I noticed in the art fight batch you posted that it looks like scanned pencil lines coloured in, if so, how do you get them so clean n crisp for colouring if I may ask :0

Sure! I actually don't have a scanner so I just take pics with my phone lol. This is what it looks like after I mess with the settings in my camera roll, honestly my pics are pretty crunchy but I think it adds charm LOL I just clean them up in photoshop as needed

Then I put it in photoshop to fix the values a little more and clip out around the character, I don't really have a formula for this I just mess with the contrast and levels etc. I think it helps that I sketch these first with a harder pencil then go over the lines with a softer one so I can crank the contrast and the messier lines fade a bit naturally, though my art is just messy either way so I don't really mind lol. Sometimes I go and touch things up by hand as well by painting over lines I don't want

Then I add flats on a multiply layer, then shading. Also a color overlay above the pencil lines so they arent grey

Then on a layer on top I "enhance" it I guess and render a bit, will vary depending on whatever I think the pic needs but usually I'll draw over outlines and paint over anything that's still too rough. For all this (as well as coloring/shading) I just use a regular soft round brush

Rain in shaded thoughts; Shaded citadel might not be directly *under* Five Pebbles' can but rather kinda beside it, maybe few of his legs were right beside the Citadel and due to the uuh. what's it called, distance equator, it simply means that for most of the time, his can casts a shadow on it during the majority of the year (if we assume their planet follows similar laws as Earth? if the game area is somewhere closer to one of the poles it might be plausible but the rain would still fall upon the Citadel)

I cannot mentally imagine this my brain is full of lore, but sadly not science and meteorology.

I cannot imagine this being a thing especially with the day/night cycles seeming pretty short and normal in rain world. The sun would move about so if the citadel was next to him I don't really understand how it'd stay shaded all the time.

Consider, your fursona is normal sized, mine just decided to be miniscule for a change. Boss fight equivalent of a cat trying to eat a bug it found

at least there is one weakness every bigger opponent possesses...

starting girl scout cookie discourse. if you’ve had girl scout cookies from both bakeries, do you prefer little brownie bakers (tagalongs, samoas) or abc bakers (peanut butter patties, caramel delites). also is your preference the same as the girl scout cookie you grew up with?

thanks again for your step by step on transfering physical sketches - it works wonderful (and a lot better than my previous attemps) so thanks a lot!

Of course, I'm glad it was helpful!

You alright star? Or has the prospect of changing so fundamentally that you're no longer recognise yourself getting to you? Are you no longer the same because the journey has been so arduous it reshaped you and the people you've done all of this for don't recognise you either? (I saw your feral tags)

Can't you recognize me? Don't worry, because I can't either.
