I haven't even done a meaningful sketch of any of them in like a year
lone mountain
attempts have been made but its so hard
slate yoke
This was it. (Spoiled for mild blood, just a sketch so not detailed)
lone mountain
awe ;-;
slate yoke
The funny part is I've decided this ain't even canon now
slate yoke
"Here's a neat plot idea"
"OK but let's, like, not do that now"
lone mountain
works ass off on something wait that makes no sense but i already finished it...
lone mountain
im feeling slightly motivated to work on main cause of this convo now
ngl im feeling self concious about the hoodie thing tho LOL
slate yoke
I intentionally participate in OC talks here because it motivates me to actually write Jackson's story
Yeah he cute but cute don't mean shit when there's no deep lore
devout bridge
i wanna work on my ocs more ; o; but i can never keep future stories straight, its just easier to think about their past
slate yoke
If you can only focus on the past, then that's the story you should be writing tbh
devout bridge
fair
but its usually short cause i never have ocs that are older'n 40 8U
"he was born..an asshole. and then time flew by and he's still a huge dick"
"the end"
lone mountain
i always explore younger versions of my characters parents'
its really fun
and cute to think of how they met
devout bridge
i did that exactly once and then retconned them dying because i got too attached
lmao
lone mountain
at this point who doesnt kill their ocs
lament turtle
slate yoke
Yeah I’ve had temptations to kill OCs
lone mountain
i never kill them permanently
slate yoke
I’ve never felt inclined to explore past versions of Jackson’s parents because they both kinda suck
devout bridge
eyyy
i always change my mind about killing off ocs
😭 i get too attached and get sad
slate yoke
People on toyhouse only like my Pokémon OCs
And they’re all DND NPCs so they aren’t even protagonists 
lament turtle
I only have like my closed species and warrior cats on toyhouse so i mean
devout bridge
i think my fallout ocs and relle are my most popular ones
lament turtle
speaking of, anyone want some toyhouse codes? I got 3
lament turtle

lament turtle
@lone mountain
lone mountain
i know but theres a lot of new ways to do the layouts of them now
lament turtle
that sounds like
idk how to respond to that tbh
I joined this year like 2019 this year kinda thing and I still dont understand most of it
pastel iris
idk if toyhouse accepts fanarts
slate yoke
So many folders wtf
lament turtle
lone mountain
they dont
slate yoke
I manage one folder for each setting and that’s it
lone mountain
its for oc or fc's primarily
pastel iris
ouch :V
slate yoke
Ye gotta make sure the art is character focused and original
pastel iris
alright, tumblr is enough I suppose lol
lament turtle
lol
slate yoke
Tumblr sucks for OC stuff
Unless you are constantly putting out content it is so hard to get an OC noticed there
Yes Im mad that tumblr ignores my SDV stuff
pastel iris
I didn't say if I do it for OC
lament turtle
you can see my change in style depending on what season I draw in oops. birdsong was drawn in Summer, others Fall My emotions of the season change my drawing style of the season lol oof 😂
lament turtle
would you enjoy having one? I have 2 open ones left
tidal nova
if anyone have one for me i'd love to
lament turtle
ok but lets talk about this because it took me 3 days to finish but I can't even draw a face in 2 hours now
lament turtle

echo mesa
;D
tidal nova
but thank yo a LOT for the offer
echo mesa
^-^
lament turtle
Warning kinda scary/gore-ish @pastel iris i made Lostheart a cranberry kid. or at least half of a cranberry kid.
Here's his ref :))
pastel iris
heck yeah, now that's a real cute cat
lament turtle
of course the cranberry kid version of LH is big old man who doesnt like people.
but thats how he gets when he gets older so i mean
story is he is an apprentice -> warrior -> Deputy -> Half of face stops working (stroke?) -> Medicine cat who hates job but does it anyway and refuses to become Elder
pastel iris
'gets older' with that version of cat sounds like a soft way to say 'when he gets to his burial grounds' xD
lament turtle
i meant the big old man part but you know what thats ok too
pastel iris
but anyways
lament turtle
I'm surprised my lineless is still p good??
pastel iris
I thought lostheart was a she before lmao
lament turtle
no he is just big grumpy
pastel iris
for a grumpy cat he got quite elegant body
lament turtle
My List of Warrior Cat Ocs:
Leaders ::
Sunspot(Sunstar)
Hollowclaw(Hollowstar)
Badgerpelt(Badgerstar)
Fawnleap(Fawnstar)
Warriors/Deputies:
N/A
Medicine Cats:
Lostheart (RIP Deputy Job)
Apprentices:
Robinpaw (Robinbelly)
Elders:
Birdsong (but she still do the fight when invaded)
And my poor loner crew of:
'Cas' (Father was a leader, mother was an apprentice and only she survived out of the litter cause small mom so they all ran away)
'Scar' (He doesnt have a scar thats just what the alley cats called him)
'Ferin' (She big water cat who likes water and fish)
and last but not least
'Mint' (has addiction to catmint aka catnip)

unkempt tinsel
casual thank you to kyle for always reblogging sdv artists i do not know so very likely i am in kyle's notifications a lot
slate yoke
Kyle is my one source for consistent SDV content on my dash I think. I don't really follow any other SDV peeps other than you
And I've never reached out and interacted with the larger SDV tumblr community
Or....any tumblr community really. My ask blog interacts with the Hollow Knight community but that's under an alias lol
Most of those people will never touch my main blog
unkempt tinsel
i used to be more involved but i've started posting art slower and posting more original art so i'm kinda in the background now i think
but it's not a bad thing and i watch quite a few really nice sdv rebloggers and artists
slate yoke
Discord is better for community interaction anyway :3
unkempt tinsel
it iiissss
i should probably say hi to some mutuals on tumbl or something
i'm rarely on tumblr now
but then again i'm rarely on any social media
slate yoke
Interacting with mutuals

So I know I asked who to draw but I'm gonna be awful and override
unkempt tinsel

My idea for the dancer will involve a lot of anatomy which I'm just not good at yet
unkempt tinsel
it's all good do what ur heart wants t odo
unreal stream
So Imma do something simpler
slate yoke
You do you boo
Unless you're doing a request or a comm no one can decide what you draw

im gonna draw chibis since actual anatomy seems exhausting to me right now lol

He was the focus of a few quick practice and style sketches I did
jaunty tundra
oooo
slate yoke
I didn't keep this style but I'm still pleased with the sketches
acoustic gulch
ooooooooooooooooooo fable! he looks so good omg
also im amazed u can draw a character so consistently cos that my number one struggle ahh
slate yoke
That's part of why I do these practices
It helps hash a design out and learn to keep it consistent
slate yoke
my SON
slate yoke
So many of my OCs have gone through like....
5 designs
Only 2 have been consistent and one is only like 2 weeks old
And the other is because she hasn't been drawn in months
acoustic gulch
ohh that happens to me a lot
it's fun looking back and seeing how theyve changed
i remember seeing someone do like a "My OC through the years" kinda meme and it looked fun
slate yoke
Everyone has their own talents

i've only ever written lil fic as presents, but im a one scene wonder according to my writer friend cos i cut everything abruptly off right before theres a transition cos i cant figure out how to make those work

I made a lil fic trade once but I'm still waiting on the fic that was promised for me ahaha

ow that sucks
trades scare me
i'd only every do one if i was wanting to draw for someone anyway

Hey you guys! I'm looking for some artists to join a big project! We're adding a whole new location called Sundrop City to the world of Stardew Valley. It has several new areas within it, new characters, new quests, and the central piece - a historic hotel the player gets to restore and redecorate! Here's a sneak peek of what we've got going on so far.
Here's the top and bottom half of the Sundrop Promenade, the main location in the city. This is the raw file in Tiled screenshotted:
And here's one of the many furniture themes we're going to need for the decoratable hotel rooms:
We need world artists, furniture artists, sprite / portrait artists. Basically if you have any experience doing pixel art of any kind, we want you! 😄
Anyone interested in joining us? Our lead artist starts a new job this week so we're going to need some new blood to help us stay on track for our beta release in June!
Please @ me to reply if you're interested ❤

I don't understand
I tried to do exactly what I did yesterday but its as if I've forgetten how to draw

I JUST DID THIS, HOW HAVE I FORGOTTEN ALREADY
I'm so fucking frustrated like its not even funny
tidal nova
that's why i don't draw :(

I'm trying to draw this - not the hair or anything, just the basic construction - and I can't fucking do it again
acoustic gulch
quick someone post that graph about how imporvement looks vs time
unkempt tinsel
good luck froststar, it's a cool project but i don't think i'll be of any help
that's a good and too real graph
brazen lark
art be like that, i routinely forget how to draw
it just takes a bit to get back into it
slate yoke
Same
unreal stream
Its just I did a proper head less than a week ago, so why cant I do it again?
The fact it did click, and now its unclicked is super annoying
Maybe I was on auto-pilot. Maybe I was drawing the lines without actually thinking about what the lines were
Honestly thats probably it. Sorry to ramble Im just super frustrated
acoustic gulch
it's understandable tho arc, i think all u can do is try and not judge it too hard rn
unreal stream
Sorry for ranting, I just needed a vent
I'll try again tomorrow with a clear head. I got this and I know Ive been improving.
Hell that dumb doodle I did yesterday is better than shit I considered completed drawings last year

Yeah his species can have a naturally occurring spot pattern on their torsos. Canis has more spots than average, though!
Having a spot over an eye is rare as well

Ok so i was told to discuss possible stardew valley rp server stuff & ideas here
The ones I've seen on here the links mever worked, & honestly I'm shocked nobody has tried it since it's so popular
Like for example, like the beginning & end of days can be simple enough, but should seasons extend to better resemble a year irl, & you have more time to capitalize on things?
Like early spring, mid, late spring?
unkempt tinsel
i can't speak rp wise but writing wise i like having it function as 1 month = 1 season
slate yoke
Writing wise I just extend seasons to function as an expy for real world seasons
serene mica
I kinda like your idea @slate yoke maybe just like 2 months/season though so you do feel time progress, but you can also capitalize on all the seasons as well
slate yoke
I'm sure that would work
serene mica
So, how do you have an energy system for this?
To limit what you can do on a daily basis?
slate yoke
I mean depends on what your RP goal is
Is this a casual RP, or is this something run with a DM/GM?
If it's designed to be a game then you'd want to make it so that certain actions consume energy points. Tool usage and the like
If it's casual RP, I wouldn't even bother with it
serene mica
I want it to be very casual, like the actual game
But at the same time i still want there to be a prescedent of you not being able to do everything in a day, so there's always things to do
unkempt tinsel
maybe it would work as a general rule instead of something specific with numbers
slate yoke
yeah
If it isn't designed to be a proper game and just a casual thing, too many rules and numbers will ruin it
unkempt tinsel
like, "your farmer is a mortal like everyone else, so please don't make them do everything in a day. they need breaks, they get exhausted!"
slate yoke
If you're doing a DnD style game then numbers all the way! But if there's no goal or overarching story then there's really no need to even bother with concepts like energy. Let people play it out
unkempt tinsel
so if someone is doing x y z and it's a little much, i'd either nudge them about it, or i would heavily suggest that the farmer can't do squat or can do very little the next day
slate yoke
(I'm a DM of a really large game so I'm p passionate about RP)
serene mica
Yeah i just wanted more fun rp not an actual system
slate yoke
Give a rough outline of rules re: what people can and can't go in character, make some soft action restrictions, and leave the rest to the players to figure out
unkempt tinsel
i suppose it would be the farmer equivalent of no godmodding
slate yoke
The less you have to step in on free rp the better
serene mica
@slate yoke exactly
slate yoke
At the end of the day, a free RP should not need anyone to step in and handle things
serene mica
The other thing is finding people willing to rp as the townspeople
Granted you may find just as fun & interesting people playing as their own characters
slate yoke
If you ask around you're bound to find someone willing to take the role
At least of the more popular characters
You'll probably find Pennies no problem, but don't expect many Georges
unkempt tinsel
shout out to the leah roleplayer that wouldn't go out of character in this server
slate yoke
Dedicated
unkempt tinsel
annoying is the better word
slate yoke
There's a FE Loki rper on r/fireemblemheroes who's...something
azure nightBOT
slate yoke
The fact that Loki is.....voluptuous and sexualized doesn't make it any less uncomfortable when she replies to you
Know the time and place guys
slate yoke
You're welcome, good luck!
Sorry to repost, I had some sloppy spots I cleaned so this is the better version now :p
Obvs a sketchy style is gonna be naturally sloppy but I don't need big sections of out of the lines
slate yoke
I love him so much, probably my overall favorite OC rn and he isn't even a protagonist
unkempt tinsel
but i can ping you if anyone ever asks for rp, it doesn't happen too often
slate yoke
Yeah Tumblr is where the rp folk tend to gather
I was lucky to get my DnD group organized off a Discord server
~~20 player characters and I'm the only DM 
~~
unkempt tinsel
@lament turtle i know you brought up rping the other day, devjacobi is thinking of bringing together an rp server if you're interested
slate yoke
I might be interested in trying some casual RP. I haven't really done non organized stuff before.
lament turtle
Huh? I didn’t bring up rp
unkempt tinsel
it wasn't you? maybe it was someone else
i remember like 2 days ago people were talking about it
lament turtle
I just said that I haven’t rped in a long time
slate yoke
Smh Jade
lament turtle
I’m not really interested anyways lol
unkempt tinsel
sry for ping then
lament turtle
But I appreciate it nonetheless ^_^
slate yoke
Yeah that's why I said I might be interested :p
I don't know if I can reasonably balance it with my schedule
serene mica
Tysm for the help
slate yoke
Yw Dev!
Lemme know if you need more tips, like I said I'm a very experienced DM so I'm more than willing to give advice
unkempt tinsel
aw rip
well it does sound fun but i feel like i have to devote a lot of time to it
serene mica
I think it'd be like the real game
If you're busy irl, just drop in & check up to make sure you aren't missing out
Ok so what would you NOT want to see besides single people making you uncomfortable
crude reef
haha i used to rp a lot
i actually made an entire story/world with DnD type battle mechanics/system on discord but it never kicked off 🤷
it was more of a thing with friends vs a public thing though
serene mica
Mine was there was always a problem player
serene mica
But yeah to those interested hmu
unkempt tinsel
maybe hit em up anyhoo
serene mica
Well still hmu bc this won't be an instant thing
fringe gyro
I'd be interested if not for the fact that I have 3 other RPs with a friend, all of which I've not replied to for months.
unkempt tinsel
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh let's not state stuff like that please

Sleep? No, Canis

Trick to drawing both eyes the same size? Hide one
slate yoke
thank you!
You all are super supportive, and I really appreciate it! Whenever I post in other servers I tend to get completely ignored, so it's great to get at least some interaction on my stuff!
fringe gyro
Yeah, I agree. It's great. This is basically the only server I post art in any more. Except for friend servers.
onyx island
Indeed, folks around here are super supportive. I don't think I would've gotten far with my art if it wasn't for their support.
slate yoke
I still post in other servers, but I only expect actual engagement here
Other places I'll post and then someone else will post their stuff and never even acknowledge my post ._.
mighty bronze
some artists are just freaking jerks because they don't know to give feedback properly so they don't even bother but to cut you off
lone mountain
that and in a lot of other servers the people who try to give feedback arent even artists
mighty bronze
☝
slate yoke
I don't mind feedback from non artists honestly, sometimes they catch things I never would
mighty bronze
true facts
lone mountain
honestly every other art channel ive experienced on discord is poop
mighty bronze
lol same
slate yoke

unkempt tinsel
i don't mind if a non-artist has critique but they should at least be conscious of it
like i don't want someone telling me that x y z is wrong and that he could do this pose in his sleep

I'm a non-artist and I just sit here like 
pastel iris
Trick to drawing both eyes the same size? Hide one
literally me lmao
unkempt tinsel
but if someone is like "this looks a bit off to me maybe it's because of this" i'm like ty that's good to know
mighty bronze
and have your permission to give the critique most important
lone mountain
im mostly getting at the ones that all they want to do is critique
no positive feedback
arctic hare
I'm always afraid of doing that because maybe that's just their style and I would hate for them to be self concious on that.
lone mountain
and its usually unwarranted as well
slate yoke
Yeah that's the kind of stuff I mean Jade
Polite, consensual critique with an understanding that they don't really know for certain
unkempt tinsel
yeah i hate when people do that jev
fleet gazelle
Cold, or duplicate the eye and flip it?
unkempt tinsel
ya that's totally fair fable
pastel iris
there is no ctrl+c and ctrl+v in traditional drawing apparently lol
arctic hare
I have done a "I think that colour their looks a little out of place. Have you thought about maybe using x?" and felt a tad guilty about it. But in the end it really helped them
fleet gazelle
Lol
pastel iris
so it only works in digital art frozo xD
fleet gazelle
Well then hide the eye
lone mountain
when i sketch i onlt draw 1 eye too LOL

Asymmetrical character design ftw

onyx island
Yessss do it and share with us 
subtle dagger
Me? ;o

hell yeah
onyx island
Yesss
subtle dagger
I did post one in the creative channel x3. It was from a while back though. I'd be down to draw someone's character, provided a reference pic is in order
subtle dagger
Thanks 😁
pastel iris
ignoring some arts is kinda conditional I think, not intended to be mean but I found it justified for a such reason like the artist literally drawing almost similar thing for many times, a certain artist's style that doesn't fit the viewer, or personally found it disturbing for many reasons
also timezone difference, technical issues on your pc, blackouts or anything that's blocking your attempt to reach discord
unkempt tinsel
well ppl don't have to comment on everything but typically it's a bit rude to post your art right above someone else's without commenting on it
slate yoke
Right
Comments aren't required, but typically it's considered poor taste to just ignore someone's work and post your own
Even a small "Good job!" comment is better than nothing!
unkempt tinsel
i don't mean like, 10 mins have passed and you post something, or convo has happened since then, i mean like RIGHT after someone posts art
pastel iris
it's a bit rude to post your art right above someone else's without commenting on it this just literally happened on me lmao
unkempt tinsel
which luckily doesn't happen TOO much here
pastel iris
but I personally found it no problem at all
unkempt tinsel
well i'm glad it doesn't bother you, it annoys me personally since we're here to engage
slate yoke
Oh my God I thought the people above me had commented on you I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to do the thing I literally proceeded to complain about
unkempt tinsel
i mean we've all probably done it unintentionally at some point
i don't hold it against a person unless they do it nigh constantly
pastel iris
it's not actually bothering me at all jade, sometimes it hurts, and sometimes it's not
subtle dagger
I can attest to that honestly. I was part of a graphics forum way back when I was still a budding lad towards the craft. A lot of veterans didnt really take kindly to showing newcomers the push or kindness that was warranted.
hard lynx
gib all art
unkempt tinsel
i love your art rice i love whenever u post
and yeah cultures can be different depending on the place
slate yoke
Fun fact, with this most recent Lewis ping I have gone 145 levels without a single Alex badge

if you're kinda expecting for being ignored, then it doesn't hurt
hard lynx
smooch i loved ur PENNY PIC TODAY JAD
unkempt tinsel
at least here we try to encourage people. you won't be sacrificed if you don't comment but it'll reflect on you if you CONSTANTLY ignore people's art while posting your own
slate yoke
That's not a good mindset to have
unkempt tinsel
awww thank u
slate yoke
:/
pastel iris
but what hurt me the most is my arts being ignored while the others are kinda being appreciated
unkempt tinsel
ahhhhh i appreciate it
subtle dagger
@pastel iris do you have an art page?
pastel iris
my only art page is here ryoku lol
I just started drawing this year, after many years of.. solitude lmao
subtle dagger
I see. If you had an Instagram I'd follow you and such. I mostly post my art on there, and am always looking to support people. It's a small gesture, but I know it helps in some way at least
pastel iris
instagram is good for posting arts? I thought it's kinda mostly for photographies?
subtle dagger
I mean, a photograph of your work counts right? And i see a lot of people doing it on a daily basis.
safe goblet
a lot of people use insta for art
though it's a pain to upload to
i'd use it more as a networking thing than a main gallery
subtle dagger
I used to frequent deviantArt a lot...but the community has gotten more, toxic for a lack of better word
pastel iris
so I'd express my deepest apology but I'd be ignoring those type of art that is promoting or containing much of nationality, political organisations, etc
I personally found it disturbing, but I'm open to critiques against my point of view, in case if what I do is wrong
it does count as art indeed, only that I didn't photograph ryoku xD
subtle dagger
Well you should :P. Or start to. You'll never know who you meet. And perhaps grow your network
slate yoke
DeviantArt is less politics and more fetish art
fleet gazelle
Lol
safe goblet
overview of art sites, this is still really relevant
subtle dagger
Oh...Tumblr.
safe goblet
insta isn't mentioned here but it's sort of the same idea as twitter and facebook i think
subtle dagger
I forgot all about it after the big change ahaha. Good times.
slate yoke
Success on tumblr is like a firecracker. It's sporadic, unpredictable, and was probably set off by your neighbor
safe goblet
i can't stand tumblr's interface at all
slate yoke
I have a shitpost with 45k+ notes and fanart while my normal content barely scrapes 10 notes
brazen lark
if tumblr hadnt completely shit the bed and pushed away a large percentage of its users away to twitter, it would still be kinda decent- if youre an artist for a popular fandom
safe goblet
yeah tumblr's very fandom focused
slate yoke
Tumblr doesn't like OCs unless you're an ask blog
Tumblr doesn't like literature unless you're a prompt blog
brazen lark
my active tumblr blog is completely focused on sdv and the sdv community on there is great
brazen lark
(and the sdv community on tumblr super loves ocs, whooooo)

I'm trying to interact with SDV tumblr but I dunno how to tag anything :U
I've posted all my Jacksons and got nothing 
subtle dagger
I used to run an NSFW one. That was about the only thing relevant I've done in my life LOL
safe goblet
find people already in the fandom and just spam follow/like all their stuff
brazen lark
i stick with sdv, stardew valley, sdv [character name], sdv oc, sdv farmer
slate yoke
Oh ok I've been using full stardew for everything
brazen lark
i check the sdv oc tag fairly often and reblog anything i see
slate yoke
I'm just gonna....edit some tags
brazen lark
if i draw One single sdv character and post it, i sorta go ham with the variants of "sdv [character name]" LMAO
ALSO, do not curse, tumblr hates that and will not show your post in the search if you put Any of its no no words in the tags
frozen plaza
uh kyle, hope i'm not interrupting but did your contest have a winner?
brazen lark
oh my survey?
frozen plaza
yeah
frozen plaza
very shocking
slate yoke
And no one was surprised
brazen lark
HES ALL I EVER DRAW.........i guess thats just what the ppl want
frozen plaza
(I voted for emily :P)
brazen lark
i really shouldnt have even added him to the poll but its fine
the second winner was elliott so ill prob just,, paint him out of pity JDFGD
frozen plaza
I mean I still love your art
brazen lark
aw thanks!
frozen plaza
also, at the end of the survey you asked how awesome sebbie was. definitely no influencing the poll there 😛
frozen plaza
and there's nothing wrong with that
lone mountain
i still need to draw my farmer and sebastian only cause people thought they looked the same
frozen plaza
consider drawing them in the other's clothes to emphasize that?
slate yoke

Fresh Jackson locked and loaded >:U
frozen plaza
I don't see the slime ring on him
safe goblet
his shirt reminds me of tierzoo...
frozen plaza
oh
slate yoke
This one specifically
frozen plaza
sweet
slate yoke
It's a blue ring in my interpretation
lone mountain
well their clothing is pretty similar
its their key features that are more distinct
frozen plaza
the slime ring in SDV: the true one ring to rule them all
brazen lark
ur farmer the person u drew with sam yesterday?
subtle dagger
I thought that was markiplier for a second haha
slate yoke
Oh are you talking about your OC with the ponytail?
arctic hare
I love the rainbow bars on his shirt! Problem is my brain goes to weird places and it's like "Is he an Android and that's his charge bar?"
I apologize profusely Fable. Please forgive.
lone mountain
no no
slate yoke
Lolol
lone mountain
corner
lone mountain
i guess they do look p similar
slate yoke
I thought he had a ponytail lol
arctic hare
He is adorable. 
frozen plaza
All i really see in true common with sebbie is the hoodie
slate yoke
Yeah same
onyx island
Hehe I thought just like Catknight and thought it was the tierzoo icon on his shirt too
brazen lark
ye
slate yoke
Hair color too I guess
pastel iris
Tumblr doesn't like OCs unless you're an ask blog Tumblr doesn't like literature unless you're a prompt blog
I'm not sure but.. is tumblr really this complicated?
frozen plaza
Like is the hair supposed to be similar? Cause don't you just draw pretty much all characters with that kind of hair?
slate yoke
It likes nothing and everything
lone mountain
maybe 👀
pastel iris
I think I need to bang my head for many times to understand that well lmao
frozen plaza
well not the one thing you drew for Jade
pastel iris
likes nothing and everything.. 
brazen lark
✌
frozen plaza
still waiting for the day Listiel joins the server
brazen lark
hes prob busy! with class/work
slate yoke
Yeah probs
frozen plaza
Well I wouldn't know his situation
what about that one person who is Haley's wife? does she still post?
slate yoke
She changed accounts a while back and I lost track of what her un was
lone mountain
i think theyre busy in other fandoms now
brazen lark
and the thing about tumblr is honestly common everywhere
- people ultimately prefer seeing content of characters they already know and love (ie, characters from popular media)
- its easier and faster to Look at an image than read something
slate yoke
this is true!
Despite there being dedicated fanfic sites, the truth overall is that it's really hard to attract people to a fanfic
Heck, writing on the internet in general is difficult to find success with
pastel iris
alright, so I think I'm at odds again, right now I'm only drawing sdv-related stuff at least until I have a drawing-assisting hardware, which site should I use to post my sdv arts now? lol
frozen plaza
is artstation any good?
brazen lark
there was a sdv fic floating around today (i reblogged it) and tbh, the reason why it got my attention was bc the art was fuckin gorgeous
its a good portfolio place
subtle dagger
On a side note. Why does logo making take all my brainpower ;-;
slate yoke
Artstation is if you're trying to be professional
frozen plaza
that makes sense
pastel iris
@ ryoku, taste difference perhaps? I'm kinda used of logo making though
brazen lark
i really only post my sdv art regularly on tumblr
pastel iris
artstation for sdv related art, is that kinda bit too much? xD
brazen lark
i only made my twitter out of mild spite for tumblr being trash
but im still there lmao
slate yoke
I'm tempted to dedicate my tumblr to SDV and OCs and make my twitter the place for my everything else
brazen lark
also no i wouldnt post sdv art on my artstation dfkgjfdgdf
pastel iris
I feel like an ant comparing myself to a titans if I do it though xD
slate yoke
Since overall Tumblr is a passive experience for me anyway
pastel iris
so tumblr for sdv-related art
lone mountain
tumblr is like looking in on a snowglobe for me
pastel iris
but what's the deal about tumblr likes nothing and everything? I'm still confused lol
frozen plaza
well i know a few artists post their stuff to the steam community
lone mountain
or fishtank
frozen plaza
that's how i discovered keychain and listiel
slate yoke
So when someone likes your tumblr post, that's it
It isn't broadcasted or anything
It isn't saved to their profile in a very public place
When it comes to exposure, tumblr likes do nothing to help you as an artist
lone mountain
ngl tumblr is the only reason i got any exposure
pastel iris
tbh I'm not ready for exposure yet lmao, I guess tumblr can be a good start
arctic hare
Is there something else in leu of Tumblr that y'all use? Trying to follow you all and show some love.
slate yoke
Tumblr reblogs are really good for exposure on the other hand
subtle dagger
I miss the days of when I would roam around the internet for forums, (mainly Roleplay ones) and do banners and signatures for the folks inside.
slate yoke
My twitter is verified on my Discord profile page
brazen lark
the search function can be good when the user actually Understands how tumblr works
slate yoke
I have deviantart but I'm really bad about actually doing anything on it
arctic hare
Ok so what I am hearing is if I am using Tumblr is to reblog and not like?
slate yoke
Yes
lone mountain
deviantart is scary
lone mountain
theres some dude going around on there stealiung young girl ocs and getting them drawn with him
pastel iris
deviantart is scary
I agree this 
slate yoke
I'm sorry what
lone mountain
its fucking gross
frozen plaza
@lone mountain wasn't that something talked about last night?
arctic hare
Sorry for whats about to happen Jev lmao
frozen plaza
or was i misremembering that conversation?
slate yoke
Oh yeah I had someone randomly beg me for fetish art from a show I've never even drawn anything for once on DA
slate yoke
Like the show wasn't even in the same ballpark as the rest of my work
It was
An experience
lone mountain
i just use it for roleplay groups
pastel iris
kink central lmao
lone mountain
rite??
slate yoke
Deviantart feels like it has a younger overall age group
brazen lark
how to show up in tumblr's tag search
- tumblr only counts the first five tags (so if you want your art to be shown in a specific tag, it needs to be within the first five)
- avoid cursing in the tags (saying words like, shit, fuck, etc will prevent your post from showing up at all)
- any links?? this gets.... confusing because ive had some of my posts suddenly appear when i removed a redirect link, but sometimes its fine. i just tend to avoid putting links in my original posts
lone mountain
it feels that way but theres a lot of old creeps on there too
slate yoke
I've never put links in my posts because I've heard that causes problems
Deviantart is half kids half creepers
slate yoke
Uhh iirc no
brazen lark
uhhhh like when you reblog something?
slate yoke
Because you aren't limited to one reblog on Tumblr
You could spam that reblog button all day on tumblr and it'd keep posting
arctic hare
Yea! Just there is no visual indicator for when I do it and I'm like "Did it do the thing? #Confused"
slate yoke
When in doubt tab over to your blog!
brazen lark
(i love you xkit)
thin dagger
wait normal tumblr doesnt have that??
brazen lark
nop
slate yoke
Ok I need this new xkit link
thin dagger
ive been using xkit for so long i thought that was a thing fnjdsfdnksj
brazen lark
DFJGD YEAH
slate yoke
Because I had the old one installed on my first blog years ago
Then that drama thing happened
brazen lark
arctic hare
Ahhh I'm using the mobile app
brazen lark
the tag viewer is my fav extension
brazen lark
i love.....reading peoples tags on my art
thin dagger
!!!! yes!!
lone mountain
im not ready for the dreaded 'kin' tag
brazen lark
oh fuckin same
thin dagger
esp when im down about my art or something and i look back,,,, it just makes me so happy.
brazen lark
or when you post your oc and then someone reblogs and tags, "oh this is [my oc] looks like!"
im like, 🔫 👀 go away.
slate yoke
How do you use tag viewer 
brazen lark
it happens so often in the dnd community djfghbjd
lone mountain
you gotta add it manually after installing xkit
lone mountain
good thing im not in dnd
slate yoke
I have it installed I just don't remember where to look for tags
lone mountain
yet
brazen lark
ur fine
it honestly grinds my gears when i see ppl using other ppls ocs for their dnd characters
or like literally Anything
brazen lark
i get that ppl might not know how to draw but why dont you Pay me instead of stealing my content
hard lynx
I will pay u in 300 hotdogs
subtle dagger
Ehm. As a roleplayer (or rather, former). We don't do it out of malicious intent, if that's what you're thinking of. I personally avoid trying to use actual art from people who posted straight from the paper. And I always reference my characters back to the original artist(s). But I get the point there too.
pastel iris
Apparently those people must've been thinking if stealing is kinda sport
subtle dagger
It's common yeah, I see it everywhere.
slate yoke
I've always drawn my RP charas myself
brazen lark
as long as youve gained permission from the artist, then its fine
slate yoke
I don't get the "oh this is so my character" thing
lone mountain
basically people were drawign anime characters as dogs or anthros
and sayign they were original characters
they finally rolled out new rules that banned those characters
im so glad
brazen lark
holy shit
slate yoke
OH you mean that rule change thing
lone mountain
ur fanart isnt an oc soz
slate yoke
People are something else
brazen lark
the fact that it was actually banned must mean it happened often
lone mountain
it was all over
slate yoke
Granted technically my Pokemon OCs barely qualify but still
lone mountain
i would try to find fan-characters
nothing but anime dogs
theyd sell them for profit too
its so stupid
hard lynx
anime scoob
slate yoke
Sweats
lone mountain
your copying copyrighted material for $100 wtf
those are more acceptable
tbh
cause its just a canon species
idk its confusing with pokemon
slate yoke
Well I do have a page of actual character info for each :U
They're tricky yeah
For them I see it more as the personality rather than the design
lone mountain
shit like this
slate yoke
Because like these are all def original characters, they just don't really have unique designs to go with it due to setting limitations
slate yoke
Thank you!!
lone mountain
theyd keep all the characters names and personality/history identical to the canon character too
brazen lark
OH DEKU
brazen lark
i saw u mentioned that u were a dm for like, 20 players??
lone mountain
leave the poor babs alone
brazen lark
thats craaaaazy (i dm for four)
slate yoke
Luckily we have artists with us too so I get fanart of the campaign all the time!
I commissioned one of my players to draw this of my main PCs
brazen lark
thats super amazing!
slate yoke
These are the guys who are in the main plot
The rest of the players are doing side missions
hard lynx
dang that's gorgeous!!!
slate yoke
She is really talented
brazen lark
also tbh what jev is describing with the toyhouse thing reminds me of like, ppl recoloring sonic characters and calling it their original oc
hard lynx
hello this is my dog nart they love the soup noodle
slate yoke
Barkruto
brazen lark
thats his son's name
hard lynx
bark the fart
mighty bronze
go to sleep rice
slate yoke
Also let it be known that the artist that did that mural
Also did this for the campaign
They get distracted easy and like to bring the NPCs down with them
mighty bronze
lmaooo
hard lynx
i love it
slate yoke
mighty bronze
wew
slate yoke
They're a great group to work with overall. Super understanding and fun. We've had no group drama or the like and it's been great writing practice
It's been about a year and a half since we've started and we're looking forward to at least another 2!
brazen lark
are u using a homebrew ruleset for pokemon related dnd thats floating around or did you homebrew it yourself?
slate yoke
I homebrewed it working off of a friend's homebrew
I had a friend who started his own format set in the PMD world, so I built off of that
He had nice coded excel sheets and the works for battles
vvv handy for mathematically challenged people like me.
Augh ok it is nearly 2:30 am and I legit don't feel good
I should probably sleep, good night everyone 
onyx island
Good night Fable! 
arctic hare
Tumblr friends, any reason why Tumblr is being a bitch and refusing to accept and profile or header pics I upload to it?
brazen lark
i think either the size of the file might be too large or your tumblr was marked sensitive
i Thiiiink (dont quote me on this) having ur tumblr marked sensitive prevents u from doin that?
lone mountain
yeah for some reason my tumblr registers your account as sensitive
arctic hare
wtf I have no idea how to change it
devout bridge
me, telling my friends i'm fine through my dairy induced nausea
lone mountain
LOL
devout bridge
ice cream is worth it
yells i dont have my zinework done, but i have it more or less figured out. but the more i work on it the less i'm allowed to post 😭
having work that u cant show people is awful!! im going to fight
lone mountain
someone needs to force me to develop my cowboy 😡
lone mountain
im not really sure yet honestly
all i have for him is his mother was from mexico and his father was a white man but ended up orphaned early on
this is what i settled on for his face
arctic hare
Hmm. And I'm just spit balling here, but perhaps you can expand on the mother's home town? Like is there a family house there?
Ooo rugged handsome man
lone mountain
honestly i think she was probably a prostitute
which makes more sense for him to not have grown up with her
arctic hare
So he would have had foster parents then?
lone mountain
probably a shitty institution with several other orphans
so he'd gtfo of there early on in his teens
arctic hare
Would he have made close friends with any of them?
lone mountain
im not sure, i know i wanted to get somewhat affiliated with gang like activities around his teens
he's more of a sidelines guy with that type of stuff when he was involved tho
(mostly cause i dont want him to die)
arctic hare
Hmmmm so maybe a child gang?
lone mountain
i wouldnt say that
just people finding easy recruitments
orphans are probably an easy target
esp if theyre in crappier living/social envirements
cause they just wanna feel like they belong somewhere
so he probably just got sucked up into that sort of stuff subconsciously
lone mountain
yeah id like to think some huge fuck up split their gang so even if the more main members are still affiliated
the more distant members fucked off
so he probably does work at a ranch for someone nowadays
arctic hare
Would he still be in Mexico at this point or would he be trying to get into the US?
lone mountain
probably southern US
arctic hare
Any reason for him to head north at all?
lone mountain
i think thats just where he ended up
i think for just most of his life just took place around the border
ill have to do some actual historical research since i just made him cause i was sad about red dead so a lot of my ideas just stem from that and basic shit i learned in school
arctic hare
I think itll work out to be amazing. I hope I was able to help out though!
I personally love the story's of hardship and having to overcome adversity
unkempt tinsel
@hard lynx woah ur oc is SO COOL u should make a toyhouse bio of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jev i LOVE his face also THAT LIL DOODLE OF SEBASTIAN AND UR FARMER IS CUTE
also to echo previous convo, i also got more known because of tumblr but i admittedly don't pay attention to the communities much anymore
i'm so absorbed in this one
but i am like 1000000% jazzed if i see anyone from tumblr come to this server or vice versa
also i didn't know the thing about tags, i'll have to put my personal tags at the end more often
i use a "my art" and "fan art" tags a lot but it's mostly for myself
pastel iris
nice oc jev, sorry I couldn't talk much due I'm not into this kind of topic xD
pastel iris
goddamn it, my attempts on fabionising elliott is still failing 😭
apparently my artstyle is doomed not to match with fabio :/
lament turtle
That’s fabulous!
pastel iris
apparently my elliott is the only one who's wearing cravat compared to other artist that seemingly prefer tie instead xD
and tanx blue 
lament turtle
I’d like some criticism and advice on drawing more than just portraits
Can anyone let me know how to get into drawing different things?
lone mountain
they look great!
and id say just slowly work down from where your at
start drawing them waist up instead of bust
oh wait
what different things exactly
like more dynamic poses?
pastel iris
what different things exactly
was about to ask the specific as well :V
lament turtle
Something other than portraits (full bodies, poses, perspective)
pastel iris
perspective
this is the most ouchie for me
lament turtle
Haha sometimes me too
pastel iris
I'm not sure if this is the right answer for you blue, but just.. give it a try xD
try drawing full bodies while looking at references, but if you still found it buggy for a reason you're free to ask about people's opinions here
^
^
just an opinion from a noob :3
lament turtle
Thank u ^_^
lone mountain
i wanna use ocs so bad but the only time i really can is if i insert them into a canon universe
otherwise its so boring reee
safe goblet
just make your own canon universe 
lone mountain
still boring in the sense of i cant interact with a unpredictable product
safe goblet

So I'm helping another game dev make their project (Basically they tell me what they want and I figure out how to get it done), and the game we're making is 2D. They're looking for an.... EXTREMELY unique artstyle. Any artists y'all can suggest?
They didn't really describe the artstyle well, so I'm just looking for unique styles to send them, to see what they want.
lament turtle
Vivziepop comes to mind. Joanna Dadovich, Japhers, CT, Aeonix
Nargyle's style is pretty unique too
native swallow
Nargyle and Japhers seem close, the others I don't think will fit the game style. I was mostly looking for smaller artists, though. Not the already established ones.
