Backstory.

Devran Şahin was born with the weight of a legacy on his shoulders. As the firstborn son of Ahmet Şahin, the infamous leader of the Society—a New York-based syndicate renowned for its mastery of art heists and elaborate thefts—Devran’s future was set in stone. From an early age, he was groomed to one day take the reins of his father’s empire. But being the heir to such an empire wasn’t simply a privilege; it was a burden.

The Golden Son

Growing up in the lap of luxury, Devran had everything that money could buy. He attended the finest schools and spent weekends cruising through exclusive parties with his charming smile, tousled hair, and a reputation as the ultimate trust-fund playboy. To the outside world, Devran was the golden child—charming, carefree, and always the center of attention at New York’s most elite gatherings. He was a man of paradoxes: polished and graceful by day, a reckless adventurer by night. Yet, beneath the surface of high society’s glittering veneer, Devran was being carefully shaped for a very different kind of future. His father, Ahmet, had a singular vision for his son. He was to inherit the Society, yes, but only if he proved worthy. There was no room for weakness, no space for indulgence. Devran’s upbringing wasn’t filled with soft lessons of privilege; instead, it was a strict training regimen that taught him the art of manipulation, the power of charm, and the precision needed to execute high-profile heists without leaving a trace. While his classmates were focused on getting into Ivy League schools, Devran was absorbing blueprints of art museums, studying security systems, mastering sleight-of-hand techniques, and learning how to read people like an open book. Every lesson was designed to sharpen his mind and prepare him for the world of shadows and deceit that ran beneath the glittering surface of New York.

There was a time, however, when Devran considered escaping the life his father had planned for him. He dreamt of running away with his lover, starting fresh somewhere far from the shadows of his family’s empire. But his father swiftly put an end to that idea—and the relationship—when he found out. "You will not embarrass this family," Ahmet had said, his voice seething with fury. That moment was a sharp reminder to Devran: no matter where his heart wandered, he was bound to the legacy of the Şahins.

A Mother’s Love and a Father’s Shadow Devran’s mother, Defne Şahin, was the heart of the family—a beacon of warmth in a world that often felt cold and calculating. Her love for art, culture, and humanity influenced Devran deeply. She shielded him from the harsh realities of their world as much as she could, nurturing his creative side and allowing him to dream of a life outside the shadows. Her sudden death during the COVID-19 pandemic shattered the delicate balance in Devran’s life. Losing her was like losing the light that guided him. For his father, Ahmet, Defne’s death marked a turning point. Grieving in silence, he poured his focus into preparing Devran for leadership. What had once been subtle grooming became a relentless campaign to shape his son into a worthy successor. Ahmet’s philosophy was simple: the Society’s leadership couldn’t be handed down—it had to be earned. And for Devran, this meant proving himself in ways that few could ever imagine.

The Test: A Rite of Passage

As Devran came of age, the weight of his family’s expectations grew unbearable. Ahmet had carefully crafted his son’s education, but now it was time for Devran to prove himself as more than just an heir. One of the leaders stepped down so it was time for him to show he was ready to lead, to command the loyalty of the Society, and to navigate the dangerous currents of the criminal world. To do so, Ahmet devised the ultimate test—a trial that would push Devran to his breaking point. The job was monumental: a grand heist that would secure an artifact held in the private collection of a rival gang leader. If Devran could pull it off, the Society would bow to him. If he failed, it would prove he was not worthy of his father’s empire. But the test wasn’t just about skill; it was about leadership, decision-making under pressure, and the ability to take responsibility for the consequences of his actions. What Devran didn’t know was that the heist was also a trap. His father had carefully orchestrated everything to challenge his son's resolve, forcing him to make impossible choices. He would have to outwit rival gang members, deal with internal betrayals, and face the harsh reality of the criminal world’s unpredictability. It was a trial by fire—a way for Ahmet to see whether Devran could endure the pain of loss and still rise above it.

The Heist

The night of the heist, Devran took control. He led the operation with the precision and intellect that had been drilled into him over the years. Every move was calculated, every detail meticulously planned. Yet, despite the flawless execution of the plan, everything was thrown into chaos. The rival gang had anticipated the Society’s moves, and betrayal came from within Devran’s own ranks. One of his most trusted friends, someone he had known his whole life, turned on him, leaking vital information to the enemy. Devran was forced to improvise, adapting quickly as the walls closed in. He made split-second decisions to protect his team and salvage the job, but in the process, several members of the Society were lost. The heist, though ultimately successful, came at a steep price. Devran’s heart weighed heavy with the loss of loyal men, and the bitter sting of betrayal remained long after the dust settled. The heist had secured the artifact, and with it, a massive victory for the Society. But the cost—both in lives and trust—was a harsh reminder of the brutal reality of leadership.

Proving His Worth

When Devran returned from the operation, his father was waiting. Ahmet did not offer congratulations, nor did he offer sympathy. Instead, he simply asked, "Was it worth it?" The silence that followed was thick, heavy with expectation. Devran had passed the test—he had shown he could lead under pressure, outsmart rivals, and manage the harsh realities of his world. But his father’s cold gaze reminded him that leadership came at a price. Devran now knew that he would never be the carefree, charming playboy again. He had stepped into the role of the leader, but the mantle was heavy, and there was no going back. Ahmet’s approval came in the form of a simple nod. "You’re ready." Devran had earned his place at the head of the Society, but it was not a victory he could celebrate. His heart was marked by the loss of his people, the betrayal of those he trusted, and the cold understanding that in the world of the Society, loyalty was as fragile as glass. Now, as the leader of the gang, Devran knew he had only just begun. The true test was not in the heists he would pull off, but in how he would keep his empire intact, with the weight of every decision hanging over him.

The Weight of Legacy

With his father’s endorsement and the support of the organization, Devran stepped into the role he had been groomed for since birth. Leadership, however, came with its own challenges. The Society was a network of individuals bound by loyalty, respect, and fear. Devran had to navigate complex relationships, balance tradition with innovation, and maintain the Society’s dominance in a world that was changing rapidly. Devran also faced the challenge of uniting an organization built on loyalty to his father. He had to prove that he was not just Ahmet Şahin’s son but a leader in his own right—one who could protect the Society from its rivals and guide it into a new era. Though he projects confidence, inside he wrestles with self-doubt, guilt over his mother’s death, and the pressure to prove himself worthy of the Şahin name. His charm and resourcefulness are his greatest assets, allowing him to unite the Society under his leadership while keeping up appearances in the world of high society. Yet, his true test lies ahead: surviving the gang war and ensuring the Society emerges stronger than ever.

Howdy ! I love your gifs so much, they are so precious. Could you give us your little secrets for making them? My gifs are always "dirty" and I would really like to be able to make good quality ones like yours. luv (If it doesn't bother you, of course)

Hey, thank you!

I honestly don't think I have any special secrets when it comes to gif making. Just sort of perfecting the basic techniques that I picked up throughout the years (I've been using photoshop for nearly 20 years agdfgfdg).

The best advice (and the hardest) I can give is to practice. Try out new things! What helped me improve tremendously throughout the years was just trying new tutorials, especially the new trends on tumblr. Pastel gifs, vibrant gifs, cut outs, blending, etc. I have some resources of my own here, but I honestly don't think I'm that great at explaining myself. There are some other gif masters that I admire and look up to and they've written some really great tutorials, especially on how to color and make gifs look bright and colorful! Like this one from Becca, or this one from Jagoda, or this one from Ava.

Other than that, it's the very simple basics. Make sure you're using the right dimensions, find sharpen settings that work the best for your footage, and try to befriend the adjustment layers! Good luck!

Top 5 Painting Techniques You Can Learn in Zenith of Art’s Painting Classes

Painting is more than just applying colors to a canvas—it is an exploration of creativity and expression. Whether you are new to painting or looking to sharpen your skills, Zenith of Art's painting classes provide the perfect opportunity to develop techniques that bring your vision to life. Here are five painting techniques you will learn in these classes that will help you build confidence and skill in your artistic journey.

1. Blending for Smooth Transitions

Blending is one of the most crucial techniques an artist needs to learn to create soft, seamless transitions between colors. Whether using acrylics, oils, or watercolors, it is essential to master this technique to achieve realistic shading, glowing light effects, and depth in artwork. At Zenith of Art, the instructors will walk you through how to use various brushes and tools to merge colors smoothly, thus creating gradients that add dimension and realism to your paintings.

2. Layering for Depth and Detail

Layering is an important part of building a painting from a simple sketch to a detailed masterpiece. Applying multiple layers of paint helps artists build rich textures and depth in their work. Zenith of Art teaches how to balance opacity and transparency, ensuring each layer complements the next. This technique is particularly useful for creating depth in landscapes, portraits, and abstract compositions.

3. Impasto for Bold Texture

Impasto is a great technique for making brushstrokes stand out, especially for those who love expressive and textured art. This technique applies thick layers of paint on the canvas to create a dynamic, three-dimensional effect. Students learn how to use palette knives and brushes at Zenith of Art to build texture in their paintings, making them stand out.

4. Glazing for Depth and Contrast

Glazing is the application of very thin, transparent layers of paint over dry layers to create depth and luminosity. This is often used for color vibrancy and details refinement. The Zenith of Art instructors teach the students how to mix glazes effectively and bring richness and contrast to their work. This is particularly valuable to artists who would like to refine their paintings with delicate color variations.

5. Dry Brush for Subtle Effects

The dry brush technique is ideal for adding texture and soft details. Using a brush with minimal paint and no water, artists can create a scratchy, broken effect that is excellent for painting grass, wood textures, and atmospheric elements. This technique is simple yet effective, and Zenith of Art's classes ensure that students understand how to control brush pressure and movement to achieve the desired effect.

Final Thoughts

Painting classes in Zenith of Art's hand-on techniques include five crucial ones, thus students can confidently become artists. Whichever way one wants their painting to come out, realism or abstract expressionism, for example, it will all begin from these basic techniques. In guided practice, you will develop your ability to skillfully put into life what's in your head on a piece of paper or canvas.

Yoga’s Evolution in 2025: What’s Next?

Yoga has long been more than just a form of exercise or a way to relax. For millions, it has evolved into a way of life. As we look toward 2025, yoga is on the cusp of a significant transformation—one that blends time-honored traditions with modern innovations designed to meet a diverse array of needs. Whether you’re seeking a deeper spiritual journey, aiming to boost your creativity, or looking to energize both body and mind, yoga is poised to meet you exactly where you are.

Yoga for Self-Discovery and Spiritual Growth In today’s fast-paced world, more and more people are turning to yoga as a way to reconnect with themselves. It’s not just about stretching; it’s a practice that centers the mind, aligns you with your deeper purpose, and helps you find balance. Kundalini Yoga is gaining traction, focusing on awakening dormant energy at the base of the spine. With a blend of breathwork, chanting, and dynamic movements, it offers a powerful path to inner peace and heightened awareness.

Another growing trend is meditative yoga practices—slow, flowing classes where each movement is linked to mindfulness. These practices allow you to enter a meditative state without having to sit still for long periods. Sound healing is also gaining ground, with more studios incorporating sound baths, mantras, and sacred chants to calm the mind and deepen the spiritual connection.

Energetic Practices Take Center Stage Yoga is shifting focus, moving beyond mere relaxation and toward harnessing and balancing energy within the body. Many of these emerging practices are designed to invigorate the spirit while calming the mind. Chakra alignment classes, focused on balancing the body’s energy centers, are becoming increasingly popular. These sessions often incorporate specific poses, colors, and affirmations to activate and harmonize each chakra.

For those seeking a more high-energy practice, styles like Power Yoga and Vinyasa Flow integrate techniques like pranayama (breath control) to boost energy flow and simultaneously calm the mind. Another growing trend is bioenergetic movement, which blends yoga with somatic therapy to release pent-up emotional energy stored in the body, fostering a deeper connection with one’s inner self.

Yoga Meets Creativity Yoga and creativity have always been closely linked. Increasingly, people are using their practice to tap into their creative potential. Fusion classes combining yoga with activities like dance, art, and writing are gaining popularity, offering a unique way to break free from mental blocks and spark new ideas.

Instructors are also using guided visualizations in classes to help students unlock their creativity. Whether imagining themselves painting a masterpiece or crafting a story, these visualizations help practitioners tap into their creative flow while moving through poses. Specialized workshops for creatives—such as “Yoga for Writers” or “Yoga for Entrepreneurs”—are on the rise, providing a space for people to overcome creative obstacles and recharge.

The Future: Blending Old and New 2025 will see a blending of traditional yoga practices with modern innovations. Yoga isn’t about choosing one over the other—it’s about embracing both. By maintaining its cultural roots and welcoming contemporary ideas, yoga is evolving in exciting new ways. Tech-assisted yoga is becoming more widespread, with apps offering real-time feedback and virtual reality experiences that transport practitioners to serene environments. Technology is making yoga more accessible and engaging than ever before. Meanwhile, breathwork is becoming a core element in many yoga classes. Techniques like alternate nostril breathing or skull-shining breath are helping practitioners detoxify, energize, and sharpen their focus.

Yoga for Community and Wellness Yoga is also rediscovering its power as a unifier. Group classes, festivals, and retreats are all about building a sense of community. These shared experiences amplify the practice’s energy and foster deeper connections among practitioners. In 2025, yoga festivals and retreats will focus on collaboration and shared growth, often incorporating activities like group cooking or co-creating art alongside yoga practice. These events will offer opportunities for participants to strengthen bonds and energize each other in new and creative ways. Inclusivity remains a priority in the yoga world, with many studios offering adaptive classes or sliding-scale pricing to ensure everyone has access to the practice’s benefits.

The Role of Yoga in Health and Prevention Yoga’s holistic approach to wellness is increasingly recognized in healthcare. It’s becoming an essential tool for managing stress, alleviating chronic pain, and preventing illness. Yoga’s ability to reduce stress is well-documented, with restorative yoga and yoga nidra (yogic sleep) standing out for their ability to improve sleep quality and help people unwind. For those dealing with chronic pain, therapeutic yoga is emerging as a non-invasive option. It targets specific areas of tension and helps practitioners shift their relationship with pain. In the corporate world, yoga is also making its mark. More companies are integrating yoga into their wellness programs to improve focus, reduce burnout, and support overall employee health.

Yoga in 2025 represents an exciting journey of evolution, fusion, and deep connection. Whether your goal is to deepen your spiritual awareness, invigorate your body, or ignite creativity, yoga offers something meaningful for everyone to explore. As this transformative practice continues to evolve, it remains a timeless and invaluable tool for personal growth—blending ancient wisdom with the endless possibilities of the future. So whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, now’s the perfect time to embrace what’s next. Roll out your mat, take a deep breath, and dive in—the future of yoga is unfolding right before you. Ready to begin your journey? Check out our schedule and reserve your spot today!

Why Permanent Makeup Artists Should Practice on Latex

Are you an aspiring or experienced permanent makeup artist looking to hone your skills? One of the most essential tools for mastering your craft is latex skin. Whether you’re refining your technique or learning new styles, practicing on latex can significantly enhance your confidence and proficiency. Here’s why practicing on latex is an indispensable step in becoming a successful permanent makeup artist:

1. Realistic Practice Canvas

Latex skin offers a lifelike texture, closely mimicking real human skin. This gives permanent makeup artists the chance to practice techniques like shading, hair strokes, and precision without working on an actual client. MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy ensures that all students get hands-on experience with latex to sharpen their skills safely.

2. Master Your Tools

Your tools are extensions of your artistry. Practicing on latex helps you familiarize yourself with your equipment — whether it’s a tattoo machine, microblading pen, or shading needle. This practice ensures that you can control your tools with confidence and accuracy, which is vital for delivering exceptional results.

3. Build Muscle Memory

Just like any skill, mastering permanent makeup requires repetition. Working on latex allows you to practice the same movements repeatedly, helping you build muscle memory. This consistency ensures that your hands will instinctively perform the precise actions needed to create flawless brows, eyeliner, or lips.

4. Make Mistakes (and Learn from Them)

Mistakes are inevitable, especially when learning something new. Practicing on latex provides a safe space to make errors, experiment, and learn from those mistakes. You can refine your technique without worrying about causing discomfort or dissatisfaction to a client.

5. Experiment with New Styles & Techniques

Permanent makeup trends and techniques are always evolving. Practicing on latex enables you to try new styles, experiment with different color combinations, and perfect advanced techniques. Whether you want to master ombré brows or precise lip shading, latex provides the perfect practice canvas to grow your expertise.

6. Boost Client Confidence

Clients want to know that their permanent makeup artist is skilled and experienced. By continuously practicing on latex, you’re building the confidence needed to deliver flawless, professional results. With practice, your steady hand and attention to detail will become second nature, ensuring every client leaves satisfied and impressed.

Ready to Perfect Your Craft?

At MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy, we encourage all artists to continually practice and evolve their skills. Practicing on latex is key to mastering the art of permanent makeup, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re training in microblading, permanent eyeliner, or lip blush, perfecting your craft through realistic practice will set you up for long-term success.

Learning tarot without physical cards can be an intriguing way to engage with the symbolism and meanings of the tarot. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can do this:

1. Study the Cards’ Meanings:

Major Arcana: Begin with the 22 Major Arcana cards, which represent significant life events or spiritual lessons. Learn each card's symbolism, meaning, and associations.

Minor Arcana: These 56 cards are divided into four suits (Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles), representing different aspects of daily life. Study the meaning of each suit, its elements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth), and the numbers (Ace through 10) as well as the court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, King).

2. Visualize the Cards:

Imaginative Visualization: After reading about each card, close your eyes and visualize it. Imagine the imagery, colors, symbols, and emotions the card evokes. This will help you internalize the cards’ meanings without needing to physically see them.

Storytelling: Create stories around each card to remember its meaning. Imagine a scenario that captures the essence of what the card represents.

3. Use Tarot Apps or Digital Resources:

There are several apps and online resources that allow you to explore the tarot digitally. These often include card descriptions, daily readings, and the ability to pull virtual cards for practice.

4. Memorization Techniques:

Mnemonics: Create mnemonic devices to remember the key meanings of each card.

Associations: Link each card to personal experiences or universal archetypes. For example, associate The Fool with moments of new beginnings in your life.

5. Meditation and Reflection:

Card Meditation: Meditate on the energy and symbolism of each card. Reflect on how it applies to your life or current situation.

Journaling: Write about each card’s meaning, how it resonates with you, and any insights or questions that arise.

6. Practice with Readings:

Mental Readings: Practice doing readings for yourself or others by visualizing the cards in different spreads. Use your memory and intuition to interpret the cards.

Question and Answer: Pose questions and then mentally draw and interpret cards based on your knowledge. Reflect on the answers your mind conjures.

7. Learn Tarot History and Philosophy:

Understanding the history, origins, and different interpretations of tarot will deepen your understanding and appreciation of the cards.

8. Study Symbolism and Mythology:

Tarot is rich with symbolism, much of which is derived from mythology, religion, and alchemy. Study these areas to gain a broader context for the cards’ meanings.

By engaging with the tarot in these ways, you can build a strong, intuitive understanding of the cards even without a physical deck. This method also sharpens your mind and deepens your connection with the symbolism, making it a more personal and insightful experience.

Mastering Digital Retouching: Key Techniques for Stunning Photos

Introduction

In the world of photography, digital retouching has become an essential skill for creating stunning images. Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, mastering digital retouching can elevate your photos to new heights. This blog post will explore key techniques for digital retouching, providing you with the knowledge and tools to enhance your images effectively.

Understanding Digital Retouching

Digital retouching involves using photo editing software to enhance and manipulate images. This can include correcting flaws, adjusting colors, enhancing details, and more. The goal is to create a polished, professional-looking photo while maintaining a natural appearance.

Key Techniques for Digital Retouching

1. Blemish Removal

One of the most common retouching tasks is removing blemishes and imperfections. Tools like the Healing Brush, Spot Healing Brush, and Clone Stamp in Adobe Photoshop are invaluable for this task. They allow you to seamlessly remove spots, acne, and other imperfections, creating smooth, flawless skin.

2. Skin Smoothing

While it's important to remove blemishes, over-smoothing can make skin look unnatural. Use techniques like frequency separation, which allows you to separate texture from color, to achieve smooth skin without losing detail. Tools like the Mixer Brush can also help blend skin tones subtly.

3. Color Correction

Color correction is crucial for achieving a balanced, natural look. Use adjustment layers for levels, curves, and color balance to correct any color casts and ensure the skin tones are accurate. White balance adjustments can also help achieve the correct color temperature.

4. Enhancing Eyes

Eyes are a focal point in portraits, and enhancing them can make a significant impact. Use tools like the Dodge and Burn to brighten the whites of the eyes and add depth to the irises. Sharpening the eyes slightly can also make them stand out more.

5. Hair Retouching

Hair retouching involves removing stray hairs, adding volume, and sometimes even changing the hair color. Use the Clone Stamp or Healing Brush to remove stray hairs. For adding volume, use the Liquify filter subtly to shape the hair. Adjusting the hue and saturation can help with color changes.

Tools for Digital Retouching

Adobe Photoshop: The industry standard for photo retouching with a wide array of tools.

Adobe Lightroom: Excellent for color correction and overall enhancements.

Affinity Photo: A powerful alternative to Photoshop with robust retouching capabilities.

Capture One: Known for its superior color grading and tethered shooting features.

Tips for Effective Retouching

Work Non-Destructively: Use layers and masks to make edits without altering the original image.

Zoom In and Out: Regularly zoom in to work on details and zoom out to see the overall effect.

Use Soft Brushes: Soft-edged brushes create smoother transitions and more natural edits.

Take Breaks: Stepping away from your work and coming back with fresh eyes can help you spot areas that need improvement.

Conclusion

Mastering digital retouching is a valuable skill that can significantly enhance your photography. By understanding and applying key techniques, such as blemish removal, skin smoothing, color correction, eye enhancement, and hair retouching, you can create stunning, professional-quality photos. With practice and the right tools, you'll be able to transform your images and bring your creative vision to life.
