I LOVE THESE SO MUCH

SUCH TALENT

12/10!

6⭐️!

[graceful dust]

Oh my goodness— thank you again!!!

[umbral elm]

That is wallpaper worthy!

[graceful dust]

You’re so sweet! :) Tyyy!! ^^

[sleek hull]

I love your pictures and the storytellng behind it!

[graceful dust]

Thank you so much!! :D

[umbral elm]

I always look forward to seeing your photos! They’re always so good!

[graceful dust]

Oh gosh, thank you!! ^^

I’ve still gotta work on getting a profile reference made for the character herself, tho.

[umbral elm]

You mean a character biography? Name, personality, history, relationships, etc?

[graceful dust]

Yeah haha, I’ve written so many for other characters— but I think this time I might try an edited info board for this one. :)

[umbral elm]

Oh cool! I’ve got like, 50 biographies for OCs for different fandoms so like I get it, it’s hard work!

Definitely taken me HOURS to get what I have, aha!

Good luck with it!

[graceful dust]

Hahahaaa, literally same. ^^’ Thank you!

[sleek hull]

Do you guys have any tips for writing characters? I have quite a lot of trouble for mine as I can never make up my mind about the smallest things

[umbral elm]

I found a template that I use for literally all of my characters, I just change what I need to when I need to

Deviant Art and Amino do helpful biography templates

[graceful dust]

I have an entirely separate Discord server to myself where I send my templates in order to preview them before I make them official!

As for writing tips, I’m definitely not the best, haha— but I’d just say take your time and don’t be afraid to use inspirations from other creators, songs, Pinterest Boards, etc. ! :)

Stop being so talented! 😡

Nah, I love these! 😭

[graceful dust]

How am I just now seeing this? I need to check Discord more often!

But on that note, thank you so much again!! You’re always so kind.

[umbral elm]

I dip on and off regularly so I miss a lot of things too, lmao

[obsidian grove]

where in the world did you find a dead ikran

[graceful dust]

Main Mission Spoiler! : ||It’s just outside of an RDA outpost you take down during a main quest called “Combined Forces”— should lead you outside automatically once the facility is destroyed! ^^||

[obsidian grove]

hmmm interesting. also (just an observation) that’s not that bad of a spoiler

[graceful dust]

Just to be safe. ^^ I don’t personally like getting spoiled on details, even if small— so I imagine some people are the same. :)

[obsidian grove]

yes, though i take spoilers very well (for example, if someone says a character will die, but doesn’t explain how or when, then i will still be happy because there’s still things to find out)

[graceful dust]

That’s good. :)
But just in case anybody else were to find this forum and get curious as well.

[neat pollen]

All your photos are so beautiful!!

[graceful dust]

Thank you so much! 💖

Quick question: do you use any apps to edit your photographs? They’re all absolutely immaculate - I’m not kidding when I say that you’re THE FoP photographer!

[graceful dust]

You’re really too kind, I mean that!! There are definitely better out there lol!

I occasionally use the “structure” feature on Facetune to bring out the contrast in a non-saturated way. But other than that, what you see in my photos is a combination of ReShade (PC Mod) + In-game adjustments!!

Oh— and Otis’ tools for the camera mod & DoF!!

A Na’vi is bound to catch some sun while wandering the open Plains if one is not mindful enough to wear protection from it’s harsh rays! Be careful, lest you wind up looking like an overripe yovo fruit!

[mint epoch]

Purple Na’vi, I feel like someone could include this for an actual ocean (deep sea divers) clan. YERH

[graceful dust]

Ahhh, you’re so right— an abyssal clan would be so good!

Vvvvery late to this, but I'm wondering how you managed to edit the tint to be lighter? I'm trying to just straight up remove it for a human skintone mod, the blue keeps on messing with it

[graceful dust]

Assuming you already know how to extract files: the base textures themselves are blue, the skintone itself is merely a tinted overlay to them— so in order to create a true color, you need to neutralize the base .DDS to a greyscale color & play around with how light or dark it is to get your desired shade. I used a photoshop website called ”PhotoPea” to edit those files. As for what to extract…

For file pathing (where the files go once edited in order to function properly), you’re welcome to check out the mod’s page; if you go to the “Files” tab & click ”Preview file contents”— you’ll be able to trace the file paths to where they need to go.

Hope this helps out!!! If you need further assistance, I can try and help you more via DM— as not to crowd this forum up too much. <3

There’s also a guide for editing skin on the AFoP Nexus itself, so that might be able to help, too. :)
