Fuck Yeah Character Development!: Character Sheets and character creation → :

When creating a character, there’s a lot of questions you ask yourself. Whether it’s an original character or one you’ve been playing for a long time, using a character sheet to get to know your character better can always be a nice idea. With it’s help, you’ll be able…

Embarrassing nero concept art

He practically has a different weapon for every outfit

How fabulous.

Also, I’m really bad at cleanly erasing my original body sketch cause sometimes I get nervous that I’ll screw up or won’t like the outfit/idea..also no ctrl+z

wip

i’m kind of only posting this up for backup*

i don’t want to continue this for three reasons:

1. my computer is slow as fuck (like srsly i’m lagging while i type thiskjadfnsd)

**2. in the middle of working on this yesterday, my computer froze..when i say froze, i mean it wouldn’t even do anything when i shut the screen so i waited 30 minutes but that didn’t help..it was making this weird rrrrr sound too

and so, in a desperate attempt to save this, i took pictures of it with my phone and tried patching them all together..it took like 5 different pictures to get it together today…

3. look at all of the effort i exerted into that unrefined background ok give me a break

ugh

should probably start that line art huh

Guys I accidentally pressed control + T in sai and I don’t know how to go back to drawing now help??????????

hii!

usually with ctrl + T this happens:

this is so you can like…rotate the picture, resize it, etc etc

all you have to do is click on the ‘cancel’ button to get rid of the transform box!

snoipahkat:

OK SO i get asked about colors a lot and i’m really sorry i am so lame at giving detailed answers SO I’M GONNA ATTEMPT TO FORMULATE SOME„, BASIC TIPS I GUESS
LET ME JUST START OUT BY SAYING i’m not really a very skilled or fancy or formally educated artist (shocking i know) and i don’t take drawing very seriously, BUT I HOPE A FEW THINGS I HAVE SAY WILL HELP YOU

(extra commentary in case anything is hard to read, here is the whole thing in one pic and not an obnoxious photoset)

1. HAVE FUN WHEN YOU ARE COLORING JEEZ don’t loose hair over trying really hard to study and adsorb shading and lighting ‘ruuuules’!! and while enough basic understanding is obviously important and necessary in creating believable and realistic pieces, being creative is also really important as well!! the bottom line of art is that there ARE no rules, and if you really do want to be happy with your work, i find a lot of satisfaction arises in knowing i made something only /I/ could make!! and besides, if i didn’t have fun making art, then i wouldn’t do it, frankly

2. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TONE YOUR COLORS PORTRAY this is especially true for people and expressions and setting

since color is such a big part of a piece, it also plays a big role in setting the tone of your work!! take a minute to evaluate the context of whatever you’re drawing and then try to see what colors would best parrallel that! and especially don’t be afraid to venture into palettes you don’t normally use!! but once you choose a palette that matches the tone of your work BE SURE TO STICK WITH IT so it is contiguous in both the background and foreground

(i used twilight princess and skyward sword as an example, i hope my analysis makes sense)

3. be sure to scribble with and test how colors look together BEFORE you take them to your lines!! and finally HAVE FUN WITH YOUR COLORING i know i already said this but it’s simply tragic when an artist becomes bored/uninterested/frustrated with colors ahhh!!! remember that every artist has different coloring styles so try you best to observe others’ techniques!! pay attention to what you like about them, but ALSO pay attention to what you dislike!!

practice a lot of styles, and ask around which programs/brush settings artists use if you find yourself interested in them!! i’m sorry i can’t help you with more technicalities, but learning for yourself is also half the fun!! plus i’m a lazy motherfucker and i’m bad a tutorials anyway

OKKKKAAY THANKS FOR READING OLLIE OUT

I downloaded the SAI-thingy that was supposed to make .pngs transparent, but it’s not working.

W-weh.

when i make my pngs transparent on sai, i click on “32bpp ARGB (Each pixel have Opacity)”

that usually makes things transparent!! hopefully that helps

Exactly where do you set this setting? I can’t seem to find it..?

Okay so you go to “Save as…” and then click on PNG, and once you do that a little menu named “PNG Save Options” will pop up and it’ll have two options: ”24bpp RGB” (which is the default check) and “32bpp ARGB (Each Pixel have Opacity)”. You’ll click on the 32bpp ARGB and that’ll make things transparent! Hopefully that helps
