#cucumber's qa

ball-jointed doll for example, the furina, which I assembled over the course of six months or even more

Hear me out;

Canonly the monokubz are 100 years in the future so I reversed it (since I'm reversing them to humans) to consider talents for 100 years in the past.

Monophanie: Ultimate Engineer

Monokid: Ultimate Swing Musician

Monodam: Ultimate Clockworker

Monosuke: Ultimate Filmmaker/Director

Monotaro: Ultimate Samurai

Nanokuma: Ultimate Telephone Operator

And bonus of

Kurokuma: Ultimate Tutor

Shirokuma: Ultimate Graverobber

Tbh a decent amount of thought went into them. I was thinking about talents that weren't in canon, matched the time period, weren't common or cliche, and fit the appearance you drew them as.

Monophanie was the most difficult so I wanted to make it fairly vague. Engineer could mean a lot of things, and in the game, she did technically engineer another robot (But we don't need to talk about the details of that).

Monokid is a rocker, but rock didn't exist during that time. It was between swing and ragtime, and swing had more of that beat that matched him.

Monodam always speaks very strict and robotic, and his ears reminded me of inventor goggles (Like Miu wears) so I wanted to give him a talent that involved building but one that fit his "like clockwork" personality.

Monosuke is very money obsessed and controlling, perfectly fit for the role of a film maker for the starting up movie industry. I almost wanted to give him a talent of nobility, but found it was too similar to Sonia, and being rich wasn't a talent.

Monotaro should be pretty obvious, but I did some research to confirm when the last samurai passed away, which was in the mid 1900s, so it wasn't unreasonable for there to still be samurai.

I wanted to keep Nanokuma's technology driven look and role in canon, and he's literally wearing a headset, so I double-checked, and being a telephone operator was a booming business, perfect for Nanokuma.

Shiro and Kuro were a bit tricky. I wanted Kuro to have a criminalist talent, but Yakuza was taken, and gangster was too similar and too cliche. Although it was incredibly tempting, I decided to settle for graverobbing, which is often done to sell goods and make money, which could still be funneled into the black market, but wouldn't be within a talent title directly.

Shiro was mostly because of his role in UDG, a guide, teacher, and protector for the adults. He likes helping people, and a tutor is a helping talent that gives the impression of a well-rounded personality and intelligence for many topics.

Lemmie know what you think, I was really just playing around with the idea

We love using your sprites in the roleplay server honestly, they always spawn the funniest moments with them and the whole server loves your artwork. I think a majority of us follow you now? Anyway, we love your work so I wanted to share some of our moments with them, with you!

oh this is so,,,sweet and i'm going to blush (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

i draw in SAI2 so let’s start from original sprite png is required

draw line of parts you want to change, standard pencil

clean parts of sprite you need to edit, for this i use brush with blend

delete from original sprite unneeded parts and fuse with line

next step is coloring skin, i take original colors from the sprite without effects, just coloring

despite the fact that in the original they use a specific color for shadowing, i pick a lighter color and use "multiply"

for light on hair i pick this color, it feels better for me

author of the texture is @drv3sprite-edits​ (thanks for it!!) and i use overlay, 34% of transparency above all other layers (except skin ofc)

for shadows i use the same color as on pic 6 i’m erasing a little bit of shadows from the lighted side so it would look fancy

on clothes i do light reflex (on dark colors it won’t be visible) (from the light side) and add to the edges shine effect from the light side

above the line we add metallic shine

so about blur effect 1. we copy and paste finished sprite 2. take overlay for the layer above 3. and clip it to the sprite 4. do the gaussian blur, radius ±12 5. do 20% of transparency

(i forgot to add nails) and done!

hmmmm honestly i don’t draw in fullbody but i have this!!

*shrug* only this WAIT I HAVE SOMETHING
