#Blending colors

[nebulacritter]

i've finally learned how to blend colors correctly

The blending on Evol's body was kinda horrible in that last post, so I decided to watch a YouTube tutorial to help myself blend better. It turns out it worked perfectly, and that's how I made this beautiful sunset orb.

If ya wanna know how I did it, I went into Krita, chose the Q-Tip blending tool, and rubbed it back and forth horizontally on this orb.

The green pullover trick is basically the same fix you use in knitting when you've got two different dye lots of the same color.

Gray and minimally different hue of gray: jarring, awful, is that water damage?

Gray, thin band of [green], minimally different hue of gray: one shade of gray with a band of contrast, 10/10 deliberate design choice.

The alternative is knitting with two colors held together so you get a subtle ombre from one shade into the next.

And before someone points back at the nice goth having their look ruined by different dyes: they can either replace some garments with a perfectly decent deep purple, blood red or cyanide green, or throw over a black fishnet top to help blend the colors.

i hate when my black doesn't match my black

Have some Replica Leo for Round 2 of the @tmntfashioncompetition! This time the theme is: "Traditional Garment." I’ll be up against @villainleoau and I’m nervous cuz that’s a STELER crew and some of the most talented artists in the fandom (also their fashion sense is off the charts)!

For the art I decided to lean into some traditional Japanese attire and a prosthetic more befitting of the era. Originally I was just going to have Leo's missing arm be covered, but if he wants to be truly capable with a katana he'd need something to help keep the sheath affixed when removing his sword. This is especially necessary for duels, since the speed and pressure applied from the drawing of the sword are imperative. I imagine he has several more varying tools he can screw onto his arm in the little side pack. Also note, the Kanji means "ninja" or "ninpo" and the finer hiragana text is the infamous "You are not alone" line. I had a lot of fun with this one, trying to decide if maybe I should put it up for print.

Some of my inspo under the cut:
