Did you know that Procreate doesn't have a lot of the standard filter/effects tools that Photoshop and Clip Studio have?
For the most part I'm A-OK fine living without those, but the one that boggles my mind is that Procreate doesn't have a stroke feature.
I bring this up because I use stroke a lot for subtle things, and I use it a lot for graphic things (like comic binding boxes, lettering, etc.)... and, for the current illustration, I used it for almost the entire background.
So do you want to know the stupid way to simulate the stroke effect in Procreate?
SURE YOU DO.
You have to duplicate the item, or lines, you want to have a stroke effect on... You then move it below your object/lines, gausian blur the duplicate beneath to 2 - 3%, then keep duplicating that blurred copy and merging it with itself until the extra selection of pixels created by the blur are, once more, solid. It's a lot of duplicating and merging.
PROCREATE, PLEASE, THIS IS YOUR ONLY TRUE FLAW. Please add a stroke tool my family is starving.
I'm far off from editing this spy au I'm podficcing, but I keep wondering how folks feel about gunshots/bullet sfx in podfics...????

** This may or may not effect my decision, I am simply just curious (I am already leaning towards not adding it because I don't want to exclude folks with ptsd or folks who just don't like the sound).
In case this clarifies anything: the sound of machine guns and pistols in particular is what I'm curious about, not so much like the dropping bullet shells or anything gun related that isn't a gunshot.
oh btw. quick tip for anyone playing wuwa. do urself a favor (bc kuro default sound settings sure fucking werent doing the game any 💀) and adjust ur in game sounds to something closer to This:
if you actually want a chance to experience the OST and ambience of the game as intended lmao
One thing I haven't seen talked about is the quality of the music and sound effects in the Kusuriya no Hitorigoto anime. I'm no expert, so I'll just briefly mention what I've been able to notice.
The music in KnH is so good that it goes unnoticed in the scenes where it is used. I don't mean it's lost; rather it blends in naturally and cements both the animation and the VAs' acting.
Same for the sound effects. It's impressive how many sounds we expect to hear in each scene. And yet, if one pays attention one can enjoy the sounds that accompany each action: the sliding of clothes, the crackling of fire, water running, wind blowing, the sounds of day and night, etc. The sound guys at KnH have done an excellent job, in my opinion.
Hopefully someone with more experience in this area can give a more complete analysis. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy KnH.
I know it's probably a legal/licensing issue, but it's fucking tragedy that Helluva Boss hasn't released any Official Soundtracks or Singles, considering how many bangers there are.
I desperately need versions that aren't edited 10hr youtube videos filled with distracting SFX sounds.
