POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

August 6th 2021

12 am Eastern Time (US)

4am UTC

5am BST/London

6am Central Europe Time

7am Moscow Standard Time

9:30 Indian Standard Time

12 noon Hong Kong Time/Australian Western

1:00 pm Japan Standard Time

1:30 pm Australian Cental time

2:00 pm Australian Eastern Time

August 5th 2021

11pm Central Time (US)

10pm Mountain Time (US)

9pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

BECAUSE I’M A TIRED IDIOT, USE THIS TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TIME ZONE!!!!

Girlish Lisa-ish Sprites Tutorialish

@seashelbby​ First thing’s first, make sure to check out this dude’s rad Lisa Sprite Tutorial. I would hyperlink to it or whatever but idk how so here’s a link. 

http://seashelbby.tumblr.com/post/138053086525/shelbbys-lisa-style-sprite-tutorial

Without it I wouldn’t be half the joy-addict I am today.

Okay let me teach you how to make really cruddy ladies.

Here’s just the base sprites if you want to get right to work.

Now, it’s entirely possible to make different gender sprites using the bases already given by Shelbby. It’s mostly getting the face and the hair down to make em match.

Most of the official LISA female sprites wear Ponchos, so it doesn’t really matter what the body type looks like if they’re gonna wear one.

Sometimes it’s a good idea to simply edit an already existing sprite and looking at others for reference. Just uhh, be thoughtful on whose sprite you may edit.

And there we have it! A cute little older Lisa!

Also, don’t be afraid to go with the flow and not use a base. You never know what happy lil things you may create!

“But Cesar, my sprites don’t look feminine enough. What do?!?!”

That’s where this sexy fucker comes in.

Queen Roger’s body type is different from the other LISA sprites, making it perfect for more curvier/feminine body-types! Just by editing Queen’s sprite, I was able to make some okay-looking ladies.

As you can tell, I’m not great at drawing Ponchos. So you’re on your own with that one. Here are some base sprites you can use if you wanna get started!

And kaboom! You may or may not have made some cool looking sprites! Probably not! Good luck on your sprite/mod-making journey!

Really hope Tumblr doesn’t make everything low quality or somethin.

Also I dunno how to shade so shade properly.

Shelbby’s LISA style sprite Tutorial

 @buddythelastgirl 

Hang on tight ‘cos there’s a lot to get through. The programme I use to make the sprites is MSpaint by the way.

NORMAL SPRITES

First of all, I made these pre-rendered body types on my own, as bases. This helps for consistency amongst characters and saves time when making characters because no two NPCs should be the same (so there’s lots of room for variation).  Anyone can use these if they want and if anyone makes some of their own LISA style sprites following this, I’d love to see them!

Alright, to keep things simple, for this tutorial, I’ll use the normal body build.

I always start by adding simple alterations. The key is to keep designs basic. The left shows the edited base and the right show the comparative changes made.

Then, I smoothen out the pixels by reducing the edited areas to 1 pixel wide. This just makes it much easier to look at during these first few steps.

Keeping with Ding’s original style, the outline of the sprite should be 2 pixels thick while the insides are 1 pixel thick. A clear example of this can be seen in slave lord Jim’s sprite.

So, once you’ve thickened the outline,

You might want to shave off a few pixels from the outline to make it look smoother and less blocky but you don’t have to as it is a very minuscule detail.

At this point, you might want to consider making some minor adjustments if you aren’t happy with certain aspects of the sprite.

Now’s the ‘fun’ part - colouring! As I stated in my other tutorial, I believe it’s important to stick with the colours of the source material to give it a more authentic feel. So, either open up the official sprite set that you can get if you purchase LISA’s art collecrion or just get a sprite sheet off of spriter’s resource. Once you have the reference colours that fit, colour drop them onto your sprite.

It’s time to shade. Remember where the light source is coming from when shading because I sure as hell can’t.

Then, just add the finishing touches. Further shading, the removal of certain outlines for a cleaner look and splotches on articles of clothing/objects to make them look scruffier. 

…And we’re done

But that’s kind of like simply placing toppings on an already cooked pizza. Now for the much harder custom stuff. It’s time for-

MUTANT SPRITES

First thing’s first, draw an outline for the mutant’s design. At the moment, it doesn’t matter what size the sketch is.

Now, it’s time to resize the outline to a reasonable size. For reference, it’s good to have the official mutant sprites on hand. Arty is one of the biggest mutants out of all of them so it’s best to make sure the area your custom mutant takes up, is in total, less than Arty’s.

Using the selection tool (make sure transparent selection is turned on), resize the sketch. Matching up to a canon mutant’s sprite is a pretty handy way to go reference wise.

Now that the outline’s been resized, it’s time to do the basic lineart. The sketch layer is erased by using the fill bucket tool. The way the mouse buttons are mapped, left fills an area with colour 1 (the sketch colour) and right fills the area with colour 2 (white or whatever the transparent colour is). 

Just like before, smoothen the sprite out so everything is 1 pixel wide.

The steps change here. This time, it’s easier to colour the sprite first. Same method as before still applies.

 The thickening of the lines to 2 pixels thick is a bit different with mutants as the inside lines can vary - it depends on how thick you want the layers of skin to be seen and whether certain parts of the body are seen as more forward or not. However, just like before, the outline is always 2 pixels thick.

Then, add some tight folds in the skin.

Shade and add some finishing improvements.

…Don’t forget to add nipples!

Hell yeah. And with that you’re done. Both normal sprites AND mutant sprites.

So, now you’ve got some basics down, it’s time to try for yourself, maybe <3

I hope this was at least somewhat useful.

Welcome to this blog!

This AU blog is inspired by the LISA series!

Summary: This AU takes place in a apocalyptic version of Craftworld where it has been destroyed by "The Flash".

This causes the land terrain to change, people had become affected physically and mentally, the weather cycle is messed up, people then start to become savage, the government structure was destroyed, as people try to survive in this world.
