Okay, so I’ve started to notice while I’m browsing the old Base club that there’s a lot of small chop ups going on. Not many are being used as they’re being created and handed out, and those that are tend to be the simple fra-la ones than the 더 많이 exquisite and detailed. I’m slightly concerned those making the bases aren’t doing their research 또는 homework, so here’s just me giving small hints and details that might improve the work around here. And this is an opinion- so no thinking I’m blowing smoke up your arse. ^^
So… First ideas for a base…
1. If you’re making a Base, one of the most basic and simple idea to keep in mind is variety. 당신 don’t really want to put a base surrounding one species 또는 gender. Giving it different varieties and such are a good idea if 당신 want 더 많이 people to use. If it’s meant for one gender 또는 species, however, try giving different feature choices at the side 또는 styles the user can work with.
2. Never, EVER EV-AH make a base that’s basically all made up and given everything. Like…you claim it’s a base, but it looks like line art you’re suppose to color. Don’t want that- if 당신 want line art, go make 또는 find a club with line art. This is a BASE club- make people work a little here.
3. Do something no one else does! I haven’t seen, for example, many baby Mobian bases, 또는 human comparison to Mobian bases. If 당신 keep making things others are creating, you’ll only be judged at who has the best pose 또는 idea for the same topic. Be creative and think up bases that no one else has done yet 또는 ones that might be 더 많이 what people are looking for.
4. Be sure your base is easy to color. For me, I prefer using Bases that have been made with Paint 또는 simple GIMP. 당신 know simple pixels. If the user wants 더 많이 detail 또는 smoother lines and textures, let them use their own programs and let them work that end. For the most part, make a base that’s easy to color and simple to use.
5. Couple bases are nice for your fangs and tangs. Yuri, Yaoi, straight, machines and inanimate objects, whatever. People seem to like Couple bases above all else. So this is the case, try not to post a lot of sex cropped ones. I haven’t seen much as being innocent couple Bases, like sharing an ice cream 또는 something. Be creative and think of your own experience’s when it comes to romance if 당신 make couple bases. Not everything is wrapped around sex, 당신 know. A Yuri couple can be really kawaii if it’s the simplest expression, such as hugging 또는 pecking the cheek. The key is simplicity and expression the faces may have if 당신 give the variety.
And that’s basically it! Now, to make a base…
1. You can make a Base in numerous ways. The most common is to find a picture online, outline the basic image of it, then erase the details leaving only that outline. Though this is the quickest, cheapest way, it’s often frown upon when someone finally notices and realizes why the base looks familiar.
2. Making a base from scratch needs 더 많이 creativity, Looking up 사진 and drawing inspiration like 당신 would art is a nice way. But making it from scratch means 당신 can use a variety of programs, like Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop, Coral, Paint Pro, 또는 just regular old Paint. Either way, when 당신 make a base from scratch, be sure to make it large enough for use.
3. Another way to make a base is to sketch it traditionally then scan it. It’s not really easy for use, and therefore suggested only if 당신 have no other option. In that case, if 당신 can, sketch the base and after either taking a picture 또는 scanning the image, try to outline the image with Paint and erase around and inside it, leaving nothing but the lines needed. This way you’ve already done a step for someone who might’ve used your sketch base from its original roots.
The Don’ts of Bases….
1. DO NOT make a Base from someone else’s 팬 art 또는 art! Making one from your own is different- that’s your call. But if it’s someone else’s’, prepare for some serious torment. That is a number one peeve and thankfully I haven’t seen that here yet. But regardless, taking someone’s art and making a base out of it is disrespectful, even with their permission.
2. DO NOT make a base for one person and that person only. What if it’s a good idea and only that person gets to use it? In fact, that’s opening the doors for art theft. Don’t allow that to happen! Sharing is a benefit that can be granted to both sides 의해 sidestepping this mistake.
3. DO NOT make a base that goes against what 당신 believe 또는 support just for another’s approval. Popularity may seem important now, but later when it comes time to test for strength in these beliefs, 당신 may find 당신 can’t support them because you’re afraid of being looked down upon. 또는 당신 may end up looking like a two face. Though it’s good to be flexible and understand other people’s views and respect them- it’s not good for 당신 to go to extremes just because a certain group is lavished for being what they are and you’re shunned for what you’re not. Simply put, if you’re homophobic, don’t make gay bases. If 당신 hate certain scenes, don’t make sex related 또는 violence centered bases, if you’re against satanic 또는 other religious items don’t make those bases! Easy!
4. DO NOT create Bases that flame other people 또는 beliefs. If 당신 make a base with someone killing a lesbian, 또는 a Satanist shanking a Buddhist, 당신 better believe I’ll be one of those people bashing 당신 to death. Making a base meant for insulting another person is also frowned upon. Be mature and treat your talent with better respect than to smite unworthy foes. No hating bases!
I hope this helps those making basis! All example pics and bases here are © of their owners.
And as well, remember to put 당신 completed Bases in the proper catigories! If 당신 made a base for other's to use, it goes in photos. And those 당신 have used, it goes in fanart!"
