what brush do you use to draw?

What brush DON'T I use /lh

Depends on the drawing! For sketches I like to use Clip studio paint's tapered pencil.

It doesn't hold bucket tool's very well though so I tend to use thin gouache brush to colour.

But if I'm linearting and shading? I use Paint tool SAI because I'm inconsistent. I do the lineart on their lineart layers, then use a bucket tool to fill colour, then airbrush & blend for blending.

Now If I'm doing lineartless? Back over to CSP, atm I'm using an imported pen & gouache blender.

Also big fan of dry gouache, gouache pens are some of my most used.

Now for backgrounds and all that good stuff? All over the place. I generally map out what I need with a pen or airbrush, then use texture / foliage brushes to slowly build up layers.

But surprise!! I have a secret THIRD programme - Krita. This one I know how to make my own brushes on. And it has a very nice water brush that csp doesn't

(Technically I could do ALL my art on csp but. I'm difficult like that /j)

Krita brushes I've made in the past include bees, freckles and musical notes

I have a freckle brush on csp but I don't like it as much, I tend to use it if I'm too lazy to transfer to krita (for shitposts and doodles instead of full drawings)

And finally I have a library of custom brushes on csp!

This contains things that are just sorta easier to use brushes for rather than draw individually such as foliage, sweat drops, fences, clouds (which I always do on screen layers) hair highlights, rope, banners, and whatever random brushes I downloaded from the asset store to only use once. Saves time and all that so I can put more time into the character art. Unless it's fire. I draw fire from scratch using dry gouache bcuz it's so much fun.

I draw all my backgrounds from scratch + brushes unless it's a shitpost I use an empty smurf bg for.

(Im not a company stan big hit can suck my ass)

1. Txt is not an aspect of bts? They are another group with a completely different identity. They are talented enough to match bts thats why armys love them and stan them. You are insulting them (and other groups) by saying that they are just another money making machine for bighit as a replacement for bangtan??

2. Idols hate bts lol everyone knows they do. They are from the biggest most prestigious companys yet they are huge flops compared to bts and that alone is enough for them to hate bts.. ik u are not asian but its a huge thing in asia, like if u work in a rich/huge company or are from a rich family u are so much superior to everyone else and then if someone without a strong background becomes more successful than them, the rich ones automatically hate them (if this sounds like the plot of a kdrama its because. Well. Kdramas are asian dramas and are based on real life)

3. Liking bts doesnt make one superior but liking continuously problematic groups does make one inferior and this is the main reason of twt fanwars because 90% of twt armys come from non western cultures and are deeply affected on so many levels by all the shit these groups and companys pull out every single month 👁👄👁 (dont say its just companys fault lol you know that nct member said lets not talk about this topic and its not just one example) ps: dont pull out the bts rapline were also problematic card bc they apologised for it and havent done it again

ok i’m gonna address point by point what you mentioned here. btw i’m assuming you’re different from the last anon i answered regarding “bts isn’t kpop” but if you are the same anon sorry for repeating stuff

1. i didn’t say txt is an “aspect” of bts. i mentioned them because what they are is the second bg big hit has created from scratch and the immediate successors of bts, a company that, until txt, had NOTHING but bts going for them. and even though txt is already becoming successful, the fact is that, just eyeballing it, bts brings in about 90 to 95% of big hit’s total revenue. big hit has a challenge regarding what they will do to cement themselves as a company beyond bts, and txt is the first step in that direction. when i say cash cow i mean a secondary source of income. my intention was not to disrespect txt at all, which i made clear in that textpost!! i don’t even stan txt and i’ve kept saying that they were far better than bts on the end of the year performances!!! i said, and i quote “txt ate them up because txt is a new group (that has a lot of passion and are hardworking ofc, this isn’t attacking them personally)”

just a little caveat though, an idol group is always a money making machine for a company... like. it’s important to me that you know that. like, i hope you know that big hit isn’t looking to make groups saying “oh boy, i hope they flop! i hope they’re happy doing what they like and i will never care about the utilities :)” idol companies are literally some of the most money hungry industries because they often operate at a loss. don’t for a second think that bts and txt and any group is more than an asset for the company, whose sole purpose is to make money.

2. idols hate bts?? listen, in the entertainment industry there’s always gonna be drama and backstabbing, so i’m sure there’s animosity between many groups, i’m not naive enough to say that no one hates bts, the same way i’m sure there are plenty of idols who hate exo, who hate red velvet, who hate x or y. but the way you say this is such a delusional, paranoid way to put it. afaik, the last celeb/musician to trash talk bts publicly was befree or whatever tf his name was, that asshole rapper who mocked namjoon and yoongi and called them sellouts for joining an idol group. and that guy is a fucking failure! i think he even went to jail, didn’t he? so please, tell me who these other idols hating bts are, and where are the receipts so i can blacklist them.

“huge flops” lmao good way to put all the other groups’ efforts down. stop thinking bts’ accomplishments are your own. they’re not. you have no idea the amount of effort each idol group, small or big, puts in just to be able to debut, so stop disrespecting THEM by calling them all flops. i know i’m not korean, i’m not asian, but i have korean friends and according to them all these groups who are supposedly “flops” are doing well in korea. just because they don’t have international success doesn’t mean they’re not commercially acclaimed in their own country. not everyone is out to get bts, i promise you. do you know who’s out to get bts? their akgaes. their sasaengs, and their antis, all those people online who send jimin death threats, who break into their property, who take pictures of their families. THOSE people hate bts and do more harm to them than an idol who says they didn’t like their new album or who said they don’t dance well. like please let go of the victim complex for one minute.

3. one part of stan culture i fucking despise with my whole being is fanwars using cultural appropriation and racism as “gotcha” cards. this is a clear example of this. first you say it’s inferior to like groups who have participated in ca. alright. i will give you that. the you turn and say bts hasn’t done that and that groups such an nct who have done it recently are to blame personally, it’s not just the company’s mismanagement. okay! so by your logic, being a bts stan is superior because even though they HAVE done problematic things, they apologized. it’s really transparent how you pick and choose what is an acceptable apology and what isn’t based on your personal feelings about the group in question.

i just need to know if you are black or if you are muslim or from a minority that has been hurt by cultural appropriation, if you are then you will know that when an idol group apologizes for doing such things, it is no one’s place but their own to decide whether to accept that apology or not. i am not black, or asian, i am a latin woman who can’t tell you whether it’s okay for bts to do the things they have done. you are contradicting yourself by saying other groups who’ve done cultural appropriation are worse, and then turn around and say to me “dont pull out the bts rapline were also problematic card bc they apologised for it and havent done it again” because guess what? not everyone has forgiven bts either! they have said the n word! they have done native american culture appropriation as recently as december 2020 and neither them nor big hit apologized for that! yoongi releasing the mixtape with that jim jones sample in it was NEVER addressed by him. it was a company statement. so who are you to say that the people still hurt by yoongi’s actions, whether intentional or not, can’t talk about it and be mad at them? IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY.

i am not here to pass moral judgement, that’s why i don’t bring up ca in arguments. it is not my place to say whether what nct did with the muslim aesthetic should be forgiven, the same way it’s not my place to tell people who like nct that they are “worse” for liking them. people who reduce their stanning to how many “woke points” you get based on the artists you like clearly don’t care about activism in real life, they just care about it online for fanwars. to feel better about themselves for liking “unproblematic kings” and well i have news for you, NO CELEBRITY IS UNPROBLEMATIC. bts has learned from their mistakes, but they will continue to make mistakes every once in a while, case in point, the jim jones thing and the native american teepees appropriation.

PRINCESS KNIGHT DEV LOG - 14 / 07 / 2020

Demo Script: 90% Completed - The Prologue has been finished in the game scrip file. - Alpha DEMO v1.0.0 is fully working without the addition of the game assets. - Script doesn’t include any choice menus yet.

I’ve been working non-stop with my partner, Asa’KoKo. to put the prologue script together. she has been doing proofreading, highlighting any grammar errors I might have committed and added a few recommendations for the composition.

She has also given me some insight on the plot and we’ve been discussing where to take the project. I had nearly 0 ideas for the project up until that point, and while we were working on it, some things were decided. Specially concerning the Canon Route and the the Canon Ending, which will be a surprise for when the game is fully released.

We haven’t scripted any choices in the prologue yet, the first DEMO will not include this, as we want to have feedback from people trying out the demo before including any choices or changing any parts of the prologue depending on what we gather from comments and the official DEMO Poll.

Character Concept Art: 15% Completed

- Concepts for Victoria (the heroine), Luka and Cedrik (two of the love interests) have been updated.

- Moodboards for Victoria, Alden, Luka and Cedrik have been updated.

This is a part of the project that is kind of on stand by for now. Asa’KoKo and I took a moment from it to talk about the “art style” we’ll be using for the Character Sprites and their Character Concepts, so we are now taking a break from Project Knight in order to make some test sprites with a few different styles in order to compose one that we like.

We’ve discussed some more ideas regarding the rest of the characters, but nothing is set in stone yet. I am also kinda working on a side project, so not much will be updated on this at least until we pick our art style for the project.

Backgrounds: 2% Completed

- Photomanipulation for the Drakar Castle Entrance BG has been completed with all it’s variants.

- Photomanipulation for the Bathroom BG in Drakar Castle has been completed with all it’s variants.

- Photomanipulation for the Drakarian Library BG is in edition process for the daytime filters (Noon and Night versions).

To be brutally honest... I suck at drawing backgrounds. So I’ve choosen to do photomanipulation with free assets from Unsplash and some other Pre-Made BGs that are free to use for both personal and some for commercial use. The project will be free, but we will still use itch.io’s “name your own price” feature for those who would like to donate to the cause.

Anyways, back on the topic, I’ve been trying to filter the photos so they look a bit more “anime-eske” and not too “realistic”. The goal is for them to look artificial. You can check the effect on our itch.io page, we already have 2 free BG assets uploaded!.

Other Advancements

- The team’s Trello Board and GitHub Repository are live (For OtomeFlag Devs only).

- Two BGM tracks are being discussed as possible assets for the Main Menu track and the Trailer/Game Teaser track.

The team currently counts with 4 members. 2 Coders, 2 CG/Character artists. Plus Asa’KoKo and I kinda work as the Jack of All-Trades in the team.

We are also making progress by having a share system in GitHub for the team members in order to make full use of our skills.

Our team as a whole is pretty laid back as of right now and possibly until hell freezes over. There is no need to rush things, just working on it as the creativity strikes and making use of our free time.

Some other things that have been advanced are textbox tests for a few of the project, though all of them are just very basic mock-ups made in photoshop with free assets and cliparts. Future GUI design will be done from scratch in Illustrator and Clip Studio Paint.

That should be it for now.

Sneak peeks into the artistic process might be found on our instagrams.
