The Grapefruittian Archive of Communal Barrier Art

Hello, you who has decided to look at this guide! I’ve been making barrier art (sometimes I do prop though) for a while, and I have a lot of designs I want to share, but they don’t fall under one specific type, and I’ve never had enough of one type to make a singular guide. I bet other people have had this problem too of having a design they want to share, but they don’t want to make a whole guide around it. So I made this to be a collection of those barrier (and prop) art pieces and how to make them.

Rules:
Absolutely, positively, NO GRIEFING.
If you want to add a design, ask me (@Grapefruitt) first. If the design doesn’t fall under the 4 sections I have previously made, I’ll make a new section.
If your writing is low quality when you add your entry in, I will probably come edit it to have good grammar and just be better writing.
If your work is low quality, I will remove it (by low quality, I mean something anyone could throw together in 5 seconds).

Don’t click for fun.

Gigi

All barriers in this character are 1.00 transparency and no outline

Step 1

First add a circular barrier (tinted R 255 G 72 B 72) and put a long rectangular barrier over it (R 138 G 0 B 0)


Step 2

Next, take 9 small circular barriers ( R 161 G 252 B 255) and place them on top of Gigi’s head. Make sure the rectangular barrier is layered above it! Then take two white rectangular barriers and place them on the head.


Step 3

Now, the face! Take two white circular barriers and place them on the head, then add two smaller black circles for the pupils. Then, take a rectangular barrier that’s the same color as Gigi’s head and place it partially above the eyes so it doesn’t look like she’s seen things. Now, get four of these | symbols (size 19) and tilt them to be her eyelashes. Then, take a ) symbol (size 21) and rotate it to be her mouth.





Step 4

Sweater time! Take 2 circular barriers ( R 75 G 244 B 255) and a rectangular barrier the same color as the circle ones to make her sweater neck (Disclaimer: all barriers will be the same color for the rest of this step). Take a rectangle to make her body. Next, take three rectangular barriers to make her arm. Make the first one point diagonally downward, then take the other two point diagonally upward and put them next to each other. Repeat this process for the other arm. Now, take a text box and put in a star emoji :star: (size 81)




Step 5

On to the legs! Take 2 rectangular barriers that are the same color as the dark strip on Gigi’s head and place them below the sweater. Now take two small rectangles that are the same color as her head and use them for her feet.

Step 4

Face time! Take two rectangular barriers, one smaller than the other, each tinted R102 G101 B97 and put them on top of the circle barrier. Then, for the antlers, take 6 rectangular barriers tinted R187 G185 B160 and place them as seen in the photo below. Then, take a white circle and place it on the head and put a smaller black circle on top of that for the eye.

Step 3

Take four black metal poles and place them across the body. Then take two smaller black metal poles and connect them. These will be his arms.

Step 2

Now, take ceramic plates (tinted black) and two long rectangular barriers for the faces (you can switch these up). Next, take some small circles tinted R254 G187 B187 to be the mouths (you can change size and position to make different expressions). Then, take some small white circles and put them in the eyes of the kirbys with ceramic plates.



Step 3

Take small circles tinted R255, G127, B254 (pink), R254, G226, B48 (yellow), R47, G255, B47 (green) and place them under the kirby’s eyes to make blush.

Dragon Head (Originally made by Anwen (not a forums user)
Step 1

Take a shield, tint it black, and make it big. Take two circular shields and tint them R117 G0 B195 (when you hear me say to tint something purple, I’m referring to this color) and rotate them to look like angry eyes. Take two alien plants tinted purple and rotate them and put them on the eyelids. Add another two alien plants tinted purple and put them on the side of the dragon’s head.

Step 2

Add two groundbreaking plants to the top of the head to make horns (they’re tinted purple btw). Take two medieval forks, tint them purple, and put them between the eyes to make a snout. Take two lava buckets (tinted purple ofc) and rotate them to make nostrils.

Final product

Remember, this design is completely customizable! You can change the colors, props, expression, and anything really! I just made it like this because it’s probably the easiest design.

Dr. Amnesia (oc)
Step 1

Take two medium snow piles (the small one and the bigger one) and tint them black and stack them on each other.

Step 2

Take two small white circles and put them on the head. Then, take three white squares, and rotate two in the middle of the body to make the outside of the larger eye, and use the last white square to fill everything in. Then take a black circle and put it in the middle for a pupil.

Step 3

Take four long black barriers and turn them into arms.

Forest Lump (@OddAudtheAce’s OC)

Take 2 thin, brown rectangles and tilt them so that they are opposite. Then take 6 small, brown, thin rectangles and put them in an antler pattern. Now, take a small black circle and put it on the mask. Then put a small red circle on the mask. These are the eyes.

Final Product

I have many more designs, but I just wanna start slow. If I’m doing anything wrong, please tell me! Criticism helps me a lot. Also, if I don’t get to your request, I’m likely busy/tired/procrastinating/forgetting common knowledge.

I think this is great, and I added the #barrier-art tag for what I feel are somewhat obvious reasons, just wanted to make sure you were aware.

No worries, that’s partially why I exist.

Gonna add that to the list of stuff to make now, I’ll be done with most if not all by tomorrow. No more requests for now.

Okay soon maybe make this a wiki?

The user literally takes requests, making a wiki would be useless.
