#

I want to draw something on this phone but how do people do that

#

It's a phone screen

reef bridge
#

Magic

woeful olive
#

I mean a tablet thing is easier

formal timber
#

woeful olive
#

Your finger is big and covers up the screen

wheat dagger
#

I have a secret to drawing on phones...

reef bridge

I'm excited to wip up stuff @formal timber

somber comet
#

Is it a stylus?

wheat dagger
#

Nope!

woeful olive
#

Don't

formal timber
#

black magic

wheat dagger
#

So basically what you do is this...

-draw your picture out on a piece of paper, important it must be sharpie or another type of dark thick pen.

-take a picture of the drawing with your phone

-edit the contrast/exposure/saturation so it's only white and black, no light artifacts

-import the picture to a painting app, then use the "fill" funtion. From there just shade it and ta da!

reef bridge
#

Fgs this is honestly the most energy draining thing I have made

#

So many layers

Balanced it out by losing all my limbs

formal timber
#

woeful olive
#

I have :v

wheat dagger
#

Ok i'm going to actually start a new piece. Should be done in a few hours

stark imp
#

Awesome, looking forward to it

woeful olive
#

I've done like 4 things

#

L m a o

stark imp
#

I don't want role but if people toss zoid hybrid ideas at me I will sharpie them fastly

formal timber
#

yea i know lol, im just saying continue to do it

woeful olive
#

Zoidog

formal timber
#

zoid head but it has a zoid head for a head

wheat dagger
#

Also I never thought i'd say this, and I know it's ironic coming from me, but I think we should keep shitposting to a minumum here. Joking is cool tho

woeful olive
#

Yes

stark imp
#

Oh I agree

woeful olive
#

Metoo

wheat dagger
#

I like joking

stark imp
#

Also I meant Zoid-NMS creature hybrids

woeful olive
#

Shitposters love art

stark imp
#

So it's still on topic

wheat dagger
#

Also i'll look into maybe commissioning certain pieces. All free of course

formal timber
#

spaceship but the cockpit is a zoid head

woeful olive
#

Haha

stark imp
#

Okay that'll take a bit longer but on it

wheat dagger
#

Like, if someone wants me to draw x I can probably do it

#

Im bored most of the time

woeful olive
#

Wow draw me :v

#

Lmao

narrow osprey
#

so i just got a 3d printer, and the first thing i completely modeled myself was this:

woeful olive
#

Nice

wheat dagger
#

That's sweet

woeful olive
#

I was waiting for you to post that

#

Because i remember you saying about ut

wheat dagger
#

I really want a 3d printer πŸ€”

narrow osprey
#

honestly they're way cheaper than i anticipated now

woeful olive
#

Yea tey will be

wheat dagger
#

Yeah the market has gotten way better

#

Literally a few years ago -nope

#

I hope they become more and more mainstream

woeful olive
#

Yes

#

And vr

#

I want to be able to buy them

wheat dagger
#

Hmmm so what should I draw. I've already done planet side freighters, player models, and crashed space stations

#

I think just a pretty landscape will suffice

narrow osprey
#

orb

#

not even joking, i imagine shading that would be an interesting challenge πŸ€”

wheat dagger
#

I would die

#

Orbs aren't insanely hard. It'd just take a lot of time to get it to look right

woeful olive
#

Just do a circle and ayy Preston garvey you're done

#

(I typed Presto but my phone decided on that)

somber comet
woeful olive

narrow osprey

wheat dagger
#

Damn, having fun i'd assume?

#

I tinkered with a 3d printer in school for a bit

#

It was a really shitty one tho

narrow osprey
#

when it's been working it's been great

#

so much fine tuning needed

wheat dagger
#

What model?

narrow osprey
#

Monoprice MP Select Mini v2

#

so one of the vastly easier ones to get into to my understanding

wheat dagger
#

Smart move

narrow osprey
#

the backside of that print looks like ass though because of the supports lol

#

ok they said the comment was a joke

wheat dagger
#

I have an urge to put my head through one of the holes

#

Woops better put a nsfw tag on that πŸš”

narrow osprey
#

imagine if discord had a nsfw tag lol

wheat dagger
#

Lmao. But yeah, I think I said it before but I was thinking of doing weekly flora/fauna concept art

#

To see what I can come up with

narrow osprey
#

until we all get our hands on Next and never stop playing GWnanamiTsukihiSmile

wheat dagger
#

NEXT will allow for a lot more cool art tho 😏

narrow osprey

When's the deadline?

#

@steel ginkgo thanks! Glad you liked it

#

I was definitely trying to go for that "70s faded weird" look

stark imp
#

Does it count as No Man's Art if I recorded myself practicing a song on guitar but I likely had NMS running while I was recording πŸ€”

wheat dagger
#

That's art πŸ€”

#

Hmmm idk

stark imp

but not nms related πŸ€”

formal timber
woeful olive
#

yes

#

music is art

wheat dagger
#

Because I feel like there's a gray area

formal timber
#

@wheat dagger define photo manipulation

#

as in, like editing your screenshots?

wheat dagger
#

Pretty much, yeah

formal timber
#

bc they're still NMS, just tweaked

#

same category as applying filters in photo mode

wheat dagger
#

True enough

#

πŸ‘

reef bridge
#

I am trying to make this look as close to No Man's Sky as I can

#

What am I doing wrong?

reef bridge
#

Any better?

stark imp
#

The one from the concept art has glass on the very top as well

#

And the visor is like a motorcycle visor, it slides down or up depending on if you want it over your eyes or not

reef bridge

Could you send me link?

#

I need a reminder as to what the suit looks like

bleak pivot

Np lol yea they took the least amount of time

#

Literally watercolour

#

From light to dark

narrow osprey
#

really? huh, i would've figured the more abstract nature of them would be harder.

bleak pivot
#

No not necessarily

#

The green one took 30 mins

#

And the orange/red one took 2 hours

narrow osprey
#

dang

bleak pivot
#

The green one is A4 sized lol that's probably why it took less than the A2

#

XD

reef bridge

lol

#

When it was announced that the poll were opened I just rushed this

#

No way I would've finished my good submission in time

#

Its so bad

Where did you submit it?

On Reddit

Which thread

reef bridge
#

The one where you announced the polls had just started I think

molten shell

Huh. Can you DM it to me Please?

I'll add it now before I go to work

So yiur good dude

I'll check that out and submit my art work

#

Link to thread?

#

Actually lol Nvm it's in voting phase XD

molten shell
#

There's a 43 vote difference between the 1st and 2nd places

#

The contest ends if a 50 vote difference is made because at that point it's sort of a moot point

lapis bough
#

I probably got 2 votes GWcorbinTopKek

wheat dagger
#

Nah famalam

#

There were honestly a ton of much better, much more talented people anyway

wheat dagger

Everyone has their own art style

#

And some people like other art styles better

Yours was amazing in it's kind of art style

#

I loved it

lol its really hard to say

I think we all know who got the 61 though

woeful olive
#

maths?

reef bridge
#

Of course

#

His was truly outstanding

#

Oh heck

#

I'd laugh if mine was the lowest vote XD

#

Which it probably is

Its so easy to think your own art is the worst out of the lot

Regardless I don't really mind how many votes I get. It was just fun to actually enter πŸ˜„

If you don't mind me asking, what's your setup?

crisp scarab
#

Ey thanks @wheat dagger, I paint on a cintiq 22hd. Also use a wacom tablet when on the move.

wheat dagger
#

Damn, I want to get into the medium so bad but it seems really hard to approach

#

Like, all the costs for equipment if you want to do things right

#

Craiglist

#

Still expensive as all hell

#

For me

#

It's still expensive you're right

#

But it's cheaper than buying it retail

#

Or brand new

#

Dude

#

I'm broke

#

Oh

#

πŸ˜•

#

Like, that's why all my art is pencil. The medium of poor people

#

Lmao

#

Get a job GWcorbinHolyFuck

#

I'm going to have to because I'm leaving home

#

Ah

molten shell
#

You haven't had a job before now?

crisp scarab
#

Just start off with a cheaper tablet, don't need anything too expensive. You can probably find a decent, cheaper digital painting program

#

But you can do a lot of good with traditional tools. There are concept artists who stick to traditional

wheat dagger
#

@molten shell i've had a part-time job before but never full-time because i've been busy with school.

#

Rayrod, isnt that more of a #nms-modding channel thing rather than art?

coarse compass
#

Nah, it's art.

#

People express art in different ways.

sour birch
#

i guess?

coarse compass
#

I see it no differently as fan art, or just art. Some people like to paint creative fan art, in inspiration of HelloGames. Others differently. I paint in-game.

#

It's a replication of concept art, being painted in-game.

#

Or fan art.

#

Therefore it's art lol

sour birch
#

If its in game and you took a picture of it it's a screenshot -_-

coarse compass
#

I use paintings, and different visual things as concepts and then handcraft/paint it in-game in real time.

#

Which is a form of art.

#

Whether it be a screenshot or not.

#

In the same way that some people here have taken in-game screenshots, and re-painted it digitally

#

Let it go

wheat dagger
#

It’s art, sure, but there are specific channels dedicated to the art.

sour birch
#

^^^

coarse compass
#

By that logic, those who have taken in-game screenshots and painted it digitally with 3rd party software (should also apply to this)

#

Because I am painting the game with 3rd party software.

#

The only thing that has any resemblance is the fact that it's a screenshot (which is the exact same thing) - Yet, it's a painting in-game

#

Which is art.

#

This is No Man's Sky related and it's something of my doing. (So, let's follow the pin of the channel) unless a mod says otherwise: @narrow silo @wheat dagger

narrow silo
#

Hm? What's up?

sour birch
#

Screenshots have their own dedicated channel regardless of if it could be considered art or not

wheat dagger
#

I actually think it would fit modding better than screenshots lol

#

since you're modding stuff people have made into the game

sour birch
#

i guess GWakkOshrug

lapis bough
#

i was thinking of posting my Waking Titan manga cover but whatever

coarse compass
#

@narrow silo I look at visual concepts, paintings, and fan art and then paint it in-game in real time with 3rd party software

#

I also take images from outside of my house and do the same.

narrow silo
#

Oh, you're using the game to effectively make art by applying filters and effects and such.

coarse compass
#

In the same way, some users have taken in-game screenshots and re-painted it digitally with 3rd party software

#

No filters.

#

I'm basically painting into the game, and replicating art, some photos that I have taken, and other things

#

Like, using different things as concepts

#

Or simply what I see in my mind as a gameplay design artist.

narrow silo
#

Just the general same concept though. Either way - it seems fine for #no-mans-art. They are artistic in nature, and I don't think they are "just" screenshots anymore. It can honestly fit in either place, but I think it's fine here as well.

coarse compass
#

It's NMS related, and they are screenshots

#

But tagging it as modded is a proper courtesy

narrow silo
#

Augmenting the game and using screenshots to make art is still art, and heavy effort is still put into making these pieces.

coarse compass
woeful olive
#

Why do you keep inserting the images, we know what you are on about

coarse compass
#

That's the full album, which I have not shared here.

#

Adding onto my original post.

#

Am I not allowed to do that?

woeful olive
#

You just keep reposting them images

coarse compass
#

🀦 That is not a repost.

narrow silo
#

That said, it's a community channel and overall decision. For now I'll let them stick around because I don't see any issue (see above), but I will be asking the other mods for a more unified opinion.

sour birch
#

you uh, already posted the same image like 3 times already

coarse compass
#

It's a full album post (which happens to have the same image as the cover)

#

Which is different.

#

The second time that I posted the image, was in response to a moderator (to provide context to a question that was asked).

#

That wasn't for you.

wheat dagger
#

@lapis bough post your manga cover

#

I'm interested

lapis bough
#

when this dies down

narrow silo
#

Anyways all of you chill and enjoy the pretty pictures and hard work of everyone else :)

Mod team is alerted and we will probably have a more in depth discussion later about screenshots as art. For now though, less talk more pics :p

Honestly, I was expecting this kind of convo to go down.

#

Moving on from it now

woeful olive
#

Can we remove that, I can't see the art

somber comet
#

It's Art, it's the same as taking a screenshot and then replicating it with watercolours. It's handcrafted carefully. It's the difference between some bloke with an iphone taking a picture of something, and a professional photographer carefully framing and taking a picture of the same thing.

wheat dagger
#

I mean, I'm still kinda confused on what he means by painting it

coarse compass
#

Feel free to ask πŸ˜›

wheat dagger
#

okay... what do you mean by painting it 😜

coarse compass
#

I'm always willing to elaborate

wheat dagger
#

like

#

what's a bit of the process

fast cosmos
#

but it's not handcrafted is it if it's procedural generation

coarse compass
#

@fast cosmos I'd like to elaborate on that as well, because there's a misconception (in regard to that) - Because HelloGame's vanilla biomes are handcrafted with procedural rules.

#

Writing to expand atm

fast cosmos
#

sure this is in art form but i thought this channel was specifically for fan artists. there is already a channel for modding, screenshots and no mans sky. i don't see the point in posting here when he's gonna do it in every other channel too

somber comet
#

Subjects are hardly ever handcrafted in art Ryan. It's the process of turning the subject into a piece of art that makes it art.

fast cosmos
#

sure nyx but there is already channels for this

#

his whole post was just a bit advert for his mod lol

somber comet
#

The channel for art

fast cosmos
#

do whatever the fuck you want but if i start posting screenshots in here i'm telling you it's fuckin art

coarse compass
#

What I do is 'Fan art', inspired by HelloGames like anyone else here... also, as a gameplay design artist (at heart) - and I re-create what I am visualizing in-game exactly as it is in photos, paintings, or in my mind.

#

That is art.

#

It's bringing creativity and expression into manifestation as you see it.

somber comet
#

If your screenshots have a level of artistic process then yes, if they're straight screenshots without any artistic design they're for #nms-photomode-gallery

coarse compass
#

That's exactly what people do, when they paint things.

somber comet
#

^

fast cosmos
#

so@you're telling me taking a screenshot of the ign footage and then showing a screenshot of space is art lol

woeful olive
#

So if my screenshots are from a good angle it's art?

somber comet
#

Ryan those were reference screenshots

#

and you know damn well that's what they were

wheat dagger
#

he had to do a level of editing ingame to match the shots he showed as a reference

coarse compass
#

And to be fair, why is it that someone else here was able to take a screenshot in-game, and then digitally paint a replication of it... and none of you said a word about it?

#

Yet, I do the same exact thing in reverse

somber comet
#

Exactly

fast cosmos
#

sure art is subjective but jesus fucking christ there is already THree OTHER CHANNELS FOR THIS SHIT

coarse compass
#

And you have something to say?

#

That's called bias.

#

Because it's 'RaYRoD'

somber comet
#

Agreed.

wheat dagger
#

not necessarily. some people might've just not seen it

woeful olive
#

But yea there are 2 other channels...

coarse compass
#

9 people hearted it.

#

A lot of people commented on it.

#

Of course people saw it.

#

And props to the artist

wheat dagger
#

depends if they're the people messaging here

fast cosmos
#

9 people@is not a reflection of this server

coarse compass
#

They did a great job with their replication

#

Regardless of numbers, that's not the point.

#

It's art, and you can't refute that

somber comet
#

Ryan, Kev. It's art, so far the mod team is in agreement with Ray's statement and justification of it being art.

fast cosmos
#

time to mute this shitty channel then

somber comet
#

Please by all means, go ahead.

coarse compass
#

All that I see is a bit of obnoxous behavior here and there.

lapis bough
#

Then if I apply this logic, am I able to post fan work (handpainted drawings) in screenshots?

coarse compass
#

In the midst of great artists who post frequently here.

woeful olive
#

Can we at least not get a paragraph with every screenshot ray posts like in the other channels? Thanks

coarse compass
#

Yet, I do what someone else does... and I get attacked. πŸ˜›

somber comet
#

Expand Whale?

#

I don't think I understood the question

coarse compass

Ironically, by a certain select people who follow me around and do that (like they do here).

wheat dagger

goddamn why did I choose this username that confused the hell out of me

coarse compass

But, it's whatever lol

somber comet

Sorry Expand πŸ˜›

nah it's good lol

coarse compass

Anyway, sorry Expand. Responding to your question about the method now

woeful olive

Nice art

#

3d printed ship

narrow silo
#

It's simple, people.

A screenshot you take of a cool planet -> #nms-photomode-gallery

A screenshot you take two hours getting the perfect lighting, angle, camera, postprocessing, etc -> here.

fast cosmos
#

yup

lapis bough
#

Drawings are clearly inspired by NMS, represents future or existing content in-game, and also requires largely handcrafted effort. In that case, wouldn't drawings be permitted in #nms-photomode-gallery?

somber comet
#

Oh no, the drawings would belong here Whale

coarse compass
#

@fast cosmos, @woeful olive This community is too small, for people to be biting at each other.

wheat dagger
#

no because screenshots are direct rips of the game

somber comet
#

@fast cosmos stop being obnoxious

woeful olive
#

Why was ryans thing deleted :(

somber comet

Because it didn't belong here

a 3d printer ship??

lol at this rate I'm very confused on all sides

woeful olive

a no mans sky 3d printer ship?

wheat dagger
#

well that was done with internal post processing, correct? so would that still be allowed here then

narrow silo
#

You are all being intentionally argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. We've made it clear (now) that artistic merit in screenshots makes them eligible for this channel.

formal timber
#

@fast cosmos to be fair my dude, the subject of the picture isn't the ship

woeful olive
#

Lmao

fast cosmos
#

neither were rays screenshots, they were to promote his mod but they're still allowed here aren't they?

coarse compass
#

They weren't to promote my fan project of art.

#

I was sharing art that I made.

lapis bough
#

@wheat dagger perfect lighting, angle, camera, which allows for me to post my carefully crafted screenshots here dab

coarse compass
#

Because it's fit for this channel.

narrow silo
#

@lapis bough I mean, yeah, if you put actual artistic work into a screenshot, then I welcome it here.

somber comet
#

You said it took a long time to perfect Whale

fast cosmos
somber comet
#

That is a nice 3d-printed ship

woeful olive
#

Deleted

lapis bough
#

Yes, I can say that I put effort in the angle

coarse compass
#

@wheat dagger Okay, so... (to answer your question, since you were curious)... what I do is take photos outside of the sky above my house, look to old photo's that I've taken in different countries when traveling; or look at fan art, concept arts, sci-fi covers, pre-release footages... and then I hack the executable in real-time and paint in-game with RGB color palettes in specific spots (prior to saving those values), and then (re-writing it in XML) - prior to re-writing it in python.

#

And sometimes I have an image in my mind

#

And I paint it in-game

#

With colors

wheat dagger
#

I'm really curious on what you mean by painting

somber comet
#

That's actually infinitely more impressive than I expected

wheat dagger
#

oh wait

#

you mean like

coarse compass
#

I'm digitally painting into the game with code

#

It's like using photoshop, but with numbers and math

narrow silo
#

Also, let's be honest. Rayrod puts in a lot more effort than a standard screenshot, so it can hardly be considered a plain old screenshot anymore.

wheat dagger
#

so you change aspects of like the space and sky and blend specific colors to match references?

coarse compass
#

Yeah

wheat dagger
#

okay then yeah it belongs here

lapis bough
#

The definition of "art" in this case is extremely fluffy.. I request a formal rewrite of the channel description

wheat dagger
#

yeah, I saw that earlier. makes sense. I was just wondering what you meant by painting, but now I know.

my only concern is what the mods mean when they say artistic merit, since art really is a subjective thing. like, when the mods judge if a screenshot is fit, do they mean in the sense of how much work the author says they put into it, or how it looks? I'm just... confused on that part, I guess

somber comet
#

"For sharing NMS art pieces" is pretty self explanatory πŸ˜…

coarse compass
#

Well, to be fair... some people just make mods just to do it.
However, I always have a visual artistic concept in mind

lapis bough
#

Self-explanatory? Then why are we having this conversation?

narrow silo
#

@wheat dagger tbh we're confused too and trying to sort this out. This is a new situation to us.

coarse compass
#

It has to meet a certain standard for me to even consider sharing it.

somber comet
#

@lapis bough Because people love to argue apparently πŸ˜‚

formal timber
#

this channel was designed to be laid back, we really don't want to have to curate what gets put in here. it's meant to be wholesome fan-creation sharing

fast cosmos
#

i've made furry porn fan art of the game can i post?

wheat dagger
#

probably best to allow screenshots or to just not allow screenshots

formal timber
#

ryan pls

#

no

somber comet
#

Please do and I'll happily ban you for it

wheat dagger
#

not sure if a middle will be a good thing

coarse compass
#

Okay, so...

NMS the game itself is art. However, sometimes people even basebuild in-game artistically. I've seen some amazing stuff, like by Ray Reynolds for example.
Then there are people who digitally paint in-game screenshots with 3rd party software. Then there are people who may use 3rd party software to paint in-game. Then there are people who use 3rd party tools like photoshop and other stuff to draw/paint pictures.

#

In actuallity, it's the creative expressiveness and effort dispensed into the piece that makes it art.

wheat dagger
#

actually, yeah the base building stuff

#

fuck this is actually tricky then. you'd have to get really specific

formal timber
#

yeah my dude, we don't wanna regulate this channel. if you consider it art, it's likely art!

narrow silo
#

@wheat dagger the fact of the matter is that this is still a rather extreme case. I mean, rayrod goes all out altering game code to make these images; calling them a screenshot is more of a technicality.

formal timber
coarse compass
#

^

fast cosmos
#

but im@proud of every shot

wheat dagger
#

I'm actually not calling the images he made a screenshot. they're screenshots, but they contain things in them that fit here

somber comet
#

The arts are activities such as music, painting, literature, cinema, and dance, which people can take part in for enjoyment, or to create works which express serious meanings or ideas of beauty.

#

What Ray is doing is "painting" using the tools that the code of the .exe provides him

#

therefore, it would be considered, by definition, Art.

wheat dagger
#

Imo

#

oh wait you mean in a general sense I suppose. ech I'm lost. it's 4 am though

somber comet
#

Also just for the context of this whole argument

#

Please keep all criticism productive. πŸ˜‰

narrow silo
#

To clarify "what is art":

If you think your post is worthy of art and shows artistic merit, it's welcome here, no matter the format. While the mod team encourages you to use appropriate channels (like #nms-photomode-gallery), if you consider it art it probably fits here. Art is subjective, end of discussion.

As always, low level shitposts and attempts at trolling (or abusing this open policy) will end up with deletion of the content and a possible warning. Anything remotely sexually suggestive is not permitted in this guild, let alone channel.

coarse compass
#

Imagine if you were able to paint a photo with photoshop, but the visualized GUI was literally numbers instead of images

narrow silo
somber comet
#

wheat dagger
#

by unmodified, you mean by internal content, right...?

#

that's what I'm confused on

somber comet
#

Unmodified would for example be like

#

"Hey look at this ship!" click

woeful olive
#

What whale did?

wheat dagger
#

oh, okay

#

Like, a straight up unmodified screenshot @wheat dagger

fast cosmos
#

ahhh so modded screenshots go here got it

woeful olive
#

Yes

wheat dagger
#

Of vanilla NMS

fast cosmos
#

going to post all my modded screenshots in here from now n

wheat dagger
#

so something that is a screenshot but is, like, cinematic and stuff go here

coarse compass
#

Or someone could take a vanilla screenshot of NMS, and then post process it stylishly and post it here as well

somber comet
#

But modified would be "Hey, look at this ship where I got it from a certain angle, whilst using a combination of filters and depth of field to achieve the right effect."

wheat dagger

okay that makes more sense

Yes
