stoic kite
forest nimbus
#

as I said

bold rover
#

Heck, some of these jokers I've made even have goals tied to getting them

north thorn
#

Then I don't see why we need to have the back and forth on this if we agree

bold rover
#

Off the top of my head: Virtual Joker requires you to win a run using the Checkered Deck

#

(You can probably figure out which one is Virtual Joker :P)

north thorn
#

Oh yeah designing the ability first and then building the art around it is a nice way to go about it

bold rover
#

Sometimes its the other way around, like for the last 3-4 Jokers

forest nimbus
north thorn
#

When Balatrostuck was just me I mostly started with the art and then thought up the effect around the art but then it shifted to starting with the effect and concept and then me realizing the art for it

forest nimbus
#

I personally do art last because art is harder and I might rework the ability partially or completely, so the flavor needs to match the ability

north thorn
#

In the case of Balatrostuck art is last because the ability and whatnot acts more like a drawing prompt than an ability

#

We can always do another ability later

#

Even after the art is done

#

Because the art isn't meant to reflect the ability, it's meant to reflect the style and the thematics

#

So when we rework things, we rework them in such a way that themes and style is preserved

#

Even if the ability itself ends up a lot different
