Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear; O clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire!

I don't usually draw Wigfrid but I felt compelled to while listening to "jerusalem" by elgar and parry (or the emerson lake and palmer version, if you prefer). All the best singers I've met tend to have this physique, rooted and grounded to the earth, stocky and rock solid, with barrel chests and booming powerful voices. @the-valiant-valkyrie and their interpretations of Wigfrid, and the cross-section of acting, music, religion, and proving oneself worth anything without a role to play, all have me thinking more about a character I've tended to dismiss. I have seen the light, thank you!
#don't starve wigfrid#wigfrid#wigfrid don't starve#kvhart#when life gets you down draw women who can kick your ass#i'm not joking#you'll feel so much better#don't starve#don't starve together#dst#ART DROUGHT OVER

I think 90% of my gripes with how modern anime looks comes down to flat color design/palettes.
Non-cohesive, washed-out color palettes can destroy lineart quality. I see this all the time when comparing an anime's lineart/layout to its colored/post-processed final product and it's heartbreaking. Compare this pre-color vs. final frame from Dungeon Meshi's OP.
So much sharpness and detail and weight gets washed out and flattened by 'meh' color design. I LOVE the flow and thickness and shadows in the fabrics on the left. The white against pastel really brings it out. Check out all the detail in their hair, the highlights in Rin's, the different hues to denote hair color, the blue tint in the clothes' shadows, and how all of that just gets... lost. It works, but it's not particularly good and does a disservice to the line-artist.
I'm using Dungeon Meshi as an example not because it's bad, I'm just especially disappointed because this is Studio Trigger we're talking about. The character animation is fantastic, but the color design is usually much more exciting. We're not seeing Trigger at their full potential, so I'm focusing on them.
Here's a very quick and messy color correct. Not meant to be taken seriously, just to provide comparison to see why colors can feel "washed out." Top is edit, bottom is original.
You can really see how desaturated and "white fluorescent lighting" the original color palettes are.
[Remember: the easiest way to make your colors more lively is to choose a warm or cool tint. From there, you can play around with bringing out complementary colors for a cohesive palette (I warmed Marcille's skintone and hair but made sure to bring out her deep blue clothes). Avoid using too many blend mode layers; hand-picking colors will really help you build your innate color sense and find a color style. Try using saturated colors in unexpected places! If you're coloring a night scene, try using deep blues or greens or magentas. You see these deep colors used all the time in older anime because they couldn't rely on a lightness scale to make colors darker, they had to use darker paints with specific hues. Don't overthink it, simpler is better!]
#not art#dungeon meshi#rant#i'm someone who can get obsessive over colors in my own art#will stare at the screen adjusting hues/saturation for hours#luckily i've gotten faster at color picking#but yeah modern anime's color design is saddening to me. the general trend leans towards white/grey desaturated palettes#simply because they're easier to pick digitally#this is not the colorists fault mind you. the anime industry's problems are also labor problems. artists are severely underpaid#and overworked. colorists literally aren't paid enough to do their best#there isn't a “creative drought” in the anime industry. this trend is widespread across studios purely BECAUSE it's not up to individuals#until work conditions improve anime will unfortunately continue to miss its fullest potential visually#don't even GET ME STARTED ON THE USE OF POST-PROCESSING FILTERS AND LIGHTING IN ANIME THOUGH#SOMEONE HOLD ME BACK. I HATE LENS FLARES I HATE GRADIENT SHADING I HATE CHROMATIC ABBERATION AND BLUR

dreams are super super interesting
i wanna know what makes my sleep brain come up with stuff like being dragged around a fuzzy playplace area thingy happily, while asking people what their names and pronouns are, but none being able to tell me because of some parental contract, while a buff furry tiger tried to find me and when he did he held of his question "for later"
i want to know
#genuinely my dream self took everything as real because they were having fun#i wish i could control my dreams in some way to hang out with characters i like when i want to if that's how that works#but jeeeeeeez i love going on these silly adventures anyway#they're so entertaining#also yes I've been gone for over a week i am still drawing give me time I'm sorry#maybe I'll ramble a bit more on here about stuff#to compensate for the droughts of art

some art i made as promo for my gordon-bubby centric fic, inspired by the hlvrai thumbnails :] never got around to posting it tho, so i'll just dump 'em here else risk them rotting away in my files
you can read the fic here, if you're so inclined :3
bonus doodle i found nestled within the layers of the project files (idk how it ended up there)
#hlvrai#hlvrai bubby#hlvrai gordon#dr bubby#gordon feetman#half life but the ai is self aware#need u all to know im only posting bcos im procrastinating HARD rn#but also bcos i suddenly remembered i had these in my files#and i think i did pretty well on them :3 my last fully rendered pieces before i entered art drought#i. also need to update old wounds#once finals are over....

looking through the lighter tag at the end of the day and your posts are there 😭 I am fed I am happy
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT OFFICIAL STORY ART OF LIGHTER (DONT!!!! READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVENT AND DONT WANT MINOR SPOILERS !!!!) ooohh my god. not to yearn on main but imagine him letting you help him bandage him up or him softly watching you trace your hand along his scars. If you ask he'll probably tell you where he got them but he doesn't wanna make you uncomfortable by just straight up telling you GAH I LOVE HIM
I keep thinking about how he's the one of newest sons of calydon members and the whole idea around being friends since before he had joined them and just . ouugh. And maybe you join him (and he will literally never forget it even though he wont mention how much that means to him)
Something something being the mechanic to his biker . I can't spell it out I had a mokent of clarity and got embarrassed about all this but I'm NOT TURNING ANON ON AGAIN!!!! I want to talk about him so badly he's such a loser (/pos)
he’d definitely not tell you straight up from what we’ve seen in the story currently. he lightly dances around the topic, maybe thinking it might push you away from him. who would love someone who’s covered in scars? but the moment you show even more interest and care, it softens him so much.
ALSO since i just finished the quest, he says at the end that we’re (proxy/mc) the only ones that remember him. like i literally did this whole event FOR YOU !! and if the SoC ever ask about you two, he’d get flustered when you’d start talking about your friendship with him. you’re mentioning some embarrassing moments and he just clears his throat and gets up, saying that he needs to get more nitro-fuel (there’s still a lot left). seeing you talk to the girls from afar, reminded him of when he first met you. he was beat up, bruised, earning titles for himself, people would never voluntarily go up to him without the intent of starting a fight. and yet you did, bearing no ill intent and only pure interest in wanting to know him.
for the last one, OUGSHSGSKDG i genuinely have like a thing for machinery (robot men i love) but i never see it through because i fear i am not a mechanic/engineer. definitely will try to write a long proper post for it so maybe in the future (maybe after his release?). BUT THE VISION !! I SEE IT !!
#lumiresponds ˚✧₊⁎☆#lighter zzz#zzz lighter#lighter lorenz#I AM SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG#i truly play so slow AND i have like 1927397393 gacha games#but still he’s on my mind#cuz now that there is severe wrio drought at least i can go insane over lighter#and my twt finally figured out that i like lighter#so i’ve just been getting wrio lighter wrio lighter art back to back#HOW AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK ABOUT HIM ???
