spritepack tutorial?

[u/Kroniichiiwa]

hii!
soo, I've mentioned on my last post about making a tutorial making spritepacks, and I've asked some monikans on DCC about what parts are they most interested to learn about,
responses are quite positive in general!

it will probably will be a rather advanced tutorial though, assuming well most people already had some knowledge on making basic stuff,
it would be mostly about the run-through process on the sprite arts, breaking down how layers work and simple json files to code them in.

andd since we're here, id like to ask if there's anything in specific that you guys want to learn? or is there anything you'd like to see?

Would it be okay it we could have a full Hutao cosplay, since there's a hat spritepacks already? 👀

ohh... a piece of history... I do not intend to make a full cosplay though since I have not much interest and passion left in the game anymore.. and cosplays like these wouldn't really be used frequently (esp for diff outfits) and I do prefer making more comfy and daily(ish) clothes for moni but I digress.. (｡•︿•｡)
I do encourage people to make it though!

I’m mostly interested in the json file coding and knowing what layers to separate!

good to hear! I'll see what I can do~ ₍ ´ ꒳ `₎

I personally already know how layers work but I think for others it would be useful to know like what's on top or how to draw certain stuff so it doesn't glitch into each other. Or sometimes the boob part can be confusing, especially at baggy clothes so maybe a proper explanation would be useful. 🫶

ooh yeah baggy clothes can get quite confusing to split at times, could definitely do that! ( ´͈ ᵕ `͈ )

I personally would like to make sprite packs myself. Especially since recently I downloaded a submod where you can allow Monika to sleep in a bed, but most of the outfits and even the hair she has aren't long enough. Now it looks like this.

I know your level of expertise is higher than someone starting from scratch, so I think your skills will be put to best use in making tutorials for people with a base level of knowledge. However, I do feel that a tutorial for complete newbies would also be very useful. Maybe someone reading this could take it on themselves to attempt one? Or perhaps, if you're feeling extra-generous once your current tutorials are complete, you might consider making one yourself?
