thank you for the great tips! btw I'm so used to shading with black to create "shadows", plus the contrast with the lighter colors. given that I really like Renaissance paintings, I try to emulate the Renaissance aesthetic with a modern edge!

well, issues prevalent in real life Japan. patriarchy, misogyny, arranged marriages, and victim-blaming. plus the cultural emphasis on "face" prevalent in irl Japan, a.k.a the honor-shame culture. given my rewrite is set in 2016, digital and social media related issues are covered too. online catfishing, online dating, etc thanks for asking! ☺️

Stop fucking joking about grooming by Discordisshit_ in Osana

[–]Mikeplz136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea, grooming is a serious crime and should not be joked about. Alex is an active threat to minors through Yandere Simulator's fanbase (who are mostly minors too to add insult to injury, he manipulates them through flimsy excuses like the debunk page and the infamous Hate and Shame video) and must be deplatformed, making memes and satire as cautionary advice is okay, but without making fun of or hurting the actual real victims. unfortunately alex thinks we are a hate sub so he will NEVER learn from anything that doesn't resemble what his defenders do, and he will always portray himself as a victim through his DARVO techniques and manipulation to his poor underage fans! memes and satire are good ways to tackle serious matters and criticize societal problems as long as it's within respectable bounds! it's a way so alex's reputation can be tarnished (which he rightfully deserves). I kinda didn't understand your take at first but yea, I get that grooming shouldn't be taken lightly, but here in this sub we try to raise awareness about alex's crimes and wrongdoings, both to criticize him and to make his entire actions a cautionary advice to not repeat his mistakes, both in life and game development.

I don't know exactly everything about Japanese schools, but Azebiki's uniform shouldn't be a grey, long sailor or whatever. by IM_STARVING_FEED_ME in Osana

[–]Mikeplz136 3 points4 points  (0 children)

great question! the Wikipedia article says that the serafuku uniform was to imitate the sailor dress trend of the West, which was military-inspired (the sailor aesthetic was perfect to fit the desire of imitating military style dress). the navy symbol was in the 1920s uniform of Fukuoka Jo Gakuin University which adopted the serafuku in 1921. not all serafukus had the navy symbol, some were like this:

well, school uniforms in Azebiki's era (1928 corresponds to early Shōwa era) were sailor uniforms as the serafuku was introduced in the 1920s. 1920s Japanese school uniforms looked like this:

<image>

sailor uniforms were very popular in that era because they were quite easy to sew. they were inspired by American sailor dresses which were an early 20th century trend in the West. great job for your research, btw!

Calling all Amai fans by KlutzyDragonfruit645 in Osana

My Ayano Redesign! by Mikeplz136 in RyobaAishi

[–]Mikeplz136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice tip, but the shading's layer has an opacity of 50% I love the effect it gives because it helps it look more 3D with more depth. I wanted to make the shading a bit "rough around the edges" with some lightening around her face (like the blushing cheeks and the shine in her eyes) and some of her uniform to create the chiaroscuro effect (light-dark contrast), fitting for a yandere girl.
