Hey the PoseManiacs is 504

@ThatUsualGuy06  
Seems to be down for everyone - give it a day or two, might just be a transient or maintenance.

hello

is this a post for commissions?c:

@LaceyCassidy97  
Sadly, No,  
this is a place for resources dedicated to lineart, shading etc.

I forgot that this thread exists

@Ponynstuff320 (Toon-n-crossover  
and it seems posemaniac is already down since 2 years ago, hm?

What do you guys think Ctrl Paint?

Also should I finish up Ctrl Paint before doing actual digital drawing or should I also do some drawing practice right now?

I kind of want to get to drawing already.

This has been helpful.

Is there a pony animation tutorial?

Can anyone help me find a night vector of Sweet Apple Acres like this, just without fluttershy or text?

@Waldo.
I wonder if you could make one by applying a mask? Let me look …

@Ciaran
In IbisPaint?

@Waldo.
Never heard of it, but if it’s like PhotoShop or SAI it should do the hard work pretty fast. Like, open up one of the daytime pics of the farm and try working with an adjustment layer, or throw it into Levels and maybe layer a darker blue over it or something … trying things … brb.

Using

• Mode: Linear Burn
• Opacity: 80%
• Color: H:299• S:81% B:78% (basically, a deepish blue, kind of like a middle twilight)

Results in:

Feel free to use this if it’s what you’re looking for.

Needs stars, and is much more blue than what you had above. So, something with more purple might make it better - it depends on how you’re using it, and what “time of night” you want, and whether there is a moon or something like that. If you’d like it tweaked let me know and I’ll try to get it where you want it.

If you’d like me to try to add stars and make it more of a color match to what you posted, let me know and I’ll give it a try.

Also, please note there’s other background image assets that might give a better source image, like

@Ciaran
Thanks. I was thinking about using it to animate a Christmas light show.
The question is, how am I going to pull it off?

@Waldo.
I think maybe if you take the original background and “wash it out” - make it look more silvery like something actually in the moonlight, you would then be able to even do things like animate lights where you want them, and add a small fire in the barn yard with logs around it. Even the trees could provide faint illumination to the scene.

It’s basically what the folks working on the show did - make as much use as they can from existing assets, and reuse things as much as you can.

I’ve never used IbisPaint, but I’m guessing that it has something like what I did in PhotoShop. And, what I did was maybe 5 minutes of poking at it - if you spend more time, I’m sure you can get something significantly cooler :)

I guess … if what I did looks like it’s heading the direction you’d like to go, please let me know and I’ll try to make a background that has the kind of contrast your first example has. No promises, but I’ll try to help :)
