How do you get that grainy texture on your art? It’s very nice!

thank you!! i love art that's soft and fuzzy...

i generally do it a handful of different ways, but i tend to bounce between a color noise filter layer in soft light mode, between 30% and 50% opacity,

... or i use something from my wide array of paper textures, and usually set the layer to overlay and play with opacity till i'm happy with it

......oooorr i do a combination of the two! which i did in the final version of this piece, which i Also added a gradient map to to make the colors a lil more ✨Dramatic✨

here's where i got (most of) my paper textures and here's a rainbow color noise texture (that i don't personally use but looks rlly similar!)

🟨 TUTORIAL: ━ How I make my Couple/Synced Poses!

Heya! 👋 @humberg asked about it in DMs and I thought it would be cool to make it a small-tutorial with visuals!

This is for fellow poses-modders, a step-to-step guide on how I make my Synced Poses; meaning poses that fits into each others

As always, this isn't THE way of doing it, just sharing my own workflow :3

Before anything tho I recommend checking the "Animation'' section of the Modding Wiki here, to grab xBaebsae's templates and get started on pose making!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I personally get references and inspiration from DAZ poses, couple/duo photography, or free-to-use references like @/grey-fuckers-unlimited here on Tumblr! I recommend checking their blog

I'll use my Carrying Pack as an example

First, I pose my Carrier / my main pose / my A pose

a rough posing first as I'll probably need to come back to it later to tweak it with Pose B

I save my .blend file as Carry01a and export it to .fbx!

I then open a new blender project, with the MA template, and import my Pose A FBX

I can now pose my Pose B to fit roughly into Pose A!

I save my .blend file, Carry01b, and export my Pose B to FBX as well, if I need to go back to my Pose A to tweak it a bit (especially the fingers)

And that's basically it :3 you can resume the regular pose making workflow, baking both poses in the non-linear tab in their respective .blend files and export them over your .glb container

If you keep the character from the Template in the center, the poses will Sync correctly in game!

I saw that Angy/xBaeBsae releazed a template with multiple armature in it, tho I haven't got the chance to play around with it just yet! :O But it should allow for an easier Couple Posing workflow

If you have any questions don't hesitate to poke into replies

Is merrily an accurate depiction of the musical theatre writing process

It is true that he goes 🎹🎹🎹

and I go 💻💻💻

but we do generally hum along, write a song, etc without interruption!

Less referentially/facetiously, it probably was in the 70s! I'm honestly neither old enough nor career-wise advanced enough to tell yet (I mean, I assume it's exaggerated and condensed for the genre, but all the talk of contracts/movies/critics seems pretty similar to what my professors are teaching us.) I think that musical theater as an industry is very different nowadays than when Sondheim was starting out (and not just in bad ways! For example, you don't have to be the white male protege of Hammerstein to have any hope of making it, lol). But the core themes of faith to one's convictions versus making money and friendship tangled with professional relationships in the art world are still as relevant as ever!

Tips on drawing scratch? Sounds like a weird ask but I cant figure out how his body bends. Is he a pillow sorta shape or how? I love ur art btw!!!

Anon you are completely valid it took me like six months to get his look just right (and even then he's still wildly off model lol) but I'll tell you how I do it! (Pillow/flour sack shape is a good way to describe him, especially when bending or laying flat) Just a disclaimer, I highly recommend you search up his model sheets and rules because I tend to gloss over and bend a few of them but if you're planning on drawing him more stylized, here's the rules I follow:

1: As with all characters I draw I start with a circle sketch, it's not necessary but it helps when drawing multiple characters to keep them around the same size in comparison with each other.

2: colored line art sucks, especially with this character because you have to make sure that if he has any overlapping parts with another character (say Molly has her arm around him or something), they're on separate layers which makes coloring a NIGHTMARE. I have no advice for that other than play around with it until it looks right to you

3: coloring can either be really fun and satisfying or a pain in the ass, again it's trial and error for what looks right to you

4: some more dynamic poses and fluid actions are super fun and what I get complimented on the most! Breaking the model sheet to push your expressions more is super fun once you get the hang of it, just try drawing a bunch of random squiggles and shapes and try to draw Scratch over them, it's a super fun exercise!

Like I said before I'm not the judge or end-all when it comes to drawing scratch so just have fun with it! Experiment! Maybe study how some other artists draw him! I know I greatly admire some of the ways some artists I know and even some crew members and storyboard artists draw him so definitely start looking at fanart for inspiration. Hope this helps, I'm not a very good teacher!

Hiya, hope you don't mind but I wanted to ask how you got the fish mouse cursor for your blog? Is it part of your theme, or did you add something to the code yourself?

to put a custom cursor on your blog, you need to:

find a cursor site, i chose this one

2. look for a cursor, in my case i chose the nemo one

3. copy the html for it

finally, paste the text under the <body tag on your blog!

GX Finalized-Subs!114 (WIP): Screaming into Place

Getting some work going to prep everything for finalizing my subs for GX 113 and 114, and as part of that, I thought I'd try to take a crack at an error that happens here which first turns up in 113's preview for 114, and then wasn't addressed in-episode, subsequently being kept by the dub too.

So, as Judai orders Neos to attack Professor Satou's Attack-Mode Scab Scarknight, Satou activates his Scab Scream Trap Card, which reduces the Battle Damage there to zero before letting Satou send Scarknight to his Cemetery/GY to destroy Neos and summon Crying Scarknight through it. The way it plays out, Satou declares the activation, tells Judai that he won't lose to him, and the card here glows as we fade into Scab Scarknight before it starts to glow and chip away, its pieces flying towards Neos and making him go boom.

But given that, I thought it an error because it doesn't really make sense for Scarknight to be the card glowing, since the effect Satou described isn't coming from it--and throughout the series, shots like this are used as a card's effect comes into play, typically as a Magic or Trap Card gets activated on the field. (And since it's in Attack Mode, Scarknight's card wouldn't be on the field with it [it'd be horizontally under it if it was in Defense Mode].)

So, I thought I'd apply some AfterEffects skills (and a Light Rays tutorial) to try and fix it, giving me what I have here after messing around for a few days (albeit very briefly each day bc work). First, I made a proxy for Scab Scream in Photoshop, then CC-Power-Pinned it into place in AE with some color correction and light blurring. After that, I tried to see if any YouTube creators made AE tutorials on lighting up a card like the original shot, to no avail; most of them were around setting and then flipping cards up in 3D, which while useful wasn't quite the goal, lol. So, I found one on the CC Light Rays effect and was able to play around with it enough to get something that I liked in replicating the original glow here decently.

To account for the fade into Scarknight, I took this into Sony Vegas, where I faded it into about 12-14 frames of Scarknight post-fade that I reused (the original shot actually loops it some too--the dub, meanwhile, hilariously faded into a still shot of Scarknight because of how they dubified the card, and you can tell because his aura suddenly jumpstarts). I then played it a few times (or 20) with the audio from the episode to make sure I felt it natural with the SFX and all, lol.

But overall, hopefully that looks good! Not as 1:1 as I'd like, and if anyone has dabbled in AE for things like this, it would be nice to make it a bit more similar (I would've liked a way to make a few points on the art light up rather than just the total center, for example [and it did make sense to center it on Scarknight's body in the Scream art], or try to recreate the glowing lines around the card more [which I couldn't really keep due to the fade to Scarknight]). I did toy with the idea of masking out the original light-up spots for use with a new solid-color layer to redo them some, or masking Scarknight out from Scab Scream's art and making a light-up glowing effect from that, but wasn't really feeling how those were coming out. But that said, I think this'll work nicely enough--though yeah, open to improvements on the off-chance anyone else has dabbled with making cards glow like this in AE, lol.

how do you make stupid cupid logo if you don’t mind me asking 😣💕

AINE ˳ ⠀⠀⠀ ok so hopefully i explain it well, but you'll need photoshop / photopea for it! btw, you need to have at least some knowledge of how to work around photoshop! i'm going to put the tutorial under the cut &lt;3

to achieve your words to look like this :

i first wrote 'STUPID' as i normally do, however, i selected the 'TUPID' part of the words and went to 'TOGGLE CHARACTERS' icon ( as seen in the screenshot underneath )

click on it, find this icon ( named 'SUPERSCRIPT' ) and select only that

this is how the words would usually look vs the superscript version :

next thing i had to do, is write 'UPID' part of 'CUPID'! now i do it a little bit more complicated than it's supposed to be, but i go right-click in the layers and go to 'QUICK EXPORT AS PNG'

i'd then place that saved png on the header, and before i click actual 'PLACE' i press on 'FLIP HORIZONTAL' which will turn the words the way i want them to

like so!

i then resized it so it's the same as 'TUPID', then placed it on the lower bottom of the big 'S'. after that it was quite easy, i just added the shadow on all words, and found cute png that would match my group's "vibes". for the lock, i needed to delete a small part of the png so it looks like it's going over the letter ( same thing for the arrow because you could see a shadow going over the 'S' unless i deleted it / but you can simply put it behind the letter if you don't wanna delete anything )

after that, i just put the psd on to make it look cuter and fixed the photo of the header. and that's a wrap! hopefully, this helped you anon, but if you don't have / use photoshop, there's a free version of it, called photopea and you can basically do the same things there!

Hey Addi! Happy 2024!! Just wondering, what do you use to make gifs? I’m trying to be more creative this year so I thought I’d try my hand at that but I have no idea where to start 🙈 Thanks love x

hi kate! happy new year right back at you! 🍾🎉🎆

getting into making gifs can be a bit daunting and there's like. a billion ways to do it (and even more tutorials), but listing the programs i (and probably?? many more) us should be a good start :)

i use Daum PotPlayer (to get those juicy frames) (i hate the "convert video into frames" function in ps - it's wonky and never works properly) (so i'm doing it manually) and Photoshop CC 2015 (to actually create and edit the gifs)

you can download potplayer for free and it's a really nice and handy program by itself (100x times better than windows media player lmao). photoshop on the other hand.. well. it's expensive. but there are... ways (iykyk). i actually can't remember where i got mine from; i've been using it for ages. but i think there are older ps versions you can download for free.

there are a lot of tutorials and helpful posts on that matter on this hellsite. the gif maker community is huge and they/we love to share our knowledge! just google "tumblr gif making tutorial" and you should get plenty of posts and tutorials of how things work :D (that's how i started out too!)

i hope this helps! x
