the requirements for explicitly having the words like "6th anniversary" weren't present in previous years, it's a really small thing that could be easily overlooked. I'd really hope you can make a resubmission

the specifications largely stay the same year to year but there's small changes here and there. no idea why it's actually changed tho

#

already mentioned before, but landscape orientation wasn't specified until this year either, tho I suspect that might have been soft rule for making staff pick last year

they say so in this year's rules

Anyway, Gundams probably can’t rust?

#

Since Luna Titanium is a titanium alloy?

#

Someone who’s a chemist, please explain

#

With aluminum

#

Wait a fucking second

#

Thats’s

#

How did they not make it rust?

#

Titanium makes aluminum corrode on contact, doesn’t it?

#

Since aluminum is an anode and titanium is a cathode?

#

But existing titanium-aluminum alloys are rust resistant, so…….

tall lily
#

like any metal they use a special coating to prevent corrosion

#

And there like 3 variants of it

#

Also titanium doesn’t rust

#

At least pure titanium

#

If my Info is correct, pure titanium cannot corrode nor can it rust

#

However… since Luna titanium is an alloy, there is another metal mixed in there

#

And in a vacuum environment where there is barely any oxygen, titanium alloy will rust and corrode extremely quickly

#

They probably did what NASA or anyone who has made technology for space mixed in stainless steal and aluminium to create an oxide layer that doesn’t corrode

#

So in a nutshell

#

Mobile suite are primarily composed of titanium alloy, with metals like aluminium and stainless steel to create a layer to protect it from corroding in space

#

It would explain why the gelgoog Katz found in zeta was rust free

#

And if that’s not a likely answer…

#

Uh….

Doing texture mapping on Tirpitz again and I'm in need of ya'lls opinion. I'm currently texturing the 105mm SK C/33s and I'm wondering if I should give them a red roof or a grey roof. I could also leave the roof the same color as the rest of the turret.

#

The whole reason I've even come to ask this is because none of the 105mm mounts are visible in Tirpitz's splash art.

#

For the most part yeah, but there's a bunch of minor differences that makes it a bit of a slog

late jungle
#

Hmm, idk if that is the same to NC and Washy

#

I mostly read about Washy and not NC

foggy basalt
late jungle
#

as I read in the book

#

and I forgot about what they changed the 50 cal to

foggy basalt
#

Numbers mostly differed because both had renovations at different times. At the last months of the war the difference was about 20 20mm guns as I remember.

#

I can re-read the book but now im just too lazy

#

I only remember that the crews dislike the 50 cal

sick falcon
#

Added Bow/Bot, Fan, and Test Tube to the wedding

#

As an anti-aircraft defence in the IIWW 0.50 were a poor choice so I am not surprised by dislike of crews

late jungle
#

like the M16 mgmc

#

fucking shit I just rolled through some furries P*

foggy basalt
#

At land warfare yes, at navy when you need cover big potential target you need more "arresting power"

#

That's why at 1945 us Navy prefer higher calibers

late jungle
#

also the Navy chief or department or st like that were somewat stupid with their radar placement

#

chose the 180 instead of 360

#

I literally have the book by my side but too lazy and dark to even open it

#

which proved inconvenient during the battle with kirishima

as they can't identify whether it was kirishima or SD

foggy basalt
#

Some ships paid very expensively for design flaw

late jungle
#

Rusty W and Mighty W

#

Took a long time to figure them out

foggy basalt
#

Rusty is propably the less glorious one

late jungle
#

Rusty because the ship was rusty compared to King George (I think)

#

the crew named her that

#

I don't remember the details tho

#

and before her end

#

she was left dirty and rusty

#

which hurt my feelings

foggy basalt
#

Approach to ships after the war in all countries was truly cruel

late jungle
#

SD and NC have their own memorial

#

I think this is her memorial (at least it is what I will call it)

#

If I ever become a milionare or bilionare, I would open a whole amusement park bout her

#

which never gonna happen

Ok because I have not gotten an answer, I want to apologize if this breaks any rules,

I am looking for a digital reference commission of my azur lane OC boat girl, I only have an ai generated image ref image for them to work off of and a written description of them, but I would like to have done by an actual real artist, so that I may commission others in the future using this new piece.

I would like to have two versions of this reference image one SFW and one NSFW, (basically one with clothing and one not)

My budget is 100usd via PayPal goods and services (that would be 50 for each pic)

Please DM me with a portfolio/website link to view your past work, I do not want this ai generated I want an actual artist, if i suspect you of using ai generation for commissions I have the right to refuse.

This is however a no rush project, but I would like the completed work to be done before the 15th of August.

also this is not required but would help, i can pay 25$ upfront and the rest after completion, but if you require all upfront i can pay the full amount.

(Maybe its because in my community we have designated channels which allow artists to share very freely, much different experience so my bad LOL)

for the contest, i used the pinned psd as a template and it's 5760x3240, is this ok for the submission or does it need extra pixels for the bleed line?

#

my brain is too small for this

quiet monolith
#

yeah im honestly not super certain about bleed line specifications lmao

#

I put 10px on all sides this time

#

since that's what I thought a 20px bleed entailed

#

pretty sure in the past I didn't even do that though so hopefully it's not really that strict

scarlet crest
#

i'll just hope this is fine then, if not i hope i have time to resubmit

#

Hope for the best, Luna!!!

covert cipher
#

Checking the submissions on the website it looks like everyone put different resolutions lol. I guess its fine as long as you keep above the minimum and keep the aspect ratio

muted bluff
#

^thats what I think too

brave sand
#

what paper they using?

#

anyways

scarlet crest
brave sand
#

copy paper is 8.5 x 11 inches, so you can do a 8.5:11 ratio. For example, if I want it at 300 dpi: 2550px by 3300px. I can also do 5100 by 6600. Just take the ratio, and multiply by whatever factor

#

let me do the maths for you

muted bluff
quiet monolith
#

is the 20px included in the aspect ratio or not based on this wording?

brave sand
muted bluff
#

Luna drew digitally v_LaughingHaha

#

Dunno how copy paper is a useful reference, think the pixels is easier to go by ngl

quiet monolith
#

the point of bleed lines is for printing tho so that's where the paper comes in

covert cipher
muted bluff
#

Some of the rule wording is ... q_TiffanyConcernedSusHmmm

brave sand
#

So the aspect ratio is 11.7:16.5 inches (since they using DPI here). They already worked out for 350 DPI, now you can go higher if you want, just mutliply whatever number above 350

16.5 * 350 = 5760
11.7 * 350 = 3240
Take whatever factor above 350 you want, and it will meet the same requirements

brave sand
# muted bluff True tbh

20 pixel bleed line is to prevent the printer from cropping it, it is common to have that in photography

#

If you just extend the canvas by 20 pixels on both sides, should not affect the ratio

#

(btw, if you extending you canvas on both sides, make sure to increase the size by 40 pixels)

covert cipher
brave sand
#

^

quiet monolith
#

extending all sides by a fixed amount technically does affect the ratio tho

brave sand
#

yes

quiet monolith
#

not a lot but it's not exactly the same

brave sand
#

let me check

brave sand
quiet monolith
#

yea

#

like it ideally shouldn't be an issue

brave sand
#

Virtually the same in pratice

past badger
past badger
#

its not a seperate rule because it falls under like the general rule itself if that makes sense, it cant be present here

brave sand
#

tl;dr arists should know ratios because it will make the publisher happy

#

and the printer guys happy

scarlet crest
#

i hope i can get good enough for that to matter some day UniHurt

brave sand
#

artwork that does not fit any ratio will be cropped or god forbid they use the "fill" option, it would distort it EmileSip

#

bleeding lines also prevent the art from being cropped cause printers are stewpid

#

(yes, I had to fight a printer before)

#

and I am sure I am going to run into more problems with my poster artwork

I never understand how hair strands work JavSigh

covert cipher
muted bluff
quiet monolith
#

think about big hair shape first and then add little strands that don't break form

muted bluff
quiet monolith
#

for anime hair imagine it as a flat noodle of sorts, that should keep it from becoming like a tentacle. not too much volume

#

it can bend and twist but it's one shape

#

also think about the shapes where they merge together. you don't typically need too many small strands, they're an added detail which can help draw attention to an area

foggy basalt
#

What if it comes to shading? When I try to shade them according to the direction of light they come out very stiff

quiet monolith
#

think about it in terms of surfaces first, and keep it somewhat consistent with the general light direction. it doesn't need to be super rigid

#

idk if this makes any sense , it's kinda just the way I go about thinking

foggy basalt
#

Ok, I have must try it. Thanks for help CleveSparkle

muted bluff
#

The lovely artists in this channel are so talented

covert cipher
#

yeah its a good explanation

#

Also I think hair shading can have quite a lot of different styles

muted bluff
#

I learn to have fun with it

covert cipher
#

yeah, I found a nice guide that i am following for mine right now but its fun to try around a bit and see if you can maybe come up with something nice looking

muted bluff
#

Agreed, same for shading in general ngl

#

If anyone wants they can DM me, I have a great skin shading tutorial I have been looking into, its very informative for digital artists getting into layer work and cell shading

quiet monolith
#

guides are a nice way to get an idea how others generally go about drawing, but it's also good to avoid letting things become too formulaic. experimenting with new stuff is one of the more fun parts with art imo

#

and different scenarios may call for a different approach, it just depends on what you wanna draw

muted bluff
quiet monolith
#

yeah it's definitely good to know what tools you have access to

I guess technically you would need to wait for them to reject it and then resubmit? But its so close to end that sounds risky...

Maybe I’ll submit again

covert cipher

Yeah I think thats the best bet, add the text, tweet again with the text, submit again and put in the desc that you forgot the text

cyan ocean

Ok

covert cipher

If they check the submission and see yours twice, one with text and one without they will surely understand

#

it would be a shame if this doesnt make it in, thats a Top 10 contender IMO

K I changed reuploaded it lmao

#

I pray they understand lol

Have my retweet at least

Oh man I can’t resubmit

Uh oh

Then you really have to wait for it to get rejected

I emailed them

covert cipher
#

Man this sucks, I hope they still let it through somehow

#

its such a great piece

cyan ocean
#

Yeah lol I hope they reject it in the next 10 hours

I think there are only 9 hours left, they surely should be checking for entries more actively towards the end right
