When you're looking over you own shoulder
I'm losing it trying to grab better quality reference images. If I take screenshots of what the game offers, well for one I think it's only the school uniforms, and two, the freaking background. He's just looking over his own shoulder.
If I try to group images together from a wiki then it doesn't work as the image files are different sizes so it's not exactly as nice as I'd like it to be. I can't scale anything down because my programs suck at that. I don't want even the slightest blur. Also I found out that my art program doesn't do a good job at keeping the reference image's proportions.
I put an image in to try to figure out if I even really need to scale things down, forgetting that I want to change sizes so the characters are about the same size, just to find it doing something wonky. It was squishing the image by the x-axis and I did the only option I can find, resetting it. Which almost got it right, now the image is slightly stretched by the y-axis.
It is an older version of the art program so hopefully the most current version of the art program doesn't have that issue. I would certainly hope so as I have to buy the newer version. Which I'm going to try waiting on for as long as I can, partly because I'm on a computer so old that I worry for the possibility that it wont handle a newer art program.
This computer also gave me a scare that it was dying so I have no idea how much life it has left in it. Could just be a loose wire. Could just be that it's too freaking old. Doesn't help that I have no knowledge to help me here, but at least I have a dad and brother I can rely on for some assistance.
Anyway I'm getting so fed up and all I wanted to do was blur the boys so I could see if my oc/yuu could tell them apart from a distance or not since she's nearsighted and refuses to think she may need glasses.
