Hey, I'm currently working on a modern au avatar fanfic and I wanted to ask for help. I need some names for Spider's foster brothers, their fancasts (review characters) and potential ages. I was thinking about fancasting Nash-David Harbor and Mary-Iliza Shlesinger, but when it comes to boys I'm a blank. I wanted them to look like in the comics, but I can't find any people who would fit into their images.

Hi! I absolutely love David Harbor a Nash! 😍 Immediate yes.

I don't have my copy of the High Ground to hand, but for the boys a young Finn Wolfhard? I can imagine him playing a little devil to Spider growing up. And then also a young Thomas Brodie-Sangster 😭 Like, young young, as in from Love Actually or Nanny McPhee 🥺 Those are my best choices at the moment!

Yknow what- you're so right...

on my knees begging you to please look up “squick” if you don’t know it and help bring it back to fandom space by using it. it’s a valuable word we’re missing that through normalizing could solve some of the more prevalent communication issues.

In a very important home life update: we got a high vis vest for one of our chickens

They apparently have a great unintended use of stopping hens from getting bullied, so we got one to try it out since the above hen gets excessively picked on by the others (we don't really know why).

Shout put to the wonderful @gingervivilou who told me about it!!

This looks like knitting machine tuck stitch. This blog has a nice photo of the front and back of tuck stitch done on a knitting machine. And almost all sweaters sold in stores are done on knitting machines.

But you can get the tuck stitch by hand!

This blog discusses how tuck stitch the family name in which brioche stitches are a part. Like how foxes, wolves and dogs are all part of the candidae family. There is a tuck stitch family.

Doing a little digging there’s many of easy brioche tuck stitches, and the half brioche stitch looks pretty close to your sample and maybe would have a similar feel?

to the knitters of tumblr...

I got a rly cool sweater (hand-me-down from a friend, store bought) and I really love the texture.

I was wondering if any of you might know how to achieve it what it's called?

i don't really knit but I'm interested to know how it's made

this is the front

and this is the back.

it's pretty thick, as if it's two layers of knitwear stuck together.

if anyone has a name of the texture so I can look it up or even a tutorial, I'd be very grateful if you told me! ^^

Fire (Part 2)

(Spade Pirate Sabo AU Masterpost)

And that is!! 18 of 18 pages!! It's this long because I didn't want to break up their fight. I hope you enjoy :)

I had to rewrite their fight like,,, 3 times lmao. I'm not very good at writing fights because I'm Incredibly Passive Aggressive and Very Non Confrontational. Thankfully my partner helped me out a bit with making the escalation feel natural, so hopefully their grievances and motivations read well. In the end, both of them are starving probably-emotionally-stunted teenage boys in a high-stress situation, and Tage is being faced constantly with one of the biggest sources of his trauma that he doesn't even remember-- of course he's going to lash out.

Fun thing I learned this time around, if I struggle with planning a chapter, it can kind of help to write it out in prose like I would a fanfic, and then translate it to comic form. This is how I eventually ended up with 18 pages of comic,,, because I can't really estimate how much I'll need to draw when I'm writing in prose. In turn, this did help a lot with adding more natural behaviors between dialogue, like Tage tapping his finger to fidget while crossing his arm, or all of their pointing and gesturing while they're arguing.

Do you have any tips for painting with gouache? like how do you get it to stay a nice solid color over a large swath of paper? and how do you blend it so seamlessly?

Of course, here's a few pointers off the top of my head:

1. I've used gouache for this in the past so it's possible, but the flat backdrop on my latest WIP is actually acrylic! A nifty thing I've found about putting a layer of acrylic down, is that it creates a barrier once dried and essentially makes the paper waterproof. This means you can work in gouache on top without it mixing with the background, and you can wet a section and completely wipe it clean with a cloth/tissue and it won't disturb the acrylic layer underneath. It also makes the paper more resilient, and you don't get as much pilling/tearing from the moisture

To get an even wash it's mostly getting the right consistency, I add just a little water - enough that the paint is less "tacky" as you drag your brush along paper, but not so much that it's runny or translucent. It takes a couple of attempts sometimes!

2. Also for the current WIP that I posted earlier, like the vast majority of my traditional pieces, keep in mind that it's mixed media. So I assume you're referring to the blue-green gradient on the bird and wondering how I got the gouache to blend like that - it's actually colouring pencils! I'll often switch between dry and wet media, even layer them back and forth, whatever makes the most sense to get the effect I want 😁

3. On that note, when you're working with paint, or any medium really, I can't recommend enough having a "test" sheet that you do both before and during a traditional piece. It allows you try out different medium combos, see what shade your gouache will dry into, and catch any issues before it ends up on your artwork. I often see artists being encouraged to just Bob Ross their way through a piece, the idea being that you'll just have happy little accidents that you'll naturally work into the piece - maybe, but you'll also possibly irreversibly wreck your hard work and have to start again. I don't know, I'm just a methodical person I guess, but seeing someone just directly apply something to the page when they're not sure what it's going to do makes me wince - no two art supplies are the same! All of those paints and pens have different chemical makeups, there's an unlimited number of ways what you're using could interact, good or bad.

Since it's already there, I usually reuse one of the leftover failsons from the process of making the wash background, then test everything on top of that. That way you can see exactly what shade the paint will dry on top of whatever colour the background is:

Doesn't need to look good, nobody sees it (usually) and you can also test the thickness of your brushstrokes while you're at it.

Anyway, I hope this helps!
