Devil's advocates

They say, out there, that even the devil himself needs help from time to time.

However, it's not just any kind of help, it needs to come from some special source, from someone who has enough power and understanding to know what kind of things they are going to get into. And of course, he must have the guarantee that, regardless of the matter, he will always win.

The requirements that can lead to hell for anyone who dares to work for him, but just as life is a risk, so it is the opposite side of it.

“My team is highly qualified to quickly take any job assigned to them. Once we take it, there's no going back."

Jinki, the leader of SHINee's firm, fully trusts his partners. Fifteen years of experience support them, and in all that time, among their thousands of cases, there has only been one that they could not win, with the only client with whom you will never be able to obtain what you are looking for.

Kibum refuses to talk about it, despite being in charge of giving the firm a voice, but not because he believes that it will tarnish their reputation. No. It was just a difficult case that didn't end the way he planned. And that is more frustrating than many can actually think.

“We can get the information from anyone and anywhere. It is not a problem."

Taemin boasts of his ability to find the lost things and execute the plans that Kibum dictates; That boy, the youngest in the firm, is quite a special case: he can find anything from anyone, but when it comes to his own things that he himself loses, there is nothing to do. Perhaps that is why the firm holds it to the highest standards to get things done by any means.

And when the time comes to things to escalate and action is required, Minho is the best in his range to carry out the actions that are needed. By good or by force. For Choi Minho there is no other option, the intelligence of his movements combined with his military physique leaves no doubt that he has rarely had to use that force for the case to continue its course smoothly.

And since behind every great team there is a great base, Jonghyun has everything on his side. It has been some time since he became discreet, silent and keeping a low profile since he is almost never seen and his office is in the highest and most restricted part of the entire building, however, it is the foundation of the firm: by his hands -and prodigiously mind- he passes all the cases that are received, patiently reads them, breaks them down and turns them into the stories that are told for each case and for each person.

Without it, the team would simply be lost, and they wouldn't know where to start or where to go.

“Without night there would be no day, without silence there would be no noise. Everything is a cycle and Jonghyun understands it. We also understood it."

"And what are your fees?" The devil himself must ask the question, because he knows in advance that everything has a price, even for him.

“Regardless of the case, the team will always work together. We don't fire anyone, we don't replace anyone, and no one takes a case for themselves. We can act individually, but in the end, it all comes together with us. If one works, we all work. And even if we lose, the guarantee is the team itself. We all accept that clause."

“The devil just looks at Jinki and smiles.

“A deadly fair deal.”

This is not a fic, just a small text I got inspired to write while working on the images :) The idea was only to edit the images with the Photoshop beta version that works with AI (pretty good actually, I like it!), I was just playing a little with the edits ahaha, but hope you all like them :)

Haunted by this image of Barry Sloane and Richard Short's faces photoshopped over John and Paul's faces. Uncanny valley. Absolutely unsettling. Weirdest promo ever

GET TO KNOW ME ✧˖°.

This is long, so I'm popping it under a read more. Thanks to @allyennah and @sealrock for tagging me!

Tagging: @haellen-o, @ainyan, @fair-fae, @thefreelanceangel, @joiedecombat & you!

are you named after anyone? Technically my name is from Greek mythos! I don't think that's why my mum named me that, though; I think she just liked it. She wanted a name that was unusual enough that people could pronounce, but unusual enough there wasn't likely to be too many people with the same name.

when was the last time you cried? I watched Game Changer last night where the contestants were being really nice to Jess and made her cry so that got me crying. LOL.

do you have kids? Ha. Haha. HAHAHA. no.

do you use sarcasm a lot. I'm Australian.

what sports do you play/have you played? Outside of like school-mandated sports (not that I play any now), I played Netball/Softball as a kid! Softball has a special place in my heart because, while I wasn't very good at it, I did have a lot of fun.

what is the first thing you notice about other people? Nothing, I am literally the most oblivious person on the planet. KSDFJGHSD. I think, especially being online, I tend to notice how people speak and treat each other - if that counts.

scary movies or happy endings? I'm more of a 'watch other people dissect and consume horror' so I would say happy endings... but I do love a good horror movie, even if I personally suck at consuming it.

any special talents? I write! I feel like that tends to get overlooked in roleplay communities because we all write, but I've had work of mine published in marketing/academic circles so I can vouch it's decent. Outside of that, I used to/can video edit, and I'm also passable at photshop.

where were you born? 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. I'm joking. I was born in Sydney, though.

do you have any hobbies? Gaming, writing, reading, photo manipulation. I watch far too many niche video essays.

do you have any pets? She's not so much my pet, but I was adopted by my the partner's family cat, Lucy. She might as well be mine at this stage, though.

how tall are you? I think like 5'6-7? I'll ask my doctor when I see her next, I genuinely don't remember.

favourite subject in school. Surprising absolutely no-one, English.

dream job? You tell me and we'll both know. I flip-flop between so many things I'd like to do verses what is feasible to do. I think realistically, if I could do university over again, I'd focus more on psychology... but I don't know if I'd be a psychologist.

eye colour? My eyes are weird. They're sort of blue/green when you look close and one has a freckle. I love them, but they're weird.

Tetris stop motion group project.

We were given this template in class, and asked to draw over the template design in Photoshop, with our own designs, relating to monsters.

Here is the design I completed on Photoshop. I enjoyed this task, it was relatively easy and did not take too long to complete. My favourite is the monster on a pogo stick. First we put the image into photshop, then lowered the opacity of the image to make it more transparent, this enabled us to see the original image, without it affecting what we were drawing. We then used the brush tool to draw out designs in black. We then used the fill tool to add colour to our designs.

Here is a link to play Tetris online, this gave us the knowledge of how the game works, to enable us to set up the animation of our own Tetris game. We printed off and cut out our Tetris shapes as a class. We set up a sheet, with squares on, to look like the background of a Tetris game, our teacher then used a camera to take pictures to put together to make the animation of our shapes falling. To do this, we moved them by hand between each shot, as if they were falling in a Tetris game. My sock monster was used.

Recolor Resource

I know Simomo has a newer bigger palette, but I’m far too lazy for 178 colors. All credit for this palette goes to Simomo.

With that out of the way

I made some gradient maps for the original 90! Please do feel free to play around with these and change the colors or even make new ones. They’re a lot easier to customize and use than multi-step actions so don’t be afraid to mess around.

You can download them here. (This is not CC. This is a resource.)

How-to under the cut if you need. Very beginner friendly & applies to gradients in general.

You’ll need s4studio and photoshop. I use cs6.  I primarily use these for hair type items, but they can be used over anything. I’m working my way through the clothes atm actually.  I always use the #15 hair swatch. If that is not available (kids) I have included a gradient map you can run over Dirty Blonde #13 to get #15. It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough for a base. 

You can do this over a .dds, .png. jpeg w/e you prefer. I use .pngs.

Load up your file of choice and add an adjustment layer -> gradient map   

You should see a menu like this somewhere in your photshop. 

which will drop down in to this :

If you do not see the momo colors click the wheel up by Momo 83 in my picture and hit load (you can use replace to get a clean only momo menu like my pic) and select the Momo 90.grd file you hopefully downloaded.  You can also double click the .grd wherever you saved it.

Simply pick one and voila. Your texture is recolored. 

Something I had trouble with with actions was them not respecting selections and recoloring everything, the map will respect your selection though so you can leave out streaks or hair accessories easily. I selected a small portion to demonstrate :D  

I have not included an action because you don’t need one! However, I did make one for myself that loads the colors and saves out as 1.png - 90.png, but it won’t work on other’s pcs because the paths would be different. You definitely can and should do this yourself to save time.

that looks like this 

make the layer once, change the color & save. then just change & save until done!

Pro-tip: Save your recolors as .png and name them 1,2,3,4,5 so on. Once you’re done use bulk rename utility and add “Swatch_” as the prefix and “_Diffuse_1″ as the suffix. (in my experience so far “_diffuse_1″ will not need to change, but swatch does so that’s why we don’t add a number to it and instead name the .png as the number.)

 If you do this you can bulk import in to s4studio to save you some clicking. :) shift+control+c in s4studio and type “studio.importall” Studio will make a folder where your package is called “yourpackage resources” and you just drop your .pngs in there then type studio.importall again to actually import this time. Yay no more carpal tunnel clicking import 90 times!

You do need to apply the color palette to the package first but s4studio has that palette tool now so no tips/tricks needed.   Hope this helps!

also for shits n giggles I put one of the blues over a random skyrim screenshot and set the layer to soft light for a knockoff reshade effect. Experiment!

It's nice playing with models made for MMD sometimes. Doesn't mean I'll stop making Sims renders, though!

Models by Mumuta. Stage by Nikukyu. Poses by ozwalcito. Effects are dGreenerShader, PostRimLighting, HgSAO, o_BleachBypass, PostMovie, and o_ShadowFrame. Edited in Photshop.

Reeze whirlwind of gusto, from Yu-gi-oh.  I was never big on the whole Yu-gi-oh card thing, but I like some of the character designs.  I recall I was playing with gradient maps in photshop with this, I wish I knew about them sooner.

Another thing from August for /v/. 

[r6shippingdelivery]

As of today, I've been 3 years into the siege fandom 🎉🎉 

To celebrate, I opened requests on Twitter and I’m gonna post here a recopilation all the small HCs and photshop edits I did!!

Castle/Maverick

- their conversations tend to happen in more than just one language. - Mav loves Castle's dogs, especially when they both take them out on a walk or play with them. It feels peaceful and normal, something he hasn't felt in a long time. - He swears Castle gives the best hugs ever. - Castle enjoys the exotic dishes Mav cooks and the stories he tells, not for the stories themselves, but because his whole face lits up when  talking about the deserts he's seen and the people he met in Afghanistan. - Castle's family wants to meet Maverick soon

Montagne/Lion

Monty feels protective of Lion and defends him even when he knows he fucked up. He might confront him about it later, in private, but he never berates him in public. Lion knows part of the appeal Monty has is that he's sort of a father (or authority) figure, which at first  made him feel worse about his crush on his friend, but he had already fallen hard and the idea of distancing himself from Monty was unbearable, so he just prayed more and more.

Mozzie annoying others

He doesn't do it on purpose, he's just so full of energy that even sitting still for more than five minutes is a challenge for him. He is easily excited, prone to risking his neck on that bike just for the thrill of adrenaline, and can't shut up. Thatcher is wary of having him and Smoke in the same room, since last time they fashioned fire rings for Mozzie to jump through. He also has a tendency to dismiss they non-Australian insects & critters as harmless and play with spiders he finds and show them around.

Mute annoying Smoke

I have the feeling usually it's Smoke annoying Mute, but what does Mute do when he wants to pay back with the same coin? He subtly rearranges Smoke's belongings to throw him off/confuse him; or he'll tease him about his lack of tolerance for spicy food - maybe he cooks something spicy, a recipe from his mom! Or he teams up with Charlie and tells her funny (aka, embarrassing) stories about her dad's antics. Or the worst thing he can do: ignore/not answer Smoke when he talks to him. Fortunately for Smoke, Mute can't keep up that charade for long

Lion/Doc fluff

- PDAs from Doc leave Lion either blushing or smiling like a loon. In any case, he feels like he's floating on clouds and the luckiest man alive. - Lion likes to buy Doc stuff, things that reminded him of the doctor, or some chocolates he loves to apologize after an argument. - Lion radiates heat like a fire, and is more than a little clingy. As much as Doc likes cuddling with him, he sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night trapped by Lion and sweating, so he will push him aside. In winter Doc is the one clinging to Lion in his sleep tho!

Weird Tachanka habits

- He talks to himself out loud, and sometimes his teammates  get confused thinking he's on the phone or something when he's just muttering stuff on his own. - If he wakes up in the middle of the night, he never turns on any light to go to the bathroom or to fetch a drink. - After that time he got shot in the helmet and almost died, he was told by the doctor to make sure he could still see with both eyes if his vision got blurry. To this day, he still might randomly close one eye to make sure he can see with the other.

Ace/Rook

- Rook followed Ace on Insta waaay before Ace joined Rainbow. First time they met Rook may have acted a bit like a starstruck fan. - Ace loved the attention ofc, especially since Rook seemed so earnest and without ulterior motives. Indulging him was... easy and pleasant. - Ace knew he was playing with Rook, both in bed and with his feelings. At first it was just exhilarating to have that much influence over someone, but then he started to develop feelings for Rook too and it all became more complicated for Ace.

And 2 edits: Rook eating Mozzarella sticks and Lion with a flower crown!

finally found the secret for photshop to run smoother on a really cheap laptop. Razer Game Booster. idk exactly what it does but it says something about releasing RAM??? its meant to boost your computer when playing games (yes even the sims) but it works for literally any program !!

what do you think of the graceling covers? there’s the ones with different objects each cover and the ones with pictures of the characters on mountains/with background. My bestie says it’s the latter covers that are better but i deffo prefer he different objects

I’m not sure I can help settle this disagreement because they both kind of suck lmao.

So let’s start from the top. The title on the new Graceling cover is better, no question. The old typeface and 3D effect just did not age well. The new one is much more elegant and plays with color instead of depth. And they also just took that glow way too far on the old cover. However, it’s only the type treatment that wins for Fire and Bitterblue. On the new covers, that swoopy font looks cheesy and cheap.

Old: 1, New: 2

Thematically, the old cover wins. The wallpaper textures and the objects and colors work together symbolically much better than the new ones. There’s a stronger color association for each cover, which I appreciate.

Old: 2, New: 2

The photshop job on the new ones is better...marginally. Fire in particular is BAD in both versions. But where the fuck is the lightsource in the new ones? Why are the first two backlit but the third on sidelit?

Old: 2, New: 2.5

Creatively, the old ones have it. The new ones are VERY bland, just your typical “girl posing wih a weapon but you can’t see her face because that’s not allowed.” The old ones have way more personality despite only showing tiny slivers of their faces.

Old: 3, New: 2.5

So basically, the old ones just have more personality, but they’re not quite as technically competent as the new ones. I feel like if they were updated instead of redesign, the remastered Oldies would win with no trouble.
