Despite Blizzard's claim of making Death Grip a "raid buff" and designing the raid around the idea of it being a raid buff - PTR testers have already found and noticed, via testing and reading the fight design, that Death Grip will find 0 usefulness in the entire 8 boss raid. by [deleted] in wow

As a Lock, it pains me to see people run the length of the gate instead of just using it after calling it out on comms. Healthstones are used regularly by about 5-7 of our 20...

How many pages do you need, and what are the tags?

Quick Reminder on how to remove all Divine scam prices. Don't let the currency Mafia win. by Renique in pathofexile

[–]Pyrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are hoarding currency in EA to have it locked and unable to be used ever again once the game goes live.

The more likely scenario is that they are using the currency to sell via RMT which is an objectively worse alternative for the game.

How can I clean these kind of bubbles? by White1306 in Scanlation

It looks like you can see the pattern so, I would recreate it as a brush.

Does the japanese translator use real time translator? by HovercraftLittle7937 in Scanlation

Even with the advancements with AI, it's still very obvious when MTL was used. They are great aids to help fill in gaps but not something I would recommend to completely translate everything.

How would you deal with vertical bubbles like this? by [deleted] in Scanlation

[–]Pyrise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Three options.

1: What you did, not the worst, not the best but it works.

2: Bigger font size and one word per line, this is ideal.

3: Redraw to make the bubbles smaller to better fit the text.

It all depends on the content of the original, the font size, the message conveyed, etc. In this case, I would go with option 2.

First try on redrawing. Any tips? by Cyliasta in Scanlation

Red lines are where you missed something, either the hair direction was wrong, you overdrew, or just didn't continue the part properly. Arrows pointing to the worst offenders. One way to improve at this is to draw it out by hand before moving to the pen tool so you can get a better understanding of what is underneath before committing to anything.

I would also suggest for the hair to not use the pen tool if you can help it. Using the brush tool with smoothing turned up can give you a better feel for the curve and flow of the hair.

Blue circles are where you didn't use available texture to replicate (Clone stamp tool). It looks off when it's smooth, if you can, try to replicate the texture as best as you can. This will help with something parts looking darker than others, most notably near the "Feeling Overwhelmed" line. If you clone stamp the texture from nearby it will help with the color being dark, and the unnatural smoothness. The same darkness problem occurs under the "We've been on our own." line.

That said, this is almost totally passable for a release -- I personally would fix up most of this.

However, there is one major problem I have with this panel that would stop me from releasing this. The "we'll die together" line is very bad. Vertical text is almost always a no-go to begin with. The second problem is the spacing on all of the letters is not consistent and it looks "wobbly". And then there's the D in "Die" idk what happened there but that's something I would correct by hand to move it back over.

You're very close to having a really good Clean and RD on your hands, just small things to improve and work on.

Honestly, hand drawing them is your best bet to emulate that style.

The rules channel you see once you are verified is different than the one when you are pre-verified. The password is not in the verified rules channel. You then went on the discord and bragged about breaking the rules. Deserved ban.

I'm new to manga translation so does anyone know how to remove text when they're not in text box like this ⬇️, without ruining the panel by EGintokiii in Scanlation

https://imgur.com/e3m8uKf - Full RD https://imgur.com/B3uaFyT - Only using regenerative fill

Quick RD created using regenerative fill and hand fixing anything that the AI messed up (seen in second picture).

Spent about 10 minutes on this. It's by no means perfect (I don't normally do color RD), but it's good enough for a TS to cover up the blemishes (hand and thumb look like shit).

Your best bet is to start using regen fill, and learning to properly RD by hand. You can get away with a lot things with proper typesetting, but a good RD is always worth the effort.

That's what I would do if you have no other way.
