[fringe gyro]

Yeah, Sage was talking about Procreate the other day

to me it sounds like a fertility simulator

[echo mesa]

I mean, if you're serious about drawing, seems like the $15 would be worth

[fleet gazelle]

I’m using autodesk sketch book

Which is free

[fringe gyro]

I don't like drawing on tiny screens. I've tried mobile apps but yeah no thanks

[fleet gazelle]

Phones are to small

[fringe gyro]

yeah

and I don't have an ipad or tablet so

my laptop, a nice sheet of paper, or bust :P

[echo mesa]

My phones a decent size
But I like how my art looks using my laptop way more than anything I've drawn on my phone

[fleet gazelle]

Oh yea, next year I get a laptop cause apparently we need one for year 10

[echo mesa]

casually takes 10 million yrs to finish colouring

[shell wedge]

That's a lot of years :O

[echo mesa]

just a couple
a wee few years

[shell wedge]

Have you tried using a lasso or pen tool to speed it up? I've never touched paint so idk what all there is x_x

[mighty bronze]

casually insert the soy cheer emote here

[echo mesa]

its' not the tools I'm using slowing me down lol
it me dumb brain, doesn't wanna focus

[shell wedge]

Aww :c

You can do iiiiiit

[mighty bronze]

inhale

[echo mesa]

I'll probably get slightly more focused once it's nighttime proper at least ^~^
I should also find smthing on Netflix to watch rather than flicking between random things, I focus on drawing better if I got a continuous series of videos going lol

[mighty bronze]

[shell wedge]

Aggretsuko is kinda my go-to bg show, I have no idea why

It might be the metal music

[echo mesa]

lol, I cant do metal music anymore rip
I've rewatched House a lot while drawing tho lol

[rich delta]

for background noise i just watch jknews

[fleet gazelle]

i just draw when its like 10pm

[echo mesa]

10pm is be nearing
Since I'm drawing one pic everyday (and am rly not used to that) it'd just be nice to have it done earlier in the day lol

[fleet gazelle]

oh yea cause your 2 hours infront of me

i will try for the 1 good thing a month

thats a big try though

[echo mesa]

my month so far lol

[mighty bronze]

[storm meadow]

I’m late but I’d like to add that procreate is a very decent program. I start adding custom brushes and I’m loving it so far.

[fleet gazelle]

how do you keep up with 1 a day jar?

custom brushes like what soy?

[storm meadow]

You can download custom brushes from procreate forum or make your own just like with any painting programs out there

[echo mesa]

I keep up with one a day by having that one day off, that one day that only had a sketch
and lots of internal screaming

I'm in awe of artists who do multiple draws everyday tbh? like
how do they not take ten thousand naps

[shell wedge]

What is this... nap you speak of . _.

[echo mesa]

naps are literally the best part of existance
I miss naps ;c

[brazen lark]

i used to draw that often but then i ended up needing a wrist brace LMAO

[shell wedge]

D:

[brazen lark]

i also ended up having this really weird Perpetual bruise on my arm that wouldnt go away for a long while until i took a break from drawing

in summary, the "crunch" is a bad thing and artists should prioritize ur health before ur work

[shell wedge]

Oh geez, hope you're doin' better now at least D:

[echo mesa]

lol, my lack of ability to focus might be a perk then
means I can never draw too often
But also ye ^ hope you're doing better now 😰

[shell wedge]

Even though I've gone through hell, I'm thankful that I haven't had any wrist problems

My only drawing "battle scar" is a callus haha

[brazen lark]

i am! the bruise was abt a year ago and even lately i havent put any big projects on myself after finishin the thing

everyone take care of urself or else 🔫 👀 ill take care of u myself

[shell wedge]

°Д°

[echo mesa]

smtimes u just gotta do sme self care
My back actually suffers more from my drawing than my wrists rip

. . .and my knees, but who needs knees

[fleet gazelle]

tonight ill probs finish the chickens for the coop and thats all

yea, i don't to much

[fringe gyro]

With the mouse I don't get wrist pain, but back-of-the-hand pain yes lmao

[shell wedge]

Without knees, I wouldn't be able to say the phrase "bees knees" anymore u.u

[fringe gyro]

Only after prolonged usage tho

If I draw for an hour or more

[mighty bronze]

tbf the car accident i had pushed me to start drawing it might sound crazy but i had way too much free time in my sick leave and this is how my first OC's got born also bcs i had an angel that saved me and that's why i'm alive,i don't want to be dramatic about it lol

[fringe gyro]

Also mood, Jar. My back suffers greatly.

[echo mesa]

gives Deer careful high five as not to disturb backs

[mighty bronze]

i donut complain about my back

[echo mesa]

gives Smook a careful high five also

[fringe gyro]

\o

[mighty bronze]

o/\o

[echo mesa]

trying 2 frog

[brazen lark]

cute!! :>!

[echo mesa]

I kinda wanna go with an awesome cartoony way of frog? think I'm gonna need to draw a lot of frog to get it right tho ^~^

[mighty bronze]

froooog

[fleet gazelle]

This lil boi good?

[blazing timber]

yes

chicken

[fleet gazelle]

Think all i need to do is colouring and bg (I may just blur the trees from the game and have them as the bg)

(Also the squares on the floor are for me to light up cause a sky light)

I think this is the most effort I’ve put into art

[mighty bronze]

ooo i like how the coop looks

nice effort

[mighty bronze]

omg so i still experiment things but i find the darker pencil brush so fun to use for line art in CSP

[lament turtle]

HNEHKSO

[mighty bronze]

i lov hiiiim

[tawny kelp]

[echo mesa]

what a good lad!!!

[lament turtle]

[warped thistle]

that's huge

o.o

i haven't used sai in years omg, i'll try to colour something there today

[granite stratus]

ooh aah

also yeah its big, i used to draw super small and one day i decided that that cant do anymore

and im all about extremities and none about being reasonable

[warped thistle]

lmao

AaAaaaA I wanna show you guys my drawing but not before it's done

and I don't think drawing big is very unreasonable

[granite stratus]

yous right

[jaunty tundra]

jessus anything over 1500 is gonna lag

hoo boy

also ganbatte!!!

[granite stratus]

:'D i need to go figure out how i can access abbys character sprites to make butch abby a reality

[jaunty tundra]

i believe in u

also full wip of the drawing

its on a 1500x1500

[warped thistle]

dat ear shading

looks great, I thought it was a real one in the middle of the drawing

[jaunty tundra]

oml ty~ im really excited about this

[rich delta]

Looking great so far!

[jaunty tundra]

[fading hawk]

This is my farmer lyell at age 13

[jaunty tundra]

AAAAA so cute!!

[fading hawk]

And this is age 16 ^ ^

[jaunty tundra]

oh shes so lovely

oh my go d

[lament turtle]

I wish I was that talented

the only thing I can draw is pixel art XD

[warped thistle]

that's a talent too

[fading hawk]

Pixel art is hard tho that takes talent

[jaunty tundra]

oi pixel art is a talent of its own

pixel art is really freaking hard

[warped thistle]

truee

also that looks amazing @fading hawk

[jaunty tundra]

me with my giant brushes: what are pixels-

[fading hawk]

Thank you aaaa I love my farmer so much

[lament turtle]

Pixelart is easy... take a mathpaper thingie with like 1cm to 1 cm or 1mm to 1 mm squeares and try to create something, at the biginning I started drawing things from other people but now I make my own

[mighty bronze]

Phis fite me but there are so many brushes that i can't pick one
I still experiment things

[fading hawk]

@lament turtle pixel art is easy for you because you're talented in that field

[lament turtle]

@lament turtlekid maybe

@mighty bronze that's were art starts with making hard decisions ❤

[mighty bronze]

Exactly!!

[lament turtle]

😄

But I gave up art XD I'm a gamer and that's what I always will be....

[jaunty tundra]

ill fight u bro

use as many brushes as u want

also oof

aright time for bed for me

nini

[mighty bronze]

Sleep well

Oh and you don't have to quit,who knows you may come back to it,just take your time!

Games do take a lot of my time too

[jaunty tundra]

One more thing i was obsessing over sdv and then my tablet came in and im like

Such nerves on this guy

[jaunty tundra]

[fading hawk]

they meant peni parker wtf

[jaunty tundra]

[fading hawk]

That's disgusting wow

[mighty bronze]

Yup this is fucked up

[fading hawk]

Block their ass

[jaunty tundra]

[fading hawk]

Protect the children's

[stable elbow]

already did 😌

[jaunty tundra]

[mighty bronze]

[fading hawk]

[jaunty tundra]

Disgusting

Id say warn other people about them too?

[stable elbow]

yea i should

he’s known for being a greasy weeaboo in that server

[fading hawk]

Yikes

[jaunty tundra]

Ew

[candid citrus]

that reads like a copypasta

[jaunty tundra]

Report to staff

[stable elbow]

yea it does

[jaunty tundra]

[stable elbow]

that’s how he types tho

yes he actually types like that

[fading hawk]

Smh

What a tool

[jaunty tundra]

This looks like the boi emote

honestly

alrighr back to art convo >:3

[candid citrus]

[empty ocean]

🔫

[jaunty tundra]

Omg i need that

[stable elbow]

what are y’all working on?

[empty ocean]

Warship gun turret

going to die

[fading hawk]

I need to draw more icons of Lyell for my blog

[jaunty tundra]

That previously posted one for me

well multiple projects actually

At once

bad idea but keeps me from getting bored 🤷

[mighty bronze]

Yup i would die too from that detailed doodle

flips table

[jaunty tundra]

blacky u mf

[empty ocean]

For me i am just sketching my little submarine

plane to sketch every little detail about it

for both practice and doodle purpose

cause why not

[mighty bronze]

chainsaw the table

Oh and yeah!

[empty ocean]

well i am not really working or making project

[jaunty tundra]

me at blackys art

[empty ocean]

so it is doodle right

[jaunty tundra]

Mmm id say more of a drawing than a doodle. A project is a long term development, a drawing is like uhhh. Pics posted in creative

and a doodle is a small lilthing

that takes like 5min to do

imo

[empty ocean]

but what if i just doodle while drawing something ?

oh then it is a doodle for methen

[jaunty tundra]

[empty ocean]

my usual time take for normal art are 20 hours +

these took 2 - 5 hours

[jaunty tundra]

Holy shit

[mighty bronze]

Weeeew

[stable elbow]

[jaunty tundra]

fair enough

[empty ocean]

sorry i draw slow

[mighty bronze]

I mean yeah

[empty ocean]

[jaunty tundra]

No ur perfecrly fine

we're just like holy fuck

Ur art is phenomenal

[mighty bronze]

Great art takes lot of time,there is no time limit lol

[jaunty tundra]

^^^

[empty ocean]

it is not exactly great

[stable elbow]

drawing technical stuff is so hard for me

[empty ocean]

i am more like trying to test out new stuff

[jaunty tundra]

I like it lots for sure

[empty ocean]

so it is an experimental most of the time

[jaunty tundra]

ok srs i need to sleep or i will d Ie

[mighty bronze]

Blacky i swear to God I'm going to burn that table

[stable elbow]

i like planes but there so damn hard to draw 😔

[jaunty tundra]

Goont

[empty ocean]

you could just learn the basic how to draw them

well actually

more like

How to construct it base form

those hella details aside

the most important thing to get first is it very overall form

there are technical drawing way to construct it

[mighty bronze]

[empty ocean]

but just like the name suggest

construct

this take pretty long

since you will be working with perspective and a lot of correction of depth

[stable elbow]

yea i need to work on those

thanks for the advice

[empty ocean]

usually it is wiser to take these as long as you take

but as you get used to drawing them you can basically imagine the calculation of accurate and draw straight without all of the construct

it wont be 100% correct

but you can draw

it is better to do this way when you need to study a lot of thing

but expect plenty of failures tho

🤷🏻

other than that with about 100 hours you could make it look really good and accurate as long you have basic , just do it slow and technically

but it isnt fun for everyone

i am basically draw technically so i am fine

[mighty bronze]

This is how we all learn from failures

[empty ocean]

some cant take it when it come to their least favorite subject

Character basically are more flow of drawing

and perspective of object is more of correction

[lament turtle]

Everyone has his own talent on the world you just have to look for it

[empty ocean]

i kind of 75% object drawing 10% char and 5% animal and 10% of other things

[stable elbow]

best thing about planes is that there’s tons of detailed references to go off of i just need to practice and improve my technical skills

[empty ocean]

Plane hardest part are their wing

you need construction technique for it

[stable elbow]

yea i mess up quite a bit on that

[empty ocean]

it isnt something people get it right first try 😂

[stable elbow]

if you look around you can find some really detailed schematics

[empty ocean]

i draw WW2 airplane more than modern tho

[stable elbow]

me too

yea really detailed schematics like i said

[empty ocean]

try cutaway drawing

that thing is a lot more challenging but fun 😂

i will try it someday with turret

[stable elbow]

cutaway drawings

[empty ocean]

yea you know it brother

i suggest you start with basic stuff

like drawing cube

lots of them

you can think drawing in more simple term

it is all just shape

combine into something

👌🏻

[lament turtle]

Good luck both XD

I want to suprise my boyfriend with a beautiful drawing... he likes me of course and music but I don't really know what to draw for him....

[granite stratus]

butch abby butch abby

[strong ingot]

[granite stratus]

butch 👏 abby 👏 👏 👏

[granite stratus]

shes here

[stable elbow]

👀👌

[granite stratus]

👀 👏

[stable elbow]

unrelated but greasy beggar i posted earlier got banned from the server i was in 😌💅

[candid citrus]

justice served

[devout bridge]

Eyyyyy

Also 👀 is it an art server?

[stable elbow]

it’s not, sorry

[acoustic gulch]

we're all so thirsty for art servers

[devout bridge]

Tru

And oke 👌

[onyx oxide]

New wip: I used a 3d model that is in CSP to see how it could look.

[thorn wedge]

seems nice

[onyx oxide]

and if i do some changes to the sketch i might be able to do some art that is better than the style i normally use

[thorn wedge]

i don't really understand in art

but i'm a bit fimilar with design

so are you making this for a game

or just an art

[onyx oxide]

just an art

im working on a game

but

its about something else than this

but i want to make a game about some of my oc's 😂

[thorn wedge]

lol

i'm just learning pixel art

it's very funny but it needs a lot of practice

correct ?

[onyx oxide]

yeah

im (kinda) working for a game that needs pixel art

and the one im working on myself

isn only pixel art

: )

But its still fun ;P

[thorn wedge]

of course

althrough pixel art doesn't need a full team to design with

it's easier

and better

[lone mountain]

honestly i find pixel art more hard

[acoustic gulch]

same

gotta figure out how to imply stuff without actually drawing the stuff and it's hard

[unreal stream]

I complete one drawing

and now I have no idea how to start the next

aaaaaaaAAAAAAHRHGHKJDKGD

[acoustic gulch]

do a scribble

see what it looks like

[unreal stream]

huh

never thought of that

I usually just go ham with construction right away

[acoustic gulch]

i try not to get too bogged down by the details at first cos the start is always the most sifficult for me

and the finsihing also

i like the middle only lmao

[unreal stream]

Decided against a drawing. After spending about 2 weeks on and off drawing Serra (and a crummy day at work) I'm just not up to it

So instead imma lie in bed and watch some tutorials to get a good idea on what to do. Penny is absolutely my next drawing

[shell wedge]

I always start with gesture drawings :o

Or looking up reference photos

[unreal stream]

I might do the same. Its just that all my drawings at the very start SUCK and I can never get past that initial stage.

[brazen lark]

penny!!! :D

[unreal stream]

I mean that drawing I just done looked like this initially and I have NO IDEA how I got to where it was.

And aye, Penny. Totally SFW as well.

obvs

Making an effort to draw 4 days a week at least. After Penny, I dunno, maybe Male Robin and then Female Robin and Serra together. Maybe that'll be lewd.

[shell wedge]

That's super clean for an initial drawing :O

My gestures and sketches look like spaghetti lol

[acoustic gulch]

ahh yeh, i wish my sketches were mor elike that

[unreal stream]

But like, compare it to the completed one. The whole head is a vastly diff shape for example

You can have individual projects for writing stories, but there's also the ability to have folders of character notes, and build a timeline

example of plot thingy ^

[brazen lark]

thats rly neat :0!!

[rugged pasture]

Anyone know if there is a timeline of CA when he worked on what? I am interested to see how his development of his sprites came to be. I saw on the wiki how each character evolved, but I was curious to what characters were made first or characters CA had difficulty creating.

[stable elbow]

try checking through the stardew valley blog?

there isn’t really much info on the whole character process

[lone mountain]

ok i followed advice and went 'fuck it'

[fickle orchid]

jev your art is a blessing

but i had the brightness in my pc turned waaay down

[safe path]

I just take pictures and pray people can see them

[brazen lark]

hi this isnt really the place for this fdjgbdfghd

[thin dagger]

probably best to put that in #images-and-memes

[brazen lark]

also @granite stratus SORRIE FOR THE PING BUT ///big mwah @ ur farmer and art style, i had to let u know

[unkempt tinsel]

@drifting gorge keep memes in #images-and-memes

[fair lark]

hey is anyone else doing the meds100heads challenge on instagram ?! just curious !!

[safe path]

What do you do in that challenge

[acoustic gulch]

challenges are so tempting :0

oo frick i love ahmed aldoori

Here's the tag in case anyone wants a peep: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/meds100heads/
I'm gonna give it a shot I think !

[tepid scarab]

@pulsar sky Realized that MAYBE these really should be in here? It's such a gray area.....it's technically art....but it's art for a mod...

[acoustic gulch]

You might get more feedback here fo sure

[jaunty tundra]

Oh

is that challenge just drawing 100 heads or?

[acoustic gulch]

I'd assume so

[pulsar sky]

I should move my music I post here.. Since creative no longer answers x3

[acoustic gulch]

I feel like I have no context for the music so I never click thru and therefore dont comment OTZ

im gonna go do that now

[pulsar sky]

Context as what kind?

[acoustic gulch]

I dunno, like, with picture someone's like oh, here's my farmer and I can be like, oh that's their farmer, but with music it's like... i have no clue.. is this an sdv thing? does it have lyrics? is it gonna make me hyper or sleepY?

anywya im listenign to the last thing u posted amnd it's da bomb

[fair lark]

@jaunty tundra @acoustic gulch its kinda hard to keep up with but im honestly just trying to draw all 100 heads in like two weeks or so

but basically theres a pinterest board w 100 different heads to draw !!

[acoustic gulch]

t-two weeks

TWO WEEKS

[fair lark]

the actual challenge is like

10 days

[acoustic gulch]

oh wow

that sure does sound like a challenge

are you posting them somewhere? 👀

i rly like ur icon

[jaunty tundra]

Huh

[fair lark]

yes !! on my art instagram !! (@ horrorseedart if ur interested !! ) and thank you its a self portrait !!

[jaunty tundra]

Wrow

[echo mesa]

Me when I see someone mention an art account on insta tho :grabs nearest device with insta installed while yelling hell ye 👀

Love me an art insta account

[fair lark]

omg

[echo mesa]

ur art has a nice feel to it
all nice fluid lines and non-offensive colours

[acoustic gulch]

same, gosh, my friends ask me why i dont have an insta and im like.. u fools... i do have one but its for art inspo

[fair lark]

ah thank you omg !!!

[echo mesa]

I have four instagram accounts 😅
I'm just most enthusiastic about the art one

[fair lark]

sameeeee

i like my personal too

and then i also have a graphic design account and like a finsta that i dont use lol

[echo mesa]

I have my personal - which my cats take over
My extra personal
Art
Then tamagotchi/squishy account lmao

I'm most consistant with the art one

[devout bridge]

i just. use my personal as my art one

and then post nothing lmao

[echo mesa]

whats this close friends business??? at the top

[acoustic gulch]

im insta illiterate

i assume its a like a list, your vips that can see ur nudes u post or sth

[devout bridge]

o okay

[echo mesa]

That close friends thing doesnt show on my phone, just on tablet 👀

[devout bridge]

oh

it shows on my phone for me?

[echo mesa]

maybe I need to update the app

I do avoid updates a lot

[fleet gazelle]

I don’t have insta so idk

[echo mesa]

turns out I did need to update

[tepid scarab]

@pulsar sky psssst I dunno if you saw this when I posted it earlier

[pulsar sky]

big improvement

[tepid scarab]

Really? I think it looks really odd

Like he has strange boobs

[pulsar sky]

shorten the arms by 1 pixel and it should be perfect

[tepid scarab]

Hm

[pulsar sky]

i said improvement x3

you might want to also put a black line between his shoulder and the armor plating

it will bring out the fact his chestplate is a chest plate

[tepid scarab]

m. That makes a lot of sense

[pulsar sky]

it's coming out very nicely though

btw.. This is Original music.. it comes from my alone :3 https://soundcloud.com/evilpickle-music-dept/sets/the-legends-of-omega

i rarely show my original works

[tepid scarab]

so....this?

Crap, forgot the shoulders

[pulsar sky]

lol yeah but the black part of his hands i believe go back a bit more

[tepid scarab]

Well, since I was stealing Alex's body, I was keeping with the hands he had

And, if I add a line of black to indicate chestplate....it looks terrible

And there's no way to line a section of pixels on a side

[pulsar sky]

i might be able to assist if you like

see if you like the version and all

[tepid scarab]

I mean, I'm not going for an exact copy. Still want SOME level of difference so I don't risk getting into trouble

[pulsar sky]

that's not hard.. change armor color after you're done x3

like a sonic OC

[tepid scarab]

Eh....I mean...But I LIKE him being all silvery

I don't think he'd be as intimidating if he's Lavender or Orange or Blue

[pulsar sky]

ok x3 it's all good

[tepid scarab]

But adding an extra row to the hands does make it look better

*row of hand colors to

[pulsar sky]

naisu!

[tepid scarab]

Two was too many. Looked like opera gloves

[untold roost]

@pulsar sky i like the original!

[pulsar sky]

it's an opinion

ultimately amu will do as she pleases and that's perfectly ok :3

[tepid scarab]

I think they mean your music

[pulsar sky]

oh?

[tepid scarab]

You called it an original and said you rarely post those

Why would they ping you for MY image, and not me?

[pulsar sky]

just out of the blue I suppose x3

and i was commenting about changes

so i figured he was saying it was fine as it was?

[tepid scarab]

I figured, but still doesn't make sense to ping you and not me

[pulsar sky]

idk.. @untold roost explain your context

[untold roost]

oh

yeah no i meant

i like your original track

i didnt read much

original as in

one you made

[pulsar sky]

ah

in that case.. thank you xD

[brazen lark]

i did wanna add on from the discussion in #creative that as a south east asian myself, the diverse stardew mod is a very respectful and well done depiction and i love robins portrait Especially, she looks so much like many vietnamese mothers i know irl which influenced my decision to make her and sebastian viet

[tepid scarab]

Wait.

[brazen lark]

it does kinda make me :// that the original modder just labeled them as 'south east asian' considering that there are Many of us and we dont look the same but whatever i Guess

[iron igloo]

i really really love the diverse stardew mod, the artists who made that did a really good job both keeping the feel of the characters & representing the intended ethnicities

[tepid scarab]

Did you do anything tied ti DSDV or the unofficial updates?

[brazen lark]

me? no im not that experienced with pixel art haha

[iron igloo]

https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/diverse-stardewvalley-hiatus-im-dead.109748/ and https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/diverse-stardew-unofficial-continuation-marnie-added-06-05-18.125163/ if anyone watching this channel doesnt know abt it

[tepid scarab]

And I actually specifically got that mod because it made Sebastian look a fair bit like a guy I like....and he just so happens to be a fair bit like Sebastian personality wise

[brazen lark]

AWW thats nice

[tepid scarab]

yup. and now my face decided I needed to blush

Thanks face.

[untold roost]

is it cosmetic only or does it change dialog too?

[tepid scarab]

Far as I know, just cosmetic.

[untold roost]

ahh

it seems really cool but my only qualm is

who is to say penny isnt already mtf

[tepid scarab]

I think it has more to do with how a lot of MtF and FtM still retain some of their former appearance

[brazen lark]

!!!!! moood!!!!!!

[iron igloo]

it's all cosmetic

[tepid scarab]

So, since it's not stated in the dialogue and this mod doesn't mess with dialogue, a more obvious visual representation may have been what they decided was best

[iron igloo]

which honestly is really cool i think

[tepid scarab]

Plus, they could've been modeling her off of someone they knew

[iron igloo]

i trust that approach over trying to indicate somehow through dialogue that someone is trans because unless it's a trans person writing that it tends to always go badly

[brazen lark]

there are def gonna be varying opinions on it, just me and other trans ppl i talked to thought it was odd to try to make a character Look trans (tho they had more issue with sam's portrait than penny's, i personally adore penny's)

[devout bridge]

yeahhh making someone look trans rubs me the wrong way if its not done by a trans person?? cause theres a difference between 'i don't pass well and want representation for others like me' and 'this is what i think a trans woman looks like.'

[untold roost]

yeah that makes sense

[iron igloo]

that's fair

[brazen lark]

feebs i trust u so much i just gotta say that JDKFGHDKFG

[devout bridge]

a;slkjf

[brazen lark]

u: //says anything
me: AH YES I VIBE WITH THIS

[devout bridge]

ilu kyle

[iron igloo]

i think penny & sam in dsdv remind me of a lot of the trans people i personally know but i'm not trans so i can't speak for it

[frail adder]

Quick questarino

Do things made in CAS for Sims 4 count as creative 👀 Because I spent a lot of time on them and I treat them like my OCs lmao

[devout bridge]

iunno, ask jade or jev

[frail adder]

@unkempt tinsel hey you

[iron igloo]

I would say so! It's OC design in a way

[frail adder]

Cmere

[iron igloo]

But I'm not a mod lmao

[frail adder]

I'm just excited cause like

[unkempt tinsel]

yes you can share them

[frail adder]

I made a transfem POC Sim and I want to show her off

AYYEE

[unkempt tinsel]

we've pinned people's sdv sim designs before

[frail adder]

Well it isn't SDV related

That's why i ask o;

So this is my like, 90's bitch femme aesthetic lesbian her name is Leslie and she's a Great Person I love her entire existence xoxo

She's the Big Tiddy not so Goth gf of Clementine, my other sim

[unkempt tinsel]

it doesn't have to be sdv related

[frail adder]

I lov her she's so precious aaa

[unkempt tinsel]

so it's fine

[frail adder]

Oki!

[unkempt tinsel]

as long as you don't get spammy with pics since it can be easy to make a lot of screenshots of them

[frail adder]

Oh yeah tru

This is her everyday outfit

Last one but i lov her so much i,,,

She also has a half brother named Atticus and he's like, on the outside typical bro but he's actually very sweet and loves and supports his sister so much aaaa

[lone mountain]

i wish i knew how to make good manga edits

cause im too lazy to draw ones and when i do i dont ever like the final product

[warped thistle]

trying to get better at drawing eyes lol

not really drawing, colouring

and one more xD

[lone mountain]

they look great to me!

[warped thistle]

thanks 😄

i'll post the drawing here when i'm finish

isn't SV related but

[echo mesa]

kinda reminds me of rwby
I like it

[warped thistle]

drawing with a mouse is so hard, ugh

[mighty bronze]

Oh God i can't imagine what would you do with a tablet than!!

[warped thistle]

i'll get one someday ;-;

[mighty bronze]

[fleet gazelle]

Woah

That’s amazing

Well I’m drawing with an iPad

And next I need a laptop for school

And I think the ones they want us to get has touch screen

[warped thistle]

ohh that's nice

i've been drawing for 7 hours..... jeez

i didn't even notice

lol

[devout bridge]

a mood

[echo mesa]

I wish I could do that
Me: draws for five minutes Gee, could use a nap now, or hey look, Sims!

[empty ocean]

it is better to sketch on paper then take a picture of it , go on drawing program and line tool it

otherwise draw with mouse is possible but it is not possible to make clean line with just mouse alone , you need line tool

[echo mesa]

^ oh, yeah, that
I use a mouse for all my digital art and always do the sketch on paper first

[fleet gazelle]

Or just lower the dpi on the mouse

[empty ocean]

that is possible , but getting a feel of flow is harder with mouse tho

there is one program that give you a huge stabilizing delay that may work with mouse

i forgot the name again

[untold roost]

a cleaner version of baby ko lol

[warped thistle]

paint tool sai gives that delay

it's what helps me lol

[lone mountain]

thats adorable

[blazing timber]

i've been trying to make a bed for 2 days

i thought this was ok

anddd i just found out there was a plugging to make realistic cloth

[warped thistle]

one more WIP bc why not

also it looks nice without the lineart 🤔

except for the eyes lol

[blazing timber]

that looks great!!!

[warped thistle]

thank you :3

[fleet gazelle]

Amazing

[vagrant acorn]

oooooo

[warped thistle]

tysm

[empty ocean]

my fetish had me struggle everyday 😂

[fleet gazelle]

I swear your designing military weapons

Lol

[empty ocean]

no it is an existing weapon lol

i am not at the level to do self design yet

[fleet gazelle]

yet

[brazen lark]

👀!!!!!

nice!!

[empty ocean]

one of my dream is to be warship designer 😂

i have fetish for it lol

[brazen lark]

its rly exciting to see ur wips so i can see how u do things

[empty ocean]

well pretty much set up form up most of the time

i can't draw straight without at least form making yet

[lone mountain]

thats lit as fuck

[empty ocean]

i am going to try Battery soon enough after this and 1 or 2 turrets

[arctic hare]

Not sure the best place for this but I hope it at least helps someone!

[empty ocean]

basically yes

[empty ocean]

[fleet gazelle]

Only 19 layers?!?

[empty ocean]

huh no not really

other layers are other stuff

[fleet gazelle]

So then how many on the thing

[empty ocean]

only 1

best i make another one for some line calculation

[fleet gazelle]

...

[empty ocean]

it is still in setup stage , no point in many layer tho

[manic dragon]

@arctic hare thank you for that Hands post

I’m trying to improve my art, so that’s gonna be helpful

[arctic hare]

I frequently find refferance posts like that from the people I browse on Twitter so I'll post some more if I find them

[jaunty tundra]

hey friens so im resetting up my streams n for some reason, sai likes to lag while the stream is running

any ideas why?

like the cursor moves superslow

[arctic hare]

What are you using? OBS?

[jaunty tundra]

yeah

sorry forgot to specify, very tired

[arctic hare]

A lot of people seem to have issues with OBS and SAI but one thing that does come up frequently is Windows DPI Scaling settings need to be turned off

[jaunty tundra]

😮

[arctic hare]

I also found this comment

[jaunty tundra]

i already had that flipped off

[arctic hare]

Hmmm other then that all I can suggest is tweaking OBS settings so that the encoding is on a lower bit rate

It's probably going to be one of those trial and error with settings

One thing to try though is if its the same when you do a local recording vs streaming to twitch

[jaunty tundra]

tru

tho im streaming to picarto but thats prooly irrelevant

since its hardware

well--- software

not network

[arctic hare]

Predominately yes but these services might do some fancy black magic on their side as well

[jaunty tundra]

tru

ok yeaa it was dpi

in sai

i turned that on and it performed MUCH better

[arctic hare]

Ok then sure. Whatever floats your boat Windows

[jaunty tundra]

windows is poop

[arctic hare]

Glad you got it sorted but it really to me makes no sense

If anything it should be worse

[jaunty tundra]

hmm

shrug

idk whats going on then

coz it went back to doing it again but this time outside the stream

[arctic hare]

Haha thats usally how it goes with technology. As someone who works IT day to day its often the inexplicable things

[jaunty tundra]

idk what that lapse of clarity was

yeah

im not even joking either

like it seemed to have gotten better

but then slowed down again

maybe ill try xsplit

[unreal stream]

Stuck at work

Wanna draw

[empty ocean]

^ i feel you

[jaunty tundra]

@@@

also i solved the problem

i just got streamlabs obs KHSDJDHf

[mighty bronze]

Same same...

[empty ocean]

going to clean this up tomorrow

[jaunty tundra]

oooo

[analog fjord]

I don't think it's detailed enough to put in the creative channel

but the blue's nice

[past musk]

I really love it!

[analog fjord]

thanks Zap

[empty ocean]

blue

[past musk]

you dont really have to make it very detailed to put it in creative smh, I really love how it looks as it is, blue is v pretty

[analog fjord]

thank ye! I was just practicing drawing bodies with my second farmer as the study

i can still see flaws, but it's not as bad as it could've been

[empty ocean]

If this were to be a more detailed art channels , there can be Sketch - Wip channel and General art channel

pretty much art channels has plenty more options

[analog fjord]

michelangelo-quality art channel

[empty ocean]

like certain servers has ink channel

just for ink art

😂

[analog fjord]

oooh!

[empty ocean]

that serve is obsessed with inking

well i like inking myself

[analog fjord]

inking IS really pretty, I can kinda understand

[empty ocean]

well that server draw more object than character tho

their character are often figure drawing or gesture

otherwise godly object , car , etc

also painting depand

[analog fjord]

godly object?

[empty ocean]

well very good looking stuff i meant

😂

[analog fjord]

Ohhh

HAHAHA yeah I get that

also Blacky I just scrolled up and holy bonkers

talk about godly art

your stuff is legendary

they look so good

[empty ocean]

that isn't much lol

[analog fjord]

you have a talent!

[empty ocean]

i spend an entire year to get here please no talent 😂

3 years tbh

[analog fjord]

jeebus

3 years worth spent

[empty ocean]

the first 2 doesn't tho

was my darkest years

with depression

[analog fjord]

D: I do hope things are better with you now

[empty ocean]

well this year was better now that i relief my stress

but family drama happen so i am pretty much upset either way

😂

[analog fjord]

I feel you 😬

I'm gonna have to hop off if I want to get enough sleep for the morning class tomorrow

catch you around! Have a good day, all of you

and thanks for the nice words 😄

[warped thistle]

ahh i hate colouring hair... it's so difficult lol

[stable elbow]

finally have time to draw now!!
//also a few ppl on reddit thought i was too mean to the dm guy 😔

might draw something today

[mighty bronze]

wew

[candid citrus]

what did u say to the DM guy

[stable elbow]

get a job 😔

[candid citrus]

oh LOL

no that was too kind

[devout bridge]

How dare you Tell someone u won't be creepy about a child character. U monster.

[wise geyser]

i have no idea how to colour 🤠

[warped thistle]

same ^ but it's mostly hair ;-;

[wise geyser]

just put random strands of the same colour in it and then use multiply

the layer option i mean

theres another layer option that lightens so you can also use that too for more texture

and use a textured brush of a darker colour and slap that over so it creates shading

thats one way to do hair

[warped thistle]

yeah i've seen a bunch of tutorials

but mine still looks awful lol

[unreal stream]

F I N A L L Y starting this Penny thing.

Lets see if I can avoid a happy accident and made the drawing deliberate.

[shell wedge]

But art is like... 60% happy accidents \o/

[unreal stream]

Mine is 100%

Needs a 40% cut

[unreal stream]

lmao ended up not getting anything drawn

this is frustrating.

honestly I feel I need to think more. As dumb as that sounds, I'm probably on auto-pilot.

im also stressing too much about construction. I think the construction looks bad and auto-give up. Im a goddamn idiot

[brazen lark]

Hey it's okay, drawing is difficult sometimes, just try to do some purposely shitty doodles to shake the bad vibes off

[jaunty tundra]

;3

progress

[fleet gazelle]

Nice

[warped thistle]

update on the hair xD

i kinda like it and also kinda don't lol

[shell wedge]

Usually fussing over construction is a sign of over-thinking though, at least from what I've seen friends do :o

[fleet gazelle]

Cute

[warped thistle]

ty ❤

if anyone plays paladins... that's evie

[fading hawk]

im really happy with this expression

[lone mountain]

Does anyone have like a reference chart for aging

cause im writing a biography for a character and I dont know if im giving him too much skills for his age

but i also dont wanna give him not enough

eh nvm, idk ill figure it out

im just afraid of it sounding dumb LOL

im writing along with a canon universe and it doesnt help that they have retcons and inconsistencies concerning the ages and progression of their characters 😔

[true reef]

does anyone else use krita? and do you have any issues with it?

[stable elbow]

i used to use krita

its nice but lags on most ppl's computers

[fleet gazelle]

Never heard of it

Welcome snuggles

[acoustic gulch]

I tried it out and it was a little too slow for me

[analog fjord]

@brazen lark I saw your Shohei/Seb art and I'm cacklin because my farmer Aki has nearly the same color palette as Shohei (pink hair) AND she's married to Seb

it's gonna be fun drawing seb in a pastel outfit and pink hair

[brazen lark]

pinks are just attracted to that boye 😩 👌

also heck yeah do it!

[analog fjord]

as soon as I get back from college 👍

[echo mesa]

Pink haired farmers are In
its a requirement to have one

[analog fjord]

Y e s

[echo mesa]

My pink haired farmer is with Abi tho rip lol

[analog fjord]

Aki's hair is actually dyed (her natural hair color is black) so it'll be just like drawing her in her natural hair and Seb in all her pastel glory

tis gonna be wild

[echo mesa]

what if: you also draw Seb in her actual clothing too, not just the colours 👀

[analog fjord]

oh boy oh man

why not eh

[brazen lark]

dammit that was actually one of my future plans too but i was saving it

but ur making me wanna do it,,,,

[analog fjord]

DO IT KYLE

[echo mesa]

I should do both them, I've been meaning to get my SDV blog going 👀

[analog fjord]

the question for Aki is which outfit tho

she changes clothes a lot

[echo mesa]

why not do several?

just
draw all the everything

[analog fjord]

Seb is in for a lot of suffering

[echo mesa]

xD

[analog fjord]

Elliott will survive

Seb is like

[devout bridge]

y'all can have ur pink haired club. im over here in my jock loving corner lmao

[analog fjord]

I have several ideas for future farmers and one of them may or may not like a certain jock

[devout bridge]
