Technical Notes

These are the technical specifications from JujiBla's Art-Bible for our intern artists.
JujiBla and our interns use Adobe Photoshop, so any settings described here apply to this program.

• All graphics should (not need to, but should be strived for) have a pixel size divisible by 4 on both sides with and height

  • good: 800 x 600

  • bad: 801 x 603

• Should be good visible on a small screen (Steam Deck display is 1280 × 800 pixels)

• Pay attention to naming conventions - layers and exported files must be named as shown here!

• Outlines for all characters and enemies must be the same thickness, therefore the canvas size must always be roughly the same

• Brush: Doozy Inker: https://kyletwebster.gumroad.com/l/Spmsg

  • Size: 35 Px

Canvas Sizes:

• Heroes (Nita): 2710 x 1800 pixels, 300 pixels/inch

  • Exported size: 602 x 400

• Heroes (Nata): 2710 x 2142 pixels, 300 pixels/inch

  • Exported size: 853 x 480

• Enemies (Example Shroom): 2000 x 1800 pixels, 300 pixels/inch

  • 444 x 400

• Backgrounds (Example Forest): 6000 x 3376 pixels, 300 pixels/inch

  • Exported size: 2560 x 1440

• Canvas sizes may vary slightly, depending on the size of the subject, orient yourselves on the existing graphics

• Since the backgrounds are painted, the canvas size can be freely determined. However, it MUST be larger than 2560 x 1440 pixels and the aspect ratio MUST be 16:9

• Enemies and heroes must be exported to scale

• All exported Images must be png

• Adobe Menu:

  • Export: File > Export As

• Important, especially for backgrounds: Resample: Bicubic Automatic

  • Depending on your art-style (eg: pixel art) this might not apply to you

• Use the other heroes and enemies as a reference for export sizes

• Do not crop transparencies! All frames of an enemy/hero should be the same size
