This is my fav version *giggle*, but you can hardly tell that he is wet at all. I still love and adore him though *giggle* *huggle*

hm... yea, I should make the wetness darker... thanks for telling me.

no problem *nuzzle huggle*

Hey, this isn't bad, keep up the goodstuff!

Thanks! : 3

Sure, and by the way, if you want to increase the quality of your work, you need to work with a larger canvas.


I see that at the moment, this is 550x650, I would recommend starting off with a canvas that's 1500x1500 pixels, maybe more.

It will vastly increase the quality, because at the moment, seeing pixels on the image lowers the quality of it overall by just that much.

Hm... I'll work with a bigger resolution from now on.

Cool. And, if I may ask, what art program are you using?

Be aware that FA will resample anything that is larger than 1280 on the longest side, down to 1280 pixels. At the same time, it will also be converted to a medium quality jpeg, often ruining the quality.

If you work with anything larger than 1280x1280, you should resample it down to 1280x1280 prior to uploading here. That way, you retain control of the quality and format. A png file remains a png, and a jpeg doesn't go through an extra recompression, as long as it stays under the 1280x1280 size limit.

For these reasons, you might want to just use 1280x1280 from the start. There are ways to bypass FA's size limit, and post nearly any size, but going over by too much starts to cause other problems for some people. If FA has to resample an oversize image, as it does by default, it will look much worse than if you started at 1280x1280 to begin with. FA resamples, even when a picture goes over by one single pixel on the longest side, such as 1281x960. This is all just stuff to be aware of if you want to retain the quality of your work when uploading here.

[Actually, you can submit bigger images without them being resized or losing quality.]

That's why I mentioned that there are ways around the limits. Many users don't know that is possible, and they end up losing quality without knowing why. There is also a 10 meg individual filesize limit, that users cannot bypass. Some users who upload high quality mp3 files run into that one.

Hm... none of the images I submit are that big, soooooo... I won't have trouble with that.

Anyway, if some image turns out to be too big for fA, even for the 10 mb limit, well... I'll just make a smaller version for fA, but I'll keep the original version, and maybe send it to friends privately, or post them in other places... meh.

I do the same with really large images. I keep the original in a safe place, and I make smaller optimized versions for FA and other sites as needed.
