Welcome to <span class="mu-s">QUEST ART GENERAL</span>, a quest for showcasing the art of your quest and its characters! Players of all skill levels are welcome!
<span class="mu-s">QAG rules:</span>
1. <span class="mu-s">Don't spam.</span> Multiple posts are fine but keep it below Souv tier - paragraphs of random bullshit.
2: You are free to draw/post work of others' characters, but <span class="mu-s">no begging.</span>
3. <span class="mu-s">Keep it SFW.</span> This is a blue board. If you feel the need for otherwise, link it in the thread so it doesn't get nuked.
4. No dramafagging/vendettafagging. <span class="mu-s">No blatant shitting on others' art.</span> This is a quest to draw and vibe about art, /qst/ OCs, and their respective lore.
5. <span class="mu-s">If someone does give you fanart of your quest/character, be sure to thank drawfrens</span> for their hard work, it's common courtesy ^ w ^

I'm going to be honest, I really don't see a point to these threads. They never reach autosage limit and anything they could be covered by the /qtg/. /qst/ doesn't have enough artists to really justify this, especially since it isn't even a quest itself but just fanart. I really don't see the point.

>>5641927 Original /qag/ OP here.
I thought these things would die after like 2 threads or so, but other anons (like current OP) seemed to like the /qag/ threads enough to take matters into their own hands, enough that they'd even taken the initiative to make the /qag/ OP picture themselves.
However few participants there are, let the anons have fun, as that was my original intent with these threads.

>>5644405 Hey that is pretty cool. Do you use some kind of program for that?

>>5644425 I like the top one better. I think it ephasizes the "roundness" and bulkyness of the helmet more, while the lower one lighter and sleek in comparison. I don't know much about helmets and they both look good, so either one is fine for me at least.
Anonymous
>>5644425 Don't agonize over the details. You're making a pixelated sprite so you're already sacrificing a certain amount of fidelity. As long people can see what type of soldier it is at a glance, it doesn't matter if the edge of the helmet is 3 pixels off.

So I think that this time I got a good reference so that the eyes and all that could be where they need to be, but I think this helmet is honestly kinda hard.
It kinda ends up looking too much like other freakishly round helmets.

Is AI art discussion allowed here? I’m planning a quest and advice and resources would be appreciated.
Anonymous
>>5662201 I don't see why it wouldn't be. It's nothing to pick fights over, despite how people love to do it all over the place for some reason. It's just a tool, and a very useful one for people who don't have a studio full of artists to churn out concepts or the time to stuff a sketchbook.
Anonymous
>>5662208 My own motivation is that I’m absolutely artistically challenged and I don’t want to just resort to using existing art as “faceclaims.”
Anonymous
>>5662217 As much as I'm not too fond of AI, it's definitely a good way to shove some images into your quest.
>faceclaim stuff I've done it (very minimally) and never faced that issue or have gotten any complaints.
But also learning to draw is rewarding in-and-of-itself... Consider giving it a whirl even if you decide to go the AI route. Even if you stumble along the way the visible progress you will make is what makes it very fun and enjoyable (t. was absolute ass at drawing at one point).
Best of luck on your quest, fren!

I posted some sketches in the last one, may as well do this here too, though there's more of a point I'd want to note with this one. Whenever I make something that's with my characters, in an established setting, whatever, I try to make things match, so that say, a pinup, isn't done out of character. You can be off model with an action or mood as much as a depiction, after all, and it's arguably more important. I also try to time things so that something like fanservice doesn't influence player thinking, making sure the influences are appropriate to what's going on, maybe. I'm not really sure, this is pretty much just theory.

I've been amusing myself by redrawing the Kobolds from NWS Quest. Figured I'd share the WIP line art, I've still got to colour and give Wiggles his accessories.

Anonymous
>>5665926 Do you have an example? Tracing can be easier/harder based on how distinct you edges are and some things like shading don't translate well to a traced image without also going to the extent of reshading.

>>5665939 Fair point; I try to make my line-work relatively easy to figure out at a glance, but when I find something to post we'll have a better idea. Maybe I'll have a rough outline of the MC ready in a day or two.
For shading, I'm not planning anything particularly complicated. Clicking a "paint-bucket" with the right color inside the relevant area would probably a good enough approximation in most cases.

On another note, the concept art is coming along a lot more quickly than I expected it to, so there's a good chance I can post it sometime tomorrow.

>>5665985 >Very nice! They're cute. Thanks, lizards are one of the few things I can draw decently freehand since there's no hair, fur, clothes and uncanny valley to deal with. I should probably challenge myself and try to draw more than cute lizards.
Credit where is due though, Banana's design with the big floppy ears make it hard to have the result be less than adorable.
>>5666009 >digital version would look less... cobbled together Idk cobbled together shows a lot of passion and sovl being put into it. More so than something AI generated or just a generic image from the net anyway.

>>5666009 Don't sleep on trad art, brother. Just because a piece is digital doesn't make it automatically better than pencil and paper, it all lies in the technique and the sovl.

>>5666839 Traced it or you bud if you wanna add some colour digitally.
I'd suggest using something a step up from paint (like gimp or something) so you can use layers for your colour and maybe select and warp the lines so you can change the sketch proportions however you like.
