They're actually working on 2 shows at once right now so don't expect miracles, things could well be worse.

Love the art style of Part 4. It looks "lighthearted" and that fits a lot of Part 4 to a tee.

My fan theory is that Kira is modeled for this



smug little guy, both in general color choice and the fact he keeps pulling bullshit moves out of nowhere when he gets cornered. He also talks about how lucky he is all the time, especially near the end of Unbreakable Crazy D. Also he team up with a cat.

Araki, please confirm/deny.

edit: If so, Araki thought it through.

It's great cuz it seems like Akira's gonna be a much bigger deal than he ends up being.

I really want to get to that part soon because of the panel that is extremely me:

given how much detail they've put into following the manga so far, i don't doubt that any 'iconic' moments may even have a shift in art to more accurately portray what's going on even if it's for a few seconds or whatever. i like the key art shown so far if nothing else. it's more light-hearted in a way, which fits the arc.

I'd say sorry but, but I'm not 'cos it's enjoyable.
They're really good, particularly as you're just getting started.

These are the tips I'd give to people doing it who want to keep doing so based, on what I've done in the past. Though I can only say they'll work in Photoshop CS5/6 because that's all I know how to use.

Also note that I'm also a total amateur (with a perfectionist mindset which probably doesn't help) and there's probably an art subforum on here that could probably sleep talk better advice than I could ever give. Everything I'm telling you could be a total no-no and a crime to anyone remotely pro.

- If you're looking to colour in "official" colours, sample them from the eye dropper on "official" art and save them in your swatches.

- Opacity is absolutely great. Colour your base in 100% opacity, but for shadowing, choose a darker version of the same colour (you'll get an eye for it) and you can do two different things. Change your brush opacity down and layer the paint to make it darker in some places or change the layer opacity on a 100% opacity brush to make it uniform. Changing the opacity on the darker colour makes it look like the original shade darkened by shadow.

This coupled on the eraser tool can make harsh edges bleed less.

- You can't have too many layers. On my latest piece, this is the layer window. (http://i.imgur.com/kZCCvgq.png). Note the size of the slider. There's probably only 2 or 3 I could safely remove.
The important thing about using layers is that you get leeway with mistakes. If you colour it all on one layer, you can't use the eraser if you go over the lines. Put your clothes layer above your skin layer though and you can colour over the lines of the clothes slightly and hide the mistake because the clothing colour goes over. If you go over the clothes onto skin, you can use the eraser on the clothing layer to erase the bleed without getting rid of the skin. You just have to keep the multiplied copy of the original on top and the the original on bottom.

- Skin is just difficult. I suck at it but to make it look less flat, you have to blend various tones into it because if you look at your own skin as reference and you can see that it's probably millions of little variations. There's a couple of ways I know of to give it some depth. Using a blending tool to mix dark and light versions of the same skin shade into it. Gradients, particularly to transparency are also really useful. I haven't got the hang of it yet, but it can make things look really good. I think being able to make good looking skin is probably the difference between someone who can't make money as even a hobby artist and one that just does it for fun.

- Take Araki's criss crossing or shading as freebies to shade. It's why he did it on the B+W after all, that alone gives some more depth. Josuke/Jotaro in SDC's drawn to have dark clothing, so you're always going to struggle to shade those a bit. "Multiply" layers make everything dark. Try it on an anime screen cap and you'll see. (Just use the eraser on the top layer to fix it for anime screens).

- Gradients aren't just good for skin. Take the sky on that Josuke picture. If you cut around the clouds and procedurally use a darker blue to light up top, it'd also give it some more depth. You could do it to the concrete similarly.

- Use reference photos or real life for lighting reference. If you know where the main light source is in the image, or where it could be, you could add highlights and darken appropriately.

- You don't have to like what you're working on, so long as you're doing it to practice something or get better at it. It's okay to think "maybe this isn't so good". I've got a couple of those in my folders that I could go back and work on to make better. It's not a failure to quit on one thing if it's not going how you want it to. It might actually be a sign of your improvement, that you've got yourself into a situation on it that you can't realistically fix and you've recognised it and how to not do that.

- You probably have to have an eye for complimentary and clashing colours. There's likely a bunch of indepth colour catalogues and do/do nots on the internet about colouring but I'd just say do what you want as long as it's just not awful to look at.

- It you want to go higher detail, it'll take a long time. I'm probably around 10 or 11 hours into my next one and the end's maybe getting into sight now.

- There's a million ways to do things and practice makes perfect. Like I say, I'm under no illusions that I'm not an amateur but I easily have a 30 hours of practice doing it and learned a lot about digitally painting things. In 30 more I might look back at everything I've done and delete them in embarrassment. I already think that I can improve my Kira a fair amount and it's one of my best pieces (probably).

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Please, what do you take me for, I know my way around CS6. :smuggo:

Seriously though, yeah, a lot of those tips are also pretty good for PhotoShop art in general. I can't even count how many times working on separate layers has saved my rear end from redoing like an hour of work. Also I'd like to add that it really helps to use the Magic Wand or Quick Select tool to section off bits of the art so that you're only coloring inside the shaded area. Doing that and then just using the paint bucket to fill an entire section saves time considerably. You don't really get any shading work with it, but hey, that's when you go in and play around with gradients or brushes.

Also, you caught me, I just sample colors straight from anime key art because I can't be bothered trying to work PhotoShop's color picker.

I don't think there's anything wrong with sample colours though to be fair. It's fun doing things in "stock" colours.

Looks like you're only really able to move in a straight line with the zipper dash and going underground is just a teleport now instead of you actually going underground.

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


The teleporting makes enough sense really. There are roof top stages and such after all, building some ground for you to move around in under the maps would add a bunch of un-needed geometry and stress on the hardware.

The zipper trap stun made Narancia just hover above it, which looked a bit naff.

It's a shame you can't draw big zipper dicks though by dashing around.

I believe the text of the UJ that reveals Joshuu says he's a trapper. SteelBallJack went over the issue on his YouTube but hasn't scanlated the pages yet to my knowledge.

He also says that the issue also says Gappy is a trapping character too.


e:
Wataru Hatano blogs about Part 4 anime.
http://yaraon-blog.com/archives/73631

He basically just says "I'm really happy that I could be Josuke for 3 years, look forward to the game in December" and the comments seem to be a bit mixed as well. Seems like Hatano as Josuke had fans over in Japan too.

Half of Vanilla Ice's dialogue in the game is loving Vanilla Ice quotes and not even cleverly done ones, just flat out things he has said. I think it's very clear that the localization team at Namco-Bandai on All-Star Battle were trying to have their cake and eat it with a lot of that poo poo.
