I might try for pixelist, but I want to try doing a couple dolls in this style first.

I'm currently updating my portfolio though so maybe tomorrow.

(I've done a little bit of C++ on the backend for Trisphee before in the past, because C++ is my favorite language and I needed something fast, but it's not a standard part of the site.)

Yes, C# has to my favourite one as well. Mainly cause I am so use to using Unity over Unreal Engine. Unreal has amazing things but it's quite daunting to learn how everything works and they just moved away from Blueprints and I really don't know much about C++/Python since have tried to code games or animation using it and everything I tried, didn't work and was close to tearing my hair out.

I probably wouldn't mind helping with writing if that was needed, kind of miss writing stuff for rpgs. And yes, pixeling is quite easy to pick up, I would say the hardest art form to pick up is drawing anything with a mouse. I remember a friend on another site that draws mainly via tablet was shocked I was learning to draw via Gimp and mouse and that I was actually producing quite decent art work.

Know for most sites, you only can necro if you have something to add to the conversion.. but can understand necroing on here since the site is so quiet right now and kind of want to redo my old rpg hunting thread up. Actually would help with designing the stories I want for a few pet profiles else where, lol. And provide updated references on my rpg style these days.

I mean, I honestly do things in kind of a strange way, but it works. I have a design base printed off and taped to a clipboard. I use tracing paper, and draw my designs out with a pencil, then I use my cellphone camera (I have a decent one, Samsung S20!) and upload the pictures so I can share 'em with Galla and the others.

On occasion, if I can't get something quite right in my head translated right on paper, I'll turn to GIMP and use my mouse (I don't have a proper tablet yet. saving up for one after I move), to render my idea.

Frankly, I'm fucking terrified of your phone pixeling abilities.

Den have you seen the shit he can do with *just a phone?*

Let's start a one braincell club!

I have, actually. And all the more power to him for using what he has available to produce it.

wheezecackles.
i could probably do some more cool shit but like. i'm too busy designing hairs and shit bc i can't be arsed to make clothing options that are neutral, since it requires repixelling for boobs / to remove boobs and for a set of wider hips.

That's why I start on a male base. No boobs to remove. It's easier to alter to female base than to start with the female base and then go to male. Or you could do like I did at first and do the designs twice, once for each base.

My son has taken to doing pixel art on his phone. He's still learning the craft, but it's good to see him doing it.

For pixel art, I'm a GIMP user with a mouse through and through. The way I use it, Photoshop feels clunky. I've done a couple of Trisphee items this way.

My pixel art skill has been getting better over the last year or so as I've taken it upon myself to try to make my own assets for the games I make. My wife helped me with the latest game (see my "Games by Coda" thread) by drawing out the human character to fit in the environment I made, and then I fixed up the outlines and shading to work with the rest of the style.

i'm planning to make like. some sort of gear based items at some point (floating gears), provided i can figure out a good way of just doing the damn things, since it'd need to be 3d and all.
