June 2017

Ocean Gem Zine Pre-Orders are LIVE!

oceangemzine2017:

( First off, give @katiedrawsstuff a HUGE round of applause for her jaw-dropping work on the Zine’s cover! It’s a truly beautiful work of meep morp! )

Pre-Order the Zine here <—- !

That’s right! After some kerfuffle with the local weather, I’m pleased to announce that Pre-Orders for Ocean Gem Zine 2017 are officially open! All of our 74 artists are working hard on their pieces, and I have no doubt that this Zine will be truly incredible! 

I aim to do a similar concept that I utilized in my last Zine project, Log Date Zine 2016, where further towards the Zine’s completion, I’ll post a Mega Meep Morp Preview here on this blog to give everyone a little sneak preview! So, stay tuned for that near the end of July/Early August! :)

Take a look at the superb artist roster here !

In the meantime, go nab yourself a copy, as Ocean Gem Zine will only be available for Pre-Order until September 17th of this year! Further details can be found in the description on the Storenvy page!

#I'm drawing something for this!
Sorry if I'm bothering you or annoying you in any way with this question, but you had posted rules about what we can/can't do with your art. Some where in there it said we can't put it in videos, so does that mean we can't use it in MEPs or anything if the sort? I'm really sorry if this has been asked before. I hope I didn't anger you,

Yeah I’m not comfortable with people taking my art and using it as part of projects that I don’t know about and am not participating in myself. That includes pretty much all video projects including MEPs, AMVs, fanart slideshows, theory/meta videos, video thumbnails, etc. It’s really uncomfy for me to stumble across my art in a setting where I’m not expecting it and it’s doubly upsetting when the videos are monetized. 

I’m not upset or angry, thank you for asking for clarification instead of using my art without asking.

Hi! Love your work! You usually give awesome art advice so I wanted to ask- I saw you use a Cintiq. I'm on a Bamboo that I've had for quite a a few years now. The hurdle I can't seem to overcome no matter what I do (practice, pen settings, etc.) is brush stability. My lines always come out like I'm working on a boat in the middle of a hurricane. I was wondering if you had any advice for that or if you felt the Cintiq gives more stability. Any advice is welcome! Have a great day!

I’ve never used a bamboo before but wacom drivers in general are made out of cotton candy and paperclips and jittery/skipping lines seem to be a problem with all of their products. If it’s really bad you might just need to uninstall your drivers and reinstall them again (wacom’s site will have updated drivers for you to download) 

I can only compare to my old intuos but I do like the cintiq a lot better. Having more space to draw in helps with making nicer lines. (the bigger a motion you can make with your arm the smoother your lines will be) and the pen sensitivity feels a little nicer too.

Some other things you might try though are drawing on a larger canvas/at a higher resolution. The more pixels there are in your image the less noticeable it is when a line jitters a few pixels out of place. The way you position your tablet can make a difference too. I draw with my tablet propped up on a little pillow bc it’s easier for me to draw at an angle. I hope this was a little bit helpful!

What did you mean when you said you didn't flatten the images?

I draw using multiple layers on photoshop and flattening it merges all the visible layers into one layer. It’s good to do before you resize a drawing because sometimes layer styles don’t scale down with the rest of the image if you leave all the layers separate and it can look off. In the last post I decided it wasn’t too bad of a mistake and didn’t want to reopen all the files in PS to fix it for a silly joke but it’s something i just should’ve done in the first place. 乁(ツ)ㄏ

yeah i don’t mind! I’m fine with tags like kin, me, id, etc.

I hope you don't mind my asking, but how you choose your canvas sizes? I read in a previous ask that your default setting is 6000px x 9000px. Why that size? How do you scale it down for online posting, and what size brushes do you end up using? Ty!

6000 x 9000 is 20 x 30 inches at 300dpi. 30 inches is about the biggest i can make a file in photoshop without it getting laggy and misbehaving. Working on a bigger file is easier for me and it ends up making everything look cleaner. I’ve compared it before to drawing with a marker on a post-it vs drawing with the same marker on a big piece of poster board, you have more room to work with so you can be more precise. 

To scale it down i just go to image > image size… (in photoshop) and set the width to 800 pixels keeping the proportions locked. 

I don’t pay much attention to brush size. I think for sketching/lineart it’s around 30-40 pixels and for coloring I just change the size of the brush to whatever will wok best.

August 2016

Hey I'm trying to get better at drawing 3-4 gem fusions... do you know all the rules like _ gems = _ arms and _eyes?

Well with fusion designs there are no set rules. The crew has said it’s more about what looks cool. There -are- some patterns like amethyst fusions tend to have extra arms that split at the elbow, pearl and garnet fusions usually have extra eyes, jasper fusions are centaurs, etc. but these rules have already been bent or broken within the show itself. Don’t worry about accuracy too much, just have fun!

Whoa that's a good theory tho. We haven't seen blue diamond and her Pearl since the answer and that was thousands of years ago. What if blue pearl is stuck on earth

yeah! we know BD was probably with the rest of the diamonds towards the end of the war (at least whenever the corruption song happened) but if the palanquin was attacked there’s a chance bp was left behind. I feel like she wouldn’t know what to do all alone and would wait nearby until BD came back to pick her up. (although if she was on earth when the corruption song hit…well…) 

I gasped when i saw that page of the book. I hope Steven will get to visit it soon and we’ll learn more about what happened.

Where do you stand on this whole "Rose shattered PD" thing? So many online theories, my head hurts. (honestly I kinda think Lion is PD... don't hurt me)

I’ve seen a lot of theories about it being someone else who shattered her but I think Rose was definitely the person who did it. Garnet pretty much confirmed it. The only other theory about it I kinda like is that it was actually Pearl who shattered PD and Rose covered for her but I’m not totally convinced on that. 

I’d like to see a flashback or at least have a more detailed explanation of what actually happened. I doubt Rose planned to shatter PD in advance. My guess is that she tried to talk to her first and shattered her out of desperation. Context is important. But I like this reveal that Rose was not pure and perfect. It gives Steven an opportunity to be better than her like Bismuth said he was. Rose shattered PD because she saw it as the only option, Steven will most likely work to change the diamond’s minds without killing anyone. 

As for Lion, personally I like the theory that they’re a corrupted pearl. The pocket dimension makes a lot of sense that way. I haven’t seen any explanation for Lion being PD though and I can’t think of anything myself but maybe i’m missing something.

Would you be okay with doing a coloring tutorial, or just show your process with coloring? You just always have such soft and wonderful colors and I've been having a lot of trouble with my own coloring

My coloring process is really basic but if people are interested i could try and put together some kind of step by step thing?

Where's your commission info? I'm on mobile I can't see a link

There’s no commission info. I have two jobs and for the time being I’d rather spend my free time drawing for myself and not stress myself out with extra work.
