I feel the same. This game is really amazing. I've drawn a lot of doodles I'm planning on sharing. 
polnareff with hair down is lowkey cursed
doodle ideas?
@cunning mountain Don't know if you saw but I did these as well.
Wonder what I should do next...
you draw amazing creatures
Right!?
Thanks! I'm still very new to digital art.
I think it'd be pretty cool if you took real creatures and did your own spin on them! Kinda like taking everyday objects and making them look like space ships! If that makes sense?
Yeah, I get what you mean. I've seen one artist who does things like that.
For instance, this creature on Deviantart (Not mine of course). The artist took the proboscis of a horsefly and pieces from a few other animals to make this.
The limbs are from a giraffe I think.
Whoa! 
I'm not that imaginative though.
These are some of my favorites! https://www.instagram.com/spacegooose/

That looks like something out of Faster Than Light!
Isn't it cool?? I just find the turning everyday objects in something else concept neat! 
Maybe I'll give it a go someday!
Definitely ping me if you do! 
😄
Me too! :3
Quick doodle.
that's awesome!
Looks good Nova!
Thanks Odin!
Is it for something specific?
@pale crypt I don't know yet.
Hey artists, I know it's hard not to feel bummed out when you see teenagers that are better than you, but it isn't a reflection of your skill or aptitude for learning vs theirs. The only thing they have that you don't is access to better resources. (Thread)

I really like these. I feel like you've answered your own question! I'd suggest doing studies of what you said, looking up references for beaches, jungles, mangroves. Even if you're drawing rather than going directly to pixel art, translating them to a drawing will help you understand how they "work". But I think these are great and the palette is very nice
@tranquil moss i think you have a really good point there. thanks.
that tweet feels weird to me
I get the message of motivating older artists but doesn't pretty much everyone have access to the same resources
Growing up i couldnt get as good of software or a tablet
People a decade older than me didnt have the same access to photo/art references or tutorials as kids
Tablets and great software are really affordable now, and it makes me a bit jealous sometimes 
but they cannot access the same software before other people are also capable of accessing it
if they can buy it then you can, only difference is that they are younger
i guess that is what the tweet is saying anyway
I crashed a class for an hour and just did messy sketches lmao
cute
I mostly petted the animals 
see better without the dots lol
any other river / pond pokemon I should add?
or someone lurking in the tree line?
Sobble?

I wish I could read Japanese because there's a lot of nice fanart on Pixiv.
Wait that image doesn't work.

Fortunately some jokes transcend language.
Yo! Scarecrow based on Npcs would be really neat
what have I dooooooooooooooonnnneee
gah
I've made the mistake of making tiny plants and having to detail those fkin things
So cute 
Aw froakie
sobble looks a little different than what i remember
Froaakieee
@candid citrus the sobbles people are talking about are in the background behind Froakie >u< it took me a while to realise that
@tawny lynx I love Tara. She's a great artist. https://twitter.com/stv_tara/status/1090926186354507776?s=19

oh right LOL thanks venn. i see him now, super cute
lol they need coloring
omg that alex comic
warmup cuz I dont really do face shots
It's really cool 
Progress on these portraits! Varying states of "done"...I've been experimenting with different techniques each one, some of them use more dithering and some have lines more blended in. Good practice 
This was what the process for Emily looked like, I'd like to spend more time on it
Abigail <3

question
what canvas size are the dialogue sprites? 64×64 or is it something more unorthodox
Yeah portraits are 64x64 iirc
Thank you!
@lament turtle is the game already playable on, like itch.io or something?
lol what
Pixel art in roblox?
oh ok interesting
i meant to post these here but i forgot oops https://twitter.com/susiesshitart/status/1233411856288665601 https://twitter.com/susiesshitart/status/1231402692007821313

@vale shoal I used to have a gallery in austin texas back in highschool but ive not had a gallery in a long time
Shame :( where can I see more art? In the gallery here?

@tranquil moss OH MY GOD THEY ARE ALL SO ADORABLe !!!!
AAA thank you !!!
Oh wow pixel arts 
my artstyle is such a far cry from the sdv one but.. I'll find a way
Damn Polnareff is here, now the enemy stand users will come swarming
LOL
Looks great tho, your pixel art is top notch!
Thank you thank you
I wanna learn how to mod so I can get all the crusaders and DIO in

I have a question and I don't know if this is the correct chat (sorry) . Can I use the music of stardew valley in my youtube videos (that are Minecraft videos).
?
I think you'll have more success asking one of the more general channels. You'll basically want to ask what license the game's music falls under.
Which channel would be the right?
Probably #stardew-spoilers
Thank you
hey guys, i wanted to ask for some advice
ive been seeing really cool sdv farmer blogs around on tumblr and i really wanted to join the community, but idk where to start. a little help from someone who has experience?
In what way are you looking to join?
@tawny lynx i wanted to be in the community where theres a bunch of farmers who are friends with each other and getting frequent asks and participating in events, but i dont know how to get there,,
@devout stream so cute! 
I'm trying to reverse-engineer the technique and thought process behind the leaves from the medieval buildings and flower valley textures so that I can customise some objects in my game and honestly I have no idea what the artist is thinking when doing this. How?! It looks really good whatever they're doing and I just can't seem to replicate it well myself XD
I wanna see!

We listed the artist at the top of the sidebar and there's a pinned post about :)
oh ok cool!
i love it, it fits so nice! Are there others? That have different people on it? (since now it's only who I presume to be Abigail)
No, we were only allowed to submit one banner 😄 I had so much fun making it though, that I seriously considered making it an animated version that cycled through different characters haha. But I didn't want it to be too much
that would be neat
I had this discord open while talking to my boyfriend and then I shrieked and went "SOMEONE MENTIONED MY BANNER" lol
You should check out the banner thread, there were 5 that won and they all look awesome!
i will def. do that.
Does photography go here?
It can go in creative unless you wanna discuss it
We use this room for works in progress all the time too
i'm probably not a great person to answer this kiwii but everyone on tumblr is pretty nice in the sdv community so it's worth just following a bunch of sdv related blogs and just start posting your art and asks
typically people will notice, especially if you tag your stuff correctly, and you'll get some followers and people who want to ask stuff
congrats on the banner tilden, it's gorgeous!
When you draw the lineart on the sketch layer and have to start all over again.
god i feel that
It's horrible.
@unkempt tinsel thank you so much ^^
Ouch.

meowch
How I can improve character's hair texture to fit better with SW? I'm quite unsure of what to do at this point.
Added thick eyebrows for good measure
I like it! If you want to mimic what CA does more, the first thing I notice is he uses much more dramatic tonal contrast. For both Maru and Abigail there are 6 tones each and the lighter tones get warmer (pushed towards red) Here I've swatched these and set the darkest & lightest side by side
Also if you're making this portrait for stardew, I'd also suggest putting the portrait background color behind your character, as a white background will make your colors look different. The better the context, the better you can see!
ty
Wow, this is most delightful, as these points are exactly what I needed. Thank you so, so much!
My pleasure! Happy to help when I can
maru has the prettiest palette
A sneak peak 
I feel so sad that music artists are so amazing yet so underrated https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2SqbR2_0rGJBwJ61BUT8Pw
I feel like maybe those should be pinned for people in the future 
If anyone can do chibi art designs and are down to get paid for it I’m looking for a couple of designs for a hoodie and I am looking for someone to commission
Dm me if you can 🙂
character sketch
I'm trying to draw more often to practice my skills, any suggestions on what to draw might help me get my juices flowing.
Well, what is it you are interested in learning to draw
usually cute girls in anime style
You could practice different expressions. I like to grab Disney animated movie screencaps to use as reference. Maybe some Ghibli imagery for you then
And I just draw the expression on the character I want
hmmm most of the time i browse works from asia or qinni
thanks tho 
https://twitter.com/magicalpouch/status/1198908142655901696 i've been using this to help me on my 50 emote journey
if this helps any, just choose one that piques your interest and run with it!
Ohh that looks very useful! And lol, what's up with the G face lol
The best column you mean
g10 is my favorite tbh
i did that one first for all my emotes
Me when I see someone talking about my hobbies
G10 is pretty good, like the face of someone that's about to stab you
this is the emote i made for it, had to keep the eye colored tho because too much white otherwise
Lol that's great
tytyyyy
i'm still working through the list and i'm doing about half of them
and i'm almost halfway through that half i took out
then there's a couple i'm going to be doing outside of the list
but other than that i should be set
Wooah
10J is Krobus.
A more sinister version at least
Here you go, G10 version of Penny hahaha
yessssss g10 rise \o/
It came from the sewers...XD

He's scary
Spooky! I like!
Lewis, out collecting shipments: Why do I hear boss music?
Aa I wanna try pixel art but I just wanna ask tho, where do you guys usually make pixel art on pc? 
There's a website on browser called pixilart. Not sure if it's entirely what you're looking for though
There's Aseprite
Oohh!
!! I will try those out!! Thank you!!
So these things are calles diamond painting
I have been addicted for the past 6 months
I just started this one today and after and hour and a half this is all i had done
Is that... analog pixel art
i guess
wip,, 
looking so cute
looking good so far, love how your farmer looks 
is this too loud?
dairy farmer cute
@pulsar sky It's hard to tell with volume being relative and all, but on a standard volume of 10% it was a little loud for me, but volume shouldn't be much of an issue for music unless you're using it in a certain context like with sound effects or dialogue so idk XD
👀
I want to drawed ur guys cute farmers and waifus / husbandos

does anyone wanna show me their farmers ~?
I will when I go on pc next
@rich delta whoa- that's neat

If you share your farmer, I'll doodle them too. 
y'all I need advice
I plan on getting a surface book 2
Do any artists here have experience with surface products and art? Because I'd really like to know how it works and flows, and if pen pressure is okay enough
finally working on the better fishing mod and i can't decide how i feel about my sea urchin.......... not sure i love it but i can't quite figure out how to do it better

ahh, i didnt like white really much,,
That's such a gorgeous style

cute! maybe a section to change the mouth would be nice
i think this hairstyle is overlapping with his right ear a bit
I like the bottom middle!
sorry, didn't realize you were asking for a choice among those
Yeah the lighter color allows for better contrast between the outline and fill color.
That feeling when you forget you have a new pc and you forgot to change the settings for your tablet, still carried on creating though xD
Tablet was like it decide what the thickness of a line will be’ and this is what it looks like :p
I almost felt like Pam was in photoshop making things look like her trailer xD
y'all... the talent 😩 👌 ✨ ✨
Oh dear lol, i feel that pain WitchDoctor XD sometimes my tablet likes to draw loops instead of lines that i can't control
Work in progress for my Twitter icon. I threw in some Stardew stuff to fill up the white space. 😂

Aeugh I think...think I've finished a drawing but I'm going to not look at it for a day and then come back to it, but it's so hard to just let it be now lol

you always produce good arts
Thanks solo :)
Idk what to draw help
Your favorite bachelor(ette)?
It's hardly original but it usually helps for someone to suggest anything.
Im just drawing people drom the server now

@halcyon bronze thank you for understanding my pain ❤️

WIP. I dunno how to shade these eyes. Scared I might ruin em.
you can shade them on a different layer.
so if you don't like it- you can always remove the layer or hide it.
for shading it depends on how detailed you want to get.
if you are going for simple- you can just do a white dot at an angle to express some light shine.
a bit more detail- you can add a lil bit of black or dark gray in the middle for the pupils
if you wanna go super crazy- you can add additionally glossing effects
or textures for the individual fibers that make up the eye.
Duly noted. Am gonna experiment on lowkey, extra cutesy eyes.
Thanks for the advice :3
there's also the option of a darker and/or more saturated version of the main color for the pupil
I like to make the top half of the iris much darker and have it fade a little into the main colour, or sometimes just a more saturated top half and a lighter less saturated bottom half. doing a pupil might look creepy in some cases, like the character is staring intensely XD
Rase I love the little stickers on him! I adore the fluff too! 
look im still alive
oH THATS AWESOME
her smile and optimism = gone
Her hat too.
oh god
i started a new world with my friend recently and i forgot how freakin tedious it is to water your crops every day o-o
Omg so truuuu like if you’ve ever played a server with sprinklers you just get used to it and then you create a new farm and DIEEEE
Just did 8 sketches of some Junimos. Now to decide which one to color.
Why is the house on fire?
in her despair of having to water the plants by hand, she gave up and just set it aflame
shes moving back to the city to work for joja co it cant be worse than watering by HAND
watering by hand
that jus makes me think shes scooping up water from the pond and carefully carrying water in her hands over 2 the crops
shhhh no, she does the thing you do in the shower were u make the water flow from your fingertips but shes doing it without water
@frozen plaza yes

any suggestions to improve the sprite?
It's pretty! Maybe a shorter eye would be cuter?
I completely love the tones, and yup, I agree with kdau 
is this alright? tried to make it blushing, but idk how it looks...https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/582744321774715059/687809896770437124/20200312_185022.jpg
(also sry the image looks a little smooshed, idk what happend when i copied it over from the software...)
it's cute!
yay thx!
Random drawing I did at school =_=
Oh, that's so cute!
I agree, looks super cute
adorable!
I made a pony form for my character Stella. She's having a nightmare, and Masko is comforting her
Started working on the massive project of full-body portrait art for all the NPCs today, then realized I hate the bear's art. He doesn't look at ALL like any of the others. So I've spent today redoing one of his four portraits instead so I could do his full-body portrait instead. sigh Anyways, here's draft one, any suggestions to make it look more like the other characters would be much appreciated!
Im gonna add abigail EtG
Someone made a mod that allows people to make custom characther
@tropic crown It is quite difficult making an animal look like it belongs with human characters. ConcernedApe's characters tend to have large-ish eyes, and be made up of chunky but well rendered shapes with colourful palettes. Perhaps to make your rework blend in a little better, you could make his eyes bigger and more expressive, add some purpley shading to his body and define fur by chunkier shapes rather than a dither. You don't really see dithered shading in his human characters.

ok making random deer girl, reddish color or goldish-brownish color?
Ohh I like the reddish one more
How good is this so far?
@muted grail did you draw this? https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/fhhbt9/who_the_hell_closes_on_a_weekday/ cause I just wanted to say your art style is very iconic and recognisable and that’s really cool to me!!
yup has my username and everything lol

Updates to the bear I ended up doing this morning. Not sure which one I like better/want to continue to use, but thought others might like to see and/or suggest.
I like the middle one most, although the red panda-ish markings on the second one are nice too :3
What yall use for Pixel art on PC?
is the bears lower jaw split in two intentionally ?
Yes it is. It was my attempt to capture the facial shape of the original portrait while also getting it from a more frontal view.
Of course, now the more I look at it the more I don't like it, so I've just changed it in the current edit.
Oo, I think fixing the split in the jaw works much nicer, and the fur and bigger eyes look better too :D
Agreed. I'm very happy with this. I'm starting the Bouncer now and hopefully his full body with be its first draft by tomorrow afternoon.
My art teacher put these down on my desk and told me to draw them. So heres the progress so far :>
Its not perfect and ill definitely need to fix the face but im really proud of it so far for my first attempt of drawing realistic objects :>
have a feeling this is the first man I've drawn that looks relatively male
thoughts
I love him and your art omg
I think you captured him perfectly
a qt
Damn, looking wonderful!
That's amazing.
wow! he looks totally male lol what u on about X3
Hello, creative folks! This is a fortune-telling date picker dialog for my upcoming "Scrying Orb" mod (h/t to @dry sequoia for the circular idea). What can I do to give the calendar more of a mystical feel? Anything else I should improve?
looks awesome so far val!
i love him flabby! that smile melts my heart
looks nice kdau! unsure how to make it more mystical, maybe more sparkles?
Maybe some runes?
thats AWESOME
Ooh...the Junimo alphabet is like the runes of Stardew

Oooh
Winx club?
Not much of a progress tbh...
Heavily referencing stuff does take a while Konrad. You're obviously paying attention to the detail, and because you've chosen a JoJos pose and character, you have perspective to consider too etc. Not to mention the style of JJBA is very complicated 
You've done a great job, It looks really good so far!!! 
@hollow glen maybe you would get more feedback in #making-mods-general
I did some traditional art but the markers bled right through the paper. 
there are specialized marker pads out there, i usually get mine at Hobby Lobby (if you're USA). if you're using copics, the copic store sells booklets specifically for their markers (though through my own experience with them, they also bleed through, though not as severely. I'd still recommend putting something like a thin piece of cardboard behind it.)
if you're not USA, you may have to special order them online (should have them if Amazon is in your country)
regular paper, like printer paper or sketch pads meant for graphite, will sadly bleed heavily not only in the paper, but also through it
Thanks for the advice. I don't have a Hobby Lobby anywhere near me. 😔 I usually keep my sketches plain and color them digitally but I had some markers and wanted to try it out.
npnp, and hey it's a learning experience. art is primarily learning new things and showing off your progress along the way, so it's good that you at least tried. If you have no feasible way of getting marker paper, maybe try putting the cardboard behind it for the time being when you draw? though the spread can be a little rough,,,
unless you don't wanna use markers anymore, that's also understandable
I posted about Terraria's sprite contest in the creative channel in case anyone interested
40 votes and 1 comment so far on Reddit
I saw that on Twitter its so cute
I like the white socks detail. Very midcentury mobster
Thx. Just by posting it I saw some issues with the outline and shading so I'm going to clean them up. Little details, but I'm a perfectionist.

I could use a hand on this dwarf if anyone has a second. I can't get his cloak to look quite right.
Any thoughts or suggestions to improve him would be much appreciated.
I think it looks quite nice. Maybe it goes out too far around the middle?
Another one
The cloak on the dwarf may need to match the hood part's lining?
@tropic crown You could make the cloak look more like a 3D object if you apply some blended shading to the cel shading you've already got. You've already started to soften the shading with the speckles here and there, but just more of that dithering would help blend the light out a bit. 
au where everyone in the valley is a fashionable gothic vampire wip.
I like the sound and look of this au
i just wanna draw everyone as goths tbh.
these three are pretty basic though... i'm doing a dark mori leah next, that one's gonna be fun.
unfortunately my hand hurts and i haven't done digital art in way too long so i need to take a break again rip.
i'm. really looking forward to vampire goth pam. i have NO IDEA how that's gonna look.
Ooooo glgl on it, do rest tho, hands are important
thank you!! i can't wait to design everyone.......... a whole town of gothic vampires............. my dream.........
i just realised how janked emily's face is oh no
Wow nice anatomy!,
i almost thought that was sarcastic oh my god.
THANK YOU THO. that's very sweet. ;u;
Totally looking forward to see goth Penny 😜
Yesssss
Wait, if everyone is a vampire—
the adventurers guild are vampire hunters.
... and there's a reason the only other farm in town is an animal ranch.
A town of vampires sound really cool!
Ooh, but what if Demitrius isn't?
And he's completely unaware and Maru has to deal with being half vampire, whatever that actually means in this version.
i really wanna get aseprite but i need to save my money lmao
should i make the animal part white-ish? 
Yes, if you are trying to make it like the photo. What other color were you perhaps thinking of?
nah im not makin' it like the photo, thats just-- there lmao
not really sure
maybe more brown
or the colors in the feather under his ear
Yeah, I can see that looking good
i gave like 3 options rip
Oh I thought you meant the brown golden ish color specifically
If the animal part is white, it might blend too much with the body. A dark grey or golden colour would be nice I think :0
Yeah it'll be hard to see the difference between the skin and the fur. Honestly it isn't a big deal tho
They look great.
(The Dwarf's gender is listed as "undefined" in the game files and so generally they/them pronouns are used.)
Ah. Then a they they shall be
he is jus a lil (plant) creachure
oh, that's adorable??? i love his socks......
Been working on two dudes: Grandpa and Gil. A little feedback on the two would be appreciated.
Neat. For Gil, I think the boots should look chunky with a rounded toe box, since miners wear heavy ones with steel toes
(Coincidentally I'm writing dialogue for him right now)
Good idea. I've started playing with some things to see what I can do.
I probably should mention that though you can't see it here, Grandpa has a touch of transparency to him as well, to up the ghosty vibe. it's hard to tell here, so I'm thinking about increasing it, but I don't want to make him too transparent because you need to be able to see him.
Cool. You could have the transparency increase in a gradient towards the bottom to enhance the fading-out effect
I'm trying to figure out to do that. It's not easy in my program
@left remnant do you have an art twitter or art social media or anything? the sebastian you drew was rly cute. ;u; (if asking this isn't allowed, please ignore me.)
not an art twitter, but i have an art tag on my tumblr!
here you go!! https://rumikos.tumblr.com/tagged/my-art
my normal twitter is @psystan if you wanna see random shit but i should probably make an art twitter
oh neat!! thank you. one of my friends would really, REALLY love your sebastian art and i wanted to send them it properly! i'll link them to your tumblr, they'll be super jazzed!
your art really is cute. there's something about the lineart style that looks really aesthetically pleasing and soft, it looks very warm i guess?
ahh, i'm not sure how to describe it. your art reminds me of freshly baked gingerbread, i guess. that's a weird way of putting it but it's all i can think of.
OH MY GOD you're literally making my day you're so sweet i might for real cry ;___; i've always been very insecure about my art and haven't had time to indulge in it all of high school + college and i'm so glad you like my art!!!! you deserve everything
ahh, i completely get that, but i mean it, your art is very soft and cute. it has a very distinct style to it, even in the colours you use. i'd commission you if you were open for it, i think your art style suits stardew fanart perfectly especially. (also your farmer designs are extremely cute.)
but in any case, i just hope you know your art is lovely. thank you for sharing your tag with me!
Yeah, "pleasant" is the word I'd use.
i'll let you guys know once my commissions open up!!! hopefully around this summer
I'm always trying to encourage my incredibly talented artist younger sister to start up an online portfolio and do commissions but she stubbornly won't listen to my strong encouragement and praise. Heck I'd love to show you all what she has made, but there's the problem.
commissions can be stressful and if she doesn't want to display her art then I'd leave it alone
comms can be fun but i also remember that they can suck the fun out of drawing for a while bc you feel guilty doing anything that isn't work and then it turns into art block and you struggle to even get the work done. i think art is easier as a hobby than a career, less pressure.
yeah that's why arts been such a big issue with me lately. i'm not an art major so commissions are stressful for me but everyone who compliments my art and is nice to me makes me wanna draw them stuff if i had the time :(( it's not for everyone but i respect everyone who does it bc it's hard!
I don't want to pressure her, but she lacks confidence that she very much deserves.
hey, if it helps, my brother used to tell me my art sucked but that i should try selling it anyway. it did eventually push me to open commissions, which while i can't do them all the time, he's said he's proud of me for taking the step and making some extra money of it.
*i need to clarify here that my brother telling me my art sucked but could be worth money was high praise from him. he's very supportive he just talks via insults and snark. he's actually very sweet if you know how to translate it.
it's good of you to support your sister and make sure she knows her art is worth something! but also, if she really doesn't wanna share it online, please don't pressure her too much!
I should probably ask her what is specifically holding her back, because she's hardly opposed to the idea. I feel like I have asked her, but I don't remember if there was an answer or at least a viable one.
i hate commissions
source: am doing commissions atm
Another WIP
need help y'all which colors look better, just a rough estimation of what the final thing is gonna look like
I like the second one. More warm and softer colors, imo.
way too little contrast in the first
yes realized that just now lmao gonna try to fix it a lil later
is this good,im trying to make a sprite sheet for abigail in Enter the Gungon,gib feed back (btw this is just a single frame,and its also in terrible quality cuz im trynna create it in another pixel art software)
oh frick i see an oopsie
Aaa cute X3
Spirit's Eve picture of my farmer. 😄
very spooky and good
forgot how to paint midway
your colouring is so soft......i love it
i've been liking a trend i've been seeing on insta where people will show their initial sketches and finished pieces side by side
rly helps u be ok with not have stuff down all at the first step
working on redoing the fish now...... anchovies are kinda wild up close actually. they're actually mostly transparent and it's pretty cool
Cometkins I absolutely love your re-sprites, I use all of yours now! Excited for the fish.
Time to practice shading, I think.
A big mistake people make is they see something you made and assume it's 100% exactly what you wanted to make, while they could picture something better, not realizing you picture something even better than what they're picturing.

relevant to art and stuff
The krobus sprite sheet is "done"! I'd love some suggestions though to edit the individual sprites.
It's pretty hard to make out on this background though
I've never been good at composition, so it's always hit or miss. How can I improve the composition of the right character in a way that is similar to the composition of the left one?
Hrm, you've got a bit of a dynamic angle in the right one. Maybe you could exaggerate the perspective more, eg make the bow and hand larger and the hooves smaller going down at more of a point. At the moment the proportions are wonderful but also a little isometric. It almost looks like the image needs to be rotated which is not what you were aiming for i don't think.
Orrr maybe put a curve of the arm that's drawing the bow too, to make it similar to the very swift movement in the left image

Either way they're very cute and i love em
THAT HELPS A LOT thank you!!
so someone said that this isnt too abigail like (and also the lightening isnt Gungeon like,) help
tell me,whats something that is too "not abigail" like
Im not super knowledgeable on Abi, but maybe the bright red lipstick doesn't 100% fit the character. Bar that I think it's accurate :3
I think she has like a pinkish lipstick in game? I'm probably wrong
yeah also she does have a belt or something across her waist so maybe that’s part of it?
True! Yeah she has a belt too 
Wait really
She wears a belt?
Well,idk what i was expecting,the pants wont pants without a belt
Btw is there anything wrong with the lighting?

Got me a new Bass and I had to use it x3333
I'm trying to make Sebastian with ginger roots and I'm not sure what works, color or shape wise :/
the top left kinda works but they all need to blend into the darker colour more
yeah I was playing a lot with the layer types so the top are less color and more shape test. so the edges be blended into the dark hair?
yeah see how that looks
yup that actually makes it a lot less jarring thank you
no worries

this medium seems to work for some
@azure python i think your Gungeon Abby looks fine!! a belt would go a long way. I'm not sure how that game's shading is tho
maybe make the bow a bit bigger?
Oh wow, Miss Coriel! You've been using FL Studio too? Me too! Though, I would either request anyone to do a church organ version of Buttercup Melody or I can try making it, though, my ears are not doing it today...
secret agent man
he do be hidin
I don't get it
i think bc its steve from minecrafts head on a roblox character or something of that ilk?
yo why is there a picture of steve
and a sign saying "shh... he be hidin
its just steve
@devout stream like how,i just dont know where and what colour for the belt
wheres them boots
Any feedback would be appreciated! I know the shirt could use some more shading and the pants & shoes aren't even close to done, I jut needed a break for the evening
@azure python My hands started to cramp so I had to stop 😩
oh k
try changing the hand
ik making hands are just (bullet) hell for artist cuz well they are
The truth
but the hand looks like lego hands
Kk, I can work on those too. I agree now that I'm seeing them from a distance they look weird. Also should the cape hang lower?
Let me go get a sprite sheet up rq
I think the cape is a good practical length for an adventurer
It looks like her belt is a dark brown with a dark grey buckle
the line down the middle for the top and and the gold thing on the belt are off centre
Oh actually Marlon's cape is knee-length in the sprite version. I guess he must do some dramatic swoops when fighting
But just a little bigger
ight
Yeah, that's my concern. The size is very impractical, but should it actually match the sprite?
someone said the lighting is doesnt really match
with the lighting in the characters in EtG
I have no idea about that, I've never played gungeon
Ah, I see
Weird concept: The asymmetry that malijuana mentioned on the shirt is there in the original portrait, and it feels almost like an asymmetric military jacket. If you played that up with larger buttons and boxier shoulders, it might justify a mid-thigh cape length as a military style thing
@hollow glen Ooh I like that
oh nvm i see what he meant about the diffrent lighting
@merry dove i have no idea what the buttercup melody is
WOW IS THAT TEH PIXEL ABIGAL FROM LAST TIME?!?!?
I CANT SEE IT MUCH CAUSE ITS TINY BUT IT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTERRR AND ITS SO CUTE
heres a screenshot version cuz im lazy to use Photoshop
there
is this better?
uuhh lads?
Hello lads?
=0= just woke up lol
Looking adorable! And yes, 'tis better
I'd totally choose abigail in gungeon ngl, she fits
shes been training by playing journey of the praire king
Okay, so my Winx Pucca has dragonfly wings and they’re basic and simple.
But now I need Enchantix wings and I am open to suggestion
cute!!!
Thanks! I am a very adept style mimic lol
i like the way you've done the legs far more, the proportions on that example make me uncomfortable, like they'll snap at the slightest thing
so you'll choose a wing style from those or are you basing it on like real life butterflies?
Yeah, the thinness is kind of an ugh but it’s also stylized and could be worse
I can do combos

lol that abby reference ur using is for my mod xD
Bruh
aa <3
🍑

@pulsar sky Oh, it's a song in Stardew Valley. I think Buttercup Melody song plays while getting married or something
Is just happy to get any letters at all
me when i get the ugliest jock and uchis as my starters
honestly at that point i restart my game XD I can't deal
Years ago my siblings and I shared Animal Crossing Wild World on our DS. We took a particular liking to Poncho and were quite upset when he left.
Apperently the first thing i thought when i saw sebastian shooting a fimger gun at a girl saying "bang" was "POW! haha you are dead,not big suprise"
Damn thats epic
Farmer rice has really cute hair
Not as cute as u >:^)
😳
I'm gonna do one of those. 
thats alot of cowlick
because kids are terrors

Tell their parents? I hit many childrens with a bat and they all fell asleep
Put them straight to bed
@untold sorrel why is your character holding a knife 3:
That's a pretty big question. Can you be more specific?
Is there a certain style you want to mimic or are you trying to develop your own style? I study images and screencaps a lot. With cartoons you need to learn to see and then simplify
uwu pixel art
I'm trying to think of advice. It's a lot looking and observing screenshots of the show and then practicing
ye pixel art takes a long time
.-.
also that looks like such a good base for a drawing
i wish i did a drawing as good as your base .-.
Pls
How 2 Pixel walk animation
it depends on the size of the character, the proportions, the style and the number of frames per sec lol
@azure python https://www.spriters-resource.com/
The #1 source for video game sprites on the internet!
a lot of good stuff
like zeus and athena?
animal crossing meets zelda / rune factory
where you're a cute animal that goes on adventures
or just chills sdv style
honestly
id make that game if i could code
i have a lot of time on my hands this summer ¬U¬ jkjk
also love that, other XD
was looking at this and just thought of a little town similar to ac and thought "now just give it a little hankerchief and a backpack and a little sword and go on adventures"
omgggggg
it'd be like stardew but more in depth and with cute lil animal people
also that is insanely cute look at that
gonna try knitting one of these
if I can find out what I did with my yarn and stuff
Cute

I don't have the tiny knitting needles they need but I do have bamboo scewers lol
lol, i guess tht works too xD
what color should I pick?
Hmm... maybe... a cute blue one?
omg, like... chickens are actually my favorite animals 
charlie and a void chicken?
lol sure 
Ok, so I tried. On FL Studio. It came out decent, but I would defs appreciate any feedback of what I could defs work on. I know it's not the perfectest perfect, but... I just felt like using this on any wedding
though, I only have the FL Studio trial version : ( but oh well
ohh, thank you
vewwy much
I shoved them in a pencil sharpener to make them double pointed
very pretty
yoba music rite dere

Ight srry mate,i just realise that i csnt animate,but since the sprites are pretty much simple,i can do it
@stray turtle thx btw
ooohhh thjat hand looks spicy 
im looking at my own hand and asking myself "is this good? is this bad?
absolutely excited to share this soon
I like white :)
White
👀
i mean i kinda was going for black after i saw how it looked, bc my characters are more like.. real-life like lmao
atleastmostofthem
white makes him look older, doesnt it?
Ye go for black

Welp...i guess i have nothing to do for the next few months. Is there anyone here who takes commissions who can help me? I want to take commissions but i can't tell if I'm good enough, or if I'm going to charge wrongly, or whatever 
Oh! You drew the shrimp-chan right?
I would say you are definitely good enough to take commissions
I did yee
:0 thank youuuu!
there's something v freeing about drawing weird stuff (amabie)
screw drawing people, invisible men is where its at
yes
...i don't see anything
For reference, 400 Robux are $5.00. Know the worth of your work people.
Unfortunately the Roblox community is full of people that don't know.
Makes sense. Lots of younger people just starting out. I once almost took up a modeling job only to do the calculations and realize that I was being offered the equivalent of about 45 cents per model.
Bruh
Put a chicken on his head to hide his hair
v excellent solution i endorse

@tawny lynx I AM SOBBING
angstier version of this scenario (spoilertagged for angst, not spoilers): ||farmer collapses from exhaustion at 2am, health meter in the red from being in the mines so shane freaks out & carries them inside||
if only that's what actually happened when you collapse in front of your house while married
Instead your spouse an pet sleep happily inside while you get dragged to the clinic by some unknown person.
Happy to induce emotions.
I do wonder if Harvey has unique dialogue if he has to operate on you while married to you.
I don't think he does. It would be neat if he did, though.
i need to be more active here theres so much good artists in here now 😔
did i fuck up the horns AFGAS
GAMZEE
GAMZEE
so i made some sprites,and put it into a sprite folder in EtG custom character mod,and i made it work and boom,Abigail holding a watering can in the Gungeon
and a gun
so far i only completed the idle animation
the runing animation is almost done
@lament turtle Love the drawing! It's so cute! Still really adore your style and love how you draw Shane! :) Good job! (sorry for tagging but I just wanted you to know your art is really appreciated!)
@lament turtle the eyebrows look great, for me i think that to make her look more relaxed mabye the outer part of the eybrows should point down?
im rlly afraid of giving advice because like im gonna ruin that masterpiece lmao
so the first or second one lol
okie dokie
but thaat's gonna give her a sad look and im more looking for a im in love and i just wanna soak in this moment kinda vibe
thank you!! i watched a tutorial which really helped me out
tutorials are more useful than people make them seem to be
I deepened the white on the seafom, doesnt it look better?
waaa its looks great!
how do you go about drawing bigger pieces because im always stuck with doing small traditional doodles
especially with no undo button lol
actually same
i used to be a small tiny artist
but recently ive been going bigger
eg:
@tawny kelp i need another tiiiip
https://soundcloud.com/evilpickle-music-dept/drakkhen-lively-inn For those of us who are sitting in our houses with nothing better to do.. here's a little happy tune
Don't go to that INN!!! Just Kidding!!
Does anyone have any suggestions for Marlon? I've been taking the "military uniform" approach but I'm still not 100% sure he's Stardew Valley- ish enough.
@tropic crown i would suggest making the "scarf" look a bit less stiff
and maybe either reduce the size of the pants near the shoes as if it were tucked in to the boots or make the boots less chunky and "square"? like, define the heel or smth
👍🏻
@dim hedge Explain the hamsaw pitchfork please
Why have you created this beautiful monstrosity
OJ for Cat a few days ago
@spare gull !!! TYSM you are so sweet !! lov my chicken man
I love him so much too!!
aaaHh
Absolute favourite
