i dont know what i look like but i sure hope it's exactly the same and nothing's changed. nothing about me has changed, nothing, nothing, nothing
part two of the loop redraws @greenflowerceo and i assigned each other! here's the one i did !! gosh knows i needed a break from work and school and comms aughhh it feels good to draw something different, original drawings of course from hit indie game In Stars and Time!!
hey it's me, a random guy on the internet, Okay listen (or don't, but this is some info for the writers in the ISAT fandom who want to hear a nitpick I hold in my crafter heart)
Siffrin does not carve with his knife.
This one, This knife right here ^^^ the blade is made for slashing outward (the curve increases dynamics and contact during a slice) or inward (inner sharpened curves are used in agricultural purposes with further evolution into weapons) it is weaponry, they should not be carving with it!
if you want canon reference as to why he doesn't carve, he literally states they lost their carving tools before the loops!
If you want to carve something out of wood, you need to have tools much thinner and more precise, not to mention Sharp to make something as simple as a spoon <- in this video alone, there's: spoke shave, draw knife, hook knife, and sloyd knife
(you can substitute gouges to that list as an alternative for the hook knife & add files if you don't use spoke shaves for a clean finish, some sandpaper goes alongside woodworking always)
Now I'll acknowledge that the person in the vid I linked is specialized in carving spoons & axe handles and has the tools for that, so if you're doing more Whittling, then "carving knives" are literally named for their use and they look like this:
small blade, big handle, also known more specifically as a chip carving knife, it's the most common used for small projects that don't use a vice (in the vid the vice is a special kind called a shave horse, used for objects that need adjusting while working yada yada dw about it)
but I wanted to make A singular post addressing this inaccuracy I see so often in fics and art when they mention carving, and I hope someone sees this as an invitation to do more research
just give him a different knife for carving post canon please
What kind of brushes would you recommend to use when trying to mimic isat's artstyle?
Oooh! Oooh!!
I'd love to answer this one, cause it actually took me a while to get it down!!
The program I use (Medi Bang Paint Pro) is pretty limited in terms of brush functions. If you use something like Clip Studio, I'm sure you can find a brush that suits your needs.
However, through trial and error, I ended up making my own.
The main key is anti-aliasing.
QUICK NOTES I DIDN'T DRAW:
1. NO PEN PRESSURE SENSITIVITY, TURN THAT SHIT OFF, The ISAT artstyle majorly uses round flat brushes (and maybe changes the size for detail accordingly.)
2. The sprites in game experience some corruption (if it's from program corruption or intentional choice on the dev's part is up for debate)
3. There in minor inconsistencies in the style and shapes. You're not gonna get Isa's face shape right, Sif's eye is probably gonna look off, Odile's hair is gonna be too poofy- that's okay. And even if your brush of colors aren't perfect that's okay.
4. The main important thing for ISAT's artstyle is the vibes, and there is no formula to that. Just try to find your own place within those vibes.
My last comic, I actually halfway through just stopped trying to imitate the artstyle, as much as I was just trying to express myself within that style's minor guidelines.
5. I also HEAVILY RECOMMEND looking at Tawny's guide on expressions, it's super helpful for GETTING those said vibes
So much has happened in this AU! It’s developed so much farther than I thought it would, and I figure everyone needs an easier way to access all the information rather than the tags.
Not only does my AU get a name, but it also gets this MASTERPOST!
BUT WAIT! There’s gonna be a lot of spoilers for In Stars and Time, including Two Hats. If you haven’t completed the game… Whatcha doing here?! Go and finish the game, ya silly!
Synopsis:
After SASASA!Siffrin wishes for someone else to take the burden of being stuck in time, Isabeau takes their place! And now Loop has to deal with The Consequences by becoming The Fighter’s celestial guide.
Smartypants Isabeau has discovered all of the secrets of the loops in record time, but what happens when he can’t rely on his brain to help him anymore? He starts down a mental decay of believing that his only purpose in this world is to be strong, stronger, and stronger still. What other choice does he have? He would do anything to set his family free from this torment… even at the cost of his own dreams and sanity.
