nice drive up to the campsite with a bookstore stop!
frolicked in the creek while the watermelon cooled in the water and then we ate it on a flat rock in the middle of the creek!
grilled corn and marinated paneer and korean pancakes with the help of a butane blowtorch! opened a pomegranate with my bare hands!
four cheeses!! (brie, gouda, feta, and aforementioned paneer)
got tucked in with my best friend lullabying us all on the ukulele
tried to stargaze through the mesh on the tent roof
thunderbolt and lightning VERY VERY FRIGHTENING
ten minutes scrambling in the dark to get the rainfly on
piling back into the rental car (a little sedan) with all our backpacks and two sleeping bags
listened to the thunder and rain and. oh yes. hail :))))))
slept fitfully. sleeping bag wedged under for lower back support. backseats DID NOT RECLINE.
woke up at the crack of dawn. ran back and forth between the water pump and campsite to rinse off as much dirt as possible. wrestled tent and rainfly into bag. shoes drenched. muddy.
ate stale baguette and cheese off the hood of the car. nice crunchy carrots and spicy hummus!!
lovely drive back! saw lots of cattle and horses and goats and a chicken crossing the road much carpool karaoke.
best friend stayed to help me hose down the tent and it was nice getting splashed because it was so damn hot in the city
end the worst best camping experience of my life

And that’s a wrap! Didn’t get as many attacks done this year as I’d liked to but I’m happy with how they turned out! Tried to be more ambitious than just portraits this year
Here’s a commemorative gif to mark the end of this year’s art fight, see below for my process in making it!
Tumblr media
For stuff like this I like to first fully paint a still version of the gif, and then make adjustments after the fact to make things move.
This is because there aren’t really any major movements that need planning ahead, in a more action focused animation I’d have to prepare proper key frames and all that.
Rough sketch - planning out the rough composition, shapes and colours so I don’t forget later.
Tumblr media
Lineart and flat colours - I try to keep layers to a minimum so I don’t get confused, but I still separate foreground and background, as well as moving elements which helps with the animating step later on.
This also lets me use clipping masks to colour way faster
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rendering! I just use a big paintbrush and occasionally an airbrush for this bit, again clipping masks help a lot here
Tumblr media
After that I make final adjustments, this usually involves layers set to multiply for shadow and screen/colour dodge for highlights. I also colour in my lines here.
I try to keep values in mind and correct those too at this point if they’re too samey. If all else fails, rim lighting is great for defining forms just a little bit more
Tumblr media
Now time to make stuff move! Having the main elements already isolated on different layers makes this less of a pain
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I then open a four-frame empty animation and keep it at 4fps, so I can gradually readd these elements to each frame. If I squash the minivan layer on the second and fourth frames I can add a bobbing motion
Tumblr media
I then readd Garlbo and Rainfly and try to match this motion, but it doesn’t have to be an exact match as I can just paint over any gaps. For consistency at this point I keep frames 1 and 3 and frames 2 and 4 the same. I do the same for the wheels, painting over them in frames 2 and 4 to give the illusion of spinning.
Tumblr media
After this, I animate Rainfly moving the steering wheel. This motion spans all four frames rather than flicking between two. I use the lasso tool to cut out the hands and wheel as close as I can, and then paint over any gaps left over after I had rotated the wheel slightly.
Tumblr media
Once all that was done, I added some extra motion to the background layer! This didn’t take too long, again just cutting out part of the image and filling gaps left over. I also made some of the background stars twinkle by covering some of them for a single frame on each frame.
Now it’s time for the text! I handwrite this in and then add a white outline. This is done by duplicating the text layer, gaussian blurring the bottom layer at 2-3%, auto-selecting the outside of the text, inverting the selection and then just painting all the selected area.
Tumblr media
And that’s it! Hope someone finds this useful!

i’d love to see what happens the morning after!! maybe they get out of the tent together and their friends are awake and joke about it?? or if their friends don’t notice anything and they’re all touchy on the way back of the hike without anybody seeing!! idk but i’d love to see anything you do for it 💕
Yes! Okay!! I like this :) We can look into kind of what their friends might think about their sudden interactions 👀
Thank you hon!!!

I looked to find beauty in the rainfly wings that circled my room once I'd turned the fan on to cool myself of all the feelings I'd been bearing for months. The idea felt peaceful as they fluttered lightly through the air, a soft touch when they landed just about anywhere. But I couldn't help but wonder if they felt no pain when the wings fell off as they kept trudging on over unfamiliar terrain. They didn't look back, did not stop. Maybe this is what peace actually was.

SJM Crackshipmonth: Fluff
Tumblr media
Between Tents and Mosquitoes
Day nineteen of @sjmcrackshipmonth and today's ship is Feyre x Jurian.
Words: 830
TW: none
Feyre and Jurian go on a little camping trip
With a muttered curse, Feyre threw away the damn poles of the tent and flopped on the hard ground, cursing again. She watched videos about tents at home, before they left and even printed instructions for herself but she still managed to do something wrong. She groaned up at the afternoon sky, praying that her boyfriend wouldn't come back soon to see her like this.
Of course her prayer was ignored as she heard the heavy footsteps of Jurian and soon, he stood beside her, looking down at her. He knew this exact expression like she knew the backside of her hand. That asshole suppressed a laugh, amusement written on his face. "The whole forest could hear you cursing." he chuckled, shaking his head. "You scared the animals. Are you now finally accepting my help?"
Feyre narrowed her eyes and jumped up and pushed him to the side. "No." she said, gathering the poles that she had thrown away. She only needed to calm down and try again. Reading through her instructions again, she was fairly confident that the fourth try would be the lucky one. Now she would have no problems at all.
"You're so stubborn." Jurian said behind her, with no trace of judgment. "You know you don't have to be independent all the time."
As Feyre clicked the poles together, she held back the urge to roll her eyes. "I know how this is going to end. This is supposed to be a relaxing weekend, I will not talk about my mother. Or father. Or my sisters."
Jurian sighed, his shoes clicking on the ground as he, no doubt, bounced his knee up and down. Feyre knew this was a tic of his that he did when he was nervous or frustrated. Knowing that it couldn't be the former, Feyre almost snapped at him for being frustrated with her but…honestly, she got it. Feyre knew that she was carrying baggage from her childhood and she easily got irritated when someone tried to talk with her about it. Of all people, Jurian was the only person, besides Mor, that Feyre had the least problems with talking openly about it. But that didn't mean she didn't have any problems at all. Depending on the day, Feyre had a hard time opening up but she knew Jurian felt the same about his own childhood, that's why he was so understanding with her.
"You don't look relaxed at all." Jurian pointed out. Hissing at a very stubborn pole, Feyre turned around and slumped her shoulders.
"Better?"
"Not at all." Jurian replied, grinning. "Just let me help. I know you can do it but it will be quicker."
She looked down at the tent, then at Jurian, "Fine." she said. "Help."
Jurian smiled, wiping his hands on his pants and walked over to Feyre. "Take this." he told her, pressing the end of the pole in Feyre's hands and started weaving it through the sleeve of the tent. He did the same on the side and with the other, shorter, poles. "You need to slowly raise this pole," he told her, pointing to the middle one. Feyre nodded and did as he instructed. As she held, Jurian walked around the tent and fastened the tent to the ground, they repeated that a few times until the tent stood all on its own.
"You're good at this." Feyre said.
Jurian winked at her, "I already did this once or twice."
"Of course," she rolled her eyes. "You could have started with that little piece of information."
He laughed, gathering the rainfly and draped it atop the tent. "I thought the picture of me and my father told you enough."
Feyre huffed, securing the rainfly on the back of the tent, Jurian doing the same on the front. "I know you were already camping but I didn't know you set up a tent on your own."
"I didn't," he replied. "But I helped my father." Together, they staked the remaining edges of the tent and secured the ropes. "Look, we did amazing!"
"We did." Feyre agreed, linking her arm with Jurian’s. "But I could have done it alone."
"I don't doubt it but I'd rather we finish this before nightfall," he said. Feyre slapped his arm, barely containing her smile. "Because I wanna show you something."
"What?" Feyre asked.
"You'll see."
They both put their backpacks in the tent and closed it. Jurian took Feyre's hand as they followed an overgrown dort path until they reached a cliff. Feyre gasped at the view, squeezing his hand, "I never saw something so beautiful!" she exclaimed as the sky got an orange tint as the sun started to set.
"Me neither." Jurian said. Feyre smiled up at him, realizing that Jurian already looked at her. She kissed him. Once, twice, then tugged on his hand. Together they sat there, watching the sunset as Feyre leaned her head on his shoulder.
She could get used to this

Expert Tips for Staying Warm and Comfortable While Camping in Cold Weather
Camping in cold weather can be a magical experience, but it also comes with the challenge of staying warm and comfortable in low temperatures. With the right preparation and techniques, you can enjoy your outdoor adventure without shivering through the night. In this blog, we will share expert tips to help you stay warm, cozy, and comfortable while camping in cold weather.
Choose the Right Sleeping Gear: Investing in high-quality sleeping gear is essential for a warm and comfortable night's sleep:
a. Sleeping Bag: Opt for a cold-weather sleeping bag with a temperature rating lower than the expected nighttime temperatures. Look for insulation material such as down or synthetic fibers, and ensure the bag is the right size for your body to minimize empty space that can lead to heat loss.
b. Sleeping Pad: Use an insulated sleeping pad to provide an extra layer of insulation between you and the cold ground. Foam or air-filled pads with higher R-values offer better insulation.
c. Liner and Blankets: Consider using a sleeping bag liner or adding extra blankets or quilts for additional warmth. These can be easily layered or adjusted based on temperature fluctuations.
Layer Your Clothing: Proper layering is crucial to regulate body temperature and trap warmth:
a. Base Layer: Start with a moisture-wicking base layer made of synthetic or wool material. This layer will help keep your body dry by wicking away sweat.
b. Insulating Layer: Add a middle layer of insulating material, such as fleece or down, to trap body heat. This layer should be thicker and provide insulation even when wet.
c. Outer Shell: Wear a waterproof and wind-resistant outer shell to protect against the elements. Look for jackets and pants with breathable fabrics that allow moisture to escape.
d. Head, Hands, and Feet: Don't forget to wear a warm hat, gloves, and thick socks to prevent heat loss from extremities. Consider using hand and foot warmers for extra warmth.
Create a Cozy Campsite: Transform your campsite into a warm and comfortable haven:
a. Tent Selection: Choose a four-season tent designed to withstand cold temperatures and strong winds. Ensure it has a rainfly for added protection against moisture.
b. Insulate the Tent: Place a thick groundsheet or tarp underneath your tent to provide insulation from the cold ground. Use a tent footprint to protect the tent floor.
c. Seal Tent Openings: Before sleeping, close all tent openings tightly to prevent drafts. Use a door sweep or draft stopper to seal the bottom of the tent door.
d. Heat Source: Safely use a tent heater, hot water bottle, or heated blanket to add warmth inside the tent. Ensure proper ventilation and follow manufacturer instructions.
Fuel Your Body: Stay warm from the inside out by consuming warm and high-calorie foods:
a. Hot Drinks: Enjoy warm beverages such as tea, coffee, or hot cocoa to keep your body warm and hydrated. Use an insulated thermos to keep drinks hot for longer periods.
b. High-Calorie Foods: Consume calorie-dense meals and snacks that provide sustained energy and warmth. Consider foods like oatmeal, soups, stews, nuts, and energy bars.
c. Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration can affect your body's ability to regulate temperature. Use an insulated water bottle to prevent freezing.
Stay Active and Move: Engage in physical activities to generate body heat and improve circulation:
a. Exercise: Perform light exercises or stretching inside the tent to generate body heat before getting into your sleeping bag.
b. Warm-up Period: Take a short walk or perform simple exercises outside the tent before entering
to warm up your body and get your blood flowing.
c. Layer Adjustments: As you become active or engage in physical activities, adjust your clothing layers to prevent overheating and excessive sweating.
Proper Ventilation: Maintaining proper ventilation inside your tent is crucial to prevent condensation and moisture buildup:
a. Crack the Tent Door: Leave a small opening or crack in the tent door or window to allow for airflow. This helps reduce condensation and keeps the air fresh.
b. Use Tent Vents: Utilize any built-in vents or openings in your tent to promote airflow and minimize condensation.
c. Dry Wet Gear: Hang damp clothes or gear outside the tent or in a designated vestibule area to prevent moisture buildup inside.
Stay Dry: Keeping dry is essential for staying warm in cold weather conditions:
a. Waterproof Gear: Ensure all your outerwear, including jackets, pants, and boots, are waterproof or water-resistant. Apply a waterproof treatment to prolong their effectiveness.
b. Pack Rain Gear: Carry a lightweight rain jacket and rain pants to protect yourself from unexpected rain or snow showers.
c. Change of Clothes: Pack extra sets of dry clothes in case your clothing gets wet. Changing into dry clothes before sleeping is essential for warmth and comfort.

The train back to twelve - chapter 5
Week 3 - Delly
(This chapter is so short, you get the full version here on Tumblr, but be a doll and leave me a comment on Ao3 anyway.)
It rains for three days. We stay inside our tents for the most part of our time and I do my best to keep Saul entertained. He’s been collecting oak galls along with Danny and Linea as they want to turn them into a Bingo Game, so we use our free time to write the numbers on each ball and make several cards from the boxes that carry our rations.
“I’m bored Delly.”
“You should be thankful that you’re bored. It means you’re alive to do it. And look on the bright side, we won’t have to carry water for several days, the drums are full of rain water for sure.” I answer back, putting away our Bingo Game and lying on my back beside him.
“I hate carrying water.”
“I know.” I say with a giggle.
We both laugh and he ends up placing his head on my shoulder and snuggling up like he used to do those first days in thirteen. He grew up so much this past year I can hardly recognize him. But right now, out of everyone else’s sight he’s my baby brother again, and he allows me to play with his locks one more time as I take the tiny oak galls and throw them in his lap.
“Balls.”
He knows what I’m doing. We used to play this when we worked the counter in my dad’s shop. One of us would choose a letter and we had to spot things that started with it.
“Boots.” He answers back, nudging my boots at the end of the tent with his bare foot.
“Boy.”
“Beard.”
“Where are you seeing a beard?” I ask him with a laugh
“What, I’m starting to have a beard!”
“No, you’re not!”
“Yes, I am, look!” He tilts his chin towards me and I swat at him playfully. He’s grown a lot this past year, but not that much.
“You think the other guys shave? I’ve never seen them shave.”
I have no idea. Some of them have grown beards. Mr Norbert used to be clean shaved before the war, but now he sports a full beard. Others, like Thom however, still have shaved faces, so I guess they probably have tools for it.
“You think Thom will teach me how to shave?”
“If you ask him, I’m sure he will.”
We can hear the men going around the tents, probably making sure that they are sturdy and well pitched to hold under the rain. The council set up a rotating shift schedule with a few select men, to perform essential daily tasks, and take care of the tents, but all non urgent work is on standby. On the second day they went around each tent, digging a ditch all the way around them to collect the water that runs from the flysheets.
Saul wanted to join them and help, but we stay put. Mr Norbert stressed that no one should leave their tents unless for bathroom breaks or if you were scheduled to work. We can’t afford the luxury of getting anyone sick. Thom comes to check on us everyday, and he brings our meals, but he never gets inside, because he is dripping wet every single time. The few minutes we have crouched by the tent’s opening are still a highlight every day. Both for me and Saul.
“Delly, Saul, are you guys ok?”
“Thom!”
Saul is faster than me to get up and open the tent. He is crouching beneath the rainfly and once more completely drenched. I wonder if he still has any dry clothes in his tent. Surely not. I fail to suppress a giggle when I notice a scruff beard appearing.
“What’s the matter?” He asks me intrigued as he hands a bag with rations and a thermos to Saul.
“Nothing. I mean, not nothing. Your beard. Sorry, we were discussing beards, and you show up all manly and wet and fuzzy faced and I just… is that tea?” I ask as gleefully as I muster picking up the thermos from Saul.
“And was I not allowed to? Have a beard?”
“We were wondering if you could teach me how to shave.” Saul adds between mouthfuls
“Ah, because you are fuzzy faced?” He’s asking Saul but he keeps his eyes on me, and I feel myself heating up. “I can’t stay long, the supplies shelter is falling apart and we’re trying to secure it. But we’ll handle the shaving business once the rain gives us a break, deal?” He holds his palm to Saul and he high fives him enthusiastically.
“Do you still have dry clothes? Keeping yourself warm and dry at night? You can’t get sick, Thom.” I tell him, grabbing his arm to make him stay a little longer. I know they’ve been trying to keep most people out of the rain, but that means more work for those on duty. I’ve known him for three weeks and there is one thing I’m sure about him. He puts everyone else first and ends up neglecting himself.
“Yeah, mostly yes. I’m out of dry socks, not that it would make a difference, as my boots are wet inside and out.”
I reach for my backpack and take an extra pair of mine and our rations plastic bags. “They’ll be too small, but it’s better than having your feet wet all the time. Put the plastic bags on top of the socks before you put on the boots, that’ll keep them dry.”
“Thank you.” He nods back, his eyes gentle and warm, even with that gruffy beard. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Make sure you get enough rest.”
“I will.”
I watch him leave in the rain, before closing the tent again. When I pick my food Saul is already done with his.
“You know, for the record, if you want to date him you have my permission.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I tell him, but who am I kidding? There’s no denying anymore how attracted I am to him. Even Greasy Sae has commented on it. I figure Thom is the only one who still hasn't caught up on it himself.
“Bullshit.”
I give him a stink look. His vocabulary grew larger while staying in thirteen but I still don’t like it.
“Boyfriend.” I pick a soft jacket I use as a pillow and hit him in the face with it, but he doesn’t stop. “Buff miner. Beau. Bedazzled girl. Oomph.”
I hit him again so hard he falls on top of his sleeping bag. That ought to shut him up. I need some quiet time to reminisce about Thom’s beard, anyway.
