Sorry if this question is kind of vague but how do you choose a canvas size? The way people talk about canvas sizes in tutorials for pixel has always left me confused.
it basically depends on what you're trying to do. for my portraits i stay small around 100x100 - 150x150. the reason i do that is because i like the way i can stylize the features and keep everything else in proportion.
if you're doing an animated character you would probably want the canvas smaller (if its for a game). if i'm doing a full scene then usually somewhere around 200x200 - 300x300.
for my full landscapes i set my canvas at 1920x1080 in aseprite, then divide it by 5 (you can do maths in aseprite- pretty cool). that way my canvas blows up x5 to a desktop wallpaper size. that's my preference, you might prefer x3 or x6.
thats why knowing what you're doing makes it a bit easier. i would just ask yourself 'how much space do i need for my important features' and use that as a base- dont be afraid to just make the canvas bigger if you need to. i never stick to any standard canvas size or palette and just change things to get to my desired outcome
hope that helps :--3 !
edit: thinking about the question a bit more, it might be because people tend to recommend things like 32x32 or 64x64 or 128x128 and so on.
16x16 32x32 and 64x64 are generally quite standard for game stuff, i tend to do my tiles at 16x16 or 32x32. but if you arent working on a project they largely dont matter unless you want to practise such things. if youre interested in illustration like me (assuming you are cos youre in my inbox) it shouldnt matter to you really! just do whats comfy!

THIS IS AMAZING OH MY GOD
This is one of my artworks, here i have decided to depict substance abuse. Throughout the painting you can see many metaphors and a clash between realism and fantasy, for example at the bottom thereβs scenery of a βforestβ and mountains right under a face. i used the forest to symbolise feeling lost and as if everythingβs the same, through the mountains i used a contrast of one dark and one light to show negative and positive and between them the sun rising to symbolise surging another day through the bad and good.throughout the painting you will see many faces that are either melting or have more features than the average human has, this is to symbolise how when under the influence of substances you canβt see what real and what isnβt and it feels like you are slipping away and itβs getting harder to hold on. On the top you will see a palm with the milky way on it,this symbolises how the universe is at their palm but yet it feels like too much hence the tree above which is empty to symbolise the darkness and emptiness of feeling too much how youβve given your all and yet you have nothing left to give. You will see 2 βgold fishesβ with eyes, these symbolise how in the water you feel free especially with the zero gravity effect it has and it just lets you float however the eye shows however free they might feel they always feel like theyβre being watched and canβt feel as free as they are supposed to.On the bottom left thereβs a palm with a desperate face looking up towards one of the gold fishes, this symbolises the pity of other people watching you fall through a rabbit hole of a constant cycle where it feels impossible to escape and you know they are there and you want to stop but you canβt and it haunts you.Right in the middle you will see a huge sun looking circle, this is a sun, this symbolises the every day cycle of substance abuse and how every morning the same cycle begins. Iβve used realism and fantasy to show how you canβt tell reality from fantasy and how everything morphs into one big picture.
if you have gotten this far thank you and i hope you enjoyed reading it, i personally havenβt experienced substance abuse but i think this is what it feels like.
No ide bro
How do you make friends here bruh
does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
JEDI ORDER CITATIONS IN STAR WARS CANON, PART V [A Meta/Reference Guide on AO3] Welcome to my Jedi Culture and Teachings in Canon series, where I collate various quotes from current canon to provide a worldbuilding and reference guide, whether for better fic writing, just general interest in getting to know the Star Wars lore better, or if you want to be able to pull out some quotes when you're fighting the internet on behalf of the fictional space wizards. ;) So, what's here? Basically anything I think would be of interest to people who want to know what the Jedi are like in the canon--any worldbuilding bits (what special abilities do the Jedi have? do the Jedi have art? do they have funeral rites? what do we know about Knighting ceremonies? what are the themes of the Force? are the Jedi telepaths or empaths and what scenes in canon support that? what do we know about Jedi schooling?), any quotes from Lucas himself, all arranged in categories to help you find what you're looking for. Feel free to take this guide or leave it, it's not about telling other people what to do, if you scroll on by, that's fine, I'm not your mom, do what you want. But if you want to know what the Jedi have to say about Force bonds or what kind of clothing they way or everything we know about the main ziggurat of the Jedi Temple, I got you covered, babe. This section is admittedly overly large, where previously I would get to about 25k words of citations and post the next part, feeling that was a manageable chunk for readers. But with The Acolyte coming out, I made a challenge to myself to get caught up on all of The High Republic before it aired and I drop citations in as I'm reading, so suddenly I found myself with nearly 50k of citations and I was feeling in the groove, I had all my references easily accessible, I was getting through my backlog, I had access to some of the roleplaying guides, I was seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, and, wham, suddenly it's ~70k and here I am now. But that's 70k of examples of what the Jedi say and do, my best attempt to give context to show the consistent themes and parallels within the Jedi Order all across this continuity. How to use this guide? Well, you do you, for starters! But I hope you'll read the intros, as often some books need to be put in specific contexts, and if you have any suggestions for future categories or better organization, feel free to mention it! I do this for me, but I format it for sharing, so I'm game! Feel free to check out previous sections for more examples, and just scroll through to skim the bolded sections to try to find what you're looking for, since not everything always fits neatly into a single given category! (Or just ask me! I love being a nerd about Star Wars worldbuilding.) The guide is broken down into seven sections as before:
How the Force Works
Jedi Culture & Philosophy & Teachings
Jedi As a People
Psychic Space Wizards Doing Psychic Space Wizard Things
Jedi Temple (Living Quarters, Training Rooms, Meditation Gardens and Dining Halls !)
Jedi Outreach, Politics, and the Bigger Galaxy
Fantasy Flight Games Are Not Canon But Canon-Compliant Is Close Enough
Jedi, Buddhism, and Everything Else
Ooookay, another question
This is about makeup. I want to maybe order from Girlcult, but the only affiliate link on their instagram was a Shein link. I never ordered from there and didn't plan to, but does it work as a hosting site too? I know about most of the things going in the back so could somebody tell me if Girlcult is ethical?
