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 script 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 https://picarto.tv/sethrah

2 new stickers Thanks for tuning in Ignore the missing slipper at the bottom left I was too lazy to put it in the comparison image

https://picarto.tv/sethrah I have about 2 hours available to work on stickers today Feel free to join in to chat

Today has been busy No new stickers tonight I'll try to post updates depending on my availability

3 stickers at the top are the start sticker at the bottom was the original colouring. I touched it up manually to match normal lighting colours. It took about 2 hours for these so taking a break

I'll be starting work on some dragonmaid stickers For those interested or if you have suggestions for stickers from dragonmaid, free to join the chat https://picarto.tv/sethrah No estimate on how long I'll be working on these today The reason for using Picarto is that it supports 18+ streams and I won't get a DMCA strike for listening to music

It's that time of the year again You know the drill. If you don't, then just search "gdq" or "games done quick" in here and you'll get up to speed. https://gamesdonequick.com/ Please note that because of personal circumstances, I won't be starting on Kobayashi season 2 stickers immediately upon release. They are planned but I have other priorities right now. Thanks for your patience.

I was wrong THIS is the ideal male body
