@lament turtle
didn't know if discord logs the activity of photoshop 
I literally have no idea if there is a way to rename a browser
oh what am I saying, your name is hack-atta anyway xD
Not that
seriously? not just games?
I thought there was a way you can do that
ah great, I'll keep that in mind π
eyeeeees
wow !!!!!
no π
just a compilation of eyes I drew
well, there are more than just eyes, but you know. I could just sit and draw eyes the whole day, because it's fun
ooh was that from the eye meme?
yeah
nice!
So nicee
the Beginnings of a watermelon
Looking for opinions on the new and improved fall/halloween rugs I had to fix because the doormats looked way better to me
DNSP
I love the darker coloured rugs! I think the pumpkins are blending into the bg on your orange one a bit, though
Maybe desaturate the bg of the orange one a little?
Click the image, it looks different at a bigger size?
Changing the size doesn't really make much of a difference
Not even the darker edge on the pumpkins helps?
Not for me
Might just be my monitor, idk -- I'd wait for some other folks to offer their opinions :)
Okay, thanks for the input
Honestly, I could just lighten the entire orange rug's main orange if need be
seconding that, you need to desaturate either the bg or the pumpkin cause they get real lost with how it is now
idk that lightening it would help, try bumping the background a few notches to the left
towards the greys
hm. Lemme see what that does
those ghosts are cute 
On my side the pumpkins look fine, btw
Taking saturation down by five makes a huge difference. I'm amazed
not showing though.
ππ»
^ I really bet the finished art will be really really kewl
gothic dinning table, the centre of the tablecloth motif is the insignia of RL Order of the Dragon (a chivalric order that Vlad the Impaler a.k.a. Dracula was one of the member)
cant wait to see the finished piece hec!!
and your pixel furniture uve been posting looks amaziiiiing az
oHHHHHHHHH
what kinda black magic is that pattern on the last one omg. these looka amzing as well!! you manage to make things look so clear and detailed at the same time and just :0000
xD the black magic is called photoshop
and I didn't made that pattern, it was from my old files and I've no idea where I downloaded it from o.O
LOL someone tagged my farmer as sebastian 
they must bg pretty
not at all
i say someone but quite a few people assumed so
alright this is the last slime morris i post because if i post anymore people will ask if i draw porn
klfjsdjfs
As slimy as his smile xD
i did try him with other colours but i found the blue works best w him
slimy salesman!!
lol
Blue does work best for our resident Joja Corp. fanboy
cropped cause i aint happy with the body cause im lazy
im tempted to just have like random shit floating in his body
like joja cola cans and pierre's hopes and dreams
Based solely on the horny emote I'm gonna draw more non horny slime morris
Thank you @crude reef
...

<3
CUTE
@tepid scarab all your rugs are so so cute, halloween and st patrick are just. UGH. I want them in my house ;D
Belated, i have my gigantic criticisms about furry community but i am againdt putting everyone in the same light. My best friend is a furry and ive met plenty of cool people
Also drawing anthros is great, i have a lot of them too
I love seein the variety of art and dont be embarrassed abt posting anthro things here, we support
Ok now i gotta continue reading
Looking good so far jar! I really like those rugs amu, looks good to me but i can see what they mean abt the pumpkins
That shane looks great so far hecatta! And that table is super pretty coldazrael. Ohh tables, the one with the cross is my favorite
Yay slime morris and yay truck!
That st patricks day rug is my fave
And FINALLY
Love the sketch key! I look forward to more
awww, jade taking time to comment on everything 
I mean honestly, I may not be a fan of anthro myself but seeing the quality and craftsmanship, how could I give anyone crap for the chosen topic
unless its something truly harmful or NSFW (in which case its good to be mindful where you're posting) just have fun and draw whatever makes you happy, furry or not
Slime morris is not a yay thing LOL
Great faces
lmao I love it
Same hah
that is a Mood
big mood
make her stepping on lego
I don't have lego, I am safe
but i have microsoft edit
why must you hate me π
you mean time to make me step on that
oh well
if it is my destiny, I will die like a hero
:p
crying cat face.jpg
thanks I hate it
:/
what? talking like lewis
time to show my art on the creative channel
@lament turtle do you approve my art?
no
why
dude, this is weird
It was funny once, but now it's just really annoying..
hecatta we share the same outfit aesthetic
niceπ
the soup one?
it is a rly nice outfitt
the soup shirt is very nice indeed
what the fuck did i come back to
oh lul
if someone makes you uncomfy guys, you should tell Bouncer !
even if you're not certain
our junimo are here for that
a wip :)))
Anyone around that could give me some sprite assistance?
ah hey! Wanna help me with spriting a bird feeder @acoustic gulch ? :3
of course!

I made my screenshot a reality
the bride is very cold
she's a member of the polar bear club
she's a free soul
Haley is just like that, isn't she
I respect it
girl doesn't want all that fancy shit, she just wants a simple, courthouse wedding
tbh, as someone who had a courthouse wedding and always has them for my sims, that'd be p cute
Body is done now just the hair, cloths and stuff
thanks π
Yo @thorn pulsar what software you using
asperite
looks like it
yee
working on smthn real self indulgent π π
self indulgent things are difficult for me, because if I draw myself how I look with Shane... It looks like I've drawn two Shanes, which was a startling realization I had the last time I trimmed my beard. xD
and if I don't, I get distracted by how great my farmer's beard is compared to mine :p
gothic cupboard
cute!
If anyone could give me feedback on this, that'd be appreciated! Trying to break into pixel art a bit, but I'm especially unsure of his jacket
thx spooni :D
yours are nice as well, although I personally prefer birch wood xD
@ hound
the jaw is kinda blocky I think, but if it's your style then everything is okay
Hello! Anyone online :0
you betcha
O hell yeah! Heya Alq! How're you going?
all good! just a chill friday night, some streams in the background while drawing
Sounds like a good time!
yes i am online
@marble solar so cute! I honestly have no advice because I just wing it but cute!
supes handsome boyo
Ah, thank you so much!
@thorn pulsar when it comes out would you mind if someone did a recolor? i'd like the mod but want it to fit with my yellog/eemie craftables
@crude reef are we. talking about the bird feeder? I'm sorry I'm trying to follow three conversations simultaneously xD
oh sorry!! yeah thats what i meant lol
haha, sure! I don't see why not
my current plans are the bird feeder, a birdbath, and some funky metal statues, but I'm open to suggestions. c:
@marble solar personally i love the jacket! you might want to make the side on the left a little more bent to match the side on the right though. i love how you did his face, the long jaw and the eyes are really nice imo
Thank you!

Hello frozen! How're you doing today?
letting everyone know in here that i added 4 more artisans. i went back through the art by several months but i highly doubt i got everyone that qualifies, so if you feel like you qualify just shoot me or bouncer a message. you'll most likely get it if you're relatively active in the channel and post sdv related art [doesn't have to be a lot]. you won't get it if you're a very new member or you're not a high enough level. information is in #445729591533764620 but the "don't ask for artisan" part is a little outdated now
there are a lot of amazing artists in here with blue names so don't feel bad if you don't have the role; the role's about sdv, not your art skill. don't force yourself to do anything you don't want to, please keep posting and making your beautiful art.
i'll keep this pinned for a little bit but remove it later
i lov all ur thoughtful writings abt creative jade
awww thanks
π
morris, coldazrael, hershel, and pantran got artisan
π π
again there are more likely more who should get the role but as i said i went through the art for a while an those were the ones i saw, so anyone who thinks they qualify give me a shout out
i specifically searched for ur art ria because i thught you'd be artisan, i love ur past art pls post more
holy f o.O I'm qualified!?
apparently
π π π
thank you! wowie. ;w;
I'm at loss of words xD I can't even draw a hand properly lol
but thx jade π
nps yall
true jar
anyways, speaking of another that's qualified, I'm rooting for hecatta and milktea
pish-posh, coldazrael. your crooked cat is great
Imo those 2 deserved the role
true heca does
and alien as well
and Persephone just not level 25
does alien do SDV art? I've mostly being seeing magical girls from them
wait, it must be SDV art now? 
their magical girls r prtty awesome tho
yea cold
Ye? Its always been an SDV art thing?
Given to active artists in the community. You have to be a Farmer (level 25) and have your work posted by @Artisan Leah in addition to being active and friendly. This role tends to be added in waves; do not ask for this role.
yes and i even recapped that in my post
"you'll most likely get it if you're relatively active in the channel and post sdv related art [doesn't have to be a lot]. you won't get it if you're a very new member or you're not a high enough level. information is in #445729591533764620 but the "don't ask for artisan" part is a little outdated now"
"there are a lot of amazing artists in here with blue names so don't feel bad if you don't have the role; the role's about sdv, not your art skill."
to reiterate as well
^~^
there are a lot of artists here that i want to smash with the artisan role but they never post sdv things
however, them posting despite this means a lot and they are very welcome here all the same
I just rolling thru art-gallery and alien has a sdv art pinned
alien isn't a farmer
oh nvm I forgot it needs to be farmer rank xD
lol
all things in due time. uwu
I need to start posting my actual art vs edited sprites
at some point xD
or some of my non-SDV pixel art
yeah i'd love to see it
well for those who's still villager, best of luck on junkposting til farmer :x
junkposting? :P
π
lemme find something. passable. that isn't a werewolf
I have to draw not werewolves sometimes, right

right
werewolf is love. werewolf is life
oh well I'll post handsome werewolf then
by the way guys, any idea for furniture clutters other than books, flowers and plants?
I really need to fill this artisan bookcase lmao
books
wood carvings
russian dolls i forget what they're called
m...matrosh....kya....
i forget
dolls, right why don't I think of that π€ thanks
the ones that have another doll inside?
photo frames
if you're going for other antique/creepyish stuff a yoba symbol would be cool in place of a crucifix
photo frames is a good idea
yeeeee frozen those
umm although my furniture mod is gothic, it's not actually creepy stuff xD
well that's what i meant
it's more like modern gothic
soo dolls and photo frames..
and vases or some ceramic stuff, right, I hope that's enough
thx guys 
anyways jade, yoba symbol has been on my mind, only that I haven't found the right place
crucifix could fill 6x6 or 4x4 space, but yoba symbol couldn't do it
it needs at least 5x5 for yoba
@ jade i read up a bit and now i have actual happy tears in my eyes. ive been so uGH about art since i quit artschool but i just guess i needed to read some nice words so ty it means the world to me specially comin from u ahhh
compressing symbols to pixel can be quite pain sometimes xD
or perhaps no need to add yoba symbol because shane is surely hating it :V
I mean, I'd download the pack for a yoba symbol I can like. put on my wall. like that alone I'd be down for
talking about lore, does the farmer even worship yoba?
using those altars from witch hut doesn't seem to be.. worshipping yoba lol
the farmer does if they want to i suppose
i dont think the game makes actualr reference to it? grandpa hass a symbol in his room but thats abt it
witch altars i doubt are associated with yoba
yeah from krobus
krobus sells it
I like to buy one and put it near Grandpa's shrine
i've been thinking on theorising if there is another deity than yoba
that witch hut stuff is appealing proof if there is another deity, and luau doesn't give a look of yoba-ish
well it's up to how you interpret the game really, that kind of think idk will ever be truly canonized
for sure it's a very magical world and people can believe in both the light and dark
luau is just a party
i wouldn't even say yoba is truly canon, it's what people believe and they might be magical too so that could be proof
i personally like to think yoba is an actual thing in the world
but if someone else just thinks it's a reflection of irl beliefs then, that's fine too
aliens actually are canon though so there's that
which is great
lmao yes
dwarves are actually aliens
so i mean, i think pretty much everything in the game has some kind of backing
but yeah
fosho
there are several references to aliens
including what hellcat said
but i don't wanna go deep into spoiler territory rly
but yeah you can shape your mods in that direction if u want
I prefer to ask CA but I doubt he will respond π¦
why not?
jev already tried :/
some thign are better left ot the imaginatiionn π
so π€
maybe you should try and schedule a QA thing or osmething with him
well dwarves are technically aliens
shadow people are earth native? π€
does CA even do scheduling for that sort of thing?
in the lost books
π€·
well I suppose could ask via twitter and hopefully.. he's responding it xD
oh lmao i was Just coming here to show some portrait edits that include a yoba symbol! here's mine but it's 18x12, it gets pretty hard to show detail below that
the full wip portrait sheet! i think the sad unique and love ones are pretty much done but i want to refine happy and angry some more
that's cute how it's a necklace
uwu
Y
yeah it's a unique portrait for fridays!
whoa i love the middle left and the bottom right ones
oooh sad! is my fave omg
thank you! it's a shame that krobus is a cool shadow monster and we never get to see any shadowy monstery stuff from him
blobby boy
agree! i kinda wish the shadow brutes had more of a wispy appereance or somethin
i tested the mod just now and all my code is working so it's just down to refining the art and then i can release it!
you got this

should work fine with mods that have dialogue expansions for him too!
any concrit on what i could refine is welcome!! probably @ me tho this server is too big for me to not have muted hfdkjhfds
@ember sequoia only lil thing i just noticed lookin at it again is the lil heart on his blushy one? mayb you could position it so it looks a lil more natural? cos when i lean away from the pc a bit it looks like its a different piece kinda? idk if this makes sense dfghj
ooogh krobus tennisball tenpoles tortellini tentacles
yeahhh it was hard to figure out how to place that... maybe tilting it to one side a bit more would help?
yeh! maybe
i think there like, 2px that kinda overlap to the inside of the heart so that migth help too?
heck, none of my furniture have 18x12 empty spaces lmao
yeah idk if there even is any furniture that does.... theres an Even Bigger one that i reffed this off of that shows up as a picture on grandpa's wall
the smallest so far I think is the yoba painting in harvey's clinic
by the way, is abby and sebby canonically into goth stuff? π€
they do have a look of gothic boy/girl I think, but not sure if it's canon
abigail is more into gothic stuff while sebastian likes more medieval stuff
well "gothic" idk if she's really into it
more supernatural than anything
they're both occult and adventure nerds
Abigail more toward the occult, Sebastian more toward the adventure.
they're both interested in the supernatural, though Sebastian's interest seems to be more fiction-based than Abigail's
fascinating xD looks like people have really diff point of view on this
I wouldn't say either are necessarily portrayed as gothic, though both are reasonably alternative
It's not an unfair stretch to make them more gothic-inspired, as some modders have done
i'd say seb is more supposed to evoke the emo style than goth, abby i would call goth tho? but yeah it wouldnt be a stretch at all to lean into it more
this is true
@devout stream how did you do the stardew text thing? cause of the white background is annoying and kinda to remove
cause i have the font and what i need to have on note pad
but, i need to move that to my ipad so i took a photo, put it on Google Drive and it still has the white background and the text is kinda of blue and red
Welcome to the piss army
The P in Pierre stands for Piss

I cant even remember if I've done any SDV stuff other than morris
lol
Fuckin hell I'm like 70% sure one of the pieces I posted here is like really fucjing cursed
Cursed morris
yea
you have to pray to yoba for her blessing, but sometimes receiving blessings from another being doesn't actually hurt π
aether is coding a satanic ritual in the mod just wait
not actually ritual but.. :x @crude reef
i am draw melon
does anyone have any ~watermelon advice~
the watermelon Progresses
looks yummy
i finally got my paypal set up!!
oooo, looking great
Making some art for my game but I don't know what color I want the space suit to be so please give me your opinion
3rd
thx
first looks kind of like a crew jumpsuit that you'd wear inside where you can breathe, third looks like an outdoor one (minus a helmet) and the second maybe somethinglike a maintenance one
in my opinion
so do you suggest I use all of them?
well it's your game, so it's up to you
calarts and artschool drama π π€
iydk calarts raised it's tuition to 50K+ a year
flashback to noah bradley's article about not going to artschool
Calarts students are protesting their $50.8K annual tuition. But really, US animation students everywhere should be protesting. Here are some other animation school tuitions for 2019-20 programs:
RISD: $51.8K
Pratt: $51.7K
Ringling: $48K+ (est)
SVA: $44K
MCAD: $39.9K
SCAD:...
352
844
yikes
why woudl you do that to yourself
also, for anyone that is curious
I will no longer encourage aspiring artists to attend art school. I just wonβt do it. Unless youβre given a full ride scholarship (or have parents with money to burn), attending art school is a waste of your money.
i remember back then there was a lot of interesting stuff back and forth.
most ppl want studio jobs and this is pretty much the only way
50k a year ............. bruh
im only a hobbyist but damn
ppl seeking professional careers in art are getting screwed over
'the cost of a four year education at RISD is $245,816' ?!?!? quarter of a million Holy Shit
shits just not affordable unless you got rich parents

two years back i knew a senior who was accepted into calarts but he couldn't go bc that shit was way too damn expensive
I know of pelnty of artists that have gotten jobs in animation without goin to those schools so ther eis hope for peeps yet
yeh i know some ppl like that too cat, its so dfghjkl
and it was his dream
if your dream is goin to an art school thats- kinda.. setting urself up fro a lot of frustration
you can get whatever artschool gets u on your own so hopefully ur friend wasnt too discouraged
wouldn't it be way cheaper for american students to go abroad to study ?
it is!
My dream is to be an author
I'm currently enrolled in Literary Studies for the coming year in the Netherlands for 10k a year
Meanwhile, a similar education in america...33k a year.
Plus, I get my bachelor's in only 3 years compared to 4!
So 30k total tuition...compared to what, 132k?
yeaah, i think mayb ppl dont look into it cos it can be Scary but its def and interetsing option
I won't lie, their standards are high. Very high. Even with my honor-roll background, clean slate of a record, and advanced placement with one year's worth of medical school, I'm still required to take a College Board exam as my entrance exam and score a 50/80 on it in either French or German.
Whereas in America, you basically apply and get accepted, ngl, depending on the school. (I'm not saying Harvard or Yale does this, but most community colleges will)
Yeah, thats tru, i think it requires a looot of research. and obvs the cheaper places are gonna be not in Europe and the US i'd assume, but thos eare probs nicer to live in so. it would be cool if there was a resource somewhere with a list of popular art schools/institues over the world

holy shit that's a lot of embeds 
oooooh nice rio
the article i linked up there has some links to alternative education lets say so im just swimming in arts info rn x)
aww my school isnt on there sadtimes
Alternative education is hella good. I'd probably only recommend going to university if a.) you can afford it, b.) you wanna do it for fun (like me), or c.) you need connections. It's great for connections, especially if you aren't the outgoing type.
I'd never go to art school since I wouldn't want any of the above, but I am in humanities major.
yeh! fine arts degree is free here so i jumped into that. didnt pan out for me but i agree w those 3 things wholeheartedly
did someone say finished line art?
no?
oh well heres some anyway >:)))
cool
cool cool cool
lineartin is tough so goodjob! cant wait to see some colorss
@pastel iris is that a pinned bug I see

opinions on the art grind
today i got in a fight with some people because they said the art grind is a bad thing because itll make you hate art
almost shat
his name is a pun??? i like him even more now
im not sure what an art grind is snaf?? but u do you i think! as long as ur happy ya kno
i don't know what that says but it's good anyway
its like, putting in a lot of time to practice and get better
like the top peopel do yknow the TOP TIER
artistic grinders
Well it could case burnout lol
but on the other hand if you can endure it you'll have a lot of practice and improvement in short time
enduring burnout is part of the grind
if you're a hobbyist thats just on it for fun then it seems counterproductiva but if you're trying to cultivate it as skill then i get that
you need to push through imo
yeah i guess hobbyist is fine whatever
i just constantly see people who complain about wanting to get better and then dont put in the work or time to do
dont even have any goals in mind
oh yeh, i see that a lot too but- its rly personal how relaxed u want your approach to be
and then i say to get on that GRIND and theyre like "but itll make me hate art"
if you like art so much nothing should make you hate it yknow
hmm yeh, thats interesting tbh
i think you can get yourself to hate anything tho
if you overthink shit enough
artschool made me hate.. not art specifically but i made so many negative associations that i stopped enjoying it
ymmv
I would never go to a school about something as subjective as art 
when youre making a game oyuk inda have to be that way
ahh i guess that makes sense
So like, I wanna add a crop from SDV to a game i'm working on, but i'm not really sure if ape's okay with someone just doing that. I emailed 'em to see if i can get permission but I'm assuming they're way too busy to have noticed it
should i just like, add it anyway and see how it goes or is there a good way to get in contact with 'em
I could? but i like direct references to stuff :B
i have a plant from rain world already
(also starfruit is a real thing and it's friggin' WILD dude)
yikes dont ping him
yeah nah
i don't wanna come off as creepy or something, i already tried twitter and email so i don't wanna be like PLS REPLY SENPAI
if starfruit is a real thing then i dotn see why u woudlnt be able to include it thoo?
ah yeh idk abt that
i woudlnt like people using my stuff without permission in their own things but
maybe that changes when u get big im not sure
mayb be better that way
maybe they'll reply later and u can inculde it ya never kno!
yee there's plenty of time before i can call my project done :P
also: starfruit tree c:

@ebon briar
those bugs in paintings? it's not made by me xD it's from Mi's furniture mod
sorry late reply by the way o.O I fell asleep
Well now need to add extra things to he boxes and finish my OC
the baby has a stuffed fish now!
one more to go, then toddler clothes, then customizing them for every marriage candidate and
I can test it. Wow, I've been working on this for like 10 hours over the past week and it's finally almost over xD
c:
giik i hope you get an answer! but i think either way it'd be safe for you to have a callout to it, like a picture of an ancient fruit or something, over a crop
@unkempt tinsel ty π
np np
thank jade c:
yeah maybe an image or just more vague reference would be better
(i also emailed the slime rancher devs to see if i can get one of their plants in)
(i like plants)
plants are gr8

mooood
I'm a gamedev myself and usually we loooove a reference to our stuff in different games. As long as it's clear enough and just a reference, not stealing a more elaborate idea. Putting a name in the credits is usually a good way to go. @dire phoenix
mhmm
i kno i poasted this earlier but please i need help on improving my boye
OGH I LIKE YOUR ART AND HIS EYELASHES
Wait that style is familiar
I am almost certain I follow you on twitter
For improvement, not sure there's anything I can offer without seeing the hat/glasses
oog no i dont have an active twit
As it stands the only thing I can say is that he's kinda plain? As a character i can't really get a feel for him personality wise here
yea thats what i was feeling
Yeah without things like piercings/ clothing a plain headshot typically doesn't convey the character well
also the main thing about him is that hes a taxidermist
oh nice
What's his hat made of
Hmm
i mean i cant imagine taxidermists have a whole like outfit/vibe to em
Make sure it says "Sexy beast" on the top
YEAH?
I haven't done an intentional full body in a very long time
me when handling flower drawing requests π
Colors are a little dark, I'd brighten them some myself
draw a rose, copy layer, recolour it lmao
just to let you know I'm not following flashy-vanilla colours xD
I have an innate bias against dark palettes, they always feel drab to me :/
Those look so good though
I don't actually have bias against dark or light palettes, as long the contrast is not as high as vanilla
also I'm not sure which one of the plants/parts you refer for being a little dark fable? π€
I mean the general palette as a whole. I, personally, deal in more saturated and bright colors so to me everything here is dark
It's not a mistake on your part or anything, you use your colors right
It's a personal taste thing
hmm then eemie's, mi's and yellog's furniture mod looks dark in your eyes?
Never touched those mods so I can't say
Yeah all of these are using the overall darker palettes that just aren't to my personal fancy.
then I guess I have a bias to dark palettes, but seriously this one uses light palette but still I prefer this over vanilla xD
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2041
Eeeek that's the other extreme
'too light' palette?
These are the kind of palettes I use/prefer
it's pretty much hard to determine if you give a non-pixel art sample xD
ah I see, so pokemon palette could be one of example
When it comes to SDV, this is the palette I've used before
High contrast between lights and darks with a brighter base color
castlevania must be big no for you xD
actually my furniture mod got a bit of inspiration from castlevania, which is gothic-theme
Yeah I'm not a fan of their aesthetic sadly π
When it comes to games, Yoshi's Island was the aesthetic
Give me playful, bright colors anyday
I dig my fantasy, I dig my happy energetic palettes
yoshi's island is obviously good
YES
it matters with the in-game story I think, I personally felt like sdv is not an 'all happy' game
the colors π©
It's true, SDV isn't happy under the surface, but the default aesthetic embraces the idea that despite the hurt there's still a bright world worth living in
It isn't cold or jaded, and everyone who hurts eventually finds a way to reconcile that
||talking about wars between nation (ferngill vs gotoro) and wars between races (dwarves vs shadow peoples)||
Ye, I hear you
But that's also the deep lore
Games like Splatoon are similar
While the deep lore might be dark and disturbing, the surface level stuff is still bright and cheerful
Because despite the history, the world is moving on
Palettes don't necessarily convey the tone of the world, just the underlying message of the story

In A Move That Surprises Noone, Local Jar Draws Head Too Big Then Resizes It
So, could I possibly get some feedback on my 4th of July rug and fancy other rug that's not 4th of july themed?
DNSP (also please ignore the thing in the middle, that won't be there later on)
These aren't exactly finished. Most especially the 4th of july one.
The left two however, are finished.
You may want to ping me so I see any comments, as I'm going to sleep now.
the colours on the blue ones are very jarring, and the top left could use a bit more contrast I think
I do see your point, though the upper one is supposed to resemble tge presidential seal...which is a very blue blue. Can't use flag blur for basically anything though. Way too dark.
I'd still suggest turning down the saturation a notch
Most of the clothes almost done, think all i have to do is the shoes?
(The bands are, on the left side (the peace hand side) iridium band, and on the other is the slime charmed thing)
giki! i think i missed a couple of wips in the middle but woooo, the pose ended up working out im glad! cant wait to see the rest π
small furniture like these can be quite pain to draw xD
Omg I love the cat
yoba chalice. amazing.
oooh, its so difficult to make small pixels but thos elook amazing az
I don't pay attention to vanilla house plants but I've no idea pile of grass is considered decorative plant o.O

not sure if this is the place the ask, but I'm trying to make a house (last upgrade) for myself and I was wondering if someone could give me some feedback?
uuuuh, for making it work in the game you can ask in #making-mods-general as well but if its about drawing then here is fine?
for both of those i'd say the first step is to look at how the game does it and then start tweaking to make it fit your idea?
i already have something, i'm just stuck on a specific part of the house, was wondering if I could PM someone basically. i'm shy π
ooh, no need to be shy
u cna dm me if u want but i am not good at pixel art os i probs cant help very much
@tepid scarab add shading and texturing
it looks like some of ur rigs are made of plastic
Where specifically, as I have added different levels of shading to the icons on the rugs
amu, the finsihed ones look amazinf honestly
The backgrounds?
the 4th of july ones im not a fan of the blue tbh?
The blue aren't finished
Well, the upper is closer, I just need the exact hue for the presidential seal
yeh yeh i know, but im not a fan of the shade personally . and yeah, i'd add some texture too, like some cross patterns like the vanilla ones have mayb.
maybe isntead of havign 4 USAs u coudl make the eagles be closer to the edge and just have one in the center? it feels a lil weird to have text readable from every aid, but again, that might be personal pref
I was hoping to find some....sdv representative things I could add either side of the eagle....no luck so far
Hm. Possibly
I just....got a bit stuck, because firework explosions weren't working like I wanted
Thank you all for the input. it's helpful. Still curious where you suggest shading though @serene frost. The main rug color?
@tepid scarab you should add shading to the rug itself not just the icons
Ah. Hm....I see
Have to wrap my head around how that should look first, methinks. Thanks.
Ya pixel art is pretty hard to do
i'm kind of lost on what to add on the 2nd floor of the house here
when i add windows, i'm still completely lost on what to do with the blank space above the door
maybe a balcony?
I was gonna suggest a lil roof hangover kinda thing
for comparison sake, this is my 2nd stage house
keep the roof thing
?
like this
sims 4 got some good examples lol oof
she actually looks cute without lineart too?? thats weird tho tbh
putting this here cause tumblr is like sad art website
for some reason I cant get photosets to work?
i figured it out yeehaw
oh my god that pink house is reall ycute
i showed that to my friend who rly likes pink aesthetic and she was like GIVE ME THE LINK TO THAT MOD
im gonna see if i can beta a new farmer for an ask blog bc it would be good practice wish me luck
tbh I got my style from tracing and then using my traced version as a reference. If you wanna work on a certain part of anything you could use that method- that is if you are not all crazy about tracing for practice.
Think Iβm up to doing the hair, cat ears and face stuff (mouth, eyes and what else is on a face)
@fringe gyro do it ! the draw it again thing :0
okay!
aww that's cute house ren 
LMAO i do remember it!!!
i remember all your art from the chucklefish forums too
i remember being excited because yo uwere like one of the 2 people in here i recognized from the forums
ahhhh
OH YEAH
i remember when u joined
i recognized u too
i forgot about the chucklefish forums......
Design question. With a user interface, does it look off when the UI elements themselves give the perspective of being at an angle? Example in the bottom right.
Nah, I don't think so. It looks good to me.
i remember
the alamo
Hey uhhhhh
Someone help me and let me know if this looks very sorted or not?

i'm back from spring break and can make art
time to spam sebastian stuff again lmaooo
welcome back
so
it's been about two hours of Shane drawing hell
can someone remind me what a "quick doodle" is
a doodle that is quick
or so the legend says
oo?
to anyone who knows about CSP: are there physical versions of CSP? if so, does the sale also apply to that?
yes there are physical versions
but the sale isnβt applied to them
waiiit
no physical versions anymore
only digital
aw that sucks
ty
my dad was looking for a physical version since he was interested in it too
Should I write or draw?
Also I'm trying to decide what kind of adopts to make other than my species...
@wraith nova Lazy Nezumi Pro is the best thing I've ever downloaded
Hair done, now eyes and then tracing with a finer thing and colour
I highly recommend it, because I went from feeling like I needed to get a tablet/drag out my old touchscreen laptop for art, to making something awesome in six hours
I see.. well since I draw only using paint, I don't think I will need it for now.. but I will keep this in mind ^^ thanks btw for the recommendation Stardewspoonie! 
(@lament turtle You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
I mean paint from the basic windows program, paint
o.o Does that even have Layers
I dont draw using layers π I'm not that adapt with drawing anyway
mostly I just doodle things
10-30 minutes max (without the coloring)
that's still something
aaww thanks Jar!
If not for layers I'd frequently ruin an aspect and give up rather than continuing lmao
well since I only draw straight how I want to draw it even with pencil, I don't even know how to "layers" and such so you guys here are really amazing imo
I use autodesk sketchbook
I have autodesk sketchbook on my phone
I find the app Sketch works better tho
which is also why my drawing never that complicated and mostly kinda chibi styled since they are easy, just basically a fat round version of anything hehe
Sketch is probably on iPad too
If you wanna go complicated, no harm in trying paint.net smetime to get a taste for layers
but also like, ur arts Good how you do it now
Paint as ms paint?
and I can't recommend Krita enough as the step up after that, because it's not designed for paint-style art, but I've certainly used it to make some
yes
practice but also by trying it on pencil first before I re-draw it on paint cause it will help me to know how I should go with the mouse better, I used to only draw for 1-3 minutes haha which only drawing blob of face/animal mostly.. now I spent until 30 minutes.. and mostly because my mouse is not cooperating well.. or my lines too weird since I cannot make anything symmetrical to begin with..
https://lazynezumi.com/ might help, depending on your mouse/line issues
so like this is how I first time trying drawin using paint..
being able to draw exactly the lines you want is liberating, and I don't think I've ever drawn a more symmetrical pair of eyes xD
aw that's cute
I do like the almost crayon texture to it lol
after much practice ofc, I managed to make this kind
oo, thats cute too
which took really long haha
still seems vaguely crayon-esque, 10/10
after 8 months with that I managaed to level up to this
which makes me feel so proud and happy tbh
hehehe
;D
thats an awesome amount of improvement
imagine how gr8 you'll be with just a few more months
always awesome to see an artist improve 
tho tbh, its still basically the same tool the crayon thing cause I like them.. it just not that seenable now cause I draw in larger size
so the crayon-effect doesnt seems so much hehe
crayon-effect is gr8
aaww.. thanks Jar.. I hope I can improve further
I kinda hit a huge wall with hands and eyes with paint.. but then again.. I also cannot draw them using pencil either, so that's my obstacles to get to the other level for now..
its because all this time I only draw eyes with big dot/big hollow dot or just a line
hands are always Hard tbh
could get one of those Fake Hand model things? and just kinda
Study The Hand
so making amazing eyes like how people draw it.. Idk how ,I saw some tutorial and such but I cannot do it.. so I feel like I need to find my own style first it seems
I dont draw well with examples tbf, so I usually just think and try to make it happen haha
Plenty of paths to take to get there, and no real time limit
with practise you'll get there
idk how I learnt eyes? I think I just did Junky Eyes and eventually improved
indeed hehe ^^ practice and practice hehe..
I see..
drawing Junimos are always helping when I feel down and stuck
they reminds me of how my first step of drawing was, they are cute and easy to make which always brings me right back up and try to think for a solution of where I need to improve more to make the same level of cuteness in my other drawing 
lol, thats awesome
and there is Never Too Much Junimo Art
indeed, I actually got licensed to make my Junimotes as LINE sticker now
so that's something that really helped to boos my confidence as well and I'm really happy with it ofc
;D
Since Easter is in April (it is right?) do I do an Easter art for April
this was supposed to be Scorbunny's head

it looked too much like a fish I couldn't resist
You could just say that you were drawing sobble.
Lol
nah it still became scorbunny
all artists are wizards

they can make ANYTHING come into being
for example, i can make scorbunny fart flames that shoot out for thirty meters

I never said "use these powers responsibly"
with great power comes more great power
Infinite power
is this a joke character? if it is, i dont give a damn about it. she looks so goddamn cute!

its penny!! heck!
I like to imagine she twiddles her fingers when she's nervous :3

π
tru dat
guns and machinery are a bit more logical than things like people once you get perspective down
yeah guns don't have body types and hairstyles
From my observation, artists who lean towards being left-brained tend to get the hang of drawing machinery more quickly
and most important, they don't have HANDS
i mean, guns technically do have bodytypes and hairstyles

attachments and alternative magazines, etc etc
π
but
that is true
they dont have hands
thank goodness
thats just a fancy way of saying they dont have hands
they are rigid forms and often easy to break down into shapes like boxes or cylinders
what about transformers? π
compare that to a shoulder or torso
I used to not draw hands... mostly because I didn't draw humans
im a bunch of boxes too
a bunch of squishy boxes that twist and are rounded though
