Description Theme #21: Melody for SupernovaNinja's 50 Themes Challenge Β for the FE Theme Challenge with .

This took me two months and at least 10 redos of Azura's skin. Also actual nightmares of redoing her skin. Fun stuff.

Also, Butts, this picture may be your worst nightmare because SAI told me it had at least 111 layers before I merged most of it for touch-up on Photoshop. HAHAHA.

In FE Fates, I was like... WHY CAN'T I BE AZURA?! WHYYYYYYYYYY
I mean, you can marry her (as a male Corrin) but I wanted to BE her. Femme Corrin is alright... but I like Azura's palette and background and design better.. huhuhu!Β 

btw, Tofuuuuu-chan... have you played Concubine Wars in FE Fates???? XD hahaha, sorry for the many questions..

P.S. 100+ layers?! And here I thought I was the only one who could reach that number. High-five!

TOFUProductionz In reply to ReGaSLZR [2017-09-19 02:14:21 +0000 UTC]

HAHAHAHA. SAME. I fell in love with her design the second I saw her! It's a shame that she got shafted so hard in the story.

I've heard about it, but I never figured out if it was a fanmade thing, or if it's official. By the time I finished all three storylines of Fates, I completely forgot about it and never looked into it.Β 

HAHAHAHA YES HIGH FIVE!Β

So true.. huhu. And I cried so much when she died in the ending of Birthright. Nuuuuuu!

You completed all three storylines of FE Fates??? Whoa, you're hardcore! I haven't gotten to Revelation yet as I don't have the time and the copy but I'm so hyped about it!

Uguuuu It's actually a fanmade thing. I really thought it was an official side story since the graphics looked legit as heck. But ei, Camilla's got a solid character in that story; and so are the others (like Azura).

-Muffled strangling noises trying to hold back from Conquests/Revelations spoilers- Her death scene was really well animated! And when she went, "Smile for me..." why you gotta do this to us, Intsys??

Yup! My friend and I had this plan where we both buy a different game and then swap once we finished, haha! She got Birthright and I got Conquest. She ended up buying Revelations because she wanted to know the "canon" route, so I played it off her 3DS after she was done. I don't want to ruin your expectations for the game, so I shall keep quiet for now.

Aww man. I think I saw the graphics too, and they looked amazingly official for fan-made material! I'm not a huge fan of Camilla, but maybe I'll give it a go for Azura, hehe.Β

Ahhh, thank you so much!!!!!

Haha, the water effect is actually very easy! Just shade in the water with a gradient and then using an soft eraser brush, lower the opacity and erase some spots so the stuff under the water can show through!

It looks gorgeous! Well done!
And what were you doing with over 100 layers?! I usually have no more than 10, one for the character lineart, one for the background lineart, and like 4 others for the colors XD

TOFUProductionz In reply to DemonicCriminal [2017-01-02 03:48:54 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thanks man!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING TO BE HONEST. IT JUST SORT OF....HAPPENED? THE WORST PART WAS, I EVEN MERGED SOME, BUT IT STILL CAME OUT TO THAT MUCH.

THAT IS MUCH MORE MANAGEABLE THAN THE MESS I MADE WITH MINE, BUT I GET REALLY NERVOUS WITH BACKGROUNDS SO I GET LIKE 10 LAYERS FOR THE BACKGROUND ITSELF. Thankfully for this one, I finished the background on a separate canvas (mainly because if I didn't, SAI would've crashed) so it was one layer in this case. BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER STUFF.

DemonicCriminal In reply to TOFUProductionz [2017-01-06 21:42:37 +0000 UTC]

WOW that sounds like an adventure! I think photoshop warns you if your RAM cant take it and cancels the action (apparently working on a 15.000x15.000 pixel canvas is not a good idea and i learnt it the hard way )

TOFUProductionz In reply to DemonicCriminal [2017-01-28 06:15:38 +0000 UTC]

WHY WERE YOU WORKING ON SUCH A BIG CANVAS??? OH MY GOD, MY COMPUTER PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN LOAD THE BLANK CANVAS AT THAT SIZE.

I've never worked on such a big file on Photoshop that it needed to warn me before HAHA. I wish SAI did the same. But thankfully, they have a memory load counter thing at the bottom corner that tells you how much memory is being used.

This is some amazing painting son. A gorgeous backdrop and color choice combined with subtle colored lineart (which I am very envious of.) The water effects are also very pretty and well-thought. I cringe at the thought of your 111 layers though... that poor computer of yours managed to pull through. As mind-draining as this probably was, please keep this up~

I'm so sad I had to hide that lineart. It looked so good from far away.

I was praying to every god in existence that my computer would make it out of this journey safely and I'm so glad my prayers worked. ONLY 47 MORE TO GO WHEEEEEEEEEE

AREN'T YOU AMAZED THIS RESPONSE IS JUST AS POLITE?

I have to admit I am also quite sad to see that beautiful lineart that took slaving effort get hidden... can't deny the end result is still gorgeous though. Your computer deserves some compliments once in a while ya know?

I fought the urge to ruin our polite response just for this trail of comment

I think the lineart thing disappearing is going to be a consistent thing throughout the rest of this challenge. SOBS

Maybe my computer will deserve its compliments WHEN IT GETS ITS SHIT TOGETHER LIKE ITS OWNER.

Oh, look at that, I ruined the politeness.Β ( Ν‘Β° ΝœΚ– Ν‘Β°)

YOU GUYS ARE NOT THE SAME SPECIES OF ME

SOME OF US LIKE TO GO TO THE BEACH INSTEAD OF MERGE LAYERS

Stephanie coincidentally showed me a song from a video game, and in the video game, I saw this water bending pretty blue-haired girl, and I am like, "The water effects are so magical!"Β 

Really like how smooth and serene/detailed the water is! AND THAT BACKGROUND

Do not know much about this game. IS SHE KILLING HER WITH LOVE AND H2O?

SERIOUSLY HOW DO YOU WORK ON ONE LAYER THOUGH BECAUSE I GET SCARED I'LL MESS UP WHAT I HAVE SO I END UP DUPLICATING THE LAYER AND WORKING ON THE NEW ONE AND FORGETTING ABOUT THE ORIGINAL ONE WHERE I HAVE A SKETCH OR SOMETHING SAVED AND IT JUST ADDS TO MY LAYERS.

I'M AMAZED.

Yes, I saw on the Discord chat. Like what you see? Props to the animation team too, I personally know how hard it is to animate water in 3D LOLL

I AM VERY PROUD OF THIS PICTURE. EVEN THOUGH MY HAND STILL HASN'T RECOVERED. IT CRAMPS UP JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.

SPOILERS BELOW
They are actually cousins! But you don't know that until you play the third path. But if you play as the male character, you can marry her, 'cause y'know. Incest. I still need to do that. But actually, she's performing an exorcism! That's what the song + her necklace does, in both of the dances. There's even a cutscene where you go berserk at one point and she tries to calm you down with the song, but you end up kicking her IN THE FACE. Poor girl.
