  • Thank you so much! I actually had a couple different attempts until I found something that worked well and fit the style of the rest.

    It ended up less labor intensive than some previous attempts would’ve been, but still was a whole lotta work, so you might still want to try different approaches!

    I basically made rough color sploches first, staying in darker shades. Then I used a basic round brush with the taper set to quicky reduce brush size with less pen pressure, that’s how I get that leaf shape with quick short brush strokes. Then I just layered them from back to front, getting lighter in color.

    Sorry it’s a bit hard to describe in writing, I hope it makes any sense at all…


  • Thank you!!

    Yeah I pretty much agree with you. I love love love the setting and vibes, but it seems hard to really make much progress on anything, but easy to get punished in a way that gets frustrating.

    Though, we haven’t played for long yet, so I want to wait a bit longer and think the mechanics through before a final judgement. And maybe there’s ways to work it out or learn to work with the kinks it has. But it’s good to know it’s not just me who feels the mechanics to be a bit wonky!
