[silver relic]

POGGGG CONGRATS!!

[tropic halo]

dont worry too much about style
cause its gonna change alot
its gonna constantly change as you improve

[stable lily]

I dont have consistent artstyle 😪

[tropic halo]

i dont either

idc much about it
cause im still learning

[stable lily]

I have like slightly realistic to super cartoonic drawin

[tropic halo]

im not gonna let trying to keep everything in a specific style stop me from improving

[neat frigate]

I have a slightly realistic to anime style ;-;

[neat frigate]

I know it’s gonna change and that I’m not at my best at my art rn
But I really did like it and I wish I could choose to draw some things in that art style

[mighty bronze]

Yeah but like when I draw an oc profile I kinda want to keep the same style for it in each pose and is hard, huw huw

[tropic halo]

even people with consistent art styles change stuff around every now and then to fit whatever character theyre doing

[neat frigate]

I mostly wanna keep a consistent artsyle for when I start commissions...

[tropic halo]

consistency will come as you improve

how i draw now is way different than how i used to draw

[neat frigate]

rip to anyone who pays for my art rn then while it’s inconsistent

[lament turtle]

Then don't make commissions yet and figure out an art style first..?

[tropic halo]

yeah dont open comms if your art isnt at a certain standard

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/166004451016966146/739889108104511558/jim_colour.png what my art used to look like

something more recent

[mighty bronze]

Doing the art summary will be interesting

[neat frigate]

I kinda need the money though, I wouldn’t do commissions if I didn’t need it
Working a min wage job and doing commissions because I can draw so might as well use it

[lament turtle]

It doesn't work out well though.

[heady oriole]

@lament turtle You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels!

[lament turtle]

It's better to have patience.

Ohhh poggers.

Nice blue.

[lament turtle]

Though, you should have patience.

[stable lily]

I have mine like this

And the latest #creative

[tropic halo]

you can always start if you want to
theres people that will buy regardless of inconsistency

just be safe and make sure you set up proper terms and stuff while using invoices so you can protect yourself from getting scammed

[neat frigate]

yeah i know, I thought so
Especially my friends that want to buy my art rn but can’t cause I don’t have a bank account yet heh

And yeah I’ll look all that up when I get there, hopefully soon!

[tropic halo]

kk
good luck

[lament turtle]

@neat frigate still, good luck though indeed. I hope everything turns out great for you and that you'll some day find an consistent art style!

[neat frigate]

Thank you so much y’all 💕

[silver relic]

shane but he’s like 50

[balmy venture]

LOL

[pastel iris]

well being drunk is pretty much common, they are still different

andy is a devout yoba worshipper while shane denies her existence

[balmy venture]

oh i know its just a joke lol

but i do not know anything abt the sve characters because i do not have sve

[pastel iris]

I don't have either, I simply read the wiki and posts in SVE lore 🤣

[mighty bronze]

Oh wow, there is a complete animation course sale!! if anyone is interested https://creatureartteacher.com/product/complete-animation-course/?src=fbvsq2&fbclid=IwAR1G-ao2bKJH4KV-xRcy1nHfdzkq8ie28WcRl5ysfV3iqPTmkDWcc30ELmo

[mossy leaf]

[mossy leaf]

mikan

[blissful sonnet]

omg

not dead???

@tropic halo nae, omg i just got my first commission even though i dont have commissions opened

[tropic halo]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[blissful sonnet]

[tropic halo]

wait bg
MAKE SURE YOU DO IT BY INVOICES
PROTECT YOURSELF

[blissful sonnet]

I WILL PROTECT MYSELF

I LISTEN TO UR ADVICE NAE

[tropic halo]

good

take all your payment before you start working

never ever ever ever ever start working without getting paid

ill smack you

[blissful sonnet]

just questioning, i think i did the commission right, i started asking what they would like for me to draw, the price, when they want it, size and uh, how to do the payment gujergnit

[tropic halo]

[blissful sonnet]

is this correct?

[tropic halo]

set up a paypal invoice

altho
youre underaged

[blissful sonnet]

i asked mom and she said i could!

[tropic halo]

get your mom or so to set yp your paypal

ah good

[blissful sonnet]

:D

[tropic halo]

thats good
go to the invoices part and set one up
make sure to add some rules and terms to protect yourself

even if its simple for now

then when they pay
you can start working

[blissful sonnet]

i havent started yet, and the server about art kept reminding to like, take at least half up front!

[tropic halo]

yeah
half is better than nothing up front
but its best to always take full upfront

[blissful sonnet]

ooo gotcha

what are ur rules and terms if you dont mind me asking?

[tropic halo]

and when youre sending them sketches and stuff to make sure they like what youre doing
add watermarks
like
heavily watermark it

[blissful sonnet]

never done this before ahhh

[tropic halo]

sec

[blissful sonnet]

this is to prevent stealing right

[tropic halo]

yeah

i dont think i can send my whole site here since itll count as promo so ill screenshot it
gimmie a sec

[blissful sonnet]

the promo rule still confuses me ahhhh D:

[tropic halo]

my wifi is being stinky

uggggghhhh

[blissful sonnet]

wait

this is gonna take me alot to read

[blissful sonnet]

for the last one in this, i think im going to start off with, because i was commissioned in making a discord emote

[tropic halo]

ooo
emotes

i try to be very specific with my terms
cause poeple love finding loopholes

[blissful sonnet]

have u ever encountered someone trying to do a loophole nae?

[tropic halo]

nope

one think i do is go by gut feeling
if someone comes off as even a little bit sketchy i dont work with them

[blissful sonnet]

oooo

i should rely on my gut feeling then D:

oh yeah nae, i didnt know what the size was for a discord emote and asked the commissioner, they said its 300 x 300

is this true? i dont want to give them something oversized

[steel spruce]

its smaller

128 by 128 pixels

[blissful sonnet]

AH THANK UUU

[steel spruce]

no probs!

[tropic halo]

dont work in 128 x 128

thats gonna be really low quality and pixelated

what i did was work in 500 x 500 then resized it afterwards

[blissful sonnet]

ohhhh

got it

thank u nae

[tropic halo]

Discord emotes don't have a specific size anyways

There's a pin in help chat all about emotes
In the art server

[blissful sonnet]

ohhh

lemme go there real quick

@tropic halo wow, that was so helpful AHHH

they even have something for making a commission sheet!!!

[tropic halo]

Yeah there's a lot of useful info in the pins

There's also info on the pricing channel

[blissful sonnet]

oooo

[tropic halo]

And they're working on a channel for art laws

[blissful sonnet]

oh yeah, i asked the commissioner for 250 pesos which is basically 5 dollars, is this bad?

[tropic halo]

Working with an actual lawyer

[blissful sonnet]

omg wow

[tropic halo]

Yes very bad

[blissful sonnet]

JFOIEFJOE

[tropic halo]

5 is pocket change

You need to be properly compensated for your time and work

10 usd minimum

[blissful sonnet]

Ohh gotcha

i was just thinking that like, 10 dollars would be good for like US but when converted, would be far too expensive for an emote in the philippines

ahhhh idk D:

[tropic halo]

dont think about it like that
10 usd is about 1200 in jamaican dollars

most clients will be from first world countries where their money is worth more

capitalize on that

[blissful sonnet]

got it!!!

should i set my base prices to ones that have their money worth more then?

[warm finch]

Lol

It’s ok!

[blissful sonnet]

[silver relic]

excited for more yellow gang

[tropic halo]

working on this
its very wip wip rn
but its going slowly

[blissful sonnet]

love it as always

[tropic halo]

yeah im trying sumn new
less cutsy features

[lament turtle]

haven't done a lot of art lately, but here is something

Awesome job both of you! I'm jealous, damn.

[mighty bronze]

does anyone know how can I clean a text that I cropped from an image?

[lament turtle]

I mean, you could easily re-create it. Type text, use a fun font, create a new layer, make a big black circle with a size, shrink it, erase the inner part, and done.

You have a circle with the text.

[mighty bronze]

Yeah, I want to recreate it for a personalized T-shirt but that font is tricky

I found a tutorial on how to clean things so ima try it

[lament turtle]

Good luck.

[pastel iris]

you're worrying too much smook, if you're using that for t-shirt it doesn't matter whether the logo is smooth or a bit blocky

there's hardly any difference when printed

[lament turtle]

How do you have Pixelsmith?

[pastel iris]

who? me?

[lament turtle]

Yes.

[pastel iris]

well I made a mod in a form of pixel art

[tropic halo]

yup

[lament turtle]

Oh nice.

[tropic halo]

i remember when i used to be a cheeto

gave up that life to be pee

[pastel iris]

or you can just easily get it by recoloring a sprite kek

[tropic halo]

yeah its pretty easy to get

easiest of all the mod roles

[mighty bronze]

well, not bad heh

ah, I missed a spot

[pastel iris]

jeez, it doesn't make any difference

[mighty bronze]

I've redone it tho lol

[lament turtle]

Awesome job!!

The last one even better.

You could use both, though.

[mighty bronze]

Couldn't find that font for the "swing" anywhere

[lament turtle]

One for darker colored shirts, one for brighter colored shirts.

[pastel iris]

just print it straight ahead, for real it doesn't make any difference 💫

[mighty bronze]

eh

I had to make a png version anyway

[tropic halo]

you coulve just used the convert brightness to opacity option

that wouldve gotten rid of all the whites

and make it transparent

[mighty bronze]

my monkey brain wouldn't thought at that

[tropic halo]

i honestly didnt even know it was an option until a while back

[exotic snow]

WAIT I NEED TO KNOW HOW PLS TEACH ME SENSEI

[exotic snow]

poggers

thanks!

[tropic halo]

i saw someone do it in photoshop

but it wasnt a single button

it was a whooole process

[lament turtle]

Dude nobody can beat my art.

[tropic halo]

then i googled it and found out csp just has a button for it

[lament turtle]

POG I GOT THE ROLE.

[exotic snow]

damn ps really is troublesome huh

[lament turtle]

I am now slamon gang.

[exotic snow]

oooo nice salmon pink

[lament turtle]

Yes.

[tropic halo]

Y'all should get my skills.

i wish i was good at drawing children

[tropic halo]

^^^

[mighty bronze]

whoa, I am drawing my baby too rn, soon I'll be done with the sketches and actually build his profile

I am glad I could keep a consistent style between the references

[steel spruce]

Lmao @misty geyser I love yours!

[misty geyser]

bro what

why here?

[steel spruce]

Oh whoops wrong chat

My bad

[tropic halo]

looking great so far

csp just crashed and idk what to do with myself

[mighty bronze]

whispers, traditional fart

[tropic halo]

sigh

i did so much rendering ;-;

then i tried to save and it went poof

[mighty bronze]

OH GOD

uhhh, maybe there is not much lost

if you look in the backup files

[tropic halo]

all the rendering is gone
im back to flats

[exotic snow]

time to cry, rest in pieces nae

[tropic halo]

sigh

just lost all vibe to complete this piece

but i have to finish it today
before the deadline

[mighty bronze]

[tropic halo]

oh happy day

i have a few extra days to work on this

[cosmic oasis]

👍

[exotic snow]

its like they knew

[tropic halo]

now to start brain storming for the event

to pinterest i go

[cosmic oasis]

GL!

[tropic halo]

iill need it

[cosmic oasis]

I’ll give you more!

[mighty bronze]

I found some refs, hopefully I can put them close for an idea

[tropic halo]

my homepage says a lot about me

[mighty bronze]

hmmm, I get hamster videos

not bad

[tropic halo]

my pin is just
broadway memes and art
pretty people
and random art from other people

[cosmic oasis]

I am unable to draw using human references

[mighty bronze]

pretty people... hmm, you mean nae?

[tropic halo]

[tropic halo]

i love using human references

i get nice poses and proportions

[mighty bronze]

!!

[cosmic oasis]

I kinda just draw then use myself as poses reference lol

[mighty bronze]

same, sometimes there is something good that catch my eye

[tropic halo]

since ive started going for more realistic proportions human references help a lot

[cosmic oasis]

I like a cartoonish messy style

[tropic halo]

to each their own

i used to do super cartoony stuff

[cosmic oasis]

Everyone has their own preferences and that’s what makes us all talented

[lament turtle]

Yes.

I prefer black-white pixel art.

😎

[cosmic oasis]

If everyone had the same style nothing would be special

[lament turtle]

That's how I made this beautiful bunny into a horror one on accident.

[tropic halo]

yeah it would just be very boring

[lament turtle]

Shading can do a lot to a piece.

[cosmic oasis]

I like only doing flat colors rather than shading

[lament turtle]

And it works out for you. It looks amazing.

Once I get more experienced in pixel art in general (the bunny was my 4th piece I've ever made) I got to make a pfp for myself.

[cosmic oasis]

Sometimes I’ll shade if I feel as if the piece is missing something

[cosmic oasis]

You’ll get there! I’m routing for you!

[tropic halo]

my work looks gross without shading

[lament turtle]

Thank youuu!

[tropic halo]

i wish i could pull off a flat style

[cosmic oasis]

My art looks better without shading because my shading looks disgusting lol

[lament turtle]

Bacl and white pixel art without shading is too blant. My art, at least.

[cosmic oasis]

No gotta hand it to ya for pulling off the black and white

[lament turtle]

Thank you.

It means a lot to me.

[cosmic oasis]

I’m glad

[tropic halo]

even with my flat colour option i have to add a little bit of shading
like cell shading
cause it just looks gross and messy without

[cosmic oasis]

Yes I get it

Not everyone can pull if certain things

And thats ok!

[lament turtle]

I like your rendered way better indeed.

Like, not better. Actually way better.

I haven't seen such good art that's already rendered.

Same for Midori without the rendered art.

Somehow it still looks rendered.

Y'all art is so special.

And then you have my skeleton "Pixel".

Lmao.

[tropic halo]

im looking through my site and i just saw a haley wip that i said i was gonna finish 20312301230123 days ago

[lament turtle]

2nd piece made.

[tropic halo]

cute skelly

[lament turtle]

Thankies.

[cosmic oasis]

I love the skelly

Pat pat

[lament turtle]

Lmao.

I thought "Pixel" would be a fitting name.

[tropic halo]

this is just gonna be one of those forever wips

[lament turtle]

Due to pixel art (obviously), and it's a little thing.

[cosmic oasis]

Skelly pixel the skeleton

[lament turtle]

How is that WIP? Now I'm curious how you are going to improve that master piece.

[cosmic oasis]

I have so much unfinished work

[tropic halo]

the hair isnt done

[lament turtle]

How.

[tropic halo]

everything else is done tho

[exotic snow]

ill see u in ten years with the finished thing 😔🤚🏻

[cosmic oasis]

Hair is pain

[tropic halo]

the hair is just a sketch rn
im trying to figure out the parts and stuff

[tropic halo]

make it 20

[cosmic oasis]

Damn

[tropic halo]

i have about
3

[exotic snow]

no worries 20 years will pass in the blink of an eye 🤡

[cosmic oasis]

I have 5 digital and 7 on paper

[lament turtle]

I have about 0.

Since I start with like 30x25 scaled.

[exotic snow]

i do hair in big shapes then figure out the lighting becomes easier

[cosmic oasis]

I just don’t shade it

[exotic snow]

... i have a folder called “trash” and its literally all.. over 10 of my hated wips 🤡

[tropic halo]

i honestly just need to stop being a dummy and put in the work
her hair isnt as hard as im making it out to be

[cosmic oasis]

I have a folder called ‘broken dreams’ abd everything I gave up on is in there

And*

[tropic halo]

i kinda just
delete the wips i think are bad

and start from scratch

[exotic snow]

😂broken dreams sounds about right

[cosmic oasis]

Most of them are models and animations

[lament turtle]

LMAO.

[tropic halo]

and this is the folder with art from other people that i really like

[tropic halo]

pffffffft

[lament turtle]

Uhmm, I don't get offended by it. But maybe delete it before an Admin gets on to you.

[exotic snow]

ah.

didnt realize it was offensive

[lament turtle]

Here is my folder.

[cosmic oasis]

I hate how I give up on things easily

[lament turtle]

Same.

[tropic halo]

same tbh

[cosmic oasis]

“Try, try aga-“ NO

[exotic snow]

me in real life is just- unbothered by anything and kinda empty 🤡🤡💀

[tropic halo]

if its something you really wanna do but dont have the motivation to in the moment just
put it away for a bit

[exotic snow]

so thank you for the heads up @lament turtle

[tropic halo]

thats what i did with haley
i really wanna finish it but im just not feeling it at the moment

[cosmic oasis]

I’ve had an animation just sitting there for over a year

I wanna finish it

[lament turtle]

No problem.

[tropic halo]

me tbh

only thing that offends me is bad writing

[cosmic oasis]

The only thing that bothers me is ignorant selfish people

[tropic halo]

well if it needs to sit for another 20 years before you feel motivated to do it then so be it

[cosmic oasis]

My poor poor grandma wanted to see it lmao

[exotic snow]

grandma... oh.. OH.

well best of luck with your motivation!

[cosmic oasis]

She really keeps on calling me to ask me about it

[tropic halo]

oh uh....

get it done then

let grandma motivate you

[cosmic oasis]

I can’t I have no motivation and I gotta keep up my marks

Fhfhfvnj during the April break I’ll get it done

[exotic snow]

screaming helps

...sometimes

[cosmic oasis]

noted

[tropic halo]

screaming helps with a lot

[cosmic oasis]

My screaming sounds like a drunken idiot about to steal a granny’s cookies

Even tho she told him to take some

[tropic halo]

i just dropped a glob of mayo on my tablet and now im just kinda
staring at it

[cosmic oasis]

NOOOOOO

CLEAN IT UP BEFORE IT STICKS

[exotic snow]

heres my list of methods to overcome any kind of pain:

1. screaming (success rate 75%)
2. crying (success rate 40%)
3. eating (success rate 20%)
4. fake laughing (success rate 10%)
5. healthy and wholesome advice-taking (success rate 5%)

so bottom line, just trust yourself

[lament turtle]

Does anyone have an idea what I could draw?

[cosmic oasis]

Alsooo I think someone just commissioned me

[exotic snow]

pog

[lament turtle]

Congrats!!!

[exotic snow]

lick it off

[tropic halo]

hell yeah

[cosmic oasis]

Try practicing things you can’t or aren’t used to drawing

[tropic halo]

get that bread

[cosmic oasis]

Bread!

[tropic halo]

just make sure to stay safe

[lament turtle]

I do want to practice with shapes and shadows, but I don't know on what.

[cosmic oasis]

A cube

[lament turtle]

I meant shape as animals, humans, etc.

[cosmic oasis]

Hmmm

[tropic halo]

[cosmic oasis]

[tropic halo]

[rough swift]

@barren root this is hot asf nice job

i want a harvey in my life

[cobalt cove]

so realistic wtf

I wish I could draw lmfao

[rough swift]

its cliche but really all you need to practice and dedication

you could become really good if you wanted to

[cobalt cove]

tis a slow process haha

[exotic snow]

practise right is the key

[rough swift]

i wouldnt say so

it only took me a few months to see very big improvement

i still have my art from when i first started compared to now

[tropic halo]

yeah ive been drawing for some months and my now art is waaaaaaay better than my art from back then

[cobalt cove]

oh well yeah, big improvement for me too but still not where I want to be

[tropic halo]

just practice smart and practice consistently

[cobalt cove]

ye

[tropic halo]

my biggest inspiration tbh

[cosmic oasis]

Ass

[cobalt cove]

HAHA

[lament turtle]

Now I wonder, go to DMs real quick.

[tropic halo]

[barren root]

[tropic halo]

[spiral gale]

this one was so cool too

[exotic snow]

they look so cool!!!! omg!!!

[cinder falcon]

How do you get your stuff shared on #art-gallery ?

[humble lava]

only SDV-related stuff is reposted there

[lament turtle]

if it is SDV related then a mod will likely manually mark it to appear in there

[humble lava]

though it sometimes takes them a while to get around to it.

[ember sequoia]

the bot's been down for a couple weeks, looks like she's back up

[stuck robin]

leah got revived

hopefully my brain starts working in time for me to paint sumn for the contest

[stuck robin]

DAMN the touch of red 😩 👌

[tropic halo]

what a mood

[cerulean hollow]

xD

[lament turtle]

How does one use custom brushes on Medibang like that?

[tropic halo]

idk

[lament turtle]

I can’t find any foliage ones

[tropic halo]

i dont use medi bang

[tropic halo]

when i cant find brushes that do what i want i just make my own

[lament turtle]

Oh-

Man, I wish I could make my own

[tropic halo]

how come you cant?

[lament turtle]

I don’t exactly know how to

[tropic halo]

just google it

google has all the answers

[blissful sonnet]

hiii

just started to make a paypal account to recieve money for a commission

and have no clue how to do this

[exotic snow]

^^ me either, thats partly why i dont do comms aasdfjalsd

[blissful sonnet]

rjgiuehsfiud

[warm finch]

i think you need to first convert your account to a business one

so you can create invoices for your clients

[blissful sonnet]

ohh thank u butter, was wondering whether to choose business or personal

[warm finch]

business

yep

np!

[blissful sonnet]

oh wait butter!

there is another step, about how im looking to accept payments

should i choose the email, invoicing or link option?

[warm finch]

invoicing is best

cuz then you can put in your tos in the invoice description

[blissful sonnet]

oo

gotcha

uhh

butter

what should i put for the business type

[warm finch]

art?

i forgot what i put, but it's something like that, freelance

[blissful sonnet]

thats not a option aaaaa

[warm finch]

what options do you have?

[blissful sonnet]

butter?

[echo mesa]

im inclined to say individual/sole proprietorship
bc youre an individual selling a product (art)

[blissful sonnet]

ah thank u jar!! was thinking the same but didnt want to choose something wrong D:

its asking, for my passport id??

[echo mesa]

[blissful sonnet]

i got permission, to make a paypal

but it really gonna confirm my age SOB

ill, just make a paypal under my mom's name, because this wack

hmmm, it says there is student accounts

nvm, they removed that AHHH

[warm finch]

yea individual, sorry i forgot to respond LOL

how old are you BG?

yea pp needs the individual to be 18 or above

[blissful sonnet]

im not 18 yet ahhhh

idk

why they removed the student accounts

[warm finch]

Cuz students-

Parental guidance

[warm finch]

Bluu bluu

[exotic snow]

nice legs woooo

[exotic snow]

sharing this tiny tutorial i just did for anyone out there who needs it

[rain olive]

thanks u amaryn

[tropic halo]

That's why I said to get an adult to make it for you with their info until you're of age
PayPal is very strict about these and will freeze your account if they find out you're a minor. So be careful

Used my mom's info on my PayPal for quite some time

But just use all of her identification and stuff so you can make sure everything is valid

[blissful sonnet]

ah ok!

yeah imma ask mom to give me her passport for this and information

[tropic halo]

@blissful sonnet did you set up your terms?

[blissful sonnet]

as in like the images you posted? terms and services?

i have a rough draft but havent officially gone over some things as of yet

looking through the art server to see how they did it

[tropic halo]

Ah ok

[warm finch]

Nae is super helpful!!!!

Trust nae with art stuff and commissions

[lament turtle]

In that case.

@tropic halo if possible, could you give me some tips? It's my 5th pixel art ever made.

Still practicing.

[exotic snow]

I'm definitely asking nae if I ever do open comms in the ... absolutely not-near future

[warm finch]

I also got very good help from a server she invited me to

It’s like, super super good and detailed

[tropic halo]

I'm sorry but I don't do pixel art
Can't really help you there but iiirc there's a while server dedicated to pixel art
Teaching and learning
Just look it up
I think the link it somewhere on reddit

[tropic halo]

That's where I learnt everything

They're all very helpful

[warm finch]

YEs

I 100% agree

[lament turtle]

Oh alright, no worries.

[warm finch]

Really thank you nae

[lament turtle]

Thank you.

[tropic halo]

Always happy to spread the little knowledge I have

[exotic snow]

Nae I'm looking forward to seeing your entry for the event 👀 if you're participating that is!

[tropic halo]

I'm gonna try and enter if I have the time

Hopefully I don't forget or something

[warm finch]

If nae enters she’s gon win-

[exotic snow]

Yesss

[tropic halo]

That's not true

I've entered every event since Christmas 2019 and I've never won

Then again my art used to look like this

So maybe I have a chance this time around

[exotic snow]

I'm betting half me earnings that you win this time

[tropic halo]

Watch my dumbass forget to submit something

[warm finch]

I’m betting an aggressive hug that you win this time with your current art style and experience

[exotic snow]

meanwhile im going to polish my painting skills

and im heavily stressing myself for this art contest for some unknown reason

[warm finch]

Just give it your all

[exotic snow]

I've got a lot of ideas but I'm not sure if I can execute it well with my current skill level

[lament turtle]

@exotic snow just do what I do.

You can always try.

If it fails, acknowledge why.

And then improve on it.

I once started this.

[exotic snow]

Mhmm, I reckon I'm gonna do ~4 drafts before I get to the final thing

[lament turtle]

Later on cancelled since I couldn't do shapes and shadows.

So I've worked on it, and now I'm here. Still not perfect, but way better.

[exotic snow]

Time to grab more references~

[lament turtle]

Good luck!!

[exotic snow]

It's always good to improve!

[lament turtle]

Indeed!

[fluid anchor]

Improvement comes only through time and effort. Yes, cheesy, but it's true.

So keep moving and you'll get there. ^-^

[tropic halo]

i have a whole channel in a private server filled with references

[fluid anchor]

gib me

[tropic halo]

one thing you can do is look at people that do pixel art with styles you like and break down their work

[fluid anchor]

I n e d

[tropic halo]

that way you an find out what they do that makes their art looks the way it does

its very helpful

[lament turtle]

And I fully agree!

[lament turtle]

Thanks for the tip!

[sick rose]

Does anyone have the sprites for every character? I’m doing art using the original sprites and all I can find are modded sprites which I don’t want

[tropic halo]

you can just get em from the game files

the folks in #making-mods-general can help you out

[young harbor]

Anyways

[young bloom]

What’s ur favorite thing to do creativity idk

[lament turtle]

1-bit pixel art.

I've made 6 pieces so far, all of them are in #creative.

Tomorrow I'll go to the real job.

[young bloom]

Cool I never tried that lol

[lament turtle]

I'll try to make something like this.

[winged remnant]

oh I've never seen 1 bit pixel art before, that looks cool

[lament turtle]

It is.

It's just black and white.

Yet somehow still fascinating in my opinion.

[spiral gale]

i gave one of my ocs away to someone and it was an old drawing,, weve been talking and im friends w that person now and i drew the oc for them c:

this is the old drawing if anyones wonderin,,

[silver relic]

omgggg these look amazing!!! in love with your style

[spiral gale]

thank you

[silver relic]

[exotic snow]

oooo can i join ? 😳

[tropic halo]

id say yes but theres a lot of things there for my eyes only

[exotic snow]

🙈🙈oh ok understandable

[spiral gale]

nae has secrets

[mossy leaf]

oh damn having an entire server for references is smart

[spiral gale]

i hate myself

[mossy leaf]

long doggo

[silver relic]

wait that’s like actually a really good idea 😳😳

[exotic snow]

honestly yeah, i just created my own too

[mighty bronze]

mom come pick me up I'm scared

[daring zealot]

A sketch of Sebastian in his room

[daring zealot]

Finished the lineart, I’ll probably finish the drawing tomorrow

[lament turtle]

Does the star look like a Star Fruit?

[echo mesa]

it doesnt rly make me specifically think star fruit, but idk how it could be more obviously star fruit tbh
all three lil icons are very cute tho

[lament turtle]

Thank youu.

I mean, maybe I should make it a cave carrot or something.

[lament turtle]

@echo mesa this is to test if it's clear to see. What is this?

Hold up.

The fuck.

1 moment.

[echo mesa]

weirdly shaped chicken nugget with a bit of corn sticking out

[lament turtle]

It copy pasted wrong.

[high cedar]

buneh eg

[lament turtle]

Give me a moment.

Layers are stupid.

.

What the fuck.

Why are those weird icons there.

[echo mesa]

im guessing my guess was wrong then

[lament turtle]

I'll do it this way.

[echo mesa]

parsnip

[lament turtle]

YES.

THANK GOD.

IT'S CLEAR.

[echo mesa]

yay ;D

[lament turtle]

Thank you.

[high cedar]

straw berry

[lament turtle]

.

Since when are your strawberries that pointy.

Oh well, at least they're both in-game so it works out.

[high cedar]

it looks like 1

[lament turtle]

Strawberries are more mirrored.

[echo mesa]

looks more parsnip than stawberry
especially in the context of Stardew

[lament turtle]

And the leaves have smooth curves.

Now the fun begins.. The main drawing itself.

[high cedar]

that still looks like a strawberry

[lament turtle]

Doesn't matter.

They're both in game.

So it's fine.

[tropic halo]

It's not just for references
I store a lot of stuff there
I've just made a category with different channels that have different kinds of references

I had a thing sketched out for my event entry but I might just scrap the while thing

[silver relic]

nae, is it just like a private server for yourself? :00

[tropic halo]

Yeah

I put all the emotes I steal from other people in there

There's emotes if my friendsv faces in there

[mossy leaf]

I also have a private server where I dump random stuff into it and I never thought of using it as a place to keep references

[tropic halo]

Lots of art stuff

0ictures of some documents for easy access

And a music bot so I can vibe by myself

[grand cave]

I have a private server for references too! Emote theft, testing stuff, organisation, pinning messages, saving links, reminders etc

[tropic halo]

Hell yeah
Private server gang

My server also has Uber in it
So I can do quick searches and reminders

[lament turtle]

Do the Admins check #creative and use the Leah bot theirself to pin art pieces there, or do you have to DM Leah for it to send like the Admins, just like Bouncer?

[grand cave]

Staff pin stardew valley related artwork to #art-gallery themselves! DM’ing leah won’t do anything
Leah dies a lot
So we be patient with her

[lament turtle]

Alright, thanks a lot!

And I don't mind if it gets pinned or not, I was just curious about how it worked.

[lucid arch]

I am sorry to derail anything, but I have an artost im trying to find, and I only have one of their omages to go off of. Would it be okay to post it to get some help?

The water mark says leechrisart, but any website I have found that name on I cannot contact them further. Would they possibly be in this discord?

[storm meadow]

Have you done reverse image search?

[warm finch]

?

I found their Instagram pretty easily, is this the artist you’re looking for?

[storm meadow]

Exact name

[warm finch]

They did do some stardew art

So i think it is them?

[lucid arch]

Aye! And yeah!

[warm finch]

There you go

[lucid arch]

I think that might be my best bet. Thank you!

[valid thunder]

this was the first good attempt on drawing side ways tbh

[velvet sun]

just a quick sketch

[spiral gale]

mmmmmm furry

[spiral gale]

WDYM QUICK THAT LOOKS RLLY PRETTY?? shit like that would take me hOu rs

[spiral gale]

thats a good attempt tho :0c

[velvet sun]

i mean,, foor me quick qould be like 1-2 hours

hhhhh bush

[lament turtle]

(gore content) to a friend's novel :>

[glad lava]

Eyy, I like that a lot!

[blissful sonnet]

PREETYY WTF

[wheat nimbus]

If I were to do a farmersona thing, what would I have to put on it?

[echo mesa]

like, in what context?
just a general farmersona?
or like, drawing it for the contest?

[wheat nimbus]

Just in general.

[echo mesa]

then no rules, you can find a template to fill out info
but theres nothing really Required for a farmersona

https://www.deviantart.com/stardew-valley/gallery/58048821/featured
^ three different template things, but using one isnt smething you have to do

[mossy leaf]

hand hurt

[echo mesa]

ooooo
looks amazing tho

tfw want to draw but too tired

[mossy leaf]

mood

[echo mesa]

[fossil helm]

i like this one hand i did so i feel compelled to share it here

[spice patrol]

Hand!

[fossil helm]

indeed

[royal hazel]

I'm here to ask one question- the most important question, people have been asking for years, nobody seems to have an answer. And that question is- How the hell do you make good looking 16 x 16 tiled dirt (._.)

[remote wedge]

like, pixel art dirt? I'm not really a pixel artist but I've attempted pixel art a few times, and having an idea of the color palette you plan on sticking with helps a lot. Doesn't hurt to look at other people's attempts for reference or inspiration either.

[steel spruce]

Wacom tablet arrived

[grand cave]

Woop woop 🙌
Hope you like it!

[exotic snow]

oooooo lemme know what u think after u test it out~

[velvet sun]

ghjdfgdfh I did my colouring on the same layer as the lineart-

whoopsies

either way, grass

[mossy leaf]

I love the shading

I really need to work on my colouring and shading

[exotic snow]

pain 😔

[fluid anchor]

Wip of my character Asriel against a Void Shaman because Marlonovania seemed like a part of a Stardew Valley Anime and now I'm making actual scenes

[steel spruce]

thanks Zoe, yeah its definitely a lot better than using a mouse with the wrong hand. I just have to get used to using a tablet.

[grand cave]

Oh definitely, it can take a while to adjust to it, especially being a non screened tablet but you’ll get there in the end
Doing basic warmup exercises to get your eyes adjusted to it is a good way to start if you weren’t already doing so
Repeated circles over and over, straight lines and squiggly lines as close together as you can get them etc

[steel spruce]

yeah those are great tips Zoe, i also have to fiddle around with the sensitivity

[mossy leaf]

please someone remove my hands

might redo the tree log on the left and the rock on the left since it looks off

[echo mesa]

[exotic snow]

im here cheering you on @mossy leaf !!!! ❤️

[tropic halo]

i ored a new tablet too
just dont know when tf its gonna get heere
but i got the huion kamvas 16

also that looks very pog micko

nice colours

[exotic snow]

t-the 4k one??

[tropic halo]

https://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Monitor-Full-Laminated-Battery-Free-Adjustable/dp/B07RXZC12J/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=huion+kamvas&qid=1618149752&s=pc&sr=1-1

[azure night]

Huion KAMVAS Pro 16 Graphics Drawing Tablet with Full-Laminated Screen Tilt Battery-Free Stylus Touch Bar Adjustable Stand- 15.6 Inches Pen Display | with a 4.6/5 rating (1,721 reviews)

[tropic halo]

this one

[exotic snow]

damn thats the same size as my pc monitor

👀 lemme know if its good plssss

cant believe its the same price as my current wacom tho

what a deal

[tropic halo]

what tablet do you have now?

[exotic snow]

wacom one

[tropic halo]

oo ive seen that around

funnily enough the tablet i have rn is the one by wacom

its like the wacom one but its smaller cheaper (only 60 bucks) has no screen and a wonky ish pen
so essentially its nothing like the wacom one

no idea why they have such simillar names

[exotic snow]

lmaooo yeah i wondered why too

[tropic halo]

the wacom one is a lot small then i thoguht tho
i thought it was 15 inches

the kamvas 16 was the biggest thing i could find under 400
i wanna move up from my tiny ass tablet to something massive

[exotic snow]

hmm yeah tbh now that im used to it, its a little small; but considering my laptop screen is only 15" its enough for now
my old screenless tablet was the real tiny one tho

[tropic halo]

yeah my current one is barely bigger than my palm

cant wait to have a bigger area to work on

[fossil helm]

I have the exact same tablet 😳 👌 👌 👌

[mossy leaf]

soon I will burn my hand

still have a lot to do

once I finish the colouring I have to do the shading

[lament turtle]

That looks very awesome!!

Amazing job!!

[mossy leaf]

I wish I could just manually numb my hand

[lament turtle]

Heh.

[solid stag]

ohh that background looks awesome

[foggy grotto]

that water tho

[balmy venture]

this is gonna be a pain to line

[gleaming mauve]

where can i find a place to make pixel art, does photoshop have it or gimp? what are yall suggestions

[lament turtle]

Anything.

Though I use GIMP.

[gleaming mauve]

okie ty

[velvet sun]

so um i may or may not have used 81 layers

[tropic halo]

you can make pixel art in any program that supports transparency

just find a binary brush or one with no texture or shape
put it to one pixel
find a small canvas
and start working

[flint quiver]

seb in spring (not a sub for art contest)

[stuck robin]

aww!

[blissful sonnet]

micko, im in love AHHHH

looking forward to seeingthe finished one!!

[warm finch]

2 more days and i can start working on the event art!!!

[mighty bronze]

[lament turtle]

man i am hesitant to post my sims stuff in creative bc y'all might think that wasn't art djdjjdls

anyways is it allowed tho??

[exotic snow]

hmm if its your creation then anything goes

[mighty bronze]

^

[grand cave]

As long as it’s truly creative, has work put into it and is not spammy I don’t see why not? You can always dm bouncer to ask
If you wanna spam a bunch of them at once it’d probably be better for #images-and-memes though

[woven panther]

I see I can share more than SV art :3

Also made this for another SV server

[urban minnow]

I love the colors in them! The first one's lighting is gorgeous

[woven panther]

Thanks, I have to work in that

[spiral gale]

Holy fuck the vibe from the first pic is awesome

[strange pumice]

I drew a quick sketch

[silver relic]

wowww this is gorgeous

[spiral gale]

HEY I FINALLY DREW HUMANS AGAIN

ignore the preview thingy i didnt know what to use as watermark

[warm finch]

huggghnnhg i love your lineart

[spiral gale]

my lineart loves u 2

[warm finch]

my boyfriend asked me to draw guns on our matching icons so here's one done

[gleaming mauve]

Just some progress on my art contest sub

Any tips?

[lament turtle]

Some roots can be longer/make weird curves/bumps.

It'll look more realistic and sturdy.

[gleaming mauve]

Okie!

[warm finch]

you can look at tree references

[lament turtle]

And if you want it to have a creepy vibe, you could add an axe/holes in the tree.

Like it's been cut.

[warm finch]

spring halloween

[gleaming mauve]

Hmm I’m going for cutesy thx

[lament turtle]

Doesn't look at cute right now.

[warm finch]

i don't think creepy vibes fit the theme that well tho XD

[lament turtle]

For that you might want it to be straight.

[warm finch]

ok whoa

[gleaming mauve]

Yeah no leaves yet

[lament turtle]

Instead of bend over.

[warm finch]

well i agree

[gleaming mauve]

Oop

[lament turtle]

I did an horror bunny for #827753252010983434 and it got accepted.

😎

It was an accident.

[warm finch]

XD

[gleaming mauve]

No worries lol

[lament turtle]

Yet it did get accepted.

[warm finch]

because we all like horror after all

[lament turtle]

Yes.

[warm finch]

who says it's gotta be autumn to be halloween

[lament turtle]

The shading made it horror.

LMAO.

[warm finch]

(australia does halloween in spring)

[lament turtle]

See? Proud creator.

[lament turtle]

Odd.

Also that's when my 1-bit art still really sucked.

[lament turtle]

@gleaming mauve ^

You could use that pic Butter sent.

As a reference.

[warm finch]

OH

[gleaming mauve]

I saw that too

[lament turtle]

Weeping is mood.

Just sad.

[warm finch]

weeping is actually very pretty in a way

[lament turtle]

It's raining leaves slow motion.

[warm finch]

XD

[gleaming mauve]

I’m going for yoshino with more leaves

[lament turtle]

Recommend that as well.

[warm finch]

go ahead! same as well

[lament turtle]

Best of luck!

Also who keeps messing with chat cooldown.

I swear.

[gleaming mauve]

Thanks for all the help

[warm finch]

np

[lament turtle]

Any time.

[warm finch]

always know that references are really helpful and never hesitate to use them!

[lament turtle]

Same for feedback. ^

Don't ever be affraid to ask for opinions.

OK I SWEAR WHAT ADMIN KEEPS MESSING WITH THIS COOLDOWN.

REVEAL YOURSELF!

[warm finch]

:0?

[lament turtle]

It goes from 0, 3, 1, 0, 5, 1, 3.

[warm finch]

the chat cd goes longer when there are more people talking

[humble lava]

cooldown is adaptive based on the activity in the channel

[lament turtle]

Oh.

Stupid.

:(

[warm finch]

it's actually smart in a way lol

[lament turtle]

No.

Now I can't raid.

[warm finch]

eh..

[lament turtle]

I mean chat properly. 👀

Nah for real I ain't raiding or smth.

[warm finch]

unless you want an angy junimo with a knife

[lament turtle]

Yes.

[humble lava]

junimos don't angry. They simply perform what tasks that they must.

"It's nothing personal, Farmer"

[gleaming mauve]

[velvet sun]

tree is kill

[tropic halo]

Very nice

[gleaming mauve]

May I have some feedback on my sakura tree sketch?

[silver relic]

it looks good so far!! are u going to put watercolor over it?

[gleaming mauve]

that or digital art

not sure yet ;w;

[silver relic]

i might make the roots and ends of branches slightly less knobbly/round?

ah i see, it would look nice with watercolor ^^

[gleaming mauve]

okie and good idea

[silver relic]

maybe that’s just imo though. i hate drawing nature digitally 😣😣

[gleaming mauve]

fair lol

[silver relic]

hmmm now they look kinda too spiky.... did you use a reference photo?*

[gleaming mauve]

yes a lot of them.. and then made them my own style

[silver relic]

i see, well i’m going to assume this sharp look is prob not what u were wanting lol. i think the roundness fits sakura trees better, but maybe leave a few spiky ones in there????

[gleaming mauve]

great idea, i also need to add the leaves in..

[silver relic]

yes yes, they’ll prob cover up the tips anyway so maybe just disregard everything i said lol

[gleaming mauve]

nah ty tho this is good practice

[silver relic]

yw, sorry if i couldnt really help

[gleaming mauve]

no worries, and how should i add the color with water color

im new to art n stuff lol
