PMD Crossroads - General Discussion Thread

[Nekomata]

Would it be a good idea to have resources listed somewhere (Q&A thread?)? Like the font that was chosen and maybe some good brushes if people don't have a preferred brush already? :O I know I'd find that helpful if I signed up xD If it's already somewhere and I just missed it, ignore me xD

I'll put all that together this weekend. It's been... a crazy few days.

I plan on getting another guide up over the weekend and maybe post up some good resources I've found in terms of brushes, fonts, other guides, etc. (Not all the brushes I use are free, but they are DEFINITELY worth it for the quality.) I'll put links to all this on the main post of all PMDXR threads when it's ready. xD

Nice! I'm always looking for good brushes :D

Good brushes are the best thing. <3 I make some myself from time to time- sometimes it's easier than looking for them.

Wow that's pretty nifty! :O All I've made before are patterns xD

That would be EPIC, because I mainly use the default Photoshop brushes. I imagine that probably makes you cringe just thinking about it, but yeah... this is why I use pen tools in other programs for line art. Shading and highlights are done using the default brushes which... leave a lot to be desired. XD

And yeah, it's been kinda crazy for me too. We're all one big crazy family here exchanging craziness. XD

I'll be sure to get this all together first chance I get! Right now I'm doing some spring cleaning for the comics section as a whole. I started with making the PMDXR threads a little nicer. Everything should be looking better before long. I included links to the tips/tricks/guides/resources thread on every PMDXR thread, so hopefully that'll help. xD

THANK YOU, you're an angel. XD

I appreciate this a lot, because I really just don't have the drawing brushes I need and I'm not even sure what's a good one and what's just scrappy when it comes to looking around online for them. With these, since I definitely know you use these brushes to do the awesome work you do in what feels like record time give-Usain-Bolt-a-run-for-his-money speed, I know they're the real deal. :3

I put together a post that includes a few brush sets up in the tips/tricks/guides thread. It's includes some of the brush sets I use or keep meaning to use. Both free and paid! I'll be adding things like links to guides and videos that I think are worth looking at later, too!

I HIGHLY recommend Kyle's Megapack. In there are included some of the BEST inking brushes I've seen to date. Compare my lineart from early PRS days to today- look carefully enough and I'm sure you'll be able to pick out the page I started using his brushes for my lineart. xD

Anyway, time to hunt down my favorite guides and whatnot!
