Feel free to join in to chat
Working on a redraw for an expression from one of the shorts
Uncertain how long that will take but feel free to join to chat and listen to some 80s rock

2 hours of work later
2 new stickers
Although it was mostly the smug redraw and recolour that took a while.
I managed to mostly fix the colouring of the scene by applying some light filters manually
More stickers in the future
but no ETA
I do not have the same free time I had the first time the show aired

As mentioned previously
My free time is unfortunately not the same as it used to be
I'll be working on stickers on a "if I feel like it" basis in my free time.
So no concrete deadlines for updates to the dragon maid S2 pack

I have some things I will be experimenting with tonight to see if I can get a better image from the show before starting with stickers.
Progress update
I have set up an environment that allows me to analyze the native resolution of shows that are airing when I feed it a 1080p file.
It's not an exact science and some data is up to interpretation.
But with this info one can see that dragonmaid is airing at a higher native resolution.
Vertical = relative error
Horizontal = Resolution
image 1: a known 1080p native source
image 2: dragonmaid S2
image 3: boku no hero
The gradual dip you see relates to the image appearing more "correct" at the resolution it's being parsed at
The point that's the lowest on the graph could be considered the most correct resolution for the show
So if you check boku no hero, you can see for sure that the show is a 720p broadcast that's been upscaled to 1080p.
But with dragonmaid that dip isn't there. I've compared various different screens and the result remains the same. It's a natural decline.
Dragonmaid *might* be airing at 1080p, it might even be something around 900p. but it's not 720p.

After yesterdays investigation I decided to investigate further how I would go about improving a source image.
File without subs: Alteration
File with subs: Original
Through using a tool called vapoursynth I've written a noscript to re-encode episode files to give me a stronger outline on objects in a scene.
This is something I'll use on a case by case basis depending on the source image, as the result isn't guaranteed to be better than the original image.
I should also note that this (at least the way I've used it) isn't something you should do for watching an episode. The output that I desired was for screenshots. Not for a scene in motion. It does not look as good when viewed during playback.

I'll try to make some time next week for actually making stickers
My process is going to be a bit different this time around
My photoshop license finally expired and I'll be trying to use clip studio paint to do the background removal process

Stream somewhere in about 6 - 7 hours
Will be trying out clip studio paint to see how it holds up on my process
Stream will be on picarto.tv marked as for mature audiences. (So you need an account)
Picarto is used simply because it has better TOS for content potentially 18+

Trying to get the hang of CSP
At least 2 stickers by the end of the evening is the goal, more if things go well.
