So I made a, hopefully improved, chest for the Indie-mate Dawn and a generic jacket that should be colour matched to the X3 Jean. Working through and updating more old decals - this was (hopefully) colour matched to the X3 Jean Grey. Changed the undershirt to black vs the original grey, and adding stitching. Not sure it was a upgrade in the end... Quote

I accidentally deleted a whole drive of files a couple of years ago. I found an undelete/data recovery tool and was able to recover about 80% of my files. If you're going to do this, stop using the computer. It overwrites the data of deleted files as you use it, making the recovery problem worse as you go. Don't use the drive again until you've run recovery on it. That will get you the most files back. Hopefully it's not physically damaged and you find this helpful. Quote

Liney Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) Thankfully I had everything backed up between my old laptop, phone and external drives, so with many cables, restores and swearing I'm only missing about the last years worth of stuff! 🥰 To celebrate, here's some abs for Princess Anck es en Amon - as I thought her chest block looked too flat and square Edited January 20 by Liney Quote

THE_CRIPPLER Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Liney, do you use a paintbrush stroke for your designs? I have been using the pen or pencil tool in Adobe Illustrator when making my decals and they always come off thin and flat looking. I tried switching to paintbrush, but the strokes were way too big and I could not find a way to make them small enough. I will have to look into a tutorial on how to make them smaller (if possible).

I use photoshop - as I already had it, and don't want to learn/pay for illustrator as well! 😅 I do the majority with the pen tool to draw shapes, as they can be edited if needed, as opposed to one and done with the brush tool. This means for lines with irregular width you have to draw it as a shape, rather than a single line. Hopefully that makes sense? Quote

Liney Posted January 14 Posted January 14 More decal updating - in case you can't wait for Luke's robot customs! I'll delete the older versions (as I'm on 1000% on file attachments) Sharpened up my beloved Jocasta (designed at 300 px per cm) - though annoyingly I've misplaced her hairpiece 😢 Arms Face Hip - front and back Chest Back Garter Boots Quote

Liney Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) I don't think I ever posted the original - but here's my updated Meggan. I thought she could use a bit more shape. Hopefully the colours match, and the black band should line up with the one on her arms 🤞 Edited February 5 by Liney Quote

Any chance you could do a version without the rivets, make the eyes white? Would make a perfect, easy EDI custom for Mass Effect Minimates... Quote

Oops - yep, these are for clear paper, as I don't know of any all grey mates, or how to print silver. I tweaked the face for you - no idea if it needs a skin tones added? Quote
