I wonder
did you ever consider a colonial counterpart?
or maybe I'm just blind and there already is one
wots a kolonial ?
There is a Colonial counterpart but she needs more love
da who
i don't now if it just me but she reminds of Tanya from saga of Tanya the evil in that image a good bitππ
YAS ikr
ya it was the fist thing that pop in into my head wean seeing it but as a wardenπ π
all you need now is the intro song now then your set lolπ
First true try drawing digital
Mighta messed right arm up ngl
@remote lynx yes, but i do only empire work
(accept commission and boring)
I didnt know ya did commisions >.>
How i draw face like that
practice! Theory!
basically, you draw a ball with a cone on the bottom. Then you draw a line in the middle of the cone/ball on the place where the middle of the face will be. Then you horizontally devide it in two and you have the positions for your eyes, then you split the bottom half in two and you have your mouth. Nose is ~1/5 of your face height, starting at the eye line. Eyebrows are ~1/12th up. Ears are mounted on the eye line, go up to your eyebrows and go down to the bottom of the nose line.
Start with a simple front facing face, draw that many times, then try other angles, check were it goes wrong using real life references, then try accenting it (by differing slightly from the drawing 'rules'), try emotions, try more complex angles, go ham
Drawing I found online with a very similar step set
but, most important of all, experiment!
see what differing from certain steps can give wacky effects
It seems like a lot at first, but you get fast quickly. Its just muscle memory
- draw two circles
- draw the rest of the owl

Shall I do a complete step by step tutorial for you? @remote lynx
Nah, I'd fuck that up too
Impossible
BET
bet
Step 1
Step 2
eyes are 1/5th in width, and the distance between the two eyes is the width of one eye
step 3
fill in shapes, add mouth on 1/3 from the middle line and eyebrows ~1/12th up
Step 4
Add ears and hair. The hair is a study on itself, but for now, the most important part is to know where the hair starts, which is 'highlighted' with the thicker lone I drew
@remote lynx now you
For those reading this, this is how I draw faces, but there are many other methods. Google a bit or ask around and see how other people do it! Do what suits you best. I actually rarely use this method as I can nowadays do it most often by eye, but that took like hundreds of drawings
kek
Step 2
Step 3: Hella scuffed
Step 4: Kill it with fire
Bonus: Attempted nose correction
/thread
Oh I love beedle from LoZ Wind Waker
;p
but see, its quite quick and some practice gives good results π @remote lynx
but did you really?
considering I was trying to copy yours? Yes.
Oh, but mine wasnt perfect either XD
and mine sucks even more >:(
nah
if you think you can learn something in one try, you ar emad
You can always draw machines if you don't wanna draw faces
It took me a dozen attempts to draw what you drew
nose too big, mouth not wide enough, lips too full, eyes too small, eyes too close to the nose bridge
that is all a matter of practice
draw a dozen of these, and they will be more refined
and this is a small drawing, any error of hand is magnified. Try drawing bigger!
for me it's the opposite. The bigger the drawing, the bigger the error
but is it error of hand, or an error of route? connecting two points is a skill on itself ofcourse
but sketching should help that
it's error of my hand not drawing what my mind's eye tells it to
with error of hand I mean jittering of a line π
but just stop whining and draw more
practice makes master

Every sentence you type here is a line you could have practiced! Stop reading my messages and draw another face!
It's already even more scuffed
I can't unscuff. I just scuff it again
yes you fucking can you dimwit
if you scuff it ten times, then the average is correct
If I scuff it ten times, the mean is still going to be scuffed
JUST DRAW
@buoyant crest
progress!
"Suckin' at something is the first step to being sorta good at something."
no but really, good progress
"Suckin' at something is the first step to being sorta good at something."
If only

Better, probably
to grow you need to eat soup
now I can't unsee it
You can't unsee it because its your own work
I would not have noticed had you not mentioned it
The artist's struggle
This I can do 














fucking chain breaker
Meka
second mech LMG magazine is 200iq
imagine changing it during battle
but they look very good
who needs changing
wo
it's using rusviet engineering to work
hot

yes
Isn't it one of those sunken tank turrets thing during their transport?
nah its a tonk

so good
Random_mech sketch.
O.O
@trail night that is awesome! Be cool if all the Warden mechs were a spider variant
i am getting ideas π§
Just realized that it is not long enough
bruh
there goes 14+ hours I spent last week lol

what if you just make it lower
maybe that's what's making it look short
@cunning kettle
the front and back wheels are too high up and not wide enough
I think this was due to me looking at that Lego ballista that was made a couple months ago
Lego figures are also incorrectly proportioned, this can work @cunning kettle
working on it
rip
it's fine
wasn't liking how it was turning out anyway
not enough space to do anything
So you could say, itβs back on track
It's not
making it neat
I busted out the calculator
the magic angle on the wheels was 35 degrees
We have a light everyone
Any ways to improve the back?
π
Seems a bit too thin
you want it THICKER
also fml
YIKES
@deep estuary don't talk in #foxhole-creative
@primal flicker yeah, #foxhole-creative is the channel for that video.
remember when #screenshots-and-videos were a thing?
@runic linden #rememberallchat.
crying
member when the community didnt fight eachother for fictional faction
oh wait wrong chat
Don't you love it when you start a project at 2PM and then you realize It's 7PM when you barely got anything done
relatable
one thing is, how in the hell am I gonna be able to do this out of lego
sticker
Hmm. I wonder if there are special blocks made for that angle
illegal lego building technic
I have tried
Use your brain mate everything is possible in designing
could do this, but that would make this look less of a hatchet
nvm I actually like that
i was gonna say 3d printer but never mind
aren't there blocks that are used for the roof's of cars those might work
@dire plinth Isn't that where I put it?
i think she said yas
@leaden carbon what program is that?
@hasty widget I made it in blender but in image its just in stl file opener
How to design a tank that gets tracked easily 101
Also how does the transmission connect the drive wheels when there's nothing connecting the chassis to the hull?
Coli magic, what program are you using?
To make it?
you mean the lego?
Bricklink is the world's largest online marketplace to buy and sell LEGO parts, Minifigs and sets, both new or used. Search the complete LEGO catalog & Create your own Bricklink store.
Yeah that
@vague dust Its a rear drive tank. the transmission and engine are crammed together in the rear
I didn't notice that
its cause the devs didnt know how tanks work lol
like the warden BT at any high speed in reverse would probably snap its idler wheel mount right off
but like
it's not even lined up
also I'm pretty sure its front drive tank
the front wheel has no suspension
while the back does
idk man maybe it is frontal drive but it has a gear feed XD
hatchet is powered by revolutionary return roller drive
@cunning kettle if how you're doing the hull now doesn't pan out, you can always use wedge plates angled to create the hull shape (something like this)
@cunning kettle I would use angled plates to create the body sides in the front of the hull
@cunning kettle you can try with angled slopes, that's what i used for the engine of the ballista.
the problem is that they usually leave a small gap, which can look really ugly some times
well, that and is a pain in the ass to align everything and find place to put the hinge.
tOnk
still needs more details but most of the work finished (except tracks)
@leaden carbon sasi
@peak rover what's up, Pad?
Nothing it fine I was going to put text but nvm
Hey does anyone have the hex colours for the warden uniform?
Just find any picture of it and pick the colors
i usually just eyeball it lol
its a pretty specific color... I just went with a blue I found on krieg people
I'm really just trying to get the colour of the pants
cause it looks grey, but it's a blueish grey
π€·
First image result for Foxhole Warden Soldier ^
pick the colors to your heart's content
veri nice
ohh shit so that was not brown...
Now imagine putting bags like that a motorbike?
https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/foxhole-warden-soldier-male-d94c0c0eae1048608db7c68b65917d1a if you wanna get a good look at it here
i think this is even greater art
"Oh boy! 3AM!"

Here's no background version
cute!
Betrayal!
We have been stuck in these damned ruins for three days now, yesterday we lost two more men... I can't sleep at the thought of those abominations that roam outside these crumbling walls...
(propaganda poster in the background by DrunkRussianBear)
Anything I should add?
A turret?
This is actually really cool
i want it... I need it!
Yay, i'll fight the collie with 169cm tall, no fear my lads
169cm
she looks small in the picture
*cries in 170cm*
Don't cry. At least your kneecaps are alright.
smiles in 180cm
cries in agony of 188cm skeleton filled with hate
love the amount of lego builders suddenly in the community
the shorter you are the more adequate you are as a tank crew
Children would be perfect if would be using autoloader
or as weapon crew
or as suicide bombers
Someone is gotta get a hold of the maintenance
wait i read somwhere that children soldiers are best for artilety type weapons, couse they base the least on physical strenght
now i'm wondering where tf did i read that
children soldiers are best for artilety type weapons
155mm shell says hi
What? I don't know how is this supposed to make sense
Anyway
I want a massive fucking drone with .50 cal
drone with a gun?
Ye
they are also good at teamwork
Oh. Now that looks great
@glad wharf oh that's where i read it
look at mummy's artwork and tell me it's not a child
Its a child
I'm just following the idea
the shorter you are the more adequate you are as a tank crew
short gang
short gang
I like it more cause of this. I adore Tanya the evils manga
it is pretty good ngl
The art and story of the manga and all the amazing references make me so happy.
theres a fan fiction where tanya basically pulls a hitler and takes over via election
I love that manga
someone else pointed that out too
@bright jay that was me hu point it out lolπ
and same here for the anime it is really well doneπ π
I adore Tanya the evils manga
On recommendation I watched the first anime episode. I had an awful time.
Even just seeing the preview for episode 2 made me hate her guts
Tanya the evil
O.O
Victory for warden lol
never forget your gasmask.dumb collies π
Take foxhole LITERALLY lol
but what would the wardens be turned into though wolfs?π€
Lol everyone be foxes doesnt matter its foxhole. Just wearing differejt uniforms
lol good pointπ π
This is why we have #art-discussion
wardens turning colonials into furries
you got that reversed
you'll fit right in the green faction
you are all filthy people, actually make art not weird fetishes jeeeeez π

I finished the turret but it looked awful, I'm going to sleep on it
You have to download The design studio I think thatβs what it was called
.
"Hm... remind me of Tanya"
primite art program
excellent hand drawing
i think you use a drawing board as well too
keep up the good work @rocky tiger
Stopanimegirlz
since the sketch has no eyebrows the eyelashes look like they are the eyebrows and its freaking me out a bit
Nah, it may look like so to someone who's not familiar with the style
but generally anyone who's seen huge eyes enough will know that the fat hairy thing is the eyelashes
I should be studying maths but there we go
still need to watch that show tho
no
Oh you mean that nazi flying girl?
anyway here's the non-cursed variant
Wonder if they added the warden ambu on sketchfab
@cunning kettle thanks
Nay, no ambu yet, damn, I really wanted to turn it into a postal car
honestly i wanna see some improv weapons/vehicles in the game
like technicals and stuff
or armoured trucks with gun ports
clothes are hard to draw ;-;
Just let all the streches go to the folding points or let it drape around a cilinder
The neck looks out of scale compared to the rest of the body would be my guess.
that seems to have made a difference
altho i think im gonna have to rescale the arm now
Here is some advice regarding the clothing
Basically, a sleeve is a really long cilinder encompassing another cilinder (aka, the arm). So when the arm bends, it also bends and creates a point with too much material: the foldong point
[mouw]
sleeve
At the opposite side is the streching point, the place where everything is stretched. All foldong lines try to avoid this place, and favour the foldong point
If there is no direct place to let the folding lines escape to, let it drape (as exampled at the wrist part). You did a pretty good job with it at the body of your drawing
@remote lynx ty
Cleaned up a bit
Also remember: know what clothing you are folding: large pieces tend to have big folds, thight clothing small and loads, sturdy clothing very sharp lines, soft/cozy clothing very bendy lines
A tip of mine if you wanna dive a bit deeper into clothing: get to your wardrope and put on different pieces you have and look at how it folds π
Even when you have relatifly uniform clothing style, there is differences between slight size differences of shirts
i suppose thats help drawing males but i am perplexed by the females cloths as well they have some interesting folds that are hard to draw lol
hehehehehe, I barely drew any women until I was like 20, and holy shit, that challenged my techniques XD
Its quite funny to see the process of improvement, made me strave from my easy to-go-to style, and actually improved my general clothing folding realism
proves that drawing outside your comfort zone can defintly improve your drawing
Yes, good start!
I would just pull one of them longer
although, depends on how the shoulders work ofcourse
like this maybe?
nvm
wrong pic lol
and im trying to get her to salute
so i guess the shoulder would have some creases too π€
there would be a little pluck on it
look at your own shoulder and see, when you raise your arm, how some of the material raises up around where the sleeve meets the body of your shirt
it works pretty much the same of any (western) modern top clothing
nice
thanks for the help its much appreciated
Glad I could help
@rocky tiger I love the eyes
Hm, maybe I should dress up my OC in colonial clothes
@silver lintel looks poggers, what game are you making a mod for?
Steel Panthers WWII
Hexagonal, squad-based strategy game. Each unit you have is a squad or individual tank, and you can have up to five-hundred units on each side. Not bad for a game running off a '90s engine.
The goal is to keep it as close to Foxhole as possible unit wise, though me and my friend have been brainstorming over aircraft recently.
Warden cooks be like
yep that's contreband
"you got the good stuff?"
"yeeeeee"
saw that on a "D&D stat this" group
@faint egret They look weird, like a cross-over of a Focke-wulf and a P-47. But we want to add more, like early, mid, and late-war aircraft.
So the idea is to base the Warden aircraft off of a mix of French and German designs.
For example, this is the early fighter. A mix of a French design with a very fat German engine.
D.500?
Sort of, yeah.
Nice
yep that's contreband
@glad wharf ur life is contraband
Little drawing I've been working on
noice
Thanks, i was gonna do the corners in the armour in a darker blue but I wasn't sure if I should
Im trying to learn blender so I can bring my fantasy tank to life lol
wdym the corners?
I like it on the parts where it shows depth not so much on there turret
mainly refering to the back of the turret
Okay but you think the top of the turret looks fine? I see what your saying looks odd on the back
Any spots you think I should put some?
Also blender is pretty cool once you get used to it I could never use it good tho xd
top looks fine but the back being different color looks a bit wierd
yeah blender is alot to learn and honestly making a tank my first project is uuuuuuhhhhh
Okay I think that'll be good then, Light Tank Bombshell ready to go track some Collies haha
It seems like a ton to learn but cool projects come outta it, that's looking nice so far tho I like the newer look you're going with for the tank
Infantry are still a WiP, but thoughts on the BTs?
Rather, the infantry are the base-game models.
looks really good
one comment tho, the BT has no shadow, I asume the vehicles in this game have shadows like the Inf do
If you zoom in you see a bit of a shadow. But I might have to get my friend to do that. He's better at lighting than I am.
ah yes, I guess my comment then would be its not as defined
Yeah. This game is really, REALLY finicky about stuff since it's so old.
Faction flags. That's the generic blue (Central Europe) flag.
There's a Blue for Central Europe, Green for Generic Asian, and Red for partisans.
would be cool to see the warder/collie flags in there in the future lol
That's the plan.
noice
I'm doing the map, scenario, and unit design. I also do a bit of the art, but my friend is the one doing most of it.
The goal is to have the Wardens 100% done by Christmas, with the Colonials playable but with placeholder art.
Same!
I'm debating whether or not to add aircraft. I want to keep this close to Foxhole proper, but aircraft are so pivotal in this game.
Plus paratroopers are mentioned in canon as the reason why the Colonials were able to breach the wall.
lol, My advice would be leave them for last and work on the stuff in the game atm. who knows maybe well get airplanes by then jk xD
every bayonet comes with a free gasmask
@drowsy garnet was going for the old french bayonet lol
holy shit they kinda were
@hasty widget yo is it just me or do they look like the villagers in Kingdom
yo now that you say that... I see it xD
What direction should I go with this?
reminds me of the concept art https://media.indiedb.com/images/articles/1/227/226376/auto/dbafb3_593c19e281e94.jpg
Nice, but doesn't answer my question
by direction you mean?
What should I add, remove, special effects, etc
What should I do with it basically
Add doggo
yes. the dog. it's the most important addition
No thanks, I'd rather not
Personally
I'd replace the lineart with something like the concept art I posted
it looks out of place atm
In that case, I've got no suggestions
yeah it looks decent enough
@quartz shuttle Looks great man. One thing I would consider: get rid of the cannon on the left or make it way less contrasty. Kind of takes away the nice visual lines you have focussing on the crawling soldier:
itd be cool if it was darker in lighting and then you could add nice little specs of red in the fires in the backround
That's a rough sketch, as I wrote above
It'll be colored, not black and white @faint egret
And, I haven't decided on exactly what I want on the whole scene, so if I remove the cannon, do I add something else? @pulsar grail
hhhm, if you have the canon covered in snow I think it will take the focus away. But if you're working with layers (I hope you do) just play around and don't "throw it away" because some rando on the internet said so π
I'm asking for opinions, I haven't decided on anything yet
On second thought, you might actually go with snow covered bodies, showing the advance of wardens
Leaving a trail of devestation
since its anime style, its pretty easy
a line, and a crescent lol
IF you don't like noses, then you could practice a art style that doesn't require noses
gas masks
genius
yeah. anime hardly puts much detail on noses
and like that sometimes not at all
I almost spit my drink @pulsar grail
@faint egret For it to work, you can't do face looking at the camera, make it looks from the side
It can look at the camera, but not frontal image
That way, you won't need a nose and it won't look bad
so maybe just try leave nose out then?
Not with the angle on this picture no
hmm
Like I wrote above, if you make the character face frontal to the camera, you need a nose, but if the face doesn't face the camera, then it's better
Do you understand what I mean?
yeh
So in that one, do a nose yes
just looking up some references
and i think i might try to recreate one of these
in the front view
Those are good for men, I don't think they'd be good for females
i hate noses ;-;
To get better, you gotta work it
Here, lemme try to do the nose for you
ah shit, we don't use same pixel
i sometimes do this and call it a day
Its not gonna look really good, but it'll be a reference for you, alright? @faint egret
looks good
?
@faint egret Looks good to me
teh i think i like the nose lol
There you have it
Mehbe I'm having a brain fart or a deja vu, but I feel like I've seen that pose somewhere before, right down to the hair
Tanya? @remote lynx
Who?
nah, I don't think so
idk then
@remote lynx Its a man
and?
LOL
technically not anymore. Also, would that make her gay? 
lmao
How I practiced is, I drew an oval, then I practiced one part of the face until I was satisfied with it and I continued to do so with every part for both, men and women @faint egret
"that was a guy, you know"
"and?"
Took me a looooooooong time before I was happy with everything
"that was a guy, you know"
yeh maybe i need to do some more face practice
it looks pretty decent to me.
Also, it's funny how you did hide the eye behind the hair
most pictures I've seen has the lineart for the eye over the hair instead
is that bad that i did?
even the picture nico posted you can see the eyebrows covering the hair
Bad? Not at all.
It's an artistic choice, though I prefer yours
what made that the norm, really? having the eye visible through hair
Probably people liking the eyes too much
also they love drawing full sets of hair
do they even ever remove the hair from their eyes or what?
Oh yeah, once we're done with this piece, we are going to make another one, any ideas of what I could do?
I was thinking of partisans exploding a bridge with tanks passing on it
partisans are "special" forces
It'll be foxhole
Because I really hate that people in Foxhole refuse to tell the difference
So call them whatever you want, the characters will look like Foxhole's characters
@remote lynx wait what there's a difference?
well, yeah
Partisans are usually about general disruption whereas special forces usually go in for a single objective
ambushing trucks is partisan, blowing up a fob with satchels is special forces
both behind enemy lines
huh. ive always thought partisans are just people who messes with the backline regions in general
the more you know
A partisan is a member of an irregular military force formed to oppose control of an area by a foreign power or by an army of occupation by some kind of insurgent activity. The term can apply to the field element of resistance movements. The most common use in present parlance in several languages refers to occupation resistance fighters during World War II.
Special forces have played an important role throughout the history of warfare, whenever the aim was to achieve disruption by "hit and run" and sabotage, rather than more traditional conventional combat. Other significant roles lay in reconnaissance, providing essential intelligence from near or among the enemy and increasingly in combating irregular forces, their infrastructure and activities.
@remote lynx I think he meant in the game and not real life
Cause at least that's what I meant
yeh and they used the irl terms into the game. makes sense
I detest being called a partisan when I try to perform sabotage behind enemy lines
"guys guys partisans in allod's"
"it's SPECIAL FORCES, thank you very much"
lmao
Well anyway, please tell me what we should draw after this one! I need more ideas!
tbh I'd find it interesting to see a tank being repaired
We've seen plenty of action shots, but not a lot of downtime
apart from posing for pictures
Like, people in a town and there's a tank being repaired as trucks are passing by?
thatd look cool
Oh, a column of tanks being repaired on a FOB?
Yeah, that's what I imagined, a forward base to repair the tanks that are damaged from the frontline
hmm
Yeah I got the point
you could totally keep the truck idea though
What I had in mind at first, is a backline city with trucks getting supplies for the frontline and we have the focus on the tank being made in a factory
A crane that's got the turret lifted off a tank
you mean this one
π
I'd art, but my method kinda sucks and does not allow for people
Ok so got 2 ideas out of this talk, first, the one that I just said, the making of a tank in the backline as trucks take supplies for the frontline and second, tanks being repaired on a forward base
π
Anything else in mind?
I'll be drawing for months because of the damn virus
@faint egret You got anything?
medics struggling to keep soldiers alive in a field hospital @quartz shuttle
i mean welders ect would look good in the back ect
medics struggling to keep turning wounded soldiers into ss
maybe in backround a factory
organ harvesting operation
idk, seems kinda boring tbh
like is it going to be in doors or out doors?
That's also boring, everyone does it
I could do a meme drawing of FC being nuked
collies looking at the sky with gaunt and horrified faces, as that conspicuous bright star starts to get closer and closer
I was thinking about instead, camera near the ground looking up as the nuke just exploded and people are running away
Maybe that's what you meant?
POV of a camara on the ground in bodies as tanks role by
as if a reporter was killed ect and the camera kept rolling
presscorps victim
That's why I didn't want to draw a tank scene... everyone does it, it's always the same
:(
you can do something related to dead harvest
a guy getting pulled apart by zombies or something
I don't draw fast enough for it to be done by Dead Harvest
lol same
what about an execution?
Takes around 2 to 4 weeks to finish one drawing
some war crimes
an intense trench assault. wardens and colonials beating each other with fists, bayonets, and maces
no i mean like lined up and shot
that's not a warcrime that's just finishing the job
make a sequel of them getting court martialed
lol
There isn't any witnesses
@faint egret my nose
lol
lmfao#
Fantastic
amazeing
Sorry, once I started I could not stop
oh god i know this nose
Yeah, it is from something but I cant remember
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxo1dS2KssE i know it from here but i never knew who was the reference to
OMG what did you do to it lmfao
@buoyant crest fucking lul
Not sure how to interpet that, since lul means dick in dutch
goddamn foreign languages...
Wait does it actually?
yes
Anyhow, which ever it was, I wanna share this.
Not sure what motivated it, but have fun
perhaps the fact I never draw anime
im speechless lmfao
me too man
maybe slightly terrified XD
my brain went straight auto pilot
Oh god oh what is that thing aaaah jesus get it away from me!!!
It really fucks with my brain comparing it with the original
i feel like theres a meme to be made here XD
booting up foxhole vs 6 hours down the playing session
I'm really excited to play tomorrow
turtle jesus lmfao
noobs vs vets lmao
effects of logistics
when people didnt clear the logistics route from partisans
Actually, this wants me to just draw some template and see what kinds face everyone can come up with
that could be neat
im still speechless at that pic ngl
it stares into my soul
its like a you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about meme
I now have it permentatly open on my side screen as emotional support for studying
if I peek over I get scared and get back to work
im going to go to sleep tonight and be seeing that in the back of my mind
Man I should have recorded the process, because I myself was growing in awe as I kept adding shit
lmfao
"i see you're procrastinating again"
a meme i made
@faint egret hows process on the drawing
Haveing a wee break
I still need to do some detailing on the clothes
And think about a background
Remember colour theory when doing backgrounds!
What's that?
Lots of stuff lol
Lol
There are many methods to do backgrounds, and considering the thin line thickness of your drawing, I would rely on colour contrasts and such
Or perhaps blur it, if that is your vibe
But what my advice is is to not use greys or medium blues on your background
Instead, try using an oposite colour or (prolly better) a triangle on the colour wheel
Or you could try to get a warmth balance going. Blues, purples, grays and such are cold colours, reds, yellows and bright colours are warm colours. By striking a balance here is also interestting. You can see an example of that ob my drawing where I contrasted the character against a red background
It is also a lineless background, so it takes less attention than the lined foreground
Hmm
I like the idea of warmth tbh
I could maybe do a sunset thing
Like I did for this
Alternatifly, you could try using pastels for the background, while saturating the foreground more for an intense anΔ«mΓ³ feel
Perhaps the funnest is to try and combine things, like a blurred background ala gradient (which contrasts the character), with something in the midground which fits the background. The best visual example I can think of is like leaves blowing by with trees in the background; the fun of that is that you can also put the leaves on the foreground to create the ultimate depth.

@faint egret that is a great example of contrasting colours
The ultimate question you want to answer with the background is: where is the character. And then I dont mean a place in the world, but a place in its reality. Make sure the ground (if used) matches the person, place the horizon right (if used), ask yourself if you want to create depth or perhaps place the character 'in front of a wall', or mayhaps do neither.
Or just pull a (advanced) gradient like I basically did
This might be a lot of information at once, so do what you think is cool
The awesome thing about digital drawings is that you can do several iterations without the effort of redrawing the character, so make use of it!
Pull some random gradients or sketches on the background and see how it affects the composition
And above all, have fun 
@faint egret so stop thinking and start doing!
Tbh, turtle made a good point, at least to me, when drawing on a computer, you don't need to think in advance, you can just ask yourself on the spot "Do I like this? What would make it better?" and go along with it
That's why a lot of drawings that I do, the first sketch are not really representative of what the final version will be
@faint egret
Don't over think it and just go with what you are feeling right there on the spot
@faint egret how
....how did the Warden heavy tank get so close to the Golbims?
commandant forgot his binos...
the old flank un spank
Unfortunately the color pallet for this game doesn't allow for Warden Blue
But thoughts on the flag icon?
noice
looks ace π
looks nice
An experiment... yeah, first time drawing in this style.
Hmm i see Czech flag. What game is it again?
@cosmic bough It's Steel Panthers WW2
Ok thanks ill check it out
@analog pike this feels like painted glass, its really neat
Oh shoot, you know that game Belkan?
Played when I was younger... or maybe I'm just confusing it with other Steel Panthers game.
I borrowed the disc from my cousin back then and played it few times... no clue what happened to the disc if either it got lost or gave it back.
@shy plover black are houses red are the weak sides of said houses
@silver lintel that looks really good
@covert salmon why is it in the corner of such a large canvas
It is because of template I use, I'd post a close up but fuck the cool down
Here it is close up
I wanna do a bridge defense scene in this style with wardens fighting off the undead hoards
That would be a cool drawing
So random thought of the day, if it existed, warden camouflage should look like Hungarian 1949m, Italian Telo Mimetico, or Hungarian 38m
2 bad callahan's favorite color was blue
bro.
what would a camouflage pattern do in a place where everything is snow
A. Snow camo exists
B. Useful in green parts of the world lol
i guess it's not that hard to blend in a place that's purely blank white
Remember, AW was the caoivish captal, and the bulwar was built by the caoivish
So historically, wardens owned greener areas, as well, it also makes sense that in a war with a country that is based in greener areas, to develop a greener camouflage
they wouldn't go with blue then 
Meh, I think telo mimetico went well with the weird Italian blue-green-grey wool
bruh where'd those black dots come from
Probably they were added when developing these photos to cover identities of those soldiers.
bruh where'd those black dots come from
@remote lynx identity protection
Welp, I hope they have an undotted one too
Plus, they are reenactors, and considering my experiences on this discord, hiding your Id as a reenactor is important
Some bitch tried to dox me for being a reenactor lmfao
lol
@faint egret Watch your proportion
Yeah, reenactors are a funny kind of people.
Three quarters of them fucking suck
You either get overweight people, people who donβt listen and would rather power wank, and then political extremists

Yeeeah
That overweight part is universal everywhere
Don't see how being overweight makes you a bad person
It doesnβt necessarily, it just hurts the hobby tbh
Wrong image
Tbf, I guess the overweight guys who really cause problems tend to fall into the other categories
It's a integral tactical ration storage
For WWII, the most accurate overweight impressions are either Luftwaffe high command or a tank
Iβm talking becoming the tank
lmfao the last thing a tanker wants to be is to be larger
human shield
I said tank not tanker
oh
ah i see hahaha
Anyhow, this is not a discussion for over here, over to #general-discussion with y'all

Something I did last night of a character from a D&D campaign I'm currently in
fur.
ry
@olive cove very nice, do you have character background story willing to share
Yeah, but I'll share a little rn, just because I'm in game right, I'll tell you the rest later. Essentially his name is Hael, he's actually my character from the previous campaign our DM did for us and this current campaign we're about to meet him because we have to kill him.
Actually I have some time rn to share a quickish summary of the character
Here's a better sketch, now its time to color it
In the previous campaign he was a royal guardsman in charge of protecting the daughter of the Head General, but after a turn of events he is killed by the other guardsmen and is labelled a traitor to justify why they killed him, but him along with a few other people who also died at different points in history are revived and become Godchosen to carry out a specific task to ensure the safety of everyone in the known world. After they completed their task they're transported somewhere and that's all we knew about what happened to them at the time, but in the current campaign it takes place in like year 3348 and it's a space westernish campaign (kinda weird setting, but essentially the previous campaign took place on a planet in our universe) and we know we have to kill the old Godchosen which are our old characters to reverse the actions they took thousands of years ago. And he is currently the last of the four chosen alive @wicked notch
I could've gone into more detail about it, but that would be a lot and I don't wanna clutter this channel
Sounds cool
Nice.
@quartz shuttle May i give you a bit of criticism? The Silverhand looks awfully flat
I don't mind
At least the tracks and the front plate
Yeah thats the flat side
Well, it is flat in-game too
Yeah my bad
@analog pike total war shogun vibes?
Total War: Shogun Foxhole addition
Fixed the SH
NOW, we're moving onto rough coloring
@cosmic bough You like it that way now?
Propably overdoing this one now, but here it is.
Oooh boi I'm gonna be tired
Thinking more like this +- prespective
What did you change?
The tank is 3.8 meters tall, in the whole picture it'll be fine
Its not gonna stick out about that its not tall enough
A drawing for earlier at the Loch
ngl the silverhand looks really flat lol
@cosmic bough At least the tracks are size accurate now
Does look really flat. Looks nice but flat
It'll look fine with colors
With a fine pencil, every details are shown very easily and on this image, there's only the tank
Nice drawing nico. I wanna see the colored version when you finish it :D
Its not me
