2018 Derpibooru Community Collab

@Salamenace  
Fair enough, although it’s still only 2 out of about…. 300(?).
 
Wonder if anyone will want me to draw their OC? Not been asked yet.

@40kponyguy  
I mean, mine is traditionally drawn, just not traditionally colored.

@40kponyguy  
No, I’ll be drawing it traditionally too. My tablet drawings suck even more than my sketches.

@40kponyguy  
I would’ve asked, but I already have Binkyt11 doing that.

Drawing in paint :^)
 
wont work

>tmw you filled out the form for a flying OC the day it was announced, then immediately proceeded to draw and post your OC flying that very same day, only to come back to this thread a week later and notice this.  
 
…Heck  
I didn’t see that the first time around.  
What do?

I’m looking for someone who will be willing to draw me for the Collab. I cant do digital art and I dont know how to edit my pictures to fit the standards. I would be willing to do an art trade

@Baran  
Well it sounds like you do traditional. Do you need help removing the background?

@xWoofyhoundx  
Well, you messed up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
The whole idea with the form was to pick out the ones they want; otherwise it wasn’t needed.
 
You can still finish the image, and show what it looks like, and just publish it here like a regular image for all to see, regardless if it’s selected or not.

@Liggliluff  
The submission deadline isn’t until December 27th. He’s fine.

@Mike  
Yes, there’s plenty of time making a second version. But my point was that you shouldn’t assume you’ll pass the submission process; you might simply not pass.

I wanna be apart of this, but im to busy to draw something with my oc, if anyone would be willing to draw my horse id love to be in this event thing ; w;

@Cogs Fixmore  
Right now I’m really busy with vectoring, but I can add you to the list as the final one for now.

@Binkyt11  
either that or a digital version like that of my profile pic. I’m ok with either

@Baran  
Well if you have the time to do a traditional version, I can get the background removed in a fairly quick amount of time. You or I can also try to sketch out your OC and I can vector it, though I have about 3-4 not people to vector their OCs. Whichever choice you wish to do is up to you and how quickly do you want it done. You have about a month to do it.

@Liggliluff  
Yee, that’s the thing. I already finished and uploaded that image the day I filled the form. I’m unsure if I’m allowed to delete it and submit another, so that is what I need to know.

@Binkyt11  
I’ll remove the background from any traditional images that still have one, since there’s only a handful of them. But if you want to, awesome! Less work for me :D
 
@xWoofyhoundx  
@Liggliluff  
Still deciding on flying OCs. I should know tomorrow and send out yes/no answers.

@Joey  
I have an app on my phone that’s pretty damn good at removing backgrounds. The only thing I really ask is that the image has a decent amount of quality. Which means that it is not blurry and has a good amount of lighting. Though I can usually fix the latter’s issue, but the better the lighting quality the faster and easier the whole process can go.
 
A good (and only example) would be something I did for 40kponyguy guy a while ago.  
Original:  
>>1590457t (merged)  
Removed BG:  

 
I honestly don’t mind doing it since it’s for the most part really quick and almost effortless to do.

@xWoofyhoundx  
You can still have it uploaded; if it isn’t accepted, you can try next year. – I hope they don’t select an oc twice, to give more people the chance to be included.

@Binkyt11  
What app removes backgrounds?

@Darkest Lunar Flower  
You can’t remove background per se. However, there are plenty of tricks to remove the background. – Simply removing the pure white (#FFFFFF) will have the object fade to write, then sharply become transparent. If the image is compressed in .jpg, it will have a lot of artifacts.
 
The way I do it to make accurate transition from opaque to transparent; it’s easiest if the object has a black outline, otherwise choose the red, green or blue channel that is the darkest. – User curves to make sure the object is pure black and the background is pure white. Now you have an alpha mask.
 
However, if you simply apply the alpha mask, you will have a double transition; both fading to transparent, and fading to white. What you need to do is to paint on the original image (not the mask), an outline around the object to remove the fading to white (you should of course use the same colour as the object’s outline). Now you can apply the alpha mask.
 
I can make a quick image tutorial if someone is interested.

@Liggliluff  
Actually, yes, please. That would be helpful.

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
Okay, let’s use >>1585446 as our image  

 
*TUTORIAL HERE  
How each tool works is different between software.  
To make the transparent transition more accurate, duplicate your layer, and make the new layer at 31%. This will make the transaprency a bit more opaque, but more accurate.
 
COMPARASION:  
 
1. If you only make the pure white into transparency. It will have jagged white edges. You might recognise this style.  
2. If you make the mask, but don’t make the white background into black of the original image, it will fade to white whilst fading away, giving it a glowing outline.  
3. The proper outcome.

I know I don’t have art as proof on derpi, but I’d be happy to help people with their OCs, digital art, comparable to show quality. If I need to show art, I have a DA.

@Binkyt11  
cool thanks means a lot dude, would be nice to be in this huge picture thing o3o
