Art Critique & Offer

Hello, Milchik. I just want to say that you and your gf's art is flat-out AMAZING! Also, can you do some drawings of some of my own Splatoon OCs? They can be found here. But I will give you a list of which ones I'd like you to do "after" you share your thoughts on it on its talk page. You can just dm them to me on my Twitter here (I will credit you when I upload them) or just upload them here yourself and show them on my talk page (do what suits you). Take your time & stay fresh! Sincerely, P.J. GT(talk) 03:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for your opinion, I'm very glad you like the characters we made! Unfortunately though, both me and gf barely have time or energy to draw our own OCs because of our job being related to drawing as well, it eats most of our desire to draw more... :") And we still have to draw, like, 13 more characters for ourselves first (everything featured on my page was made in a span of two years or so). So currently we both are closed for any requests, so sorry for that. Stay safe and I wish you the best! Milchik (talk) 06:20, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh... Sorry to hear that. 🙄 But keep it up, and stay fresh! P.J. GT(talk) 12:19, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

I smell greed more than a squee-gee smells ink, lmao

Just wanted you to know that I appreciate you completing and making my edit on grass/fire/water better than it was before :) Happy Splatfesting! Xandpochondria 18:31, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you, I appreciate your kind words :) You Trivia point is very cool and totally worth mentioning so that's why I decided to improve it with the exact Pokemon list. Have a good time and stay safe! Milchik (talk) 18:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Wow!!!

Greetings from Japan! Holy carp, your art is amazing! As an aspiring artist, do you have any tips or anything? I'm just curious, since you're really good. My main question is; what art program do you use, and would you recommend it? Just curious. Have a nice Splatfest, friend! ArivakiVA 18:40, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello :з Thank you so so much, this means a lot to me and I'm really glad that you like my art! <3

I'm drawing on PC and I use Paint Tool SAI (it has two versions, and the second one is slightly improved, but the first one is still fine enough), this is like a simplified version of Photoshop and only focuses on drawing. Photoshop is amazing for drawing as well and it has WAY more options for editing your art but the program is really big and takes a while to learn, although I use it for editing the final result sometimes. I think it's worth mentioning that I also use a drawing tablet, like most of digital artists, but even if you only have a mouse, you can use stuff like vector tools to create smooth lines of different thickness. This is how I started back when I was 13! :D

As for the general tips, I can suggest you learning how to cover your weaknesses and improve your strong point, luckly there's plenty of tutoring content on the internet! Learn basic figure building, find artists that you like and try to imitate different details that you like from them, always use references when drawing less familiar stuff (it can be photos or, even better, other artists studies and sketches, as it's easier to learn when someone already simplified stuff for you). And eventually, if you practice what you learn, you'll get better every time you try to draw something for your own improvement :з

I hope it helps and thank you for asking! Milchik (talk) 18:54, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate the tips! Maybe one of these days I can show you one of my drawings. :) I'm more of a pencil and paper person, so thanks for naming the art program you use! ArivakiVA 21:28, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey there (again)! I have taken a step, and I might get Paint Tool SAI 2 soon! I really like your OCs' designs, so I'll try to draw one of them and send it to ya if I can! Again, thanks a lot for the art tips!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:30, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi! Nice to see you here again :> I'm curious to see your first steps in digital art! You can message me in Discord once you wanna show me anything if you want, you can find my contacts on my page here. Milchik (talk) 19:24, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay, super late update, but I didn't get the art program :,D (hopefully I can ask for it again soon though). Also, I took a look at your OCs again, so I'll probably draw Cracker and Fugas (if I get the program) since they're my favorites. Anyway, have a nice day! Hope you had a great holiday! Arivaki-Kun (banter) 18:33, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello!

Aww that's lame... If you use Windows, you can try starting from Paint.net, basically it's a much better version of MS Paint that supports layers, stilus pressure, has different brushes, etc., and afaik it's free to use! :D I hope you get a drawing software soon, I'm excited to see your digital drawing start :> And if you decide to draw any of my characters, thank you so much!! I plan to draw them too, I don't have that much time on drawing something for myself and I'm working on a big artwork with 8 characters on it so it takes longer than usual :"D I hope to finish it soon tho!

Good luck and stay safe, happy holidays! Milchik (talk) 07:01, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for being late! I don't use Windows at home, but I do have a computer that's not at my house that has Windows, so thanks for the other art program suggestion! When I draw your OCs I'll be sure to show you the drawings! Thanks again, and have a great day/night! Arivaki-Kun (banter) 19:38, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you

Hey there, this is Paradoxe-Nana. I wanted to say thank you, for fixing the trivia section in the Big Swig Roller page. After copying and pasting that sentence for like 5 times I got distracted and forgot to change Reef-Lux with the correct weapon name. Thanks! Have a nice day. Paradoxe-Nana (talk) 12:33, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello! No worries, it's totally understandable. I remember copy-pasting the same grammar mistake I overlooked, like, 20 times in a row :"D Have a good day and stay safe! Milchik (talk) 12:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy wiki-birthday!

Thanks for being on the wiki for 2 whole years! That's a long time! Jacobearth • chit-chat 19:18, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Happy wiki birthday, Milchik-san! Thanks for your contributions to the wiki! Arivaki-Kun (banter) 19:35, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Question about one of your OCs

I have a question to ask you about your OC Sawfy. "How would you picture her reaction to discovering what Grizzco was truly for and seeing Mr. Grizz's true form and scheme?" I'm really interested in what you come up with! Sincerely, P.J. GT(talk) 20:32, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Oh this is an interesting question, thank you for asking! :>

I never pictured Sawfy as a loyal Grizzco follower or something. If anything, she's patriotic for inkling society because of her grandpa being a Great Turf War veteran and raising her that way (just to be clear, I myself is against any racism, Sawfy portraits how some "patriots" in my country behave towards foreign people, and she changes to good after befriending Lynn, who's octoling). For her, Salmon Run is a job that she does well and receives enough money for. Sawfy's quite agressive by nature so she enjoys fighting Salmonids who are enemies to inklings, and she doesn't really care what Golden Eggs are for because she doesn't really know where they're going.

I think, if Sawfy figured out that Mr. Grizz uses Golden Eggs as a part of his plan of turning everything including her home into a fluffy mess, she'd be pissed. Perhaps, she'd try her best to spoil Mr. Grizz's plans, like convincing coworkers to protest or even fight back. Because now Grizz is an enemy.

Right now, when Mr. Grizz is defeated, we don't know what Golden Eggs are for, and tho it wasn't revealed yet, there's certainly something to do with Li'l Judd, and I'm really curious if it's for good or for bad. If Sawfy knew that Grizz is defeated and now someone else's in charge, I think she'd continue working at Grizzco because this is still a fun job, until she figures out that this is about something shady again.

It was really cool to think about, I hope you like the answer! Milchik (talk) 21:56, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

I didn't expect the simple idea of an employee strike, but it neat! I too, am against racism (We're all "one race" after all! 👍).

As for my Main Salmon Run OC; Vent, he too is dedicated to his job 24/7, seeing it as for a good cause and rarely plays Turf War, but only to aquire sponsorship money. at the end of my SRNW Chapter, I'd plan that he decides to snoop on/inspect a recent Golden Egg haul that was being prepared to be shipped to Alterna when he shouldn't have, and get knocked unconscious by a Fuzzy Octoling and taken with the Eggs, where he was brainwashed by Mr. Grizz with a special Fuzz Ball, leading him to patrol the Alterna Space Center aimlessly until fighting and being freed by Agent 3 and Smallfry in its Lift area.

As for him discovering Grizz's plan, he'd be very infuriated and want to get revenge for manipulating him. As he helps Agent 3 in the Rocket battle due to stowing away in Agent 3's backpack. After Grizz is dead, he takes over and reformats the company and joins the cities' worker unions. But as for Li'l Judd's supposed new involvement with Grizzco, I'd plan to make him the company's new Assistant Manager and run the new Inkopolis Plaza location. P.J. GT(talk) 03:04, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

This is an interesting story, thank you for sharing! I wonder if it's even possible to cure sanitized/fuzzed creatures, maybe we'll see it in future someday. Milchik (talk) 16:49, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello!

I just wanted to say hi and that you have super awesome OCs (and drawings of them). I like Venera, Lynn, and Anasasy best, but the others are all so cool too! I am excited to see what you do next! -Sapphy (talk) 06:07, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you so muuuch, I really appreciate your kind words! :з I'm glad that you like my and my gf's silly characters, this made my morning a little better hehe. I hope you have a good day too, stay safe! Milchik (talk) 09:24, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

About your "48" in the Horrorboros edit

Hi, I want to first thank you for adding all the valuable King Salmonids tips which I wholeheartedly agree with all of them. However, I wasn't sure how you arrived at the number "48" golden eggs (although I realized you said "on the bomb"), so I changed it to 69 "without hitting the bomb" (55000/800=68.75). Hope you don't mind.

My calculation: Each bomb has 2500 HP, but a golden egg only deals 800 damage, so it takes 4 eggs to destroy each bomb (I'm not sure if the excessive 700 damage A: hurts Horrorboros regardless, or B: is wasted. If it's case A then each cycle deals 3200+5000=8200 dmg; if case B then each cycle deals 2500+5000=7500 dmg). In case A, 55000/8200=6.707, so 7 cycles or 28 eggs are needed. In case B, 55000/7500=7.333, so 8 cycles or 32 eggs are needed. Either way I could not arrive at 48. Hadaasharpedo (talk) 21:31, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for correcting me :) Milchik (talk) 06:26, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Sankichi Sketch

Hello! I've noticed you are using File:Sankichi Hinodeya Skull Sketch.jpg in one of your userboxen. We are going through these types of files to remove them, as Sankichi has requested people to not upload her personal art on external sites, as shown here. Could you replace the image with another one so we can clear them from the wiki? Thank you! 🦑InkBerry🍓Talk 21:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Oh sure, thank you for notifying me! Milchik (talk) 22:52, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

About your images

I know you used to have a whole bunch of images of your fan-characters; have you figured out what you're going to do with all of them? Lapsem (talk) 01:01, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I have them all saved on my PC so they won't go to waste, and I'm thinking to just upload them to some imageboard and link them on my sub page (and I even have some new to add). Thanks for the expressed interest btw! Milchik (talk) 01:07, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

About sub-pages

Hi there. I'm pretty new to editing in inkipedia, and there are many things that I do not know. I would like to ask how to create a sub-page as it is something I'm not quite sure how to make. Thanks! TankyBoi3 (talk) 15:32, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

I found out how to make a sandbox on my own. So I'd like to ask for tips on how to make the sandbox rather good looking. Thanks again! TankyBoi3 (talk) 15:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi! What I personally did when I designed my user page and sandbox - looked through many various pages and userpages in search of what I thought would suit my one, like various templates, icons, userboxes and such, and tried to imitate their code. That's basically how I learned how to edit the wiki and my pages! :> I hope that helps. Milchik (talk) 16:42, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, this information really does help. TankyBoi3 (talk) 05:04, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi again, while I was looking around I saw something that I'd like to use but don't know how: weapon icons. There are some on your page and I was wondering how to add them to mine. Could you help me with that? Thanks in advance. TankyBoi3 (talk) 12:23, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi again! Sure :>

Depending on what you want, you can either use a weapon template or just a very small image file:

• Flingza Roller
• 

Weapon template automatically uses an icon of a weapon from a certain game together with its name and link to this weapon, while using any image files (in that case, I used the badge image from S3) doesn't give you anything but an image.

• Weapon template looks like this: {{Weapon|S1/S2/S3|Main/Sub/Special|Weapon name}}. For example, using {{Weapon|S2|Sub|Burst Bomb}} will give you Burst Bomb
• And file template looks like [[The exact file name|size in pixels]] (you only need to specify the size if you want to make the image smaller or bigger than the original size). For example, using [[File:S3_Badge_Booyah_Bomb_180.png|40x40px]] will give you

I hope that helps! Milchik (talk) 13:03, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! It really helps!! TankyBoi3 (talk) 13:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Any Main Piercing abilities

Outside of Infiltrator from UNITE's Chandlure or Main Piercing Side Order, are there others? Pierce Ng (talk) 14:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, in many other games, to the point that I don't really know which one to pitpoint exactly. Like, this is a very common ability in, for example, shooters, tower defences, MOBAs (which Unite is), RPGs, other genres where someone has to shoot something. From the top of my head, I can remember HoM&M games, where many characters throughout different games have projectiles that go through several or countless ammount of units (think of mage from the 5th game as a random example). Or, as silly as it sounds, the Plants vs. Zombies games, both the classic ones or the Garden Warfare shooter ones lol. Just a silly one I managed to remember. This mechanic isn't something that Pokemon Unite invented, it goes way back and I'm sure even the older games have it in one form or another. Just type something like "pierce shot ability" in Google and it'll give you many examples. Milchik (talk) 19:34, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

I mean the ones it stack penetrate damage like Main Piercing chip Pierce Ng (talk) 23:05, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

The fact that some of these kinds of abilities can stack still isn't really enough to call it a reference to a specific game. Milchik (talk) 10:24, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
