Guys. GUYS. listen to me- kate carter is a natural brunette. no i’m not just saying that because daisy edgar jones has brown hair naturally, there’s a picture of young kate and her mom that is shown in the scene where she comes back home. I caught it on my second rewatch. I mean ofc you could chalk up her darker roots to it just being a dirty blonde but no, she really is a brunette.

Which brings me to this thought- I wonder what Tyler’s reaction (along with the others ofc) would be when they see Kate with brown hair. Let’s say her blonde dye was growing out enough for her to decide to dye it back. Maybe she does it when she went back to NY for a bit before going back to Oklahoma. Will there be chaos? Definitely. Will Tyler Owens get a heart attack? Duh. Like, imagine the possibilities guys, hellooo

GOOD AFTERNOON FELLOW ROB ENJOYERS!!

DO YOU WANNA DRAW YOUR FAVORITE GUY? ARE YOU TIRED OF USING THE SAME THREE STOCK IMAGES FOR THAT PESKY STATIC BODY? WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN HOW TO ACHIEVE THE SAME EFFECT USING ONLY YOUR PEN AND LAYER EFFECTS?

WELL THEN BOY DO I HAVE A TUTORIAL FOR YOU!!!

IF YOU FOLLOW THE SIMPLE STEPS LAID OUT DOWN BELOW, YOU TOO CAN BECOME CLINICALLY INSANE LEVEL UP YOUR ART SKILLS BY LEARNING HOW TO MAKE REALISTIC STATIC IN THE DIGITAL MEDIUM!!

okay i'll stop yelling at you now. on with the tutorial!

Step One: Blocking!

this is usually part of the coloring process for me, so you'll need a mostly complete drawing to start out with.

now, draw out where you want the static to be with white. the average hard round brush will be good for this step, but you can use whatever you like! i for example prefer to use the polygon lasso tool to get more crisp edges (however this effect can also be achieved with the eraser tool).

for his arms and legs, just outline them in white and color them in.

depending on the pose/perspective you might have to separate certain pieces into different layers. for example, here his left arm and lower torso are clipping through the line art

so we move them to be below the line art layer and boom! problem solved.

important note: you can not use another color for the blocking. the white base color is critical in achieving the most convincing static look!

Step Two: Brushes and Blues

now for this step, we will be using these four shades of blue-grey, as well as plain black and white. for your convenience, the hex codes are also included!

HEX: 1d2427 HEX: 4d5c65 HEX: 899eac HEX: cce6f6

now go to the different brush presets for whatever program you're using. chances are, they'll have some variety of a paint-splatter brush (and if they don't, there's probably a way for you to download one or make your own).

the best kind to use is one where all of the particles are fully solid and not varying too much in opacity.

Step Three: Jackson Pollock That Shit!

now's the fun part! make a new layer and start layering the blues with your splatter brush in any order you like. just color vomit all over your canvas and don't worry about getting any of the particles outside of the base!

go back and re-layer any particular color as many times as you like until you're satisfied.

sometimes, all of this layering can result in loss of the original base color, like you can see here.

but don't worry! this can be fixed by tossing some white back into the mix.

once you're happy with that, go through and lightly sprinkle in some black. remember: a little is a lot! keep it subtle.

Step Four: Layer Effects!

this is where the magic happens! turn your blue splatter layer(s) into a clipping mask!

ka-boom! looks great, right? well, its about to get even better! go into your layer effects panel and select "Hard Light"

Step Five: Motion Blur

now, this step is optional depending on whether or not your program has more than one kind of blurring effect, but for the sake of the tutorial we'll pretend that it does.

find the motion blur panel and open it. set the angle to zero.

(ignore that i had my distance set to 2 here i just needed to have an example screenshot lol)

now crank that shit up!!

if your static layers had to be separated like in our example, make sure to do the same amount of blurring there as well. depending on your preferences, you can change the level of distance to highlight some kind of feeling. having it at 2 allows the viewer's eyes to rest on the darker colors, but having it at 7 brings out the brighter colors, calling attention to how annoyed he is with me right now.

depending on how you mix the different colors and level of blurring, you can get a lot of different variations in the static's look. feel free to experiment with it!

Step Six: Glow (optional)

unless you're drawing a dark/low-light setting, you can skip this part entirely. again, for the sake of the tutorial, lets pretend its dark!

now, since its supposed to be super dark here, i've selected the base layer for the static and deleted the black from it.

now for the fun part! make a new layer above the one we just made, then take the lightest blue color and cover the static with it! in the next step, this will become your glow!

i like to use a typical hard round brush and then apply a gaussian blur until i think it looks appropriately blurry, but you can also use your average pressure-opacity airbrush! both have their strengths, which you'll see in the next step!

for this step it helps to already have some knowledge of how light interacts with objects, but its not required! if you don't have a lot of prior experience, take this as an opportunity to practice! take it from me, making fan art of specific things is a great way to get good at drawing in general.

once we have an appropriate amount of glow and blur, we set the layer mode to Linear Light! your program might not have this layer mode, so try to find a mode that does something similar or is close enough

here you can see the strengths i mentioned before!

in the areas where i used the solid round brush + gaussian blur, i had a bit more control over how concentrated the light was at the center and how far it could spread, making it look more artificial/computerized.

meanwhile in the airbrushed areas, there's a very different vibe! on the right side where i applied the airbrush harshly in one stroke, it has a sort of cloudy look, but on the left where i applied it in multiple strokes, the varying opacities create a more painted aesthetic, which adds a lot of visual interest!

now we have arrived at the final step of this process! go to the current layer's opacity box and lower that sucker!

you should raise/lower this meter depending on how dark it is. Keep messing with it until it feels right. for our specific example(and more specifically the gaussian blur areas), a good opacity level is 73% !

and with that, we're done!

thank you for reading this! i had a fun time putting it together :)

before you go, please know that you don't have to follow every step of this to the letter!! feel free to break away from my methods and do your own experiments! mess with the hue of the static colors, use different brushes for the glow lighting, add variation in your particle sizes - go crazy with it!! half of art is experimentation and i wouldn't even have this process without it! :3

if you end up using this tutorial for Rob art on tumblr, please tag me in it!!! i would be absolutely overjoyed to see whatever you make :D (not a requirement though! either way, i'm very proud to have put this out into the world)

if you need help with any of these steps or the process in general, feel free to reach out in the replies of this post or in my ask box! i'd be happy to help out with whatever you need :3 thank you for reading this and i hope you have a wonderful day!

Flavorsome morning

Ink x Finch | Painted wings

As the warm but vibrant rays of sunrise began to sneak and creep their way into the JR’s castle certain workers and guards began to wake up, ready to either take on the morning shift or begin their work.

Finch was one of those people who stayed up an hour longer incase of any uncounted for emergencies; which is where he usually found himself enjoying something like a snack or a pastry that was freshly made by the chefs who seemed used to him by now and always had his favorites along with things he may like picked out for him on a plate to come by and enjoy.

The brunette quietly hummed a little melody to keep himself company as he took off his hat, running his fingers through his hair to try and style it as he walked into the cafeteria which was slightly busier than usual. Some people were switching shifts, some were eating their breakfast or grabbing a meal to sleep better without an empty stomach but that of course didn’t stop them from their respectful greeting to Finch, which he had to return; Looking to the side of the room he noticed the chefs having already begun displaying the baked goods they offered today.

“Morning” Finch put his hat back on as he greeted one of the elder cooks, his voice soft and tired but clearly relaxed and as close as one can get to happy in such an early hour after a night shift. “Ah, Captain,” the cook smiled, his face almost lighting up at the sight of the younger. “I see you’re tired,” the elder looked at Finch’s eye bags and slightly unprofessional posture which was a clear sign of his sleepiness. “So I shouldn’t take much of your time with bothersome conversations.” the cook finished and turned to the counter beside him, going to get Finch’s plate. Finch’s eyes slightly widened as he felt a pang of guilt, causing him to frown and quickly press on “No, no, I enjoy our conversations, they aren’t one bit bothersome!” a gentle but trustworthy smile was to be seen on his face on the younger’s face, who was trying convince the cook to believe him but the older had other thoughts as the next words were spoken with such pride “I’ve hand picked the best for you, young captain.” The plate made a soft sound as it was put on the counter for the brunette to pick up, looking as appetizing as always. Knowing there was no room for arguments with the older man, Finch took a deep breath in, smiling once more as he thanked the other who turned around and attended to his duties once again.

The captain picked up his plate from the counter and made his way to one of the tables he regularly sat at. He placed his plate on the table and sat down, looking at the breakfast the older cook had picked out for him today; his plate had two waffles with honey and a little butter, scrambled eggs, some cut up strawberries and what really caught his eye was the hazelnut croissant.

Finch wasn’t one to claim certain people looked like certain things since that was rather awkward to explain but there was something about this croissant; it just kept reminding him of Ink. Was it the colors? It definitely was but at such a sleepy state, it felt like Finch wasn’t sure how Ink even looked anymore.

Speak of the right hand man, there he was waking through the entrance of the cafeteria, rubbing his eye as he most likely still felt sleepy; It was a known fact Ink stayed up even when he didn’t want to.

Finch looked down at the freshly made pastry and up at the other, almost as if he was doing a double take; he was right. Ink looked like a croissant, a hazelnut croissant which for some reason made him smile in what can only be described as amusement.

The captain wasn’t one to enjoy sweet things in the morning but he still decided to take a bite. The nuts had a strong taste despite being little and the croissant was flakey and flavorful; Damn it, it even tasted like Ink’s personality; Not much but leaves an imprint as well as messy but easy to adore

Finch paused, why was he thinking of Ink so much recently, he had no reason to but the other seemed to always having haunted his thoughts. Did he admire the other or idolize him or was it that he had feelings for him?

Brushing away the thoughts was the only thing that brought the brunette peace; There was no use in overthinking, he wasn’t in his best state of mind to begin with so his thoughts would’ve been in a bigger scramble than they were in before if he didn’t stop. All he could care about was enjoying his breakfast while feeling the soft breezes of wind accompanied by warm rays of sunshine that never seemed to fail at lighting the cafeteria up.

To celebrate 10 years in this god forsaken fandom, I redrew the og art of my fave paranormal investigators !

Singles and small rant below cut :P

Cannot believe it’s been a damn decade. This fandom and these characters have done so much to shape me and help me turn into the person- and artist!!- I am today, and I am forever grateful for the friends I’ve made along the way. (You know who you are 😉)

I cannot believe young Gooze looked at Johnny Ghost and said Yeah, that’s my entire personality now, and then it WAS. Now I’m an inducted thespian with a love for dramatizing everything, and for doing stupid voices, and a buncha other stuff. I even took his name, Johnny/Ghost. Which I suppose a lot of us have, huh?

Anyway if you’re looking down here, hi, here’s the first ever piece of fanart young Gooze did (that I can find)

(Yes, that’s Ghost and Jimmy. And yeah it’s bad, but I was a very young child. Let’s appreciate how far I’ve come, yeah?)

dw spoilers//

i didn't rlly like the ruby's mother reveal because I get how they're doing the whole "oh this woman who was made out to be really important turns out to be just some ordinary gal" thing but we have done that before, probably a good couple of times, and I wanted something interesting... just felt anticlimactic rlly

disappointing cuz I thought the first part of the 2 parter was rlly good but the 2nd part just didn't rlly satisfy what I was expecting idk
