LadyMeda Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Hello all you wonderful artists! I am giddy with excitement for the upcoming DST expansion. In celebration of being able to not starve with my boyfriend soon, I'm painting a plate set for our new apartment! I've got Wickerbottom, Wolfgang and Wendy done so far. Here comes the advice bit. Wx-78 is one of my favorite characters, and I really want to give him a plate. But his artwork is SO drastically different that it just won't look like it belongs in the set. I'm not sure what to do to tweak his artwork so it fits with the rest of them. Give him a name banner? I dunno. Do any of you talented artists have any ideas? I can copy things alright, but can't draw worth a darn.

Battal Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I can just see the infomercial - "Don't Starve Plates!

LadyMeda Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks @JanH ! The first one took a while... maybe 8 hours of painting total. Now I've got it down to about 4 hours per plate. It seems like a really long time, but with underglaze (the special ceramics paint), you have to do three coats of every color. So basically you have to paint the whole thing 3 times.

Malan-Tai Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 First of all, ......... AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRHGGHG THIS IS AWESOME I WANT 'EM ALLLLLLLL !!!!! Ahem.... For Wx, you could either draw him in-game, or search on Google for fanart that will fit with the rest of your set.

LadyMeda Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Gee golly, I got so swept up in other stuff, I forgot I never posted Wilson! Also, I don't understand why the pictures are so huge. Can I make them smaller in the posts somehow?For Wx, you could either draw him in-game, or search on Google for fanart that will fit with the rest of your set.Thanks for the suggestion! I took your advice and am trying to kinda modify the in-game pics. Hopefully it turns out OK. 5 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/40576-dont-starve-plates-any-advice/#findComment-542873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyMeda Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I need those plates!!!!!I have spoons w/ faces on them and... EVERYTHING WILL HAVE FACES!*Here Wolfgang mind holding my lunch for a while* Awwww. Not too long ago I painted this Alice/Malice in Wonderland soup cup with spoon. It was pretty cool, had the same sketchy style as Don't Starve, and the spoon had this twisted Cheshire Cat's grin on it. My roommate left the spoon down the garbage disposal and turned it on. A sad day. I think I have a picture of the cup and spoon. I'm not bitter! No, not at all! Sorry for the terrible pic, but *sob* I can't take new pictures of it!

spencer320 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 That cup is awesome. Your an incredible artist but I have to ask (sorry, this may be painful). Why was that spoon even near the sink?

Honestly I paint a lot of stuff and needed dishes (because my former roommates liked to break stuff and not wash anything). A girl's gotta have SOMETHING to eat out of. This one I DID keep under lock and key though. Spoiler: it isn't from don't starve, so if that offends you, don't look. Any Doctor Who fans out there?
