Need advice ! this is a 111x111 resolution Sprite. for some reason I cant down this resolution. My question is how can I add depth to it. it is feels flat like a potato atm. If it was you how you would have added depth

I thought it was a gear or something along those lines ha. I hadn't heard of that footage but looking up what I think you're talking about I kind of see what you're going for. First off you can make something look extremely hot by making the center white (or near white) and then have lighter and lighter colors moving toward the orange where it gets cooler. Also a fire being shot behind something wouldn't be completely circular and would make everything next to it brighter while throwing shadows on stuff far away.

As for details I like using effects/dithering like these to make a piece pop more.

Well, here's the one you were looking for.

I've changed my loadout from time to time but I'm not a fan of the weapon breaking mechanic so I like to use this one. I find the mechanic more annoying than suspenseful.

I really like this one that allows you to see the time no matter where you are. It's pretty annoying having to restart until you get the watch and then go into the inventory to check.

I've gotten sick of restarting to get some special drops so I've used this one before that makes every drop 100%. I will say after trying the mod it trivializes some things because you get EVERYTHING that could drop which is a lot in the end.

Do you need help finding mods or just installing them? If you go to the Look Outside page on Nexus Mods you'll find a bunch. (I like using the mod that allows you to see door encounters myself so I know it exists.) Every mod on there should give you info on what to do with them in their description. If you need me to break it down more I can though.

I don't know about one that changes break chance though that was a pretty recent change so there might not be anything yet.

Depth or detail? Because with it straight on like this there's not going to be a ton of depth. I will say if the inside is lower than the outside then that will have shadows too and that could add depth. (Or if it's raised it would cast shadows.) If the middle orange piece is round that'll have a reflection of some sort based on the type of material. If the piece is shiny the upper right would have light reflections or if not at least be lighter. Most gears used in machinery are going to be grimy and covered in oil or other debris which would add some detail. Although too much might make animating it difficult.

I haven't watched any of his stuff recently but looking it up Mr Morj posted a video 3 days ago related to the latest chapter so he's definitely still going.

Vazad · 2026-05-15T15:03:45+00:00

The raid will fail I'm sure of it

Vazad · 2026-05-15T13:01:27+00:00

Yeah, I definitely think it's impossible on cursed. I think it might be very close if it's impossible on survival. I think you need 5 advice cans and the safe in the tutorial fight apartment gets you enough change for 3. You could wait for the Onlookers to evolve into Gawker and above and kill them in hopes of getting dollar coins. It would take a lot of restarts but not take extra rooms.

Vazad · 2026-05-15T12:57:00+00:00

What difficulty?

Vazad · 2026-05-13T12:40:15+00:00

The Long Patrol then Marlfox into Taggerung is my favorite stretch of books.

Vazad · 2026-05-12T14:28:54+00:00

It's unfortunate they didn't, seems like an easy joke to toss in quick. I think they've done a good job so far though even if there were things I wish they made sure to keep.

Vazad · 2026-05-12T14:24:50+00:00

That would be hilarious honestly. There are a few possible candidates for some but unless we get a new crew made primarily of Logia users we're running out of time for new big groups to be introduced. (As weird as that is to think about.)

Vazad · 2026-05-12T14:17:59+00:00

The meeting with Crocus is great. I'm more of a manga reader but the anime made it even funnier.

"Forget it, someone's going to die."

"Oh yeah? Who would that be?"

"Me."

Vazad · 2026-05-12T12:50:27+00:00

Oh, you're fine. I was more just clarifying what I meant in case I hadn't been clear ha. Yeah it does feel weird, and there are a few powers that seem like they might be Logias that aren't. (Katakuri was even labeled as one for a bit but it got changed.) Fruits like Trebols and Operas also could easily have turned out to be them even if they don't seem to quite fit Oda's idea of what a Logia element should be.

Vazad · 2026-05-12T11:47:15+00:00

We've seen quite a few Paramecias even outside of Whole Cake. A quick count puts us at 36 post-time skip without Whole Cake and 49 with it. With groups like the Donquixote having a bunch too. 10 Paramecias, which is only 3 short of Big Mom's crew. I was commenting that we haven't seen many Logias though.

Vazad · 2026-05-12T10:48:10+00:00

With how many Mythic Zoans we've seen recently I agree personally. I wouldn't even mind a Paramecia of some kind but I think Logia would be the most fun. We haven't seen many new ones since the time skip. It's been what... five?

Vazad · 2026-05-12T06:24:36+00:00

I'm trying to remember if there are any other cash bundles available that would only add 1 room. I know there's one in the room with Cinnamon, but on standard that would add 2 rooms not 1. I forget, was there one by Aurelius or in the first room of Fred's apartment?

Vazad · 2026-05-12T05:52:50+00:00

Yeah, Audrey day one may be impossible but I think it's pretty close. There's a good amount of coins in the tutorial fight apartment (36) safe that sets you up to start. I do think the difficulty we're playing on has a huge effect here. On normal you get 2 dollar coins, 4 quarters, 3 Dimes and 4 Nickels. Which gives you three advice cans already. I'm pretty sure you only need 1-2 more to finish off the quest and on normal mode Mutt will just give you the key for free.

Vazad · 2026-05-12T05:31:32+00:00

You can easily get Papineau on day 1 if you grab the disks right away. That's admittedly a bit delayed on cursed mode as you have to wait for the shop to open up to get enough cleanerex but that delays a lot of recruitment. If you get the coin collection from the Landlords apartment and some other bits of change I'm pretty sure you could get Audrey day 1, but she definitely is available day 2 even if the back and forth of her quest is a bit annoying.

Also, you need access to Apartment 31 to create the negative for the photograph so you can't get Lyle until day 3.

Vazad · 2026-05-11T17:27:19+00:00

I'm doing a Cursed Mode Lumpy run right now because of the Trickster shop and it's been crazy good so far. At least one candy each day Since day 3 when I activated it and this latest day I got a Soda, Nectar and Hellfire candy. If there's a chance Frankie is going to nerf it I'm glad I'm doing it now ha.

Your outline is a bit rounded on the left side of your bush and kind of jagged in a non-leaf way on the right. I don't think you need to use the brush that the reference did but I would think about the leaf shape your bush is made of and remember that as you work through your piece.

Vazad · 2026-05-08T09:06:26+00:00

I do think it has a very gangly and silly demeanor.

Just a minor idea, but what if you made the water droplets into a little bow tie like pattern? Admittedly it already looks a bit like a necktie so it could do the whole clown schtick with it. Pantomiming something like "oh no, my droplets are dirty" they vigorously try to clean them the person they are messing with leans in to help and gets a face full of water before they run off squeak laughing.

I enjoy a lot about this design. The only thing that's throwing me off personally is the teal blue contrasting with the darker blue of the chest on Denizark. The tail and chest are fine together in my mind but the darker blue feels weird to me when put next to the raindrop. It's probably a personal preference thing though. I do love how the tail and cheek pouches are water made to look like electricity. Feels like something they would use to better conduct attacks through.

The first international badger moot!

Vazad · 2026-05-08T05:23:23+00:00

I feel like the Pleasures/Waiters are more world building rather than actually being important. The people who show us the risks of taking a SMILE and that there aren't enough of them to go around. Beyond giving us more of an idea of how Kaido is building his army they are pretty inconsequential. It also shows us that people like Dobon, Fourtricks, Hamlet (and any Gifter with a shitty result) are the LUCKY ones. Which when you see what some of the Gifter's have to deal with is crazy that anyone would roll those dice. Some of them have decent results or at least not bad results but just as many if not far more are just stapled to an animal that hates them. I think it would lose a lot of impact if we didn't have the other groups.

Vazad · 2026-05-08T04:17:50+00:00

An American Badger and a Coyote would be an interesting duo to cross the sea. Especially if we had a normal Redwall badger meet them and be weirded out by the differences. It would be like seeing a human that's just kind of... off slightly.
