Previous challenges because OP will sooner kiss a girl before realizing the Question and Task don't need to be married: >Thread Question: Congrats your OC is now a type specialist, what's their type and how does their team look like. Of they already had a monotype team? Well now they don't. (oh also they can bring one mon from the old team along so long it follows the type)>Thread Task: Your OC themed either using "medieval" or "mecha" as the central theme. Bonus points if including mons from the tq.>What's a farfetch'd theory that your OC believes in?>What was your OC's "high risk, no reward" moment?>Who is the most famous person your OC has ever met? How did this affect their character?>What part of raising their Pokemon was the most difficult for your OC?>Draw your OC discovering The Truth.>Draw your OC's reaction to being caught in the rain.>Draw your OC caring for a Pokemon Egg.>Draw your OC dressed up as the protagonist of whatever region they're native to.>Spiritual Crossover: Draw your OC in someone else's art style.I thought of some really good new ones on the way home but I'm so sleep-deprived that I forgot what they were as soon as I stopped thinking about them :(
So... quick question:What's everyone here's thoughts on fakemons?Also, question of RukaAnon:Did you see the scrapped Mega Jynx? What did you think of her?(pic related is the Mega Jynx, in case you haven't seen yet. . . spoilered in case you don't actually want to see for some reason or another)
>>56894239Personally I hope Ruka anon feels good about that thing getting scrapped. Looks like satire than an actual serious Mega Evolution. It's a disservice to the Jynx species.
>>56894239Putting this Jynx next to Mr. Rime really puts a new perspective on some of his more eccentric details. Gamefreak has gone on record before saying that ideas are rarely ever scrapped permanently, but are often repurposed for later, so Mega Jynx is still with us in spirit.
>>56894239Fakemons in my opinion can and should only be applied to OC regions as while you can feasibly tamper with regional dexes using realmons because information is already available about them, you can't do that with fakemons because it's not something that a Pokemon fan would have prior knowledge of, likewise, an OC region has the same issue. Which leads me into the point that I was about to make.I'm still not certain about the setting of Alex's DnD adventure. Part of me wants to make it a sort of fantasy Unova, but I also don't like the idea of tampering with what little we know about its ancient history, because Ship of Theseus. I've been considering making an OC setting completely separate from the Poke-earth that we know, but this also presented the issue of "where do regionals come from". The answers that I propose is that they are simply "Variants", normal Sandslash live in the desert, "Variant" Sandslash live in the snow. This also opens up the usage of fakemon that I think would be fitting for Alex such as this Cloyster and Venomicon-E from CAP. That being said, I don't want to include too many fakemons and I want them to all be competitively viable, so I'm limiting myself to CAP and a few fake regionals at most, but since the audience are NOT familiar with these mons, I'd have to post a spreadsheet for mandatory reading in order for you to know the stats and other information about these mons. Fake regionals are also easier to justify than outright fakemons, so I could just limit myself to these few "Variants" so that the audience isn't completely blindsided, and it would lead to a much smaller spreadsheet. You know what time it is.https://strawpoll.com/2ayLQ1w7zn4https://strawpoll.com/LVyK2b4WKZ0I'm also open for taking title suggestions for Alex's fantasy AU.
Took a look at VRoid as an anon said to. Basically worthless for someone with zero modeling knowledge since any presets worth using all cost money. And god knows I ain't spending money on something I don't know if I am cut out for it or not yet. All the default assets are bland, basic stuff. No good for a clueless mook like me. Wake me up when AI can do 3D modeling that isn't made up of a literal billion polygons that will basically zipbomb your computer and make it sound like it's fans are preparing for takeoff.
>>56894352Really? No luck? Not a cracked version to play around? Or /3/ having a few models to experiment?What a shame.
>>56894373I don't know where to look for leaked paid model content and /3/ is a dead, doomposting board that makes /vp/ look fast by comparison.
>>56894440>a dead, doomposting board that makes /vp/ look fast by comparison.A horrifying thought.
Everyone give the editor your power. Not me though. I'll be going to sleep. Good luck, night shift.
>>56894352Like I said, Koikatsu is there, you could get cards from either https://www.pixiv.net/en/tags/キャラ配布(コイカツ) (the guys posting here tend to pay wall their shit though, 7 out of 10 times its paywalled or grabbed from another place and reselled as theirs), https://db.bepis.moe/ or https://arca.live/b/koikatsu if you are willing to deal with koreans, but if you are against it due to the inherent lewd nature of the game I dont blame you... PSO2 is there if you are willing to "Jailbreak" the demo they released a few years back.
>>56894690Yeah not really into Koikatsu, it's just an MMD-tier porn app thing to me. I also don't think PSO2 has anything I'm looking for considering what I HAVE seen of it. I'm a mook with no talent for modeling in a world of unironic gooners and digital content scalpers.
>>56894738Then I dont know man, Get the pencil or the program and just start doing it or make shit, if the easy ways leave you unsatisfied or you don't like them and you said you dont have skills, then the real way to get what you want is to learn and do it the hard way.
>>56894690Hey, someone who actually wants to improve here, can you explain what these links are and what Koikatsu is? I feel this stuff could be a good starting point
>>56894764
>>56894764You're not the first person to try to council a rock and you won't be the last. Don't let it frustrate you.
>>56894823As the "rock" in question, I just have no love for the idea of actually doing modeling. I'd probably try learning animating if I had a 3D model for Emily already to just try and manifest ideas with but I don't have one so--
>>56894641Okhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrI-UBIB8Jk
>>56894841Rigging and animating isn't any easier than making models you know.
>>56894869Making a good model requires a modicum of art talent that I don't have. Animating and rigging does not.
>>56894875Why do you think animation doesn't require much talent?
>>56894883Different KIND of talent, bobo
>>56894886...do you have animation talent?
>>56894886>>56894900Ok, now I'm interested.
>>56894819Porn game that has a really good Character creator that the community modded to hell and back. You want pokemons? you got pokemons, neptunia? in there guns? in there, SAO? in there. Its just a way to get a kind of cheap 3d model of a character that you can then fuck, if you get any extra use out of it, that is an extra. and people have been doing or making comics or animations using Koikatsu as a "engine".
>>56894923Checked the price tag, I'm gonna stick to banging head against the wall that is Blender. That's interesting though
>>56894969>price tagPeople pay for Koikatsu?
>>56895015Not home right now, so i cant earnestly check yet, but I found someone bitching about a 60 dollar price tag
>>56894900I don't know. But it's still a different TYPE of skill to build up regardless and the idea of it at least has my attention and willingness to sink some time into if I were to ever manage to maybe get a passable 3D model of Emily commissioned from someone.
>>56895015>>56895082Let me see if I can find a free version. Some guys in the /mlp/ board have been using a cracked version, so maybe you can play with that for a while.Or at least, fap for a bit.
>>56895092Ok, so I found it. Sadly, many Pastebins with resources are gone, and most of the cards are relevant to that board, not this one. But you can still download the game.>https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/4119656>https://dl.betterrepack.com/public/
>>56895092Does /kkg/ not exist anymore?
>>56895282I don't go to /h/, but you can grab anything from there if you find something useful.
finished round 2 of editing Gilded Platinum. Focused it all on the chapter Hunter is introduced.Chapter 7 will be the gym battle and perhaps some new characters can be brought in.
>>56895869Woke up to say you're doing some amazing work, keep at it.
Uuuuugh still need to figure out other things for Emily and Mari to do in the landlocked Lumiose City but nothing is coming to mind. Why is Lumiose such a waste of space? All it has is fucking cafes/restaurants, fashion spots, a musuem or 2 and the Gym and Battle Institute. Not even the anime itself could fucking come up with anything interesting for this city. It was just sightseeing and cafes-- which isn't all that interesting from a writing/reading perspective as the main bulk of an SoL scene imo.
>>56894969>>56895015>>56895082>>56895092The company went under or closed down, not being capable of getting it oficcially for 1 or 2 years by now. So piracy/cracked version it is.>>56895282>>56895352the thread is still there, I just didnt wanted to make the conversation be entirely related to the porn game. Just go there to get the various content you may find useful.
>>56894923The grymanon makes some insane stuff with it
>>56896321>I just didnt wanted to make the conversation be entirely related to the porn gameI can understand why. One misstep, and we will burn and crash harder than the old /tog/.You know what? All I will say is: we have the tools. Those curious can use them, and they know the pros and cons of said tools.As for those who use KKS and make SFW, this is for you:>https://youtu.be/0mfJn604GT4?si=Jb9uxNwlw2WIIhVU
>>56896699>One misstep, and we will burn and crash harder than the old /tog/.Eh, I think we do a pretty good job of policing ourselves here, no need to be dramatic about it.
>>56896189Rock climbing is fun, Lumiose doesn't have to just be what's on the game map. Axecades are also fun
>>56894239>>56894263Ruka anon here! Honestly while it's not exactly what i would want out of a mega Jynx but there's stuff I like. I'm assuming this is less or a "this is what it would have looked like" and more of a "here's just a rough idea of what we could do."-THINGS I LIKE>I like extending her hair into a large mane. I always thought Jynx's hair was one of its most noteable traits as pokemon tend to either have fur or just parts of their anatomy that resemble hair but aren't. So exaggerating that is pretty cool.>I like the little cowlick on top of its head. It kinda harkens back to the same cowlick present on its preevolution,smoochum.>I like the dress. The white trim and powdered dots give it a strong "snow" motif. Like a fur lined winter coat.-THINGS I DON'T LIKE->The eyes. I get what they're going for, making her look almost crazed with psychic power (or maybe she even type shifts to dark, who knows?) But it just clashes with the rest of the aesthetic. Everything else about the design is leaning into how icy and cold she looks but this is the only element that looks like it's referencing psychic powers. Maybe they're supposed to look like sunglasses? Like a rich older woman type of aesthetic?>the arms/hands. I know that they're exactly the same as Jynx's. And that's the problem. They feel like an afterthought. I've always kinda liked the idea of Jynx having free floating hands since its open palms are always so prominent in its design.>>56894313I have considered giving Jynx a mega evolution and just saying that Jynxite is really hard to find. That being said I feel like it's too "my main character is special" for my tastes. Also I'm afraid game freak WILL eventually release an official mega Jynx and then I'll have egg on my face.
>>56897916>I'm assuming this is less or a "this is what it would have looked like" and more of a "here's just a rough idea of what we could do."Nope that's the official finalized design. It got ability, stats, typing and everything short of a 3d model. The reason they scrapped it is the old classic excuse
>>56897916Hey, friend. Still enjoying the vacation? >exactly the same as JynxThat's how I look at it too. There's not really enough new to justify why it's a Mega. Compared to its peers like Gardevoir and Abomasnow, Jynx just gets a wardrobe change. Now that I think about it, the idea of a mon's accessory hogging all the Mega energy would be reused with Mega Slowbro too.
>>56894142>Thread Question: Congrats your OC is now a type specialist, what's their type and how does their team look like. Of they already had a monotype team? Well now they don't. (oh also they can bring one mon from the old team along so long it follows the type)Alright I'm gonna cheat just a little bit.>Water RukaAlways wears a bikini top regardless of the weather. Has her hair tied in a ponytail with blue highlights at the tips. Her tan is even deeper due to spending so much time in the sun.>Water Ruka teamStaryu, Slowpoke, shellder (sometimes attached to slowpoke) Azumarill with her ace...Jynx. Jynx runs a dry skin set setting up rain for passive healing and using it to power up its water pulse. Then once the opponent is drenched it freezes then solid with ice beam.>Fairy RukaConstantly wearing flashy and gaudy looking fashion. She wears her long hair down with curls at the ends and the tips are dyed a vibrant pink. >Fairy Ruka teamClefairy, Aromatisse, Azumarill (again) and....tera Fairy Jynx. She Tera types her Jynx fairy to remove several of its weaknesses while also being able to outspeed and threaten the poison types that counter it with its speed psychic attacks. Stays healthy with its draining kiss and obliterated dragons with Blizzard. I could also be talked into putting bellossom on this team, a pokemon I am shocked didn't have the fairy type added. (Not that I mind. A 4x weakness to poison would be devastating.) But it does learn a lotta moves like moonblast that fit the fairy aesthetic.I guess the real question is if type specialist means "only can use that type of pokemon" or simply "their team revolves around a type/strategy. Like how there's gym leaders/elite 4 who use pokemon technically outside their type but fit their overall theme. (Such as lance using gyarados)
>>56898117>still enjoying the vacation?I've been back for weeks haha. I've just been a bit too busy to devote as much time to the threads. Trying to do commissions and stuff.
>>56898201O-oh. Well, I've been busy too! Hardly noticed you were gone. ;_;
I don't exactly have an OC I just daydream about myself living in the Pokemon world going on adventures though all the regions.
Water ruka
>>56898726oh no she fell over :(
>>56898726I gotta say, I never thought of Jynx as a cute pokemon until I saw your drawings. They've really been done a disservice in all official material
>>56898829Some of the manga and anime has let Jynx emote more than the games let her. To be fair I kinda find Jynx's default blank expression to be cute too in a dopey slowpoke kinda way. It's pretty amazing how much simply adding eyelashes does for Jynx.
Bump.
>>56898175>if type specialist means "only can use that type of pokemon" or simply "their team revolves around a type/strategyHonestly, a type specialist can mean anything you want. From a team that specializes in Speed or Special Attack to an all Friend Evolution team to Rain teams to Stall. Feel free to get creative!>Like how there's gym leaders/elite 4 who use pokemon technically outside their type but fit their overall theme.You'd never know just by looking at Flint's D&P team that he's a Fire-type specialist. Knowing just one Fire-type move is enough to qualify.
>>56899825The guy who wrote that TQ here, yes I did mean monotype teams, but if twisting the definition of type specialist makes shit more interesting, go for it. Not like I can stop you or anything
>>56893501These tasks are kind of weak Except the BR one, but I already have BR character, and he doesn't serve ANY purpose in Pokémon, so I'll skip them. I'll go with these.>>56894142If David were to be a specialist, he would be a Ground type user.>Hippowdon>Marowak>Golurk>Ace: SwampertAnd if is a rematch, then is:>Golurk>Mudsdale>Rhyperior>Excadrill>Torterra>Swampert>TTI made an JRPG and a Cyberpunk pic, so have a fantasy one I tried with Bing using Boris Vallejo's artstyle. Guy has some cool drawings. David would be a barbarian.>Theory?Since David encountered a Ditto with a screaming mouth and a horn, he believes there are some "primordial" Pokémon society doesn't want to acknowledge.>All risk, no rewardHis Sinnoh league. He went thinking the trainers would be strong, but left dissapointed because he felt it was more like a chore or a grind.>"I must've tackled that challenge with the wrong mindset", David occasionally thinks.>Most famous personProbably Steven before he became a celebrity himself. It was random chance: David got the last badge, but was stuck in Sootopolis, so he needed a job. People were hiring for an expeditionary crew, so he took the job. He didn't imagine it was a private venture from Mr. Stone.>Most difficult part?Personalities. Some Pokémon required a trainer with backbone or a strong character to keep them under control, and he had a few problems since he is a relatively calm person. But he manages.>DrawI wish I could.
>>56899969>I wish I could.I wish you could too.
>>56897916Naruhodo.I quite liked the design honestly, although my own opinion on her is superficial at best:>I'm what would be called (or *is* called) a hairfag, and the longer the hair, more I like it, so I also liked the growth of her hair;>As someone who really likes eye powers, I actually like the eyes, but yeah, I can see how it clashes with the rest of the design.Either way, it was nice to read your thoughts on her.Also,>I have considered giving Jynx a mega evolution and just saying that Jynxite is really hard to find.>I feel like it's too "my main character is special" for my tastes.While it's a perfectly reasonable reasoning, how often has it happened of more than a single trainer being seen with a certain Mega? I stopped watching the anime around Hoenn and the Adventures manga I had to put on hold after finishing the 1st arc of BW (and have yet to resume) so I can't say anything about them, but in the games, do we see anyone else using a Mega Lucario, Mega Absol, Mega Salamance, etc (well, except the Chosen One protagonist, of course)? So I'd say any Mega Stone *is* the rarest item one can find, but at the same time, it's still something anyone can find.>Also I'm afraid game freak WILL eventually release an official mega Jynx and then I'll have egg on my face.Mewtwo and Charizard already solved that problem.Mega Jynx X and Mega Jynx Y.All that said, not trying to convince you or anything, just thowing some coins around.>pic only tangentially related.>>56897957Can we really call a scrapped design "finalized"? As far as I'm concerned, any design that has yet to be implemented and released is not final. If they decide to revisit the Mega Jynx idea for L:ZA, it's more than likely that they would make some changes to it.[...]
>>56900296[...]>>56894331While personally I can't say I care about "competitive viability" and such things when it comes to making fan content, "the audience are NOT familiar with these mons" is a fair point, so it would be one thing if it was just to be kept for myself, but I'll refrain from adding random fakemon to my OC when it comes to sharing with you folks. . . I do very much want more moths, spiders, mushroom and ghost Pokémon tho...
>>56899825>Flint coming to the league with his team>"Is it... Imperative that you have the lopunny on your team?">"I taught him fire punch, didn't I?"
>>56900304The fact that the Lopunny is a male just makes it worse.
hope everyone's awake and alive. I think I qualify for maybe one of the two.
>>56893501My pen arrived in the mail today and of course the first thing I do is drop it on my tile floor. No scratches or dents or other forms of visible damage but I really hope that this doesn't impact its usability. All that being said I don't think I'm going to use it this year because I need to get Black Blaze finished before the year ends. Koa Interview should be finished tomorrow, I'm working on the final scene now.>>56900302There's not really a point in me adding fake regionals if they're not going to be good. Otherwise there's no reason for Alex or the villain to use them. I'm probably limiting myself to fake regionals just to put them in that space where they're familiar but you also want to know more about them. I'm also probably adding this in, because I find it strange that normal Revavroom would exist in a world where cars don't. That Cloyster >>56894331seems pretty good, it has good stats but a shitty defensive typing but so does Weavile and it's at least faster than Aegislash so it's useable. It sounds fun as fuck to write as well, with a majority chance to poison and Merciless in conjunction with Glimmora's Toxic Debris sounds like it's going to hit hard, in addition to multi-hit shenanigans. It's keeping Rock Blast in my writing as well and it's also thematically fitting, plus I can make a "belly button piercing" joke about Cloyster shanking some poor lady bandit in her stomach.
>>56900348Is Wally's Gardevoir, all over again.
>>56900665>he specifies female God, if I was still in college I could have written a case study on you. Don't worry about the pen. The only part of it that matters is that little nub on the tip, the rest is just for your benefit.
>>5689882990% of the reason people think Jynx is ugly is because it's eyes are blank vacant dots instead of lapras bedroom eyes
>>56899825Flint doesn't specialize in fire pokemon, he specializes in hot pokemon
>>56900491The fact you are posting means you are, at least, so go to bed.Sleepwalking posting isn't very good, mainly because you are too sleepy to read the posting.
>>56900304Why Fire Punch and not Fire Kick? I feel Fire Kick would've been more useful.

>>56901194Sell me on the idea, desu-kun.
>>56900727If there's any armchair psychoanalytics behind that, it's completely lost on me. There's illustrations of some anime boys with them on (but you'd call that gay just like the idea of male midriff exposure in general), but we basically always think of women as having them, so that's why. Unless you want to argue that having a male victim would be funnier because "subversion of expectations" or some bullshit like that. I could also make a skewer/kebab joke about that and have the needle driven through several people at once. >The only part of it that matters is that little nub on the tipWell now I'm worried about that. I wonder if I need a case.>>56901239That guy is a posted named "David" (not our David) who occasionally posts his concepts in fakemon threads or makes threads with a tripcode to shill them. /vp/ is getting quite frustrated with him (and has been for some time now) for not actually developing his fangame and just meandering around slowly drawing artwork. Like a Pokemon fangame YandereDev, but without all of the weirdness and controversy.

Kouji-Anon here. I have managed to convince my DM that we should slap our conversion system into a PDF for everyone's enjoyment and use. ETA is probably a few days for our first iteration, and I'm sure I'll convince him to open up our discord for people to watch our sessions as well. I'll stop by with any updates assuming things don't crash and burn.

It's the reprieve before the harsher shit starts up.>>56902202>detailsAlright let's see if I can do it satisfyingly.>Ema was confirmed stalker OOC for Kouji because it was her first friendship with a guy and she didn't know what to do so she just focused on him>during the week kept texting him and overall wanting to hang out like lunch and etc>continued to stare at him during class>during the weekend asked to meet up with his group>do a quick battle against her group and beat them HARD>Ema wants to take a short walk with him while the groups converse and compare strategies>gives him a bracelet with 7 feathers on it, each different than the other>it's a bad luck catcher charm she crafted while exploring the forest with her group>it needs 7 naturally fallen feathers from 7 different pokemon to be made (game effect: if a critical failure is rolled, the bracelet breaks and instantly becomes a critical success)>Kouji was a bit taken aback by the timing but was overall flustered and happy>unbeknownst to Ema, Kouji is actually a bit of a sewer craftsman, a perk from being a part-time warrior and being an older brother>was told by her previously she never had any real friends growing up except for ghost pokemon that hung around her family's estate, which is why she didn't know how to act as a friend with Kouji beyond staring and smiling>during the weekend Kouji spends a lot of school points (money) and works on a doll of her old childhood friend ghost pokemon (Lilorina from Pokemon Untamed)>literally works and wastes money until he gets a natural 20>Monday, he pulls her aside during break and sheepishly gives it to her>for the first time she drops her smile, stares at the doll, looks up at him, asks if it's for herJust like old times. Cont.
>>56901194Colored and revised!
>>56902274>Kouji nods and tells her it's meant for no one else BUT her>tears roll down her face as she reaches out with trembling hands and takes it from him>she brings it up to her face and silently weeps with tears of happiness>Kouji is retarded and thinks she hates it so he starts freaking out and apologizing up a storm>she shakes her head, hides her face with the doll, takes a minute to calm down and looks over the top of it with reddened eyes>"I... love it.">turns out Ema is and was extremely lonely and while she has made friends, has felt out of place because she went from her family's estate to the school without any social interaction beyond her (as Kouji now knows) her abusive mother and ghost pokemon>she stares at Kouji while continuing to hide her face before she goes back to class>when Kouji comes back the class stares at him because Ema is teary-eyed and and smiling so earnestly that she's practically shining>later on Kouji takes her out on a date after he learns from the boys that she's obviously into him and he takes her to an amusement park>he reveals to her perhaps foolishly toward the end that he isn't sure if he can reciprocate because he's been holding a torch for a girl prior to the school for so many years that he doesn't believe he can give Ema the attention a proper boyfriend should have>she seems saddened by this but is happy her told her and thanks him for the date>date ends bittersweetly... NOT>Kouji realizing he's fucking retarded and hurting a girl because he is simping for another girl who has likely moved on>asks Damian who also had an amusement park date with Alice which ALSO bombed for a favor>spends 300 dollars to purchase fireworks>has Damian set it up far enough away so it can be seen by the entire school dormitories>Kouji calls Ema>"Hey, can you come outside?">Ema comes outside and stares up at Kouji, smiling, but also not quite...Cont.
>>56902333>Kouji gently puts a hand on her shoulder and turns her to face the sky>presses the send button on the phone in his pocket>Damian uses his fire pokemon to light the fireworks set up>he also texts Alice to look out the window>Ema stands there, eyes sparkling from the MASSIVE amount of fireworks lighting up the dusky sky>Kouji: "I'm sorry for being dumb. I... I might be wishy washy, but there is one thing I know for certain.">Ema: "....">Kouji: "I'm happy when I'm with you and, if you're alright with it, I'd like to keep seeing you—">Ema cut Kouji off by grabbing him by his collar, standing on her tippy toes, and putting all her strength into her tiny arms to pull him down and kiss him>it was an innocent smooch before they pull away and Kouji stares at her, beet-red>Ema: "O-of course... I'd like that.">girlfriend # 1 GETOThat took a lot longer than I thought. The long story short however is that Ema and Kouji begin going on wholesome deitos where Kouji learns Ema is so innocent she doesn't even realize why she wanted to kiss Kouji beyond just natural instinct. Since Caterina's is about as long, I might save it for another time. Also pic related, what Ema wore during their first date.
>>56902274>>56902333>>56902372My boy Kouji learning the path of the rizz, great story.>>56902286>Drawing Byron from memory, but you remember he is Roark's dadNah, he is fine. Good job.
>>56901523Stayed up entirely too late, but I wanted to introduce the new character. Will go over and edit it with fresh eyes after some sleep.Here's the link for those who don't want to scroll up: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQ-nOYYjxC_pJ1h03frpZgCDbtlMp94oYRB43MrhMsu7sYL_dBT-ypbrrr16CIS-i_RfMgCtkwRvj98/pub
One bump, and off to bed.See you later /tog/.
Bump before bed, see you niglets later
My trainer OC isn’t a pokemon trainer but a waifu trainer who catches and trains anime girls.I even made a team for him complete with giving the girls base stats, typings, abilities and the likes, and gave them specific sets in accordance to my made up waifu metagame for my OC to use.I use him to defeat female trainers on JanitorAI then catch them to add them to my collection.
>>56903416Moemon?
>>56903416The ultimate gacha master. The "Trainer".
>>56893501I have my pen with me but I’m still probably not going to use it until next year. I also have a lot of other stuff to figure out.How does a drawing tablet… work? I’m using my laptop asa tablet right now since I don’t want to spend money before I know I’m not going to give up (which I’m sure there is a very high chance of happening at some point. Do you *have* to use it as a stand or can you just lay it flat on the table and draw kind of like on paper? What programs do you guys use? I’m thinking of buying SAI because IIRC it’s a one time purchase and it’s supposedly easy to learn and you can do a lot with it despite being “basic”. Krita is the other option that I’m considering. I’m not going to pay a fucking subscription for Clip Studio and I’m not going to use Adobe Fresco because even though it’s free now it’s really for a very different kind of art than stuff you see online. I’m sure Archivist is going to give a “If it’s free, you’re the product” rant about this and I’m also sure as hell not using Photoshop. Course registration is also being a massive bitch so I’m not sure if I’m going to have as much free time within my daily schedule as I did this semester. I’m not exactly regretting using my time on writing instead of drawing but I’m sure that next year on the slim chance that I don’t give the fuck up like I usually do, I’m going to get some “Why didn’t I try this sooner” bullshit from myself.
>>56903567>I’m sure Archivist is going to give a “If it’s free, you’re the product” rant about this
>>56903567>can you just lay it flat on the table and draw kind of like on paper?sure>programsKrita
>>56903567>How does a drawing tablet… work?Like an extremely accurate mouse.>Do you *have* to use it as a stand or can you just lay it flat on the table and draw kind of like on paper?Depends on the kind of tablet and how you usually draw. Screened tablets will naturally want a steep angle, becasue duh a screen, but "normal" tablets (ie intuos, bamboo, etc) can just lay flat on the table.As for software, amongst the free shit there's sai, but if youre not buying second hand, your tablet may come bundled with software of your choice, from which i'd greatly recommend csp if available (my intuos s for example came with a 2 year csp license for reference, but idk what the offers are now). Slight tangent on csp, it's not just subscription only, it also comes with perpetual(lifetime) license which is reasonably priced I'd say, just watch out to catch it during discount season (christmas)And yes, archivist is correct, if you don't pay for the product, you are the product. Pirate your shit when possible.
>>56903898>Pirate your shit when possiblePreach it, baby.
>>56903898I think you read a bit too quickly. I don’t really have a dedicated tablet until at least I figure out whether this will be a commitment or not. I’m using my laptop as one. I tried using it angled to do my math stuff today but it felt weird to write, so that’s why I’m considering just going all the way and using it flat. I know Wacom adverts also show some screened tablets being used flat.>>56903930I don’t trust torrents. You could easily get what you want but you could also end up downloading cheese pizza or a virus (or just a vat of regular porn). I don’t trust my VPN to fully cover me either.
>>56903960I've just been putting my wacom in my lap all this time. >I don’t trust my VPN to fully cover me either.Nothing you probably intend on downloading is going to be important enough for your ISP to crack the whip. Or maybe whoever administrates my ISP has just been based all this time and I don't know it. It's fair to say that if you're downloading something long past the window where it was profitable for a company to care about it, they've got better things to do. A modern version of Photoshop might make their noses twitch, but an obsolete version that's not even on the market anymore?
>>56902562finished editing, it's readable now. I'll work on finishing the chapter tonight if I can get time. If not, it will be a weekend thing
>>56904869>finished editingMust be nice. I'll add it to the to-do list when we're done.
>>56894142>Thread Question: Congrats your OC is now a type specialist, what's their type and how does their team look like. If they already had a monotype team? Well now they don't. (oh also they can bring one mon from the old team along so long it follows the type)Luke would be Rock, He'd hate to leave Torch behind, but if he had to he'd make Rhyperior (Grenda) his ace. His team would consist of Onix, Bastiodon, Golem, Probopass, Rampardos, and Rhyperior>>56893501>Thread Question: How would you interact with your OCs?I could see myself going spelunking with post-timeskip Luke at any age. It's something I wouldn't mind doing, but I've heard about too many Nutty Putty incidents to want to go without a super experienced cave guide. I know it's as simple as "don't go off designated trails" but still.
>>56905262Well I guess I'm never really finished editing because i'm never finished writing. especially since I just do chunks at a time instead of announcing it when the chapter is actually finished.
>>56905290>I know it's as simple as "don't go off designated trails" but still.I promise it really is as simple as "don't go off the designated trails." I half-feel that the reason why people trespass is because modern caving feels so sanitized. It's not a high-octane kind of adventure like white-water rafting, that's for sure. >>56905297That's why I keep Gilded Platinum open in a separate window at all times so I can see every time you forget to place a comma.
Sup /tog/ Zatch and Lychee Anon here!Been busy with other stuff like getting back into Charcoal art but CH3 has finally started. Will post where to read it once it’s done!
>>56905477Darling! Glad to see you're still working hard, thanks for reporting in.
>>56905519You’re welcome, sorry for vanishing! Was working on doing less AI art and more art done by hand alongside writing.Working on getting a print scanner to show off my stuff next.
>>56905579Awesome!
>>56905843To make up for being gone for so long, I’ll share 1 thing about CH3 via picture.
>>56906608vore is such a weird fetish
Where are my favorite readers at?
Still trying to think of something worth writing about for the SoL segment of chapter 3 that isn't boring to read or boring to write. Only have like 2 short ideas so far.
>>56907180You should probably just move on to something you want to write more. Prioritise!
>>56907204It's for the equilibrium of the chapter though, small SoL breaks between action bits is better than constant non-stop action.
>>56907018I’m planning on catching up with everybody stuff soon
>>56907018Here! Reading the thread.>>56907180Let's discuss that. What are the 2 ideas, and what else can we add?
Man I forgot how much of a pain in the ass slapping a pdf together is.
>>56907211I'm just trying to say that you don't have to write everything in order. If you can't think of anything interesting right now, make a [AND HERE SOL HAPPENS] and move on to something you're more invested in.
>>56893501Well, with enormous help from the editor, I'm immensely proud to announce Episode 6 of Eons in Flux is now available!You can read it in the google drive here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-ACCQRBGk2dcOYjfIF9qaZJH1OQmwCxbUPBdL8FXAW4/edit?usp=sharingAnd the Mega here:https://mega.nz/folder/hKggRQbD#kPCbp_-Ae68nbR9cYIuRcA/file/9aJm1JwQYou can catch up on the previous episodes in the Artfaggotry Mega and the Writefaggotry Pastebin. At the editor's request, please discuss the contents of tonight's release.At my request, please ctrl+s [s p o i l e r] [/s p o i l e r] tag any potential story spoilers, as this will be the penultimate episode before the finale begins. Time for me to catch up on >>56901523.
>>56907335And now, the "Post of Thread" award goes to... Phosanon!>*Applause.wav*
>>56907370You're too kind.
>>56907335You know, at first I was getting annoyed with myself for creating another denoument scene after what should have been the ending, but now I feel vindicated on that. The Koa Interview is now being pushed back to next thread. So you're probably wondering, why push back the release date of something as simple as an interview? Well...
>>56907647How the hell did you squeeze 10,000 words into 16 pages?
>>56907733I use 8 x 14 pages, not 8 x 11, in order to trick my audience into thinking that my works are shorter than they actually are. It works, too, because you didn't notice this with Control Human Delete. I suggest you do the same and also to delete your post.>>56907335Also, while the iron is still hot. Durant is NOT "large", it is 1 foot tall (well, for an ant it's large, but not for a Pokémon.
>>56907766Word counts are not a spoiler, I can do that too, watch: 18,146.
>>56907766NTA but this post alone made me realize I can change the left and right margins but I don't want to re-format everything I typed so far so I'll just save that information for chapter 4.
OH WOW. OH HOLY FUCK.
>>56907857I'm probably as surprised as you are. I'm off to bed after all that. Have a great night, /tog/. Give the king a smooch for me if he comes by.
>>56907335I just read the entire thing, and well, I'll probably need to read it again in order to grasp every nuance of the second half. Great stuff, this is the kind of stuff that I was waiting for, even if it's a bit tropey except for that "one" part. A few questions, because I don't want to have undeserved excitement.Was the "Not these things again" a callback to the Botphan Incident of CHD, or did you just have it planned out already?Did you have Franco do "that" with Phos as fanservice specifically for me, or was that just something that popped into your head? FYI, I actually didn't gain any sudden "emotions" from that scene.Do the Paradoxes ever reach Lumiose City? Cause I got another "bad idea" from that... namely, law enforcement not being the only ones on the scene... don't worry I'll denote it as a "Fan Gaiden" again, if you'll let me do it.Much to both of our chagrin I have made tiny edits to SP and CHD again, I would appreciate it if you update them whenever you can and also change the title of SP to "Alex - The Follow-Up" so it's right next to CHD.Control Human Delete: https://pomf2.lain.la/f/t6huofas.pdfFollow-Up:https://pomf2.lain.la/f/jdj8k6vh.pdf>You really have to stop giving me such bad ideas.
>>56908283 No. That section was written at least a week in advance and at any rate, it would probably be based on... the event alluded to in my own writing and not some fan's interpretation of said alluded-to event?! Also no. And I don't believe you. I cannot speak on that at this time. Every single line of dialogue has been carefully considered.
Bump. Randomly wondering why some anon was asking me about Emily's physical capabilities a few days ago.
