feeling dizzy at the party, is it the ending or is that just starting

hey wisp! I always adored the way your edits looks especially the little stars-sprinkles-camera feel layers you chooses!

so Im wondering what do you usually google to search for that kinda stuff???

hai :D thank you friend! :3 i typically will look up film frame/star bokeh overlay and i'll scour the internet until i find some. i'll usually check places like pinterest, google images, devianart HOWEVER i decided to put together something for this ask. sometimes (most of the times lmao) a lot of these textures are paywalled and that's a bit annoying SO i've uploaded a majority of the textures i use! i organized them into three categories and that's bokeh, film scratches and borders! i'll also included a mini tut under the cut because genuinely when i first started using textures, i uh, had no idea how do use them lil guys so maybe this might help someone :D

mini tutorial underneath:

after copying, pasting and resizing the texture file onto the photo i'm editing, for film textures with a mostly black background that aren't transparent, i'll hop into layers and change it to lighten. i find that this keeps the detail whist not causing you to loose clarity in a photo! i usually set opacity to 50% but that's just a preference! i always suggest to mess around with layer styles u never know what u might find:

as for bokehs or light leaks, i'll usually use lighten but i recently discovered that linear dodge creates a glowy effect bery cool! thought i might share:

as for the frames i included, most are transparent, i included some like the very first photo that could look sick layered over a photo. some have a white non-transparent center such as the one pictured but i'll typically erase it or try out the multiply layer:

EHHEEH did. did someone say disassembler stims :0

Well here they are anyhoo

[Image ID: A drawing depicting catified designs of N (top), V (middle) and J (bottom) from Murder Drones. They’re set against a mottled gold background, roughly colored in with a paler bokeh-light texture and lined in sketchy russet-orange linework.

Each of them are stimming in some way. N is tapping his tail against the ground, V rattles her wings as she stretches, and J is repeatedly clicking a pen. All these actions are labeled with small text in the drawing. End ID]

Process breakdown #1

Here is a breakdown of the butterfly animation. This was originally posted as a twitter thread, but a real blog post seems to be a much better format for it.

Step 1: Static Drawing

I've long wanted to experiment with Bokeh effect in pixel art as a way to avoid drawing background. It ended up being a lot more challenging than just a normal background 😂. Still an interesting experiment nonetheless and I might use it for some other stuff in the future.

Step 2: Rough Animation

I traced the static drawing with a contrasting colour, then roughly sketched the other frames. Seeing it in motion made it clear to me that the form was very obviously incorrect, but I thought I'd adjust as I go.

Step 3: Refined Animation

Before I got to this point, I naively tried to put in the colour. I quickly realized making the "veins" look consistent would be very hard without guides. So I looked up pictures of actual Morpho butterflies to study the wings in detail. Also made the shapes (mostly) correct and doubled the frame count once I was happy with the shapes.

Step 4: Colours

This was the most fun part. I conceptualized the wings as two blue tinted, matte, textured mirrors rotating in 3D space. When two mirrors come together, they start reflecting each other. The closer they get, the less the lighting from the surrounding world contribute to the colours you see. Eventually, nearly no light from the outside world make into the gap and all you see is dark blue/black.

It started looking almost like mirrors as I figured out the rough movements of the reflections; then a shimmering mess of colours as I threw in more details from the static drawing. The key trick to making the complex colours look consistent was to pay attention to every "partition" of the wings to make sure the dark colours creep in and out smoothly.

I also gradually filled in the eye spots and details on the backside of the wings, not sure if many people noticed them but I was pretty happy with how they looked.

Step 5: Shadow

A big part of realism comes from how a moving object affects the lighting around it. In this case: the shadow on the flower. This is a rough version of the shadows as I worked on it. Wasn't too concerned about making it look 100% correct, since the wings probably catch all the attention anyway.

Step 6: Final Touches

I spaced out the movements so it didn't feel quite so frantic. Instead of using the last frame as the resting frame, I used the second last, and only briefly showed the last frame at the begging and end of the motion to add a bit of realism (although in reality, butterfly wings probably don't have enough mass for that to happen, but hey, 🤷‍♀️).

Also spent some time to reduce the palette down by merging similar looking colours. Also reused the darker, subtler yellow in the background to create the illusion of more flowers out of focus.

The second dye for the shoes can be mole brown to blend the fishnets into the skintone, but it's a shade lighter than the mole brown I used for the tights. I left it with black netting so it looks more cohesive from far away, but the textures are different if you look closely :>

Imagine Kyojuro’s birthday was also the day he passed.

A year following his demise, you visit his grave to celebrate it with him. Reminisce over saké, fighting back tears and the swell of emotions in your chest.

You didn’t have the gumption to tell your friend how you truly felt back then. How he held your heart in a vice and your voice in your throat, his kindness ever-flowing and energy infectious.

Your resolve slowly crumbled since then. You gradually fell into a pit of melancholy, nearly relinquishing your sword and abandoning the Corps.

You wander home when your bottle is empty, and fireflies dapple the sky. Your chest feels hollow; your sword is held lax between your fingers, screeching while dragging against the gravel.

When you reach your estate, you are greeted by an arctic, inky darkness that sinks its talons into your heart and drags downward. Crash into a downtrodden heap on your futon, molten tears and wounded sobs staining your bedding until sleep beckons you with her somber voice.

You awaken to muddled palettes of color swarming before you. Oranges, reds, and golds. To the savory aroma of fried dumplings and dango tinging the air. A symphony of laughter, music, and firecrackers pervade your ears. Once your vision adjusts, you fully ingest the sights with parted lips and wide eyes.

Crimson paper lanterns shiver overhead, intertwined with Japanese maple leaves. Technicolor signs glow, promising delicious confectioneries and endless entertainment. Children excitedly tug their parents towards the booths offering games, mirth coloring their pudgy cheeks.

You can’t recall how you got here; why you’re swaddled in a soft, weightless yukata, intricately-designed geta strapped to your feet. Where the silken coin bag wrapped around your wrist came from. Nothing, and no one seems recognizable. You haven’t the foggiest idea where or when you are. Just have a burning instinct to move, and you obey the call.

You try to push yourself up from the icy ground—when did you fall? Yet, a voice that often sullies your dreams dispels the cacophony of your mind, drawing your gaze to the source of it.

“Are you alright?” it asks, causing your heart to work overtime to pump blood to your extremities.

The air is punched from your lungs. Your throat fills with sand. A dizzying sensation overtakes you, soaking you to the bone. You nearly double over as he kneels before you, stretching a battle-worn hand towards you.

Time slows to a crawl. The world fades into a gentle bokeh of light around you. Nothing exists but the pair of you in this moment. Your gaze is trained on the worry hanging between his wiry brows. To every spasm of his lips. Every twitch of his jaw. Each measured rise and fall of his chest. Lingers on his proffered hand, soaking in the texture and warm-ivory glow of it.

Could it really be—no. There is no way. He died back then. You watched his life slip away as you clutched him in your arms.

Yet, there is no mistaking the homely scent of a kindled fire he exudes. No mistaking the warmth he radiates, lulling you into tranquility.

Kyo…juro?

Your voice scattered between the stalls; you can only nod, disbelief painting your countenance. Is it really you, you muse, shakily taking his hand. Your skin sparks from the contact like striking flint against steel, your heart thudding like a war drum in your esophagus.

He effortlessly hauls you onto your feet, tearing the wind from your chest. You flatten your palms against the hard press of his body to keep yourself from teetering. Feel his heart beating beneath the many folds of his yukata and each inhalation of breath.

It…feels like him. He’s real. Has to be. But…but, how?

The world seeps back in. You snatch away from him, sheepishly rubbing the nape of your neck, warmth speckling your cheeks. He regards you with eyes that simmer like liquid spilled over hot coals. Scans your face for any discomfort, raising tentative fingers to your jaw. He stops himself midway, his arm falling listlessly at his side. A grin slowly crests over his face, replacing the wariness which once resided there.

���Shall we continue, then?” Kyojuro booms, standing akimbo, confidence oozing off his skin.

His goofiness remains the same, causing fondness to creep into your belly. You muffle a chuckle behind your fist, tears of mirth springing to your eyes. The puppy-like confusion marring his features makes you laugh even harder.

You don’t know what higher power granted you such a gift. With the ability to stand by your friend again, basking in his boyish glow. On his birthday, no less. Whoever they are, you overload the heavens with praise; appreciative gaze turned skyward once your shoulders stop quaking and your cheeks ache in the aftermath.

Without a second thought, you loop your arms with Kyojuro’s, standing on tippy-toe to grace his cheek with a chaste kiss.

“Of course!” you chirp at his awestruck demeanor, a smile rounding your lips. You swiftly tug him towards the sea of festival-goers, his cheeks stained a beautiful shade of rouge in your peripheral.

And, was that steam you saw billowing from his ears just then?

Yep. It’s him alright.
