I see art of two fav guys hugging and its just so cozy

[thorn pulsar]

there are fewer boobs in the way on average, which is great for bear hugs; I'm short, so even pre-boob removal, it was awkward loving those super tight hugs but having to navigate being at boob height for most people.

Like. I promise I'm trying my best to avoid this situation, but we've both committed to squeezing the life out of each other, so we just have to live with it.

[lament turtle]

Wut are we talking about

[onyx island]

Aw but I love boob hugs

[candid citrus]

this discussion is very creative

[thorn pulsar]

guys hugging guys and how short I am, I think.

[urban minnow]

With girls i just gotta accept the boob crushing lol

Its part of the deal

[thorn pulsar]

and art. I think.

[urban minnow]

Crap oops

[thorn pulsar]

we started at art. we got a little distracted along the way.

[urban minnow]

So uhhh. Drawing hugs

Very good

[devout bridge]

Drawing hugs is nice but I ain't got time to do it

[thorn pulsar]

same

[urban minnow]

I usually mess it up by not getting a ref photo. I get lazy

[devout bridge]

Lmao

[tawny lynx]

As with all things, it started with agreeing that Seb is attractive.

[ripe thicket]

Thank you XDD

It's my farmer as witch tho uwu

[tawny lynx]

Oh. Still looks good.

[glossy steppe]

https://i.imgur.com/8Or0WVf.gif im no good at lineless pixel art with more detailed styles, i feel like there's an abundance of orphan pixels on the right that make it look noisy

[visual grail]

i think that looks really smooth, not just the animation which is obviously very bouncy and fluid for blinking, but also the actual pixels look pretty neat. it doesn't look (to my eyes) like there's any pixel that shouldn't be there or doesn't serve a purpose i guess.

[devout stream]

@ripe thicket ur final pic looks great. keep it up!

[glossy steppe]

sorry i sent too early

That's really reassuring, thank you for the feedback!

[devout stream]

love that pixel art! looks really clean

[wraith nova]

it looks great

I love the details your put in it and I agree with Stella it looks fluid and bouncy for the blink which is great imo

[unreal stream]

finally gave the queen some eyes - can hopefully move on to lineart

[safe path]

Not Penny, but getting some serious Penny vibes from the hair.

this art is super cute

[devout stream]

dat is cute!

alex looks like hes about to assault someone with that icecream + scooper

[safe path]

How come everyone nose how to draw noses except me

[onyx island]

Don't look at me, I don't know how to do noses either

[safe path]

:< you didnt notice the pun

but seriously drawing noses is hard. Especially since the noses i usually draw are just circles

[devout bridge]

I love noses sm

I use triangles if I really need to build a foundation though. Circles don't work right for anything but the tip

[safe path]

No i literally mean the noses i draw are just circles. Though ive been drawing the one on the right more often lately

[tropic dawn]

look at that nose... it is a nose without it being one xD

[midnight saffron]

Noses are evil lol

Know what's even worse? HANDS

[safe path]

Hands are okay

I can do hands

[tropic dawn]

hands I can do depending on the angle

also, i found a tip that save me to draw some fingers

third and fourth are almost always stuck together, so big bump that you put a line in between and bam! fingers

[midnight saffron]

Hmm I'll try that

[lament turtle]

How does this look? Looking for critism and advice

[midnight saffron]

Great! Shane is my favorite.

[lament turtle]

Thanks!

[midnight saffron]

Think I'm gonna do something non-SDV for my next artwork

[lament turtle]

Cool

Yeah I made the Shane thing for my yt channel that I’m starting

I’m so excited

[sacred sleet]

I should make some sdv art sometime, I just need to practice drawing better

[lament turtle]

I made one for gaming before but quickly realized I’d rather do an art one

You probably draw pretty well

I suck

Did you participate in Inktober this year?

[sacred sleet]

All my art is metal stuff, I don't actually draw well at all or ever

I did not

[lament turtle]

Oh

Cool

Wdym by metal

[sacred sleet]

Welding and stuff, I've made a statuette of Icarus, the razor from English steel by Judas priest, a Lily pad with a water lotus and a dragonfly

Kinda just random stuff

[lament turtle]

Oh wow cool!

[verbal onyx]

that sounds really cool

[lament turtle]

Icarus!! Do you like Greek mythology too?

[sacred sleet]

Yeah, I like most mythologies a ton

[lament turtle]

Nice

Yeah I love Greek mythology

But I I’ve others too, just prefer Greek

Love*

[sacred sleet]

I think I have pictures of the stuff on my phone but pretty far down in my folder

[lament turtle]

Ooh cool

If you find them you should show them

[sacred sleet]

In the creative channel?

*art channel

[lament turtle]

Do you have like a social media or smth where you post stuff like this

Yeah or just anyway here

Anywhere

They probably look really cool

[verbal onyx]

yeah, i'd like to see

[sacred sleet]

Hang on, let me scroll through

[lament turtle]

Alright

[lament turtle]

Wow looks amazing!!!!!!

[sacred sleet]

Luckily they were all grouped together

[lament turtle]

How do you even do that?!

Nice

Those look absolutely phenomenal

[sacred sleet]

I don't even know, I kinda just do it. I think it's more of having access to tools than anything else

[lament turtle]

That’s really cool, I probably couldn’t do it if I tried

[sacred sleet]

I think I have a step by step of building Icarus

[verbal onyx]

yeah those are awesome

[sacred sleet]

Thank you

I made the Lily pad and Icarus for art competitions

[lament turtle]

Yeah I just recently got back into drawing because I really want to be an animator when I grow up

[sacred sleet]

That sounds awesome, and hard

Though I imagine most awesome jobs are that way

[lament turtle]

Yeah I’m trying to get my technical drawing skills up and then transferring to animation

Yeah

You? What do you plan on doing

[sacred sleet]

Well that art there is what I'd love to do but I will probably end up being some other industrial welder

Right now I work at a newspaper mill vacuuming up the dust and stuff

[lament turtle]

Wow cool yeah you’d be great at the metal sculpting

[sacred sleet]

I used to really want to work on trails and wilderness areas for a living because I really enjoy doing that work but the pay is so low I couldn't feasibly live off it

[lament turtle]

Oh yeah

I’m trying to decide between animation or something like what Jake Parker does

Like illustrating books and comics

[sacred sleet]

Thanks, I think if I could be better at working faster and more efficiently than I could probably get far but as it is most of those projects took ages

That would be really cool, what gets you into that area of animation?

[lament turtle]

What do you mean?

By like what gets you

[verbal onyx]

i've always thought it would be fun to try welding and metalwork, but never have had an opportunity to try

[lament turtle]

Yeah

[sacred sleet]

Well, what jobs/schooling pushes you into that part of the artistic area

[lament turtle]

Well I guess my goal or dream would be to work for Pixar and make movies like toy story and things like that. It’s a pretty far stretch but

[sacred sleet]

It's very fun, I would recommend looking into a place where you can learn. Old people with shops might teach you

[lament turtle]

Is that how you learned

[sacred sleet]

You never know, working for them is just as much knowing how to do the work as it is knowing people

Sort of, my grandpa taught me to weld and then I took 9 or so welding classes in high school

[lament turtle]

Oh wow that’s cool

[sacred sleet]

Which landed me into my current job because my last shop teacher gave me a job recommend and some other teacher told me about the job

[lament turtle]

Yeah both my parents are musicians but can’t really draw so I kinda had to learn by myself

Ahh

[sacred sleet]

You should talk to some leather workers/carvers, they usually know quite a bit about drawing and proper shading

[lament turtle]

Cool, yeah I think I’m probably too young to do that though

[sacred sleet]

I started doing leather work when I was 16

And welding I'm 8th grade

[lament turtle]

Oh huh cool

[sacred sleet]

Course I'm only 18 now so that's not a huge thing

[lament turtle]

Yeah I’m in eighth grade

Cool

Are you going to college or smth

[sacred sleet]

There's some pretty big Facebook groups full of old dudes who carve leather and teach new people

[lament turtle]

Cool

[azure night]

cool cool cool

[sacred sleet]

Nah, I'm not a college person. I'm working on getting into an apprenticeship right now

[lament turtle]

Ahhh cool

Yeah I’m trying to think whether to go to art school or use those years to practice by myself

[sacred sleet]

I was in college for like three quarters of a year and then I dropped out

[lament turtle]

Ahh

Ok sorry but I have to go now, it was nice talking to you though

[sacred sleet]

Cya

[midnight saffron]

Was considering drawing one of these guys from HTTYD

[ripe thicket]

What do you usually do to get followers on social media?

I've been stuck at 400 followers on IG for years and idk what to do.

I feel like my work is not enough

[lusty hull]

I don't know. I think a lot of is luck of people finding you, not that your work isn't enough

[ripe thicket]

I know.. I tried drawing for active fandoms, i participated in a lot of zines, I guess i'm not lucky

[lusty hull]

Playing the numbers game is hard

[rich delta]

Are you putting hashtags at the bottom of the description, if using them at all? Instagram is a lot different from minimalist Twitter (where you only use around two hashtags) where the more the merrier, but only if they're all the way at the bottom. At least, that's what I've heard as advice from people who had to work for attention on insta.

[ripe thicket]

Yeah, I'm mainly in IG, I started in all the other social media later

[rich delta]

How often are you posting?

And are you interacting with other artists/communities who have around the same amount of or more followers? Imo when I found success (primarily on Tumblr) it was only when I was interacting with other blogs/artists and drawing art for/from them, tho unsure if that method could apply to art insta

[ripe thicket]

Lately I have been posting less often because I was discouraged, I still have to upload the last batch of inktober and I have a ton of art I did as commissions I wanted to post as well

Yes, I do that too

[rich delta]

Ahh that's understandable. Also maybe time? Unsure what fandoms in particular you're drawing for, but each one has their own timezone of sorts of active users
I know one artist who only posts at 3am est and because they're an American artist, usually only get oceania fans

[devout stream]

@ripe thicket a lot of it just comes down to luck 😦

i know some AMAZING artists (you included) that do not have a very large following

[rich delta]

^^^

[devout stream]

the person who got famous off of bowsette? it was all luck. he posted his bowsette pic in the right place, right time, and it went literally viral

dude doesnt even draw that much, he said so himself

[ripe thicket]

Yeah, I hope I get some of that XD

[devout stream]

you've just also got to be persistent with uploading

and not everything has to be a super flashy finalized piece

im almost at 1K followers after like 6 years LOL

but i was persistent and constantly drawing and posting things i like

[ripe thicket]

Sometimes I post like once a week, once a month or like every 2 days but I have been posting since 2015 xD

[devout stream]

yea its a bumpy road

i try to upload literally everywhere - newgrounds, deviantart, pixiv, tumblr

twitter is really bad for artists since there's no real organic way to discover them outside of retweets and really horrible organized hashtags

with tumblr, pixiv, you really try to take advantage of tags

and for pixiv, specifically, you try and find out the japanese tag for a word

スターデューバレー is Stardew Valley, for example

i also upload to Amino Apps, I've got a bit of a following on there from very persistent posting and some of them have moved over to Twitter

the Stardew Amino is quite active

[urban minnow]

reddit can get you some traffic too

[devout stream]

thats true!

i used to post my RWBY art to the RWBY subreddit and got a decent following on there too

[urban minnow]

gaming subreddits love fanart because it changes the pace from reposts and memes

i see a lot of people ask the artist for their social media too

[ripe thicket]

I've been doing some commissions on Pokefarm lately but otherwise i'm stuck

I will take a look at Pixiv

And Reddit

Thank you 💖

[devout stream]

i think ur SDV art would do really well on the respective subreddit, Ava!

[urban minnow]

fanart gets a lot of attention there

[devout stream]

good fanart is definitely a nice change of pace from all of the garbage that gets posted on there

[urban minnow]

i mean this with love for the subreddit, if i see one more "haily requesting a secret item only girls would understand" screenshot i will die

[devout stream]

dsafdsf

i went on there and immediatley saw something ive seen a billion times

tbh i have made so much art since the last timee i posted to the reddit idk what i would even post

but i'd imagine the reddit wouldn't care much for my self-indulgent eriabi artwork

[ripe thicket]

I will try owo

But all my SDV art is my farmer x Seb XD

[devout stream]

give it a go!!!

you have my permission to post my commission too 😛

[ripe thicket]

Haha thanks uwu I will post the last one I did, the spirit's eve one

Let's see how many people will say it's Abby

[devout stream]

LOL probably a decent amount, make sure the title says "My Farmer" 😛

[ripe thicket]

I will write it all caps and they won't read it

XDDD

[devout stream]

really gotta hammer it into their heads

LOL

at least with then way Reddit works, they have to read the title before clicking on the reddit post

unless they just blindly click on things that have pictures which i dont think they do

so when they read "My Farmer x Seb" that will subdue their expectations and they won't see Abby instead of your farmer

[ripe thicket]

I hope so

Well I posted it

[hollow summit]

I'll be looking for your post so I can say nice abby

Ok I just upvoted it instead

I was very tempted tho

[devout stream]

upvoted and commented

: )

[ripe thicket]

Thank you

[tropic dawn]

I wanna post some art but it would need to be under spoiler 'cuz possible trigger so... I do it writing the warnings before the drawing or just don't post it?

[devout stream]

you can DM @weak matrix and ask if you want to be sure

[tropic dawn]

Thank you!

I'm a weird mix of detail and toon so I'm just mostly stressing about thesis work

[tiny stump]

Lol

For detail just don't mind it

Don't mind detail

[devout bridge]

[tiny stump]

This ammount of detail was made without detail in mind

I uploaded this some time ago in creative

[devout bridge]

I gotta put in the detail for everything

It's in my blood

[verbal onyx]

i like it

is that a Wizzard

[tiny stump]

Kind of

[verbal onyx]

cool

[tiny stump]

I've used the same style before

@devout bridge isn't it pretty detailed?

[devout bridge]

Not really?

[tiny stump]

How not really?

[devout bridge]

Your details more implied than anything. Which isn't bad, esp for painting, but that's not what I'm doing

[verbal onyx]

I'd say it's detailed, but not intricately detailed

[tiny stump]

I usually try to express chaos in calmed stuff

[devout bridge]

I'm just a very detail oriented person

[tiny stump]

Lol

I don't know what I am oriented to in drawing

I don't even know how I get out those results

[tiny stump]

I like them

[tiny stump]

Like it too

[devout bridge]

I'm prob gonna change that thesis piece though. I finally figured out how to make repeating patterns and I'm gon die

[untold roost]

testing the "extract color palette from image" tool for my site

[candid citrus]

where is it getting the two lighter blues from ?

oh wait, maybe the signature overlay colours

[rain olive]

Yeah think it might need tweaking...

Its pretty handy though!!

[untold roost]

@rain olive @candid citrus the background is textured

[candid citrus]

the lighter blue is not from the background

its from the signature

[rain olive]

I see the lighter blue

The boat's sail color isnt in the palette

[untold roost]

oh yeah sorry i thought you meant the variants on the main bg

yeah the signature overlay yields the lighter blue

it's capped at 10 colors though

[rain olive]

Or like the dark blue of the clouds

[untold roost]

er 12

#2552AB is the quantized version of the clouds

(which is also textured)

[rain olive]

Ok! Then its pretty good!!!

Super handy!

[candid citrus]

yeah (: its neat

[untold roost]

cheers! (with flat color png it grabs the exacts if that wasn't obvious! but for noisy images it has to approximate)

[open drift]

feedback pls :)

[untold roost]

it's lovely! conceptually and execution

A popular color space that supports specifying colors in this way is HSL. It’s well supported in design tools and popular code libraries for color manipulation. There’s just one problem: the way HSL calculates lightness is flawed. What most color spaces don’t take into account is that different hues are inherently perceived as different levels of lightness by the human eye—at the same level of mathematical lightness, yellow appears lighter than blue.

The image below is a set of colors with the same lightness and saturation in a display color space. While the color space claims the saturation and lightness are all the same, our eyes disagree. Notice that some of these colors appear lighter or more saturated than others. For example, the blues appear especially dark and the yellows and greens appear especially light.

wanted to share something kind of cool; sorting colors is impossible. if you do it by hue, you'll get tons of noise. if you do it by lighting, it's just a mess, etc. also our perception of hue/saturation/lightness isn't linear anyway

but! i think i came up with a pretty cool algorithm

(left is random, right is automatically sorted)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/439092163708715009/642235116399362067/unknown.png

[rich delta]

that right one is pretty good! i like it a lot, great work

[untold roost]

thank you!! itll never be perfect because it's literally an impossible problem to solve hehe, but im still super stoked! for those wondering "why not just sort by hue", well then this happens: https://www.alanzucconi.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/sort_hls.png

I'm okay with a slightly higher angle

[vagrant acorn]

[unreal stream]

Getting there. Words dont describe how much I hate drawing that badge on her scarf.

[ripe thicket]

You can just copy and paste it everytime you draw that character 👀

Also I like how it's going, I love the hair!

[unreal stream]

I draw her all the time lmao

And thanks!

[pastel iris]

what's wrong with the badge

[glossy steppe]

Looks like it's really precise to draw

[unreal stream]

Im not amazing with symmetrical objects. I even used a symmetrical ruler to help and I was still messing around with it

Still, its out the way now. Now to add in her bottom hand, tidy up her lines and decide if she's a little too booby

[pastel iris]

for a such object that small I don't think it needs to be accurately symmetrical

[pulsar sky]

This isn't for SDV... I am trying to think of a set of clothes for a rich boy who goes out and has "Heroic activities" Though he lives in an Evil society and is trying to serve his evil empire... does that make sense?

ooh.. make a uniform...

[ripe thicket]

A uniform seems fitting

Something like a jacket with turtleneck and lots of shiny accesories like badges or details

[pulsar sky]

i'm not that great an artist but i will be trying

the image is supposed to be the child version of the character you will play as x3 he's supposed to be frail

[unreal stream]

I think I'm finished for lineart - at last

[formal glacier]

do you know a good size for the portrait sheets for high res?

[pulsar sky]

It's actually coming out little by little

[ripe thicket]

Arcfire that lineart is so clean!

Also MissCoriel that's a really cool outfit

[pulsar sky]

I started to think military-like with a cape due to his elite station (son to a Lord)

takes forever to get through my thick lines but i do that to allow me to shape things better

[lament turtle]

who is that?

[pulsar sky]

it's not for SDV This is a main Character for something i'm doing on my own

which is going to take forever DX

[lament turtle]

tell me about him

[pulsar sky]

Omega Fir Kazuhito is a Child born under Lord-Commander Kazuhito and Elise Kazuhito in what is the Gerham Empire. He's very proud of his father and wants to join the Gerham Military to continue his father's tradition of Honor

since he's currently too young, he and his not-so-frail friend work together to serve the empire together by doing small things for the people

||The empire he serves is actually evil and has demon tribes as allies, the enemy (good guys) use fairies and all races people consider good.||

||You basically start to play as a good man in an evil army who doesn't judge them. All he does is honorably do his duty||

[lament turtle]

interesting!

so he does not know how his empire really is

[pulsar sky]

he does

[lament turtle]

oh okay

i see

[pulsar sky]

his father actually tries to defect taking him with him

but gets killed by bandits while his son is enslaved for several years

[lament turtle]

is the Lord-Commander title driven by birth

like, is he next in line

[pulsar sky]

Lordships are given by the emperor but children of Lords and ladies will be lords when they reach of age

so he becomes a Lord-Lieutenant in the Army when he joins 😛

which gives him rank above regular leiutenants

[lament turtle]

so he himself is not really evil but he serves an evil army

[pulsar sky]

yep

[lament turtle]

when he becomes a lord, will he have to change

[pulsar sky]

The empire actually wants to get rid of him because he's a threat

[lament turtle]

:O

[pulsar sky]

even though he serves loyally

he's a threat to how the Gerhams think of themselves ||as superior men||

he teaches people compassion and even respect to others

but he's too strong to kill so they find a way to get rid of him by choice

[lament turtle]

so are you making a game?

[pulsar sky]

yup

all i mentioned is just the opening bit

[lament turtle]

what will it be called?

[pulsar sky]

Legends of Omega

plural because there are 2 people named omega

[lament turtle]

oh so omega is his first name?

[pulsar sky]

Yep

[lament turtle]

ah i thought it was like a title

[pulsar sky]

nope

[lament turtle]

who is the other omega?

[pulsar sky]

a girl.. and both of them have a past that he doesn't realize until far later

[lament turtle]

how are their past's linked?

[pulsar sky]

It's not their first life

After a while he discovers people on distant planets knowing him when he's never met them. Until he finds out what he really was. Even though he was born from the parents he knows, he was from an advanced humanoid society that created the universe. He was trying to de-throne the current goddess and failed, he sent a friend of his to kill the only heir to the throne and he was successful. But their bodies are not what defines them so they searched for a fetus to inhabit to be reborn and they accidentally chose the same one.

[lament turtle]

that is neat

[pulsar sky]

eventually he actually gets killed but instead of dying the other Omega who is stronger takes over and regenerates the body into her form

[lament turtle]

what kills him?

[pulsar sky]

The "goddess" of the realm has hunter gods to protect the dimensions from rogue gods. One of them finds him and kills him.

[lament turtle]

did he even stand a chance

[pulsar sky]

no.. they are rated by their ability in Masu or Matter Manipulation

He was a Combat specialist but his Masu rank was A

the hunter captain was an S class

the ranks are G, F, D, C, B, A, S, X, and the unique XG

[lament turtle]

matter manipulation, so there is magic in this world?

[pulsar sky]

masu isn't magic

there IS magic but it's not masu

[lament turtle]

okay

how does someone manipulate matter?

[pulsar sky]

You have to understand what you're doing.. the cost of Masu is your very life if you do it wrong

Basic masu is emotional driven but still needs some understanding

but more advanced things like how to fly, breathe in space, regrow limbs.. all that takes practice. even moreso if you are tasked to create life

[lament turtle]

itneresting

[pulsar sky]

You can't make a thing you don't know how it's made.

and misuse will cause your spooky action to fail and you melt into basic amino acids

[lament turtle]

so you said Combat and Masu

what other things have ranks?

[pulsar sky]

that's it really.. Masu trumps all other forms of fighting if you're good enough at it

which the main character learns fast

[lament turtle]

what does the XG mean, why is it unique?

[pulsar sky]

XG gods have a unique knowledge of Masu and are the only ones with the potential to solve the riddle all gods strive to solve: The Life Matrix

[lament turtle]

what is the life matrix and why do they want to solve it?

[pulsar sky]

The reason the gods became as they are is because their leader was able to stabilize the life of their realm.

basically, Life is finite only when a Life Matrix isn't perfectly solved

[lament turtle]

well I have to go but this was cool, ive been trying to get into world building on my own

[pulsar sky]

it's not initially easy

[lament turtle]

yea i have some ideas but forming them into cohesive world is a challenge

[devout bridge]

Lays down. I want to think of ship things but Im lame and have no one to yell about ocs with

[lament turtle]

well yell about ocs with me

[formal glacier]

So. I plan to do seasonal art versions to of the portraits I'm drawing. But I don't know if I should do all of the vanilla in one round. Then do my seasonal versions. Or do each character in full....opinions?

Cause. I'm realizing as I am drawing these my skill is changing from one facial expression to the next 😖

[onyx island]

IMO it would be better to do the base portraits for all first, then making the seasonal ones afterwards

[pastel iris]

shome progresh

@vagrant acorn spoony spoony-doo, where are you?

[onyx island]

Emily was hiding quite a bit under that dress

[vagrant acorn]

I love them

[pastel iris]

@onyx island not sure what you mean by hiding

also it's not a dress, it's a bikini

[onyx island]

Nah, I mean when she has her default dress

Now she's showing off with the bikini 😜

[pastel iris]

ooh I get it

[pulsar sky]

Took a long break but i think it's done for now

[onyx island]

It looks great!

[pulsar sky]

Just need to make a few more of him.. and I need to make an adult version of him

[onyx island]

It's a portrait for a custom npc?

[pulsar sky]

nope

it's for my game development

the default size for the portrait is 144x144

[rain olive]

@shell notch did u draw this?!?!

[shell notch]

yeap

someone requested this anime grill

[rain olive]

A-Amazing...

[shell notch]

[shell notch]

it is, yes, classic japanese stuff

Bummer, I'd recommend having him check where the closest Japanese/Asian market is. You may be able to buy them locally

[verbal onyx]

yeah, that's where i'd go, they actually sell some in a lot of regular groceries here, but he doesn't like going in stores if he doesn't have to

[raw dragon]

anyone have any tips on how to improve my art? I have a hard time with proportions. I may watch a bunch of speedpaints and see if that helps.

EX

[echo mesa]

could always try some figure studies?
I rly like line of action
just gives you some pictures of people and you can do a quick sketch trying to capture their general shape/pose
trying to study other peoples art means you can pick up on their errors - like they might have smething thats not actually correct proportion-wise, but they've made that part of their 'style'

[pulsar sky]

Started to work onthe adult version

From frail child to powerful warrior ❤

[haughty tendon]

@raw dragon really helps if you learn the shapes and general knowledge of lengths of things. I like to use myself as a reference but I know alot of people don't have the same lengths but it helps keep myself in check! Like, study people and how their waist and hip and torso bends, and where their joints stop at and you will eventually get the hang of things

Coriel !! Lovely colors so far I like

[pulsar sky]

his transition from child to adult is obvious x3

[pastel iris]

finally hands

@vagrant acorn uupdattee

nicely done coriel, he looks badass

[pulsar sky]

it looks so much better than how I used to do it in the past

The emblem on his broach... what does it look like to you?

[visual grail]

i wanna say a bird.

it kinda reminds me of the bat signal, actually.

or maybe an upside down battleaxe.

what's it meant to be?

[pulsar sky]

your first guess

so at least it does come out that way x3

[pastel iris]

either bird or key with wings

[lament turtle]

Neat

[pulsar sky]

finishing up x3

[vagrant acorn]

@pastel iris OOOOOO

i think i decided that, as much as i love vicar max, im gonna make my space cowboy kiss the himbo of the team. together theyre gonna fight capitalism and share exactly one braincell and its going 2 b good

[lament turtle]

awww

i wanna see

who are they

[devout bridge]

i havent drawn them yet but theyre called serafín [cause im predictable lmao] and are my idiot outer worlds captain that im gonna be obsessed with for a while 8U

ur never too old for fandom ocs and forcing oc x canon

[blazing timber]

faces

always wanted to cover a canvas with faces so im doing that now\

[lament turtle]

astro

im not that familiar with outer worlds

[blazing timber]

hi solox

feeb make everyone gay

[devout bridge]

i do make everyone gay its my defining trait

outer worlds is p fun! its the new obsidian rpg

[blazing timber]

its like fallout new vegas but not a mess technically

[devout bridge]

yeah instead of a future desert cowboy ur a space cowboy

[lament turtle]

oc x canon is valid in my book

yea i heard it's kinda short

[devout bridge]

im a slut for good oc x canon lmao

and yeah, but the dialogue is really good so i dont mind

[midnight saffron]

[midnight saffron]

What's a good way to market art and get it out to more people?

[devout bridge]

update consistently

you gotta work tags and be a regular online presence to really get regular commission orders

[midnight saffron]

I definitely need to focus on proper tags

Things are changing so much now for artists. It's almost similar to being a game streamer, you need to focus on popular things to really grab people. I mostly do original work and notice it doesn't really get as much attention as fan art does.

[devout bridge]

oh i get that

its the fattest of moods but a good way to grab attention is to do fanart for things you like

do some original work too! but try and get some fanart for things you like in there to get like minded users to follow you

[midnight saffron]

I noticed my SDV art gets attention haha

Wish I was better at drawing humans x.x

[devout bridge]

figure drawing 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 u dont need a class just find some timed poses on yt and practice

work on gestures first then start doing proportions

[untold roost]

@midnight saffron on twitter at least ive found engaging with others leads to others engaging with you (not obviously a blanket rule, just more of a "people are more likely to remember you if you're friendly")

[midnight saffron]

Do collabs help at all?

I've never done one but was considering trying it if I can find someone who would be interested

[untold roost]

would likely depend on who you're collabing with but i think collabing for the sake of getting your name out isn't probably the best thing

[midnight saffron]

Not what I meant lol

[devout bridge]

i like collabs! theyre pretty good, less for audience building [unless you find a well viewed artist to draw with], but are rly good for networking

im with jacob though, i wouldn't try to do one for the sake of getting my name out, but its good to help introduce you to other artists

[midnight saffron]

Being anti-social doesn't help either xD

[untold roost]

finishing a tool to extract a palette from an image (art credit: @meyoco )

[lament turtle]

that looks super helpful

[untold roost]

ty !

[neat iris]

I kinda need some advice

If you guys wouldn't mind

[devout bridge]

Like what? :0

[digital garden]

@untold roost How do you do that? Can I see your projects on github or something?

oh it's a website?

[untold roost]

@digital garden it'll be open source post-launch! and yes

but id be happy to go into theory

ive learned so much about perceptual color

and why HSL is totally bad

[digital garden]

whats hsl

tell me

[untold roost]

oh um, hue / saturation / lightness, there's also hue / saturation / brightness(value) which is similar but slightly different

it's a way of representing colors where you can linearly shift across the spectrum with a hue (color), saturation (vibrance) or brightness

it's mathematically sound

but perceptually it's way off

the reason being that we perceive colors inaccurately -- a yellow at the same brightness as a blue will still appear lighter to us

[neat iris]

So this latest chapter that I'm writing after ages of update, the witch is going to curse Shane and the farmer's wedding

[lament turtle]

cool!

[neat iris]

I'm trying to figure how exactly she would curse the wedding

Would she curse the bride to sleep forever and hope for true love to break it?

[devout bridge]

A true love curse would be silly to do at a wedding

[lament turtle]

she could curse the rings

[devout bridge]

Cause presumably he's right there

[neat iris]

To be fair, she doesn't believe in love

||Her husband is a cheating asshole||

[devout bridge]

Still there'd be nothing to write

Ur true love must break the spell

Shane's like 2 ft away and the curse gets broken immediately

[neat iris]

Very good point

[devout bridge]

She could curse the farm?

If nothing grows they'd have to move

[neat iris]

That's true.

I do like the rings being cursed though. The moment Shane gets the ring, all these terrible things would have happen.

[urban minnow]

@urban minnow very pretty !

[fleet gazelle]

They look amazing arc!

[thorn pulsar]

@neat iris Super late on this, but I also like the idea of the rings being cursed. Maybe he ends up accidentally leaving his at Marnie's or at the saloon, and suddenly crows aren't swarming the crops/there aren't rats trying to get into the silos, etc. Lots of fun things to play with there, and fun ways to figure it out.

[devout bridge]

puts off one half of my thesis to do another half

send help

[neat iris]

Honestly I do love her cursing the rings to the point that crazy bad stuff happens to them

[pulsar sky]

Tonight is our first real cold front! Here is some atmospheric music to add a chill to you bone :3 https://soundcloud.com/evilpickle-music-dept/sets/winter-pack-contents

[clear escarp]

I'm having an art crisis, which one looks better?

[fleet gazelle]

Well what’s it for?

Judging by the slime in your name, I would say layering for slime?

imo atleast

[clear escarp]

general shading style

for like
everything

this isn't for anything in particular, this is for everything

[fleet gazelle]

Well I would say some better for different things

Like dithering for a sky reflection on water maybe?

[clear escarp]

I can make pretty much each style with each other effectively, the thing I'm asking is which one do you think would be great for the overall feel of everything

[fleet gazelle]

Well I’m not the best at art, so maybe wait for someone else?

[clear escarp]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you don't need to be good at art to know which one you like more visually

[fleet gazelle]

[clear escarp]

art's not about rules and stuff
it's about
y'know
visual

[fleet gazelle]

Well they’re better for different things like I said, but probs layering overall?

[clear escarp]

thancc

[storm meadow]

If you apply dithering style to the whole piece, I feel like it would look too busy

[candid citrus]

yah i agree

[storm meadow]

Still I think dithering is very cool
it would depend on how you ummmm spread out the details?

gah I'm very rusty regarding terms. sorry

I personally like your no-blend style. You have really good understanding on the lighting proportion

[candid citrus]

i think it really depends what you’re doing ? like, the style of art that you usually do. ‘no blend’ would look great if you usually go for a really clean illustrator type look, layering would be best if you prefer detailed art. since you seem proficient in all 3 styles i rly do think you should pick and choose depending on the look you’re going for per piece rather than choose one style and always stick to that

[storm meadow]

overall, all three are very cool. The examples are nicely done. Great design

For layering tho, it's rather monochromatic. Dithering and no-blend would give a more interesting look compared to layering

unless you introduce some complementary colors

[clear escarp]

people seem to like layering and no blending a loooot, with only a slight bias to layering

so uh
I might do a combination later when feedback stops coming in

[storm meadow]

I'm not a great artist myself so I apologize if I went overboard

[clear escarp]

nah ur good uwu

[pastel iris]

this person @storm meadow is way greater artist

[storm meadow]

[clear escarp]

thanks.

:v

[storm meadow]

I’m not greater than anyone omg

Wrong word to use, azzy hhhhh

[tired wagon]

Amazing work @visual grail!

[visual grail]

Thank you!!! ;//////;

[untold roost]

@clear escarp i think it really matters on the context of the scene! but they're all quite nice

[clear escarp]

I'm not gonna change shading styles depending on the scene

that's what we call
inconstancy

[untold roost]

what i mean is: i like dithering the most but it might feel too busy depending on everything else

and layering might feel out of place if most colors are flat etc

does that make sense? @clear escarp

[clear escarp]

nope

sounds the same

[lament turtle]

i agree with soy I like your no blend

[candid citrus]

its not inconsistent to adapt your style based on what you draw lol

[clear escarp]

it is when you change something as big as the blending style between shades

[candid citrus]

if you have the whole piece in one style, i meant

thats why a couple of people are saying it depends on the context/some are better than others depending on what you’re doing

[clear escarp]

everything
like
this is literally for everything going forward, that's the context

the context is all contexts

[candid citrus]

hm 🤔

[untold roost]

ive made a 3d piece in a certain style, certain granularity / lighting etc. it looked awesome

but the scene as a whole with that same pass needed to be adjusted

it's not always the case but immediately writing off that notion is a bit dismissive ! esp when asking for feedback in the first place and emphasizing not knowing technical approaches isn't a big deal

and even if you do go with a particular shading you might still need to adjust it if it feels plain or hectic or anything else lol

you said yourself @clear escarp

[clear escarp]

I know I might need to adjust it

the thing I'm dismissing is like

in one panel of a comic it's layered, but in the exact next one it's dithered

[untold roost]

nobody was saying to do that, just that "we can't say this aesthetic will not look too busy" or anything else like that

not saying "mix techniques"

or "don't use this technique"

the context of the scene matters then when you're asking what, aesthetically, looks best

[candid citrus]

yeah. if you use the same technique for everything you might not always get the best result. some styles will always suit certain pieces of art better (which is why i wouldn't say for sure one looks better than the other, because it just depends)

[devout bridge]

dithering looks nice but im with everyone else, if you use it for everything its going to be entirely too busy

you need to change how you shade different things, not everything has the same texture or reflective properties. thats not inconsistency, that's technique

[urban minnow]

i pre-ordered it!

received it a while ago. now i have 2 different abby plush : )

[onyx island]

Ohhh I thought it was a brand new one the one that was announced

[devout stream]

i assume they are referring to the Sanshee one. im unaware of any other

[onyx island]

No idea, I saw one mentioned in the 1.4 blog post but didn't check further

[devout stream]

[onyx island]

Eep they swapped places

[devout stream]

i didnt like my hand being seen in the other pic xD

[tawny lynx]

Ah of course, I should have known.

[devout stream]

if literally anything official Abigail-related comes out you can expect me to get it day 1!!

[digital garden]

can somebody explain

just zooming in

[shell notch]

@untold roost what tool is that? i need it cuz im succ at choosing color

[lament turtle]

@digital garden screens show images in a grid of pixels

when the image is also a grid like that, trying to enlarge one portion while keeping the other parts the same results in wonky stuff

[digital garden]

@lament turtle What "one portion" and "other parts" do you refer to

[lament turtle]

oh, i didnt understand it exactly myself, it is actually because the image grid misaligns with the screen grid

[untold roost]

@shell notch it’s just a little site i’m making for organizing / sharing palettes! it’ll be ready soon and i can let you know when it is if you like

yo i just finished making a base for my farmer sprite (i'm not amazing at pixel art so I just heavily edited penny & alex's portraits)

i'm considering making a bunch of different hairstyles and shirts, so people could essentially make their own farmer lol

could make a picrew outta this

you know what heck it

i'll do it

[onyx island]

That sounds great!

Finally some good f'in picrew!

[fringe coyote]

i would. kill for that. pan. i will support you.

[fringe coyote]

and each item will corrospond with the in-game hairstyle options

[visual grail]

also that base is hella cute.

[fringe coyote]

so u can exactly recreate ur farmer

i'll add different eye and mouth options too

thank blesss

[visual grail]

[fringe coyote]

thank u!!!!

[visual grail]

i love how you're doing the hair highlights.

[fringe coyote]

ahhhhh thank you!!!!!

[fringe coyote]

another one down

[visual grail]

ooh, fanxy lookin'.

[onyx island]

It's looking so good!

[fringe coyote]

thANK

[visual grail]

oooh, you did well with the afro texture there.

[fringe coyote]

ahh really? drawing black hair is hard for me asdfgh

i also have trouble drawing dark skin so i'm nervous to mess that up as well oof

[visual grail]

i feel you on that. i can't get the textures right for some hair types...

for the dark skin, my advice would be to try copying base palettes from the in-game skin colours as a starting point.

[fringe coyote]

aka only demitrius aha

[fringe coyote]

as you can see from the screenshots, its 2am

so imma take a break for now, but i've finished the first 8 haircuts in the game

what do y'all think of my interpretations of them? they're really tiny so it was slightly challenging to draw them detailed

[onyx island]

They are looking great so far

[fringe coyote]

only 24 left

anyways good night!!!

[frank prism]

they all look great!!

[wraith cape]

Haley hair, yeah. Made me cri, first it's hard, second lack of refference. I can't find hairstyle that seems like Haley. what is Haley hairstyle called anyway? i dont know about hairstyle very much.

halp

[pastel iris]

@wraith cape I call it simply wavy hair, I don't know about hairstyle names but this is how I draw it at least

[wraith cape]

Thanks for the answer!

lol the keyword as simple as that, i didnt even consider to just put "wavy hair" and boom i got my refference XD thanks a lot @pastel iris

[pastel iris]

like I said, I don't even know well about hairstyle names

what I have in mind in bachelorettes for example be like :
Haley : long wavy with exposed forehead
Emily : short
Penny : short with pringrolls
Maru : short
Abigail : long wavy
Leah : long single braids

@wraith cape I just figured something out, try search female curtains hairstyle (not sure if this is the correct keyword but it does do well in google image)

[lament turtle]

May I ask what softwares do you guys use to draw replacement portraits?

i only have medibang because broke, but im not sure how of it's utility

[wraith cape]

i'm using Medibang right now, and it's free XD

[pastel iris]

Sai and 'so stable and ever-crashing' krita

PS : I didn't do pixelated portraits though, I do HD portraits

[lament turtle]

i am clown for underestimating medibang smh

ah also, are the portraits meant to be really small

im drawing over one atm but it's so

tiny

[wraith cape]

my portrait is 64x64 pixels

[pastel iris]

aseprite does well perhaps?

[lament turtle]

alright thank you guys

this is so annoyingly exciting since ive never tried this before

[wraith cape]

glad it helps

[acoustic gulch]

Something a bit different, UV mapping of 3D models.

I model for a Roblox game so that's why there's a model there for scale.

[wraith cape]

what is that? a tank? cool!

[pastel iris]

@unreal stream I'd say your version is better than the original, keep it up man 👀

[wraith cape]

[WIP] Haley!

[unkempt tinsel]

she lookin great so far

[wraith cape]

Ahhhhhh thanks

[unkempt tinsel]

np!

[visual grail]

oh wow, her hair looks rly fluffy there. i like it!

[raw dragon]

looks pretty

[wraith cape]

it's done! but i didnt really sure with the face/expression

any suggestion?

[devout stream]

these all look amazing!

ping me when/if you make Abby pls owo

[wraith cape]

Sure!

[devout stream]

[fringe coyote]

Ok I'm gonna continue working on the hairstyles

[fringe coyote]

adding different mouth/eye/eyebrow options!

[fringe coyote]

i feel as if i'm really bad at drawing POC

could I have some feedback?

[wraith cape]

color refference maybe? or take Maru/Demetrius skin color?

[fringe coyote]

does this look good tho? I mean I think it looks alright but I just wanna check since I'm white as heck

[wraith cape]

it does look ok, but for me personally, i think it's too saturated, it's just my opinion.

[fringe coyote]

ah, well it's not going to be the only 2 skintones of course

my goal is to have all the options from SV

so people can make a portrait for their farmer lol

this is the darkest option uwu

[wraith cape]

keep it up

[fringe coyote]

thank bless

[lament turtle]

try adding a bit of greyish blue as highlight

[fringe coyote]

?????

wdym

cause this doesn't work lol

[lament turtle]

i

may i edit it actually

[fringe coyote]

go ahead

i'm trying not to get too fancy and stick to the game's artstyle

while still adding a bit of my own

[lament turtle]

crap i dont know if it makes sense as i dont speak english as native

i hope this kind of make sense, i apologisee if it doesnt

[fringe coyote]

oh i get it. It looks good, but i'm not sure if it matches the artstyle of SV? I think rim-lighting might be a bit too stylized

[lament turtle]

true truee

[fringe coyote]

i'm making a sort of "avatar maker"where people can make a portrait for their farmer

so i'm trying to keep it simple

[lament turtle]

ah im sorry!

basically, greyish blue serves as lighting, so id place it on the cheeks if you wanted it to make it simplee looking

as in, maybe 3 dots of greyish blue on the right(?) cheek

[fringe coyote]

hmm, well, maybe when people are done making their thing, they can edit it to add more lighting if they want?? idk

[fringe coyote]

https://picrew.me/image_maker/166266

obviously still a WIP, but does this selection of skin colours seem adequate?

[frail adder]

That's a lot more than I usually see on Picrew and I think that's a good range of options!

[fringe coyote]

thanks!

that feel when you find a really pretty looking picrew but the only skintone is white

[onyx island]

Or they lack a straw hat and beard options

[fringe coyote]

the struggle

also each of the different mouths has to have a different colour because

well i obviously can't have this lol

much better

[fringe coyote]

ugh making a picrew is a LOT of clicking

almost done 😭

[onyx island]

I just wish it wasn't exclusively in Japanese

[fringe coyote]

i'm a beginner in japanese so its 大丈夫ｗｗｗｗ

https://soundcloud.com/evilpickle-music-dept/zelda-ii-title-remastered

Remastered an old song i did... well.. i didn't have the original file to remaster.. so I made it new

[fringe coyote]

https://picrew.me/image_maker/166266

got all the different skin and lip colours added!!!!

[frank prism]

nice!

[sick jackal]

seems like the lips dont configure to the skin colour so the darker skin colour still have lighter mouths

[fringe coyote]

oh ,you need to click the little paint brush icon and select the lip colour

@sick jackal

[sick jackal]

oh! ok

[fringe coyote]

also is this enough colours

am i missing any

[frank prism]

blue

[fringe coyote]

wait i almost forgot blue asdfg

ok i think i have all the colours

[unreal stream]

You know how some people hide hands behind backs, put them in pockets or hide them out of frame so they don't have to draw them?
Next time I draw a character with twintails, they'll all be wearing shower caps.

[frozen plaza]

Love her look

[devout bridge]

You have some mouth masks going on on the darker skintones

Ghost mouf

[halcyon girder]

Spooky

[real current]

--
Is that Serra from Fire Emblem?

[onyx island]

Yep

[real current]

That's amazing, I love it.

[unreal stream]

She's mah fav

Full thing is in creative as well

[wraith cape]

i'm so confused for Emily hair, it's complicated. Any suggestion?
if i pick this style, her hairstyle is pretty much overhauled, lol.

And the thing is, i didn't found any refference that similar to the vannila one. And again, i didnt like Emily vannila hiarstyle too (it's just my preference)

[unkempt tinsel]

that looks good to me honestly, looks enough like emily

unfortunately i don't have any suggestions to help

[wraith cape]

it's okay. any feedback is pretty much a help for me, thanks!

[raw dragon]

maybe look at hair style references? I like the one you have though
