I wont stop posting here till I’m kicked off screaming but my twitter, deviantart and (currently empty but might change that) instagram is @ amphibizzy
ok lemmie make a version of this with actual external links
instagram (may bacome active next year idk)
facebook page that i also left empty, might fix
i also have a discord but i dont trust like that
lets try that again
how do u scan your like. traditional pencil works and color them digitally? it always looks clean and good
things evolve over time and what exactly goes down depends on the piece, but heres the key shit. if u see something u happen to not understand then try google n im sure there will be info or ask me seperately
i scan at a high dpi so that they match the scale of my digital only works (600-800 dpi tho its honestly excessive) then i bring them into photoshop and use the levels editor to make whites white and blacks black and find the optimal balance of everything inbetween which varys per peice a little
if you dont have ps or a program with a levels editor or similar, brightness and contrast sliders are your next bet (raise contrast, lower brightness)
remember to also remove all saturation bcs u wont need it
i also occasionaly use liquify to fix errors. i havent needed it much lately but no shame using tools avalible to u lmao. i mightve used it here to lower Marinas leg
then i bring it into sai and with a combo of magic wand and selection tool cleanup, i select the background to erase/fill in with white (or merge onto a white layer after) and spot cleanup anything on the drawing like remaining unnessecery texture on white areas and dirt
then, the simple answer is that i set the layer to multiply then go to town coloring over if needed and below it. but ive been doing much more now to bring color out, putting it in a folder set to multiply instead, with an overlay layer inside the folder with it to color the lines and affect the color underneath it further
do flats, put them all in a folder and clip your layers for additional lighting to them and go to fucking town
also, above everything, 5-15% of this bad boy, hue change if needed
remember, these r tools, not laws. go wild babey…
u can see finished examples on my art blog @apple-cores (art shown: [x] [x])
merry peri day ???

i still wanna make that pocket lapeep shirt!! when im outa school itl be queued in my List Of Priorities
soon i may send u guys some options that u can… maybe not Vote on but suggest which is better?
If you make a shirt with a front pocket with a little Pocket peeking out, that would be the most adorable shirt i would ever definitely own. I’d feel good paying around the 20$ mark for that easy, and you’d be in the clear on copyright stuff since while Birdkeeper Peri is, herself, derivative work, the Lapeeps are your own creations. Light Green, Light Blue, and Black shades for the shirt would be great. Those are my thoughts, but I think it’s so cool that you make this stuff for us, so thanks again!
you can pick any color on redbubble, but il have it set to dark green for the default view, and the pocket and …. Pocket will be printed on!! i wish rb gave me more cut but like the print quality is always fuckin stellar
and trust me i already have my fanart up and goin on rb lmao, the real problem on redbubble is rampant use of logos and official art (i looked up botw once ago and it was ALL INFRINGE)
here.. u know fuckin what just. take ths
(ive been told #2 is better bc thats her usual pose + composition but i wanna adjust the wing there)
soon
She is such a snarky beauty! Whatever print you choose will be amazing no doubt, but I appreciate any chance to see more Pocket! (Now I just somehow need a Peri-Peep or Garnet-peep in my pocket to wear with suits, so I can have a real pocket-square)
