Re: Wild Knuffel Info
Posted: Mar 8th, '12, 04:50
/rolls in. I've been thinking about making a Knuffel, but I'm too busy studying for tests to actually start anything. 8D
Oh, Gimp. I've been using the program for a couple of years now, but I honestly never do anything digitally so I'm still not that familiar with it. However, what I know about doing "smooth" lines on Gimp is using the Path tool. It's pretty tedious, imo, but the lines come out a lot smoother than trying to manually draw them yourself with a mouse (not sure about a tablet since I don't own one).
Some lineart tutorials on Gimp if you haven't already come across them yet:

Really cute. * u * I don't have much to add since others have already said most of my suggestions; I agree that maybe the shoes could be changed to boots, or socks could be added or maybe even leggings/tights/pantyhose. Just some more in the lower half of the Knuffel.
I also think that maybe more could be changed with the hair? From stages 3-5, there's only one change in the hairstyle and it's not too obvious. I think maybe another hair accessory should be added, too, perhaps hairclips? And, add even more flowers -- ?! /shot. (Actually, maybe if more flowers are added, they could be of a different colour.) I think it'd look nice with some earrings too. The earrings could be added in the fourth stage and get ~fancier~ in the final.
I really like the background stuff you added. o: Since she's accessorized with flowers, maybe there could be flowers on the ground around her as well?
