Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

1) if you find you lose definition once an icon has been resized down to 100x100, don't be afraid to redraw bits of it at the smaller size. no matter what size I drew my art at, or how clear my lineart was, I always find SOME part of the icon will look blurry or non distinct once I size down. here's what I do: zoom in very, very close (normally to around 300%), grab the Pencil tool, and start recolouring individual pixels, or stroking over my lines in a low opacity (around 40%) depending on what the icon needs. it's surprising how a slight change to just a few pixels can sharpen your icon and make the facial expression more readable. it takes some practice, but you'll get good at it. constantly zoom out back to 100% to check how things are looking, and do all your adjustments on a new layer.

2) icons will often need sharpening, but have you noticed that when you Sharpen and icon, you'll get a light ghostly line around all the edges? you may want to use Sharpen to make your lines crisper, but you ALSO want to keep your colours lovely and flat. assuming you're working in flat color, make a new layer and set the opacity to "darker color", then colour over the pixels that got lightened. it will make your icons look a hell of a lot better, I promise. (the principle is still the same if you work in a style other than flat color, it's just more fiddly).

3) when using Transform to resize your art to fit within a 100x100 canvas, try and leave at least a few pixels "bleed" at the edges. what I mean is, don't let the outer edge of the art sit flush within the edges of the canvas. why? because photoshop does this annoying thing where if you resize an image sometimes it'll lighten the pixels at the very edge of the image. if you DO get this, you can easily color correct it using the same technique from point 2, but it's easier to just avoid it entirely.

are you anti-vampire, or the character? it might be worth opting out either way, if you don't want the character to get it. if you think the chance of getting it would be interesting for them to handle, that's something else!

conflicts - demon

You're being nitpicky and you know it.

We have logs of the bullshit she's said, and quietly ignoring it because she happens to dispense fun is basically telling her she won't get in trouble for it fully.

i just found a trick to make photoshop knock that shit off, re 3! it turns out that's a setting that's useful for photos, but not at all for art.

in preferences, go to general, and on the "image interpolation" drop down, select "bicubic smoother". i THINK that was it. i stopped having that obnoxious aura if i had to resize something right to the edge, it's beautiful.

I'm excited for it, too! Although I still own my PS, so I mean. Whenever I want to play it, I just throw that sucker in.

I'm a little scared because it doesn't look like they're updating the backgrounds, as far as I can tell, and it looks pretty tacky against the HD character models. I really hope they dig up the original high resolution art-I've seen some of it floating around the internet, but maybe SE doesn't have it anymore? Or maybe that's too much work for a port.

they posted their hiatus on the mod announcement plurk

that was their attempt at contacting them

no game accepts hiatus notices on the mod plurk because it's dumb and those get swamped
