I would like to apologize for the whole color thing when I sent in nmm!Clover walking, it may have just been a mistake on my part, don't know how though
Anyways, as a full apology, the updated side walkers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, I just grabbed the same colors from the original pixel Clover and used them here
Oh dang, didn't know I could put them side by side, that's neat and will be very helpful in the future I think
Anyways, I think that if I were to update them again, it would definitely be to figure out how to have the tail so it's not just. pulsating
FUCK YEEAAHHH THEY BOUNCING!!!!! GOT THESE ALWAYS LOOK SO GOOD you edit these so well!!!! i love the little touch of nmm!clovers not bouncing up all the way its so fun

Hey @ntls-24722
Tumblr media
Scribbled a Debu in my little notebook and scanned it!
Also this scrimblo I was figuring out the shapes with but the above one is the one I was going for lmao
Tumblr media
She looks a bit scared or worried to me lmao didn't wanna leave her out
I haven't been drawing much lately, I've just been getting back to it the last few days so I'm a bit rusty to put it lightly. The Debus are the best things I drew last night by a mile lmao and also the reason I got the scanner working again so uhh anyway I love these guys. Everyone go look at the Debus right here cause they're cool as fuck

Im only on season 1, so pardon me if this has been explained or at least acknowledged, but why the fuck are the brothers still in school? Its been on my mind for ages now because they’re how old? Literal eons? Okay, how long does it take to graduate from education? 20ish years? Okay cool, how the fuck are they still in the education system. Are they dumb? Are they teachers? Are they there to relearn information as technology and science has evolved over the years?? What the fuck are they doing??

i'm glad that this has resonated with a lot of people! it's really helped me as well. but i've been seeing some common misinterpretations and would like to clear a few things up. i obviously cannot speak for Swartzwelder or anyone but myself, but for those saying "this is good if you're good at rewriting, which i'm not" no! this is meant for you, too! especially if you are like me and absolutely hate the idea of revising anything! this method makes you HAVE to revise, your revisions ARE your writing. it's meant to get you to confront these hurdles so you can get over them faster. that way, you can overcome your fears and just WRITE. this is meant especially for people who are daunted by the idea of rewriting or fixing. this is meant to help curb that perfectionist brain and just get you to start.
i've seen comments that this method kills your creativity or is comparable to having AI start a prompt for you which is, again, not true! it's not inspiring you to be lazy with your work. it's just a suggestion to help people who get stuck in their own head and perfectionism and lose a lot of valuable time stalling over how to start. if you're not one of those people, that's fantastic! this isn't inspiring anyone to be lazy. it's a way to help accommodate the immobility and fear of starting, which can often be your own worst enemy!
likewise, i don't think he is saying that you HAVE to write this way. the general assumption seems to be "try this if it works for you". if it doesn't, then that's fantastic! if you assume it won't work for you, give it a try anyway! the worst thing that happens is that it doesn't work out for you. it's just a piece of advice, and advice is optional. been seeing a lot of fiery and antagonistic opinions added to this post--relaaaaaaax! it's just meant to help those who may need it, or those who didn't know they needed it in the first place. nothing more.

sharing a very sage bit of advice from The Simpsons' own John Swartzwelder that i've been trying to hamper down in my writing and drawing alike. let your inner crappy little elf do his worst

I might not have social anxiety but man I gotta tell you having perfectionism sure makes me FEEL like I do sometimes like it's always the build up like I need to make sure it is PERFECT before I do it or else I am a FOOL but like I also don't fucking give a shit? Like I do not care if someone doesn't like me or something that I made cuz they're a dick if they talk shit so like that is NOT my problem but then also just thinking about showing my art to someone of THEIR character and getting it WRONG just makes me feel like I'm gonna spontaneously explode cuz like I have tons of stuff drawn (or that I have planned to draw) that I can't even show off bcuz I feel like I will die

As the flash hits your eye, you feel something crashing into you from all directions. Below you is obvious, Bonbon situated themself to bump into you while the picture was taken. You look to your right, and Mirabelle’s cheek is pressed up to yours. On your left, Isabeau’s sheepishly hugged you to his side. There’s a hand in your hair, too, and it feels like Madame Odile. [...] “We need a souvenir of this trip,” Mirabelle adds. She rushes to the ground to pick up the picture and snort-laughs as she looks at it. “Oh no, Siffrin looks like we’re holding him hostage!” — Curtain Call, Chapter 9, by @openphrase123 (Link in the replies)
2024 October 22nd
Fanfic fanart fanfic fanart!! When I read the "hostage" line, it invoked such a clear image in my head of Siffrin tensed up like a startled prey animal that it got added to my list of things to maybe draw immediately.
Dooon't think about the words 'left' and 'right' in that quote too hard. I know how to read I prommy. :) (I did Not process those words and lost the coin flip in the composition phase...)
Close-up and ramblings about the cans of worms I unleashed upon myself under the cut
Tumblr media
Time taken on this was [head in hands] 48 hours and 37 minutes.... That bloated number has two culprits:
1) I got a new tablet! My old one was 10 years old. Its plastic was melting and the electronics had ghosts in 'em, so it needed the sweet release of retirement. However, I had just gotten to the line art phase when the switch happened. Clumsily getting used to the new one during the most precise phase of the process did devastating things to my perfectionism.
2) I made a GRAVE mistake with how I chose to color this. I wanted to keep the grayscale layers for accuracy instead of just slapping a B&W filter over the colored version, so all the colors come from gradient maps, color balance layers, overlay layers, and raster layers clipped to other layers. Listen. I'm used to working with lots of layers. I like keeping things separate so I can edit them more easily. But this is the worst layer system I have ever created. Going from color to B&W requires toggling exactly 20 layers & folders on or off. There are 87 visible layers total. This file lags when you edit it. I've never wanted CSP v1.13 to have layer comps more in my life.
Not helping matters was Isabeau. I said he was the easiest to draw in my last post, but he took that as a challenge, apparently. It's a simple fist-on-hip pose, why was that so hard!?! His face gave me grief too.
Odile's lil' wave got added at the end of the line art phase. I've never added to a sketch that late in the game before, but I felt bad about how little screen area she got, haha. Girl, I tried, but this composition was not kind to you.
Giving Isa, Odile, and Siffrin skin colors felt cursed. Well... "color" is maybe a stretch for Sif. The pallor from being affection-jumpscared isn't helping. In the dev's nose reveal post, they said that Siffrin isn't white but is white-passing, so BOOM albinism headcanon. Like c'mon, they wear a big hat and have most of their skin covered because the sun is a deadly laser when you have little to no melanin and idk if sunblock exists in-universe. Heck, maybe most Islanders have it, their whole religion is about the night sky so maybe they're nocturnal. This makes perfect sense. :)

i think you'll find that its actually normal and not concerning for girls to be more at ease with insults and criticisms (genuine or joking) than with compliments.
