no!!! i gave up on mine i am only working on clarissa and clarence :(
(I will download everyone's tbh)
Ur haley is best haley
I should fix up Lyells npc replacement mod his walk sprites are so ugly
Who does he replace?
ID LOVE to see them!!!!!
Narco really making me wanna do a npc mod replacement hahdjf
I really should get more work done on the CoL mod today ugh
he replaces elliot
do it!!! I wOULD TOTALLY MARRY DAMIAN
I will download it once i get my laptop fixed!!
HAGAH AWWW
PLSSSSS
nvm i can't do haley like that sorry
We're thinking of making the dev server public and there are admin things I need to do in prep for that
But im thinking of redoing it so he replaces leah? idk
I like her heart events more and they seem much more lyell to me
Hmm you could make a separate thing so people have the choice?
I wanted to do it before and replace Demetrius but that makes him Seb's stepdad and i was like ahhdjd nevermind
HMMM I COULD
I wish I could do custom heart events bc then i could completely remake clarissa's dialogue
and clarence's too
SAME
OH YEAH
You could learn how to add custom characters to the game.
i cannot for the life of me figure out how to write them??? i followed a guide and everything and couldnt
Custom npc hasnt been updated in forever
For damian's heart event he throws u
have you tried asking the people in modding?
I saw one with like
Nah you can add new characters.
im gonna replace clint entirely
Someone made their fiancé on it
I have and like. I got made fun of by this person i really rather not go in
OH KEY THATS A GOOD IDEA
Can my Damian heart even be that he roundhouse kicks me and i fangirl
what??? that's so rude???
HAGSHAH NARCO
It happens I guess
Damn clown ppl can be so rude I'm sorry
AWH clown..god im so sorry
Why would they make fun of you??
Well I suggested someone teaching me how to update it so i can make a unoffical update for beta and the person got really mad at me. i didnt realize that was bad thing to suggest
But are you? 👀
LMAO
Ah, yeah, some of the modders seem to think that anyone should be able to just go teach themselves how to do anything.
what a jerkbag
That's not bad as long as it's for like personal use and not redistributed and the mod author gives permission
I should update clarissa's farmer thingy it's ugly and I hate it
im sure its incredible mags!!! all of ur stuff is even when u say its not??
^
it's so crusty dsljfldskf
Mood
nooOoooOo
MOOD MOOD MOOD
is beautiful
okay but like maggie your stuff is great
U GUYS'S STUFF ARE HOT
they have swag they lit
wish i could draw like that
Maggie please this is about you not me
yall both are good
ur right i do love talking abt me
do not turn this around and compliment me when i am trying to praise your rad art
u////u
Comparison isn't healthy for anyone
B-baka!!!
no1
omg perish narc
Yes 🤗
ok so like in this one shot its in the same universe as my main story so Abi and sam are a thing, so like... I just made Penny and Seb a thing and like.... holy shit I love them?
what a odd couple i love it
Oh huh Penny and Seb I didnt really consider that
but does seb want a million childern
I really appreciate distinct, recognizable art styles.
SAME HAT THO
Penseb
love me those recoizable styles
Personally I don't really understand "how does art style" like ??????
But some people just have naturally unique styles
Art style is like handwriting
I just realized if i replace leah with lyell, lyell would give birth to a baby and i dont want that
dsljflkdsfjlg
I mean seb wouldn't want 1 trillion kids but like he would settle down in the end I think
And styles can't be better or worse than other styles. They're all unique for their qualities and techinques.
Yeah he'd settle down
and lets be real, they so nerdy they would sit read and play tabletop games all day
Worded so well Stranger
clarissa is afraid of children
(we stand by our typos in this house)
and clarence hates them
but oh well I'm making them marriage candidates anyway they will suffer
So here's a question: What would your farmer OCs be doing in Pelican Town if they weren't farmers, but NPCs instead?
Clarissa would probably be like evelyn and work on her gardens
Pfffff
I feel like he'd be a hired hand
Damian would most likely be the Wizard's apprentice
like your farmer could go to him and hire him for a day or a week to water crops, care for animals etc
Clarence would probably replace Clint and be the blacksmith bc he's hardcore and for being small, he's stronk
god i live for this oc talk
Hard same Key
That's sweet Clown i love it..still in character
Oh i know Key
I love this community love talking abt my OCs
Clarissa tends to the gardens and sometimes waters too much bc she's busy staring at haley who is passing by going somewhere
I like that concept a lot Clown.
i think the candidates easiest to replace like?? without. ties to other characters are probably elliot, willy, leah, clint, harvey, the wizard, the dwarf and krobus i guess if youre okay with a shopkeeper--basically everyone that lives in their own separate location??
But like I think Damian might also work alongside of Morris? But he doesnt like it or learns not to like it?
Because Pre-SDV Damian was a rich kid asshole
yeet
haha hey there
I saw that
I really need to work in a quick drawing style for myself..
(They were awesome Furret)
But AAA nothing suits mee
I like to think he'd help Evelyn out a lot
I just love Clarissa bc she is so in love and it's so fun to write such a pure romance
they were!!!
CUTE
Thats true Key! Thats why I see so many ppl replace the Wizard and Dwarf(?) because few portraits and like they dont go out much
AND AW THANKS
Clarissa likes to grow sunflowers on her farm just to give them to Haley
glad u lov him even tho he used to be a snobby fuccboi
i dont have it in me to replace the dwarf theyre too good
FOR FRICKS SAKE
CLARISSA AW
Still awsome
r u doin ok
that makes me like him more omg?? and clarissa is so gay shes the sweetest
i keep posting on the vrong dc chat
Thats...sweet
Cwarrisa wuvs hawey
i need to make like. an actual oc? i have a farmer that's a self insert
i wanted to make one based off of the wilderness farm
thats completely valid tho
Guys can i say smth
Yeah self inserts ARE GOOD
THANK YU..i have like 5 ocs but for games like sdv i mostly make self inserts
it's abt clarissa btw
ABSOLUTELY always!!!
im all ears
ofc!!!! ✨✨
im listening to the saddest song right now
YESSSS that looks so good!!! poor lyellll
Dang thats really good!!
WHO HURT HIM
The facial expression
also thats rly cool turret!
@ Lyle I will buy you a drink we will talk and all will be ok
Lyell protection skwad
omg
lyell who did it point to them for me 🔪🔪
turn on their location, we just want to talk
Clarissa likes to collect little shiny rocks and and it's her most prized possession her collection of rocks but when she meets haley and starts getting close to her, she starts gifting the rocks to Haley and Haley is like, internally, "Omg i hate rocks but she's so sweet Im gonna cry" and so Haley keeps all the rocks in her private dresser until they finally get married and Clarissa's like "you Actually kept the rocks?" and Haley was like "well yeah bc I love them and I love you" and I'm gonna cry guys i lsdflsddkj just thought of this randomly and km go=inaa weepp
@ Lyle 🥃 let us talk about life and become friends

JKFGKDF shes so sweet

it wasnt a person that hurt more so he has major depression and ptsd so sometimes he breaks down and cries
AOIOHGHH CUUUUTE
we're fistfighting his depression
omg...do it
sdfjildskgjldskjg;sdf
JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR
DEPRESSION IS CUTE NOW??
Lyell's depression meet me at the back of a Denny's
I wanna draw clarissa giving haley some rocks now ;-;
JSJSJA JAY
denny's is so cryptic tbh
CLARISSAAAA AWHHHHH..god i fucking stan her and haleys relationship
GRABS A WINE
this is Extremely late bc im checking out the backlog of this chat, but
i think shohei would probably work at the adventurer's guild and act as a body guard for people who want to mine for materials but cant protect themselves
OH WOW i almost forgot abt the adventurers too!!! that's awesome!!!
KSHGLDKFG DID U JUST CALL ME A TWINK
Clarissa is so in love she would literally die for Haley bc the poor girl has never been in love before and is kinda mentally traumatized so she can't really figure out what a healthy love life is like but she still loves haley nonetheless
JDUCIDDUDHDHDH
OOF
IM LAUGHING
ARE YOU ONE THO?
I FORGOT THE COMMA
AWH CLARISSAAA..shes valid im glad haley at least treats her right as hell
Shohei is long and slender but theyre so skilled and a fighter i love them
a twink....
AFDKJFLLSDFSDF IM SO SORRY IM A MESS
their dnd character would be a ✨ Rogue ✨
or a bard
Idk shit abt dnd does anyone know what clarissa and clarence would be
If ur character is muscular and can play music are they a bard-a
Clarissa would be like acolyte
my wife came to me in a dream
damian would be a bard (college of glamor) because that archetype is all about getting hotter as you level up and damian is hot [send tweet]
HGAJSHS KYLE LMSHH
hi other than sdv, i live and breathe dnd
she said "maggie omg I'm so glad you're back" i was kidnapped
my messages are cryptic im so sorry
I love u Kyle I'm framing that hahhds
;0
I need to flesh out Cassidy!!!
dfjgkbhdfgdfghdf Yall.
its what you deserve !!!
Cause i know nothing about him and he's my OC!!!
also i could def help with dnd stuff if u wanna work on an au with ur sdv farmers (tho not at the moment)
i just need like, more info on ur oc LMAO
Oooh thats understandable
I only played one session of dnd and made a necromancer OC
He had a pet spider
ive been in a few campaigns and im actually working on becoming a DM myself
WHICH REMINDS ME
i think my favorite thing about shohei being nonbinary is that you cant use boy/girlfriend with them, so there's gender neutral terms like "date friend"
my fav is "datemate" bc it can be shortened to DM and im just imagining
shohei: IM YOUR DUNGEON MASTER, ROLL FOR INITIATIVE
sebastian: oH MY FUCKING GOD.
HAHAHAHA KYLE THATS ADORABLE LOL
I never knew that but thats so cute and I can totally see Seb reacting that way. Look at those two nerds
And ugh sorry Jev
I hope u find good ppl to play it with especially since dnd is a rly long session
posted lyell in creative
Shohei and Sebastian on a date and Shohei has to tell Seb to roll for initiative everytime Seb asks to kiss them or hold their hand
pfff omg
LKDFNJGLDFKNGDFG JAY
HAHAHA
this just in: maggie cant fuckin draw people kissing and it's frustrating her to no end
RIP SEBASTIAN
drawing couples is the worst
i tried using a ref but even that attempt was in vain
i know if i keep drawing it ill get better at it but i want it to be good already
so i dont bother
and this is why i cant draw couples
creative-stubborness
Relatable that's why i always draw the same pose
MAN JEV THATS A MOOD
me with side profiles and l..legs
I'm a leg man but i hate drawing LEGS
Also wow Narc thats really cute aww!
I sort of just do the thing
Yes ur improving!
i dont care what it looks like, if i draw it i will get better in time so i draw it even if it looks terrible
Thats admirable clown
but ive always been spiteful like that
I drew female Marlon yesterday i forgot if i shared
Half side for de win
i hate them
faces are pretty easy for me
Portraits can eat my butt
faces are easy when theyre not side profiles for me LOL
i can pretty much draw each part of the human body my struggle is putting the peices together correctly and making it flow
how do the hips even attach to the hips??? that shit is hard
but thats what happens when you learn to draw the way i did. i started off drawing each part on its own to learn how but never really grasped how to put it all together
but ahh yeah haha
sweats
I feel. How even hips.
joints man wtf are those
For real
Whelp
conceptualizing human flow? dont know him
Now I'm imagining everyone's OCs dancing to Shakira and it's all Jay's fault
omfggg
Can i eat the hips im still hungry
oh god...lyell would dance like a first class dad
you know the dad dancing....you know
Fighting (swords, martial arts, etc) is not completely unlike dance so I bet Knox could pick it up real easy. The conflict-heavy region Knox is from on her home planet is basically a warrior culture and she's no exception.
https://kanosaurus.deviantart.com/journal/EMERGENCY-COMMS-0-265-749464439 unsure where to post but im in dire need of cash ;;
(theres no advertising allowed!!)
I've been sitting on these fuckin sprites for like three days I wanna die why can't i just get them done
Those are looking great so far Maggie
ya!!!!
its been three days alskdjf
That hair is impressive
omg the hair is what i edited the most bc I couldn't find a way to make it look good I'm glad u think it is!!
I agree, the hair looks fantastic
it looks great
Can definitely tell you put a ton of love into it
Evanescence is beautiful i dont give a fuck!!!
ANd maggie your art is beautiful as hell
fjfdloj thank you ;-;
hey bot remind me in 4 hours to redo trivia
k (#260351)
jdlfsjld i wish i knew how to make custom heart events tbh
i wanna make my mod amazin but i suck at coding and computer stuff
Custom heart events actually aren't too hard to make, but they're super time consuming
Ive tried to write custom events so many different times
I'm trying to look up a guide but I can't find one
Here's a page for reference: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data
← Index
i looked up a guide for everything but I can't get anything to work
the thing is this guide doesnt do a step by step example of how to write it. like yes it has a full example i can reference from but i tried that many times and it didnt work
Spacechase also has a tool called Stardew Valley event editor which makes it easier to make events if you know the commands: http://spacechase0.com/mods/stardew-valley/editor/
No problem
Damn it that mod is out of date it doesnt work anymore
What if......
We played sdv together with our farmers just a thot
Clarissa would finally have friends
no lie id adore that?? i was thinkin abt it earlier today!!!
there's a way to mod in more cabins im p sure
Yeah I saw a guide for adding lots of people
Turn the farm into a sub division
Creative fam farm
Then we sell out the community center to joja corporate overlords, and turn the main farm house into a community center!
After that we'll overthrow mayor Lewis and claim pelican town as ours!
Ok I'm in, Lewis has to go
YOU HAVE MY SWORD
VIVA LE REVELUTUON
I'd be down for that 👀
ill have to use one of the default hairstyles for my farmer or else she'll be BALD
you can make them bald though. you just havve to make a hairstyle totally see through
JSDHSJSHSJSH i had to use a mod to get my farmers hair since video games usually never have mine by default 😞😞
I need to make my farmers hair in the game. theres one thats close but its too like....non poc
sdv somehow had my hair
Clarissa just has regular long hair so I don’y have to worry abt anything really so that’s nice
i want a poc hairstyles moddddd
SAME
JSUCUDEHUDDJDHDHSHSH i cant believe my farmer got snatched
i have like..rlly long curly poofy hair and i always have to settle for. mildly wavy
catch me just fishin n farmin
if i mine i die 20 times
Let’s make a lil dm group?
i wish i could play but my internet is too slow
Awe :(
I'm a pretty good miner, i think
i could try though!
validddd..mine sucks with sdv multiplayer sometimes too
im good at everything 😎
Jev jack of all trades
jev of all trades
Jeck
I WANT TO PLAY ONCE I GET A NEW BATTERY FOR MY COMPUTER!!!
im good at... organizing 👀
I'm a nice interior decorator
back at my old farm, i organized my crops and forges like crazy
i have a chest for each season, a mining chest, misc chest, and a fish chest
I discovered decorating in SDV and so basically threw my money at Robin every day
I am good at everything Also
i wish sdv had bigger fridges
I don’t wanna just draw ur ocs I wanna play with them Also
There's probably mods for bigger fridges
mods r sin
Clown my internet is super slow as well but it seems to usually work with multiplayer, just lags out once in awhile and I need to rejoin (which means I should never be the host for a game but can probably join others).
Also @fading hawk
I bet you'd do a hella fine job making a poc hairstyle mod
I could try maybe and maggie if you do the game thing id love to try and join
host!!!
Massive multiplayer mod has a few bugs but is definitely playable
The main bugs being: Don't open social tab (you'll crash)
Never use the journal trick to stay up (it'll mess things up)
Don't destroy cabins while others are in the game (it'll crash the entire game; you can destroy them when no one else is in though)
Maybe a few others. I've watched a lot of a YTer who livestreams massive multiplayer sdv
I dont really feel like getting on right this moment but perhaps later
exciting i would love to play with you guys
oooh, more players!
The programmer I'm working with for CoL mod actually just did a kick/ban mod for multiplayer (because some people have had trouble with problematic rando players)
Still needs a bit more testing by the YTers we're working with but is functional.
I saw it on Reddit
maybe i shouldnt play right now im doing sort of bad mentally. ive had a really stressful day and i wouldnt want to get even more upset with the multiplayer if it doesnt work
Vanilla multiplayer works very well I believe. Don't know what bugs are more common in that vs mmp.
Rn since I can’t host too many people if you wanna play just dm me and I’ll give you the code
its not that, i run my internet off my phone. which is like dail up speed. i can barely load tumblr half the time.
Gotcha, yeah that might not work.
maybe we could plan out a specific day and time??
then again there's the concern that people might not show
esp me since my schedules wishy washy
yeah i would have to go to the library to be able to play with you guys and most days im uh, not well enough to leave my apartment
I'd love to join, but I'm going to go on a long trip soon and my schedule will be all ovre the place.
Me like: "I really need to work on CoL mod admin stuff today"
Also me: "wow so many other things I could distract myself with"
Totally understand that Clown
yeah, totally understand it
im looking at getting a lot worse though, my insurance coverage is being changed to a different one but until then i dont have insurance and im about to run out of meds
When I first joined the CoL team, literally the next day my bootleg internet stopped working and for a few days I had to go to the library to get anything done while waiting for my ex to come fix it (since he set it up, and it's complicated and beyond my IT knowledge) and it was literal hell.
i can join, but once school's out, i'll be busy on fri,sat,sun
Yeah it makes posting art really hard because it takes five-ten mins to upload anything
Its really shitty they should keep you covered during the transition process
awh clown..i really really hope things pick up for you, that sounds terrible
we should plan a day like maybe in the weekend?
(what's CoL?)
yeah!!!! that way it gives us also a chance to figure out who all wants to peep in
oof
i have work aa
well we could have like rotating days
ah that seems fair
I'm usually always available to play bc I don't have much else to do most of the time
sameeee, i just sleep a lot and duck in and out socially
I can make a list to organize everything and rotate when we can
(also what's happening?)
Yeah, same. I just sleep a lot and do a couple of chores and go out a few times a week.
we're gonna plan out multiplayer which we should probably be doing elsewhere now that I think about it
oh
but yeah if anyone is interested, please dm me and I'll organize it all!
doing a sketch sheet for Elisa hhhh
👀
Cute!
Ooh neat
That's super cute Callie
aa thank you guys ;;
To write, to draw, or to add the last cat type I made to CP so I can post it with the seasonal ones?
you guys do know there's a #multiplayer-lfg-old channel 
while i think it's cool you guys are being friends, there is an entire server! there is also a big and nice community. you don't have to stay in here and do everything in here.
(the dm suggestion was good but i just wanted to add)
also blue all are good choices, i wish u the best
@lone mountain: redo trivia (4h ago)
im too laaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy
DO IT THE BOT TOLD YOU TO
remind me in a hour to do a pelican town cover
uuuhhhh thanks bot
Remind me at 9 to do a pelican town cover
THANKS BOT
REMIND ME IN 1 HOUR TO DO A PELICAN TOWN THEME COVER
[remember what they said in anger management...deep breaths...] YES I WOULD BE SO HAPPY TO ASSIST (#260542)
┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ)
lmao
Glad I could make someone laugh with that
glad to know the bot hates someone else also
ME: DO A PELICAN TOWN THEME COVER (1h ago) [Requested by Riku]
do u guys ever have the sudden realisation that you're an artist and so u can draw any gotdang thing you want and literally no one can stop you??? cause i did mid-tofu bite lol
Yes! That's why I wanted to learn to draw in the first place hehe
Sometimes I realize that and freeze and become unable to decide what to draw lmao
i do that with my writing tbh
So many possibilities!!!!!!
So much potential
“ψ(`∇´)ψ i can draw my ocs kissing whomever i want im too powerful
I need to figure out drawing people interacting, like doing the smush smush face and all
ive never had that thought
if it makes u feel any better ive been drawing my whole life and i still cant draw kisses. im a fraud
I kinda wanna do a lazy comic with characters that dont matter that I never post, just to practise new poses+ characters interacting + backgrounds
for backgrounds try not going too wild at first
I try to practice poses with the art challenges hehe
just do fore, mid, and back ground and take it in chunks
I started off smol for backgrounds
Drew Andy with a shelf on a wall behind her lmao
I'm behind on the art challenge tbh ;-;
I just
hate following things
Like
Consistancy who?
thats good, but really try breaking it into chunks. [this was the best example i had on hand orz] but each chunk is a different colour in different folders so that way i can kinda pretend its one cohesive bkgd
but i forgot to do it and now i dont remember the name of the challange
I skipped challenge #11 yesterday 🤣
then u just draw ur person between folder chunks and it looks like they belong
it reminds me of the hobbit or fallout for some reason
its not perfect but it gives u a good idea on how to place things
tbh doing backgrounds digitally is so hard to do
Breaking it into chunks is solid advice, thnk
Hopefully more awake me will remember
But also @ feble, I love the colours you generally use in art
So peaceful
should remind u of fallout, thats what its for haha
thank uuu
youve improved a lot since you started posting! i keep an eye on creative a lot lol
👏🏽 👏🏽
I love it
I was looking at art tablets today
Died a lil inside at the prices lmao
try g-
huion is a cheaper alternative, but so is monoprice
The smallest they had was this small wacom for $130-ish?
Barely bigger than my tablet, and I think I'd just get frustrated at a small one
yeah im on a tiny wacom rn and it's...rough. i miss my ugee
Cept, even $99 isnt exactly affordable for me
I'm working in NZD tho
but monoprice i got a decent sized one for around 60$
but before that i had a small flexible one for about 40$
trust and believe i dont do name brand unless i have to
tbh the only problem about the $99 wacom is that when i have to line, its uncomfortable for me to do because my hand sometimes has to lay on the very edge
i feel it
i need a new thing for my ugee cause i miss that 19" draw space
come back to meee
is looking at monoprice now
Seems decent, def gonna bookmark for future me
it'll be a while until i muster enough money for copic ciao markers and then invest on uuuh
a bigger tablet
I dont understand the hype of copic??? But then
I've never rly cared for using markers in general
The monoprice is okay that’s what I have
copics are refillable which is the big deal
i prefer prismas but once its dead its dead
I have a monoprice too and I'm happy with it.
Probs gonna go with monoprice either at the end of this year or start of next then OuO
yee
any idea what program you wanna use? its a lotta trial and error but i can rec some good ones
ME TOOO
firealpacas good then haha. i got manga studio and then upgraded to clip but i bought it when it was like 50% off
I dont rly do digital art now cause I got frustrated with how slow using a mouse can be lol
Hopefully I'll like it more with a tablet
Just be aware that it might take a little bit of time getting used to a tablet.
Is the alpaca on fire?
hi friends I have writers block and I hate it lmao 

nah he is fire
I have writers procrastination
I have all purpose procrastination
I have eternal procrastination!!
same
I wanna write about my Nerdy farmer and sam and Sebnny playing DnD/ Vydia games/ shit for a big oneshot... fuck u writers block
Everyday I'm like, 'I could write today,'
And then I go to, 'I could write tomorrow lol'
mood
sometimes doing something else helps ease off the block
or writing another thing unrelated to what you're doing now
like spending a whole day playing Stardew Valley
I wasn't even in an artist's block, I just wanted to play stardew valley and hang around my favorite bunch of pixels 🤣
what I did when I had writers' block with a fic I was writing, was rewrite the fic in a completely different light
or start on another fic
it usually works
Use fire alpaca but upgrade to something else asap if your only doing art and not gifs or w/e
i think the next think i draw i might finally try to learn how to use that tablet my fiance got for me for christmas
i dont hate linework, im just doing it on my phone and its super tedious
smol space
I recommend medipaint Bcs Its easy to learn and the brushes are better than fire alpaca imo
ive never used medipaint but firealpaca is p barebones
its like. if you took all the bells and whistles outta bigger drawing programs
What kinda phone do you use? And what app?
I draw on my Saumsung Note 8 vry occasionally, but the app I used was just
too limited
Bare bones?
note 3, sketchbook
im pretty new with digital art so i dont make use of 90% of the tools provided in most programs anyway lol
"Sketchbook for Galaxy" ?
MOOD
yep
I currently only use 2 brushes out of everything in the brushes menu
guess I had a wip from sometime ago
theres also a spot on the right side of the screen that doesnt seem to sense things correctly and it makes wonky lines
ive had the screen fixed twice
where "People edge" is ?
so i have to zoom in and move everything to the left lol
I don't draw on my phone bcs 1, no stylus and 2, I have long nails
I got my phone because it had a Stylus lol
Wanted to be able to draw on it
im honestly doing way better than i would on a tablet
I understand Bcs your drawing on the screen and you know what your doing better
I've never used a tablet, so I kinda wanna get one just to see what its like
I might end up rly liking it shrugs
It took me at least 2 days to get used to it
tablets don't feel quite the same as paper, and so you gotta get accustomed, as Maggie said
mm, I'm definitely going to keep it in mind to keep at using the tablet for a week or so before deciding if I like it or not
it is difficult at first but when you understand its logic it gets way easier
yea
Once you get used to moving your hands on the tablet, and then seeing the results in the screen, you won't want to go back 😄
TBH I draw better digitally
lol, I love drawing digitally cause I was always better with it
But until I get a tablet, I kinda prefer traditional rn, I'm getting decent with water colour
i enjoy both
digital is more accessible for me but i think i can draw better traditionally
I need that gif of the cartoon dudes going
"Both, both is good"
digitally has always been easier for me?? just because i got shaky hands and i tend to press down hard
thus my traditional stuff looks a hot mess
jdflkdsjf i Hate traditional i will never go back to it unless I Absolutely Have to
I just like traditional cause I can take my sketchbook anywhere and still use my laptop while sketching lol
It's cool to see how different people approach art differently and have different preferences for creating it tho
i have a particular method for coloring things with marker and colored pencil that makes things almost look digital
Oof I love people who can do that
that takes so much skill honestly
Before I got a tablet, I wanted markers to go that art style
Gonna finish this page tomorrow ;-;
Is looking nice! TBH I can never be so productive like you when it comes to traditional
Productivity comes and goes with me lol
Lately I'm productive cause I do sketching while half asleep
And will slowly chip at drawings while playing Skyrim or Sims 4
That looks so cool ;o @ Star
The lil laaaaamp
Omf that's amazing
its all marker and colored pencil lol
I almost believed that it was digital for a sec
the crowns kinda in a weird spot but its supposed to be floating? idk tonberries are weird
thanks btw!
thank ;D
Hmm interesting
perhaps I could look up to make my coloring better
Okay. I added a lavender (really a faded, low-sat brown, but that's what that's called in cat), orange, ghost and seasonal cat types to my mod. Time to fiddle with the CP side of things to make sure they all load.
Y'all, today's pelican town theme about to be LIT
Sweet!
Tbh id mod out my game hardcore but I have no time to download smapi ug
it's super quick to download
it takes a lot more to look through all the awesome mods
I downloaded it but I don't think I inserted the mod right
But
I'll try to do it all over again tomorrow
Alright 👌
I love the texture of traditional and the cleanliness of digital
my eyesight is kinda poor so I sketch traditionally and ink digitally!
I wish I had one of those LED tablets TOT

KIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL MEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'll send you good vibes or something
Thank you Mead
ack Im so sorry that happened toyou
That's all I needed, thanks
Digital based artforms are heartbreaking sometimes
Luckily, all my work is saved, the only thing I need to redo are the bad jokes that accompany each cover. Plus, it's all backed up online so it's good
BUT NOW IT'S DECIDING TO DO UPDATES AND RESTART AGAIN THANKS COMPUTER
Thank goodness
Oh no!! I'm so sorry!
I haven’t drawn Haley in a while
Maybe I’ll draw her with Clarissa
I love them......
Today is just "art struggles" day
Yeah, I'm probably skipping today's challenge too, not feeling up to it
rip
Just the ebb and flow I suppose
Do you guys have any drawing markers you would recommend that aren't too pricey and don't bleed? I'm looking for some actual "drawing" markers now that i'm getting better with my art
i used prismacolor for years but they dont meet your needs
but, if you get marker paper (its slightly thicker than tracing paper) they dont bleed as much. If youre worried about them bleeding through your paper then you can put a piece of thin cardboard to keep it from bleeding onto other pages
plus a little bleeding is helpful for blending and rendering!
but if thats not what youre going for then you just have to give the colors a minute to dry before you use other colors
don't mind me casually disappearing for a few hours to deal with mental health stuff
The right paper is paramount for art markers, and if you're looking to get even inexpensive art markers you should also look at the right paper. A surface that allows the ink to move about on the page a little is desireable, and also tends to bleed less. That being said, you can probably look on Youtube for "cheap art marker reviews" and watch a few to see what people recommend - as well as see them in use. There are lots of little reasons why you might prefer one over another once it's in your hand, and seeing people use them makes it easier to consider those things.
^ @patent prism
That said, a lot of people seem to like faber castel art markers. I have a small collection and a cheap sketchbook with nonmarker paper, I can put down some color and show you the bleed. They show through the other side of the paper but I've never had problems with them bleeding onto the next sheet, even in this notebook. But the blend isn't the best (might be better on proper art paper).
They're more middle-ground price-wise, so not the cheapest but also not copics.
the great thing about copics is that you can refill them. In the long run theyre pretty economical
a lot of my prismas are drying out because ive had them since highschool lmao
hm....i think i might be done with this? I was gonna put text on it but i think that might ruin it now 
Yeah. If you're just getting into markers it's probably best to get slightly better paper and low-end markers (like less than $20 for a set of six basic colors that you'd use, like skin tones or earth tones or brights, depends on what you draw) just to see if you really enjoy the medium, then, if so, slowly start to experiment with one or two higher-end markers here and there in favorite colors to find the brand you like and then start building your collection.
screw it, imma post it now
Kinda unrelated but still about creative stuff
And when he got bored of her he dumped her
And she had this 48 pack o prismas he gave her at one point
And she gave it to me because she couldn't bear to look at it
Yikes
I feel really bad for my friend having to go through that and she's a lot better now but I'm really grateful for getting those prismas
I bet
i know that story had a point
but y'all get really comfortable in here, and while it's nice you feel that comfortable, reminder about the rules
specifically about dark subjects
"This Discord is meant to be a lighthearted place to escape from life's problems and discuss a common hobby. It's not a substitute for therapy or counselling. Bringing major life problems including drug use, abuse, and mental illness into the server is not appropriate."
not saying it's barred completely (no one cares if you say "i have depression" or "i'm autistic" and are serious about it) but when it comes to discussing or telling stories that's when we enter a gray area
this isn't the only time this has happened in this channel so i'm not calling you out specifically, you're fine. it's an honor people feel so comfortable in here that they can approach sensitive topics. but i think it's just a good reminder to make
Oh ok sorry about that! I'll keep that in mind for the future!
Sorry to anyone that I might have upset!
it's good
❤
oh gosh
i dont draw with digital much but some of that relates to me
mainly the "this idea seemed cooler yesterday at 3am"
lol
my problem with my coloring pencils is "oh hell, is this blue or is this purple? I can't tell, I must be going blind."
one of my problems is "i traced it but it still looks really different....tf"
welp gtg
bai
or "so many sketch lines, which ones are the ones that I have to actually use for the outlines?"
okies, bye! 👋
yay, I think I finally managed to properly update my mod
yay!
Okay, yeah! SMAPI catches the update! 😄
in relation the the picture, flips it horizontally and screams is a Mood
Gotta mirror your art throughout the entire process yo
also known as: the thing I never remember to do ever
I want to try digital someday. The thing I like the least about doing it traditionally is having to color everything by hand.
ye you should try it someday!
You've already had practice with traditional, it wouldn't be long before you'll be accustomed to the tablet
Sigh I suppose I better go to sleep. I have a long day tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to draw something for the challenge. Plus I'm feeling a bit blue and that's one of the ways my mind tells me to go to sleep <_<
oh dear 😟
Good morning everyone
Morrning
oof i didnt sketch my comic page yesterday i really should have
procrastination life man woo
yeah true facts today i have a lot of important stuff to do though so i might not be able to get to it
kjdfgdsf
draw at your own pace, no worries 👀
Does anyone keep loose papers with their drawings?
I don't because I don't have a folder for them/no room for folders
Can't stick into my sketchbook because my sketchbook is already a mess
i draw digitally only now adays
Artfight's so close ;__; so excited
hey gang idk how many of you have problems with pin users stealing ur art, but theres a code u can put on ur sites to stop it
https://help.pinterest.com/en/articles/prevent-saves-pinterest-your-site
Also if ur on artfight hmu
I'm playing again
about time they did something about the pinterest art thievery
yeahh
i hate pinterest so much
im mad they keep stealing my old ugly art 😂 if ur gonna steal it at least do the good stuff
LOL
o
so in a weird turn of events one of the ones that i tried to add a source to isnt on pin anymore?? or at least not where i could find it
wait jk i found it
dang
Ooh is art fight open? I always wanted to try it
Morning artfam
Someone who is more hip with the kids than this old man: what is artfight?
god its been a while since i've done artfight
im trying to delete a character i put up last year but i cant find the delete button
what even is artfight
its like a mass website for art trades
except you win points
and you fight for your team to win
Ooooh art fight seem interesting
I might join wiggleI need more material for examples if I wanna do commisions
and usually doing other people's characters is the best practice for that kinda thing!
I'm awake but at what cost
At the cost of not sleeping
Morning art fam
Hey stranger :^)
I'll probably draw smth once I arrive home
Have no idea what to do tho, but I guess I'll see
When you can't decide which cute girl your farmer oc will like.
On one hand: #firstworldproblems
On the other hand, this wasn't a problem for me only a few days ago. I blame every else here for this.
@chilly spear its open in that you can start setting up profiles, but the event isnt until july
but yeah hit me up on artfight i wanna follow u guys
I was trying to find an appropriate reaction pic but i can’t
Me, when clown enters the chat:
I found one
:0
:3c
;-; I'm
drawing one of my older OCs for the first time
And I cant get the spikey hair right
its supposed to just be a cloud of spike
but I keep drawing awkward blob
spiky hair is the worst
All my OCs used to have spikey hair ;-;
Kario was real
wild looking with the big hugely mane of bloo spikes
Glad Kario's changed over time lol
WHOS interested in knowing what lyell sounds like
Pfff. I was thinking Abigail and Knox at first bc I love her, but also? Maru??? Alien and astrology nerd science lady?????
Maru would shit a brick

Lyell is the devils voice
She would. Imagine Knox stealing her overalls and thinking wearing only overalls and thinking that's totally an appropriate piece of human clothing. Nothing else, just the overalls.
I should
Do it please ill be so happy
I mean I've been drawing her most commonly one of those low-sided tanks you should wear a bandeau with. Except without that. I think her species has zero shame about nudity. What even is modesty.
See now I Gotta
I should update my haley blog
Draw her draw the alien babe
I haven’t touched that blog in a while
I love characters that just dont care about nudity
Like
Being naked shouldnt be embaressing or a big deal
Do it Maggie
lyell doesnt care about nudity but he knows ppl around him does so he respect them and stays clothed
That and I have to organize the multiplayer stuff too
catch him working half nude on the farm tho lmao
I'm having way too much fun thinking of Alien Culture Headcanons tbh. Honestly Knox could work as a farmer but she'd make more sense as an NPC. Like, that iridium comet that crashed down on your farm? Surprise it has an alien girl in it.
What if she kills the previous farmer and takes their place and can shapeshift as them
D :
They try to kill the other villagers for power but can’t because everyone is immortal
No one ages no one dies
i dont think ppl are immortal in the game. thats just how every game is
Her culture condones violence but not against each other.
they sure won't be once CoL mod exists
I should write a fic abt everyone’s immortality and how they were cursed
i personally feel liek the immortal valley/purgatory theory is sort of eeeeh its aa theory thats in everything ive been interested in and im not impressed by it
I actually headcanon Qi as from her planet as well.
Qi is totally a alien
lol, sleeping beauty-esque curse
Everyones immortal and repeating the same thing year after year but arent aware of it
"purgatory valley" is people taking game mechanics as lore <_<
They're all blue or purple skinned, with hair anywhere on the spectrum of magenta/purple/aqua/navy.
Your alien race is so cool
I should tell you about their Iridium Thing sometime if you wanna hear me be a ranty nerd
Yo Dm me about it id love to hear about your ideas
Hell yeah will do
Reeeee they told me I couldn’t have my blood drawn bc I don’t have a family doctor there I coulda spent that time being productive
Why do you need to have blood taken? 😮
My psychiatrist ordered me to
Ohh. I can't see how blood samples and psychiatry relate but then again I'm not a doctor 
Probably has smth to do with how many meds I consume daily
Wrong channel for that type of talk ;P
Ffjgg i wanna draw already I am dyin
Regular blood tests are extremely important in psychiatry actually.
Gotta see how it's affecting you and make sure other things aren't going on that might possibly be An Issue
Well speaking of art, I was conflicted about arm length when drawing a character with a sword
Arm lengths + swords are so hard tbh
In what pose were they holding the sword ?
then I remember that the sword is supposed to be an extention of the body, so normal arm length is fine
the bicep and the forearm is the same length. The elbow usually stops at the bottom ribs. thats how i get the length
is more about the angle of the sword than the arm length
i would have to see the pose to tell you anything tbh
it's a work in progress 🤣
I always tuck my elbows against my sides to make sure I know where the elbow is compared to torso lol
if I gotta have a meat suit, I may as well use it as an example when drawing people
I wish I didn’t have the art style I do bc I wanna make haley pretty not cute
Try new things?
Art styles can change
You're not restricted to your art style, try whatever style you feel like it hehe
And it’s hard to achieve that smh i experiment A Lot but it always ends up the same
I fucckkffngonnng hate my art
im late but
they preform blood tests to rule out diseases and such
for mental symptoms
^
Art styles are ever-evolving, Maggie, as are techniques. Art evolves, that's the nature of it. Just because you're not producing what you want to produce doesn't mean what you're producing is bad or worth being kicked.
tru
Huh im on many a pill and ive never had a blood test for it but that's prolly cause my psychiatrist is Dumb
Being so self-critical can be counterproductive. It's far better to say "This is what I do like about my style/technique/process, and here's what I think I want to change" and work from there.
Still not the channel for health chat
I fully agree with Stranger
Like, my art style has never quite been what I wanted it to be
So I sorta, tried to adjust what I had into something I'd like more?
Said it before, I'll say it again: It's easy to compare what you make to what you imagined in your head and find it lacking. It's harder, but critically important, to figure out how to acknowledge what it's not lacking instead.
Lets just say I dont agree and move on
Once more agreeing with Stranger on that ^
I love your approach to art, tbh Stranger
are you telling me to move on?
I dont see what the big deal is. we have off topic talks all the time.
I'm saying I'm moving on from that conversation
it happens
As long as it doesn’t get super out of control it’s fine I think
Brief little spills aren’t too bad
Unless your actually uncomfortable with the topic personally? If you are just say so
dang,,,,
I always sidetrack 
I sidetrack constantly tbh esp when i get going about my oc
i agree
Yes i require conversations about ocs to sustain myself. feed me daily
i might draw an oc
with a new style ive been trying (but failing)
Now that I’m home I am too lazy to work on anything
Thanks Jar (: I try to approach art like I try to approach almost everything else in my life: "#whatevs"
I basically either am not trying at all or I'm trying way too hard.
I love everyone's OCs to be honest. Agree with Clown: Feed me
Jsjaks did u see my drawing of my farmer at the flower dance
I had not! I must have missed it before, but I just scrolled and found it. V nice
That piece makes me feel like you're getting more comfortable with facial features. I really like how you did his face.
Awhh thank yoouuu!!! I am trying v hard to improve on stuff like that so I'm glad that it's noticeable ❤
Also I'm pretty sad now because yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of the Orlando shooting. I feel like I should draw something in memoriam but I'm not sure what would even encompass the sadness that I feel
Maybe something uplifting and inspiring?
dkghdsklfjk i am listening to 8-bit tunes and now i am inspired to design all the bachelor/ettes as bosses in some sort of sdv rpg
drawing buildings is hard as fuck
Agreed
im gonna make alex a cocky prince boss and haley will probably be the matching princess
A Force One?
oh oof i don't feel like drawing anymore
same though im struggling with it
@onyx island a toy yoda!!
im on page three of my comic and im all out of ideas already. i have a general idea but no idea on how to draw it
