The Ultimate Guide to making Gims in GKC [WIKI]

Welcome to the ULTIMATE GUIDE AND WIKI to making GIMS using BARRIERS and TEXT!

This Guide will have a BUNCH tutorials on how to make different GimKit Gims using barriers and text! Please note that this is a WIP.

(THIS IS A WIKI and GUIDE. If you want to edit, read the rules on editing by scrolling to the bottom. DO NOT EDIT without permission.)

Disclaimer

Of course you can just get the sentry or character from the devices and place it there
and that’s it.. or is it. Making barrier art for Gims can be useful depending on the map your’re using.

Cocoa Cup Gim by @Citrinlite
Step 1

First, let’s head over to get the barrier. Make sure the show border option is turned off. The barrier should have a soft, light peach hue, the exact color is R-255, G-243, B-214. It should have a square-like shape.
Like this

Step 2

Start by grabbing a circle and set it to the same soft peach color as the barrier. Carefully align the shapes, ensuring they fit together seamlessly to form the base of your Cocoa Cup Gim. Take your time to position each piece perfectly for a smooth, cohesive design.


A rounded rectangle with a semicircular bottom. (Best way I could describe it)

Step 3

Next, add a small brown rectangle to represent the hot chocolate. Carefully position it inside the cocoa cup, ensuring it sits perfectly within the boundaries to create the illusion of a warm, rich drink. Take your time to align it so that it complements the overall design and adds depth to your Cocoa Cup Gim. (R-40 G-23 B-11 for exact brown color)

Step 4

Grab a barrier and set it to a pure white color (RGB-255). Resize it to form a small square, and position it carefully on top of the hot chocolate. This will represent the little marshmallows floating atop the drink, adding that touch of Sugariness to your Cocoa Cup Gim.

Step 5

-Now we are going to do 2 things making the handle and legs-

Handle

Create a small circle like this, then add a smaller grey circle beside it to form the handle, positioning it carefully to complete the design.


Pretty simple right?

Legs

Add 2 small squares (or rectangles) rotate one a little bit to the tilting left and the other on is tilting to the right.

Step 6

There is no life to our Gim so we gotta add eyes to it!
Grab a barrier and set it to black, then resize it into a rectangle shape. If you’d like, you can add a subtle highlight to the eyes for an extra touch of detail, though that’s entirely optional.

Step 7

When drinking hot chocolate, never forget the :sparkles: SPRINKLES :sparkles:! Grab this specific space trash prop


Make it really small and tint it with vibrant, strong colors (avoid pastels as they won’t work). Then, copy and paste it around the hot chocolate, scattering them evenly to create a lively, colorful effect.

Here is your final masterpiece :smiley: It’s not exactly perfect, but it’s the closest to the real Gim!

This looks great! It is pretty specific, so adding even more gim art to this might be a good idea.

Voting 11/10 for difficulty is so sigma

Honeslty for the handle I would rather painstakingly put smaller barriers for it but that’s just me

Yeah, I’ll take my cocoa with milk and 30 sugars



Oh well I tried, but I uh ditched the marshmallows on the way…

Awesome Guide!

Thanks Yoyo!

Bumping is when you bring back a helpful/needed/important topic to the top for other people to see, not an insult or anything.


Woah, that’s so cool shadow :O

No, they said that because they thought Citrinlite voted really bad on their barrier art. See?

I totally agree, it does seem like that.

Would it be possible to create all the Gims using barrier art? I understand some might be challenging, but it seems achievable. :eyes:

2 Likes

Yeah, definitely.
You could even make the post a wiki so the community can collaborate or so you can have unlimited editing time!

I like that idea but how do I make it a wiki?
