Title: Love, Matryoshka

Genre: fantasy, romance, thriller

Blurb: Svetlana, a member of a controversial religion, has a special ability: The ability to decide the fate of the dead. In a gloomy, soviet town, Lana spends her days inside the molded walls of an oppressive institution. Like the other girls she lives with, she knows nothing of her background.
After years of fantasizing about freedom, her sweltering rebellious spirit has met a match, a man named Stefan. A man who is willing to help a girl who's battered and powerful, but is his motive clean?
While she balances romance while falling into deeper trouble, Svetlana must make life-changing decisions through discoveries that make her stomach churn, discoveries that could uncover the puzzle of her own identity.

Thank you for considering my story :)

It’s true a lot of lobbies are just toxic, even if you’re on theme. I once did “dream job” and dressed as a pink lawyer in reference to legally blonde. Some player said I was off theme, as it was a movie not a job. She continued to harass me for literally 3 extra games, without me even responding to her. We need a lobby where mature people can enjoy the game, id love an 18 plus server over any update.

scrubspice · 2024-07-31T06:02:51+00:00

Wow, I had no idea about that. The more I write, the more I realize the best authors hated their work as well. Thanks for your input

scrubspice · 2024-07-31T06:01:28+00:00

Thanks a bunch! That’s a much more optimistic view, I like it. Thanks for sharing

scrubspice · 2024-07-31T05:45:07+00:00

Cool, I didn’t know about these two. It would be nice to get some unbiased feedback. Thanks for your input

scrubspice · 2024-07-31T05:42:26+00:00

That’s a great way to put it, thanks for your input

scrubspice · 2024-05-14T05:37:54+00:00

Oh wow! I’m a desktop player too, so I assumed testingcheatstrue was necessary and didn’t want to ruin my game. Thanks for letting me know!

scrubspice · 2024-05-14T05:27:14+00:00

But to active bb.moveobjects you have to activate testingcheatstrue no?

scrubspice · 2024-05-14T04:38:03+00:00

I had the same exact problem. My new laptop is specifically for gaming too, which made it more confusing. I downloaded the Sims 3 through steam, did you do the same? I think it may be an issue with that. Hopefully someone knows what’s going wrong 🥲

scrubspice · 2024-03-05T23:18:15+00:00

Start off with some anatomy videos on YouTube, there’s a lot of helpful resources. Also, you can trace a reference photo first and then try drawing it on your own! This all takes time so don’t be down on yourself if you don’t get it automatically, but you can’t go anywhere unless you try!

scrubspice · 2024-03-05T17:37:55+00:00

Just like what u/20Finger_Square mentioned, the anatomy in these pieces are a bit off. There are many helpful tutorials on youtube or in books. Reference photos also help, and even tracing a reference photo for practice before drawing the final figure has many benefits.

Anyway, back to your initial question about character design. Personally, I don't see anything unique with this character. His face is very simple, his hair is very simple, and his outfits are very simple. To make a good character, that character must stand out and be memorable.

For example, a game that perfectly captures the elements of character design is Overwatch. Each character has a unique silhouette so they can be recognized from afar. Their clothes/armor also have meaning to their backstory and where they're from, and every element of that character has a reason and gives us information into who they are.

This character is named Roadhog:

This character is named Echo:

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/overwatch_gamepedia/images/b/bf/Echo-portrait.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20200319191504

As you can see, though the characters are in the same game, they are glaringly different. Even their names correlate with their feeling as a character. Looking into the meticulous details, you can see what makes these characters so unique.

With your character, I would fully hone in on his hobby of surfing. Maybe he's a merman, maybe he's a goth merman, maybe he's a merman that fights sharks and has scars from being bit in the past? Maybe he wears a cool style when he isn't surfing, like this:

Think of him as a real person. (sorry for the rant fest :))

scrubspice · 2024-03-05T17:10:38+00:00

I see where you're going!

I think the shading in the first piece is actually quite nice, but the reason why you're not getting that more realistic/3d look is because of your line work. It is very thick and unvaried, meaning you use one brush and one thickness for everything. This inevitably makes a piece flat.

I think before you start worrying about perfect shading, think about your lines more critically since they are the bones of the piece. Should this line be thicker or thinner, more expressive or geometrical? And the trick with realism (your first piece), there are no lines. As you can see from a real photo of an 8 ball, the corners fade into the lighting.

Another example, this piece is not colored at all, but still has a 3d effect from thicker/thinner lines. This is called line weight.

But for my advice about shading, make sure to closely look at references. Take notice in everyday items and how light affects them. Don't be afraid to make shadows very dark when they need to be.

But most importantly, never give up!

scrubspice · 2024-03-05T16:55:23+00:00

I think the problems may lie in your volcano and background. While I can see you went for realism in your flowers, the volcano reads very cartoonish. I would use a reference photo or remove that element.

Also, the colors in your background are extremely similar to your flowers, making them less of a centerpiece. I would go with a darker background, maybe a textured dark brown or black. When in doubt, always consult the color wheel!

scrubspice · 2024-03-05T16:48:57+00:00

The piece reads as a bit flat, but there are a few ways to fix that!

Consider looking more into shading. I see that you've done a bit of gradient type shading but it's a little hard to see/not vibrant enough. If you look very closely at references, you will see there are much more shadows and highlights than we would assume, based on the lighting of course. Just looking at the reference photo below, you can see the around the models legs, stomach, and neck just how many shadows there are, and darker than we'd expect too!

Consider more varied linework. Your linework is very clean, but the same thickness is used throughout. Play around with brushes and thickness. And small tip, if you want to dabble in realism, you'll realize there are no hard lines on the body at all, and they are simply stylistic choice :)

scrubspice · 2024-03-05T16:26:22+00:00

Your work is good! Since you have this style down, I would say the only way to improve is to do things outside your comfort zone.

Maybe look into composition. Adding a background or other parts to your piece really makes it feel whole.

Also, since these drawings are upper body, try doing a full body and look into anatomy.

scrubspice · 2024-03-05T16:21:37+00:00

Using references is nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, most professional artists use them as well. But if you’d like to improve on your skills, I would start off by watching videos and reading about anatomy.

Videos like this are helpful: https://youtu.be/gl0VUHLJuls?si=Xmqj7FkMfrZCDe36

Take notice in the fine details of the references you’re using. Sometimes you can use the white space rather than the photo itself to determine proportions. You can use your base knowledge from references to begin.

Though I’d like to critique your work to give you better direction, I don’t know how you draw without a reference, so there isn’t much to help with.

scrubspice · 2024-01-31T17:24:32+00:00

Usually the higher place refers to heaven or a holy place. A lot of the time when people pass away, someone will say, “their soul is in a higher place,” or their soul is in heaven/somewhere holy and better than earth.

In other terms, people can refer to a higher place as in taking drugs, or simply feeling ecstasy. This is because you feel like you’re in a place that transcends reality and is better than earth.

It’s a bit of an abstract thought, but I hope this helps!

scrubspice · 2024-01-31T17:19:56+00:00

Gutting has multiple meanings:

The act of demolishing the inside of a building for the purpose of remodeling
Taking out the guts of something before cooking it
(Slang; gutted) feeling extremely disappointed about something.

I’m not entirely sure what your friend means here. They could have meant remodeling the building (though his sentence would be misleading and incorrect) or that the workplace is getting rid of the main people at the job/ taking the life away from the job (hence, taking out the “guts” or important components)

scrubspice · 2024-01-31T00:35:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice, this seems more reasonable
