😓

[balmy venture]

this is them zoomed out

its much easier to see the effect AA has from this distance

up close it kind of looks like a mess

even though all 3 are purely pixels, the third one is much softer and tricks you into thinking its actually rounded

[young harbor]

I see now

[tranquil comet]

heres an example of me unnecessarily using AA but it generally makes it cleaner

[balmy venture]

god i love those so much btw

[young harbor]

The faces?

[balmy venture]

thats a mod ur gonna release right? cuz i need it in my life

[fresh anvil]

the first looks nicer

[young harbor]

Oh the art they did

[tranquil comet]

me?

[balmy venture]

yes

[young harbor]

It's for mc

[tranquil comet]

texture pack for mc

[steady plover]

It's for minecraft

[balmy venture]

excellent

[stuck robin]

i love the diamond

[tranquil comet]

i do want to get into doing stardew resprites though...

[young harbor]

Well, uhm, despite my nervousness, I assure you, I'm really really grateful for the lesson

Thank you very very much

[tranquil comet]

[balmy venture]

oh no problem! i love blabbering on about pixel art

and u better cycles

i can attest it is a pain in the ass but also very fun

now seasonal shit. That is a divine misery

[tranquil comet]

the challenge is what gets me on it lol

[young harbor]

So, now, back to this. It's a table leg, which two colors work better?

[tranquil comet]

top

[balmy venture]

i mean assuming its a wooden table definitely the brown

[young harbor]

Ye wooden

[steady plover]

For a table leg? Top

[young harbor]

Alr alr

I won't spoil the entire scene but I'm envisioning it in my head and it's fantastic 😄

[steady plover]

I remember these old sprites!

[balmy venture]

actually cycles can i grab an opinion from u real quick

i know this sunhat is off and does not vibe right but i cant really place whats wrong with it

undershading maybe??

[tranquil comet]

the pixel art community is really small in comparison to other art communities but the standards vary. in the minecraft community standards are low af, the complete opposite in terraria

[bleak bloom]

oooo shes so pretty

[steady plover]

I think the sunhat looks fine

[young harbor]

I think it looks great, actually

[tranquil comet]

add some subtle highlight with shadows under it in some places, like a fold

[young harbor]

Ope

[bleak bloom]

the hat looks great imo

[young harbor]

I should not give uneducated opinions

[tranquil comet]

or maybe not the shadows

[bleak bloom]

oop-

[grand cave]

Holy shit she’s hot

[balmy venture]

the top bit is supposed to be pretty solid so it wouldnt have any wrinkles

thats whats getting me about it its like a weird little... dome....

[tranquil comet]

so a subtle highlight then

[fresh anvil]

the right of the sunhat's longer than the left

otherwise it looks fine

[tranquil comet]

this is true

completely overlooked that

[pastel iris]

by the way

[fresh anvil]

i do the same when i draw sunhats

[pastel iris]

penny is wearing a shirt right?

[young harbor]

Oh! Oh!!
So, question.
I need to draw like, an uhm, what's it called.
Like a tilted rectangle in pixel art

I can achieve that with AA?

Bc otherwise it looks like pieces of candy xd

[pastel iris]

most of other portrait mod apparently depicts her as wearing shirt

[bleak bloom]

i'm going to start on another portrait mod for either emily, leah or penny. debating which.

[balmy venture]

if youre asking because of a discrepancy between portrait and sprite, there are a lot of those

but yeah i always assumed shes wearing like a yellow dress shirt

AR why not all 3? lol

[tranquil comet]

Oh! Oh!!
So, question.
I need to draw like, an uhm, what's it called.
Like a tilted rectangle in pixel art
@young harbor isometric?

[bleak bloom]

alright, lmao

[tranquil comet]

could you give an example? im a bit confused

[balmy venture]

what are the vibes on the sunhat

[pastel iris]

if you're aiming for more downloads, go for leah 1st, since she's popular compared to other two

[balmy venture]

yeah holy shit people love leah

[bleak bloom]

oooh. okay, thank you. i didnt know that

[tranquil comet]

mmm make it a bit more centered

[balmy venture]

i gave her a little bun and im afraid people will be mad that i changed up the Iconic Braid lol

[tranquil comet]

its hugging rn

leah

is

best

nothing more

[fresh anvil]

it looks good to me

[bleak bloom]

and i'll try your tip about anti aliasing, thats brilliant.

[balmy venture]

mfw if i move it over it shows her hair under it

she can have a hugging hat i refuse to give her a new hair layer. leah has not earned a hair layer

[young harbor]

So is it possible to make this more...rectangly than...wrapped piece of candy?

[balmy venture]

yeah AA can help with shaping stuff

it takes a bit to get the hang of, id recommend practicing it on simple shapes

[young harbor]

Aaa damn it

Okay
This scene may have to wait first then

Damn it 😓

[pastel iris]

I still fail to understand all this AA thing lol

[bleak bloom]

from what i understand its supposed to make the shading smoother without having to do it manually? not really sure

[balmy venture]

oh you do it manually

heres a decent article on it https://medium.com/pixel-grimoire/how-to-start-making-pixel-art-4-ff4bfcd2d085

[stuck robin]

when doing pixel art i start with the smallest detail or item and how much detail you want to put into it, and work on the scale of everything else from there if that makes sense @/FaMoCadoasfafsfafjblagb Jack

[pastel iris]

how I draw pixel art be like

[tranquil comet]

pedro medeiros is very pog

[pastel iris]

let my instinct gets over me

[tranquil comet]

dudes a legend

[stuck robin]

iridium legend B)

[balmy venture]

well

time to figure out how to pixel a cableknit sweater without going into cardiac arrest

[young harbor]

art is hard 😓

[pastel iris]

nah

[young harbor]

as a kid it's just
haha me draw lines and make things

[pastel iris]

art is profit

[young harbor]

I don't draw for profit

Not experienced enough to

[lament turtle]

As a kid, me drawing my teacher getting stabbed

[young harbor]

AL WHAT

[tranquil comet]

i draw for fun but money is nice

[lament turtle]

impaled

[young harbor]

i

[lament turtle]

shot

blown up

you name it

[young harbor]

I just figured out how to use the Marque tool

[tranquil comet]

how to know you've done well on a sprite: a mild urge to eat it

[gloomy turtle]

the select one?

[lament turtle]

le marque tool?

[young harbor]

Fun lil thing for if you draw smth in the wrong place

yes

the select one

[lament turtle]

What does it do

Select?

ok

[gloomy turtle]

its the select tools

[young harbor]

It allows you to select something and drag it

[lament turtle]

wew

[balmy venture]

what program do you use jack?

[young harbor]

really neat

[tranquil comet]

i want to eat that honeycomb i made ngl

[young harbor]

Aseprite

[balmy venture]

ooh that fancy shit

[lament turtle]

imagine aseprite

[gloomy turtle]

]

oh same

[balmy venture]

ez to acquire legally if ur desperate for it al

[lament turtle]

ik

too lazy

[gloomy turtle]

shhh

[tranquil comet]

well i mean “pirate@

[balmy venture]

i cant stand the select tool on it though its so chunky i cant see what im selecting

[tranquil comet]

it is legal

just compile it

thats what i did

[gloomy turtle]

yeah its legal that way

[tranquil comet]

actual pirating is well

kinda lazy ngl

its not too hard to compile

[stuck robin]

i need to get around to compiling it

[young harbor]

I just bought it bc everyone had good things to say about it and I had th emoney

[gloomy turtle]

aesprite wip

[young harbor]

[tranquil comet]

pog

neck kinda long tho ngl

[stuck robin]

wow i love the hair

[gloomy turtle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

thanks

[balmy venture]

whats leahs best colour

[gloomy turtle]

I feel like I've been drawing long necks for so long its part of my asrtstyle

[balmy venture]

im tempted to say its the green of her default shirt thing but god i hate that green

[gloomy turtle]

green

[young harbor]

Just natural shades of green imo

She's very foresty and naturey

[stuck robin]

all the cool colors

[young harbor]

So anything within that

[tranquil comet]

its probably green, i cant imagine her in any other color

[balmy venture]

i made her eyes teal so shes generally just sort of shifted teal

[young harbor]

Leah was Robin Hood for Spirit's Eve 😄

[balmy venture]

think i might hue slide her when i release seasonal

[young harbor]

Was really fun to see

[balmy venture]

cuz shes lost the leah charm

because i hate the leah charm

[fresh anvil]

damn

[balmy venture]

but the people require it

[young harbor]

I prefer men

[fresh anvil]

o

i think she looks best in green

[young harbor]

But if I were to go after women with a male character
Leah is my first choice
Abigail next

[gloomy turtle]

men for what

[fresh anvil]

or warm colors

[balmy venture]

romantically presumably

[young harbor]

men...as a preference

yes

lmao

[pastel iris]

red actually fits leah quite well I think

[young harbor]

arcane pls tell me you already knew this

[fresh anvil]

yeah

[balmy venture]

she looks hella good in cream and like orangey red

[fresh anvil]

yellow, red?

[gloomy turtle]

yes I did

[young harbor]

good.

[fresh anvil]

cream yeah

[balmy venture]

perhaps thatll be the sweater then...

[fresh anvil]

those are some of my fave color combos 😭

[balmy venture]

could do a cream and a red

[gloomy turtle]

I just thought you mean for something else

[balmy venture]

or a red and then with the collar... alright

the plan is in motion

[pastel iris]

abigail's matching colour is even easier to guess kek

[young harbor]

purple lmao

[balmy venture]

abby and seb are easy as fuck

purple and duller purple

[young harbor]

Shane is easy too

Lighter blues

[balmy venture]

seb also surprisingly looks really good in yellow

[pastel iris]

all that goth vibe is easy to tell

[young harbor]

Does he?

[fresh anvil]

and green

[young harbor]

Show Jessie pls

[pastel iris]

I legit can't imagine that jess lol

[young harbor]

pls I need to see this

me either that's why I need to see

[balmy venture]

rainy boy

[fresh anvil]

aw

[young harbor]

Is...that yellow?

[pastel iris]

well that's cute

[balmy venture]

gold i guess

[pastel iris]

that's more like orange?

[balmy venture]

i am a sucker for gold

[young harbor]

I can't tell

I'm mildly colorblind and I get shades and colors mixed up easy

[pastel iris]

but meh, orange isn't that bad for seb I guess

because of robin

[fresh anvil]

its yellow but there's a pinkish/reddish hue over it so it looks a bit orange

i think he looks good as long as he's not overwhelmingly in bright colors

[pastel iris]

indeed

desaturated stuff always works for sebby

[balmy venture]

full edge mode is much more in character

[fresh anvil]

this guy listens to mother mother at 3am

and cries

say no more

[balmy venture]

no he listens to mother mother when he thinks people can see him. at 3am its three days grace naruto amvs

[fresh anvil]

FR

mcr too

[balmy venture]

oh of course

[pastel iris]

also guys I was wondering

[balmy venture]

probably halsey but if you ask he says shes a poser

[fresh anvil]

tbh

[pastel iris]

if you brought pen with you, where did you put it if you don't have bag or purse with you?

[young harbor]

halsey is lit

[balmy venture]

pocket

[fresh anvil]

pocket?

[pastel iris]

alright, I guess I am the one who puts it on my left ear most of times lol

[balmy venture]

bro how does it stay

my ear wont even hold up my goddamn glasses let alone a delicate little pen

[fresh anvil]

jam it ??!

idk i would just hold it

[young harbor]

pocket 100%

[pastel iris]

even my drawing pen is on my ear rn

[balmy venture]

it turns out cable knit sweater pixel is maybe not possible

[fresh anvil]

are u sure?

[pastel iris]

I got a question jess

[young harbor]

[fresh anvil]

it sounds like a pain in the ass

[pastel iris]

what is even cable knit sweater

[balmy venture]

its like uhhh

[pastel iris]

my fashion sense sucks lol

[balmy venture]

this stuff

leah would totally wear this

[pastel iris]

oh I see

[fresh anvil]

animal crossing

[pastel iris]

yeah that's def not possible for portrait mod

[balmy venture]

god that is so cute

the issue is conforming it to her body though

AC does that for u

[pastel iris]

unless if it's HD

[balmy venture]

nah its pixel

[pastel iris]

then that'd be hell

[balmy venture]

i am not a fan of the high res portraits

[pastel iris]

sadly default my style can't be pixelated

[balmy venture]

i mean itll change a bit but im sure you could get the hang of it

nobodys style perfectly converts to pixel

[pastel iris]

my chibi-ish style however, might have a chance

[fresh anvil]

i'd help u if i had time :( sorry

knit stuff is the worst to draw

pixels worse

[gloomy turtle]

to the person who said the neck was too long what do you think now

[balmy venture]

the neck's much better but u have a bit of a banding issue

especially on the sweater

[lament turtle]

omg my abigail song was pinned in art gallery~ omgomgomg

[balmy venture]

anti aliasing is supposed to soften edges and shape stuff, lining everything with it like that will just make it sort of blurry

[lament turtle]

that makes me so happy

although the mp4 voice memo didn't register when pinned but thats ok, the lyrics did

also who is that arcane??? that looks good

[gloomy turtle]

you mean the hood?

[balmy venture]

nah the bottom part

[gloomy turtle]

or the outline on the whole hoodie

?

[balmy venture]

yeah right there

[gloomy turtle]

@lament turtle its Lunna from LASV

stardew mod

[lament turtle]

ohhh

oh ok i see

[balmy venture]

you've used banding to shade it

actually

if youre trying to make it look like a canon portrait, feel free to keep it

theres a lot of banding in the official art

[gloomy turtle]

I'm not going for canon, but I;m trying to make it look at least sort of similar to another portrait mod

[steady plover]

neck too long

[gloomy turtle]

still?

[stuck robin]

i thought the original neck was fine

[lament turtle]

lowkey like the neck posted recently

the neck is fine arcane :)

[steady plover]

I think it's still to long
It looks nice but something feels off
Only thing that comes to mind is the neck
Is It feels awkward to me but everything looks good

[gloomy turtle]

I only lowered it 2 pixels

k one sec cake

[balmy venture]

its not the length thats the issue anymore, its the width

it tapers in too far

[gloomy turtle]

k here u go cake

[stuck robin]

perfect

[balmy venture]

LOL

[young harbor]

I think I did it right this time. From far away it looks pretty rounded

[balmy venture]

heyy there u go

movin up in the world

[gloomy turtle]

width?

[young harbor]

[steady plover]

Ya know
The other one did look better

[gloomy turtle]

well the neck height is about the same as the mod I'm referencing so I think its fine

but what about the width jessie?

[steady plover]

Maybe Try making it thickdr

Thicker

[balmy venture]

the way the shoulders slowly taper up into a thin neck looks odd

[lament turtle]

leave one pixel of neck and make it 3 pixels wider, both sides

[balmy venture]

either make the incline of the shoulders much less steep or make the neck wider to compensate

[lament turtle]

jkjk lol

[balmy venture]

pardon the shitty edits but either wider like here

or a shallower incline here

[gloomy turtle]

hmm ok

[balmy venture]

Perfect.

[steady plover]

Lol

[pastel iris]

what the duck

am I seeing

[steady plover]

Hot npcs

[gloomy turtle]

like this?

[lament turtle]

omg that long neck is fabulous

[young harbor]

So uhm

[lament turtle]

i agree

[steady plover]

Looks better
May I suggest trying 1 more Thicker? No need to just thinking it might look better

[young harbor]

How do I like flip something in Aseprite?

[pastel iris]

tbf it's so hard to tell from portraits

I can't even tell if the neck is enough or not

[young harbor]

N e c c

You could say

[young harbor]

Arcane is a Neckromancer

[pastel iris]

maybe if you could draw her face 1st arc?

[gloomy turtle]

@young harbor https://www.aseprite.org/docs/flip/

[young harbor]

tyty

[gloomy turtle]

first arc what

[pastel iris]

I'm asking you to draw her face 1st, arcane

[gloomy turtle]

the whole thingz?

[pastel iris]

who knows if it's easier to tell

[gloomy turtle]

ill try

[young harbor]

she actually has no mouth

it's her secret

[stuck robin]

yall i fixed the neck

[young harbor]

That one with the long neck reminds me of the greater dog from undertale

which would just extend it's neck

[young harbor]

for infinity

dfskj

SOSH

[steady plover]

Yes

[gloomy turtle]

poggers

[young harbor]

[lament turtle]

[stuck robin]

[brazen oak]

i used to draw only anime style and i dont want to anymore but im just so USED TO IT-

[velvet sun]

i wanna change my artstlye again it looks ugly

[gloomy turtle]

Aaaa FUCK I HAVE TO MAKE CHARACTER PORTRAITS FOR MY NPC
haha loser

[stuck robin]

forsy i loved your most recent drawing

[pastel iris]

i'm not great at anime-style art mostly cus i cant get the proportions and eyes right
@lament turtle funny thing is some weeb rejected my style as anime 😆

[vagrant crow]

Same on the art style thing. I worry that changing will make it look even more trash tho 😭

[lament turtle]

weird, it looks like it though? its the eyes for me

[steady plover]

I like it

It's not exactly anime but it's not exactly not anime

[lament turtle]

big eyes and small mouth

[pastel iris]

well how do I say this, they do have point

[stuck robin]

i need to learn how to... draw instead of faking anatomy and making things look pretty 😃

[velvet sun]

i feel like it's more so a stylized art style?

[pastel iris]

my style is heavily inspired from tetsuya nomura

[gloomy turtle]

ok ut srsly heres the face axz

[pastel iris]

which is, final fantasy series isn't considered anime

[lament turtle]

ig this is the closest thing i can do to anime???

[steady plover]

RAIMY YESS

OMG ... ANOTHER

[pastel iris]

at least by those weeb's standards

[lament turtle]

ANOTHER IS SO GOOD

[steady plover]

I LOVE ANIME!

[young harbor]

So uhm
I guess you guys can have a sneak peek?

[lament turtle]

final fantasy is so good

[steady plover]

Another was amazing

[gloomy turtle]

nice

[lament turtle]

ooou that's so nice jack!!

[young harbor]

Of what's to come, I mean

[pastel iris]

purrfect arcane

[lament turtle]

another is honestly top tier

[steady plover]

It wasent like top 10 but irs up there

[vagrant crow]

I looooved Another! I’ve been chasing that anime horror high for years 😔

[lament turtle]

yessss

[steady plover]

School live was good

[pastel iris]

I'm assuming she's wearing a super thick hoodie sweater?

[velvet sun]

OH

SCHOOL LIVE

[gloomy turtle]

for this one yeah

[bleak bloom]

wip long hair

[pastel iris]

or she's just basically have thicc body

[lament turtle]

woah so good!!

[steady plover]

Oop

[stuck robin]

omg that looks awesome

[gloomy turtle]

a bit of both tbh 😳

[pastel iris]

lmao

good job AR

[gloomy turtle]

thanks

[bleak bloom]

tyty

[vagrant crow]

She looks like Princess Leia! Which is funny bc Leah

[gloomy turtle]

oh lmao

[bleak bloom]

my favorite thing is just giving all of them long hair lmao

[gloomy turtle]

yeah that looks awesome AR

[bleak bloom]

yay :D

[stuck robin]

give elliot more extensions

[steady plover]

Here's one of my few anime sketches

[bleak bloom]

ooooh

[gloomy turtle]

Elliot but repunzel

[lament turtle]

my brush pens and watercolor pad: have u forgotten me

[pastel iris]

I'm not sure what everyone thinks here, but I still found the neck is still long

[vagrant crow]

Elliotts hair just down to his feet like a beach prince

[velvet sun]

this chat scares me seruousyl

[gloomy turtle]

oof that handwriting

[bleak bloom]

that would be cool actually- i've never done a male portrait

[stuck robin]

everyone is so talented ;_;

[pastel iris]

I get it AR, some people prefer 1 sex for reason lol

[lament turtle]

males are so hard to do just never

[young harbor]

What kind of cake should I add...It'll be in tiers like a wedding cake, but, uh, I don't know which kind. I'm thinking chocolate since the birch wood for the table and the white s and eggshells of the tablecloth

[steady plover]

@young harbor oreo Ice CREAM cake

[lament turtle]

chocolate is good

or red velvet?

[stuck robin]

yummy

[bleak bloom]

i just like drawing really long hair tbh. I can do males, i just dont.
and i dont really know what i'd change about the male portraits.
but i really dislike the hair that most of the girls have

[pastel iris]

fair, I guess that long hair penny mod you made tells it

[bleak bloom]

i made my first portrait mod because i hate penny's default hair. lmao

[pastel iris]

mate, you're not the only one

[lament turtle]

may i see?

the penny one i mean

[bleak bloom]

sure, just a second

[lament turtle]

ok!

[pastel iris]

even if einstein is still alive, he wouldn't even tell how that hair works

[bleak bloom]

i have multiple long haired penny ones actually

this was from 2 years ago

and i have this one

@lament turtle

and also 2 long hair emily mods

[balmy venture]

love the colours on that one

[bleak bloom]

tyty

[pastel iris]

and now she had a front view portrait in 1.4 no idea the point is

[balmy venture]

pennys hair is a complete mystery

i just cheated and straightened it out lol

[bleak bloom]

thats so cuuuute

[pastel iris]

if you plan to update your mod, I suggest you copy her default expression to replace that front-view one

there's literally no point at all to remake the front view version of it

[bleak bloom]

her default portrait is different in the newer version?

[balmy venture]

the front view one is used in-game

[bleak bloom]

oh i see. i didn't know that.

[balmy venture]

so if youre going to replace it with the side-facing one youll need to edit the expression to match the crying face

[pastel iris]

that one is so pointless

[bleak bloom]

Oh wow

[balmy venture]

lol yeah that one isnt used

[bleak bloom]

When is that even used? i've never seen it

[balmy venture]

its just the crying swimsuit one you need

[bleak bloom]

Oh

[pastel iris]

it is used

[balmy venture]

shit is it?

man now i really need to update her

[pastel iris]

it's during her 14 heart event

[bleak bloom]

damn. its missing that portrait entirely rn. i'll fix that later. the version i have posted currently is still an XNB so i needed to update it anyway

[pastel iris]

anyways I really suggest you just copy her default sideview to replace that

it's a hell waste of time lol

it's basically front view of her default expression, nothing special

[bleak bloom]

damn i'll need to update both my mods. yeah i'll probably do what you're suggesting.

that front view doesnt even really make sense with perspective

you shouldn't logically be able to see the swirl of her bun in a front and sideview lmao

[pastel iris]

I've also been wondering

why people hate harvey's mustache

lmao

even CA is literally meme ing his mustache during his 14 heart event

[gloomy turtle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[young harbor]

Hmm

[pastel iris]

that makes me wondering which should I do 1st, mustache harv or mustacheless one

[young harbor]

Chocolate cake it is

[bleak bloom]

i assume it's just younger players who are used to games like harvest moon or story of seasons with bachelors and bachelorettes that look like 14 year olds

being offended by an actual man as a bachelor. lmao.

mustache imo but the one without may be more popular.

[gloomy summit]

Lmao people hate Harvey's mustache? 😭 I've always thought he looks weird without it

[pastel iris]

the thing I take an issue in his portrait is not his mustache tbh, is his face shape

[young harbor]

Ok the one complainty I have about aseprite is that the color palette is loaded weird
like
why aren't the similar colors close together 😭

[bleak bloom]

you cant reorder the palette?

[pastel iris]

hell I mean he looks sexier before

[bleak bloom]

something about that looks very wrong

[gloomy summit]

Yess but... mustache 😔

[pastel iris]

just add mustache on that, voila

[bleak bloom]

^

[young harbor]

It looks

Like

He's younger than he's supposed tobe

[balmy venture]

he got that Thin Head

[pastel iris]

his recent face shape is rather round

[bleak bloom]

update

[young harbor]

He's one of the three older bachelors

[steady plover]

" You get a moustache , you all get moustaches!"

[gloomy turtle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gloomy summit]

Ooh yeah, when I made Harvey's portrait I made his face very round lol

[pastel iris]

I get it jack, I mean it doesn't really necessary to change his face shape

[young harbor]

Leah moustache 😳

[balmy venture]

lol same choog

[young harbor]

Hm? Oh

I meant like

[balmy venture]

he just seems like he'd have a baby face

[young harbor]

His moustache

Not his face shape

[pastel iris]

also blocky face is even associated to older person instead of round like that

[bleak bloom]

i think his chin seems off in that portrait.

[young harbor]

Harvey looks ~18

Maybe 19

In that portrait

[bleak bloom]

^ yeah

[young harbor]

Which

Is

Not the intention behind him

I don't wanna say wrong because there's a make pam hot mod

[pastel iris]

this is too round for him, and looks like as if he's using fake mustache

[young harbor]

And a make pam everything mod

[gloomy summit]

I feel like if I take his mustache out, I take part of his personality lmao

[bleak bloom]

did they change the default portraits or something in a recent update?

[gloomy turtle]

not the artstyke

[bleak bloom]

not the style but just the portraits in general

[pastel iris]

you mean this jack?

[raw dragon]

[bleak bloom]

o my

[balmy venture]

oh my god did they get rid of it

[gloomy turtle]

I think about how I have to shade the hiar and then redraw the portrait for one expression and I cry

[balmy venture]

like last year i used to hang out here a lot and there was this dude that LOVED morris and used it

but i cant find it on nexus

[bleak bloom]

[pastel iris]

oh you're referring to kred?

[gloomy turtle]

@grand cave

[balmy venture]

[bleak bloom]

not sure i entirely understand

[balmy venture]

that guy was great

[young harbor]

ohno why did you do that to gd

[gloomy summit]

Aww man

[pastel iris]

ofc you don't, mixing pam with everything is beyond your knowledge

[young harbor]

confession time: I've never actually owned a horse in sdv

[raw dragon]

I remember Kred, wonder what happened to them

[bleak bloom]

lmao

[pastel iris]

well he's still here

[balmy venture]

hes prolly just not into stardew anymore

i did the same thing and only came back cuz i wanted to finish a mod lol

[pastel iris]

aye, he doesn't seem that active anymore

[bleak bloom]

i haven't actually played the game in years. i just make a portrait every once in a while.

[gloomy summit]

I got into Stardew just a few months ago, I haven't heard of him 😔

[gloomy turtle]

I wish some of the modders on nexus were active here

[pastel iris]

y'all havent see the krobus pam

[gloomy turtle]

so I could talk to them

[balmy venture]

right

but then its also terrifying

[bleak bloom]

krobus pam

[balmy venture]

asking perms to use SVO/SVE portraits was the scariest moment of my life

[gloomy turtle]

ikr

and paradigm was like "yeah sure lol"

[pastel iris]

uh flashshifter is pretty much active jess

you can just ask them right ahead

they also in this server

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/137344473976799233/748014047353634906/unknown.png

[gloomy summit]

BAHAHAHA WHAT

[gloomy turtle]

The day I get to talk to CA is the day my life is complete

[balmy venture]

yeah i asked both flash and paradigm, got perms for both but holy shit

the raw fear. the raw power of super cool modders

[gloomy turtle]

I wish I was a cool modder

[balmy venture]

someday arcane. someday

[pastel iris]

that's the real hot pam choog

hot and swole pam

[balmy venture]

sidenote i did not realize how many npcs SVE adds

i was like oh yeah just gotta edit like 3 portraits

[bleak bloom]

wait so

[gloomy turtle]

hehe

[bleak bloom]

what is sve

[balmy venture]

stardew valley expanded

[gloomy turtle]

!sve

[heady oriole]

Stardew Valley Expanded (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3753) is a mod which adds a lot of new content and areas to the game. It has many dependencies, so be sure to follow the install guide which is on the github wiki along with FAQs and troubleshooting steps for common issues: https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki

[bleak bloom]

ooooh

[balmy venture]

absolutely gigantic chadly mod

[gloomy summit]

wait, you're making a sve version aswell?? 😭

[balmy venture]

yup! couple people asked for it

itll be out before the seasonal version

[bleak bloom]

wow

[pastel iris]

just be cool and act like when you do comms jess, a.k.a. being professional

[gloomy turtle]

I want to make a seasonal version of adarins girls mod but

[balmy venture]

dont let ur dreams be dreams bro

put some sweaters and tank tops on them ladies

[pastel iris]

oh well, although it kinda surprises me when flashshifter asked some of my dark skull cavern monsters to be added to crimson badlands

[balmy venture]

azrael i am never professional

[gloomy summit]

BSF I CAN'T WAIT! I wanna see my boy Martin in your style

itll be out before the seasonal version
@balmy venture

[gloomy turtle]

and then I need to do seasonal portraits for my NPC

[bleak bloom]

is making a seasonal mod very difficult- or is there some kind of base i could work off of like with a cp? i don't know anything about it but it sounds interesting.

[balmy venture]

brolemme check which one martin is

there is a seasonal mod already out and you can use the code and art with permission

[pastel iris]

you're thinking too low on yourself jess oof

[bleak bloom]

oooh thats nice

[balmy venture]

but its a huge pain in the ass because every single portrait and overworld sprite has to be edited

[gloomy turtle]

you can ask Paradigm if you can use their base code for your mod

[pastel iris]

seasonal mod, cheesus

[gloomy turtle]

the complexity of SVO is massive

or you can do a simpler one

[pastel iris]

even my portrait mod that is not seasonal, takes hell of year

[gloomy summit]

I was thinking about making a seasonal version of my npc but JESUS it's a lot of portraits

[balmy venture]

martin looks like a gamer bro

its kinda fun though the seasonal stuff

[pastel iris]

I personally know how to make seasonal mod, but it's lots of work to do alone

[balmy venture]

making em cute little shirts and shit

[gloomy summit]

DON'T MAKE FUN OF HIM 😭

[pastel iris]

unless if there's motivation behind it (money)

[bleak bloom]

damn. alr

[balmy venture]

its shane, but Slightly Different. really groundbreaking stuff

[young harbor]

Gib

[gloomy turtle]

I remember how I wanted to turn my events for my NPC into more of a visual novel type thing

[young harbor]

Gib gib gib
NOW

[gloomy turtle]

with seasonal portraitss

[pastel iris]

nice jess but that is not shane

[young harbor]

🥵

[onyx island]

Was pinged here and the first thing I see when I check this channel is shirtless Pam

[pastel iris]

THIS is shane
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/137344473976799233/747649979094663178/unknown.png

[onyx island]

Yup yup, I saw

[lament turtle]

Oh god

[gloomy summit]

I guess making seasonal outfits can be fun, but I think I've made this character waaay too expressive 😔 Guess he's just going to have that hat forever

[pastel iris]

perfect jess

[gloomy summit]

much better
@balmy venture WHY HSHAHSHA

[balmy venture]

whats wrong? its just shane in a different shirt

maybe he got a haircut too

definitely a glow up

[bleak bloom]

yeah nice new hairstyle bro

[gloomy summit]

Hmm he hasn't aged well

[pastel iris]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/137344473976799233/747648077946421248/unknown.png

[young harbor]

Something about your first Shane is a little off tbh

sotpajigh

[bleak bloom]

OMG

[balmy venture]

it might be that he looks slightly less old and miserable

i love shane i couldnt help but make him a little less visibly empty inside

[pastel iris]

krobus pam pictures my pfp quite well

[bleak bloom]

in all seriousness he has very wide eyes

[young harbor]

but that's because he is empty inside until you marry hima nd -
WHOOPS
Almost
Went on a nsfw rant

[bleak bloom]

he looks a bit surprised

[balmy venture]

shane is actually an anime girl

[young harbor]

Ehehehe

WHY

[gloomy summit]

SAME I love making him a little bit happier 😔

i love shane i couldnt help but make him a little less visibly empty inside
@balmy venture

[young harbor]

There are plenty of those mods out there

[balmy venture]

[balmy venture]

just ignore that AR

[pastel iris]

sugoii shane

[bleak bloom]

[balmy venture]

beer-san always keeps me company

[bleak bloom]

[balmy venture]

huh

maybe ur internet cut out for a sec

[pastel iris]

or maybe discord is down?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/137344473976799233/662668098951839748/unknown.png

[balmy venture]

nope

it sent that just fine

[pastel iris]

oh still works

[balmy venture]

DEMETRIUS

LOL

[bleak bloom]

LMAO

[balmy venture]

gettin into dangerous territory with that one

[gloomy summit]

BSNFBB WHAR

WHAT is that

[balmy venture]

its demetrius

esteemed scientist and subpar father

[pastel iris]

well demetrius is asking himself

[bleak bloom]

[pastel iris]

pam is also good archaeologisthttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/137344473976799233/662482166705553411/unknown.png

[bleak bloom]

now it finally sent

left or right

[balmy venture]

spot the difference

[pastel iris]

uh idk the difference

[bleak bloom]

rip. nvm then

[pastel iris]

but one thing for sure I'd pick the gunther

[bleak bloom]

theres a shine on the hair of the right one

[gloomy summit]

Ooh is it the hair? like, the highlights?

[bleak bloom]

yup

[balmy venture]

oh shit i see it now

[pastel iris]

not really big deal for me tbh

[bleak bloom]

i thought it was more visible than it is. ill keep it then

[pastel iris]

lights or no lights, serves just fine

[balmy venture]

i get what u were going for but instead of desaturating to make it lighter, u should make it more colourful

and just slide it closer to orange

cuz "light" in this portrait is just bright ass yellow instead of white

[gloomy summit]

^

I didn't know how to say it 😔

[bleak bloom]

makes sense. tyty

[balmy venture]

alright lads im off to bed now

[pastel iris]

I wonder why people love rasmodius

[balmy venture]

good talk

[pastel iris]

there are lots of marriageable wizard mods

adios jess

[bleak bloom]

goodnight, sleep well

[pastel iris]

maybe I should make the hot version of wizard as well

[gloomy summit]

I think I downloaded one marriageable Rasmodious mod, but, to be honest, I just downloaded it so he could have a little more depth or something 😔

[bleak bloom]

👀 _ _

lmao

[pastel iris]

but I'm facing problem with.. this competitor

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/137344473976799233/658940478925832213/unknown.png

[gloomy summit]

You can't beat him, nobody can

[pastel iris]

how can I beat that version of wizard

wait a sec coo

don't tell me if that's only copy paste-ing the default dialogue to marriage dialogue?

[steady plover]

The wall of eyes grow

[gloomy summit]

Noo I think it had special events n stuff

[pastel iris]

well if it had special events that means it's already in-depth already?

[gloomy summit]

I never got to try cause I haven't play Stardew in a while now

Oh yeah, I guess, but they're new events, I guess it had some kind of new storyline or something, again, ever got to try it out 😔

I think imma go to sleep now, didn't even realize that it's 4 am already lol

[lament turtle]

hi oops

i got carried away with a drawing

gn choogoo!

[pastel iris]

adios choo

[lament turtle]

my little iphone doodle

[gloomy summit]

Hi and bye 😭

[pastel iris]

eh dw that happens alot on me as well rain

[lament turtle]

still a WIP

[gloomy summit]

Adiocito

adios choo
@pastel iris

[lament turtle]

yeahhh it do be happening

that’s my farmer btw

[bleak bloom]

gn sleep well

oooo such pretty hair

[pastel iris]

why lots of pelican townsfolk is into suspenders

lewis, leah, maru, clint

oh wait nvm, clint is wearing apron

[bleak bloom]

i never noticed the suspenders tbh

[lament turtle]

thank!!

[mighty bronze]

LMFAO, BUFF PAM ALEX, Pamlex?

PAMFLEX!

[pastel iris]

pamflex indeed

you can tell that from the sprite and portraits AR

[bleak bloom]

thats true. i just mean i didnt notice all three had them lol

[pastel iris]

some artworks apparently depicted that way

[bleak bloom]

i wasn't paying much attention ig

well i finished the portrait sheet for leah, so thats nice.

now to change the many sprites.. fun.. lmao

[pastel iris]

that is why I think twice on redesigning hairstyle lol

because if you redesigned the hairstyle way too different from the sprite, you have to redesign the sprite as well

[bleak bloom]

i had to change a lot about the sprites for the last penny mod i did. the clothes, hair, and recolor it all

it took a quite a while

[pastel iris]

the only sprite I redesign is only sebastian so far, because I always bugged on his sprite when he crawls beneath his motorcycle

[bleak bloom]

and i'll have to change this one a fair bit too. but at least the clothes are the same lol

[young harbor]

The cake is done

And now I must be whisked away to sleep laneds

lands

I did a lot today

[pastel iris]

well done jack, I'm waiting the time when you go marie antoinette

[young harbor]

That never happened

[pastel iris]

sad oof

[young harbor]

Like legitimately

Iirc that was just speculation, no one knows what she said

But ye!

Excited to finish the piece when I wake up

It's turning out really well so far 😄

[velvet sun]

hh why does everything i draw look so ugly

i cant even come up with a consistent artstyle

[pastel iris]

how to come up with consistent artstyle is by keep drawing fors

gosh, the sprite inconsistency in sdv really bugs me now

maru's skin is lighter than demetrius in sprite, yet in portrait it's almost same

this gonna be lots of work hoping I'm not offending some random people 😓

[velvet sun]

hhh ive been drawing for years and have never found a consistent artstyle

i guess im just doomed

[pastel iris]

it takes different time for every people, sometimes one can be quicker, sometimes can be slower to find their consistent artstyle

try intensify your drawing instead of designing

[velvet sun]

uh

what's that supposed to mean

[pastel iris]

designing in this case it's like if you want to draw something purely from your own imagination, like OCs that you never made for example

to intensify your drawing, simply draw other characters in your style for example

because there's already reference for that, unlike OCs that's never made

[velvet sun]

i want food,,, but my mom is asleep so i have to wait till she wakes up,,

[pastel iris]

lol it's kinda funny that usually you have to avoid tracing as much as you can when you draw something new, however when it deals about portrait mods it's somehow tracing is really useful because you need a better consistency

[velvet sun]

hm

maybe

it's because

portait brr

[mighty bronze]

Not tha best but good enough

based on my char

the head doesn't look right at all, too big or smaller body

I can definitely edit that digitally

[mossy leaf]

I on the other hand don't care about arm proportions and created some alien

[mighty bronze]

[hard flame]

Hello! I'll just share my boyfriend's artwork because he drew me Im proud of him

If you guys want to commission him feel free to hit me up and I'll tell him!! 🙂 He's accepting commish rn 🙂

[pastel iris]

every commissioning artist have to be proper, tell him not too shy to share his art portfolio and comms pricing here if someone asked for it anytime

@mighty bronze are you trying to draw exactly same as your WoW char? that doesn't look like your usual artstyle

[hard flame]

will ask him about his price 🙂

And i'll also share some of his artworks too!

[pastel iris]

I mean my point is letting himself to be here in this server and this channel, after all there are lots of artist around and maybe we can talk eachothers

[hard flame]

He doesnt play stardew thoo

[pastel iris]

PS : don't get me wrong in case if you think I'm willing to comms him, I mean just talking each others lel

ah fair point then

[hard flame]

yea x)

[mighty bronze]

I have no idea if I have a style or not now I just draw whenever I get an idea

[hard flame]

here's his instagram page if you guys are interested on commissioning him 🙂

[pastel iris]

well that's rather surprising smook, I thought you already found your stable artysttle

[hard flame]

https://www.instagram.com/steen_dl/

[mighty bronze]

I wish az

[pastel iris]

okay okay I get it now

apparently I was so fuckin mistaken

turns out it was mead's 🤦‍♂️

pardon me I didn't read up the whole description whenever you post it in creative lol

[mighty bronze]

oh yeah, those drawings I posted were Mead line art commissions I just colored them but that was like more than a year ago kek

[pastel iris]

gosh realistic style

[mighty bronze]

Ikr

[pastel iris]

um nah I'm referring to maria's bf artstyle

oh didn't know you're playing LoL

[mighty bronze]

Yeah but Mead does realistic too wew

[hard flame]

Yeah his artworks are awesome!!!!!!!

[pastel iris]

never seen mead doing realistic

[mighty bronze]

she posted some drawings on other server also instagram

[hard flame]

oh didn't know you're playing LoL
@pastel iris yea X) after playing calm game like stardew, i play league for saltiness X)

[ancient prawn]

no artstyle is stable, because as an artist you're always evolving

[mighty bronze]

https://www.instagram.com/p/CGtwsDYAWBa/

[pastel iris]

oh wait maria, that one is referring to smookie not you lmao

but fair, I guess you two played LoL lmao

[hard flame]

oh lmao x)

i thought its me since im playing league

[pastel iris]

not really jani, sometimes I can even feel regressing

[mighty bronze]

now that the preseason hit I wanna test some builds kek

[pastel iris]

I might start hitting on LoL art soon, it sounds promising when the 1st time I made my twitter and DA banner featuring LoL characters

[ancient prawn]

not really jani, sometimes I can even feel regressing
@pastel iris however you want to call it, I just meant it's always changing (also I don't think you're regressing, you're just seeing more of what you want to improve than before cause you trained your eyes to spot it )

[mighty bronze]

O yes, I want to do mafia MF fan art

I have it planned

[pastel iris]

oh have you seen senora sarah fortune I draw smook? 👀

[mighty bronze]

I think

i dunno

[pastel iris]

hard to tell to be honest jan, maybe I call it regressing it's because I'm transitioning between softwares

well in case if you have some input feel free to give it right away smook, because I will always improve this piece
https://www.deviantart.com/coldazraelarts

[mighty bronze]

Oh yes dat!!!!

dat is so good

[pastel iris]

clearly a veteran as you are can tell which one is missy fortune

[mighty bronze]

5 girls gang

Kai, Ahri, Lux, Kata, MF in that order, I main them all but Kata and Kai'sa

[pastel iris]

sucks that I don't play it in PC, only in mobile

not enough time management

apparently kata isn't out in wild rift yet

[hard flame]

now that the preseason hit I wanna test some builds kek
