Effects to add a more retro look to your illustrations
(What should hopefully be the final and most refined update to this set)
Multiple
auto actions that can be used to make your art look more retro. I
recommend the noise material by 鮭とユッケ to put over top the final work on
soft light layer setting
(there's also "vhs actions" by pigmafemale for additional effects that may work well along with these)
(Refer
to this thread I made for further instructions on how this and auto
actions work: https://twitter.com/reimidy/status/1283888437628743682)
Every
action minus the Line blur flatten the image by default so if you wish
to avoid that click the list screen and the action right after flatten
image

All actions listed are in order of how I like to use them
Line Effect (ver. for both raster and vector layers):

Retro Blur:

VHS Sharpen:

VHS Screen Effect:

(Blur strength can be adjusted to your liking in all these actions as well)
Bonus Actions Included that add a different kind of effect you might have in mind -
VHS Color Distortion:

Color Filter: (Much more outdated and only works with certain illustrations in my opinion)

Old version
