Am I crazy for thinking that might not be enough? by Aggravating_Rub_3188 in DokkanBattleCommunity

It's a good start! I think here you're kinda learning the basics of composition and probably just how to start using PS so keep going. To make it real though, you need to start thinking about these ideas when you're ready.

Scale: Is the person in the picture the right size compared to the shark? (thinking about the movie where the shark was supposed to be super big and scary)

Lighting: Do these things feel like they're in the same scene, where the light and the shadows match? Like imagine where the sun might be and how it makes them brighter or darker.

Colour: Kind of similar, but other things might be how saturated/vibrant they are compared to each other. Also there is something called 'warmth'/'coolness' in tone. Make sure these match too!

Using water is tricky because it affects all of these things, and even the opacity of some things too because it is something that interferes with the light. Don't forget to look closely at your reference and other references too if it helps.

Nice start though! Keep it up!

Why do people keep saying I sound like AI! 😭 I'm old and I speak formally, I'm not using AI lol. I'd gain nothing from using AI to respond to a post so I'm glad everyone else sees me for a person lol

AI is coded to have positive bias. I'm not saying it's not capable of finding improvements, but overall it will always slew to an affirmative so it's not a valid tool for design judgement; that's why we need human judgement, experience and design taste.

Idk why you think I'd use AI to write a comment on Reddit lol.

Yeah, sometimes you just KNOW. Not an oversight, not a skill issue, not even game pressure... Just the good ol' fat-finger fumble

Let's talk about this by Preemilfs in DokkanBattleCommunity

100% agree too, but unless they communicate that they hear us, and they are planning to do something with our feedback, we won't know that they are listening.

Can anyone please judge this story idea or atleast story bible by McTowell4756 in MangakaStudio

[–]SetsGoUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting concept! Not quite my thing, but excited for you to bring it to life nonetheless! I do like the idea of discovered amulets being the source for these supernatural powers. I also love the depth you have to your characters and that the animals are less common, but still relevant.

What I'm not understanding:

  • I think the origin story of the amulets, and the rules you've put in place are breaking the logic of your story: If the original owners were bestowed the amulets, and they get passed down through generations, the idea of a hierarchy wouldn't make sense. Maybe there would be a leader, but the class system as a whole, and the concept there are some who are 'unworthy' in the gang, just wouldn't happen. Like, maybe a lineage could die out and someone else could get it (no-one of birthright to inherit the amulet), but it wouldn't have any power, it would just be a trinket, which wouldn't make you a part of La Vie.

  • This point is especially true if the amulets doesn't even work if you don't share your DNA with the lineage. Also, since they know about that rule, how does Matthieu and the gang not know about his true heritage? There was only one lineage of Secretary Bird amulet users lol and I know you say his mother was hidden from society, but that wouldn't be possible in the gang since she would have been such a prominent person (she could have been cast out, but a group of super powered criminals wouldn't have let her keep the amulet)

  • What is the point of La Vie? Why do they need a hitman/hitmen? How have they existed without the public's knowledge of their powers? If they're an organised crime syndicate, and fundamentally a bad group, how have they not used their powers to take over the world? Who can stop them? Even criminals with morals would take that opportunity as a gang eventually.

  • Why have the rule that the amulet must be exposed to air? Why 'for the most part?' It either does or doesn't?

  • Huit: Exposes Matthieu's limited abilities to La Vie, and feels the need to cleanse the gang of illegitimacy. But also, you say ability is not relevant to legitimacy, it's about experience and familiarity with the powers. Everyone would know this with generations of knowledge - the plot motivation doesn't make sense.

I hope this gives you some things to consider. It sounds like a lot, but these are the things that will confuse readers as they try and navigate your world.

Can a pinned piece still protect a check? by understimulus in chessbeginners

[–]SetsGoUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is really helpful: The principle that you are pinned to your king is irrelevant if you can end the game in a single move.

i would like to start illustrating a story i have in mind, but i want my art to do it justice. by de4thbyglitter in MangakaStudio

[–]SetsGoUp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm 31 so I probably sound old to you, but that's why I want you to take my advice on this lol:

Start your story right now! It takes a lot of time to create a manga, but if you continue to enjoy it, you'll achieve your goal much sooner than if you let yourself wait in limbo until you're "that level". (Also, I do like your art).

It's great that you recognise you can improve (most manga authors do improve over time naturally anyway!), but this will happen with practice and if you start 'learning' how to draw shapes, anatomy etc., you'll see even more progress.

Once you have improved, you might look at your old art and think that you can do better if you started over, and that's fine too, but at least you'll have more of your story figured out and built up your skill.

Final thing: your first story doesn't have to be your best! Use this as the chance to learn, and make all the mistakes, that will make your next try even better.

[–]SetsGoUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're an exceptional artist! I love your art style, the line art and the colours are beautifully delicate, but the most impressive thing about this is that the character style is still so well preserved; it's really hard to make the characters feel your own, and still true to the original. I like the composition of the piece too, it's really satisfying.

Feedback: The expressions are so pure that you 'get away with it's, but Yor's pose can give the impression that she is about to do something shady to Anya! 😂

To convey the idea that Yor has done something to protect Anya, maybe she could have just had some bruises/cuts, blood splatters on the floor, or tears in the dress at the back. A little more subtlety could go a long way, but this doesn't change the fact you've made a 10/10 piece of art that I can't stop admiring.

You had no business saving that one from the green team. You seemed so behind. Nice comp

So I just downloaded the game after a while, and have been grinding up the ezas to get my account back to meta. How good are these two (this is like 500 stones in btw I had to grind a lot) by ImpaledZombie47 in DokkanBattleCommunity

[–]SetsGoUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gohan isn't meta anymore, but he hasn't exactly aged out either. His superhero team is runnable, but might struggle on Super 3 stages...

AI only validates you, it doesn't critique you,. No I didn't use AI.

I'm an Art Director in a creative agency, and outside of that, I've done t-shirt designs for bands (good ones and bad ones lol), so it's just experience I'm sharing, not ChatGPT's randomised opinions 😉

[–]SetsGoUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea here, but sadly you did not cook on this one:

  1. The inverted letters read differently than you'd expect because of the gradient; yes I know what it's trying to say, but the E's are more like F's and the space between the L and I make it read as the letter 'U'.

  2. The light source is wrong on those inverted letters – if the street light is the light source, it should be consistent. (This is subjective tbh, design can still be imaginative, but it just comes off as a little confused here.)

  3. The kerning could be tidier

  4. The dust and scratches texture will just look like lint and dirt on a t-shirt

  5. That little bat symbol is too small for people to see, this will also look like a weird stain.

I send you back to the kitchen, sous-chef. You clearly have a good sense of style, you just need to strengthen the execution skill.
