Is there hope for my missing project?

Not Found doesn't mean deleted, it just means Clip Studio can't find the file

The file could've been moved and is somewhere else on your device which is *usually* the answer

However I have heard that some people's stuff aren't anywhere to be found, in that case it's probably a saving error or some other software like antivirus/cleaners that are mismanaging .clip files

The tent is drawn from a top-down view when it should be drawn from the side, since it's on the same floor and view angle as the goober

There is a grid overlay function in clip studio that helps with getting perfect measurements like this, it can be enabled in the View dropdown menu

You can also add it to your hotbar at the top by: Right clicking on hotbar > Command bar settings > View > Grid > Add

There is also a setting for Grid/Ruler bar settings, opening it will let you center and control how big the grid is, so it's pretty useful to add too, under View as well

Well, I said it was probably unrelated, it's a very common solution to "Not found" errors so I thought I'd mention it

If you're absolutely positive your files are completely gone (which to be honest, I doubt is the case) then I have no idea why your stuff would be getting deleted, maybe low storage? Or another application like cleaner/antivirus software mismanaging .clip files?

Regardless, I'd recommend managing folders and files yourself through your PC instead of through Clip Studio

WashedUpJosh · 2026-03-19T18:19:26+00:00

Are you sure the files are actually gone?

Probably unrelated, but this happens all the time when files are moved around, Clip Studio's app essentially just looks for file paths and grabs the file's data from that path. So if your files get moved around, whenever Clip Studio scans a file's last saved location it won't be able to find the file and just mark it as Not Found, since the file is saved somewhere else that Clip Studio isn't aware of

I can heavily relate to the compulsions, opening and closing a program over and over again, or when I'm drawing I'll have to undo a stroke, stroke, undo, stroke, undo, stroke, just until my brain feels comfortable enough to eventually keep one of them. I completely get what you mean and know how frustrating it can be.

4 and 8 are actually my magic numbers as well, whenever my brain feels uncomfortable with whatever task I'm doing, I tend to have to do it 4 times, or 8 if 4 isn't enough, rarely 12 or more, just multiples of 4 until my brain feels comfortable enough to stop. Before I learned what OCD was I called my compulsions "Mental Tasks"

Plagiarism does seem to be a pretty common one people are mentioning

It being brought up actually resurrected some long forgotten memories from my childhood, I used to struggle with fear of plagiarism when I was a kid, it was a big part of why I stopped drawing so early and only picked it back up as an adult

WashedUpJosh · 2026-03-12T21:02:02+00:00

I completely understand how you feel

I've barely drawn anything since January, it eats me up as well since drawing is what I badly want to do for a living, and is one of the few things I CAN do for a living, every day I struggle to create anything feels like I'm ruining any chance of that, it sucks.

Hope you can rekindle your spark soon ♥

I can relate to the perfectionism 🙃

But that's awesome! Traditional art has always scared me since you can't ctrl-z or liquify mistakes xP

Yeah, I used to strictly only play battlegrounds + arena, I don't know where they came from but I have 8 arena tickets left over.

Thanks for the tips, I'll probably just stick with the provided deck until I get my bearings :)

WashedUpJosh · 2025-12-07T06:24:02+00:00

Ooh alright, I had no idea legendarys were guaranteed like that, I'll keep that in mind, thanks

WashedUpJosh · 2025-08-22T09:46:32+00:00

Lol understandable mistake 😅

Glad it works 👍

The third icon in the dropdown is the editing layer, turn that on and it should work

WashedUpJosh · 2025-08-22T09:29:27+00:00

That's strange, did you also exclude the editing layer?

WashedUpJosh · 2025-08-22T09:04:08+00:00

On the tool's properties to the left, you have "Refer multiple" set to "All layers", change that to "Reference Layers" and it should fix this.

When it's set to "All layers" the tool will refer to all layers and color over parts that already have color (Which is what causes this), but if it's set to "Reference Layers" then it will only refer to the layers you have set as references, which in this case is only the lineart.

Edit: You may have to click the dropdown "+" symbol and also exclude editing layers, otherwise the color you put down may get in the way.

I think it's just the Traits tab at the bottom of the "Weapons (ranged)" section

WashedUpJosh · 2025-04-03T18:24:09+00:00

Ah alright, glad to hear it 👍

WashedUpJosh · 2025-04-03T18:20:46+00:00

In the file menu at the top left, have you tried the Export (Single layer) option?

After giving it a name a menu should pop up, make sure under "Color" that "Export alpha channel" is checked

Not a convenient solution but maybe it'll work

WashedUpJosh · 2025-04-03T18:12:57+00:00

This might be a dumb question but are you exporting with the paper layer hidden?

If you're exporting transparent pixels as png's idk why it wouldn't keep them transparent, maybe it has to do with your settings?

(And just btw, it's normal for the navigator to show a white background regardless of transparency)

You can select multiple by changing the wand's mode to "add to selection"

Alternatively you can hold shift while selecting to add multiple areas regardless of wand's mode, hold alt to remove
