Do you have any tips for someone who has never modded before? I have downloaded so many mods for my game, but would like to create my own. I've just never drawn pixel art, and I'm not sure how to or where to begin. Do you guys draw everything by hand? Or do you use templates? Thank you in advance! You guys inspire me so much, and I hope to be able to create amazing mods like you guys someday! :')
firstly of all, thank you! but not trying to be rude but, next time if anyone wants to ask modding tips, please check @boletusvallis (https://boletusvallis.tumblr.com/) because its mod Eiri’s mod blog :D
second im not sure about mod Mochi myself, from ive seen ive never saw mod Mochi do any modding work, she seems to only do spriting work and drawing but then again i never talk about it to mod Mochi myself so i dont know much,
third of all i do use template for hat modding but other than that i dont use it, and also its depends on what you mean by “never modded before”, if you know how to mod at least for the re-texpure part already then all tips ill give you are tips youve heard before from other artists when it comes to mimicking artstyles, if you dont know how to even mod yet then here
and for pixel art programs i heard GIMP is pretty bad but hey at least its just words im not sure if thats true, if you can code (?) or have money, i think aseprite is the best imo
lastly, for when asking for tips you might wanna give us more details, like theres smapi modding, re-texure modding and mapping modding, you have to tell us what are you modding so we can help, and add your problems too, like “im having a problem with mimicking sdv artstyle” or something like that
also im keeping my other tips for now so i can talk about it in the near future so i dont have to write something really long just to end out everyone ignores it
