its the same anon as before-

Can I just say I love the way you add depth to the skin tones and I also love your color line art?

The textures and expressions ahahghjdbhjdgjdfbdf <3 not to mention the lighting on some of these are just great!

uh if you don't mind can you tell me how you do your colors? Like the base ones I don't mean all the lighting stuff

im still fairly new to digital art so how do you color inside the character instead of just each individual shape?

jfbdskjbjksfbdf thank you ^v^

THANK YOU SO MUCHH!!!! much appreciated c:

im pretty bad at explaining it but usually i just use much more saturated and warm colors in my art since im biased (i like warm tones a lot) and i also think it more eyecatching!

heres an example-- i make the values generally similar with mainly the darker colors (hair, shoulder thingy) being lightened slightly to reduce contrast so its more easy on the eye & makes it look softer ig? i also like to choose one color in particular to "base" all the other colors around, and that color is usually some sort of primary color and the most saturated. in this case, its a red/orange color, so i had all of my other colors shift closer to it (in reference to the color wheel)

heres another (really crappy LOL) example based around a more orange tone (though looking at it i think i made sokka a little too orange... whoops) and if you look at the values themselves...

basically the same! most of this is just preference too so its not like you need to REALLY stick to the original values or anything, but all that id look out for is that you pay most attention to stuff like skin tones just to make sure youre not like whitewashing by accident lol

im overcomplicating things but its kinda just something i think you learn over time? the way i figured colors out was by abandoning any and all reliance on blending layers (stuff like multiply, add, overlay, etc.) and just eyeballing literally everything and it kinda forced me to figure out how to make colors look good without relying on filters!

as for blocking in colors in general... i forget how to draw sometimes so im never really consistent with it LOL but lasso fill is your best friend! i either just use a random color and lasso fill the whole character manually (left) and set that layer to alpha lock/protect alpha, or i just lasso fill each color individually (right) bc im a freak sometimes

what i recommend doing/the fastest way is using the magic wand to select outside of your lines, invert the selection and then fill in the selection with a color and setting that to alpha lock.

i dont use it as much anymore mostly because i dont line so my stuff is really sketchy (so stuff like on the right happens) and i kinda like messy coloring anyways soooo... but yeah!!! i dont really recommend using the fill bucket that much unless the situation calls for it c:

(and if you do struggle with this and ur results look like whats on the right, try just manually closing your lines or seeing if your wand has an option for automatically closing gaps!)

Hi! Sorry if this is an odd question, but I saw that it was horny writing advice hour so I thought that I'd take the opportunity to ask: What is good dirty talk and how do you go about writing it?

I'm ace so I don't have a lot of experience with it and whenever I try to write a character flirting or getting ready to do the deed, I always get hopelessly stuck on the dialogue. Thank you in advance for any insight you could provide 🙏

Hmm, that’s tricky since usually my metric is “would I laugh if my partner said this in the moment” or sometimes “does this sound like dialogue from a cheap porno?”

I really liked the dialogue I wrote for my Bruce/Slade fics and I get a lot of compliments on that dirty talk specifically for some reason. I think what’s important is that the tone and message actually match the people using/receiving it.

So your character suddenly sounding super 50 shades of grey might be really out of place. And maybe the person they’re saying it to, you as the reader KNOW they wouldn’t be receptive to that kind of talk. Maybe it’s dehumanizing or objectifying and that kind of dialogue has never come up before.

Try not to judge your own dialogue when it comes out, too. I think that stops a lot of people — they get self conscious or think “I would never say this.”

omg I hope you don't find this weird but I think I've seen your face before ??? BUT IDK WHERE 😭😭 definitely not irl but like online. I'm totally doxing myself rn but I'm from Argentina, does that means sm to you? IM SORRY IDK WHST IM ASKING your don't have to answer that

or maybe from twt? where you in another fandom this last few years? (u don't have to tell me which one if the answer is yes, but I just can't remember where I """know""" you - second message

I dont have any other socials other than snap, insta, TikTok and tumblr.

I have been writing and posting here for 11 or so years though in these prominent fandoms:

Star Wars ( Kylo Ren )

Fantastic beasts and where to find them

Detroit become human

Big Hero 6 ( my biggest break on here, user used to be t-adash-i if that’s familiar )

X-men ( around the time X-Men Apoloclyse came out )

Bohemian rhapsody

Last heavy fandom I wrote for here was X-men and Bohemian Rhapsody ( user at that time was the-disco-deaky ) before I retired for about 3 or so years and just came back.

I was also heavy on Quotev about 12 or so years ago and was known for the fandoms:

Hetalia

Rise of the Guardians.

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

Artist note: I’m so proud of this :))) I know it’s a lot of dialogue and reading, but dialogue is grueling work for me. I’m glad with the art and for the amount of pages I made in such a relatively short time span -w- page 5 was super fun to work on. A lot of blood, sweat, and hours here... :) The backgrounds were a big bore tbh, but I finished them! Yippie!

Elesa’s feeling homesick. Emmet, bless his heart, tries to help by infodumping while Ingo frantically runs off to find water (crying is a very dehydrating experience).

((Would you look at that! The kids are picking up kantonese and galarian from each other!))

sokka trying to get katara to give up on her waterbending bc it could get her killed. and katara refuses to give up and continues to practice anyway. bc sokka and katara represent the survival of both the people and the culture. sokka had the safety of their people thrust upon him by his dad, while katara is the only one in their tribe that can carry the weight of their culture. both are heavy burdens, and they're struggling with their roles bc they're just two kids trying to rebuild in the wake of genocide. but they refuse to give up, bc that's what the story is about.

holding onto hope, regardless of what you face.

The Planthopper essentially vanishes from view.

They are also an extremely diverse set of insects morphologically!
