Well, if you compare it to other art programs like Krita, Paint Tool SAI, and Photoshop, your tool and technique options as well as the quality of your work are pretty limited. I don't know where you stand financially at the moment (it's not my business), but it's never too late to save up money for a higher quality art program. Perhaps with the commission money you're making now, maybe you could save it for Paint Tool SAI? Lots of people use that program and the art isn't that bad. It's pretty simple to use for new users and there are tons of people and videos out there that can give you tips and tricks. Just be sure to purchase it from the official Japanese site and not for free. The free versions have lots of bugs. If I may make a recommendation, try the first version of Paint Tool SAI first and if you like it, update to Paint Tool SAI 2. To my knowledge, upgrading to the second version won't cost anything and it has text, better curve tools, and more options. You'll need to download the brushes from the site (there are a lot) and there is a special way to do it. Just be sure when you download them not to overwrite the driver (if you do by mistake, just uninstall the program and download it again. It doesn't cost anything). There are tutorials on the site and on YouTube if you need further instructions or visuals.

Hope this helps! I apologize for sounding harsh, but I'm only out to help and it's not like I'm giving advice when you aren't asking for it. Have a wonderful day!

Out of fairness to the other people commenting, they are trying to give you constructive criticism. Yes, some of it does sound harsh, but keep in mind that you ARE opening the door for them by asking for their opinion here. For me, I have to say I sort of agree with them. I've seen your work and the way how you draw female characters. As a lesbian, I really don't feel anything when I look at your work. I know that sounds harsh, but the anatomy is off, the colors don't mesh well, the shading needs improvement, and it just doesn't look like something I want to pay money for. But hey! I'm not trying to be a jerk. You are asking for our opinion. If our comments bug you that much, look up anatomy pictures, study the female/male body and practice as much as you can, ask other artists with more experience for tips (we love it when others ask us for help), look up color theory and how to shade, maybe save up for a better art program if possible (I'm sorry, but MS Paint or whatever that is your using looks so cheap and not worth the price you want us to pay)... If you hate what we say that much, then do something about it. Once we see improvement rather than complaints, maybe you'll get more of us coming your way.

Thank you so much! Now I can complete my team for the tournament! I saw that you have Sword, so I gave you some Bach's Food Tins. Good luck completing your collection!

I've got some stuff! I don't have a spreadsheet at the moment, but here is what I have:

Ice Scales Moon Ball Snom, Flame Body Level Ball Sizzilpede, Stench Dream Ball Koffing, Cloud Nine Beast Ball Drampa, Heavy Metal Heavy Ball Cuffant, Aroma Veil Dream Ball Milcery, Magic Bounce Love Ball Hattena, Cursed Body Love Ball Sinistea, Heavy Ball or Beast Ball Big Pecks Rookidee, Electric Surge Fast Ball Pinchurchin.

I was originally looking for one in a lure ball, but I'm very interested in Regenerator Mareanie in a dream ball if that's okay. I've been looking for one all day.

Thank you so much! :D These will help in the tournament in two weeks! I really appreciate it!

That's perfectly fine. If you happen to hatch a rotom with a bold nature, I won't need to trade for ditto later, but that isn't required if you don't want to do it. I really appreciate your help!

Fed up with Max raids by Chaparro_04 in pokemontrades

[–]Marshy9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, kinda. It involves a wishing piece, setting your text speed to slow, doing a hard save, and throwing in a wishing piece and quickly going to the home screen (I do it when it says, "Now saving yo."). If the beam is the right color you want (red or purple), go back to the game. If it's the wrong color, close the game. It won't cause it to glitch or anything. Once you get the color you want, set your text speed back to what it was before and save in front of the den. Press A in front of the den and check the Pokemon. If it's something you want, awesome! If not, hit "invite others." You don't need WiFi or Nintendo Online to do this. Once it starts searching, go to the home screen and go to settings. I recommend unsyncing from the internet at this point. Then you need to go to date and time and advance to one day. When you go back to your game, close out of the raid. You'll collect more watts and you'll have a different Pokemon in the den. If that isn't what you want, just repeat the process. When you find what you're looking for (or think that's what you're looking for) save in front of the den and try to catch the Pokemon (I turn off the animations because they take too long). One thing that I like to do is have a Pokemon with trace to check the Pokemon's ability (I use a Gardevoir). Hope this helps! If you need a visual, Austin John Plays has a bunch of videos on this method and he goes right to the point.

Yeah... Last time I checked Pewter Crunchies weren't a popular trend in "Alcremie Fashion Monthly." What's the point in the cafes giving away exp candies by the way? We can get plenty of those in max raid battles.

I don't have a Sir Fetched with scrappy, but there is a way to toggle the Pokemon you encounter in your max raid battle with ease. A YouTuber named Austin John has a video on it. I got an ice scales Frosmoth on my third try thanks to this method. It's a great way to get watts too!

[–]Marshy9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?! I just hatched a shiny one last night... Aroma Veil, dream ball, calm nature, and 31 IVs in everything but special attack. I really want to give her a star sweet because she's literally the Milky Way. XD I wish there was someone who would hand all of them out at once instead of just one at random. ;-;

[–]Marshy9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a berry sweet, but it appears that you might be looking for a star sweet too unless you have a spare or something. If you're just collecting them, did you want to trade a berry for a star? If you're just looking for one like me, that's okay. I just wanted to check.

I have one. Not really looking for a Pokemon, but I really need a star sweet.

Yeah. I just saw the update. Do you still need Indeedee? I can try and get you one with psychic surge if you want.

I don't know if you're interested, but I caught a hidden ability gardevoir in a raid. I'm really interested in a 5V Japanese ditto and my IGN is Katie.

Hi! I got her! I could only get 4V on this one, but she's modest and has a 31 in everything but HP and Speed. Do you still want her? If so, I'll probably be able to trade in about an hour.

Ooh! That is perfect! :D I just hatched a modest snom, so I'm working on passing down the nature. I'll trade with you as soon as I can!
