- Changelogs
WORK IN PROGRESS
All the bachelors/bachelorettes of vanilla game are done !
!! ANNOUNCEMENT !!
MOD CURRENTLY IN HOLD
I know I promised to finish the mod but I'm currently at a dead end.
I've been honing my skills and growing an audience on Social Medias. The problem is that I
quite shifted my style and I really don't know how to keep doing art that is basically
my previous level, and keep enjoying this. This is kind of a heartbreak for me because I wanted to
finish this mod so bad, and I wanted it in my game !! But this takes SO MUCH time,
and currently I'm trying to become a professional artist and training in my free time, to make money
and earn a living.
It's with a heavy heart that I'm putting this on pause for now. Maybe in the future I'll redo them all ?
I won't do another set of promises, I am a person of my word but I just didn't conceive what I would do in the future,
which is now, and please understand that I am sorry because I got a lot of feedback from you all being happy about this.
It's just too much and too different from what I'm doing right now, but I really really hope I can come back to this.
Who know ? Make it better maybe ? I'm hoping for the best.
And in the meanwhile take care, thank you a lot for your support, stay safe.
See you !
***
I might "fix" some stuff later, on them.
I'm open to suggestions, as I will continue onwards to the other villagers.
If you see something odd, texture or else, please tell me so that I
can fix it, I might overlook details whilst drawing or placing the portraits
on the spritesheets.
I have a Twitter account where I post my stuff (if u wanna check if I'm not dead)
and an Instagram account where I post art (if u like my shit).
Lastly there's my Youtube account, where I post some speedpaintings.
WHAT'S TO COME
-Every Stardew Valley character
-Stardew Valley Expanded characters (when I finish the vanilla inhabitants)
-Seasonal Outfits (MAYBE, have to figure out how it works after I'm done with the rest)

15th March 2020 : Sam made for version 1.1, hurray !!
This one I made in one day and a half I'm working too much... -_-
17th March 2020 : Maru made for version 1.2, phew !
Either I'm getting faster or sloppy ?...
EDIT : I Fixed some minor visual weirdness, adjusted the frames too.
There should be no problem anymore with Abi, Sam and Maru.
The files have to be downloaded again (version 1.3) (and replaced of course)
(Yes I was sloppy and careless as I thought)
18th March 2020 : Alex made for version 1.4, phew !
I hate forks and steaks, but I think It's looking fine anyway.

I didn't know what the scepter was, now I do.
24th March 2020 : Elliott made for version 1.6.

28th March 2020 : Penny made for version 1.7.
Took a while for no reason, I thought Penny would be funnier to draw ? No idea. Here she is anyway :D
EDIT : For a while now I didn't like how Emily looked, I thought she was very dull, and to think she's supposed to be radiant and all ! So I finally "fixed" her. And there was probably placement wonkyness, too, but I'm not sure... So anyway. Please download version 1.8 for the "better" Emily.
Yes I know I keep uploading fixes and especially after making a new version, my work flow is inconsistent lol.

DESCRIPTION
Ever since I played Stardew Valley I loved the game, and I was heavily disappointed by Harvest Moon series, for personal reasons/taste. So It's always a delight to re-discover and mod the game anew, and I always wanted to do the portraits myself. I also found few portraits covering the entire population of the game, which I liked (I liked this one, but it's not exhaustive, and then this one... but not this... and then the art is not coherent troughout the population of the Valley... and then how about HD with Portraiture, but though DC Burger drawings are nice it's not my cup of tea... the list goes on and no one cares).
So I made my own compilation and downloaded here and there, but then... how about making it myself ? So there it is. At last, I gathered the motivation to do it. I will also use them in my game once finished, probably, if I'm not to harsh on my own art XD that was the main reason why I started this mod.
How I proceed : I take inspiration from the sprites (the ones with them on the map, not the main portraits), and I do them with a touch of my tastes, a bit of my art style, a spray of manga/cute girl/gentleman inspiration, and respect towards how it could look, with that sprite in mind. I take slight liberties, but it sticks well overall to the vanilla sprites (my interpretation on them, anyway). So things like Abigail bow is there, Harvey doesn't have a moustache (he doesn't on his sprite), Alex has more tamed hair, Sam has earrings, etc... all examples of sticking to the sprite, and my interpretation of the character.
REQUIREMENTS
- SMAPI
- Portraiture
- PyTK
Note : The Smapi and Portraiture requirements are from the "Portraiture" mod, but technically... yeah, they're required, so...
INSTALLATION
Extract the zip contents to this location :
C:\...Stardew Valley\Mods\Portraiture\Portraits
Notes :
- Keep the "SolaLuuka" folder inside of the "Portraits" folder, from the "Portraiture" mod,
don't delete "SolaLuuka" and put the portraits directly inside of "Portraits", or it will not work.
- "Portraiture" is the base name of the folder for the mod "Portraiture", it may change if you changed the name when downloading their mod.
CREDITS
- Concerned Ape's for obvious reasons!! Thank you for making this pixelated awesomeness.
- Platonymous for Portraiture (I don't know my way around pixels so HD is better for me... >_>)
- Myself, because I made this ! :D (yes I just said it and it felt good)
Last but not least...
My sister for buying me material to draw on computer, and my boyfriend for keeping me motivated, as well as the nice comments ! This means a lot to me :)
I really hope you enjoy this, and that it will bring something to your game experience ! :D
