Description I hope this makes sense for those who played Bh.. XD if not, sorry.
Those minstrels have gotten less annoying then the previous game though.

Recently I'm asked of how I draw the lines so finely. The key is to draw on a huge canvas and make it small after you are finished with the drawing c:

Does it take too much memory? (drawing in a big canvas)

Lol love it~!
And yes the Minstrels are less annoying in this game... but for some reason they always bothered me when I was on an important mission and following someone... I mean seriously... I was very close to being detected because of them :/

TLEEART In reply to ??? [2010-12-21 11:39:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I would say the minstrels are better than the beggars. I can punch the minstrels and civilians won't call the guards over it. I've gotten in the habit of punching any minstrel I come across, as long as I'm not on a mission.

11Sharn11 [2010-12-21 11:22:56 +0000 UTC]

OH GOD THOSE BLOODY MINSTRALS.
Against all logical will and reason, I got so fed up with one that I wound up killing him. D:

ANYWAY THIS IS A FANTASTIC ENDING TO A HIGHLY AC-CENTRIC DAY.
Seriously.
I got up, played AC, then organised some other fanart, then got on a bus to go to the city that had an ad for AC stamped on the side, then watched the literal trailer ([link] ) when I was in the city, then get home and BAM here this is on DA.

tl;dr: You made my day. 8D

Minstrels are so much better than the beggars- kept frigging up my stealth missions in the first game.

At least there's a nice way to get rid of them other than punching or stabbing them like I usually/ used to do.
I feel bad when I read "Ezio did not kill civilians."

It is nice to be able to walk around rome and not be swarmed by minstrels as often.
Minstrels are why I hate Venice. Why I hate Venice so so much. Dx

The bards aren't too horrible in Brotherhood, thank the lord.

But hey! That's a pleasant surprise, I've always wondered how you did that too. But I've been trying it and it hasn't been giving me the results I want, For example, let's say I make the photoshop canvas... 10 inches. Is that "huge" enough? xD And then I use a 5 size brush for that.

Horus-Goddess In reply to bean93 [2010-12-21 15:00:56 +0000 UTC]

You need to make sure that your resolution for the picture is also around at least 300dpi, then it should give you the detail you want. I use a similar technique in my digital art as doubleleaf, so I'm pretty certain she does the same type of thing.

bean93 In reply to Horus-Goddess [2010-12-21 21:40:22 +0000 UTC]

Ooooooh I see. And after you are done drawing, you'd just zoom out and crop the canvas aroudn your drawing?

And you wouldn't change the dpi right?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Horus-Goddess In reply to bean93 [2010-12-22 16:36:07 +0000 UTC]

Depends on what you wanted to do. I personally keep the dpi, and just size down the canvas (don't crop it, it would still be far too big). If you have Photoshop or a similar program you should be able to do this just fine.
