Speaking of the tarot cards, I'm trying to make a custom set and I think I picked something that I'm not competent enough to render...
For the death card I want to have a woman in a black dress and veil eating an apple with her left hand and holding a skull with her right. ( So the apple is frame right and the skull is frame left, representing the card's effect. )
holy complicated batman
beautiful yuri....
are you sure
not too happy with this theming but i think the art's funny at least
Hmmm... not sure but shouldn't the unpleasant gradient have more colors?
it definitely isn't unpleasant enough
Yeah
i just didnt know how to do that in aseprite lmao
couldn't you just do each half of the gradient individually?
Oh shit it's true, I forgot you can select 2 colors
that'd work i suppose
would just need to select the different halves of the card, i guess?
yeah
Yep (for example: green then red, red then blue, blue then white, etc.)
You gotta concatenate the same colors to give that gradient feeling
why can't it be negative?
balancing, i think
So it took me a bit, but here's a rough draft maybe? What do you think?
idunno why i made this but like, yummers
Wait, are you using Aseprite?
yeah
i mean it looks pretty pleasant to me 
howd you know i used aseprite
i would say pink to green is unpleasant
orange to green is mango
holy shit yeah like that
a couple things: First off, colors: I'd highly recommend colorpicking from jokers in order to make something that fits in with all the other art in the game, and an aside: If you want to make it fit in with the other consumables (not necessarily planets, though,) consider picking a small palette of like, 3 or 4 colors in total. Secondly, if you are wholly replacing all of the tarots, consider you don't necessarily need the tarot overlay (i.e. the border and such). You may find that something else works better. Lastly: consider refining your idea. Too many details confuses the eye, especially for something that you need to recognize at a glance. Strip out details that don't necessarily matter, and zooming in on the important bits.
I could give spriting a similar idea a go.
It should be go away Green into ultraviolet purple
It starts looking bad, the mid section looks bad, and the purple is fine
I am replacing all the tarot cards, but I like the overlay, although I may adjust the colours. I understand what you mean with fitting in. I'm using more vivido colours in some places than the game normally does. ( The game doesn't usually use true black. ) I'd say that my level of detail is about the same or less than for the death card. Have you actually looked at it??? All of the tarot cards are pretty detail rich, but the death card is especially noteworthy imo.
Also, please do try to do your take on the idea! I'd really like to see it.
They are detail rich, but the important bits are standout, while less important bits are less contrast-y, and are basically only representations of what they might look like on a real tarot deck. As well as that, a lot of detail blends in with the dithered background, which helps to increase contrast with the stuff that's not.
I'm very amateur tbh. I don't even consider myself an artist, this is just something I want to do.
That's fair. I'd have to basically play with the cards to see if it's a problem, but I kind of think it won't be?
Here's an updated draft where I fixed some things. The red ribbon on the corset doesn't really stand out, but it doesn't need to either.
Remember that these cards are usually seen for a number of frames that i can count on my hand. They should be obvious and apparent, without having to read anything. There should be one shape or silhouette that makes it clear as day what it is
That's just a matter of memorization.
abomination
Not necessarily.
I mean, yeah, not entirely, but largely.
I feel like the grey/black/blood red aesthetic should kinda give it away?
I would again stress to use the palette that the jokers and consumables provide. You consider yourself an amateur artist, so I'd recommend taking all the shortcuts you can, so you can focus on the art itself.
Probably good enough
yes good enough
I like this, but what it do?
I tried to distill it down to its key component, before adding background detail, and i think that make it more obvious what the figure is doing. Then, background detail simply added atmosphere, rather than adding more things
Without context, what card is this?
This is pretty dope yeah. Thanks.
absolutely no clue. Although it seems pretty obvious what im supposed to look at, so im sure over time i will see it and know.
I'm purposefully wanting to have very colourful tarot cards, but I'll probably adjust the palettes to be less colourful and more in line with Balatro's art style and colour scheme.
Best guess? You have a 1/22 chance of being correct.
well, we see value first and most obviously, so thats what really matters. Right now, your values are too dark to fit in with everything else, and will stick out like a sore thumb.
Understandable.
high prestess would be my guess, based on shape.
And that's correct. 🙂
I finished!
Explodes spades
This reminds me of that one show from my childhood that I can't remember the name of. It was on US PBS.
kill the bastards.
I really hope you know what I'm talking about, because it is a very distant memory for me. Very good fanart, also.
Making Chaos into a waifu feels strange to me, but it works really well in your art style.
I went to research what US PBS is because I'm not North American XD I'll look to see if I can find the reference
Thank you very much!!! 💙💙
public broadcast TV
Public Broadcasting System, it's a government-funded education channel. Or was back then.
It's one of the few channels that everyone was guaranteed to get.
Ownnn thanks! I wanted to draw something involving Balatro but I'm not used to making fanarts, and since my drawings are usually waifus I decided to turn some cards and Bosses into a "human version"
Ohhh I didn't know
It's all good. I'll try to find it.
I'm curious!
I want to draw some other Joker, I'll look for inspiration
The Big Comfy Couch (French: Le Monde de Loonette, lit. 'The World of Loonette'), is a Canadian children's prop comedy television series which is about a clown named Loonette and her doll Molly who solve everyday problems on their eponymous couch. It was produced by Cheryl Wagner and Robert Mills, directed by Wayne Moss, Robert Mills and Steve...
It was originally Canadian, but also broadcast in the US
Part of a new suit set im working on, that scale when you destroy each suit
Also apparently you can watch the whole series on Archive.org also. https://archive.org/details/the-big-comfy-couch
The Big Comfy Couch (Le Monde de Loonette when broadcast in Quebec) is a Canadian television series, which is about a clown named Loonette and her doll Molly...
Sword Swallower, Heartbreaker, Club Bouncer and the diamond one
Window Smasher.
tbh i'd go with jewel theif or something
mostly cuz the mission impossible scene would be so easy to draw haha
That might make more sense, I just find the idea of throwing a hammer through a window to be intrinsically funny for the mechanic.
this, except theres a jem under him :)
Fitting that into a vertical card sounds very challenging.
But kudos if someone can manage it.
I was just considering watching this again
OHHH now I understand why it reminded you of this program, I loved it!! The presenter's makeup is very good and the clown aesthetic is really familiar, I'll probably keep that in mind for the next art
I loved the vibe of this!
I look forward to it. I could see LLoonette being a Joker. Probably easy to adapt her style to the Balatro art style. But I don't know what the ard would do
Also why are pants so confusing to draw?
That's a very interesting idea, I would support it.
Pants
I thought about drawing my sister the Jack card and my mother the Queen XD
I struggle with my shirt and glasses when drawing /:
Erosion Joker will love this
Ragh i love synergy
Those are some good pants
Part of my problem is I don't really understand how foreshortening works so the perspective here is very... not right
She's supposed to be sitting at a desk, ofc. But it looks more like she's awkwardly standing
Or maybe leaning?
That's what I interpreted ): By the posture of the body and the position of the legs
Yeah, I agree. How should I change it to make it look more like she's sitting comfortably?
Any guesses on which card this is? 
Hmmm good question, Maybe detail the knee line, or Indicate the chair by making the backrest or the seat
I really can't say, but I loved this design
True, I will do that. I was going to draw the chair anyway, but I wanted to get the legs right first
It's one of the tarot cards, does that help?
One of the cards in the game, huh? Hmmm, I'd say Death or Moon
Maybe, just maybe, the Emperor
Oooh, I meant this one with the space ship
I've already shown my Death Card. Emperor is a good guess, but it's actually supposed to be Chariot. The tarot set I am making is a themed deck based around some characters from a more sci-fi series.
OHHH, Epic! I kicked the Emperor because of the two animals down there XD
Where would it be from?
Right. The two animals are a reference to the black and white sphinx on the chariot card.
Well it's a thing I've been working on with a friend of mine for many years, but there's nothing published to show. Even this set is mostly just for fun, for us. It's been a long-standing joke that a certain character has so many kids we might as well use the tarot cards to keep up with them.
OHHHHH this is very interesting! Is it a written story?? It looks so cool
Yeah, thanks! And it's mostly a written story, but there are many illustrations my friend made. There isn't much to read though, it's basically like all worldbuilding notes. The character on the Chariot card is named Pim and he races space ships.
If one day you decide to post, I would love to read it! I love reading stories made with so much love.
NOO THEY GOT MY MAN CARD SHARP 
Maybe one day I will.
Also, I'm not quite sure where I was going with this concept, but I kinda like how it's going? This one is the most heavily similar to the original Balatro card, I think, with the buildings and horizon line being directly traced, but I also added a mountain, restored the lake from the design that it's based on, and moved it to the side to allow for the composition to work with the pensive observer.
Idk about the colors
But I think his body is blending in too much with the background detail...
That moon doesn’t look so circular
Yeah, me either. The green feels too saturated for nighttime.
It's circlish
But yeah, it looks more like the Minecraft moon. 💀
Why didn’t you use tarot colors for tarot lol
Because I don't want to. I could just play vanilla in that case.
I mean its good its just the colors are too dark
Too dark?
Yeah
This seems too light to me.
Don’t use black use dark gray
This is the darkest thing i’ve seen tofay
Today*
Thats better imo
Because the vanilla black isn't black :p
Ive only used a darker black than the game palette once, and that was for a good reason
What was the reason?
Its a black hole :p
But yeah, it is strange to me how the game letterboxes the values the way it does. It's not noticeable when you're playing.
Yes, that's pretty epic. What does it do?
1x for every hand type above level 5
That's pretty cool. I'd play that. I already heavily favour Space Joker, Constellation, and Supernova
Still gotta be best balala black hole ive seen
hi sadcube :D
Heyoo
oh ya i should finish the Brazier ^u^
it currently looks like this, but i was unsure what to do with the hammer
i have no idea how copper working works, so i'm gonna assume he's using a ball peen hammer
Mmmm this is peak…
That scythe goes hard for me
i have my own too >:3
i like this one that i made
how did you make multiple dithering?
gradient tool ^u^
Share your criticism
you can only select 2 colors
my criticisms are:
- this isn't in the game yet ^u^
what app are you using for your pixel art?
Aseprite
right ^^ that's why
you can select as many stops as you want in GIMP
(free and open source btw!)
it's how i got the gold sheen on my Starter Packs
(these)
Broken joker, name of the joker is “Dark Donald”, his main ability is that he levels up all poker hands anytime a hand contains a spade flush.
So that one is like
3 areas
Green to gray, gray to pink, pink to red, and red to brown
i mean you could always just combine a bunch of transparent - colour gradients
Fair
........that's good but I find aseprite easier to use 🥺
The level up is exponential for every time you play a flush of spades.
so... you used two colors for an area... then you select the last used 2nd color and use another one and... you do this until you fill the whole card, right?
Which one is this you’re making now?
ah :3333
If you want even more broken, remove the spades part, let’s make it activate upon playing ANY FLUSH.
yup
okie dokie
The point of the mod I’m making is to make as many broken jokers as possible
Besides, he’s also disabling boss blinds.
Attack on 64suns for artfight on their vagabond and fortune teller designs :)
It’s always yuri
Let me come up with a name for this ship
…
The Lovers.
Like the Tarot Card.
Wait that’s cute
Been working on some cards for a comm
uhhhhhhhhhh blueprintttttt uhhhhhhhhhhh brainstorm uhhhhhhhhhh
okay it seems you meant playing card ^u^
:3
Very much awesomes
thank! i think :3
oscillating it rn
yeah that’s the term, I love it sm
who wouldnt go into debt for yuri
goobert perhaps
goobo jr
damn I have a good gif related to goobo jr but gifs don't work
tootally not inspired by it...
i wanna see
I could download it
worth
Cryptid 0.5
Kryptid 0.5
Worse death 1.0
its actually better dna 0.5
i like it, what it do?
i hope it oscillates
50 chips per round seems pretty powerful for a common if I'm understanding this right
isnt it 100 chips?
eh not really
sly joker is +50 if hand contains a pair so i think its fairly balanced
No
does this look like mold?
it looks like ash
yeah it looks like burnt
maybe if it was geener
also i might have completely changed her stylistically
the original attempt didnt have the room to fit the whole statue, which felt odd
so now shes styled a bit like how ive done with tarots
the pen is moldier than the sword
that is a wee bit geener than i was expecting tbh
i was thinking like a darker green
actual genius
Work in progress of the Geometer joker:
Hair is balls so is the chest
How good/bad is this spectral... gameplay wise
Squishy hair ||and squishy chest||
My man 👉 👉
would read more as mold if it had more circular shapes
Hmm... it would be a downside if used on the earlier antes.
Maybe good on the late game idk??
My thoughts exactly
also that brighter circle around it is very important to capture the look
like consumable slots are 0 permanently?
not exactly sure how late game wouldnt have an issue with 0 consumable slots
Permanent 0 slots, but if you have at least one consumable in the slot, you can still use it and make negative versions
You have to find a perkeo with suitable consumables or rely on just arcana and planet packs
yuckers
It's much better late game
how so
Find a Yin Yang early game like on ante 2 or 3, you would barely have any deck fixing during rounds
Extremely limited to only the Tarot cards in Tarot packs
Does it destroy consumables or does it directly put the slots on 0?
it just seems like its designed more for super late endless games
As opposed to finding one late game when your deck is filled with cards you're constantly using
Pretty much
rich get richer card methinks
Doesn't destroy consumables, puts slot count at 0
theres nothing like inherently wrong with that, but considering everything else in the game has always been designed around the 8 antes its just kind of odd
i dont do endless very often anyways
Unpleasant Gradient can be negative but it prevents common jokers from being negative
maybe change it to "(which cannot be Negative)" or something
to make it more obvious it applies to the spawn and not the card itself
Would be balanced if it was consumable-1
so its like
if you buy two of those then yeah it becomes 0
"common jokers always spawn with Foil, Holographic, or Polychrome editions"?
I was thinking that too
depends on if you want mod compat
if it just sets it to 0 then nobody buyin ts 😭
WIP
Beautiful
Honest to god Rose I might get nine sols because of you I love ur art of Lady as the balatro cards
my art of her takes some.. creative liberties
shes most definitely a lot shorter
but I will never say dont play nine sols

I love the collection of these that exist
This is a downside?
great game, and the big lady is not the only reason why
YAY
Yeah i've heard its really good
Avoided spoilers so far so, now would be the best time
i have absolutely no idea what you are possibly referring to
not strictly, but calling her big lady is only half true when shes changed to be a normal height and not 8 feet tall or however big she is
Of course of course what am I saying (I start applying clown makeup to my own face which suspiciously looks like Jimbo's makeup)
also shes not as visibly chubby in the game 😔
i swear they hide it
there is no clear image of her that you can use to gauge it
lots of guessing based off outfits and posing
Very fair...
would you like to smell my flower?
btw there will be a statue for her girlfriend
Which Steven universe character do I turn into a joker?
i dont know any.,
-# I wish I was that statue
mods kill him with hammers
I wanna have a statue too 🥺
Jasper
Ye
Or they want to be stoned (weed)
You and me both (is already a big lady irl)
I’m big but I don’t look like a lady
Damn beard grows too fast
Sameeee.... I cast spell of That No Longer Happens Unless You Want It To on the both of us
:D
i guess what i drawn is more moss than mold
You can give some beard to me
I got density, but not volume
I wish I could
mosstato, moldtato
but yeah, circular shapes, white borders and that ugly green would make it more recognizable
Spinel was a must, maybe Ruby and Sapphire as well
the "already made" text,..
Uncle Grandpa
Will think about it
Ah, sounds lovely, sure I would
Maybe
Garnet?
I guess she counts but I prefer to see them as a part of her but not her
Oh shit
Imagine this with FusionJokers 💀
am i molding it?
this was a cool idea
maybe someday i'll be smart enough to remake it or some shit idk
Analytical, hardworking but also pretty cocky, she's the Mathematician's older sister but she's smaller in height, sometimes bitter but she has a sweet spot (and a huge crush on the Marine biologist).
The Geometer
This joker gives the double of the amount of chips and mult scored if the played hand contains a three of a kind.
cute :D
i think this looks much moldier
I have no idea but can i get one anyway 🥺
sure! 🍪 ||the hint is in "cookie", not the cookie itself but...||
ah, aight
||another hint: it's from a very popular... not pc game||
||one could say... they run pretty fast||
i woke up one day thinking "mold cards"
come on, this one's pretty simple to understand :P
aight, last hint: ||the game is made from a team called "devsisters"||
does it have yuri
cookie rush kingdom
.....
yes
AAAND WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
never played
||even though is called "cookie run"||
only know of it bc of that one animation thingy on instagram
drippy cards
I inspired geometer's design from Alchemist cookie from cookie run:
really good
and my friend and i getting drunk watching roffle at tower bridge
to offset the actual fanart
😂😂getting drunk while watching roffle is so real
it's sooo peak
i feel so stupid as a balatro player when i watch him play he's way too good
its giving infection
falafel
is this why his live chat is full of interesting advice
some dumb jokers I made
Do you like pokemon?
yeah
how did i know?
idk
where's lanino
oh ho hoh you fell for the silliest oldest trick in the book sploosh
Which you guys think its better the golden edge or the normal edge
How the hell you designed a joker so adorable
the golden edge looks better when using the rest of the white border tbh
not gold
sorry
white
cant type
Ok thanks
(I spit water out of my mouth while my makeup runs) pffhh— pflflffh mm very very funny indeed
This is really sick and unique art style,
This is a great time to teach
I recolored this with colors directly from the balatro color palette, changing as little as possible about the original
Most jokers pick from the same colors, especially the blue, red, and yellowish orange found on the "Joker" joker
Look at egg, yellow and red
Look at ice cream, blue, yellow, and red
Most jokers use the same colors
Palette and outline
People are doing a lot of uno huh
I've already done them before you
pwx idea vacuum
I just love uno :(
yeah but i think more people are inclined to add them now that pwx is gone
What about chess cards
Just based her design off Alchemist cookie from cookie run and gave her a few tweaks and changes.
Thank you btw!
jake!
joake?
nah jake
jaoke?
oh shit didnt read the nick mb
tho like is it j ker or joker on hanging chad
joker
I made a small modification
we see you opal, your troubles can finally go away
Jake!
its moreso i want to reimplement them
pwx had some good idea that i think are too good to just like. let rot away
did they ever have a function?
Yeah they did exist in pwx
But I don't remember what they did...
All I remember is that they were tied to poker hands
From joke to jake
yea
tokens....
Agreed tbh
I wonder how difficult it would be a procedurally create them via a For loop
But then the hard part of THAT would be procedurally making the sprites--unless you just want to somehow use the tiny tag sprite for it
Fuck it I'm inspired
is this gradient sufficiently unpleasant or should i choose some different colors
adding some sort of pink color would be better but there aren't too many of those in the balatro color palette
i guess for this specific design it's not too important to stick to the palette lmao
i find this gradient too pleasant
maybe i need to vary the brightness of the colors a bit
not unpleasant enough, please make it clashing colours
my eyes hurt just by looking at this
perfect, right? :D
i want to use relatively few colors if possible because i have to do each segment of the gradient individually & i have to make the same gradient for the background, center rectangle, and joker text
hold on lemme like. make a completely random gradient
Add pink
specifically fuschia
ignore the obvious things with the gradietn going outside the card borders and whatnot
i think this is still too nice
Its so nice that I'd definitely take a massive bite out of it
Just looks like some exotic napoleon ice cream
Yummerz
I think im just hungry
Cause that looks like mint chocolate with orange and vanilla ice cream
Or that meme gradient
Can't even compare that one to food, truly unpleasant smh
get her a burger,.
Nooo the lights are even reflecting in the eyesss 😭
🤤 😋 yummers
Vaporwave joker?
Hehe
Electric Blue
Uncommon: $6
Mult cards count as Bonus Cards, and Vice Versa
thats much better
Claire will discover the truth soon enough…
still debating cards ability lol
Wild Planet
Common: $5
ranks 5 and 3 have a chance to upgrade 3oak when played
the symbol is this weird thing on the wild planet album. no idea what it is but i didnt want to draw the actual members of the band
benus 
redid juggler
hey fellow album cover joker maker
honestly really like this one
peak
hires juggler looks sick
thanks
jugglin
I may or may not turn another joker into a lesbian-shaped famous statue
Different one tho
I have no idea what this does.
El Zoomo!
(flavor text should randomly be chosen every round)
-# Smoking may be hazardous to your health. Mother of pearl! Not one of your standard brands.
Putting a pin in my joint for later 
its based off of a scene in Head, they are shrunk and put inside a vacuum cleaner
should also make one off this scene. Mickey Dolenz, out in the middle of the desert, a coke vending machine, and the narrator saying "Quiet, isn't it. George. Michael. Dolenz."
Quiet, isn't it?
Uncommon: $7
Opening a booster pack adds +7 mult
booster packs have 0 options
Jimbo Plushie Joker
i see this everywhere, what is it a reference to??
I dunno honestly
the link mentions Regretevator, so
This is cursed. ( tone: compliment )
fuck you ( tone; sarcastic )
It originates from an image of the gradient from a ring cam and it just says something like “the unpleasant gradient is at your door” or something dumb like that
And then regretevator used it for an npc
Better red card
Nice art though
I might dither the sand a little so it blends together a bit, but otherwise its great
Maybe a shadow under the subject as well
Ugly ahhhh
Yeah looks good :)
CUTEEE
Oooooh looks nice
oh wait I know why it looks dumb I FORGOT HIS EARS
the black doom face thing looks like he has cat ears but j kept it because funny
hold up I forgot to change his eyes
The Plant - kills you upon purchasing /j
wher plant
if someone has a good idea for a plant joker i'll add it
no textbox
played face cards give 1.6 xmult or something. 100% at least face card related. duh
boooooring
sorry if that's a little harsh but i want something to spice up the run a little more
do they look better with normal blending on the shine instead of overlay?
hm. maybe converts cards, could destroy non face, unless you wanna go the route of the true plant where it instead encourages number cards
Crashes your game if you encounter the same boss blind as your card
^^2 chips /j
I was discussing the tarot deck I was making in here earlier and was getting a lot of suggestions to use the existing joker colours. I was wondering if there exists an aseprite palette for that. I could probably make one from the png if I need, but if there's already a Balatro palette I'll take it
Also been considering how I might go about a Hanafuda deck and wondering if anyone has interest. There exist hybrid decks already, so I'll probably take cues from those. But not sure how to handle the card colors.
They've got beautiful designs, but they pretty much all seem to use red and black
Probably beyond my skill level, tbh. But I'll take a crack at it.
debuffs all fave cards and all debuffed cards give x2 mult
wait
don’t do that
that’s what one of my jokers does
try this.
the suit blinds
Huh. Will when I get home
oh boy I wonder what they target
What do these do?
haven't decided if they're 1 joker or 4 yet
1 joker sounds silly
Ah ok
my idea for a 4 in 1 joker is a random suit being debuffed every round and every other suit triggering
suitless cards like stone would never be debuffed or retriggered
What if the boss jokers do the opposite of what the boss blind does
some of them do, but i want most of them to have a weaker version of their blind effect + an upshot
some don't follow this pattern
Ok
some do the opposite, like flint
Ah
depends on your poker hand levels
i would say that -1 discard is too light of a drawback, but its either putting yourself at blue stake or giving yourself 1 discard until you find a voucher or use red deck
cool and balanced and epic
hooray
a lot of these effects are intentionally simple
the boss blinds they're based off are simple after all
true
2025 update will have a new boss blind that requires you to read house of leaves to understand
bet that's reworked serpent
mmmmmmactually i might do all 40 vanilla and grab bag boss blinds
these are easy asf to draw
Makes sense
Would these just show up normally or would they have some special unlock thing
they can show up if you've beaten the corresponding boss within the run
Neat
Makes sense
That would prevent the suit bosses from being one joker tho right
yeah
Sad
i could make the boss's suit always retrigger, and debuff a random other suit every hand/round
Hmm
i also might make boss boosters that rarely show up after a few antes and a skip tag that gives you a random boss joker from the ones you've beaten, to make getting them a little more consistent than just randomly rerolling into them
Ugh I just realized I’m gonna have to fix my retexture sheets once the update comes out
fun
all the preexisting jokers will probably stay in the same place
and won't have changed art
Yeah
99% chance
Idk why they would change order
8ball is gonna change color again
Hopefully the new jokers will give me some ideas for big lady resprites
shattered boss blind jokers might be real soon
I have to make a golden venus de milo tomorrow
I just realized I still have no idea what any of the effects of the custom jokers/bosses are 
well making the wiki sounds like a lot of work
guess you'll just have to play https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1334717157098913833
teehee
Too large to be a joker, but i think it looks good :)
colors are wildly too bright, but I wanted to use the jimbo colors as a base
Its not too bright
For the fact that you used colours that dont look like you used ms paint. It makes it a lot better
no i mean literally its too brightm the original cover is much darker
Beautiful
I like these a lot. Are you gonna call them by their original names or stick with the translations Balatro provides?
Yes, that appears to have worked! 
Did somebody say boss blinds 
Also, is it true that LocalThunk sent an actor dressed as Jimbo to accept his reward?
actor?
you can just google the clip lmao
Right, I'm sorry. I meant that he manifested Jimbo into our reality to accept the award on his behalf.

You guys have any suggestions for Garnet’s Joker sprite? (she does have a soul_pus)
Wasn't hard to make the tycoon
How would the metal tag look like
Added some numbers and shapes to make Mathematician and Geometer stand out more:
Anvil
Yall got any good android pixel art apps? I've been using ibispaint but it's not entirely made for pixel art
Hey I gotchu fam. Import this into IbisPaint, get the Digital Brush, which will let you draw in pixels without antialiasing. If you dislike the circle shape sadly you'll have to do the ad watching this to switch digital brush 's shape to Square
hi astro! ^u^
if you haven't already, turn off interpolation on zoom in
hi
Oh yeah I seen this tip too okay thanks I will try it out
60 seconds isn't long if you're using picture in picture YouTube ! ^u^
there's no way this took under 5 minutes what the fuck
Yeah works out fine but what if I want higher quality I get that we made the canvas way smaller is there any thing to do about that💔
This should be put in a museum
Resize
Put 1 number as double
go to bottom drop down menu
Pixel Studio
select nearest neighbor
af joke(?) drawing of a handful of balatro ocs because i thought it would be funny
she's throwing a plushie at him as the ball. yes, the plushie is sentient.
Why the fuck are they dapping
unik can dab if he wants to
I've been using ibis for like 5 years and this is the first time hearing about all this damn😭
I'll try it out too
yeah it lets you directly resize canvas and picture at the same time
pretty cool
yeah because youre first dabbing in pixel art specifically
No shit its called free will😭 im asking why before the shot
generally pixel studio is better because it has more stuff specifically dedicated to pixel art making
and was what i used before aseprite
i just use IbisPaint still because I'm used to it
and so it's a lot easier to just make pixel doodles on
though, i highly reccomend using a pc to draw
I did these two but did them on a big canvas and it was really messy that's why I asked
I mean I never really cared so if it's gonna take 20 mins and I'm having fun anyway, I guess I'll be the Drawing On Phone Guy
Damn I really like ibis since yk I can optimise it 100% but maybe i will use both im really liking the pixel art stuff
gunslinger seems broken it's like those instant gratification jokers but less destroys itself
Don't mind the effect yall they aren't well though after
i think 2 contributing factors are the mixels and uh the outline
mixels being mixed pixel sizes
gunslinger should have a chance to destroy random cards in hand
if youre not working with sharp corners, an outline generally shouldnt have the diagonals as well
Also mirror for some reason didn't work properly and I had uneven half's
unless youre drawing with a brush then just enable pixel perfect
Woah wait you're onto something
gunslinger is basically like a glorified x2 mult
Had a guy explain to me why gunslinger is like really bad for a rare (i didn't understand anything but he sounded like he knew what he was talking about )
It's not like im working on a mod so it doesn't matter
That's exactly 2hat he said😭😭😭😭
it is tho
If played hand contains more than 3 cards, randomly shoot (amount-3) cards and gain XMult for amount shot?
Would that make it too op for deckfixing hold on
why
but it's random so you can't choose
thats sounds pretty convoluted
I still don't get it like I think of it as a backup joker to where if you're like losing losing you can get away with a blind if you hit half chips but I don't know im not that deep into the game still
and scales really, REALLY fast
I ... well whaateva, 1 in 5 to shoot?
i was thinking 1 in 3 but I thought naaaa that's dum
also if it scales fast dial back the xmult
it quite litterally is just is x2 mult with a chance of breaking
That's what i was gonna say imagine paradolia with that legendary joker i think canio or something it would be CRAZY
actually no
it's like Mr Bones but fucking cracked with tradeoff being it's 50%
Being that it's GUARANTEED to win
if you one hand the blind anyway next blind is guaranteed free
yeah so basically reduce blind requirement by 50%
next blind is Vessel?
Basically
boom, next hand is free anyway
you also need to play another hand as well so its actually worse than x2 mult
"at least 50%, next hand wins" would have to either mean it does or doesn't carry over
if it doesn't, it's garbage
It does
Finally someone speaking up to me😭😭🙏🙏
fym carry over
It's "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't" over here because either way it's kind of not very fun to play with on practice
what
If a blind is 500 and i have only 2 hands left and i play my second to last and it's brings me to 250 the next hand no matter what it is will just wins the rest
either way it's not very good, I would recommend the "Shoot" part be used
Okay okay it's ass I get it guys i just like drawing shit💔💔💔
it is quite litterally worse x2 mult tho tf are yall on
yeah we're just discussing. also the chance to break just seems like it shouldn't be there imo
Wait let me show you why I added it
Cool👅
what
Bang! For when it shoots cards and destroys them
"how this is not very good" probably
"throwing ideas against the wall for balance" most likely
It's not that deep man just nerding💔💔
honestly who GAF its not like youre implementing it
yeah honestly it ain't that deep we nerding I agree
I actually like the idea it would be really cool
I also make theoretical jokers that only sometimes get added to mods.
And hav3 a sound effect whenever a card is destroyed
not interested
sorry
For example, I made this and I didn't even know it would become mult Hiker
well if you're gonna put someone down for that then just don't talk to them about that
dawg i wasnt even talking to you bruh
doesnt matter

Was it added to a mod?
it's still not very cool to just go "who cares"
yes actually
iroyokia's playbook
it's just Hiker but +5 mult instead of +5 chips lol
except it just does it for Spades
Evil hiker
Played Spades gain
I won't do the math but it sounds hella good
basically, play spades they gain extra mult directly
like how hiker does it
good for retriggers
Probably because I said spades are my favorite suit
Oh oh I forgot how hiker worked i thought it staked on the joker itself
yeah, but it just says
"Played Spades gain "
Not like you won't find out super easy lol
i made this toadette for a luigi texture pack but it probably wont get used
is this luigis balatro
luigi's casino
so its not luigis balatro
Yeah I think it's missing something
wow
so yes it is luigi's balatro
I keep forgetting you aren't nxkoo
When will yall make papermario balatro🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
what would that be?
paper Balatro where Jimbo is in the Paper Mario style
When we get a good paper mario again!
(Remakes dont count)
that actually works really well as a mod or texture pack idea
holy shit
Paper Jimbo
"Sucks that these Stickers are all virtual..."
Im playing ttyd rn after 64, this shit is so peak
proceeds to spend 1 million years on the texture pack
LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE😭🤞🤞🤞
"I guess we were the Splashed..."
TTYD is the best one so, nice man
chips are stickers
best part of balala modding is you can make it yourself
64 is better for romhacks tho (Dark Star Edition made me feel feelings I cant describe)
theres nothing stopping you
i mean im happy to make the textures themselves but i got all of no experience in modding(/changing textures)
nor do i know a whole lot about paper mario (im still getting around to playing the good ones)
malverk is pretty intuitive ithink
my joker is old
yeah see thats the first time ever reading that word
are you being ironic i cant tell
about not knowing what malverk is? no
Yeah I know I will probably stop after ttyd heard the rest are bad
then you should definitely check it out lmao
dude they added hell to my paper bruh
nice
but that still doesn't get around the other issue of i don't know enough about paper mario 😭😭
retrospective video
That's how I learned about kingdom hearts lore
i like this idea more but it costs more time
Well actually thinking about it im probably gonna be making a paper mario inspired joker so maybe if it turned out good I can send it and maybe have it used in a paper mario mod if it ever become a thing
still just playit lmao
yeah i will... at some point
best to consume the original media
ESPECIALLY when youre making a mod based around it
that's why i first wanna make a deck texture pack
for my beloved
i cant send gifs i guess
uuh
people dual post I'm gonna dual post
(art and modding posting that is)
Yeah and also just because it's actually a really good rpg for what it's worth peak gaming
no
im using tenor
just kina
kinda
on my phone
since it doesn't use links
(built-in feature)
😭
this is hell
i can see why gif may or may not have been blocked
Super is still good, its nothing like paper mario but its a good game
they fucking killed a whole world
if you look up super paper mario in gifs apparently theres a whole gif war in there
It’s very subtle and I dig it, very well done 👍
her joker is old
If you're doing Paper Mario Balatro you gotta have a Dimentio Joker.
A bunch of custom decks
egg
Cursed Joker - Die in 7 Blinds unless a card is duplicated. creates a Cryptid and destroys self when condition is met
No Title (BOSS Blind Bet)
Must score at least 3 times the base
Reward: $4
Randomly destroy deck hands so that only 13 hands remain
"Everything comes crashing down"
Okay so cryptposting has legendary blinds (blinds that appear if u have a legendary joke) and I made art for my legendary one
Ruby roulette
Oh and a metal tag
-# It's just a tag
Blacksmith Tag
It’s not spectral tag, it’s ethereal
I feel like blacksmith tag is also just a cool name
PET THE GHOST if that makes sense
fat lady advocate
holy shit ppl are advocating for me??
i still need to play nine sols tho
everyone does.,.
oh it worked! alright
hey
hey
hey
hey
alright yallre speakin my language
correct! that language being English

darn tootin
Yarn lootin
i wanna make a joker...
but i dont know who!!!
(i already finished eridan and my own oc)
Be the joker
Who?
ive got a recommendation, but you might be able to guess that
i honestly dont...
tell me!!!
i will consider
unbiased recommendation btw
ive never discussed anything about her or done anything related to her ever
i had friends who played it and loved it so im a little interested

alright, sketch is done! first guesses go!
i played it on release it has been in my head since
Is it a specific character or a role of sorts?
specific character
Don’t know the name but ghoul from that fallout show?
had a cute idea to try to doodle when i get home
lil boss intros for each blind, kinda like isaac
i wanna draw the needle as like. a weird little hummingbird thing
his hat!
bandit ror??
some more!
what
uamee is that you?
/me hasn't listened to uamee in forever
Now that you say it…
dithering.,.
Oh that looks so cool so far :0
UNFATHOMABLY FUCKING PEAK

progress!
Plague doc, but who
getting closer!
plague janitor
The Plague Doctor from Vigil; The Longest Night?
nope
also! :3
now for the background ^u^
i think i'll just say who this is though
this is Zero II from Zero Time Dilemma
9 to go
awesome!
but damn Hawaii is expensive
ya buying a country would probably be pricey
these are the four evil boss blinds nobody talks about but they really suck
this implies the existence of good boss blinds
serpent
I fucking hate the water
the silent run killer
The other 3 are okish
man fuck the fish
Oh true I forgor what the fish does
if you don't kill it fast you're DEAD
Unless you have the splash joker
I feel like that one kinda makes the facedown cards easier
Man I love using a card that most people don't see the potential in it
Splash my beloved
True
Like ante 1 or 2 or something
Holy shit, Zero II!!!!!
oh no. (3 left)
Do you also have plans for showdown blinds?
Maybe not
