Hi!

I hope you don’t mind me messaging but I just wanted to let you know that your mobile links don’t work in your description :(

I also wanted to ask you something. If I was to buy an Omega X album, would the money go to Spire Entertainment? If so, I’d rather not buy it for obvious reasons.

Do you know if there’s anything international fans can do to support them?

Thanks in advance for your reply. Have a lovely day/evening :)

Would you mind giving me a few more details about the mobile links? I tested them from the Tumblr mobile app on Samsung, and from the tumblr.com/omegaxmasterlist blog view on desktop and they both worked. However, when I viewed my blog from a mobile browser, the links redirected and opened the Tumblr app instead of the blog page... If that last scenario is your problem, I'll do some digging and try to fix that.

As for the albums and Spire, the answer will depend on where you buy your albums from.

[OH DEAR GOD I NEVER POSTED MY RESPONSE TO THIS ASK OH NO ANON PLEASE FORGIVE ME???? CHRIST]

I'd suggest looking for albums on ebay or amazon, or looking for other FOR X who are selling their albums on twitter, instagram, etc.! Buying secondhand is the best way to avoid giving Spire any new profits. And often you can find sealed albums being sold, so it'll feel just like brand new :)

*However I will say, given the ongoing legal issues, I have literally no idea if Spire is even still making money... Honestly I was surprised that they performed "Play Dumb" at those basketball and soccer games because I thought Spire would own the rights to all their music and usage of it. Now I'm obviously no Korean copyright law expert, but I have to say this feels like a good sign, right? Again, I don't know... but I'm hopeful that OMEGA X will be able to retain the legal rights to everything they did and made under Spire, and that Spire won't make a single penny off those boys every again.

"Do you know if there’s anything international fans can do to support them?" Well that's kind of a big question... and maybe I'm not the best person to ask because I truly don't care about streaming or voting (most of the time) or numbers and charts and shit... To ME, the best way to support them is just to love them. Listen to their music, keep an eye on @.omega_x__for_x for any upcoming schedules, and show them that FOR X will be here waiting for them no matter how long it takes. Besides that there really isn't anything we can do. Just promise that as a FOR X, you won't let the world forget about OMEGA X.

@v011d asked; “ What do you mean I’m too old for trick - or - treating? “

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ— Evan radiated a warmth around Lupin that she just couldn't bring about with anyone else. No one made her feel like the flame within her was made for that, the way that he did. She could bring herself to look past The Monster when his eyes were on her, when he spoke... It was like his belief in her was contagious. All she really wished for in this moment together with him was that he could see that, see the good she found so easily whenever her eyes landed on him.

In this case, she just thought it was sweet that he still wanted to go trick-or-treating. She missed that aspect of Halloween a lot, too.

Still, "I guess there's no real age limit... Not that I know of, anyways," she said thoughtfully, taking her eyes briefly off him to direct them at the sky full of stars above them, "I just don't know if everyone would be nice to you about it- people are mean like that. I'd hate to have to yell at someone for you." Given her typically soft-spoken nature, the idea was pretty laughable when she said it out loud. Didn't stop her from meaning it any less, at least. She would do it if she needed to.

DUUUUUUUUUUDE your alcohol marker works r SO sick i saw that sequence of process pics u had and my mind was just Blown . can you elaborate more on ur process ?!?!? /nf

hello ! thank you for your kind words. i apologize for taking a while to answer this. the process of coloring the drawing i did as an example was rocky, and ive been busy with school.

i'll preface this by saying that i have a few posts with process pictures on twitter (i treat it as a wip dump when i remember to post). heres one of the few where the pics are all together, but my media tab has a fair amount scattered around.

this is going to be long, so i'm putting the 'read more' here.

step 0 : sketch. i start with blue erasable pencil, lighten it, and do my lineart with a mechanical pencil.

step 1 : base color. half frivolously chosen as a neutral color to set it off from the white of the paper, half "whats the color of the light / the lightest color being reflected by the material its cast on"

im going to stop numbering the steps. i immediately went too dark with the hair and failed to consider the strength of the light in the setting / how reflective hair is. also i colored the basic color of the eyes and the rough shadow under the jaw. dont get attached to any of this.

broke out the "ph. martin's bleed proof white paint" my mom gave me a jar of years ago. it does well enough at bringing back light, but the texture youre left with is not ideal. lightly shaded the face skin with a similar color. i also blocked in the rough color for the suit jacket and tie here. the marker doesnt have to be evenly applied because you'll be going back over in enough layers that it'll even out.

i wish i stopped here.

things start to go off the rails. painted over his eyes because "why did i give him double eyelids" tried to paint over just the eyelids. didnt go well. scorched earth. reshaded the hair, deepened shading on the face and neck, started on the shirt, and applied a cursory pass of shadow on the jacket. the light angle does not remain consistent with this.

redrew the eyes. the angle feels uncanny. i wish he was still looking at his phone but the paint is not taking ink well and i doubt another layer would make it better. at some point i applied rough shadow to the hands. dont worry about the inconsistent lighting.

darkened the eyes so they were less creepy. didnt work. i assume the ink bled (alcohol ink soaks into paper, but since this is now on top of white paint, it just sits on top and pools out), so i embellished with posca marker to cover it up.

realized that with the length of the shadow the brow ridge was casting, the hair should cast a shadow too. light source starting to be established.

im really sorry. i didnt realize there was such a drastic jump between this one and the prior photo. basically, i started defining edges and areas of deepest shadow. fine edge definition was done with the cheapest ballpoint pen i own. dark marker blends fairly well, but only put it where you WANT it to be that dark, and blend outward from there to darken surrounding areas. many, many layers of grey and light blue, brown and darker brown for the jacket. now that i had a vague idea of the light source, i just had to place the shadows and follow the folds. hitting the points of shadow with brown (base color but darker + warm tinge to suit base color) and blue (reflected light).

this also wouldve been a fine stopping point.

used posca to outline the edge of the face + sharpen edges. added more pupil-spots. messed up the mouth some more. whatever. calling it done here because the jacket looks good and the face is freaking me out.

overall, i treat alcohol marker like watercolor. a big wash of color, rough base colors. roughly block in shadows, gradually add washes of deeper shadow. define edges. etc.

its harder to blend colors directly than with watercolor but thats nothing more layering cant fix. and then white paint if layering doesnt work. and then more layering.
