    I am so sorry that FNAF released a character named baron von bear. Honestly they have too many characters these days. It’s like not trying to write a Simpson plot but for naming talking animals at this point. the mascot horror genre is hoarding all the names so actual kids lit can’t use them. :( want me to find the dude who took baron von bears name and give that game dev a wedgie? Anyway, I am happy to meet Doctor Baer when he arrives this fall! :) is the publisher considering a sticker set?

    Thanks, @mommalion7028! I'm actually at peace with the whole business regarding Doctor Baer's name. When I got the news it was an angry drive home, though! I'm grateful for your enthusiasm for the book. I'm actually working on a bunch of fun pieces of merchandise to go along with it when it comes out this fall. It's been a fun season of experimentation that I can't wait to talk about!

I haven't gotten much done because it's hard to focus when there's so many things I can/have to do during the day Could you possibly discuss something about it on your show?

    How do you separate layers when flatting? Does each panel have a layer, or each object in every panel? Example: in panel 1 of the sample page would the cats hat, jacket, pipe, etc...have their own layers?

  • @JerzyDrozd
    @JerzyDrozd3 жыл бұрын

    All of my flats are all on one layer. I make the flats layer a reference layer (clicking the little lighthouse icon in the layer palette while the flats layer is selected), then create two new layers above it. The first layer I call "Highlights" and I set its blending mode to "lighten." The second layer I call "Shadows" and I set its blending mode to "multiply." Both layers are set to 50% opacity. Then I use the Auto Select Tool - Refer other layers to select and in the sub tool menu I select "Reference Layer" in the "Refer multiple" section. From then on I can work on the highlights or shadows layer, but when I use the Auto Select tool, it selects color shapes defined on the flats layer. Hope this helps!

    The reference tool/paint bucket trick is one I use all the time. (Been trying to demonstrate it during Art Soundoff but technical issues messed that up.) The correct line width trick I would have thought worked for the line art. I just use the eraser and brush to fill in or clean out areas. Of course I do my own colors and my art style is light on details.

    So I was thinking of what would be a good replacement for Inktober because my understanding is Jeff Parker is being a dick so I came up with this 1 find a public domain mad scientist, inventor, or doctor that made a whacky creation 2. come up with 31 panel comic of them using that creation to become a masked crime figher 3 Draw one panel of said comic every day of october and post it onto social media 4 Tell Jeff Parker to go fly a kite! 5 Because this challenge was inspired by Hank Pym scientist who shrunk himself and fought ants in Tales to Astonish for the first year try to find scientist from books with "tales" in the title (if there are any) EXTREME CHALLENGE MODE instead of a 31 panel comic make it a 31 PAGE comic. Pad out the workload by remastering the original story if you like. and was going to call it #doctober but some streamer used that last year along with some wholigans so my buddy suggested #doctobercomics but thought this might be a good place to crowd source other suggestions and get some general feedback
