Progress post 5/?

Haven't done this in ages but it's tiiiime.

Because I now have a GPU capable of raytracing and I've gotten more familiar with ReShade. So,Vinnie had to go the hairdressers again and put on this ol' outfit.

From left to right

1. No mods, no lights

2. Texture mod, 1 additional light

3. 2 additional lights, custom pose + expression,texture mod (GeForce 970GTX)

4. 1 additional light, custom pose + expression, Raytracing + ReShade (AMD Radeon RX 6500) -> and the boi has some mods

For those who look extra close, yes, he has different tattoos in the current picture bc I'm seriously considering switching him to the Valentinos tattoos to reflect his history. But I'm not decided yet.

I think the difference between the 3rd and 4th one is actually not super visible in this format. Sure, on a big screen, you see the way better resolution and texture. But a lot depends on lighting. If I had toned down that one light in the third one, they would look even more similar, I think.

All of this to say, the PC is only half the magic max. People have asked me what GPU I used since the beginning, and yes, it was "only" a GeForce 970 -> the bare minimum for getting CP77 to run. I didn't use ReShade for the longest time, and even when I do, I use it mainly for light sharpening.

So this is kind of documenting my process that I also did in my real life photography -> getting to know the basic tools first, before introducing new tools, before upgrading gear.

The full picture:

And just to show off, good God, yes Raytracing makes a FUCKTON of difference, depending on setting. They all gotta stand in them puddles now, wet feeeeeet.

*takes you by the face* listen to me. listen. callum is going to be the one to free aaravos. if it was going to be claudia it could've just happened at the end of s5 and the gang didn't need to have the prison. he's the only other main character with seasons of buildup. listen. idk whether it's going to be under possession or another form of coercion but he's going to do it. it's going to be a 'choice'. either knowing what he's risking in what leads to him doing it under possession or doing it bc he can't bear to lose rayla. "i would do anything for you" and all of 5x08 and "seems love's got a tighter grip on you than those chains round your wrists so i'll do you a favour and set you free" is just set up. rayla coming back with the cube on her shoulder that's also in callum's pawn intro is On Purpose. she's his light and he's going to lose the game anyway. he has to. listen to me-- *is being escorted out by security* he has the key - HE HAS THE KEY!

i should be able to message all my phannie friends at once in one big group chat. but alas i talk to y'all through the varied avenues of a) tumblr DMs, b) discord, and c) actual text messaging so i cannot. not to mention the various time zones y'all are in.

Yeah, I know I'm kinda double posting but after posting them separately I wondered what these would look like next to each other. They are both still completely vanilla (except for textures) and I can't imagine modding them heavily tbh.

Your art style is so satisfying! What do you take inspiration from?

ಇ( ˵ᐛ ˵)ಇ💜‼️ yippee thank you for this super fun ask!! hehe i love rambling about things i love and my art style is nothing but a frankenstein’s monster amalgamation of traits i shoplifted from things i love 😸😸😸

1. PANTY AND STOCKING!!! probably theeee biggest influence for my art style!! i religiously copied the complete disregard for realism, the white-pupil eyes, and sharp sharp everything! started in sixth grade and now we here 🩷💿🫧┗(^o^　)┓三

(panty is my favorite of the anarchy sisters heehee weak for blonde girls)

💕🧸🩷.

2. MANGA PANELS!!! i love that black n white + screentone dots look! it’s also an easy cop-out when i don’t wanna color (always) LOLLL also helps that i’ve been gazing adoringly at nothing but manga screenshots of light yagami for days now… he’s got that enchanting southern belle/femme fatale/pampered princess allure… (sorry this has nothing to do with ur question) (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧🧨🍎🍒

🧨♥️💥.

3. RETRO STUFF!!! like comics and 2000s cartoons :D for cartoons especially: monster high, powerpuff girls, winx club, totally spies… all thick lines, sharp angles, and POPPING COLORS!! i think this is also where i get my excessive love for shapes from (although i can’t draw a straight line to save my life) (ɷ ꒪ཀ꒪)ɷ🧡🎃✨

🎃🧡🍊.

4. PERSONA 5 UI!!! ik i’ve used this gif before in another ask but JUST LOOK AT IT!! GLORIOUSLY EYE-SEARING NEON GREEN!!! 💚 i love love love p5’s art style, particularly vanilla p5 (royal flaunts more shiny gold accents which also scratch that itch in my brain 😸) because lovely mismatched, cut-out typography! black n white characters contrasting strikingly against retina-piercing monochrome palettes!! all flair AND function!!! this game has it all!!!! (๑˃̶͈̀∇˂̶͈́)و⁾⁾˚*💚🍭💕

💚🎀🍡.

5. VEWN!!! their animations instill within me the special kind of depression only a preteen girl can feel… their style is wonderfully imperfect! sketchy lines and skewed perspectives—makes me happy to draw whatever i want without worrying about realism 😸 my favorite of theirs is “twins in paradise” and “floatland”! they evoke the same uncanniness as liminal spaces methinks 🩵🎐🪽

🫧🩵🎐.

yea… that’s it for now! i’d gush for days but there’s a stinkin 10-image limit on posts -_- but whatever u can always check out my constantly growing collection of treasures that tickle my brain on pinterest (i’ve linked it in my pinned)! gives u a pretty good idea of where i draw inspo from :3c 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Oh no why is animating fun

[queer-ragnelle]

all this talk of plagiarism has me remembering when i thought using photography references for drawing was somehow stealing. if you’re worried about stealing then you aren’t stealing.
