the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

So I learned recently that a friend who I've known for almost a year is trans... And it's because I mentioned that all the guys at the party should be peeing on the lemon tree and he said he lacks the necessary equipment

vampire lovers 🩸🦇 (vtm rosebird)

I had some mixed feelings about the ending but you wrote most of the things I loved. I was surprised and amused by Agatha being the most toxic one in the relationship. I spent so much time expecting Rio to be the manipulative bad guy and instead Agatha was the worse one imo if not for what Kathryn said in all those interviews I’m not even sure if I’d believe she ever truly loved Rio

Hi Anon! Mixed feelings are totally understandable because while we did get some great stuff we also got disappointments and weird developments and unanswered questions and missed opportunities.

I mean, I feel kinda vindicated like I've always held Rio to be a truth-teller. Partly because I'm autistic and Rio is so autistic coded.

And it gels with the character: she's the Lawful to Agatha's Chaotic. Rio may not volunteer information but I don't recall her ever lying. She's only been truthful with Agatha in terms of what she intends to do.

And yes, in terms of storytelling -- assuming the show wants us to ship these two -- it is now on Agatha to square how she feels about Rio.

Because the finale showed us how much Rio seriously cares and is pained by the relationship, and gives us a prime example of how she has given "special treatment" to Agatha with Nicky.

Because the final turn of Agatha being a ghost implies she's betraying Rio again, at least emotionally given how Rio seriously took her death.

We also didn't get flashbacks of them doing their whole "work and play" thing together. Like yeah we saw Agatha killing people, but where's the character of Rio and how does Agatha look to her?

It honestly feels like the finale basically did more set up for this ship than anything else, by fleshing out Rio as a character (which was needed) and showing a couple of moments of their history together, but there's so so much more we could get into – past and present.

Hii first of all, I FUCKIN LOVE YOUR ART! ITS GORGEOUS AND IM SURE EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND YOU REALLY GIVE YOUR SOUL INTO THAT🤧 Your color palette looks so good, What do you pay attention to when painting? (Like when do you think its better to use multiply or something like that and etc.)

first off, I'M HAPPY YOU CAN TELL THAT I PUT MY SOUL INTO MY ART!!! im genuinely in love with drawing and am always finding ways to make creating art enjoyable and impress myself with what i can achieve and learn :D

second, thanks for asking your question!! i dont mind answering it, but my response is quite long. here's my thinking process:

(you specified layer modes like multiply, so im gonna gear my answer towards that a bit) 1. REFERENCE SEARCHING IS KING. color is actually extremely hard for me, so i search around for artworks with palettes i'd like to use and study how an artist uses it. some situations i have a clear idea of what i want, but usually the images in my head are extremely vague, so i borrow palettes from various other artworks that fit the vibe of what i want. an example is this one. my main palette reference were from these artworks. im looking at this artist's use of high saturates and how drawings are overlayed on top of each other. while looking at references, im asking myself how is this artist using warm/cools, where are these warm/cools placed, if their illustration used any form of texturing (like halftones, hatching), how do they use their palette to render form/shape/gradient, when/where do they saturate/desaturate their colors. those questions inform my decisions when using colors too.

2. USING LAYER MODES WHEN NECESSARY. i used to be reliant on multiply for everything, which atp i dont do since i can definitely push colors more first before using layer modes. only when i feel like my current colors are lacking do i start tinkering with tone curves and/or brightness/contrast/hue/saturation/luminosity settings. and if that doesn't work, then i start using layer modes. using layer modes do help with achieving certain effects, color corrections, or when i want to fuck around and find out. i think having a better understanding of what these modes can do makes you more decisive on how you can properly utilize them and to achieve a particular look (like using multiply for a cel shaded style). here's an example:

this leads into my next point:

3. BALANCING OUT VALUES. big thing that makes an illustration hard to read is if values blend together which affects the hues and contrast. i check for what elements need to be distinguished from one another and if it can be read clearly. using layer modes can either help with this or not help at all. it's very dependent on the type of layer mode. here's this example where i applied pin light:

back to #2, there are various instances where i'm using layer modes for quick color corrections and/or to help with readability:

other times, i start off having my entire subject in gray and to figure out main shadow/lights (similar to the multiply cel shaded process i linked ealier). im thinking about what this should look like if i only used 2 value tones:

when in doubt though, i check my artwork in grayscale to ensure values aren't overly blended into each other, especially if i didnt start with grayscale like this one:

painting for me takes into consideration a lot of different aspects. im thinking about how colors should interact, where/when to give contrast, checking/balancing out values, etc, but im also making it a time to study off of how other artists use their colors through the references i collected.

hope this answered your question! lmk if there's more :]
