I did surgery to my tablet pen and it's fixed now yay, time to draw all the trolls

[betrippin]

I drew cereal

glitching

I've never heard of this before, but these are really cool.

Thanks, it's done by importing the image into Audacity as raw data and then messing around with it. A lot of the time you get a lump of grey nothing or a straight up broken image, but sometimes you get something cool.

[Turbro]

Would it also be possible to do that by opening it up in a text program (like notepad or word) and screwing with the gibberish that pops up?

[hotb]

I've tried a few times in notepad but it just borks the image. (Edit: Maybe try looking at the image in a text editor as Hex)

I think generally you need to be importing the data into a sound editor, probably due to the way it opens the data compared to a text editor.

When it's displayed as sound in a program like Audacity the header (Where the critical information is stored like it's dimensions) is right at the start of the "song" so you can avoid breaking it by only messing with stuff that's elsewhere. Messing with the header gives you images with dimensions like 100xWhoTheFuckKnows which image viewers won't take kindly to.

Using sound editing software also means you can apply the effects to your image, like changing the amplitude or the pitch of your "song"

So far I've had good results changing the pitch which often mucks the colour up, and the choppy mixed up effect is given by chopping and mixing up the data.

However it's never consistent and you just have to try new things until something works.

okay i'll try posting here again

this time i tried some fakemon starters


kirin

gryphon

tardigrade/bear (water bear huhuhu)

[The Willow Witch]

Aw man most of those are adorable and great, (but some of them have eyes that are sort of misplaced, if you look twice)



I made myself a little project to do, of painting watercolour fairys and photographing them doing things outside or doing things.

"They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose,
Nor spake, nor moved their eyes;
It had been strange, even in a dream,
To have seen those dead men rise."

[KingTsaiko]

That was beautiful.

[Wry Bread]

Wow, I REALLY like that tardigrade pokemon. Top notch!

[DoNotDelete]

Those are nice Fakemon. Kinda makes me want to draw up/update some of my own starter ideas I had from way back when.

I don't want to call them Fakemon though - I kinda want to distance myself from Cockfighting Society and Cockfighting Society fanart as much as possible this year - maybe I could re-conceptualise my starter ideas for a separate 'generic fighting monster game' concept.

[Caiman]

Ooooh! Paper dolls, sort of! I always wanted to try some. I'd need nice paper first!

Yeah, I know some of the eyes are wonky (unadia ugh) but I'm not terribly bothered by it because I only did them to relieve stress after I got into a car accident. D: I'd have fixed it, but a fakemon blog reblogged 'em on tumblr and holy shit people really liked them. I was floored! But it's beyond my ability to fix it there, now, so I just left it as-is!

People dig the tardigrade. That makes me really pop flyin'. What's surprising is that the gryphon seems to be the least popular! That tardigrade is way more loved than I expected (they all are!)

I've actually never drawn Fakemon before these! But I like to draw monsters a lot. I think you should, DND!


I started an ask blog for my fire gecko today, if anyone's interested!

I fucked around with text editors and images a bit during spare time in my programming class, and it worked pretty well with gif files. It has to do with the compression.

Another trick is to always replace a chunk of data with the exact same number of characters. It keeps the files internal notation mostly intact.

Had the idea that for warm ups for drawings, I draw something.
Warm up for animation by animating.

and I didn't have the forsight to realize animating takes significantly longer than whipping out a few sketches and wasted a ton of time I could have used finishing my animatic.
I did also finish my animatic though.
