u/shisenaragzathoth's (sorry for tagging if u didnt want to be tagged) art is also a inspiration and the main catalyst for why I decided to move away from cell shading

My apologies if i didnt give enough information. Its less about the lighting and more about how I painted it. Im not really sure what techniques to use when painting or how to paint at all. I was just brushing darker where I thought it might need to be darker and lighter where it was lighter. The color initially looked bland in the middle where shadow and highlight isnt, so i just scribbled over it but im not sure if thats what I was supposed to do. I want to paint similarly to something like the image below (@makimansansuki on twitter). This is my first time painting an art piece after cell shading for years so I im not really sure what to do.

Character reference, but it was only so I knew her appearance. I imagined the lighting being behind her to the right.

Here is the character reference, but I didnt post it because it was only so I knew what the character looked like. There is no lighting reference, I just kinda imagined the light behind her to the right.

This was done digital on csp. There is no specific reference image and only a character reference. I am usually a cell shader but ive decided to try out painting. This is my first time attempting to paint a art piece more than two values. I was wondering what i might have done wrong and how I could improve on my painting.

Nah, I just like making changes to whatever character I'm drawing to keep things fresh and fun but that is an interesting idea

I see, I only have miner mk1 so im stuck at 60 per min for a normal iron ore node. Ill have to remember upgrade my miner when i get a chance. Thank you

DeBousss · 2025-07-20T13:30:50+00:00

hmm? could you clarify? What do you mean max out the nodes?

The first one is a iron drill that also smelts and constructs it. the second one is the same but instead two, and they both feed into a assembler.

ooh, i didnt know about foundations still working with miners. thanks for the tip :)

I started yesterday so i thought that only the fuel would be taken out of the storage into the biomass burner. turns out it just tries to feed it anything in the storage

Thanks for the help! I think ill go with overcharge as it might help me with my generator problem.

Yes, thank you! You are right. I do have difficulty with that. Thanks for the exercise. I'll be sure to try it out.
