#f.lux

We're flux buddies!

YAY F.LUX! I truly can't overstate how important a role that thing plays and has played in my daily life.

I turn it off for things like editing photos or if I'm playing a game in the darkness hours that is NOT a "sleepy" game (like in the winter where it gets dark at fucking 4 pm). If it's fully on and I turn it off I'm always like AAAAAAHHH MY EYES THE BRIGHTEST BLUEST LIGHT OF 500 SERAPHIM INSIDE AN APPLE STORE. And then I'm like how do I look at this all day long?? (Then I get used to it in like 30 seconds)

And then if for some reason I forget to put it back on, it'll be 2 in the morning and I'm suddenly like huh why am I wide the fuck awake reading wikipedia about Uzbekistan and not remotely sleepy? oh. whoops

last august I posted the lineart of this (plus an art nouveau style background frame) to subscribers on patreon but i've never been able to finish it, so after using it as marker brush practice today i hereby release it from my custody into the wild...

Being Northern European, my f.lux is beginning to tuck me into bed right about now, which is 3pm, because of the sun. Time to tell it I now live in Congo, Kinshasa. So much better!

I figured out what calculations to do to transfer animations from the Bugsnax player rig to an NPC rig, and put a few onto the Filbo model I modified into the Journalist, but I'm not sure what to do with it now. I've got their idle animation, their walking animation, their crouching animation, their crouching and walking animation, some jumping stuff, and their on fire animation, but maybe there's some others I can add? A lot of the tool using animations clip through their body, so they don't look as good from a third person perspective.

Their face almost never moves because the player doesn't have a face to animate, which is also a problem. I guess I could... learn to actually animate. Or steal another character's face animation, like I did with the default expression. This model can do expressions, but that's because expression animations are the same for every character, so I just used the ones from Filbo's animation file.

I think their shoulders are a bit janky still too. I should see if I can fix that. And I'm not totally happy with some of the eye colours.

Heheheh, look at 'em go. They don't know they're trapped in Blender for the foreseeable future.

redoing because i forgot the both option lololol

im curious for photo editing purposes since I edit with my blue light blocking filter in mind, but realised others might not be using one!

lunch break upload! timelapse o’ a kujen <3 this digital pencils style was a bit of an experiment and the process was sooo much fun to refine. you can tell it’s digital because of how the white interacts with the black (or rather how it doesn’t) but i’m pretty pleased w/ how closely it matches the look of when i do it on real paper.

process notes:

i started by scanning in a paper sketch & a blank sheet of Strathmore toned gray paper (with the saturation on the gray paper turned to zero to remove the warm tone), & then started figuring out the outfit digitally

you can see me almost incorporate the ruffle from this Valentino 2023 minidress and then i took a break to think about it while drawing the cuff and decided i didn’t have room for it lmao

Three brushes: Artemis Big Boy pencil, Clip’s default “wet blotting ink”, and this Textured Blender. I try not to blend the edges of the wet ink too much, but where I do, a textured blender looks better than Clip’s defaults.

the only trick to the pencil part is that the pencil brush can get smaller/sharper, but you have to pick a maximum size and stick with it. big solid areas must be hatched or filled in with the ink brush and thicker lines must be constructed out of thinner lines, or it looks goofy and amateur. I had a couple false starts before I realized, well, duh, this is how pencils work in real life.

literally everything is either #000000 or #FFFFFF i didn’t touch the color wheel at all it was great

Every time I turn off f.lux and turn up the screen brightness just a little bit I'm like "aah yes, this is why I had chronic headaches for the first 3 years after getting ME/CFS"

i've been playing honkai: star rail for the past few days and i love it so much

there's a few localisation issues (spoken lines say a different word from the subtitle; some lines are written awkwardly) but it's very charming overall & there's a lot of humour in it

march and dan heng are rly good 4-star beginner companions and for once in my hoyoverse life i'm actually using a shielder AND a healer

being sensible and giving myself a break between wind waker randos to play other stuff so I won't inevitably get burnout, but I keep checking out the new seed file I already made in prep for next time
