ibis paint mogai headcanon icons tutorial / splitting flags

hi! bit far from my usual content but I came up with my own method of making perfectly split mogai icons on ibis paint x and wanted to share as I have only seen tutorials with other software. this is the method I personally find the easiest!

to start pick the size of your canvas. the number of this is important - I would personally go for 600 by 600 px. if you are choosing a number of flags which is more difficult to divide by, say 11, pick a number divisible by 11 which is closest to your desired size. E.g 605 instead of 600

I will be using 600 x 600 and 4 flags in this example

click “canvas” and “resize”. you want to ensure the “keep aspect ratio” setting is turned off. then divide your width by the number of flags you have. In this case, 600 divided by 4 is 150, therefore I’ve changed the width to 150.

your canvas will now be the exact width you want one flag to be. insert your first flag and scroll to the bottom of the little menu, and turn off “show frame around object”. this will make it easier to see what we are doing. as a note, if you want to zoom in or out the entire canvas you will have to do so before adding the image.

use the zoom function to fit the flag to the exact height of the canvas. I would advise using the scroller to get the approximate size, then using the + and - symbols to get the exact pixel match. you may need to zoom to the top or bottom of the canvas before adding the image to make this step easier

once the image is lined up, save it as a photo. you can then delete or hide this layer and repeat with the rest of your flags, saving each as an image.

if you add a flag with a symbol and want to see the plain section only, use the translation X scroller to move the flag side to side

once you have all your flag segments saved as photos, revert your canvas back to 600 by 600 either manually or using the undo button. insert your first flag segment image, which will perfectly line up at the top and bottom.

using the translation x scroller, move your segment so that it lines up exactly to the side of your canvas. again, if you have to zoom in before adding the image this makes it easier to see the individual pixels.

repeat this step with every flag, making sure that it does not overlap the previous flag or leave a small gap. if you are careful and do it right, all the segments will exactly line up to make 600 by 600 pixels.

if you have any queries feel free to leave a comment or dm!

how do you make your flags

well thank you for asking !!! time for Archies Flag Tutorial! i'll show my process for making the genderfunny flag

i start out by blocking out colors i want to use messily in firealpaca!

then, i organize them how i want them to go (and may tweak the exact hexes to my liking)

then, my next step is just a lot of troubleshooting & tweaking (at this point i may change the hexes, add or subtract stripes, etc) also, as a general rule, i tend to organize my flag colors either in descending or ascending rainbow (or value)!

then, i make the clean version & add a crest (if applicable)!
