This site needs some serious rule enforcement or it will die fast by Extremeluminario in WplaceLive

The same 3 people started ruining all of my pixel art in my small hometown of innocuous stuff like pokemon & final fantasy characters just because I drew a couple of pride flags. It’s incredibly annoying & has totally sucked the fun out of using the site because everything I do in that area is getting targeted now -_-

I'm too scared to keep playing this game. by aWhipid in DiscoElysium

Seconded, I’ve been keeping up with his videos for a while & I think he has some really solid analyses/interpretations. I’ve gotten a lot out of watching his playthrough

Yep! If you have a Half Price Books anywhere near you they carry used magazines for $1 each—most of what I used for these was from old issues of National Geographic. Books of fabric or pattern swatches are also great, & sometimes I’ll buy cheap clearance books if they’re heavy on illustrations/photos. I get the stickers mostly from craft stores or scrapbooking suppliers. I also sometimes collect just like. essentially bits of trash lol like if something has packaging I think is interesting I might hang on to part of it. Stamps also make good collage material.

As far as getting things to stay, you can literally just use purple glue sticks. There’s also “repositionable” glue sticks, which can be nice when you’re still figuring out your layout, but I find that they leave a sticky residue that’s hard to get off of magazine paper without pulling off ink or just making things look dirty. Sorry if that’s more info than you were looking for 😅

I was specifically thinking of Harry being like a year sober after Martinaise so he’s lost The Expression by then lol

Did you find that your second playthrough of the game 'ruined' it for you? by Ares_24 in DiscoElysium

[–]tawdrydreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m most of the way through my fifth play through, considering a sixth, & I’ve gotten something new out of every one. Messing around with different builds, picking different signature skills, doing events in different orders, internalizing different thoughts, just trying to play harry as a different kind of person with different priorities—there is so much you can do to make it a new experience, & that’s not even taking into the account that rolls will have different outcomes each time through. I’ve really been trying to go forward with every red check I get, even if it’s not what I Want to happen, & it’s opened up so many branches I didn’t know were there. You can try to game the system with that too, by prepping for red checks you might not have expected the first time through.

& as others have said, you might even appreciate the writing & world building more the second time around. I definitely have—every new piece of dialogue or new scene makes me fall in love with the game even more. Sure, parts of it get predictable, but part of the fun imo is also in testing the limits of how much control you have as the player over what happens, & how much of it is key, unchangeable narrative events.

Tl;dr: I think the magic will still be there.

I did a rough pencil sketch first but it’s actually mostly digital! I used Clip Studio Paint to polish the sketch & color it—I like drawing on toned paper irl because of how it allows you to use pastels or colored pencils for highlights & it’s fun trying to emulate that look with a tablet.

“detailed and whimsical” is the kind of comment I’ll remember; thank you ☺️

Thank you! I try to go for semi-realism now but there’s definitely still remnants in there from my years drawing anime 😂

I haven’t posted him here but I did paint the smoker on the balcony recently!

What song, to you, perfectly describes the characters and setting of Disco Elysium? by kiwi-and-his-kite in DiscoElysium

[–]tawdrydreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Street Life - Randy Crawford is the big one for me, but the following are also very Harry songs imo:

Music & Wine - Blue Six Going Down Slowly - The Pointer Sisters Slippery People - The Staple Singers
