#I tried lineless art again :D

[gfdatingsim]

HOO you don't have to respond to this bc I'm gonna RAMBLE but I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this game. I remember when it first came out years ago, I love dating sims, but I had never seen Gravity Falls before. I thought "aw man, if I play this, a bunch of references will probably go over my head huh" so I decided to actually sit and watch GF, I binged it and managed to finish the whole series in about two or three days. I wouldn't have taken initiative to watch the show at *all* if it wasn't for this dating sim, but I sincerely love visual novels more than anything else in the world, and I am so glad I watched the show. I really enjoyed it. Now, years have passed, I decided that I wanted to replay this dating sim again today, but it'd been years since I'd played or even watched the show and I didn't remember much of anything at all, so I rewatched again and fell in love like the first time. I'm pretty sure I sped through the episodes in less than five days this week because I was so so so excited to play this game again. I smiled SO big when I heard the music after opening the title screen. Felt like coming home.

I can tell a lot of love was put into this game. I've tried making dating sims before, just personal ones for my own self indulgence with my OCs and such, and like... dude, it's so hard! Making games is hard!!! Pushing yourself to actually finish a game is hard! Not to mention coding, that's like a whole other can of worms more tempting to never open. So the fact that you finished this game is impressive just in itself! Not only does your game seem so in-character, making it so easy to read everything in the character voices, but it's got such expressive sprites!! I cannot tell you how many otomes I've played where the sprites are just one plain expression with maybe 3 different eyebrow angles and just a switch between a smile and a frown. But your sprites really move!! The body language!! Oh my god. The way the sprites are colored to fit the setting. Like their coloring is darker if they're outside, and even tinted red in the sunset backgrounds. I literally just sat and stared at the screen when that first transition into nighttime happened and you see the characters matching. I was so impressed. Even Stan's hands in his pockets change when he bunches his shoulders forward ever so slightly. The attention to detail is amazing. The outfit changes too!!! Ahh!!! :D

The illustrations. Wow. Just.. man, please let me ramble about the CGs, they're gorgeous. The brush strokes look so so so soft and the fact that so much time was put even into the backgrounds... lineless and so clean... every few minutes I take the time to just stare at the artwork. I rarely draw backgrounds because I find it so difficult, and anyone who has the patience to make backgrounds and also paint is really admirable to me. I'm so blown away by the art in this game. The illustrations are magnificent. There is genuine fondness and joy in their eyes in each drawing and it's so pretty to just [parks and rec voice] this is beautiful, I've been staring at these for 5 hours now

I'm so happy to have found a fan-made dating sim who is not only true to the characters, but also slowburn. It feels real, making a genuine connection with these characters at a steady pace, not rushing into things. And maybe this is just because I'm ace, but agh, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to play a game where I don't have to do anything raunchy to get a good ending... like, I've played so many dating sims, it's one of my favorite things to do, but it's always a little bit disheartening to only get a good ending if you do something sexual, from the perspective of a person who. well. isn't! And when I replayed this game today, I remembered "oh yeah... I don't have to worry about that sort of thing" and it also makes me feel more lovable because... well. ahh this might sound dumb but it made me feel like these two would really truly love me, not just despite me being ace, but maybe even *because* of it? It was so refreshing, I'm sorry I'm not the best with putting things into words but I hope I was able to phrase it clear enough to state: I am really, really grateful that this game is made the way that it is, that someone like me is able to play it without any worries. A huge lift off of my shoulders. I can't tell you how many otomes I've played where I've gotten a bad ending or a neutral ending just bc I didn't sleep with someone. Playing this and just having pure fluff and kisses (with a bit of the steamy makeouts on Stan's route? heehee) Hoooo, that was perfect, that was just perfect.

This message is getting so long fjdhkfh I'm sorry I was gonna ramble more about how much I love the game like, the dates, how the dates are very fun to play bc there's such a variety of things to do that makes you feel like you're really in Gravity Falls, and I love how you get to interact with many more characters on the side without it distracting from the main storyline, like interacting with Dipper and Mabel and even Dan and Susan, things like that! I love the little mini games like boxing and playing dungeons, I love that you have to really work hard to get the perfect endings and that Ford takes a little more time to open up about his feelings - hell, I love the little detail that you have to encrypt the codes to get their walkthroughs!! That's such a cute little touch! This whole thing couldn't be more perfect. I adore everything about this game, it's very dear to my heart. You've all put so much love into it, I don't think there's any other fan-made games out there for any other fandoms I'm in, at least to my knowledge, that are so well put together. It's one of my favorite things and I love replaying it at least once a year. Thank you for making me feel like these characters would love me, it helped me through a tough time lately, I've been in and out of the hospital for a few months and this game gave me some much needed comfort today. I hope everyone who worked on this game is doing well right now. And know that there is some random person out there on this planet under the same sky as you, who is always going to cherish the love put into this game, forever, always gonna have a special place in my heart for it and I am so thankful it exists 🥰💙

i love that you noticed so many details about the game!

reading this felt like looking into a mirror a couple times--i've had a similar experience with vns/dating sims, though for me i gave in and stopped playing them bc it felt like while i loved the genre, it never loved me. i've felt those thoughts and worries myself, so i'm really glad you can just relax with this one!!

thank you so much for sending this in :') i hope you're doing well right now too!

So, the Draw This In Your Style event for 100 followers has come to a close... Not too many submissions, but that's okay! I appreciate every one of you who tried their hand at this, they all look fantastic. :)

But since then... WE'VE REACHED 150 FOLLOWERS! WE'RE ON THE ROAD TO 200!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Now, I won't waste any more time, I know y'all want to see who won.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK!

As a reminder, here was the image to draw:

In third place...

@mehyawl !!!!!!

IT'S SO CUTE MAN... AND LINELESS?!?!?!?

The details are really good here everything is shaded really nicely, ESPECIALLY the background. Everything just looks really really good?? Everything looks very HD and it's just so cute.

In second place...

@artblock-tm !!!

THIS JUST LOOKS INCREDIBLE. You are realy good at drawing people and I cannot get over Mado's like. puffy soft sleeves idk.

Sunny looks sleepy and Kris is taking a good nom on that sandwich. They're just having a wonderful time... Anyway TEACH ME HOW TO DRAW HANDS-

I don't know how to express my adoration here everything just looks fantastic. The posing and the shading is all just really, REALLY great. I LOVE your art.

And in first place...

@twipsai !!!!!!!!

YOU JUST TOOK THE DTIYS AND ROLLED WITH IT HUH. YOU DID NOT HAVE THROW IN THAT FLOWER SYMBOLISM BUT YOU DID YOU NERD. STOP GIVING ME IDEAS LMAO.

I just think everything here is really really really nice. You gave so much life and personality to the art ESPECIALLY with the ghosts. When I asked about why Mari was blue and not purple you said it was because you were matching her to his soul color i was like YEAH YAYY SURE

Mari and Chara look so sweet, the ghosts secretly hanging out on the tea party. Kris looks kinda nervous but also hungry. MADO AND SUNNY JUST HAVING A NICE PICNIC.

They make me happy and so does your art.

Let's look at the other wonderful submissions!

Mari behind Sunny, the way you drew her just. aaajghkjJAHKJKKSKGL Miles your art never ceases to both hurt me and amaze me

anon from before again, the one who’s tumblr acted like your blog was gone, saw your lineless cTommy art and I really like how it looks, I tried something similar but it didn’t look as good, got any tips?? (if not then it’s ok :D)

Hmm... Not sure about tips but how i usually do my lineless pieces

You start off doing your usual works, like with line art and all right? One you've colored your piece you'll want to lock the layer with your lineart

Then you will color the edges the same color as the hair/face/clothes, whatever. don't worry about bit and pieces like the lines in tommy's hair in this stage

Then when you're done now those extra lines in the drawuing you'll do a darker shade of the main color ( like tommy's hair )

Now you can add the details and such ! Now you're done :)

I'm not great at explaining but i hope at least the visuals helped :D

EDIT ! I recommend for lineart to use a brush with no change in opacity ! Use a more inky brush so it looks more crisp and clear !

Meg’s 2020 Art Summary

I’ll go ahead and put everything under a cut, but first, I’d just like to say a quick thank you to everyone- to all the new friends and followers I’ve made this past year, and to all of my friends from the past few years that’ve stuck by me. I can’t imagine life without you all! Thank you!!!

January

MC awakening into Hera. Still something I’m pretty proud of, though I’d like to try redrawing it sometime soon! :D 

February

Ah.... this was a fun one. Ladynoir Wall-E au vuv very fun time

March

Another fave <3 Alex really helped me find my footing when it came to using they/them pronouns, for myself and for others.

April

April was mostly rough sketches, but I really loved how this one of Ruelle came out! She’s such a detailed character, it’s insane!

May

Not much for May, either! But this Alex with antlers is still pretty cute vuv

June 

Nonbinary Adrien, Bi Nino, Adrinino...... *chef’s kiss* perfection! This was a gift for my friend Mari (love u Mari!!!) :)

July

Razi is very fun to draw, especially with that expression! I love his character design a lot, so I’m glad I tried my hand at drawing him!

August

A few pokemon that month, a lot of redesigns of old characters! This is Igraine, one of my older OCs- she’s an ekans! :D Her design used to be really plain, but it’s got some pizazz to it now!

September

This one’s a two-parter, because the pictures go together! My Adrienette/Ladynoir knight au! This was probably the first time I really tried my hand at drawing armor with a reference, and I really like how they came out!

October

I didn’t do too much in October, but I did finish one full week of Drawtober so hey! This Marinette is probably my favorite piece from then, y’all know I love my vampire aus :)

November

My favorite piece of the entire year!!! Fawn Centaur Alex resides in my brain 24/7. I was so happy with this piece, through the whole process, and I just think it turned out so well. I was especially happy because this wasn’t the first time I tried to draw this concept, but this time it worked out!

December 

And the final piece! My second favorite this year! Another Alex, a lineless piece that I was drawing purely to experiment with lineless art! It was so hard to do, and I wanted to just give up a few times, but I’m so happy I kept working at it. 

Overall, I’m very very happy with where my art’s gone this year. In addition to all of this, I’ve sketched out an entire 20-something page comic in my sketchbook. This year was amazing for my art’s growth, and I really can’t wait to see what I come up with next year!

Thank you all again, for the support and kindness you’ve shown this past year, I could never thank you all enough <3

Inspired by I-am-THEdragon's works. This was tedious but fun to do, I have more work to do on it, but I wanted to post my general for now. I kind of wondered for a while what a Steward would look like if he were to wear a necktie. Looks weird apparently... Oh well. EDIT: I gave him a collar for fun. A character from the movie Wall-E. Wall-E belongs to Andrew Stanton @ PIXAR EDIT: 23-2-2020 I tried again. I sketched it a bit differently. I tried to do it with basic shading and mostly lineless. I'll add a better tie pattern soon. The original version is here: sta.sh/02892l0n93q9 EDIT: 7-3-2020 This time, I tried to colour it Kosperry style. It now kind of looks like a 3-d art stencil, I guess. My inspiration: fav.me/d64vp4n
