#Altho i notice the wonkiness now

Finished a bit of woodworking

You know, if there was one manga that would be adapted to live action and succeed, I never would have guessed it to be this one.

I'm ofc talking about the One Piece Live Action on Netflix

A whole day binge right after release, I was READY, and thankfully, I was not disappointed. There are cuts and streamlining of the story, characters coming in earlier than in the manga/anime, and some of the emotional bits don't hit as hard as in the original. Still, I can feel the love the production team has of One Piece. The characters are goofy and lovable, but they are also serious and straight-faced.

One thing that I noticed throughout was the constant close up to faces and sometimes straight on, as if almost breaking the 4th wall. The very first scene with Luffy is like this, but there he DOES look into the camera directly, but the pov of the camera is revealed to be a newsbird. It's like a statement that they know this is a silly pirate romp, they know that some people will not take this seriously, but they will not do 4th wall breaks silly, but in-universe silly. Does that make sense?

I laughed at several points in the show, big and wide smile on my face and pointing at the screen several times...

But I do wonder how much of my laugh was on the show's on merit or if I was only calling back on the the source material. At times I did feel the straw hat crew not being as iconic as in the manga/anime. The extreme reactions, the over the top noises and actions, at the same time I realize that real people generally don't act like that.

I appreciate the show runners attention to details. Putting stuff in to tease future arcs, adapting some cover stories, some of the complete unhinged behaviors of characters (Garp I'm looking at you!).

This show adapted Romance Dawn, orange town, syrup village, baratie, and arlong park.

There are so many moments that are almost scene by scene taken from the manga. Luffy in the barrel and meeting Koby. Alvida with her giant spike club. We got to see some pre-captured Zoro moments (particularly him killing a baroque works agent!), Nami being a sneak.

Then we meet the one and only clown Buggy! They hammed him up, they made him a showman and a real clown (with a real bulgy nose as well, props!). I loved Buggy. Goddamn what a show stealer. Excellent casting, his devil fruit was show cased so well and it looked good!

Usopp's introduction is the most changed. The kids are gone and the Black Cat pirates never call in the entire crew or Jango. Instead of the fight on the slope by the beach it's instead in Kaya's house from which they cannot escape. The actor for Kuro nailing the mannerism and hand movements, altho his "teleporting" looks a bit wonky.

With Baratie we are finally introduced to Sanji! Who's British now 😆. And Mihawk's introduction tho! Badass and just so over the top and goofy. I love him so much! This is where we got the biggest change where we instead get Arlong and crew coming in smashing the place up (a tiny bit). Arlong may not be as tall as he should be but I love the practical approach instead of CGI, which means he actually feels present! All the fishmen we see are guys in costume and prosthetics!

Arlong Park felt a bit more rushed than the earlier parts, but I do think they nailed *that* scene tho.

If the bar for live action adaptation was below the ground, I would say now there's a new bar, which is on the ground 😅. I think it's a solid show but it might be my bias talking. I do have some gripes tho.

One thing that was constant in East Blue Saga was how much village people hate or are scared of pirates. I think they got the marines right, and the pirates, but they failed to really have the village people be a character in their own right. In the manga and anime the villagers are mostly a monolith who will think and act alike in situations and be part of the happenings either by watching or fighting. We got just about none of it here, except a mention in Arlong Park. They did some really good and cool world building with lots of people populating the sets in the background - but that's it, they're just extras to fill out the screen. There are ofc a few exceptions but I felt it was not enough.

I wish they had Luffy be more agile when using his gum-gum powers. Whenever he springs a pistol or a whip is stands in place, which I found boring (and they did so well with Zoro's fights!). I do think the explanation is that they decided for Luffy to be coming into his powers as we go. That we will learn with him all the things he can do (him not knowing he can blow himself up like a balloon proves this). I hope that in season 2 (please netflix!) they show the growth in his fighting!

But to end this long post. I just wanna say how much I fucking love the dude playing Mihawk. Goddamn he's so fun. MVP.

For the straw hats, I would say that Usopp feels the closest to manga version, and Luffy feels the most distant from it. But I don't dislike this, and I think the actor for Luffy has so much potential to really make the role his own.

It will never be "just like" the manga and anime, but that's ok! It's a new adaptation (in live action) made by people you can tell loves the source material and really really tried to make it work! I respect that, and I respect this show. Please watch it on Netflix! It's a fun and silly time, just like it should be!

Photoshop coloring tutorial!

how to go from the original (left/bottom) to my coloring (right/top) - at least my method, as there are countless ways to adjust the coloring. this is gonna have a bunch of screenshots and gifs so under a cut to spare ppl's dashboards 😅

so let's start with the original gif:

obviously this coloring isn't ideal -- the dark colors of Gabi's basement don't offer much contrast with Gabi's skin tone, and the left side of her face is hidden by shadows. but I also want to do my best not to alter her skin tone. so I'm going to mess with a few options in adjustments. first, I definitely want to up the contrast

brightness can also help if the lighting is really minimal, but I usually find that messing with contrast is good enough! if you want to increase contrast, move the slider to the negatives; if you want to lessen contrast, move it to the positives. as I said, I want to up the contrast, so after doing that:

ok contrast has helped quite a bit! part of Gabi's face is still being obscured by shadows tho, so let's move on to curves -- this involves a lot of messing around, usually I go for a bit of an overcorrection, and then I can mess around with other adjustments to get it back closer to the original.

to mess with curves, just pull the line up or down in certain spots -- pulling it above the original line will increase brightness, pulling it below will decrease brightness. I usually end up with something like this -- pulling it up in the center and then back towards the original line near the ends.

it really is something you'll just have to experiment with -- be careful tho, the coloring can get so distorted if you stray too far from the original line or there are too many points where you alter its path. it's also the step that I'm most likely to exclude, it's one of the more finicky adjustments and can make too big of an alteration sometimes. given the original coloring being so dark for this scene tho, I wanted to use curves to help out with the contrast settings. anyway, the result after upping contrast and messing with curves:

this has done some more brightening! imo this is a huge improvement on the original, but I'd like to work on it a bit more. next I like to mess around with vibrance, just to make the coloring pop.

oops! Gabi is glowing, but now the background is looking a little weird (i.e yellowish)! let's do some color correction!

so depending on lighting in the actual piece of media, usually the original coloring leans yellow or blue (altho it may not be noticeable before messing with vibrance). if it leans yellow, I will up RGB; if it leans blue, I will up CMY. I've found it pretty rare to use other combos. usually, I think the coloring starts looking wonky if I pull the sliders much more than 20 in any direction, and it is color balance, I try to keep the three sliders within 5-10 notches of each other.

now the background is looking better! but levels can help us get a bit closer to the original, while still making things easier to see than the original video.

I usually pull the center slider up or down, depending on if I think I need to increase or decrease the brightness. usually I keep it within 0.80-1.20. the result after messing with levels:

and voila! we have reached the end result!

I hope this was interesting and/or helpful as it's my first time making a tutorial 💗

So, because this is the most fun piece of writing ive been working on, i want to share a sort of introductory piece for floating Castle mercenaries. Its not a complete chapter, but i personally find it fun. Will be put undercut so i dont have some long ass post in the middle of peoples feed. Also, while i did edit a few times, i had no help. So some things are wonky. Let me know if there's something you just flat out cant understand, and ask me questions (genuinely helps develop writing), and reblog. Id greatly appreciate.

FCM is set in a sort of fantasy setting with a mix of random modern elements (there's a whole thing with that, don't worry) and as they are mercenaries, its kind of a "villain of the week" type, altho I've yet to decide the whole plot.

@nekoazumie @wettthepottterheadss4120

"Kiri."

"Yeah?"

"Are you capable of explaining, rationally, why our home is floating?"

"Rationally?"

"Rationally."

"No."

Trist stomped their heel, turning to look at Kiri, who was looking up.

Their home, a four storey brick castle, was floating in the air, tethered by a set of ropes to a nearby tree, a very rickety ladder leading down from the front. Water also seemed to be cascading to the ground in strange clumps rather than a stream.

Trist cautiously moved to stand in the shade of the floating fortress, "With or without rationality, then."

"Well, alright. I was communing with Saphast, and she claimed to have sent me a gift. It was stuck in a tree, and rather than bother the rest of the company I decided to levitate myself up to get it."

Trist blinked at her slowly.

"As you can see, I may have overdone it."

With a heavy sighing, and a kick to the grass, "Where, pray tell, IS the rest of the company?"

Kiri tilted her head from side to side, "Well Meticulous seems to have disappeared far before the floating; Kalt decided to go look for you, evidently failing; Pell went to scavenge for something, no clue what; Tewq, Milan, and Rot all stayed up there, for their own reasons Individually."

Trist stood, head in their hand.

A shout coming from the far side of the canyon left by the floating building made them look up, exasperated.

Meticulous was approaching the two, walking the circumference of the hole, long legs swiftly carrying her around. 

"what the fuck happened here?"

Kiri sucked her teeth, "Well, an accident occurred."

"I see that."

The trio stood in quiet contemplation for a few more moments before Meticulous finally spoke, "So how are we supposed to get up there?"

Kiri points towards the rickety ladder; Trist placed their hands on their head, turning from the scene before them.

Meticulous walked towards the ladder, staring skyward, "How am I supposed to get up there?"

"Climb."

A beat of silence.

"Don't you have some special flying spell I can use?"

Trist turned quickly, "No."

Kiri grimaced insincerely, "Well…. That is how this problem started."

Looking at Kiri, glancing up the ladder, and looking back again, she said, "seriously?"

A nod.

"Huh. Didn't know you were that strong. Magically speaking, of course."

Within the course of the conversation Kalt had returned, "KIRI!"

The man running towards the group continued to yell "You were supposed to set off a flare if they were back."

"Oh, woops."

Kalt braced himself on his thighs, bent over and breathing heavy.

After a fair few minutes of contemplation and recovery, Kalt stood up, Trist was digging the heels of their hands into their eyes, Meticulous took a few contemplative laps around the ladder, leaving Kiri to look around for anything out of the ordinary.

Meticulous finally took a step onto the ladder, testing the strength of it, prompting Kiri to state, "It's enchanted." With that information, Meticulous took to climbing the distance to the castle.

Trist started to walk around the edge of the hole left behind, trying to get any clues to their situation.

They yelled back, "Hey, Kiri?"

"Yes?"

"What all have you done to try and get it down?"

"Well, threw some rocks. didn't work. I got Vervillians to pull at it with rope, which worked a bit, but it kept floating, and wasn't sustainable. Tried a levitation spell in reverse, now the water does that." She gestured at the clumped waterfall.

Picking up a rock, and turning it in their hand, Trist promptly threw the stone as far center as they could. The rock simply fell, knocking against a once buried boulder.

Looking over their shoulder to glare at Kiri, Trist began climbing into the hole. Kiri sat on the edge and lightly kicked her feet, watching Trist descend. Kalt continued to catch his breath, watching the caution amongst the chaos.

While most of the afternoon for the three was spent searching the area under the castle, Meticulous had met up with the rest of the company. She settled on watching Tewq and Milan play a game of pohgy, dodging when necessary, and being the referee, while Rot was baking snacks, bringing them out to the group.

Back down below, Trist had to flee back out of the crater, after the water that was no longer attached to the castle grounds became noticeable, flooding the crater.

Kalt had wandered a ways off, getting a good look at the situation as it currently stood. Kiri started plucking grass, and weaving it into bits and pieces of nothing.

Okay Tallstar plan ATM.

He's a...idk senator? House rep? Doesn't matter. Prob a senator bc longer term. So he's in office...starting around, say, 1980? He might have been in office for an earlier term, mind. I'm not sure.

Anyway, Mudfur is his. Like. Idk he's someone important to Tallstar professionally. He's also close personally via Deadfoot. (Is Deadfoot still alive? Deadfoot might b younger than Mudfur to get Crowpaw to work out LMAO this timeline is a mess don't question it. It's what happens when you stretch out a wonky timeline. Doesn't matter, I'll figure it out later, moving on.

Right so. Mudfur is gay — Tallstar knows, Mudfur knows Tallstar is gay, Deadfoot probably knows, no one else knows. Mudfur develops AIDS, which gets publicly noticed. Tallstar refuses to distance himself from Mudfur, leading to both their political careers being trashed.

Anyway. Mudfur dies after AZT is available, but it doesn't do much for him. Also it's toxic. Fun Times Folks.

Tallstar also contracts AIDS but I'm not sure how? Shh it's not actually hand waving I have a half formed answer but I don't. Let's go with All Of Wind Clan is Gay Now, as a shorthand.

Right so Tallstar does live through AZT into more effective and less Toxic Dosage treatments, altho he's not in great health at that point. How long does he live? That remains to be determined

I wanted to let you know about my own personal journey. It’s been on going for a while now. If you swipe left you will see my face from only a few years ago, that’s just a snap shot of one moment of course ! I’ve had a lot of fillers in and out - for a lot of reasons, some good, and some bad, some of them from the pressure of being online and my own insecurities, some from just being impulsive and just wanting it all 😂, some from times in my life I was struggling and hoping they would help me feel better. It’s never really been just one thing. Life, like everything is one HUGE lesson. We’ve all had a stupid hair cut or done something we look back on and wonder what we were thinking. I’ve been very lucky to have some of the best people work on my face over the years and one of the best is @effacebyroberta, she is the advocate of less is so much more and gives the best advice. So I’ve been visiting Dr Bassi while in the UK when I can and we began slooooowly resetting everything to scratch @selstoncosmetic has been taking out my fillers bit by bit, resetting myself to my natural face, which in its-self can be a mind fu*k as you just see an older face - which I know is stupid as I’ve been documenting this all - and it isn’t cheap to do this right. Of course fillers dissolve naturally but the issue is they don’t all dissolve at the same time so it’s a constant battle to stay in the game and not have a wonky face. This isn’t easy & I’ve been really frustrated at times. I’m excited to share my journey so far as it’s been all happening behind the scenes for quite a while and altho some people have noticed others haven’t. I’m always very open with you all and have no regrets, or have anything in my life to hide & although it’s scary putting yourself out there, regardless of the issue, this is something I’ve needed to do for myself for a LONG time - hopefully this will help someone else out there to be brave and make the changes you need to make. Now I’ve been finding other facials and options. @nude It’s been a long lesson but so worth it, I’ve learnt more about myself than I ever thought possible 💕 #growth (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxmlbmMBIY0/?igshid=hp1y977mmpz1

I’m always very open with you all and have no regrets, or have anything in my life to hide & although it’s scary putting yourself out there, regardless of the issue, this is something I’ve needed to do for myself for a long time - hopefully this will help someone else out there to be brave and make the changes you need to make. 💕 #growth

I wanted to let you know about my own personal journey. It’s been on going for a while now. If you swipe left you will see my face from only a few years ago, that’s just a snap shot of one moment of course ! I’ve had a lot of fillers in and out - for a lot of reasons, some good, and some bad, some of them from the pressure of being online and my own insecurities, some from just being impulsive and just wanting it all 😂, some from times in my life I was struggling and hoping they would help me feel better. It’s never really been just one thing. Life, like everything is one HUGE lesson. We’ve all had a stupid hair cut or done something we look back on and wonder what we were thinking ... I’m going to talk about this more soon because I get questions on them allllll the time. I’ve been very lucky to have some of the best people work on my face over the years and one of the best is @effacebyroberta in LA, she is the advocate of less is so much more and gives the best advice. So I’ve been visiting Dr Bassi while in the UK when I can ( as he was recommended online ) and we began slooooowly resetting everything to scratch @selstoncosmetic has been taking out my fillers bit by bit, resetting myself to my natural face, which in its-self can be a mind fu*k as you just see an older face - which I know is stupid as I’ve been documenting this all - and it isn’t cheap to do this right.
