I wanted to post Miku but I also I wanted to do all of the templates for the iChallenge first. I'm not sure if I should still try to do the challenges because I lost steam :< I also reposted this topic because the miku gif glitched :( If it still glitches this time again, I'm sorry! You can probably just check it here https://twitter.com/novidenB/status/1432685854384803843

In other news, I woke up to so many notifications on my activity tab as well so I wanted to post a topic :D Everything I said earlier sums up how I've been but if you have time to leave a comment, how are you?

I drew too many today and I will try to rest more.

And I might just be tired from pushing myself but I might not take requests anymore

I would still like to receive links to your OC's but I can't guarantee that I will be drawing them. I think that if I open commissions in the future it might be unfair to people paying me if I keep doing free requests. Despite this, I will still draw what I want when I have time to draw and I like seeing people's oc's. Maybe I could post topics asking for links to your OCs that fit a theme, like OC's with two hair colors? or if anyone's hosting adopts and raffles?

I will still try to post topics more regularly. I hope you'd still want to interact despite this announcement. Any suggestions for what more we could talk about other than for drawing stuff for each other?

If you've read this far, if I posted a challenge/tutorial would you complete the it?

An art request from last time for squidkid64, who still posted even when I closed the request because no one was commenting for after a while https://medibang.com/topic/a52101280024401510000695133/

I'm not sure how to interact on the platform. I used to post a lot of GIF topics but no one really talked to me in the comments. Anyway, if any of you see this and have spare time to offer any suggestions, I'd appreciate some comments here too.

I hope that Artstreet and Medibang Paint Pro's services continue to flourish!

There has to be a way to make a GIF with bigger resolution and a smaller file size but I still haven't found it yet. This is why most of the GIFs posted here are so small. :(

Notes:
WIP means Work in Progress

So I found myself having a lot of fun with doing collaborative/DTIYS/ARTStreet-specific drawings but then it's hard to find those and I'm also getting requests to do those. That being said:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please comment the links to your stuff here!
You can also comment to show interest and come back later with the link!
Indicate what it is though, if it's a collab, multi-collab, contest, dtiys/My Stye Your Style, or something else all together! If I don't understand how it works, please describe what to do, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can also comment links when I make recent posts but don't forget to comment here too!


About the GIF
This month, I drew SPYxFAMILY Yor based on my drawing from last year. I tried to make a more complicated animation but I gave up, simplified the action and finished it. It's a shame we can only upload up til 2MB on GIFs. Bigger version here https://twitter.com/novidenB/status/1348287056707870728 if you use twitter I'd appreciate like and retweet too.

Oh and I forgot, I should make another post of those that did my first DTYIS, hidden in my first batch of collabs from last year! But it's really late right now, in my time zone, so maybe tomorrow. If you want to do that DTYIS here's a link to it, it's at the very end. https://medibang.com/picture/102012140027345860000695133/

My favorite out of 2020's ARTstreet 6th anniversary entries, Cloud Alpaca! It had the most views too. I thought I had a chance to gain something with this, but in the end it didn't make it. Even so, it helped me explore different styles of drawing using ARTStreet's colorful array of characters. I ended up getting a few stickers underneath my profile here too. They are cute, almost unnecessary, but still cute.

This will be the last GIF post in a while. But, wait! There's also a secret bonus GIF for Medibanzo. You can only see it if you send me a message or comment here, if you can't message me yet. If you don't know how to ask, you can just copy the URL to this post, and I'll understand and send you a link to see the GIF.

Also, are there any active discord servers you'd recommend? I've been to Eskimo's and Rui's but I dont think they're active enough during my timezone. Oh wow, if you've read this far, thank you again!

I asked help to make the colors on the table blend better than the original did. Now the colors in this piece look cohesive.

Almost forgot to post a GIF because today was very calm for me. How about you, how was your day?

I appreciate seeing comments more than likes recently. Stickers are nice too. Though, I try to speak clear English for easy machine translation. "Display translation" is an underrated feature on this website. Let's break that language barrier.

It was when I was making the background for this that I had the idea to make GIFs out of the illustrations. In the end, I wasn't able to make GIFs out of all the ARTStreet entries. There are still a few more to come!

Here's the original: https://medibang.com/picture/yg2009041304440750000695133/

I've decided to share the GIF versions of my contest entries last year, one topic at a time! I hope you like them :) Hana was the first entry I drew.

I did the animation manually in medibang paint, using a group of layers and transforming them, bit by bit. Then, I exporting them one by one and adding them to the online gif service, ezgif. This was when I didn't know about AnimeEffects by Hidefuku and FFMPEG.
This marks the end of my technical rant. I wonder if anyone's interested in a visualized tutorial? I'll see what I can do if this gains some traction.

Hope you have a nice day!

I've been looking for an excuse to try out the Topic feature of ARTStreet and earlier today I found it. Posting a topic was the only mission left for me to finish this event. (https://medibang.com/page/about-achievement/) I'm also pleased to find out that you can upload up to 2MB of GIF in Topic posts! I recently learned how to use Hidefuku's Anime Effects program with FFMPEG to make my Medibang Paint Pro drawings come to life. ARTStreet artworks currently need to be JPEG or PNG or MDP to upload to the Gallery. I'm still waiting for GIFs to be allowed but for now having them allowed on the Profile Photo, Banner Photo and on Topic is good enough. I talked a lot!

I also hope to find more ARTstreet neighbors that I can talk to and collaborate with here too! I want to post tutorials and my workflow as well, but we'll see what my schedule will allow me to do. Looking forward to interactions from anyone who finds and this post! :D
