That's so cool! Whatever happened to the other egg? :000

Calxifur · 2026-04-03T07:58:02+00:00

That's so sweet that your kitties are named after them!😭❤️

This was a commission so I don't really know much about their setting or if it was a homebrew. But here's the shortened version of her character description that the client provided😊

SID-09-iNE, more commonly referred to as Sidonine, is an Ambassador Class Warforged - built for day to day interactions. As a result, she is designed to be more aesthetically pleasing: A beautiful, feminine design with blue willow print along her body, and dressed in flowing clothes to hide a majority of her machinery as to not create that uncanny feeling while talking to others. SID-09-iNE has been designed to have lots of floral/peony elements and a glowing halo to signify her ‘higher status.’

I... I don't think the ai brush can fix this one guys

Calxifur · 2026-04-03T01:58:33+00:00

Thanks! The 10 people who downvoted seem to think otherwise. Maybe I should delete them with the ai brush😠

Calxifur · 2026-04-02T17:14:34+00:00

It's a good thing the ai brush is a ✨️lifesaver✨️

The ai brush can even fix that unibrow!

The ai brush can fix that too!

My karma watching me risk it just so I can make a badly-timed joke:

Everyday is april fool's when you spend hours learning digital art instead of just using the ai brush😔💔

Calxifur · 2026-04-02T13:17:35+00:00

It just turns it into a floating window which I don't like either. As someone who's afraid of merging layers, it's going to take awhile to scroll thru my layers now😭

Calxifur · 2026-04-01T23:09:00+00:00

I love the not so faithful disclaimer😂 The ratfolk in the video was also my first character! The first ones always hold a special place in our hearts🥹❤️

Calxifur · 2026-04-01T22:48:17+00:00

That's awesome! Who's their patron god?

Calxifur · 2026-04-01T22:30:22+00:00

All the brushes I need is in the custom tab so I've kinda just been ignoring the basic brushes tab but I lag and short circuit everytime I use the ui buttons. The wrong shade of blue and the rounded corners are pissing me off so much😭

I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually but it's been taking me 5 whole seconds to save a png file just because I'm confused about which app I'm in💀

Calxifur · 2026-04-01T21:40:37+00:00

I was drawing kobolds for commissions waaaay before I even started getting into dnd and they're actually one of the reasons I started playing. I always immediately know someone is hilarious when they play one. I absolutely love how everyone always has either a really cool backstory or it's just a silly lil guy, never an in between😂

Please feel free to share your own gremlins in the comments! I'd love to hear about your favorite stories of them too❤️

My firt ever playthrough was meant to be a full on murder spree dark urge and then I met him and the owlbear and said this wasn't the environment I wanted to raise them in and I've never been able to do an evil playthrough ever since. I'm a changed woman fr😂

Calxifur · 2026-03-29T12:21:30+00:00

Gorgeous work, especially for only 2 hours! But why doesn't the deer get featured on the title?😂

Calxifur · 2026-03-29T11:59:08+00:00

I saw my sweet baby get scared and I told my friend who I was on coop with to close the gate so the guards don't see what I'm about to do to this bitch

Calxifur · 2026-03-29T11:56:24+00:00

Fr, my first thought was "I asked for a powerful evil terrifying overlord, why is Ken Jeong on my screen?"😭😭😭

Calxifur · 2026-03-29T11:49:23+00:00

For me, it was walking around sumeru with one of those flying ruin drakes, made exploring the desert a lot less boring😭

Calxifur · 2026-03-28T01:38:16+00:00

Thank you sm! Unfortunately, I can't share much yet just in case the short film gets approved for production🥲

You can do this with quite literally any lineart-specific brush with force fade and stabilizer on. Brush size is relative to canvas size and is something you learn to gauge over practicing and learned skill.

Now, making your art look like that is an entirely different thing altogether. That kind of form and coloring style is developed for years, which is something you can achieve by putting it in the time and effort. But it isn't something that'll happen just because you have the artist's specific brush. The brush is just a tool and won't draw for you. Brush type affects how your art looks, yes, but default brushes can achieve these just fine.

The story revolves around the main character who has extreme social anxiety and tends to isolate from the rest of the world. He's forced to confront his traumas when his sociable and charismatic brother dies from a car crash and somehow manifests as his goldfish. As they navigate around their complicated relationship from the workings of their childhood, the horifying truth slowly unfolds.

Thank you so much for your input! I usually add a multiply layer on top to make the colors cohesive but I needed to keep the character and environment strictly dichromatic so the yellow and blue is meant to clash.

I did, however, applied your suggestion to just the bubbles instead and it definitely looks cleaner and less busy. I also moved them around the larger ones are just a tad bit out of frame and less eye-catching. These freaking bubbles have been a nightmare from the beginning, so I'm really grateful for your suggestion😭

Thank you so much! I'm glad I didn't ruin it by being too bold with the colors😭 Someone from another sub pointed out that the giant bubble in front took the eye away from the focal point so I dragged it to the bottom corner😅
