still seareching for a liver than youll ever be stones CD T-T the one i had got was a CDr which CDrs tend to not work well or like have trouble being read on my CD player and also just always have kinda blurry not v nice packaging and none of the magic of 90s CDs bootlegs so looking for one stilll tho it seems real hard T-T almost got one that was like a bootleg in the style of those mfsl original master CDs u kno w/ hte minimized album art and gold CD but then looked it up and saw it was a CDr and was like T-T tho rly just want one thatss the full 2nd concert tho will probably also get one thats the og LP track listing if it sshows up for cheap since i do just want one in general. tho the nicest looking CDs are ones w/ the og stamped on type cover that are CDs released in 94/96 but also the amount of ppl on discogs who own those discs is v small so im sure theyre p rare but the other CDs have p ugly covers tbh that arent even from the 1969 tour and are mostly still mick taylor era pics but like later 70s like exile tour n so forth n stuff. tho the best bet is the swingin pig CD thats from 1990 cause that has all 16 tracks but that showed up a week or so ago for like more than 100$ soo ya T-T theres another one called vintage but vigorous that only has the og LP track listing and a slightly better looking cover imo even tho it also isnt from the 69 tour but yaa just gonna have to wait and keep an eye out. also of mention is that the 100$ dissappeared later the same night it showed up and i think it was delisted so like i have to keep an eye out daily tbh if i really wanna find one. idk what the rules on bootlegs on ebay are cause like u can find tons but some do get removed so it is strange. i remember when i was getting beach boys smile CDs and a seller messaged me cause i viewed smthn they later delisted saying they would relist it if i bought it right away lol like i guess to avoid having it delisted by ebay. tho i guess it depends cause like therees some that are always up like idk. reallly wanna find one its a great greate album like def a equal to if not better than ya yas like ya ya has the upper hand of being official better quality and stuff but live'r has the benefit of being like unfiltered live audio and the roughness goes in its favor in the same way got live's roughness benefits its energy. even just the LP live'r like the fact it doesnt have vocal overdubs like ya yas does gives it an upper hand at being a more genuine live document and the CDs that have the full second concert benefit from having the full concert like stuff like under my thumb and gimme shelter sound real great so yeas.. anyways my musik von harmonia germanofon CD shipped today so im like yayyyyy wonder what its gonna sound like. germanofons aree usually great sounding given the context but i have this 1995 japanese CD of musik von harmonia that really sounds excellent and has great packaging n everything that i have zero complaints abt so like wonder how its gonna hold up to that.

Your art is super nice! Quick question when you pick colours for your 'stained glass' pieces do you work from a colour pallete or use like multiply layers?

thank ye! It varies from piece to piece- I rarely ever take color palettes from other places unless referencing specific environments.

(on the other hand, for stuff like quick portraits- i color pick 100% because that makes my workflow so much faster lol)

tl;dr I usually like to flat in my own colors with a thing I like to call “floodfill tool at 100% opacity” with minor help from gradient maps and adjustment friends at the end, but not too much, bc I don’t like losing my original colors most of the time

(colors for my tale of two brothers pieces were taken, in places, from these two paintings by manansala/amorsolo and uhhh this bridge) this started off as a gradient, and everything else was just building shapes on essentially one layer, taking some swatches from the ref pics at times.

 so otherwise usually I try create my own color palette for a picture, whether it be just picking colors/shades w/ my own instincts, or letting them develop through, yup, lots of adjustment layers.

the most typical process is that I pick a pretty complete color scheme on my own and then use some adjustment layers/gradient maps at the end, but sometimes only block out certain shapes/areas and try to maintain the original color scheme in a lot of places still. I have an old process video that shows me figurin stuff out a bit!!! 

original flat colors (picked color palette myself) vs. final colors w/ some screen layers probably. I used a LOT of adjustment layers over the cultist zen because I wanted it to fall back into the background some more.

sometimes I just don’t feel like figuring out how to shift all the shades darker on my own, or make stuff greener, so, sure, multiply/overlay layer that stuff yeehaw, for the base/rough colors at least. Once I’m satisfied with the color scheme I typically merge and build the rest of it on my own, and more color adjustments come in at the end.

there’s nothing wrong with using adjustment layers, mind you, i just like the extra control over individual shades when I figure each color on my own and just find myself liking my pictures that don’t use them as much a lot more than those that do xP

this recent commission was a pretty rare one- didn’t use multiply layers, other than the sketch/lineart itself, instead starting with just straight-on flatting in two different color scheme choices with the intention of those being the final colors!

The commissioner requested the first color scheme and the second was mostly scrapped, but since I personally liked a lot about the bluer color scheme I put it on low opacity and erased most of it, leaving just a lil at the side.

I really like these pieces because, naturally, without adjustment layers they kind of show off the purest essence of the ‘coral’ colors I love the most. Another recent example I’ve done, though not stained glass style, that has my raw unfiltered color preferences are my deltarune pieces

Belated🔴🔴🔴🔴🎉 Disclaimer: These photos are not current, they are about two years old. I never posted these photos before; specifically the one of me sitting on the bench; because I thought my ankles looked chunky (what?), and also that I looked frumpy. In hindsight, I realize that it wasn’t that bad (especially since I look so much frumpier now in photos, lol). I posted the two smaller (filtered/color) photos on Saturday in honor of the Chinese New Year. And then I immediately deleted them. I’ve been doing that a lot lately, posting and then deleting photos if/when they don’t get any likes. That is very unlike me (haha, get it?). I’ll be the first to admit it, I am not photogenic, and my photos are rarely National Geographic worthy. So I always add filters, and then I get upset because it’s not authentic anymore and I delete them. But, me thinks I'm just going to start posting all the things (like it or not, ha), and I’m going to bask in all their unfiltered, unedited glory. Heck, I might even start liking my own photos. In line with this new plan, I went back and posted the unedited version of the red lanterns (big pic), and two days later I have all of thirteen thumbs up. Fine with me, y’all. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go like my red lanterns shot because I think it’s awesome. Happy Chinese New Year! Fashion Brownie:)
