 05:03:54 | @Mael, I think somebody else just made me aware of that, but thank you. |
05:02:28 Tragedy @Aspen
The money goes to Eve and those who work on the game, the bank has nothing to do with it? |
05:02:05 @Minerva,
I would have to because I'm not in college yet and I should get outside and learn how the world works. (No, I'm serious, I used to have ideas about running a business for myself at one point, so I have to learn some things.) |
05:01:16 Ally 💜| She is better than yesterday but she is still pacing back snd forth 😭 Its breaking my heart @Revel |
05:00:32 | Has she calmed down at all? |
05:00:25 | @Ally, aww, look at the little old lady. |
05:00:19 Green|Gren|Grenlin| 663k this week, definitely worth getting into showing. I was at one point also put off by it, took a player explaining it to me for me to understand how it works |
05:00:06 Stalker of Chat How does this even happen? 😂 No wonder my some of my horses are showing well yet placing shitty
-HEE Click- |
04:59:47 Min| ... I think some basic research into how companies work might be in order lol. You pay money for services and goods, it goes to the person you paid. Who then puts it in a bank but the only way "the bank" would have it as theirs is if they were running the game lol |
04:58:27 Storm| Back later. Supper and things to do |
04:58:09 Storm| I'm happy to help whoever needs it. |
04:57:52 Court| Yeah I think I'm doing something wrong lol I barely make anything back T-T |
04:57:45 | *do you have a photo of her? |
04:57:26 Storm| Always get as many geldings as possible and try to enter 500 a day until you hit the max per week. It helps a ton. Especially when done right. My BM handles my SAs though |
04:57:21 Ally 💜| Did I show you the dog we rescued? @revel |
04:57:07 RFS (OG Name)| usually when I show I get 60 back and make a 6k profit...yeah,that is bad |
04:57:05 @Minerva,
It would make sense because if I paid and it only goes to the bank, and if it does not support the person who made the game, I am not paying. If it goes to the Admin, I see it as a totally worthy cause and am willing to pay for it only then. |
04:56:33 Ally 💜| I get about 300k but im still learning |
than 1 day

I struggle horrendously with hooves in almost all my pieces where hooves are touching the ground visably and besides the other things I could work on these hooves are supidly annoying I try and try and still seem to be getting no better at it. Just though I'd come and ask if anyone has any tips on how to help me out a little. Or ever to ask if I am over exaggerating this. |

I am by no means a hoof master - but I think I may be able to provide some tips! I certainly don't think you're hooves are too bad, but personally there are a few things I would do differently. Personally I like less smudged hooves, as I go for a less painted look with my horses. I generally try to preserve as much as the original hooves on the stock as possible, then I use the clone tool to fill them out and create the proper shape/cover up any grass etc. When I do it I always try and preserve the natural colour changes and even grain in the image, so I tend to use a size 7ish brush and clone from areas directly above/below etc but in separate 'dots' if that makes sense , ie I don't drag the brush. For me that stops the hooves from becoming overly muddy in colour and preserves their natural grain and colour. It's only after I get the shape right doing this method that I do any smudging - which for me is pretty minimal as I go for more realistic look and the details on the hoof are quite delicate. That is just my personal method though, and I tend to se stock that has at least one visible hoof so that I can reuse its texture if I need to repaint the others. In terms of grounding, I think you've done quite well with the last two, especially the left side of the green image. I would suggest trying out putting a darker, more localized shadow directly beneath a hoof that's on the ground in addition to the rest of the shadows, as I find this helps especially when there isn't much grass etc covering the hoof (ie the first image). What I would also be inclined to do would be to lightly darken the bottom of the hooves themselves that are on the ground, especially if there is grass or sand as this can create a slight shadow. Here is a quick breakdown of nit-picky things I would do differently on each of the pieces - but don't take these as gospel, but my preference! 1. The main thing that sticks out is the colour, while you don't want super dark hooves with white socks, I'd stay away from going too pink - aim for a more grey/white/even yellowish colour such as with the last image. I'd have a go at adding an extra dark shadow right under the hoof as well, and darken the hoof bottom. I'd also say the closer front hoof is a tad too long but that's very pedantic lol 2. The colour works a lot better here, I would just try to darken the hooves around where the sand sits in fort to show some shadow/blend it better. Again this is pedantic, but I feel the front hoof on the ground should have a more angled left side so that it comes out a bit more to the side - try following the angle/line of the pastern downwards to the ground. 3. The grounding is really nice with the grass and I like the less smudged (lighter) front hoof. My only hang up would be the darker front hoof, it looks a bit blocky so I would erase more of it so it looks like more grass is covering it. I would also consider making it lighter so it better matches the other hooves. 4. I think this one fits really nicely with your art style - the hooves don't feel overly smudged or totally one colour, but are also in a similar painted style to the horses body. The only thing I'd try would be darkening the hoof on the ground just above were the sand covers it to add a bit of shadow. Overall I think you are doing great! These are just my preferences and I find that no horse stock can be treated the same, you just have to play around and try different things - so don't get discouraged. I apologies for the essay lol, It may not even be the sort of feedback you wanted, but I clearly quite like my hooves! Hopefully this all makes sense, feel free to PM me if you ever need help! |
