Hey wanna see something insane?
Of course you do. This is what my photoshoot lot looks like.
The random items are there so I can adjust my Sims' head/eye positions by directing them to look at certain items while they're posing. Except The Pole™, which is there for convenience in case I need to use it. You know how much I love The Pole™.
I have the black box extended to the next level so I can shoot upwards and not accidentally get the seam of the wall or the outside. I don't remember if there's a way to build walls of varying heights in Sims 3 or if I'm thinking of Sims 4. Either way, I couldn't figure out how to do that so I just built a room upstairs and extended the wallpaper. I try to match the lighting upstairs as well as downstairs so if I have to shoot upwards at an extreme angle, I don't get any weird color banding or a seam where the two sections meet.
I'm not showing y'all this to say "this is the only way to do this" or even "this is the best way to do this" because neither are true at all. I just wanted to show you how I do things. If anything, it's a cry for help. There are so many easier ways to do all of this but this is how I find it easiest for me.
I'm still not the best at lighting and I'm a little scared to venture outside of a black box or a white box because it's just easiest for me to shoot against. Every time I use a patterned wall, it ends up looking pixelated or banded. I'm positive I'm doing something wrong but I don't know how to fix it. I'm still learning. Any and all tips will be greatly appreciated, in fact. Please. Please teach me. 🙏
This is from before I made everything but the black box area blue to help me frame things better. As you can see, I was playing around with the effects machine from Showtime to see if I could make my backgrounds more interesting that way.
I ended up not really liking the result. You have to place like a thousand of these to get much coverage for the background but then it ends up being too much.
I feel like it looks a lot better without all the nonsense going on back there.
Someone who knows what they're doing give me some tips on how to do...everything lmao.

Teaching little kids is so dang hard. I tell them to go stand on a purple dot and for some reason the little gremlins think that means "go play with the bouncy balls."
#i really have no idea what i'm doing#and once one kid starts goofing off the others follow like baby lemmings#love em tho#dance

*Gets down on one knee and looks up at you. Opens a small box with a slip of paper saying, “Can our MC’s be friends?”*
Uh sure here you go
(Me pouring out MCs)
Because in addition to my four Exalts/Diavolo's boy harem, I guess there's now an alternative DiaLuci universe in which Diavolo's shipped with Luci, so I'm coming up with two other male MCs to be shipped with two brothers? I guess?
NO WAIT DON'T LEAVE I SWEAR THIS WILL ALL MAKE SENSE

So, I really want to make a copy of this dress I love (https://poshmark.com/listing/Effies-Heart-Dolce-Vita-Bicycle-Dress-in-Ink-63f12dd491e053bf8c4baaac) in a fabric more suited to my interests (https://www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/12047493-kitchen-garden-beige-by-sally_mountain?size=YARD)
BUT
I am really frustrated by not really knowing anything about how to do what I want to do, and how much fabric I would need to do what I want to do. I think my first step needs to be taking a pattern from the dress, and the second step would be laying it out on the floor and measuring to see how much fabric I need.
Thoughts, oh sewing internet friends?

Thinking about @stygiovictoria's Roleswap AU.
#atla#zuko#avatar the last airbender#atla fanart#atla art#prince zuko#roleswap au#atla au#atla zuko#zuko art#zuko fanart#Hello hello I am obsessed with unhinged Zuko#He's so insane so creepy so absolutely despicable#I love him#This AU is amazing! I really love what you're doing with it and I can't wait to see more of it#The entire concept is so terribly intriguing#For the newbies—in this AU Azula and Zuko's roles are swapped#Which means Zuko is a brainwashed insane unhinged sneaky manipulative creepy drama queen#And I'm in love with him#He's sooooooooooooooooo creepy#Like#You have literally no idea of how creepy that mf is#I want to punch him in the face#Bastard#(I love him SO MUCH)#Also his design is *chef kiss*#Another round of yours truly drawing stuff for other people's AUs!#(Let us all ignore the bunch of wips for my own AUs that are gaining dust)#Quick sketch done in *checks time* around one hour and a half#Have I already said his design is Peak?

Checking up on his commission
#hate this guy. spoilers under tag cutoff#i fear i may have cooked with the tags. slash jay.#I've always imagined him with Particulars but I keep forgetting to draw them til like now#he speaks in lowercase to me. for reasons#I wanna know more about this untrustworthy bisexual but I also kinda wanna attack him every time he shows up#cant wait for the inevitable boss fight#fun fact: according to the dictionary 'nebulae' can refer to a clouded spot on the cornea that can cause defective vision#a limbus is 'the junction of the cornea and sclera in the eye'#so I think I speak for us all when I say WHAT THE FUCK MAN#what the hell was he on abt with Dante falling from the sky. and by sheep does he mean June 985 or?#if anyone wants to theorise on my post I'm all for it#limbus company#dante lcb#demian lcb#⏰🐍#unfortunately proud of that caption btw he really is just wanting his comm#HM WAIT BACK AGAIN#is the way the San was on about with leading the fallen nebulae home what causes J985?#as in - it is not people dying but them returning to their rightful place outside the City#with Purgatorio being the war 📘[i think] mentioned#is the doomsday Dante's head leading to the war? it typically refers to humanity's self destruction#or any globlal catastrophe#oh ok with PM is being sneaky again the Wiki page says it was inaugurated in June and guess when the MDE is#but generally things like nuclear war - AI and climate change are the main factors contributing to it#and we've already faced AI in the prev games via Angie so presumably one of the others will be the main force behind Dante's midnight#i personally like the nuclear angle given how Dante's head is already a clock#*BOMB. THEIR HEAD IS A BOMB THAT CAN BLOW UP#please do not write tags at night this was a bad idea

ANOTHER SKETCH DUMP! Featuring more of me playing with lineless art. Batman reborn era trio (dick, damian and steph) I miss you...when will you return from war. Also featuring Steph designs bc I've seen ppl dissatisfied w/ her current look, some good mom Talia, and Jason Todd poetry club. Duke is confused not that Jason would start a poetry club but that he'd have such mid poetry opinions. (ID in Alt)
#dc comics#batfamily#damian wayne#stephanie brown#dick grayson#talia al ghul#duke thomas#cassandra cain#mine#woo new art tag. please god let me keep this up all year#uhh anyway yeah! still a big backlog of sketches but i got burnt out which means i had time to collect some#i feel like my art looks. extremely different w/o lines compared to with? idk i worry that's it weird/off-putting#but hey at the end of the day I'm hardly worrying about my brand integrity on tumblr dot com#duke and cass being at poetry club is based on them canonically being into poetry and for a good while duke and jason got along well#Steph is there for both jason and cass' emotional support (unfortunately there's a design flaw. she can't do both simultaneously)#(which is fine bc cass is fleeing the scene at the idea of having to casually hang out with jason)#(they're the exact amount of similar and more importantly different that it's like putting two firecrackers together. bad)#i really like the steph mask designs... it'd be fun to do something with them but idk what y'know?#I'm just like. if we're assuming that her mask has to be different from both babs and cass then this is what I've got as alternatives#i mostly wanted to practice character interaction with the talia and damian one... and also i love them#looking at james gunns batman movie proposal. you keep your hands OFF HER MR GUNN#please if shes evil in a movie they're never gonna let her be good in the comics again 😭#dc when you inevitably cave and do your next big reboot let the ppl finally have the son of the demon origin (w/ tweaks of course)#idk it's canon in my heart. heartcanon if you will <3#anyway yeah uhhhhhh enjoy?

something that's partly an experiment but mostly just a reference
(★ my Kofi)
#my art#dreamworks trolls#trolls fanart#trolls john dory#trolls branch#trolls#nothing like a lighting test to remind me that i really have no idea what the fuck i'm doing pfgfgfghg#but whatever i'm here to have fun it's not like anyone's grading me on this#anyway i remember a long while back reading someone else's post#about JD realizing how royally he screwed up when he sees how similar to him branch turned out#and i've never stopped thinking about it

Welcome to the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger.
#Fear and Hunger#D'arce Cataliss#Cahara#Ragnvaldr#Enki Ankarian#Unlike Dungeon Meshi - I cannot in good faith recommend this game to a broad audience.#My background with F&H goes as follows: I am hanging out with a friend. He says “hey try this game I've been playing.” I say “Okay!”#I have never heard of this game. I pick the mercenary. I go through 5 min of character history and background. I am mauled to death by dogs#It took me 4 resets to even get in the dungeon. But I finally get there. I am caught by a guard. He cuts off all but one of my limbs#I am forced to crawl around in a blood and corpse pit until the game tells me 'give up idiot'.#I reset. I am mauled by dogs again. I realize this is not for me but I am intrigued enough to go home and watch some playthroughs#And WOW what an interesting game it is! I really do appreciate games that blend their design philosophy with the theme it wants to set#This is a game about fear and hunger. And persevering. And penis (my god is there a lot of penis)#I recommend this to people who like extremely challenging games and can handle the many *content warnings* within this series#If the idea of Bloodborne/eldenring and undertale having a little RPG maker baby sounds appealing to you - give it a shot#It's made by ONE GUY and it's a great horror game. I am just really bad at it.#My friends just enjoy putting me in situations where I scream and yell. We don't talk about the corn mazes. Or the other horror game nights#Apparently I'm funny when I'm Scared!#As people who follow me on twitter might know; I am deep in the pits of this series right now. I will be back with more art.

one thing about ik is that she will always reach out
#obey me#art#i had the idea for this and managed to bulldoze through drawing it all without losing motivation halfway through#but Do Not expect me to post art this frequently in future#idk how to do panels so if the middle bit with the text might be laid out weird#i added the stars and feathers and stuff because there was a bunch of empty space around the boxes#obey me satan#jtta ik#(btw the crumbling symbol next to the exploding feather is the wrath symbol from in-game)#(with the pride symbol attached upside down at the bottom)#(not so much symbolism as it is just me whacking you over the head with the point but it looks cool)#i had a lot of fun doing satan's more monstrous design so i might try my hand at some of the other demons later?#i do have some ideas for levi (deep sea creatures are just really fun)#also happy nightbringer release day!! it showed up on my homescreen like half an hour ago and i was like “wait what”#for some reason i thought it wasn't releasing til next week??#the new genshin patch is today as well so looks like i'll have plenty to do with the rest of my free time for the easter hols#(i promise i'm also working on the next chapter of jtta but i am so stuck on how to get lucifer actually Talking)#anyway. here's a gold star for making it through all my rambling in the tags for anyone who did so: ⭐

dreaming abt sophomore year class swap bard!riz
#fantasy high#fantasy high sophomore year#fhsy#riz gukgak#ft. kalina#fh class quangle#tbh Im not suuuper happy with the bones of these designs yet#but also its just a bit hard to measure up to how strong ''kid who wears suit to school'' is#I kiinda gear the sophomore year design specifically towards like. cameraman-esque aesthetics#kind of dude who's working the light rig And the audio at the same time. dude who's running inbetween two huge tripods#theres also a thing with the freshman year arcade scene that I wanted to draw but just do not have the energy today#maybe in the future! if I can be bothered to draw biz lmao#I wanna draw something for cleric!gorgug first anyway... specifically his death in freshman year#man I'm so glad I tossed bard!riz into investigative journalism that is SO annoying. exactly what I set out to do with my classswaps#can you imagine going to school with that guy. can you imagine going to school with tintin#this also makes kipperlilly vs riz even funnier like influencer vs journalist? it'd be the Worst#man thinking of it I should rework gorgug's design too. currently his sophomore design is really zac core lmao#and zac can pull it off but character design wise its. really nothing. laughs#his junior year design is full aerith at least so that one Im very happy with. what if I tell u cassandra is the deity of#the inbetween spaces in this class swap thingy. and gorgug offers her domain as a stop for folks fresh out of a faith to gather themselves#that being transgender as fuck is kinda coincidental lmao. but well I stand by it I like that#nobody's design has jumped out to me like riz and gorgug yet. adaine I have a prreeetty good idea for#mostly bc shes the hoodie kid this time round lmao. gamer adaine true believers rise up#we take it easy! we take it easy as we go. these comics-lite were real fun to do. I should do that more

when i say i have zero to little knowledge and understanding of omegaverse stuff, i mean it so truly and wholeheartedly, which is why i've never even attempted to write it, but i have had exactly one (1) thought about alpha bakugou and omega reader and it's so typical but ajfbsjakak i want to share it hehe
#i really like omegaverse as a concept but i feel like i'm missing something with understanding it LOL#like. where's the manual how do i know what the standard rules are#basically what if i have an idea and someone is like. that's not omegaverse at all LOL that's my fear#idk !!#also i'm the most omega person to ever omega in the world and i fear that's boring 😔😔#✿ shut up willow

of course you can read necros and cavs as a parallel to the gender binary bc A) you can do whatever you want forever and B) yeah there's plenty of textual evidence comparing the necro-cav bond to a marriage. however one thing i think many of these discussions keep missing is the fact that most people in the nine houses are not necros or cavs and do in fact exist outside of this binary. which would make it. not really much of a binary
#get ur warm takes here#i know other people have said this already but i really feel like this binary idea has proliferated recently#but i get it i mean in the books we have almost zero exposure to House citizens living outside this 'binary'#so it is a binary in the sense that you can apply it to our major characters who are from the nine houses#but i'm just not sure about extrapolating it to the whole fictional society#i do think there are comparisons to be drawn here i just don't think enough discussions account for this third group being most of#the population.#like do a thematic analysis for sure but personally i would stop short of saying 'joh created a new gender binary and forced everyone into#it' bc. what about all those other offscreen characters who are neither necro nor cav#the locked tomb#nonasbirthday
