#i think it doesnt add the type of texture i want

[transthatfag]

dramatic :/

[loopscereal]

closeups and details below the cut

was thinking od these drawings of school uniforms eddo made, broke down the colors she used an then triend making school merch like jackets, hoodies, shorts, skirts, shoes, shirts, yeah. + idol duo in ther calder outfit bc i want to . this started out as me just wantinf to draw idol duo an dget ther lil shapes down but iii snowballed lol anyway close ups

idol duoooo yippieee Loon/JJ's pants can be blue tone or red tone then her belt and shoes can also switch between being red or blue depending on the tone of the pants bc i like switching it up!! uhhh i gave malva grey in her regular outfit's socks to bring down the grey of her council vest, then made her shoes grey in the other one to do the same thing but whitened her socks for contrast between the dark skirt and dark shoes and to bring down some more white. i made jjs socks brown to brign down th ebrown of her hair, idk i just like trying ot balance their colors around and have them repeat somewhere else at least once... the two of them have matching red earrings, matching planet pins, and their hairstles srt of have a matching flow to them, (what are you talking about loops) mattching stripe things at the socks / cuffed bit of the pants bc i ii wanted then to have a mayching band thing??? i want them to have a million matching things they are BEST FRIENDSSSS. uh friendship braceltes as always... fun fact jj gets cold easily and malva doesnt, shes quite comfortable in the cold lol the planet pins based are off their planets in loons "planet loop" cover

yeah. i feel like every time we post our usagi (we call her malva) she looks different, nut i swear we arent just redesigning her over and over again, we just turned her redesign that happens in the series into a plotpoint for her ToT she has to get a haircut and then it grows back in darker and curly cause the weight of thigh-length hair was keeping it straight but now that its lighter it matches bons curly texture. (we made bon and usagi/malva siblings. twins) she however did not always have that white eyebrow that is relatively new lmao

animatronics with school merch uh i noticed the univorms have both horizontal and verdical stripes, vertical lines going up the arms and side of the leg, adn then horizontals typcally going across the chest, and just did my best to make it look similar to the uniforms and add little things or make it look interesting idk tell me if it looks good ig? i feel like i may have just copy pasted the sports uniform stuff onto different types of clothes lol

uhhh also golden has more birthmark stuff going down their whole arm, i dont think ive shown that off beforeeee. chica also has freckles down her entire body but its msot abundant at the bottol of her legs, arms, and shoulders cause thats where the sun hits the most. she also did some red make up eyeshadow thing on her eys to match the school colorsss i just got the idea to make a school scarf. damn. uh. if you guys have any ideas for school merchandise i should do feel free to suggest some in the tags ! i found this very fun to do

loops from 2 hours after posting this: im gonna re-do eaks versity jacket yes yes…. that would be cool……

Reaction to FEM!Reader W/ Tongue Piercings

-> Bakugo Katsuki & Kirishima Eijiro

   Bakugo Katsuki | Kirishima Eijiro x [FEM]Reader

CONTENT WARNING(S): suggestive content, mentions of kissing, implied mentions of seggs.

WORD COUNT: .4k words.

READ MORE: masterlist + [student masterlist].

A/N: i wish i could work more with these but we'll see later on!! ofc the other choice would be kiri <33 n i wasnt sure if the implications of the ask so they stayed (mostly) sfw lol. as for student reqs, i will take them with a grain of salt. no guarantee they will be done or finished. thank you, anon!

oh he thinks you're fucking cool.

at first i was thinking he'd question you, but does he gaf like that??

[+] the answer yes and no.

Bakugo honestly has never thought about piercings in his own free time, so when you pop out with him he just starts thinking.

asks to see it and analyzes it like when dads stare at a TV screen with their hands on their hips.

Bakugo was sure of two things:

1) it was cool as fuck.

2) it was hot as fuck.

he loves your tongue piercing.

once your piercing is all healed he wants to experience everything (physical) he had with you.

when he kisses you with added tongue for the first time in awhile, the kiss is slow and sensual. he likes feeling your piercing but is in no rush to avoid hurting you.

so much more hums of approval and low moans as he finds himself getting lost in your kiss.

dont even get him started feeling your tongue on his skin and how the little change in texture can easily make him shiver.

he thinks your tongue is honestly so rad that he hopes you get more.

[+] he doesnt even care what you get next, he just wants to see you in more!!! 🤭

unlike contrary belief, i don't think Bakugo is the type to get piercings and tats so he leaves that category up to you lol.

Kirishima asks all the questions lmao.

"Did it hurt?" "How long did it take?" "How many piercings are you gonna get?"

gives you so many kisses as soon as you are healed LOL.

likes to toy and play with you, even gifts you rings (or whatever tf the jewelry is called for tongue piercings) cuz he knows you'll look good in them.

almost has a weird obsession with it if we're being honest.

your choice might also influence him?!$($(

HE JUST LOVES IT.

thinks it's fuckin' rad and honestly it might just influence him to get one of his own.

but that's a decision for later since he knows he will be lazy about the recovery process.

youre his punk gf in training and he will NOT miss this opportunity to cash in on it

[+] and of course if you don't want more that's totally fine. he just can't help himself but start to fantasize lol. he's a dreamer!!

he loves playing with your tongue and feeling it on him.

it's like an extra stimulant and the little texture it adds just makes him shiver in all the good ways.

11/10 he loves it. would not complain if you got more.

and if he does get a tongue piercing himself, he'll make sure to be an expert in tongue technique okay—

hey I love your edits and I was just wondering what you use/do to edit your photos? Not to copy, just in awe!

omggg thank you anon!!! the fact u want to know at all means so much 😭💓 especially when theres so many people posting edits that have a much better understanding of how to edit photos than me!!! (may i direct you to the amazing @yesloulou and her gifs..) ask me anything im happy to share and for u to copy my techniques (??) send me any other questions u have if i dont answer them i cud talk abt this all day .. 🫶🫶

so! i use the mobile version of lightroom when im editing photos quickly e.g. on race day, and tbf, its my main editing app. if that doesnt click with u, theres also snapseed which is a google editing app that i also used for a while until i realised lightroom was free (a blessing 😭). I also sometimes use photopea as a rip-off photoshop if i want to do more crazy stuff 🤪🤪🤪

first thing is crop the image if it needs it. i have a preference for portrait photos, just bc i prefer the way they look when posted. i use all sorts of ratios, but my favourites are 3:4 and 5:4 just bc i think they work best with driver portraits! (hot tip: the rule of thirds is soooo helpful!! find a metaphorical 'line' through the photo and line that up with one of the thirds) (lightroom produces the grid automatically when u crop xxx)

the next thing i do with a photo is correct the lighting and colouring. there are plenty of tutorials online and i can go more indepth if u want, but i tend to favour lower contrast with low highlights (bc i hate when u lose detail in highlights. the bane of my existence). its usually the first thing i try, but if it looks horrible i'll try different things. to correct colouring, i use the tint/temperature sliders (im still learning how to intuitively use these rather than messing around and going hm. too purple right before i post). since most of the photos i edit r taken by super talented F1 photographers i rarely have to use curves, but sometimes i do! so i do that as well before i get into the meat of it if needed 😌

then i adjust the tint/temperature & vibrance and saturation until i'm getting the vibe i want (e.g. i love making max photos cooler toned). then i use colour mix to change anything specific about colours in the image (i most commonly use this to make daniel/charles' skin less yellow and more red toned, to soften any redness or to make max's blush pink). then i colour grade!

after that i decide whether the image needs sharpening, extra texture or dehazing, and then i add grain! i prefer a rough, understated grain so that you dont lose loads of the detail from the photo. here's some examples of before and afters of some of my more complex edits:

-> this one was lighting correction and colour correction! i also used curves im pretty sure 😭

-> exposure and contrast changes and colour changes/grading (can we appreciate this photo.. wow)

-> made photo brighter (pretty sure i lowered the highlights..) n changed the temperature of the photo

i hope this helps!!!! if anyone wants me to do like a proper adjustment by adjustment type thing send me an ask and i will do!!! thank you so much kind anon 💖🫵

my advice on drawing backgrounds:

what i do is paint the subject and the bg at the same time,fix the colors to the mood you want as you go, you know 'the drawing has always got to look finished' like every step of the way type of meme

just have fun add whatever you want. 90% of the time you should know what the background would look like before you start and what feeling you're trying to give with the piece.

also keep in mind its a drawing it doesnt have to be realistic that goes for the entire drawinggggg. just position things to flatter the subject thats what i do. maybe we dim the edges, take the saturation off,textures.

always usually you probably want the subject to be the focus sometimes we have to take things like hues and colors out of the background , take out textures , colors, you can do so much. you know if a background is cold i draw the subject warm colors. if its all colorful then i desaturate some parts to add accents to the bg details and the subject…

honestly i never drew backgrounds before ofmd much ever ...it really took all of gods will for me to do that LMAO like i needed a show personalized for my taste i guess~

i do think backgrounds add a gigantic amount of like life and beauty and interest to the piece. but i aint got much life in me so but if you do you do that for sure dont be lazy

[foster-the-moths]

If you don't mind, could you give us a tutorial or brief explanation on how you render hair? /nf

YES!! unfortunately i got. very tired after making this so this is only one hair type :( was gonna go into all the different types of hair textures but. i will just have to do that later. also keep in mind i drew this in like. 7 minutes its just a simple guide to get out the basic steps

^i didn't put music in this so. listen to whatever u want while ur watching this (its 6 minutes 40 seconds). also its slightly sped up this isn't real speed

elaboration of each step under read more:

step 0: look at other hair tutorials/pictures of real hair to figure out how light reflects off of them. then completely disregard that and just make things up (this is the best artistic process trust me i do it every day)

step 1: just get out that basic shape. it doesnt have to be anything fancy,

step 2: just fill it in and adjust the shape as needed

step 3: figure out how the hair moves and flows, which parts go out more (highlights), which parts are closer to the head (shadows/base), etc. i highly recommend just looking at pictures of hair online, or taking pictures of your own hair. for coily/curly hair, you just kind of have to do this for each curl/coil. one thing to keep in mind the highlight is in the middle of the curl/coil and the shadows are on the edges (usually). i'll elaborate more on that once i have an actual video for it

step 4: just make it so the edges of the highlights transition a bit more smoothly into the base color. it just helps for later steps tbh. try not to over do it, don't want to completely get rid of the highlight, just soften it

step 5: add more highlights with thinner brush. this should be where the light would bounce off the hair the MOST. i think i forgot to say in the video uhhh add in some base value too. maybe a few shadows. mostly this step is for highlights tho.

step 6: idk what else to put here sorry. ngl just get silly with it

step 7: it is very important to do one stroke per area in this one. do not lift your pen off the screen/tablet/whatever until the little area youre working on is one smooth transparent shade, then move on to the next. idk if i'm explaining this right hopefully this makes sense.

step 8: complete opposite as step seven. make as many strokes as you feel it needs. not TOO many, just enough to get some texture and then some yk? i recommend making a copy of the layer youre working on before doing this so that if you mess something up you can always go back to square one.

also a lot of these steps apply to pretty much any hair type just. in a completely different shape with completely different rules. which is to say its exactly like this but it actually isn't like this at all. which is why i plan on making other videos some day (hopefully) also look up "hair texture chart" it will help you find the words you need to look up good refs

remember: always get silly with it. the only rule to to make things up and change your mind 400 times. bring a 'fuck it, we ball' mentality to your art program that the haters (your brain) really won't like. practice makes perfect and all that, do NOT expect to get something good first try, sometimes i still struggle with drawing hair in a way that i like and just scrap the whole thing. also i'm not kidding about those real hair reference pictures it helps so so much

hope this helped at least a little bit bc i am not good at explaining things 👍

Theres 3 types of artists in this world. No more, no less. There are painters, sculptors, and draftsmen (not drawers, you dont put a lego set inside someone who likes to use pencils).

Now here’s where it gets interesting: you can be a sculptor, but never pick up a chisel. This is the part thats hardest for people to understand: the only difference between artists is how they use their tools to solve the problem, the problem being their artwork. You can be someone who hates oil paint and loves pen and ink, but still be a painter, it’s completely possible and natural.

What’s the difference, you might ask, ok I’ll explain. A sculptor is someone who creates volume, that is to say, they make stuff that’s three dimensional. Now if you are only using 2-D space, paper, how can you be a sculptor? By using line and shape and color and light to emphasize the form you’re trying to create. “But don’t all artists do that?” Yes! But a sculptor finds that making forms is more important than other things, and would emphasize it more than a painter would.

A painter layers light and color and texture, and creates harmony through this. If you find yourself thinking in layers? You might just be a painter. It’s very much the most common way of making art, and very easy to explain to the layperson. Start with white, add all the red, add all the green, eventually you have a christmas tree, see? Meanwhile a sculptor would see the strength of the tree and the shadow is casts first, and the color and contrast would come after. Where does your mind go when you have to solve this problem? That’s what we’re trying to answer here.

The final type is the rarest, and also the hardest to describe, but I’ll try. Draftsmen care about contrast, the difference between two planes, the difference between shadow and light. You see a bottle and want to draw the bottle, you make an outline to show where the bottle is, and where it’s not. It’s not just making the bottle come towards the viewer, it’s about showing that the bottle is NOT part of the table it sits on. This line cannot be confused with this other line, it is very clear what you are putting there.

Now perhaps you think, after reading this, that maybe you don’t fit in. Or maybe multiple descriptions suited you, and you’re not sure how you’d define yourself. Well the good news is that ultimately it doesnt matter, its just a fun way to describe your process when you make your artwork, and can help you point to other artists who share your disposition. If you want to be all three, I say dare to think different! However if you truly want to key into what makes you strong in art, or what makes your favorite artists strong, this can be a good first step to figuring that out. Good luck and happy arting :)

Hi! I was wondering what size yall were planning to make the voxels in relation to the player?

players will be 2 blocks tall, as akin with minecraft, however our work in progress player model has a bit more shape and detail to it such as proper jointed limbs. the character is 32 pixels tall, however some hairstyle options push it up to about 34 pixels (at most, but it doesnt effect collision). we talked about a 3 block tall character initially, similar to Terraria, but we felt it'd feel too off for players coming over to our game with intial experience from ones like Vintage Story or Minecraft. (still want to add 2 & 3 block tall doors though!) as for the textures, they work similar to minecraft ones when flattened out, making new types and styles easy using different template shapes for both us and if others want to mod new ones in. starting out we currently have 9 different models and with them we plan to have a good 30 or so types, not including the different hair colors. we may consider differing heights, but for now the idea of making even more variants of cosmetic items and armor and movement animations makes me shudder. as for now, we also have several gender/appearance options such as if they want their character to have a larger chest or deeper/higher voice for damage effects and whatnot as well. there's no voice acting, so think similar to the way voices worked in Ocarina of Time. "hyaaaa!" -@recusantalchemist

p.s. heres a bonus picture of our original 3 block tall character design with a vastly different color palette haha

Helloo i want to talk abt the development process about this so heres my rambling below vv

I've been itching to play with blender and tweening for years, but it was just too intimidating to try out. my biggest recommendation is to start small with what you're trying to do and slowly build up from there. ergo: small ass attempts to see if this was even POSSIBLE for me to wrap my head around so made my first test

Very silly headbop animation akin to an edgy animation meme circa 2016. Very fun to do. The whole processes was done through shapekeys in this tab here.

It basically creates a "set" position for your object and then when you manipulate it, like say moving it up, it'll create process that moves the image to and from that position with the "Value" setting. Then you can create keyframes in your animation for the process to complete at a certain point in the animation timeline. And the reason why the "hands" are so much choppier is because you can change the tweening type from smoother transitions to flipping through the frames as they're set. Sorry if this is incomprehensible it took me so many tutorials to understand.

Drew all the files in CSP in separate layers before exporting them on individual pngs. same process throughout development. (with the exception of the details on the boarder.)

SO. i could at LEAST do the basics of tweening, and exporting objects in a coherent way. Now to try a thumbnail drawing for the BIG drawing above, because just because I could make smth jank doesnt mean i could do a whole coherent set.

Test 2! Very rough idea of the big image below. Once again everything here was made via csp, and exported. This was when my friend suggested using the grease pencil in blender which i DID end up using in the final product for a part of the drawing. Still messing with the basics here but it was fun to make the stars glow and play with the lighting settings. The shadow resolution is so high here but my computer could handle it bc of how little parts there were.

I did also try to export the files as one big PNG and chop them up but I couldn't figure it out.

So i went with exporting everything as different PNGS. Which did create an issue with importing? Nothing was exactly to "scale" but it was an easy enough fix.

So with that all handled there was enough confidence to go onto ACTUALLY creating the drawing fully. This part will have more artsy wips than not bc I actually had to Draw. and make so many layers.

So my first instinct was to block out the shapes and color code by how things would be layered. The lighter a shape the closer itd be to the camera via layering

Which is something i picked up from my 3d model of vitor

matchies!

And heres me ultimately settling on a pose and starting to build up the "paper" doll that is Eri

^ The layers were just for the lineart of eri. btw. my puter loves me.

Building up the stage + figuring out colors and the ground. eri did infact have a face considered but i thought they looked cooler without one.

Complete image without the texturing

Then you have the finished image in the first post :3! Here they are broken up into many many MANY pieces.

Then the stage. Kept Eri and the Stage in separate folders for ease of uploading!

I don't have many progress shots of me building up this all IN blender but I can open its finished file. heres the build without shadows on

Upward shot (with and withouth the border because uh.,? grease pencil is. strange. in blender. i think it follows your view no matter the angle?)

You can see Eri's layering here (as well as clipping issues)

Side view of everything (with shadows/camera/lighting objects on!)

The reason why the star is glowing is bc it has emission on in the shading view! I dont get nodes at ALL and im too scared to try but it looks cool!

I remember trying to add translucence to Eri's sleeves

But it got lost in the shading process

oh whale.

But ultimately the set up went well! Took a long while to get the animations sorted out (esp bc i switched em up like. half way thru and had to redo/change it up). It was fun to try and get timing right! I believe i wanted to add a squash n stretch effect to Eri's hair, but it looked a bit strange. Would like to try it again at some point.

ANYYWAYY with the GREASE pencil effect

This bit took. a minute. for me to figure out. Getting the symmetry effect to work as well as using a lineart/fill brush. Among MANY tutorials this one was my best friend . Really recommend it if you're interesting in 2d blender stuff.

The effects used was Glow, Shadow, and Rim! Rim being the thing that gave it it's texture. Which. isnt what its typically used for? but it worked anyway!

but heres it without that stuff. strange.

For the Modifiers I used Mirror (symmetry tool) and Noise (which is what gave its shake effect in the video!)

yeag. If you turn up the position slider it uhhh

does that! Very careful balance between clipping layers and such.

This was pretty much it though! Or at least what comes to mind. It was very taxing but very rewarding. I think i got this done in like... 2.5..? or 3.5 days. From the start of the eri color blocking to this. Faster than my other drawings but lord. so many tutorials. rant over

Birthday gift for my friend @spiritumantophila for their @thewizardprincessau! (Image ver below!)

Blender render vs the CPS file where I drew everything in separate layers! I referenced alleesaur's 2.5d art method and I recommend checking out her stuff!

What do you think is the slasher's (Al, Michael Myers, Brahms, Jason, and Candyman) favorite drink?

It's hot out where I live so water is a MUST

It is no longer hot here! But let's gooooo ^^

All of these are of course just my opinion, feel free to disagree and make your own list, I just wrote this all out for fun ^^ . I haven't seen Candyman yet, so I added some of my own favourites instead.

Michael Myers (RZ):

Likes sweeter drinks

Between tea and coffee, he prefers tea, but likes it with milk

Would drink boba tea and love it - big fan of textures and custom sweetness

Likes seasonal flavours! Pumpkin spice :))

Also a big fan of homemade hot chocolate. It's a comfort drink

He goes for easy things, if he's raiding your kitchen cabinet, he will absolutely take the instant hot cocoa powder

Not a fan of fizzy drinks, instead he loves fruit juices

Brahms Heelshire:

Tea snob - black tea or rooibos

Not so much green tea.

Drinks coffee too, but it has to be made very specifically and needs sugar and creamer

He likes the fruity, aromatic coffee beans

If you make it for him, he has you do it over until its to his liking

but once you get it down, he won't want to drink anything that isn't made by you

Would he be equally snobby when it comes to alcohol? Probably. I'd say red wine, particularly merlot or shiraz. Not so much cabernet sauvignon

Would have champagne too

Don't think he can handle anything stronger than that, though

The Grabber:

He's rarely one to induldge much, so soda's are for Saturday nights

He likes beer, whiskey and wine a good amount

During the day, he drinks mostly water

and is fine with both tea and coffee

when he has coffee on the weekends, he likes to take his time - has both a french press and a moka pot for different moods

Prefers strong flavours and isn't afraid of bitterness

Sometimes adds cardemom to his coffee

Big fan of glühwein - warm spicy stuff is great in his book

Thomas Hewitt:

Sweetened iced tea

If not iced, he still likes (sweetened) tea. He prefers those sweetener tablets over sugar

Pop soda's are a treat, so getting to have cola or fanta or other fizzy drinks are high up on his list of drinks he likes, even though he doesnt get to have them often

There's a mix drink that was popular (where I live) a generation or two ago, and I feel like it'd be a big favourite of Thomas' too: its cola (or instant lemonade), coffee creamer and sugar mixed together :)

Lester Sinclair:

Keeps decently hydrated while on the road

His fave is bottled mineral water, no bubbles

Also big on several kinds on soda's or iced tea

When he's home and has the funds and time, he likes making smoothies. If you made some for him, he'd be over the moon

He likes fruity types of sweet things, but dislikes artificial flavours, so would prefer to make iced tea and smoothies at home

He likes beer, but is mostly a social drinker. Has a few beers with Bo or with friends when he feels like it

Vincent Sinclair:

His mug is called NOT paint water

The other mug does have paint water - yes this has gone wrong before and it probably will again

He prefers tea over coffee, but mostly because he's very sensitive to caffeine and going without can give him headaches

Green tea, herbal tea and black tea are his preference

Not a big fan of sweet things, not like Lester or Bo

As for alcohol, red wine or stronger ones. He doesn't like the smokey taste of most whiskeys, but likes schnapps

Bo Sinclair:

Likes coffee, with a little bit of sugar on the weekends

Has orange juice most mornings - no pulp

Will drink iced tea but only if Lester made it

Likes sweet drinks, but will be kinda weird about it

Doesn't get to go out for drinks often, but when he does, he can't resist caramal flavoured drinks

Likes alcohol too, beer and rum being favourites

[willowwhispersspeakeasy]

Absolutely loved the Asmo + MC w/ eczema prompt! Can I request something similar with the Pomfiore boys?

twst! mc w/ eczema

characters: Vil Schoenheit, Rook Hunt, Epel Felmier

warnings: gender neutral mc, scaring and wounds, I almost made myself cry writing Rooks so warning

Vil

Vil may not handle it well at first. you may need to explain to him that, no you can't just put more foundation on to cover the redness in your skin, thats only going to hurt and make it worse. and you very much do not just have a dry skin type, this goes far beyond that.

once he understands it is a skin disease, he will pause. you may even get an apology from him. Vil is likely to have you sit down with him and fully explain your experience with eczema. what makes it better, what makes it worse, so on.

being the expert he is not only in skincare but potions making he will probably make you some kind of cream for you to use. its soothing on the skin and anti inflammatory. something to take the edge off when you get a flare.

Rook

he thinks you're beautiful. the redness in your skin cuts like veins of marble. the scarring like patches of flowers. he could stare at you all day and every intricacy your skin shows. the cracks of dry skin to him look like a renaissance oil painting. the texture only adds to the tragic beauty of the piece.

Rook is always gentle when he touches you. he doesnt want to cause you any pain from pressing on a raw patch of skin or a healing wound. he touches and holds you like fine art. something beautiful he cannot let himself damage.

if you ever say you are insecure of any scarring, Rook will ask you if you can keep a secret. if you agree you'll get the chance to see why he always wears long sleeves. why the other students haven't seen him shirtless before. you can trace the scars along his arms and back, the ones over his chest as well if you like. he remembers each one fondly, perhaps he can teach you to do the same.

Epel

he doesnt really know what to make of it. you'll need to explain it to him, but he listens closely. hes gentle with any questions, but ernist in his desire for understanding.

poor boy doesnt know how to help, but hes quick to jump to your defense. if someone were to point it out or make an unwanted comment he'll be up in arms quickly, ready to defend you. looks do not define a person, and you probably put more effort into your skin then they do anyway.

Epel never looked at you strangely or thought of you differently. scarring, redness, or scaling, he never looks on you with pity either. for him it simply, is.

[furballfaggot]

the creatures have spoken. here is the fully unedited successful recipe, save for a couple extra notes i made when i posted them on discord and some clarifications. additional notes and failed attempts under the cut. please tag me if you make these i wanna know what yall think!!!!!!!!!!!

gio treats mk3 -- unedited recipe, more info at the bottom

goal of gio treats: crunchy, tastes good, bone

mk2 advancements: better texture, somewhat more of a taste, actually a bit crunchy, thick enough to cut beforehand

mk3 goals: stronger flavor, proper crunch

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup cornbread mix

2 tbsp butter, melted

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp curry powder

1 1/2 cup beef brof (made with 4 bullion cubes) (note: bullion is deliberately spelled billion in the original text)

small amount of any nice herbs (added to broth -- strained out probably) (note: i used bay leaves and parsley just to keep it simple, but feel free to add whatever you want)

egg

pinch of salt and pepper (note: originally typed out as "pincha salt n peppy")

"enough pancake mix to make it stick again"

preheat oven to 375 faggotheit

roll dough onto flat surface and cut into bone

transgender to GREASED cookie sheet

poke 4 holes into each bone with toothpick (mostly for looks tbh)

bake until baked (bout 21 minutes)

let cool until cool (7ish minutes)

serves people*, probably

for storage keep in ziploc bag. for added effect make sure its one of those ones that can stand up on their own when theres stuff in em

for the past week ive been trying to make a human body compatible dog treat of sorts because I Am Dog And I Am Weird. this is the 3rd attempt, which worked out wonderfully. im going to make a thread for the notes ive got about this recipe as well as the 2 rejects from before after i send this message, so dont be alarmed by that. no real editing done aside from this note because i think its funnier this way and i wanna preserve the energy behind the whole endeavor. feel free to substitute anything you want in place of anything here -- the broth and cornbread mix are what give these their flavor, so if you want something that isnt savory you should start there. none of this was based on any preexisting recipes, i just thought of what makes baked things how they are and threw bullshit numbers at the wall for a while

mark 3 original baking notes:

- the cornbread mix definitely fucked with the consistency some. in my defense we ran out of all-purpose flour after the 1 1/2 cups i used

- added 3 bay leaves and a couple shakes of parsley into the broth and didnt strain it. the bay leaves were discarded but the parsley stayed

- number 1 most unsettling feeling in the world: picking used wet bay leaves out of cold beef broth

- pancake mix was used ONLY to get the dough to where itd possibly keep its shape. DO NOT use any more of it than you need to

- something in this batch is making the dough rise. pancake mix? cornbread mix?? self-rising flour i used on the cutting board and rolling pin??? hopefully it doesnt fuck things up too bad either way

- froze the other half of the dough for future use. for What im not sure but for something

- is melting the butter the way to go or should i just let it soften? much to consider. there are many such cases. etc etc

- it looks like they dont rise all that much actually. definitely not enough to be a major issue wrt: if they touch but no verdict on taste and texture just yet

- i will say they definitely *look* better when theyve risen a bit. just aesthetics wise

- im gonna load the dishwasher while these bake

- toothpick doesnt squish and comes out clean after being taken out of the oven. so far so gamer

mark 3 original tasting notes:

- oh fuck yes

- FUCK yes

- FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

- theyre just dry enough, just crunchy enough, and just flavorful enough. fuck YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- the perfect little treat -- not too much flavor, but not too little of it either. just dry enough to dissuade having too many at once and/or to encourage more frequent hydration

- the cornbread mix was the PERFECT addition

- the thinner ones are a little off i will say. a bit burnt i think? but still not horrible

- the beef and herb flavors are just present enough for me

- im gonna be real i was NOT thinking these would turn out so good but im not upset in the slightest. might try and make a sweet version at some point if only so i can use it for my party in july

- mother of god i wish i had an actual tail to wag rn. that thing would be goin at like warp speed. curse this human flesh

- would absolutely KILL with soup. i might make extra noodle soup just for this theory

gio treats mk2

goal of gio treats: crunchy, tastes good, bone

mk2 goal: savory??? strong flavor also. ideally can be cut into from the start, to minimize waste

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tbsp butter, melted

2 tsp onion powder

1 1/2 cup beef brof

egg

pincha salt

preheat oven to 350 faggotheit

spread onto pan

roll dough onto flat surface and cut into bone

transgender to GREASED cookie sheet

bake until baked (bout 25 minutes)

let cool until cool (10ish minutes)

serves people*, probably

mark 2 original notes:

- dough was VERY sticky. like "put flour on the workspace and the rolling pin or you will have made glue" levels of sticky

- looks like ive got the ratio down for the right consistency to roll and cut into shapes! they were still a little limp when i moved them from the cutting board to the cookie sheet but thats probably easily fixed with a quick chill

- going for a savory approach here. if it works i might see if i cant recreate this with other liquids and spices. and one eggs

- better?

- flavor is less faint than mk1 but still not really all that present. the onion powder didnt really do much tbh

- a little chewy still. tiel suggested cooking them at a higher temp so ill probably try that next

- probably fucks hard with soup though

- the onion powder is kinda overpowering tbh

gio treats mark 1

goal of gio treats: crunchy, tastes good, bone

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tbsp butter, melted

2 tbsp brown sugar

"an amount" almond extract

4 tbsp honey

1/2 cup milk

preheat oven to 350 faggotheit

spread onto pan

bake lightly until just coherent enough to cut into (4ish minutes)

use bone cookie cutters to make into bone shapes (depending on how well you spread them they may be difficult to keep coherent)

bake until baked (bout 23 minutes)

let cool until hardened at least slightly (11 minutes)

serves people*, probably

mark 1 original notes:

- theyre fine. nothin to write home about. not quite what i was hoping for but fuck it we ball

- theyre kinda chewy? i might have made them too thick. or maybe there wasnt a good enough balance in the batter. ill have to work on that next time

- the sanding sugar i quietly added to the batter did nothing for the crunch factor actually

- almond extract is definitely not the right flavor for this one. it bakes into a light and delicate blink-and-you-miss-it taste, but too much and it overpowers the rest of it

- why did i use honey again? flair? prissybitchism? it does nothing

- like, theres hardly ANY almond here. its a ghost within this thing

- maybe i didnt bake them long enough actually. maybe they need more time in the oven

- maybe beef flavored gio treats would be pretty good actually. wonder what they make dog treats out of. im gonna google that actually

- ok im back. milk-bone treats (the ones i like the aesthetics of) are made with wheat flour, meat flavors, and a whole lotta chemicals i dont wanna read rn. so it cant be too hard

extra post-success notes:

- the honey in mark 1 may have actually been detrimental to the treats as a whole. my guess is somewhere along the way they fucked with the consistency and made them so chewy

- "an amount" lol

- i cannot stress enough that you have to grease your baking sheet and flour your workspace holy shit

- can you tell the bulk of these instructions were written super late at night

- the slight rise of mark 3 is perfect actually. makes them nice and airy while still giving them a good crunch

- dont roll the dough too thin!!!!!! they will burn slightly and suck lotsly if you do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- i didnt have to pick the bay leaves out by hand

- but i did

- i was gonna pour the broth out anyways

- i did start a load of dishes and look up what milk-bones were made of when i said id do those things. just btw

- i did actually time those baking and cooling times with the stopwatch feature of my clock app! those are not easy estimates, i actually did those ones right

- if it wasnt for me running out of flour partway through mark 3 i would never have added cornbread mix. everyone say thank you to the flour bag being so pathetically tiny

ive been trying and failing for the past couple nights to make a Human Body Compatible dog treat from scratch and yes i KNOW i can just use my bone cookie cutters on any dough i want to but thats different to me. thats just bone-shaped cookies. i dont want that. what i want is something superficially resembling a milk-bone dog treat but made for people and also not with a buncha chemicals i cant read. ive got 2 attempts under my belt so far and i intend to try more. ill post those drafts eventually

Ultimate Luck 🍀 Nagito Komaeda

Here’s my Nagito HC design! Full details under cut because I wrote a LOT

EDIT: I forgot to add that he’s autistic

HC Details/Additions:

Intersex- Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (basically mostly feminine body with undeveloped masculine reproductive system and a feminine reproductive system coexisting)

Raised female, but transitioned as young teen. Has not had too surgery, has a small chest and no dysphoria about them but might get it just out of convenience.

Genderfluid transmasc (neoboy usually)

Gay

Ectomorph - Meaning he is extremely lean with little muscle mass. He could eat as much as he wants but his body struggles keeping the wait. It doesn’t help that he simply doesn’t eat that much, to the point of sometimes only eating once a day (Much to everyone’s dismay)

Small chest, slightly larger hips and butt, little muscle, and sickly skinny

Can‘t catch a tan to save his life, but also doesn’t sunburn very easily. He might get some freckles though! They just fade when he’s not outside constantly.

Has asthma, though it’s not as bad as it could be because he took immunotherapy as a kid which helped with allergies. He forgets his inhaler a lot.

Autistic- He stims with his hands a lot, and rubs his patches (different textures). He also verbally stims, but he masks that most. In my opinion, most of his existing personality already aligns with someone with autism, but I won’t go into detail. (Also yes I am projecting with this diagnosis a tad bit but I do not care)

He’s the same height, just wears platform boots on top of that so he’s taller now.

Dry, fluffy, curly hair- He might have ringlets if it wasn’t so dry and sick. It gets bleached by the sun on top of the sickness so it’s extra pale. He probably bleached it at some point just for the heck of it. Point is, he has hair damage

Peircings- Right eyebrow, multiple on ears, used to have nose and bellybutton piercings

Eyes- there‘s no definite pupil how I drew them. This doesnt mean he has eye problems, though I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s to show he has a carefree look most of the time. He also has pale eyes too, which means they are sensitive to light and he would wear sunglasses if he cared about his eye health. Also he wears eyeliner, though it’s nothing special, just a wing or outline. He has under eye bags, whether they’re from his allergies (asthma) or lack of sleep is a mystery.

Injuries- he hurts himself often, so he has a lot of bandages. Usually he has bandages on his fingers, even though he might only have scabs. He doesn’t want to pick the scabs, and he thinks they look cute. The bandage on his neck is from a burn and the one on his nose is a cut. He also has messed up cuticles from biting his nails when younger a lot (another reason for bandaging them).

Hands- bandages from injuries, nail polish (he likes to paint them different colors, and when he starts biting his nails again he puts the bad tasting one on to stop himself, also his nails are very chipped), rings, usually up and in motion to emphasize his speech (he talks with his hands). He also writes reminders on his hands or arm sometimes. He’s ambidextrous.

Jewlery- various necklaces, bracelets, and rings from his travels. He has a belt chain and collects cute charms too. He also has a dog tag with his name on it, though a small corner broke off. He has clover and skull charms, some cuter ribbons and animal shapes (notably a dog one that he doesn’t take out too often) and an intersex charm for pride. He collects bangles, pearls, beads, kandi, and any type of chain or bracelet he can get his hands on. He also has rings on his fingers when they don’t have bandages, usually simpler bands and no stones. He has a ring from his parents on the same chain as his dog tag, but that’s one of the only ones he owns with stones. He wears a choker, and has a belt chain instead of a wallet chain.

Clothing- it’s the same, but the jacket and pants are more ripped up. His sleeves aren’t ripped either, but he has patches on his jacket and pants now. He especially likes the clover one on his right knee. He has patches from his travels as souvenirs, like locations, concerts, or shapes that symbolize something to him.

Shoes- They’re calf-high platforms with chunky bottoms. Lace-ups with scuff marks, but Special because he doodles on them when he gets bored (a lot of things about talents and hope on them, but also daily reminders for himself).

Hey, I'm sending an ask out of concern for you spm designs. Is there any particular reason you made Count Bleck the darkest out of everyone you've drawn? Maybe I just haven't seen you full line up for all of them, but I scrolled pretty far in you tag and it's not a good look to make the main villain of a series the darkest out of everyone, especially since you're white. Also, some tips on drawing black people, the top lip is usually the darker lip and maybe consider learning how to draw for textured hair (Bleck seems to have some pretty loose curls)

hi-

i’ve taken this ask into consideration and i’ve been discussing with a friend of color or two just to get some second opinions on the subject bc i dont think this is really an issue i can resolve alone 

bleck’s lip coloration was my mistake, and ive reuploaded the picture to correct that (and i’ll avoid making that same mistake in the future) & as for the curls i’m sorry i wasn’t able to properly represent the type of hair i was going for (it was meant to be more loose curls but it may be too loose and if that’s the case i’m going to try and fix it) 

as for the fact that hes the darkest in the lineup, i also talked to a friend or two about that and we both came to the conclusion that yes, that is a problem 

(for context: here is the lineup of the characters, though some of these drawings are old as 2018- i’ve marked characters who are drawn exactly as they are in-game with a yellow star: 3/5 of the heroic characters are human to begin with and 2/5 of the villain characters are human to begin with) 

we both agreed that the human to nonhuman ratio still doesnt exist in a bubble so in the near future i’m going to readjust this lineup. as far as next steps i’m still figuring out what would be best: i’m currently thinking that the best option may be to make count bleck himself lighter, as making others in the lineup like mimi and nastasia darker to match him would probably just make the problem worse. 

if any of my followers of colour would like to add input, please feel free- however it’s not a requirement and i don’t want to push my own mistakes onto poc who shouldnt need to carry other peoples burdens 

ty for your input, and have a good rest of your night

May I request Brunos gang headcannons with a new transgender male member? It doesnt have to be romantic and id rather it not be. Please message me if you have questions. Some details id like to see: He is around the same age as Trish and no longer can live with his parents. He doesnt have much money so he binds his chest with bandages and fabric he can find. He hasn't transitioned at all and his gender isnt obvious. his hair is cut poorly due to cutting it himself. i hope this is okay!

This was hard to do. Trans identity is tricky to write as a non-Trans writer. Hopefully I did you justice!

Non rom.

Bucci gang w/ a Transgender male member HC

Bucciarati

The most understanding of the group.

He's horrified that such a young person has to live by themselves, especially if your gender identity is the reason you have no caretakers.

He makes sure to introduce you properly to the team and makes them understand your situation, so that you feel comfortable around everyone.

You're part of the family now, it doesn't matter what you look like or what you identify as.

Will ask you if it's okay for you to go undercover as female for specific missions, or it's that's too uncomfortable.

If you'd rather not it's okay, Fugo will do.

He comes back one day with a package on one arm.

Turns out it's a custom made binder, all perfectly fitted to your specific body type and size!

So that's why he was so insistent on taking your measurements, without ever explaining why... That sly man.

Still, you couldn't be more grateful. Those things were so expensive.

"As long as you feel comfortable and stay in good health, I'm satisfied, Y/N."

Abbachio

He's the last one to care.

If anything, the thing he hates about you is that offensive hairstyle, are you kidding him?

Boy, girl, mischief, he doesn't care what your gender is or what's in your pants, he just doesn't want you to disrespect his eyes with such a horrendous haircut.

Like, seriously, who hurt you?

Takes you apart and forces your ass on a chair to actually give you a proper cut/shave.

Bucciarati is here too, to give advice on what looks good and works for your face shape and hair texture.

Abbachio has a fairly feminine appearance himself and hardly ever follows gender norms, so he's not fazed by your own neutral or 'confusing' physique.

Just tell him your pronouns already, or else he'll call you 'Brat' out of doubt, that's pretty gender neutral.

Would appreciate it if you trusted him enough to confess about your dysphoria, as he is victim of it as well.

Yes, even a Cis-man can feel dysphoric from time to time. Please pull each other up.

Giorno

As expected of him, he is very respectful.

The very first time he mistook you for a girl, but immediately apologized for his mistake and never got it wrong again.

In fact, he was so kind and polite about it, it's impossible to stay mad at him.

Afterwards he asks a lot of questions to be sure to know the boundaries you set, what is okay and not okay to talk about or do.

Will help you style your hair in the prettiest way and adds a lot of flowers on top of it.

He is a very feminine boy himself and will make you feel handsome and confident about your more feminine traits, just the way you deserve to be treated.

If he can rock the long hair, pink clothes, cute flowers and ladybugs ornaments and still look handsome as hell, then you can perfectly rock whatever physical traits you have. He believes in you.

Uses Gold Experience on you when you're on your periods so that it last shorter.

Helps you bind your chest until you can get a proper binder, and makes sure to be very gentle with you.

Has stolen Testosterone for you, and will do it again.

Mista

The most oblivious to your gender at first.

He can't tell if you're a boy or a girl and asks you a bunch of dumb questions without really thinking of the behinds of it.

If you get offended he'll just tell you he's trying to understand and is so confused.

It takes time and a lot of explaining, but he eventually gets it and, even though he still has a lot of questions, he decides to shut up.

Hey, you were pretty nice and funny and your Stand powers were dope, so at the end of the day, who cares?

He may be a bit of a dummy, but Mista is kind. He teaches you to shave in case you grow facial hair in the future.

He'll tell you all those grown up advices about how 'You start off with small peachfuzzes and before you know it, you got a full grown ass beard'.

Goes full Big Brother™ on you.

In fact, he barely calls your name at all, only calls you 'Bro', 'Fratellino', 'Mini me', 'Bambino', 'Big guy', or anything of the caliber.

Makes you workout with him to get those big ass guns and broad shoulders (or just... Your desired body type).

Narancia

Oh god, you don't have to fret about a thing.

He's just like you and gets misgendered All. The. Goddamn. Time.

His appearance is effortlessly androgynous and he sounds fairly prepubescent as well, so you're in the same boat here.

He doesn't really care and would love it for you to not care as well. He's used to it anyways.

It's not like your gender identity is gonna stop him from dragging you into his shenanigans and make you bust the sickest moves he knows.

You two are out together and get cat called by some obnoxious dudes on the streets.

You have to stop him from blasting them with Aerosmith because, as much as he's used to being called a 'She',

He WON'T stand other people misgendering you.

"HEY! SHUT THE FUCK UP! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! Y/N, tell him to go suck your dick! Oh- you don't have one yet? Huh... Well uh... SUCK MY DICK, ASSHOLE! Sorry about that Y/N."

Tells you you're lucky you don't have balls because those hurt really bad sometimes.

Fugo

Is too shy to ask too specific questions about your body or sexuality, but would love to know everything about it.

Especially the more psychologic aspect of your gender identity. How it affects your mental state, how you feel, what made you realize you were trans etc.

He may seem insensitive about it, but he's really not. He's just interested and takes it with a very scholar approach.

He pretends he really doesn't care at all, but he does a lot of research and harasses Bucciarati with questions about you.

You ask him to help you bind your chest one day and he becomes a blushy mess.

He'll help you anyway though, trying to be as neutral as possible out of respect for you.

He doesn't want to get flustered and let you imagine that he sees you as 'a girl', so he plays it cool.

It's... It's just a chest right? No big deal...

He slipped up one day and almost called the wrong pronouns and when he does, he just screams. Loud.

"Let's go ask Y/N then, where is sh-hhhhhhiiiaaaaaaAAAAAAAAARRGGHHHHH!!!!!"

He doesn't know how to come back from these mistakes and he's so embarassed.

Trish

You two have so much in common, surprisingly.

You're both young teens and your parents have left you down. You could only lift each other up.

She immediately knows you're a boy and gets so confused when people misgender you.

I mean... You look a bit feminine, yes, but there were plenty of men like this. And more so than you'd ever imagine. Especially at only 15.

Also, you introduced yourself as 'Y/N', that's pretty much masculine, or at the very least, gender neutral.

"Pfft, don't listen to them, Y/N. They're so darn stupid."

Helps you voice train, e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y.

She knows a lot of vocal warm ups and exercises to not strain your vocal chords and helps you get that perfect deep voice you try to achieve.

It's just like singing in a way, right? She helps you find your vocal range to expand it and lower it to your prefered pitch.

She's so proud of you when you manage to finally use a much deeper and manly voice!

She has very short hair herself, and she'll defintely help you style yours properly and take you to her personal hairdresser (a very kind femboy who's super funny and who's gonna love you to bits)
