Something I Try To Keep In Mind When Making Art That Looks Vintage Is Keeping A Limited Color Pallette.

Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

I hate the design of minecraft villagers

they're huge-nosed, money hungry, ugly, primitive, golem-making explicitely-non-human humanoids. unless of course they're the evil dark-magic practicing main villains of the universe (who are also huge-nosed ugly non-human humanoids). And people still deny how antisemetic the designs are, despite the fact that Villagers were designed by Notch, also known as Markus "Q is legit. Don't trust the media" Persson.

So! I decided to fixit.

I could just make them humans, but I'd prefer keeping to canon and having players be the only humans. So, let's make them anthro animals like Piglins!

I think sheep is the best animal, as they can be docile symbols of peace like Villagers, or aggressive headbutting gremlins like Illagers. The lore of villagers and illagers shown in MC Legends is basically that they both blindly worship humans, right? Might as well make them literal sheeple!

(Yeah, turns out it's ridiculously easy to make a resource pack that replaces models.)

Introducing: Lamblets & Ramlets!

The two species differentiated by the Ramlets having horns, while the Lamblets do not. However, that might not always be enough to differentiate them at a glance. Not as easily as you can with the vanilla beige vs gray skin. Therefore, there's four versions of the pack, to suit your preference of what type of balance you want between gameplay and variety.

Simplicity The most similar to vanilla - Lamblets have beige skin and white wool, while Ramlets have gray skin and dark gray wool.

Variety Lamblets have beige skin and Ramlets have gray skin. Both have one of 6 random wool colors - white, gray, dark gray, black, brown, and rarely, pink.

Diversity Lamblets have random wool and one of 4 random skin tones - beige, white, gray, and black. Ramlets have random wool, but always gray skin.

Canonicity Both Lamblets and Ramlets have both random skin and random wool.

You can find Lamblets & Ramlets on Modrinth!

REQUIRES EITHER OPTIFINE OR ENTITY MODEL FEATURES AND ENTITY TEXTURE FEATURES !!!

Some Sketched Fanart Of @bonefall’s Better Bones Au, Including His Versions Of The Characters Bumble,

Some sketched fanart of @bonefall’s Better Bones au, including his versions of the characters Bumble, Houndleap, Lionblaze and Runningnose.

I have love, love, loved reading through all the posts on clan culture and foods, it’s so great to see a version of the books that leans into the fantasy and sorta ‘human’ elements of the clans, while also creating a consistent moral theme.

I wanted to make this look like the scribbled journal of some baffled human discoverer cobbling together their findings of the clans :) also the scribbly notes are all based on text posts of the au.

A drawing of a young Rose Lalonde standing to the left of and behind her mother, who is washing dishes. Rose looks up at her with a manner of contempt known only to 8-year-old Rose Lalonde. She has a shirt with a clubs symbol and her hair is in braids. White text reads "Your mother is sober. Moments like these are rare, better take the opportunity to engage her in conversation. Something's been nagging you."
A zoom-in on Rose. Her face is now rendered "more symbolically", AKA with more detail. Purple text above her reads "Mother."
Rose's mother is silent and continues to scrub at the singular dish she's holding. The suds are getting a little out of control. Rose continues to look up at her, but now she's drawn in such a way that it looks like she's trying to explode her mother with her mind. She is also drawn in significantly less detail.
Rose's mother from the back. Her hair has been straightened so that only one uniform curl(?) remains in the back like those 60s housewives had. A conversation which follows finally begins, again started by Rose: "Mother." "You need to speak up rosie you know I dont like it when you mumble" "I'm not mumbling. You just have the faucet running too loudly." "Hmm okay rosie you know I'm just being silly w you!" "Maybe I want to have a serious conversation. I should think any silliness would be rendered unwelcome." "okay what will we be discussing so seeeeriously?" The other set of text is dark pink.
Rose's face is cast in a purple light. Purple text reads "Mother, why don't I have a father?"
A pink eye is shown up-close. Purple text continues to read, "I have my theories of course. I'm not naive. Am I the unfortunate result of an affair that you kept out of pity? Did he leave before I grew old enough to remember him? Or did he suffer some cruel fate and leave the mortal realm before I could enter it kicking and screaming?" The word naive is underlined.
Rose's mom turns around to face her daughter. Bubbles almost begin to overflow in the sink. She says, "Oh" "Is that all this is about?" Only the top of Rose's head can be seen, where one of those angry vein-symbols appears comically over her hair.
A zoom in on the face of Rose's mom, and her head tilts. She says, "Rosie, you're adopted." She's smiling blankly.
Rose is now no longer cast in purple, but black and white. She squints up at her mother. Next to her are three small dots.
Rose looks down and to the side. Her brows furrow. She doesn't understand.
White text over a final drawing of Rose reads "Your mother really is a master of psychological manipulation. That one has you stumped."

rose lalonde, age 8: what did she mean by this. what mind games is she playing

rose lalonde, age 13: oh.

THERE IS. a website. that takes 3D models with seams and pulls it apart to make a plushie pattern and informs you where things need to be edited or darts added for the best effect. and then it lets you scale it and print off your pattern. and I want to lose my MIND because I've lost steam halfway through so many plushie patterns in the mind numbing in betweens of unwrapping, copying all of the meshes down as pieces, transferring those, testing them, then finding obvious tweaks... like... this would eradicate 99% of my trial and error workflow for 3D models to plushies & MAYBE ILL FINALLY FINISH SCREAMTAIL...

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it’s just… Social media. That’s it. Social media and news sites. And I’m tired of social media and I’m tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?
