Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Zuljaras On a second side note: for a split second there, my crazy brain mixed up the words ProCreate and time-lapse. Combine that with "toilet art" and imagine the horror...

I do hope you get it, because I don't think the actual explanation will pass the censor bar...

@Zuljaras huh sure, which would you like to see? My avatar or my Merry Fishmas tree? Those are the only two interesting ones.

With my avatar, I drew it before figuring out several helpful features (like alpha blocking and auto filling), so it's a bit of a rougher process.

If you guys were wondering about the stream from sega they didn't show anything but the puyo puyo tetris demo is in the us and UK now so you can go and down load it here Puyo Puyo Tetris 2

They also said keep and eye on there twitter so they may show stuff in the coming days.

@ThanosReXXX It cuts off because that is where I am with the drawing. It records not time spent on it but brush strokes. It is amazing!

And yes I am not sorry We need some "toilet" humor from time to time

@Eel If you have some Pokemon ones it would be cool. If you don't anything is welcome. Just please no chibi shirtless guys! I've had enough of those in the last couple of days!

@Zuljaras Indeed we do.

@Zuljaras By the way: any chance that there's a new sculpting project coming up any time soon?

@Zuljaras impressive, how do you get the scale down without guidelines?

@ThanosReXXX
I also tend to re-read my comments to see if I need to adjust them. That's very true.
I understand that. I feel like it's better to explain more than less (unless it becomes an essay length, then that's too much). It definitely is hard to have everyone understand what we're thinking.
Yeah, that's the nice thing about this Thread, even if other parts of Nintendo Life are going haywire, at least with this thread will be a "normal" crazy at "worst".🤔

@TheJGG
That's why I'm asking Anti-Matter to clarify, as he told me two different years for the same thing. I mean, even if we get the chibi boxers calendar until 2024, at least we'll something predictable until now, and with last year being anything but predictable, that might not be a bad thing. I haven't heard of the penguiz0 video situation before. 🤔

Oh, and to answer the question that was asked yesterday regarding Frozen, it would have to be Frozen II by far. Just a heads up, this is probably going to be an unpopular opinion piece that I'm about to write, so take from it what you will. 🤔
I never have been a huge fan of Frozen I to begin with, as I found Frozen I to be kind of "kiddie" to the point where I couldn't enjoy it as much (Just an FYI, I rarely call movies, or games, "kiddie"). 🤔
Frozen II did everything better than the first one (IMO), like the music, the story/plot, the animation, and anything else I didn't mention that movies usually have in them.
I also wasn't expecting much from Frozen II, so that helped as well.
To make a comparison, it was like going from 3D World (Frozen I) to Galaxy (Frozen II).
I was going to edit my last response and put this part in, (as I was going to respond to it, but forgot to write it out), but then I saw that I got new responses so I decided to put it here instead.

@ThanosReXXX Right now I am making only earrings and neck-pendulums for my fiancé. No serious projects in mind. BUT I bought some varnish to make the sculptures stronger and have 2 effects mat and glossy finish.

@Mr-Fuggles777 What do you mean? I just draw what is on my mind. Do you mean if I use reference photos or images? If that is the question then no. But in order to improve I need to learn how to use reference items.

@Zuljaras Here ya go. You can see me fumble around with different brushes and taking longer and I should doing simple things.

@SM3DASislit
Usually i changed the layout every year but i planned from 2021 until 2024, the calendar will have similar layout as 2021.
I have a plan for 2026 that the calendar will be completely different unlike previous year.

If i usually make 1 character for 1 month, for 2026 i will make 26 different pictures in 1 year and each picture only have 14 days (2 weeks), so there will be some pictures that displayed two months instead only 1 month.
For example, 1st picture from 1 - 14 January 2026, 2nd picture is from 15 - 28 January 2026, 3rd picture is from 29 January - 11 February 2026, and so on.
The 26th picture will have 15 days as if you divide 365 days with 26, it will have 14 days each with 1 day remaining and i put the 1 day remaining on the 26th picture.

The idea of 26 different pictures for 2026 was based on 26 different letters, from A to Z so i will make Chibi Boxer / Kickboxer that showed the things about Boxing started from letter A to Z.
For example A will be the 1st picture and what thing that related about Boxing that started by letter A ? It could be Amateur. How about other letters ?
A = Amateur, B = Bell, C = Counter / Champion, D = Dodge / Damage, etc.
26 different pictures will be time consuming to make it so i can start that project right now so i will not in rush to finish the calendar 2026 project.

Sorry if i explained too long. 😅

@Eel That was awesome! Loved the process flow!

@Zuljaras I always have to sketch guidelines, like a bit of a skeleton to work out anatomy and positioning - you just new where everything was and was able to maintain scale without that

Is nobody going to address how ths trolls were the bad guys in both Frozen movies and non of the characters noticed

@Zuljaras haha thanks. It gets a bit crazy after the main drawing was done and before I added the candy cane mostly because I spent some time fooling around, looking at the individual layers.

Also, turns out youtube lets you add music from their library to uploaded videos, so yay, now it has music.

@Mr-Fuggles777 I guess that is why I change the shapes so much during sketching. I make lots of mistakes because of that.

@Eel Yep. I never used it but YT gives you some music that will not get your videos taken down or demonetized which is a nice thing given how they do not care for the little channels at all.

@SM3DASislit Indeed, that's why I also labeled it as an oasis. An island within the community, where we can relax, be ourselves and Chit-Chat to our heart's content...

@Zuljaras Haha, pleasing the missus, huh? Good on you, I can wait.

@Eel Cool video. I always liked your avatar pics, but never once considered you drew them yourself. You know what would also be cool? A version made to look like a bas-relief like the ones found in ancient Mayan temples, so a painted stone carving, slightly raised, made to look really old with some erosion. Your current picture actually inspired this thought, seeing as to me it does indeed resemble something Mayan. Or a kind of Greek, monochrome version could also be pretty neat, in my opinion.

Then again: what do I know?

That could be interesting. I'm not exactly good at drawing rocks though, or realistic textures.
