#picrew tutorial

[drowninnoodles]

So I tried to make Picrew tutorial, This is what I managed to figure out myself because the tutorial is a bit confusing on the website, so I tried to make it simpler

If something is too pixelated because tumblr screws up the quality as usual, I'll try to fix it somehow or smth but yeahhh

Bulk part recoloring for Picrew: a guide

Hi! Some of my friends asked me about this and I figured I'd make a tumblr post instead of writing it all in a discord message never to be seen again.

This guide covers how i personally quickly recolor parts for my own picrews, to use with picrew creator's bulk uploading tool. This likely isn't going to work for everyone, especially since I rely on Clip Studio Paint very heavily.

Using this tutorial will give you the files you need to bulk upload with picrew creator a bit faster than if you were to recolor everything by hand. Especially if doing a bunch of parts and colors.

Tutorial under the cut!

What you'll need

Clip studio paint (or another art program with animation features that lets you export each frame to a separate layer. I only will be showing CSP however)

Your artwork. Each color needs to be on a separate layer. (Sorry for those who like to paint everything on the same layer! This won't work for you)

(optional, if on windows) https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/ to speed up one specific step

Let's do this

1) open the animation timeline, with CSP pro you can do 24 parts at a time due to the frame limit, which is still plenty to speed the process up.

2) say you're doing the shirts like i did. make an animation folder for the shirt fill color, as well as the lineart. if you have any more layers that are recolored with the same color each time, make an animation folder for those as well (so say, shadows. or secondary colors)

3) put each individual shirt part in it's own animation cell. make sure the frames for each part line up. you'll want to be able to go through the timeline with each shirt on a separate frame

Your layers should end up looking somewhat similar to this

4) now for recoloring: clip a layer to each animation folder. so clip one to the shirt fill folder for instance. fill that entire layer up with the color you want that part to be. Check the frames in your animation again, now every part should be recolored with the colors in the clipped layer.

Your layers should now look something like this

5) Shorten the timeline so only frames with an actual item in them are included. (Otherwise you'll end up with a bunch of blank images later that you're not going to do anything with)

6) Hide every layer other than the animation folders and their clipped layers. So only the part is visible. Go through your frames one more time to make sure they look alright and nothing is out of place.

7) Time to export! Go to file -> export animation -> image sequence (you might want to set a shortcut for this so you don't have to go through 3 menus haha).

Make sure you're exporting to the correct folder. Set file name settings to anything you like, but make sure the start number is 1 (there might be exceptions to this, I'll go over that later). Set the image type to PNG, make sure the canvas size is correct and that the framerate lines up with your timeline's framerate.

8) Export it! You should have some files in your folder that look like this now. We'll want to rename them to just 1.png, 2.png... etc.

9) You can rename them by hand, but this is rather slow to do each time and I'm lazy. So here's how you rename them in the bulk rename utility. Open your folder in there, and then copy the settings I have here.

Yes, this is EXTREMELY overwhelming. I know. The first box (RegEx) is the only one you'll need to touch. Set the Match field to something like "Recolors_0{0,3}". Replace "Recolors_" with whatever your files start with. Also check the v2 box.

Replace can be left empty, since we're essentially removing anything that matches the regex (which is a text pattern matching syntax. We're essentially matching "Recolors_" with up to 3 zeros after it)

Select all the files in the top panel, then hit Rename in the bottom right! It should rename everything to just 1.png, 2.png... etc in one go.

10) Go to your part page in picrew. Make sure your colors are set up and you have created the amount of parts you'll need. Go to the Bulk Upload tab (there's a link in the top right).

11) Select the color you're uploading, then select the files you're uploading. Make sure the filenames match with your part ID numbers. This is important. 1.png Will match the first part, 2.png will match the second. Note how I said ID numbers, not the display order.

This means in the exporting step, you might need to change the starting number of your files. If you messed this up since you didn't read the tutorial in full before following it (I get it. I've been there before), just export and rename again.

12) If everything looks good and you got your files previewing no problem, hit upload, then wait a few seconds while picrew uploads your files.

13) YOU DID IT!!! You successfully added a recolor for your parts. Now go back to your file in CSP and fill each clipping layer up with a different color. You can now repeat the process from step 7. (export, rename and upload) to upload all parts for the other colors.

How much time does this actually save?

I never timed myself, but from experience, once you have set everything up and get the hang of it. It's pretty damn fast! Granted it does take a bit of set-up to get working. It gets more efficient the more parts you recolor at once.

I'll often go ahead and recolor the next color while the previous color is still uploading. Usually a single color only takes me a minute max to create and upload, instead of several minutes recoloring every single layer and saving each file separately.

For bulk rename utility, I set it to allow overwriting files. Which means I keep every color in the same folder and just overwrite the files whenever I rename. It's the fastest for me and saves me some storage space on my PC as well. Just make sure to click out of and then back into the folder to reload the files in there.

Hopefully this should help someone! Creating your own picrew is a daunting task and this made it a little easier for me at least ^^

happy 6th constabell anniversary ♡

(and a happy birthday to dear irene!)

[5.28.25]

a few months ago, it was his birthday, and i wanted to say my words but i decided to keep it short to save it for the anniversary :)

i remember when i was still very fresh to id.v, it was 2018 back then. the concept of new survivors joining the faction was still a brand new thing to me ... i remember when aes.op carl came out, i was always eager to find new characters to play with!

i remember when nor.ton were teased to come out. i didn't think much of him, but i did adore his design a lot. i remember that well. his playstyle confused silly me back then, so i had nothing but appreciation for prospector mains at the time

i don't know how it happened, but one thing led to another - i made an oc for this game, but it was for the purpose of roleplaying with a friend (who also happened to be the reason why im playing, hi xelle <3) and i thought it would be very fun to pair her with nor.ton. but as i slowly learn about him more and more, i came to like him a lot! favorite character at best. it was hard to learn anything about him, because his lore was little to nothing at the time.

i suppose, the more i just shipped irene with nor.ton as is, the more i started to actually like him, and started to project my feelings more into the ship. but i only had myself and xelle to share this at the time, and then i dropped the game for a few years.

for a brief time, nor.ton debut on my tumblr around 2021 or 2022? i had a little spark that made me miss him, and so i indulged for a bit. but it was short lived, unfortunately.

and another spark came in, when fool's gold became a real concept. he became a hunter. i still look back at this silly post of mine and giggle about it... the final nail in the coffin was when i decided to watch id.v stageplay and goodness gracious i fell back in the hole so hard and look at me. typing this out as i celebrate the 6 years ive known this man

while i regret not being with him in-between my years- i'm glad i can catch up to genuine lore that has been provided for him and it's still ongoing, so it feels like i can fix myself into the loop again :) now that i finally know his story, i feel incredibly attached to him for that too. he feels right at home in my heart again, i hope younger me is happy that i'm back to him again ^^ his story is nothing but difficulty- the kind of struggle that almost hits close to home sometimes and i truly care for what he's gone through. he is such an amazing character design and i want to continue appreciating him as much as i can. his story is still unfolding, and i look forward to the future for that :)

cheers to more content with you norton campbell, and that i can continue to make lovely stories for these two 💚

[angiestown]

I'm working on another dress up game rn and like ~2 years ago when I made my last one, making all the colour variations took soooo long. then right near the end I remembered that I knew how to automate things like that. since I had to get it set up again anyway, I figured I'd record myself doing it and make a tutorial to hopefully save some other people some time

[squiiji-3d]

I'm tired of seeing AI generated and Creator TOS-violating PNGtuber models 😠

PLEASE let me help you make your own free model w/ Picrews that allow commercial use‼️

I've got 70+ of them for ya here, PLUS a set up tutorial, it's so easy my guy

How to OC post without being an artist (or spending money)!

As much as I yelled about OC-posting, some people said that they struggled to know what exactly they should be posting. Obviously the answer is whatever you feel like but if you’re already aimless, that answer isn’t very helpful. Additionally, not everyone knows how to draw (which I think is an obvious method of OC-posting) so I wanted to give some ideas for what people could post for their OC! This will be split up into different sections.

Creating visual representations of your OC

Disclaimer: I will not suggest nor support the usage of generative AI. OCs are about creating something yourself, not allowing a computer to do it for you.

Outside of commissioning someone else for art, it can be disappointing and frustrating to not have any visual representation for your character. An easy way to get a representation of your character is to use Picrew, Meiker and other similar sites. There’s a large number of art styles, types of fashion, species, that can all be used to make your OC and that amount only grows by the day. Many of these websites can be accessed on PC and mobile and take very little processing power.

However, this can be limiting at times since you might not find exactly what you’re looking for, especially if your OC has a unique combination of features. For something with more customisation, you can use video games with character creation to make a version of your character. I personally would recommend games like The Sims or Skyrim as both have very active modding communities. This way, if a certain type of clothing or facial feature isn’t present in the base game then you can often find someone who has created a mod that adds it in instead. This does require you to have access to a computer that can run not only the game but the mods as well.

Another option would be using a program like Vroid Studio to make your character from a base model. This has both a mobile and PC version, although I will primarily be speaking from a PC perspective. The mobile app, while able to create a character from scratch, is a lot more limited than the PC version. The great thing about Vroid is that there’s a lot of user-made content that you can often get for free through websites like Booth, as well as many tutorials for beginners to follow along with. Again, this requires a computer that is able to run it. I would recommend against using Vroid on a laptop as it will likely be too intensive for it.

My final suggestion for character visuals is to take a character from anime or cartoons and simply edit them. This was actually how I first got into making original characters! You can recolour their hair or outfits with an editing program (with some free examples being FireAlpaca, Krita or GIMP) and even edit different images together to create something more unique. Please only do this with characters from existing media and avoid using fanart for this.

Other OC visuals

Other than just what your OC looks like, there are other ways to visually put together your OC. Moodboards are the most obvious example of this, but you can also edit other things such as putting together outfits for them or finding pictures of items they would keep in their bag.

If you have multiple OCs, you can create fake text conversations between them using a number of websites. These can be as silly or as serious as you like!

Finally, you can always build them a pinterest board. I am a massive pinterest enjoyer and not only can you use pins that others have posted to pinterest, you can add your own from off the site. 

Writing

Beyond writing out your characters’ story, there are numerous other things you can write. Keeping in line with what you’ve already written, you can re-write scenes from alternative perspectives. These can add context to what is seen in the main story, as well as flesh out background or side characters and their relationship to your other OCs.

Another fun thing to write is non-canon scenes. Write a beach episode! Write about a character getting sick and someone else having to take care of them! There are countless ways to draw your OCs interacting with their world or other characters that wouldn’t necessarily ever fit into the “main” story.

Next is genre changes. If you had to categorise the genre of your OCs’ current story, what would it be? Now image what if the genre was something completely different? Romance to mystery… Slice of life to horror… Part of the challenge is figuring out what story beats remain the same and what gets changed, including character dynamics! And of course… Alternate Universes. There are too many types of AUs to list but some of my favourites are superpowers, mafia, zombies, time loops and time-travel-fix-its. These are similar to genre-changes but often include a number of AU specific tropes. If you’re struggling to figure out the staples of a certain AU or what kind of AUs exist, there’s a really good page about alternate universes on Fanlore.org!

Other ideas

These are ideas that didn’t quite fit into the other categories.

First is music playlists! There are two types of these. The first is a playlist of songs that describe a character and their story while the second is a playlist of songs that the character would listen to. Some people like to combine the two as well! There are no rules to this, simply have fun listening to music and picking out songs that remind you of your OCs.

Second is incorrect quotes. I remember these used to be beloved by fandom and now they can be beloved by you and your OCs! The concept of incorrect quotes is that well-known and funny quotes from pop culture (such as memes or movies) get written out and your characters are assigned a line of dialogue. While there’s a website that’ll generate these incorrect quotes for you, I personally find more fun in coming across quotes organically while scrolling social media and realising that they fit my OCs almost perfectly.

Finally, ask games. These typically take the form of lists of questions or prompts with emojis or numbers next to them. People can send in the relevant emoji or number and you then answer the corresponding prompt. There used to be a kind of “ask game etiquette” where if you reblogged an ask game from someone, you sent an ask from the list to them as well. This way, it allows the game to continue circulating and you can spread the joy of OC-posting with others! It can also lead you to making friends within the community.

And that’s it for my post! If you have other suggestions for kinds of OC-posting then I would love to see them!

bro it actually makes me so mad when people use generative ai and their excuse is "not everyone is good at drawing/writing!!" okay so then learn?? ive written two books, have 4 books i am currently writing, and i write fanfic. so i'd like to think im somewhat decent at writing. but i used to be absolute shit. the documents i keep in a secret folder from my old writing days are actually criminally bad. but we all start somewhere. write a paragraph. i dont care if it's bad. just write a fucking paragraph. maybe it's the worst piece of writing ever, but it's still writing. it's still YOUR work and you should take pride in the fact that YOU came up with that and wrote it ALL ON YOUR OWN!! as for drawing, i am still shit at it. i can't draw anything to save my life. but if you want to see a book character, do it yourself. if you're not satisfied with that, make a damn picrew. i'd much rather have a stick figure that i drew myself than an ai generated abomination. and if i dont like the drawings i make, then i'll pick up a pencil, look up a youtube tutorial, and fucking learn. it's not hard to not use ai, you're just lazy.

Pros of Making My OC Black: I can give her so many adorable hairdos in my mind!

Downside to Making My OC Black: The issue isn’t that she’s black; all I’ll say is that the skin and hair options on Picrew are reminding me of the tutorials people needed to put out when Across the Spiderverse came out.

[jovial-thunder]

hi, I saw a post you made about your character creator menu a while back and I thought it was really neat how you had adjusted the standard picrew-style menu to give better previews. I want to build something similar (just as a picrew, not as part of something bigger), and I've got a basic idea of how I'd code it, but figured I'd ask, did you follow a tutorial at all to help code yours? and/or would you be willing to share some of your backend for it?

I'm very curious if my idea of how to achieve the same result is roughly the same backend as you've got, or something wildly different!

Sure! Here's the architecture diagram:

I know the diagram is probably not useful on its own... we were a little cute and call an entire portrait a "sandwich" which is made of of different "slices" (the eye slice, the outer_clothes slice). It follows the 3-layer system that I describe in this talk. The basic idea is something I call "the cycle between heaven and earth":

The lowest layer is all the nodes in Godot's scene tree. They're basically a browser DOM that don't store any data we want to keep; they're mortal and ephemeral. E.g. buttons, stuff drawn on the screen.

The middle "cores" layer are resources with almost no functionality; they're just data repositories meant to be serialized/deserialized.

The top layer has no state and its resources represents game content: collections of possible noses, hats, etc.

When data changes, I have "rerender" functions on most of my nodes that can be called to update themselves to whatever the current data is (rather than updating themselves piecemeal as specific things change). Similar to how React does it, if you're familiar.

To get that preview effect where everything is the same besides one thing, on every change I rerender all the buttons in that category with a copy of the current "main" core and then replace the one slice that particular button changes.

The cores serialize to JSON, and I store the slices as "slice_type: chosen_slice", the keys of which match up to the resources I defined in the top layer.

To define all the assets, we set up a file parser that goes through and automatically collects & sorts image files into different categories and with their front/back and big/small variations by file name:

I use this organization for both the portrait maker and the main game, so it's not specialized for doing picrews... I hope this is useful to you! Happy to answer any other questions you have about it.

[ane-doodles]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers :3

Oh, I'm just now seeing this, sorry for the delay!! Let's see...

1) Drawing! Obviously :3, especially posing and character design in general. I also like working on outfits, although it takes longer and can get frustrating.

2) Collecting references! I love browsing Pinterest and saving images and sorting them into different boards for future reference: posing, clothing, food, locations, coloring or anatomy tutorials, animals, and anything else you can imagine.

3) Listening to music!! Especially anything that falls into the bardcore genre, sea shanty... or in general anything that gives me medieval fantasy vibes, especially in Ireland, jsjsjs

4) Crafts! From making plush toys to cards. I have fun making them, especially when I'm thinking about someone in particular; I feel like I'm putting more passion into it somehow. Doing things for myself is also fun, although I usually take it more slowly and take longer.

5) Watching explanatory videos! I especially like cooking tutorials, makeup repairs, clothing repairs, and household items, as well as movie summaries. In general, something that gets my brain working when I'm doing something that requires little mental exercise at the time.

Bonus: I also love to play with picrews in my free time

[saszor]

your tutorials keep popping up on my dash, and every time i get super excited because i recognize you from your picrew! it's saved me time and time again whenever i wanna make picrews of my disabled ocs ^_^ thank u for making tutorials aswell, super helpful!!!

<3 I'm glad you find them helpful! Thank you

How to Get Selfship Merch and Art with Low or NO Budget

*Okay, kinda misleading title as many of these are DIY but they can be cheap or free depending what materials you have access to. These are just some basic ideas I hope will inspire people to try their own things.

Feel free to add any ideas you have, too!

Things you can get/make for free

Picrew / Dressup games

I’ve seen some couple/romance picrews before!

I don’t always find the options I want in Picrews (ie body type) but you can always edit them using free software like Autodesk sketchbook, gimp, etc

Wallpapers

If your f/o is popular, you might be able to find some good phone/desktop wallpapers by searching online

Edits

There’s free apps for editing selfies where you can put in a photo and add in filters, stickers, etc. (Not my area of expertise, also may not work as well with animated f/o’s)

Free apps for video editing - I see a lot of edits on Youtube and Tiktok for example

Making silly edits where you put your ship into existing memes

Free art?! - Artists doing art requests / free art for experimental purposes

(Search for “art requests: open”, only ask if people offer first)

Free art?! - You can draw whatever you want, whenever you want

Apologies if that sounds condescending, but that’s often the thought that motivates me to draw selfship art when I do. No one can stop me from drawing myself kissing my f/o!

If this is daunting, try breaking it down into smaller steps. Search for tutorials on how to draw your f/o, or how to draw romantic scenes, etc.

Misc arts & crafts!

Whatever you have on hand you could make - especially in your f/o’s colors! Or things you associate with your ship

Sometimes schools and libraries have free events where they let people make things free of charge - check out your local library’s site! They’re always open for feedback, you can email suggestions for events.

I’ve seen events where they let you paint, make friendship bracelets, make buttons with their button machine, etc

For example my uni had a “destress from finals” event where you could make bracelets with plastic beads (like kandi?), and I made one with my friend’s f/o’s name and color scheme. 

Things you can get/make for cheap

Keychains! Get one of those keychains where you can put a photo in, print out or draw a pic of your beloved, and put that bad boy in there

A lil character shrine! It doesn’t have to be huge

A good place to start could be a photo of the character and little trinkets you associate with them. Like an eraser shaped like their favorite animal or a candle in a scent that reminds you of them.

[kotoal1011]

v interested in a webshrine but i licherally have no clue what that is ( yes i am telling u to explain pls ty :< )

OMG ANOTHER CHANCE TO GUSH (kinda) ty ai 🫶🏻 (huge ass gush coming, sorry 😔 tldr below tho)

ok so, besides my physical "shrine" (which is just my ktk merch collection <3) I have what I like to call a webshrine! Or an online shrine. Instead of displaying merch, it's just kinda like a website about my wife and our relationship. like this!

everything looks better on pc prommy. but anyway– as you can see, I have different sections: an entire section for her, where I wrote a detailed description and what she's done in the story so far (kinda like a wiki but better because it was written with love <3 I genuinely tried to be as objective as possible when stating the facts because even her fandom wiki makes her seem like a villain ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯). I also listed most of the facts I know about her there! So you see, it's a great outlet for infodumping about her (you don't gotta read all of this lmao just wanted to show what it looks like)

Then there are the other sections: a little bit of main info about me, a huge ass gush about what our relationship is like (with more facts), a section dedicated only to gush whenever I feel like it (kinda like a diary), and a gallery of pictures of her (official pics, screenshots, but also picrews and merch stuff).

So, that's what mine looks like! Of course it depends from person to person, but the main idea is to have a kinda website dedicated to your beloved/your relationship.

Unfortunately you need to know how to code, or at least the basics. The first time I started to work on my webshrine I spent four hours learning how to put together a picture and some text (no joke, I really suck at it </3). It gets easier the more you learn and css/html tutorials help A LOT (the reason why I took so many hours was because silly me refused to watch a tutorial). You can also use templates to make it more pretty but I didn't because I wanted to do my own thing.

TLDR: a webshrine is a website dedicated to your beloved(s)! You can put whatever you want: info about them, random facts, a gallery, playlists, gushes, anything related to them. They're very fun to make! And a nice way to express your love for them <3
