More general tidbits:
- Use the stamp tool to eyedrop colours from another drawing by stamping a thumbnail of it
- Use the 1px brush/eraser to sketch shapes, tidy up later with the 3px
- To dither opacity, dither a tiny area then clone it
- If you have a stylus BUY A SCREEN PROTECTOR
I got you covered there too!
An infographic explaining how to add fat shading to custom clothes in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. The tips are, avoid stray pixels; keep shadows light; use a fat preview model; and use the stamp tool to re-use your shading.
Here's a quick guide on adding fat torso shading to custom clothes in Tomodachi Life; so I can see all you guys' cute big guy miis as well! #miikuhan
Thank you! Honestly the biggest lifehack is just using the 2-part hairstyle and removing the bangs entirely so that you can just paint them on with the facepaint tool.

Case in point.
I'm aware ~100% of you are following me for the fat guy content and I promise to continue that but I just want to be transparent that 80% of my creative energy will be going toward the tomodachi life paint tool for the immediate future

IMAGINE how that all moves when he's running... like pears in the pear wiggler
The way I see it, bringing your art into the world is always a positive. Some art > no art, and you're doing people a kindness by letting them into your world after you've put in the work to bring it to life. Supererogation.
You should draw your bunn however you'd like! You don't have to feel beholden to anyone for it, there's no fursona police. The animating reason to do it is however you want to express yourself. If that provides content, or representation, or anything, that's a bonus, but it's not an obligation.
I told @bigemptymp3.bsky.social the second he put Senshi on my island this was gonna happen. And guess what

Oh yeah I should show off my virtual monky...
Fenrir, a fat silver wolf with a blue trenchcoat and fingerless gloves. He's jamming into a microphone.
@fenrirwolfen.bsky.social takes the stage! (He's probably singing a Final Fantasy song)
My sims:
- Also F2; convenient for filling in areas when you retopologize a mesh. These days I'm more likely to retopologize meshes by wrapping them with subdivided primitives and just welding them together but F2 is useful for the welding part too.
- I still have to actually try Buildify but it's COOL
My plugin recs:
- Rigify! Do learn to manually rig a mesh and maybe manually set up IK once or twice, then use rigify for most things.
- Pose library! I save my poses when I pose for drawings, previous poses are great starting points + saving things like hand poses is convenient (thumbs up, etc.)

A chubby, pale-skinned guy with white hair, half buzzed and half spiky, with red tips and two very long braids at the back. He has scattered blue scales, stubby horns, and a blue dragon tail. He's wearing a winter jacket and gloves on his top half, and tight swim trunks on his lower half.
Ilmari's getting ready for a cold dip in a hot spring!
I'm still vibrating with anticipation for Tomodachi Life... I'm going to have Ikuhan getting up to so much bullshit
Dokoro, a big fat tanuki furry flashing peace signs. He's got a yellow button-up shirt burst open to show his belly hanging in his red suspenders.
@dokoronuki.bsky.social is gonna need a new button-up! Everyone wish Doko a happy birthday!
Because I'm very good at it
