tropic halo
#

also looks like anti-aliasing is turned off

#

shrug

#

maybe go for a bigger canvas

#

the bigger the canvas the less pixels youll see

pastel iris
#

I won't say 2744x2744 is small canvas so

tropic halo
#

also a higher dpi
maybe 300 - 350 depending on what your phone can handle

#

i mean
thats the canvas size
how much of that does the drawing take up??

#

its a lot of white space

#

so its gonna have that low quality look the more you zoom

lament turtle
#

This drawing took one week for me, due to time limitations and skills too

pastel iris
#

I don't know, one thing I can be sure of, I could never generate blocky lines even when it's zoomed unless if I'm using mouse to draw

tropic halo
#

i just think its the size the actual drawing takes up
plus a slightly textured brush
you have to zoom in a lot to get to just the lines because of how little space the piece takes up

#

so its gonna be low qual and blocky

pastel iris
#

and of course if I were to use the brush that's able to make blocky lines as well

tropic halo
#

its not using many pixels

lament turtle
#

SDVpufferthink I'm kinda lost, so the problem is more of my skills or some configurations on the application?

pastel iris
#

maybe kinda both ghost

lament turtle
#

I have other applications too, I used ibix first because was something that I was more familiar off

pastel iris
#

try remember what kind of brush you're using for your line?

lament turtle
#

Let me take a screenshot

#

It still open here

tropic halo
#

its really just a combination of things

pastel iris
#

I don't know ibis but I really doubt ibis artists in general would make that kind of blocky lines

tropic halo
#

small drawing on a big canvas
slightly textured brush (i assume)
really thin lines

#

all of that contributes to zooming in and seeing bad lines

lament turtle
tropic halo
#

and also no anti-aliasing

lament turtle
#

It's in portuguese sorry

pastel iris
#

😆 well this is gonna be hard

tropic halo
#

its really not an application problem...

pastel iris
#

I never said it's app problem nae, I'm pointing the brush they are using

grand cave
#

That brush should be fine

tropic halo
#

its not the brush either that makes it look like that

pastel iris
#

at least from now

tropic halo
#

its just really thin lines
taking up as little pixels as possible because of how zoomed out he drew

#

if the brush was bigger than 4px on the same sized canvas it would be fine

lament turtle
#

Well, I used 3.6px brush

tropic halo
#

see

#

really really small brush

#

you can legit count the pixels those lines took up

lament turtle
spring plume
#

figuring out brush size and resolution stuff is tough

pastel iris
#

for reasons I really think you probably used that caneta digital instead of caneta de tinta (dura)

lament turtle
#

Maybe I have used? Idk, I just used the default brush

#

I may switched one time for the lighting but idk

pastel iris
#

I don't know if 3.6px brush can make that blocky lines in ibis, but it never happened in CSP with wacom so.. I can't say anything regarding to that 🤷

grand cave
#

Hold up so what size canvas was it

tropic halo
#

it really isnt the brush.....

#

its a really big canvas

#

but he used so little space

#

its the same result as drawing on a small canvas

lament turtle
#

Yeah, I don't know how to measure the canvas yet, so I just used a pre-set that was there

#

And because I don't like having little space for drawing

tropic halo
#

just try using up more of the space you have

pastel iris
#

I literally tried that right now in CSP tho, with same resolution and same brush size

grand cave
#

CAVAS

#

HA

pastel iris
#

see? it's far from blocky

lament turtle
#

Almost, this is still a new territory for me, but someday I get there

hard wind
#

Im talking about the AP college board because I don’t know if we’re able to actually submit signed pieces. And even if we are, my pieces doesn’t provide perfect craftsmanship due to the surface of the paper being ripped up a little. I’m sure I’ll be fine but Idk man it’s just pissing me off tbh

lament turtle
#

Just to now be so bad, I'll start another drawing and try again later

tropic halo
#

probably the 293102nd time im saying this but is there an anti-aliasing setting anywhere

hard wind
#

Also I’m almost done w the picture I just gotta do something w the white

grand cave
#

See how it’s still blocky? I drew beside it was the default screenshot taker
I’m really not sure what’s up with it

#

Just try using a larger brush next time

velvet sun
#

what the fuck is anti aliasing

tropic halo
#

the thing that makes your art looks like not pixel art

mossy leaf
pastel iris
tropic halo
#

makes for smoother lines

pastel iris
#

lol so this is because of anti aliasing after all lol

lament turtle
#

I may have found it

tropic halo
#

me who has been saying this since the beginning of time

pastel iris
#

fair point now then, anti aliasing it is

tropic halo
lament turtle
#

Here is called Stabilizer

pastel iris
#

stabilizer and anti aliasing is different imo

lament turtle
#

Oh

#

So idk where to look

tropic halo
#

its not your opinion
its a fact

#

idk i just googled it

pastel iris
#

I'm not ibis user, so it was my opinion before it got clarified 🤷

lament turtle
#

Nothing

grand cave
#

Stabiliser on most drawing platforms is for stabilised lines, so they aren’t wobbly
But even if that does fix it... such a small brush on a large canvas just sounds horribly painful.

tropic halo
#

stabilizer lags your stroke and allows the computer to predict where you will end up while choosing the cleanest way to get there

anti-aliasing smooths out the rough edges on your lines

#

that doesnt change cross programs

lament turtle
#

Hummm, there isn't any configuration saying about it... Not that I can find

tropic halo
grand cave
#

Procreate doesn’t have a wide view stabiliser sadly 😓 you can change the brush settings to have things automatically straighten themselves, though
But you can’t see any delay on it which is very very annoying.

tropic halo
pastel iris
#

also are you using free version of ibis?

#

this is just assumption by the way lol

lament turtle
tropic halo
#

procreate seems fun if im doing any doodle or such

pastel iris
#

free version of softwares always lacks some kind of important feature kek

#

well heck

tropic halo
#

idk if id use it for my fully rendered work

#

the free version of ibis has nothing to do with it either

#

i think the only difference is that you dont have to watch ads for brushes

#

you just have them all unlocked

pastel iris
#

well then

#

are you sure you don't have that in your settings ghost?

lament turtle
#

I'm sure, maybe in another part of settings...

pastel iris
#

try look it up, you probably missed it I guess?

lament turtle
#

But now I can't see it, I'll try another app that's looks good, If it still with this problem, I'll look again.

#

It's late now here so, good night everyone

tropic halo
#

night night

#

now i feel like drawing
sigh

pastel iris
#

adios

velvet sun
mossy leaf
#

its quite subtle

#

its smoothing the lines out a bit too much

#

to the point that the lines become a bit blurry

velvet sun
#

I expanded the canvas to trace over it

#

Which is why it's blurry

mossy leaf
#

aaah

#

this is how anti-aliasing effects my lines, the one on the left is without anti-aliasing and the one on the right has heavy anti-aliasing

tropic halo
#

people normally work without anti-aliasing when theyre doing pixel art

pastel iris
#

ironically I never figured out the existence of anti aliasing in sai or CSP, I simply used the default settings and go for it lol

#

by the way I just got a message from my pal, some kid wants him to draw mobile legends art and offering in-game currency for payment 🤦‍♂️

velvet sun
#

lmao

#

bro draw me some fortnite vs minecraft ill give u robux

mossy leaf
#

sounds like a good deal

#

robux good

pastel iris
#

fortunately this kid understands the situation after he explained why he needs irl money for irl food than in-game currency that you can only use it for buying skins

mossy leaf
#

so he is going to be paid now?

pastel iris
#

well he turned down the comms and the kid apologized afterwards

#

you know, usually some clients like this tend to insult the artist if they don't get what they want 🤣

mossy leaf
#

a happy ending

pastel iris
#

also I really think robux is still better than mobile legends gems, since there's still a way to cash your robux to irl money

velvet sun
#

e

pastel iris
#

while mobile legends gems don't have that kind of feature

#

you can only buy skins and champions with that, and some in-game features that's clearly you can't feed yourself irl with that 😆

velvet sun
#

food, who needs food? i just want new skins

pastel iris
#

still, even though robux can be cashed, I still don't accept that kek

#

and by the way tho

#

I don't know if minecraft and fortnite is using robux?

velvet sun
#

lol

pastel iris
#

I thought robux are usually used by roblox players

velvet sun
#

That's the joke

pastel iris
#

oh lmao

#

I never played minecraft that much or even fortnite actually so idk kek

mossy leaf
pastel iris
#

maybe I should try visiting mcdonalds and ask the cashier if I can pay with robux

Ok nips are fine ?

Do ken dolls have nips

I didn’t see an issue w the nips bc he’s male, he’s just fat and has a bit of chunk! ☺️

knotty heart
#

I mean yeah but meh

#

Idk

warm finch
#

I think as long as you’re not trying to sexualize the art it’s fine

knotty heart
#

Yeah that sounds correct

#

@unkempt tinsel are nips ok

unkempt tinsel

in the pic above yes

knotty heart
#

Ok cool

warm finch

Man nips imo are fine but we’ll hear it from jade

Yee it’s not a sexual drawing or anything i just haven’t drawn clothes on him yet 😅

Lol

warm finch
#

Interesting

knotty heart

I honestly don’t care what’s in your drawing

I was just questioning because people getting in trouble for a drawing would be sucky

#

I want to do a little bfav wild critter pack with them

#

do the colors seem okay to folks? I'm using foliage redone and prefer jewel tones.

velvet sun
#

im more of a pastel person myself, but it looks ok to me

marble storm
#

I think so, personally

#

Very pretty colors

humble lava
#

the black outline on the fox mighty be a bit out of place, but that just needs to be turned a lighter brown or something if anything

spring plume
#

I agree, with the fox outline but I'm really struggling with it. if i pick a saturated brown it doesn't look like an outline it looks like a weird halo and if I pick desaturated brown its not a strong enough line visually. sugestions?

humble lava
#

mm, it looks fine to me
I need to look at the vanilla critters again

stuck robin
#

have you tried a dark red/orange maybe?

spring plume
#

some times I can still hear the vanilla critters voices....

stuck robin
#

it looks good as a png but i think it pops out a bit in the game

spring plume
#

oh...hey, why didn't I think of dark orange.

humble lava
#

He's about as dark in color as the brown chicken, I'd swipe the chicken's outline color and see how that does

spring plume
#

I'm doorknob

#

ah! thats a good idea

humble lava
#

I mean tbf dark orange is brown no? .3.

marble storm
#

It’s close enough to brown

stuck robin
#

basically brown

spring plume
#

different brown? this color was in a very different spot on the color wheel.

#

and I think I like it much much better

humble lava
#

this looks good

stuck robin
#

i like it

spring plume
#

next question, the white eyes?

marble storm
#

It is still quite prominent, but it’s much better

stuck robin
#

i almost never use completely white or black values

humble lava
#

yeah. the outline colors in game aren't tooootaly consistent so there's room to play, but black will stick out

#

the eyes don't bother me. long as he doesn't sleep with them open anyways SDVpufferyoba

spring plume
#

I tend to work very light and then tone corect for a more vibrant color and then readjust the outline. The foxes have just been griefing me.

stuck robin
#

i dont know if your goal is to fit in completely with the vanilla game, or just not to stick out but i think the eyes are fine, like unless you wanted to really make it fit into the game where all the animal eyes are just dark

spring plume
#

honestly I haven't seen the vanilla game in years.

humble lava
#

lol that'll do it

spring plume
#

I'm aiming to have them look okay with foliage redone along side K's goats, chonkins and elles new barn animals...so those are my goal posts.

marble storm
#

He’s adorable!

spring plume
#

the flowers arn't super readable now that I'm sharing it. hmmmm

marble storm
#

The problem may be lack of outlining, but I’m not sure how you’d outline on such a small scale...

#

Maybe make the outside pixels of the flower a darker shade?

#

Specifically the green

spring plume
marble storm
#

I may not be the best person to judge if that particular shade of darker green is an improvement, because I’m colorblind and the dark green and brown blend together, but I think it looks pretty like that

spring plume
#

aah noted! the chicken sprite sheet sure is small :/

marble storm
#

I didn’t know that, thats kinda odd...

#

Oh wow, the chicken is the same size as the rabbit!

#

yeah the chicken sprite is extremely impressive now that I am looking closely

#

oh I should probably look at the vanilla rabbit huh lmao

the rabbit is even smaller

Wow, I can’t believe the rabbit is so small... lol

tranquil comet

does anyone know how to make a layer draw on only the layer below it versus all layers below in krita?

stuck robin
#

wdym "make a layer draw" ?

#

you just select the layer you want to draw on , right?

tranquil comet
#

uhh like

#

when i draw on a specific layer it only appears on colored in areas below it? the a button with the name i dont remember

stuck robin
#

im still kind of confused by what you mean

#

but you can rearrange the layers so the colors are on top of another ?

#

or are you talking about inherit alpha?

tranquil comet
#

i think?

stuck robin
#

clipping mask?

#

i just dont fully understand what you are asking

tranquil comet
#

i dont actually know how to explain it, hol on

#

you draw on a layer, make a new layer, press the a button, and then if you draw on the new layer it only shows up in places that are drawn on below it?

stuck robin
#

oh, "A" button

#

yeah thats inherit alpha

tranquil comet
#

ight, well now i know what its called lol

stuck robin
#

wait what was your original question lol

tranquil comet
#

is there any way to have it only for the layer below it?

#

directly below

stuck robin
#

it only applies to the layer that is selected right?

hoary pumice
#

youre thinking of a clipping mask

tranquil comet
#

i mean like it only shows up in places the layer directly below it versus all layers below?

#

sorry i normally do pixel art where i dont have to worry about things like this lol

oblique pivot
#

maybe you could try making a duplicate of the layer and using inherit alpha? or maybe duplicate the layer and use inherit alpha to make it all one color, use the selection wand to select it, delete the duplicated layer and create a new one? i hope that wasnt too hard to understand lol

humble lava
#

what you describe is a clipping mask. I've never heard of one made to go over all layers below, but in some programs you could make a layer clip over a folder of them..

#

idk it's been a decade since I touched Photoshop or any similarly robust program.

#

my knowledge is basically limited to Sai and how it works, now.

#

all i know is krita but ye thanks

ill try it

lament turtle
# ancient blade I've spotted it, but idk why it should be more realistic now...

In an actual water tower, the piping system needs to go on the inside of the tank/barrel. I did say it was a teeny tiny change. 😅 By realism I simply meant in line with how an actual water tower looks like, and in regards to how the OG show did it. It was supposed to be that way from the start but I didn't spot the goof until last night. The whole point of my comic series is I want to bring back the realism of Awdre's stories (or at least as much as I can, I'm not expecting 100% realism, but that doesn't mean I won't try) and that includes tiny details 🙂

how can you make it so your pen tapers at the end?

pressure ?

tropic halo

in the brush settings

its somewhere there

#

but theres also a default pen that does it

#

and a default pencil

glacial fox
#

Pretty much the brush already have that, if you didn't turn it off. If you still feel like it is still too thick, try to control your strength

#

or try to set the force and pressure in the brush to fit your strength

tropic halo
#

you can always just
make your strokes start at 0px with the least amount of pressure

and manually taper

I'm sure an outsider is probably thinking - "Why is Thomas green? He's blue silly!". Well to avoid boring you all with the Thomas lore.. (Yes, Thomas did have lore), he was originally green when he joined Sodor, and was repainted blue in The Adventure Begins. My comic series expands on this with further characterisation and expansion on Thomas as a character, including some very emotional moments where he must learn that whilst his brothers and sisters were scrapped and he's the last of his kind, he must focus on the present and live his life.

i can't say the actual word for it because apparently it's a bad word if it's meant a bad context

#

so it's just on the auto censor list

#

it's ok tho i understand that!

#

What the hell why does thomas have lore

mossy leaf
#

a question that we will never get an answer to

lament turtle
#

if you watch the classic show and the books they all connect with arcs and stuff

#

in fact, weirdly enough, in the books, Thomas wasn't the main character. Gordon was.

#

Gordon was a stubborn and pompous engine, and slowly over time matured into a peaceful and respectful old engine who accepted his time was up by the final book.

mossy leaf
#

this is mind blowing stuff

#

never knew any of this

lament turtle
#

it's why the news of Series 25 caused an explosion... it's a huge slap in the fact to why Thomas survived for 75 years, and is a dis-service to Awdre's vision, on top of not even having an identity anymore. It comes into perspective more when I find parents saying on social media that their kids were horrified by the trailer for Series 25 and Britt Alcroft was very displeased 😅

mossy leaf
#

looks like series 25 doesn't have a good start

lament turtle
#

Sadly no. BWBA failed.... because kids didn't like how it drifted away from the original formula that they loved and booted two of their favourite engines out for PC....

#

and this drifts even further away 😔 oh well

#

our content will live on aha

#

which is why I'm excited to make this comic 😄

lament turtle
mossy leaf
#

oo what is it about?

lament turtle
#

Grandpuff and Sleeping Beauty are two parters. Basically it's a stormy night and the engines are stuck in the sheds, so Thomas tells a story to the other engines about the narrow gauge railway

velvet sun
#

which two engines did they just boot out

lament turtle
#

Henry and Edward

mossy leaf
#

nooooo not them SadCat

velvet sun
#

HUH??

I DONT EVEN REMEMBER WHO THESE CHARACTERS ARE BUT HOW DARE THEY

mossy leaf
#

why them Aqua_cry

lament turtle
#

because they couldn't axe Thomas

#

Gordon was too popular

mossy leaf
lament turtle
#

Emily was a female, so she had to stay in

mossy leaf
lament turtle
#

yep

velvet sun
#

oh my god

lament turtle
#

they were both booted for the sake of gender balance

mossy leaf
#

... seriously?

lament turtle
#

introduced two female clones

velvet sun
#

the only one i remembered was the red one or something

lament turtle
#

James!

#

ah yes

mossy leaf
#

is he alive?

lament turtle
#

as of Series 25, his status is unknown, he didn't show up in the trailer

mossy leaf
velvet sun
#

oh no

lament turtle
#

although

mossy leaf
#

are they just going to boot everyone out and only keep thomas

lament turtle
#

Gordon is now the father of Thomas and his parent is Carly the crane now so idek anymore 😒

velvet sun
#

carly the crane wtf

#

what about the square one

lament turtle
#

pro-creation, great for kids amiright

#

Toby was reduced to basically.... cameo

#

for whatever reason Mattel doesn't like him :/

velvet sun
#

Aww

lament turtle
#

probably can't be exploited aha

mossy leaf
#

I feel like they are just throwing random ideas on a wall hoping they will stick

lament turtle
#

That's basically what Mattel wants to do with Thomas. They don't want Thomas to go back to its roots and would rather do new things with the brand. The writers I've heard don't like what Mattel is doing to Thomas, and nor do the old showrunners.

#

and Mattel already lost nearly all their money on BWBA's failure so

#

hopefully the brand is given to someone better toad_dance

mossy leaf
#

the directors not listening to the staff and making a bad show, how classic

#

if the show fails bad, it might be put on indefinite hold for a couple years

lament turtle
#

honestly

#

since I know Series 25 will flop, I want it too, if it means the show is put on hiatus and given to someone potentially better

mossy leaf
#

agreed

lament turtle
#

Give the show a rest, I think the show needs a proper refresh at this point

#

25 series is enough

mossy leaf
#

extremely very much agreed

velvet sun
#

man i thought the show died a long time ago

lament turtle
#

it's funny cause

#

the show technically did start to die from Series 8-16

mossy leaf
#

and its at series 25 now???

lament turtle
#

but Andrew Brenner came back for Series 17-21 and really tried to bring the show back to its roots, and he almost got there, he was on that final hurdle, but then Mattel came along and ruined all his hard work. He was so ticked off, he left.

mossy leaf
#

damn

lament turtle
#

The last straw was the PC stuff, that was enough for him to hang the coat xD

mossy leaf
#

that really sucks

lament turtle
#

Aw well. He had a good run, and I give him props for standing up for himself.

#

and I'll always remember his amazing movies, such as The Adventure Begins and Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure Mario_OK

#

John Hurt will be remembered for playing my favourite Thomas villain

#

a human pirate intent on stealing the important treasure buried on the island and almost blowing Thomas up with dynamite

lament turtle
# odd tiger What gave you the idea to do Thomas?

after seeing the Series 25 trailer and seeing how parents/kids were reacting, (and also my own personal feelings) + how Birtt Alcroft and the writers of the show felt, I wanted to do something a bit different with my comic series, to expand upon the lore Awdre set in place.

Oh that's cool c:

huh. that;s interesting,, i never knew they had drivers lol

Keep up the good work my friend SDVpufferthumbsup

oh lol

in fact

#

Thomas' driver has a name

#

He (Bob) and the fireman both got married on the island to two females according to Awdre when Thomas was bought by TFC (They came from Brighton)

velvet sun

Wow this is some deep lore

there's a bit more to Thomas character (Explained above) where

Thomas is the last of his kind

his siblings all got scrapped

besides amazing galaxy slimes

galaxy slimes that have their own loot-table as opposed to how reskins drop hardcoded loot from whatever you base it on

plus the eggs, with the ability to hatch them

and they should count towards the 1000 slime kills for the Adventure Guild quest

Is it bad to draw on lower resSDVpuffersweats

humble lava
#

I have to sketch at low res, then blow it up to do detail work on the finished piece
trying to sketch at high res just.. I don't know. It always felt wrong when I made the transition to digital from paper
Though, that's mostly because there were a few intermediary years before I got a tablet where I would scan in traditional stuff to edit in digital. Learned a lot of bad habits I can't break.

I just find it easiest to draw at that res and then I usually just crop my canvas at the end, so my finished piece might be 2kx2k anyway, just depends

# warm finch i mean i understand that but i don't often go up to 2kx2k or even 3kx3k

it's no biggie, not everything has to be supreme quality. it's good to draw big but i mean i did basically the same thing for a very long time before starting to size up my work. i usually use a big canvas and draw on it 50%, i have the choice to go further in/do more detail if i want but otherwise it just means it'll look better if i make it a wallpaper or something

#

i think small canvases can have a lot of charm too and i find that i end up doing more complete works usually when i am confined to a smaller space. sometimes you just don't want to do a big piece of work

If you have any interest in having your own OC NPC(s) in the game, let me know! 😛
With full credit, of course.

Once you feel like your NPC is ready to be its own standalone NPC, I'll help you with the Content Patcher code so you can upload it yourself on Nexus/ModDrop.
