These are the sizes for 100DPI, the bare minimum (and industry standard) for decent printing should be 300. Not entirely sure what OP was thinking but here is the above sizes at 300DPI:

My first shot at creating a sort of tutorial/guide, telling how I do things. On this initial chapter we’re going over the handy matter of Hands.
Not meaning to be an encyclopedic explanation, only showing my own methods and self-taught clues. Hoping somebody finds it useful! :3 I’ll do more if this one is received well. So let me know~
My thanks also to the supporters in my Patreon campaign, who helped me decide which themes to focus on for a start. And are actually allowing this to happen. :D Cheers!
Foam to foam: Hot Glue (or your favorite method…this is my preferred)
Others have used contact cement to hold the foam to the vinyl backing but because contact cement smells like death to me, I prefer the contact spray adhesive instead.
Really love using this method as it’s fast, easy, and light. Luckily, my armor did not have any complex curves because if it did, I would have used Worbla instead.
Start off with a crappy scanned/phone taken picture like so
Mess around with the SAI Filters, I usually go color deepen all the way to the left then mess with brightness and contrast until I find a good balance I like, then to top it off with a copied layer on multiply to make the lines darker
Click what I boxed off and the magic has already happened you now are left with a clean lineart layer that you can color underneath to your liking : 0 Hell you can even color your lines however you want as well for a colored lineart
ok i wasn’t going to reblog this first but honestly this is such a life/time saver. you can get a neat lineart in minutes instead of using a hour (or more) on ‘copying’ the lineart digitally. share this as much as you can. especially since it’s on sai which is what most aspiring artists on this site use…
it indeed is western/european centric, I’m sorry for that, but for other cultures I simply don’t have so many references
ALSO note that most of the pictures show historical clothing from the upper classes or more festive clothing of the lower/working class because normal working clothes wouldn’t survive for such a long time, and the clothes were often re-used over and over again!
writers of the world: please stop using epithets in your writing, trust me “the blonde army doctor”, “the curly haired detective”, “the blue-eyed man” etc. do not sound as good in writing as they may sound in your head
instead, use the characters’ names, they’re there for a reason and it’ll make your writing much more crisp, tight, to the point, and still entertaining
Names, along with common words like “said” and “asked”, become invisible. The more invisible your words, the deeper your reader will fall into your writing, to the point where the reader will forget that there are words at all and just become part of the story.
When your words aren’t invisible, there’s the unfortunate potential that people will turn them into a drinking game instead of reading the story.
Just about the only time that epithets work instead of using a name is when the POV character doesn’t know the other character, and so the physical description is pretty much all the POV character has to go on. You don’t think of people you know as “the tall man” or “the blonde woman”. Your POV character shouldn’t, either.
Yo I actually wanted to make this post a while back and I think a lot of this stems from when you have two characters who use the same pronouns interacting (which happens in fanfic). There’s this fear that the reader will confuse who the characters are referring to, so that’s why epithets are used. Instead of using epithets, use syntax, which is word order, and carry your subject through multiple sentences and actions. So, Imma teach you how to do this under the cut. (It’s a bit of a grammar lesson tbh)
By default, Microsoft gets to see your location, keystrokes and
browser history – and listen to your microphone, and some of that stuff
is shared with “trusted [by Microsoft, not by you] partners.”
You can turn this all off, of course, by digging through screen after
screen of “privacy” dashboards, navigating the welter of tickboxes that
serve the same purposes as all those clean, ration-seeming lines on the
craps table: to complexify the proposition so you can’t figure out if
the odds are in your favor.
Oh, and if you’ve already chosen to use Firefox as your default browser, Microsoft overrides your decision
when you “upgrade” and switches you to the latest incarnation of the
immortal undead monster formerly known as Internet Explorer.
For fucks sake, Microsoft. You’re not supposed to be a fucking spyware vendor.
Please spread this around so our friends using Windows 10 (or thinking about using it) will be aware.
This is ridiculous scaremongering. Microsoft isn’t out to steal your credit card information, or .. whatever it is you all are afraid of. Honestly, it’s funny when you kids make fun of adults for being frightened of modern technology, but then you turn around and make silly posts like this.
Look, if you’re really worried about it, you can disable most of this stuffwhile setting up Windows 10, but you know, don’t just go crazy clicking next, next, next. Read everything on the screen, and choose custom over recommended settings whenever you get the opportunity. It’s all there; or most of it, anyway. For example, I had the opportunity to disable various privacy related features, and I was given the choice to replace my default browser with Edge (Microsoft’s new web browser), or leave it be.
If you’ve already installed Windows 10 and you’re concerned about what information is shared or accessible by different apps, it’s honestly so easy to verify and disable. Here, I’ll guide you:
Click Start and then Settings
The Settings app will pop up. Click on Privacy.
And looky here! Very simple display with everything simplified to on/off switches.
Neither hidden nor confusing, my goodness!
On the left are different categories. Most categories allow you to choose which apps are allowed to access what the category details, e.g. under Microphone, you can choose which apps can access the microphone, if any.
Understand that this means allowing certain apps the ability to use your microphone. This doesn’t translate to Microsoft listening in on your everyday activities; it means literally allowing certain apps the ability to utilize the microphone when you want them to. If you’re worried about the potential intricacies, the privacy statement is linked right below the master on/off switch.
Now cut it out with the needless scaremongering of new things you don’t understand, and learn how your new software works.
You bet your ass I will continue to update this. If you’ve got something I should add to this hmu. Now, go forth! Make characters and live yo life. UPDATE: Added more shit everywhere.
