#i dont know how better to articulate this

If I can work it into my subconscious as I'm half-asleep in between alarm clock snoozes, you know it's fucking with me.

i know astrology is fake but i'm not too keen on how a lot of people on this website seem to be clowning on it as a hobby a bit too hard. i swear the woman who thinks it's neat how she and her friends with the same sun sign are all similar isn't trying to say that you are who you are born as and there is nothing you can do to change it. it's a hobby. an interest. what happened to finding meaning and joy in the small things. does it affect you if someone enjoys tarot reading or crystals. does it make you upset someone has interests that they enjoy.

I kinda want to get into digital painting, how do you make your paintings look so good? Do you have any tips?

its really all about practice id say, and understanding shadows and light sources.

my mom has studied art for years, she no longer does it, but she told one of the most important advices when it comes to shading. draw a small ball on where you want the light source to come from, and draw from there. imagine how it will effect every small thing in the drawing, how little or lots of light it will have.

this is something i made while explaining this to someone a few months ago, this is what my mom told me what to do, and i learned a lot about shading from this. studying from real life is also very important, seeing how light interacts with objects, how light is reflected off to other objects, how blurry or sharp the shadow can be. its endless amounts of knowledge when looking at real life subjects.

when rendering, light sources are one of the most important things, learning the fundamentals can help you in the long run. thinking of what you want your shadows to look like too, do you want them soft or sharp, or even a mix of both? finding something right for you is important, and that's why experimentation is key for finding what you're happy with. trying so many different techniques is possible when going into digital art, take things from artists you like, redraw your favorite piece to see how they've made it, try new brushes or programs, its all up to you!

color is important when it comes to rendering, that could be said for any piece. color dictates the feeling of the piece, using many different colors in your shading can make it pop out. going back to experimenting, trying new different colors and palettes is very helpful too! play with saturations, values, try using only one hue. i stick to warms usually, but seeing what else you could be using can be fun too! color is limitless, try all that you can :D

in art, i believe experimentation is one of the most important things, it leads to your growth as an artist. i would be nowhere without it, and i very much encourage anyone to try all they can. digital art is one of the most expansive artforms, you can get almost any look with it, you can do so much with it that makes creativity limitless.

Just looked at the digital remains again and oh my god why are we not talking more about the original lyrics to backslide

If I were to backslide, tell everyone we know

Thanks for the last time they came out

...

Why did I not thank you more, saving me those other times

(Don't you dare jump in)

...

I'd rather you hurt me, than do nothing at all

I'd rather you let me down, than just gas me up

I'd rather you cuse me, than do nothing at all

...

You won't make a sound, pick someone else I won't be around

Trapped inside your smile, don't put me on trial

Don't you see you take, everything from me

[literaturebf]

yeah whatever. it's never a waste of time to have loved someone and to have been loved in return. okay

[rainsyru]

Just found out you have a tumblr! I was wondering what stuff you use to animate? and the workflow, Im always interested in learning stuff about this ^^

Yo! Regarding programs stuff I have an FAQ here

As for workflow, I have some BTS videos on YT that I think does a better job illustrating my process than a text wall would here2 and here3

love doesn’t have to be romantic. It’s strangers holding the door open for you. Friends laughing with you. The sun shining it’s warmth for you to bask in. The random bird or squirrel on your walk that doesn’t bolt when you pass it. There’s love everywhere, in infinitely many different forms

I actually wasn't talking about romantic love. The way you phrased it is beautiful. I think I'm too bitter to comprehend this rn. But I'll think about this the next time any act of consideration happens to me. Thank you for going out of your way to write this. I hope you have a wonderful week 💞

I think you should be made aware that theres a minidrama on twitter claiming Shiver fans to be racist. Which...some might be. My mutual in law got DOGGED recently and i saw all of it (all they did was make a lil joke i think

so i’ve heard… :( the entire situation is terrible , honestly. i’m not big into splatoon but i am a brown person, and seeing the infighting between fans about the racism and colorism in the fanbase is. stressful, to put it VERY lightly

i’m very sorry to hear what happened to your mutual-in-law. the recent splatfest has a LOT of people agitated. thankfully nobody has been rude to me yet, but knowing the internet (and how things are going right now) who knows how long that’ll last

Translyrics for Eve's 名前も知らないあなたに恋をした (I fell in love with you without even knowing your name). I thought the song was so cute and fun and silly, I really wanted to try my hand at some lyrics! They're under the cut and my commentary is in the tags :3

A late-night restaurant, always in the same seat over there and

Smoking a cigarette, I see it rise and run through your hair.

Oh, what to do? I look at you and feel my heart race.

"Not much to look at, huh," you say while gazing into my face.

Pajamas on and I'm always in the same seat over here, with

Coffee, two scoops of milk, I sip it and I try not to stare.

Oh, what to do? Every line I have sounds way too cliche.

"Let's stick together, huh?" Is all that I could say.

No, I don't know your name, but I fell in love with you the same.

A late-night restaurant, you're here each day each month each week and

Smoking a cigarette, I see it trail and trace on your cheek.

Oh, what to do? I look at you and feel my heart race.

"Not much to look at, huh," you say while gazing into my face.

I bet you like me too,  I tell myself but without success, and

I remind myself it's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy, it's --

Oh, what to do? It's time to clear my heart and my head.

"You know you're beautiful," is what I finally said.

No, I don't know your name, but I fell in love with you the same.

Begging on my knees, answer me please!

No, I don't know your name, but I fell in love with you the same.

My biggest problem art wise is my posing is too stiff.. idk how to add fluidity to the still movement, and it drives me crazy

[lexa-griffins]

I'm confused 😕 do you prefer reading asks with an even split between Clarke and Lexa cumming equally or one more than the other?

I don't mind if the asks are about one or the other cumming. My point is more so that 90% of the asks I get will very much center around Clarke's pleasure, even more so when Clarke is inexperienced and - because she has a dick - Lexa having an orgasm is secondary to Clarke's. And when in an au where the main focus is Lexa's pleasure, the whole reason why I tagged the au 'pillow princess Lexa', and the way Clarke feels pleasure by giving Lexa pleasure suddenly oh how could Clarke not be given an orgasm (directly, because ive mentioned how she can very easily make herself cum while wearing the strap).

You guys can still send whatever asks, I dont mind! Its just the thing that annoys me is how Lexa is either use as a fleshlight or a dildo for Clarke during sex and how in return it turns Clarke into such a selfish lover that I find so incredibly out of character for her.

But Im just a little annoyed at the fact this is a trend, dont read into this as you guys having to police what you send me, i try to add what I want in the answer because im the one answering them, thats why i made the whole plot in nerd clarke x popular lexa about Lexa feeling taken for granted with Clarke focusing so much on herself sex started being one sided. And mostly because I dont want to write g!p Clarke in a way that's just... straight sex.

Anyways im rambling and dont read too much into this, its just a pet peeve that i kinda keep seeing time and time again, continue as usual 😅

PSA about dick-poisoning: it's real 😔 stay safe sisters

[parasolids]

i know that the Wisdom is that Desire And Suffering Are The Same but to be honest when things suck i feel like sometimes actually wanting something is what makes me happy. like obvs its just going to be Suffering if you Desire something that you can't have but then sometimes you Desire something that you actually have the means to attain and the process of attaining in and of itself is exciting and then instead of Suffering it is Joy
