Here's a nice one I found a while ago. It was made with comics in mind but I think it would help in any situation.
Background tutorial

Also her really awesome city skyline tutorial.

Thank you so much for the response! This is a big help.
Hopefully now I'll be able to start putting everything together.

Looks good!
Glad you were able to come up with something you like.

What kind of colors do you have in mind for the ties?

I've been looking up information about giving nvl text scrollbars to simulate the look of an IM window, but I'm having trouble making sense of the code. I know this sort of thing is possible thanks to a thread from last year, but the answer doesn't give any hints as to how it would be implemented. S...

I don't know how useful this will be, but I managed to get a semi speed-painted look out of the picture with three different layers. Bottom layer has the paint daubs filter with a very low brush size and no sharpness. The second layer has the cutout filter with the max amount of levels and zero edge...

Also I agree with what Sapphi said about the tie: it doesn't 'fit' (what I assume is) your chosen palette all that much. Every other color is toned down a little bit; the tie would benefit from it too. If you want the eye to be drawn to it give the tie some contrast to the outfit another way. Actua...

If the colors change based on year I would go with one of the more neutral colors like black or brown, and it might be good to pick a color that isn't too similar to any of your character's hair colors. The first version in the lineup looks like a big brown blob. :O Also I agree with what Sapphi sai...

The other engines I've seen are either for PC or are completely online. To me not having the ability to download what I've made is a bit off-putting, and since I own a mac I'd rather not have to jump into virtualbox every time I want to play/work on a visual novel. The cross platform capability of R...

Actually there have been lightpens since about the 80's if not earlier and those are somewhat like how an intuos tablet style system would work nowadays. And there have been scanners around for decades too. But yeah for the most part pixel art. Fascinating- I've never even heard of light pens befor...

Interesting, but from the pictures it looks like any other guide to CGing in photoshop. :x Also wow that tutorial is old. I haven't used photoshop 5 since I was in middle school. One wonders how on earth those poor VN makers made VNs before the era of tablets and affordable scanners. Pixel art? How ...
