KPH,
Perhaps they'd actually ENJOY his opinions. Oh man, when he wants loves, he makes it KNOWN! He'll squeak and keep squeaking until I pick him up!

That's super cute, too! I just like making cookies and cake and such. Maybe a cat bakery would be better. :)

my buddy and I talk about setting up a cat bar. or cat pizzeria. And we'd adopt all the cats who are older or have been looking for homes for over 2 years. And we'd have special feline safe drinks or pizza or snacks that people could buy to feed the kitties

KPH,
When I mentioned I wanted a needy cat, they had smiled at me and said perfect, and I knew I was going to have options. LOL. They said I'm their people, and have been asking me to work with them ever since.

Athena,
Just remember to give yourself lots of patience <3

It's hard because I want to do it but it makes me miserable. I definitely understand why some artists quit and I wouldn't beg them to come back

Well I'm glad you know that. I think I burnt myself out because I didnt stop when I lost motivation. Now I'm trying to encourage myself to do some again but it makes me miserable if I look at a piece for more than 30 minutes

Athena,
For sure. Lots of artists crash and burn, sadly. When motivational issues strike with me, it's when I know for sure I HAVE to step back and let myself relax. Otherwise, I hit a block and it takes longer to get back into it.

Kiwi,
I've interacted with a few but never adopted one until now. They're fun! It's unfortunate so many people avoid them because they walk funky. This little one was searching for two YEARS to no avail.

Manip Resizing Help June 6, 2020 11:13 AM

Hi, I'm getting back into art and I remember having issues with quality and sizing the last time that I worked on horse art. I was wondering if you guys resize the background and horse and then work on it, work on it then resize it, or some other combo.

This is my question because I started to use better quality stock when I was really into doing my manips and noticed that the stock I was using wasn't great, so I made the adjustment. So I'm thinking that the resizing thing is what's messing with the quality and when I've tried messing around with different methods (it has been awhile though), I noticed different qualities in art, but couldn't figure out which method was best when resizing.

I hope this wasn't confusing! Any help is appreciated :)

Something you should notice is that some programs are worse at resizing than others. For example, Gimp is terrible while Photoshop is pretty good at it.
Always always work without resizing. You need your canvas to be big so you can work on details better.
When everything is completed, what I do is I export the whole thing (horse + background) to PNG. PNG doesn't lose quality compared to JPG.
Then, I make a new file with the size required for HEE (300x300, 500x500 and so on) and I open the PNG image on that new file to then resize it. That's what has worked so far for me.

Also, going along with Shivering Sea, if you have Photoshop you can make the image you are fitting in your new file a smart object and it will keep a lot of detail. You can also flatten an image and resize it using your first file if you are using photoshop and then use that as your PNG if you do not want to save it as one first.

i don't know if this will help, but with the app i used, i worked in 1000x1000 first then save it(after finishing it) as png then resize it to 500x500. but i'm not an expert so maybe someone has a better advice!
