General update all around:
Damn, this creative rut sucks, and it's running over all of my projects. Pain medication has my focus foggy as Hell, should pass in time and I can get my groove back. Been ongoing for a while, no doubt the slow updates have been noticed. I'd try to set a hiatus to get my mojo and thoughts together, but that mentality is what kills projects.
Another struggle is something embarrassing. Paintdotnet and I have been brothers in blood for seven years now, and for the very first time, I can't find a way to work with her. I've tried so many fixes, but with the new camera systems, it messes with the lighting.
What I've been doing is using a black layer on top of most others, Using the eraser tool at a low opacity, and scrubbing around the visible area, then blurring it so it's more organic looking. Then I would move and rotate it to center on you guys, and where you're looking.
Issue is the camera is a static semi-transparent circle, which sounds super simple, except it's not. As a separate layer the black on the other cancels it out. I can cheese it if I keep both on the same layer, but if the camera overlaps the view cone even slightly, they can't layer over each other since they are both an absence of imagery. Recreating the camera every page is the only thing I can think to do, but it drives me crazy as there has to be an easier, more efficient way. Gotta un-stir fry by brain.
