GIFS BEFORE AND AFTER COLORING | tagged by @miyawaki 💗

back at it again...not that much has changed since last time i did this, but a couple things have! the main thing is that now, i finally use set black point and set white point in curves. it def cuts out a lot of time and trouble as far as color correcting stuff goes. i always put the curves layers at the very bottom under the base psd i use (which is here, for anyone that wants to look at it! sorry for the mess.....i cannot overstate that.) i still do a lot of dragging the hand up and down on color curves based on where i need more or less of a certain color, but set black and white point has been a life saver lately.

once again, i have the stuff i major color corrected more on the right side and “regular normal” examples of my coloring on the left side. i always crank up the saturation on this shit, women want me, washed out videos fear me and then i also kinda nerf yellows into the ground...but i add more yellows in at the end! i used to make skin way too red imo but now sometimes i make things too yellow...happy medium when...but my base psd tends to fail when there are a lot of reds and yellows because it just makes everything the same color and is very unfortunate, so i do still make coloring from scratch sometimes even though i barely remember how to do it anymore. tragic. i also tend to make blacks darker/negative offset. by default my psd has a ton of contrast but i usually tone it down because it can make faces too pale for my liking.

another recent development that has given me a coloring identity crisis from time to time is the curves 1 layer in the green cyan coloring folder (if you look at the psd i linked.) this curves layer does some funky stuff. it kinda makes whites greyer and shadows darker and other things i can’t explain...but sometimes it looks really bad! and so i’ve recently learned sometimes the play is toggling it off LMAO and it makes things look super different, to the point that when i first started doing that i was like who am i....is this even my coloring anymore...because i think that layer is a big part of what makes my coloring look unique! regardless though, we always still love red and cyan in this house and i can’t imagine that trademark of mine changing anytime soon.

not me writing an essay on this instead of working on the actual essay i have due this week i’ll tag @spearbin @agibbangs @minzbins @hyunchanz @wonjinist @jisungs  @gu9udan @minijeong @seo-trashbins @jizung and anyone else who wants to do this and if u already did it show me i wanna see but no pressure to do it as always!!

🎉 NEW GAME: Introduce your mutuals to everyone and what do you think of them? 🎉

oH HEY! Looks like I missed this one question. Let introduce you to my awesome mutuals @riniloves : Rini are you still here? I miss you! Met Rini back then in 2010~2012 (?) We both loved LuluCC (Code Geass) and Kuraneon HxH)! Apparently, our prediction about LuluCC living together has became true in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;Surrection(2019), despite many oddities present and debates. So did Sessrin in Inuyasha. Awesome huh!

@unuxunu : My fellow OT3 Kuraneokuro shipper. Sweetest person I’ve met in the internet! I met her in ffnet in 2020 when I thought I was the only one left on this earth who actively shipped Kuraneon.(thanks Marriage of Convenience fic) We both are kinda inactive and moving on to another fandom now, but I will never forget the moment bitter world has turned sweet when I am with you T^T We created so much things together. Also she invented the idea of cloud gallery of our OT3 religion... What can I do without you girl? @senorita-jackalope : oh girl where are you? My fellow Kuraneon shipper and fellow Neon lover(YES WE ARE GAY FOR NEON SLURP SLURP). We also created so much things together. Unfortunately she deactivated her blog. Hope you will come back someday senorita-jackalope. @nikushimi-wa-kienai : Also my fellow Kuraneon shipper. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for this ship. Your works has inspired me to be active in this subfandom ^_^ @fluffygreenkoala : My fellow Kuroneon shipper! Your ideas has helped me created many beautiful Kuroneon art, thank you so much! (And they got 30+ likes and bookmark in Japanese art platform, yay to our teamwork!) @thelovelyghostwriter : If people are looking for something new to worship, now this is the mutual I would recommend to them! Because girl, I LITERALLY WORSHIP YOUR WORKS!!!! (STRANGE BEDFELLOWS, everyone, also @hunterexamcheatsheet). I remembered when you first commented in my MoC fic, my first impression was “Wow I like this girl, she is smart.”. But man you were more than just smart. You literally materializes what I tried to envision for the last 20 years(yes including the innocence day where I didn’t know the term HATESEX yet) and I am so thankful for your presence. I’m so glad someone finally gets the logic of my theory. Pure Genius Girl. Lion-vomiting-water country didn’t ranks third globally in time spent on homework for nothing in 2014. huh? So many things we did together : fanfic, perfecting Kuraneon theory, and punching bullies virtually. As citizen of neighbouring countries, we have close timezone and communicate a lot too beyond just ships.

@bat-belen : Fellow Kuraneon and Kuroneon shipper. Thanks for filling in gap time when I wasn’t active with Kuraneo Week 2021 ^_^ Also thanks for making art of my OTP. Hope you’re always healthy and well! @dukina : Hi Kina! How are you ^_^ I haven’t seen you around in my dash(and I checked you’re hiatus atm)  I hope you’re doing fine there. Dukina is the first to introduce me to selfship (Oh yea, meet my husband Pariston Hill). It’s fun in the office when both our husbands are present! Her beautiful purple blog is so iconic.

@itsmyara : No.1 HisoMachi shipper! We have same view when it comes to fandom and I’m so inspired by her because not only writing fanfic, Myara also drew and make moodboards. I stumbled upon Myara when I first read her Kuraneon fic in AO3. I don’t speak  Brazilian Portuguese  so I used google translate to read it. And boy the fic is so good that I must now admit that I downloaded it.

@cocogum : Coco first approached me regarding my “Neon alive” theory and honestly I REALLY APPRECIATE that. So many people shut down that possibility before even reading the argument or understanding both Kurapika and Hisoka’s characer. Plus we’ve seen Togashi’s false narrative in writing more than TWICE (Ging’s death by Mito and Kite death by Neferpitou). so thank you so much Coco! Coco writes theory and makes cool edits @cautionworks (CMIIW and sorry if it’s not you) so you guys should check it out. Another initial thought is WOW Coco ships Killuretz! I’m so happy my Killuretz art got appreciation after being dusty for a long time in dA!  @cybercowboyduck : My POKESHIPPING fellow! We’ve only met like two or three weeks ago but we had a 34 pages+ of discussion already I think?? Thank you so much for supporting my artworks and article!! Also for filling in informations and trend where I was a silent reader in Pokeani fandom. I love how calm you react to bullies in this bully-prone area lol @hollylu-ships-it : Hi Holly, I hope you don’t mind me tagging you in this although we rarely interact. When I first checked your account. Wow, actually I already consumed your fanarts since back then, when I wasn’t active in Pokeani fandom. (Your Pokeshipping motorcyle date.)  Thank you so much for reblogging my SunMo article ^_^ I love your art and blog so much! @barbiedisneyavenger @fierydense @ultimateoptimus Hey new mutuals! Nice to meet you. We rarely interact but it seems that we share common interest.  Hope y’all healthy and safe wherever you are. Cheers! Sorry I can’t be short about this, I really appreciate you guys for sharing the same taste in ships and character with me.

For you I apologize if my blog isn’t up to expectations. I take no personal offense if you ever unfollow me due to my non-fandom/personal post that I rb/posted.(Also cause sometimes I reply to discourse) . After all we all have to take care of our own mental health.

I am just indulging in the present about how blessed I am to have wonderful internet mutuals :)
