Finished my yellow Krawk sculpture- now I have a pet in each of the four basic pet colors!
if you're interested, you can see my threads of the sculpting process here, and the painting process here!
Ppl: “Glaze and nightshade all your art!!”
Also ppl: * does not mention that you need to have a fucking NVIDIA GPU and running nightshade on one image takes at best 20 minutes*
Like the online version of glaze/nightshade requires an account. And last time i checked they arent accepting new accounts because of the high pressure.
Like i make my art on my ipad. My MacBook is from 2014. If i tried to download and run nightshade on my decade old macbook and go throufg 10+ years of artworks i might as well just set it on fire.
Like majority of digital artists doesnt actually have a high end gaming pc setup. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to be able to run such a heavy program just so we can feel somewhat ok with sharing our drawings online. It’s ridiculous. I CAN NOT nightshade or glaze my artworks even if i wanted to.
I have a pretty decent gaming PC, and despite this I had to close ALL the running programs I had running in the background (aka Discord and Opera) to let it shade my art, and the result was honestly quite awful even on the lowest setting.
I have already shared it around, but if you can't run it try Artshield.
It will add a big watermark all over your piece (there's also a check button to be sure it worked). It works best on pieces with a colored background, with white backgrounds or B/W piece it won't always work, but it's worth trying it.
Also, post at the lowest resolution possible (I go with 72dpi, keeping the highest one for clients and Ko-Fi rewards only), maybe add a noise effect too. I always did it but I read a while ago it makes a bit difficult for the A/I to scrape the piece. Not sure if it's still true, but still, worth a shot.
Glaze and Nightshade are great tool, but they're sadly unusable for a lot of people, and I hope they'll find a solution.
Hey I made a post of available options to people who don't have a powerful tech + tips to make glazing/shading not as ugly :]
Show/Hide Sketch Layer Actions
I uploaded this action set to Clip Studio Assets. Asset ID: 2083426
I was thinking to myself: I wish I could switch the sketch layer on and off without having to look for it and interrupt my drawing.
Because there's a reason why "turn off the sketch layer, drawing looks weird" meme exists. Having the sketch layer visible obscures the a lot of the mistakes on the drawing layer.
Being able to effortlessly turn it on and off would mean you can do it more often and check your drawing layer more often without hesitation.
So here it is, after a few days of experimenting with auto-actions and some help from my friend teteotolis, and the community!
These actions look for a layer named "sketch" and switches its visibility on and off. No need to manually find the layer. No need to tap on the little square to toggle it.
If you bind it to some keyboard, or controller, or macro keypad shortcuts, it would be as seamless as how animators flip between pages when they animate.
Alternatively, you can add the auto-actions to the Command Bar or Quick Access palette.
It has some limitations: It will only target the lowest layer if you have multiple layers named "sketch", and you need two separate shortcuts: One for show, and another for hide.

Make illustrations, manga, comics and animation with Clip Studio Paint, the artist’s tool for drawing and painting. All you need for drawing
It was nice that this was possible at all. But ideally, we shouldn't need this auto-action.
I wish Clip Studio Paint itself would just have this as a feature instead of us having to hack it together. If you think this would be a good feature to have, please send the Clip Studio developers a feature request to them to let them know it's useful to you!
Peace and love

I didn't want to add it on Mai's characterization because I wanted to give her focus - however; Why Mai and Chihaya? Why are they a couple?
Chihaya slaps oregano and onion powder on shit and calls it a day you guys. He has no true flavor profiling. He recognizes Mai's ability, and though he can be coarse about it, he continues to give Mai confidence.
He's also someone that has been struggling with finding his own path. Their relationship is bound by mutual confidence giving. It's not a relationship without its own hardships and problems, but it's never portrayed as unhealthy.
Breaks my heart to see how many people have a negative opinion of Maya (Mai) after her transitional rewrite from ToT->AP. So, I'm going to do a little characterization breakdown!
Mai isn't just The Girl Who REALLY Likes Food, as much as Animal Parade would have people believe. Behind her "childish" personality lies a lot of second-guessing and feelings of worthlessness.
Mai's entire original character arc is how she's struggling with expectations and finding her own path.
In Tree of Tranquility, you first learn Mai is often in trouble for eating food in the kitchen that was made by other people (whether by Yuba or Chihaya or anyone else).
As you come to befriend Mai and Chihaya early on, their first rival heart event reveals that Mai can understand complex flavor profiles and strives to eat things in order to taste different kinds of profiles. She likes the way things taste, and how ingredients blend together to make different outcomes. She also mentions this in passing dialogue!
In such a small town, it's become a rather poorly kept secret that the innkeepers' only daughter has no penchant for the cooking the inn is known for. As you befriend her family, all they can do is talk about how they worry about her. It's even their main character trait on their profiles. But why?
Why should Mai's cooking be her downfall? Because Mai's expected to take over, to know the ins and outs of hospitality and cooking. The inn has been family owned on the women's side for generations.
In the face of her problems and anxiety, Mai has been struggling with what she wants to do and what her family wants. Coupled with the fact that the innkeepers give so much praise to Chihaya, it creates a cloud of worthlessness in Mai's mind.
And yet, despite all her worries, she still tries to approach things optimistically and with a smile on her face. This overexertion to be happy in the face of adversity can create an outward "childish" persona as she tries to play things off as fine. If you don't mature, you don't have to face the problems of adult responsibilities, right?
It's also likely that the pressure she's faced for years has contributed to her inability to cook. Her family, and Chihaya, who have a natural affinity for making things turn out well...It's no small wonder that she would be afraid to make mistakes. And that fear plays into her confidence; a vicious cycle for the poor girl.
That single road that she's been tirelessly railroaded into, overall has given Mai a poor self-image. To the point where she feels that she will never find love unless the person is absolutely okay with her being unable to cook.
And again, I'm asking why? What did she do to deserve such ire from the community populace?
Mai's complexity underneath her saccharine surface is why she's one of my favorite characters in this series, you know.
