SHADED FONTS
Shaded fonts go by a number of other monikers, including “shadowed,” “inline,” and “outline.” These are fonts where the interior of the letter is the same color as the background and the letter is formed in outline with a thin line on one side and thicker line on the other, creating a shadowed effect that suggests three-dimensionality. The fonts displayed here from Alphabets: A Manual of Letter Design, with Complete Alphabets of Varied Styles of Lettering by the American type designer and printing historian Douglas C. McMurtrie, published in Pelham, New York by Bridgman Publishers in 1926. The fonts are:
Narcissus, designed in 1921 by Walter Tiemann for the Klingspor Foundry, and based on a set of ornamental inline capitals first cut by Simon Pierre Fournier about 1745.
Mercure (we don’t have design or production information on this font).
Vanity Fair, designed by McMurtrie himself in 1923 and cast by Continental Type Founders for Condé Nast Press.
Greco Adornado, released by Richard Gans Foundry in 1924.
McMurtrie Title, also designed by McMurtrie for Condé Nast Press, and based on a specimen designed by Belgian type founder Jacques-François Rosart from 1768.
Douglas C. McMurtrie (1888-1944) held a number of important posts in his short lifetime, including printing manager for the Columbia University Printing Office, the Arbor Press, and Condé Nast Press; editor of the prestigious Ars Typographica magazine; typographic director of the Cuneo Press; director of advertising and typography at Ludlow Typograph Company; and head of the WPA’s American Imprints Inventory.

#boughmoon#boughlore#clangen#clan generator#warrior cats#warriors#warrior cats art#clangen comic#art#i gave hollystar a little star because i like the star designs#oh and i did change the font! on the last page#i got a huge pack of fonts for $19 on itch........ huge for me#sorry i love to ramble in the tags#it wont stop but i do apologize#maybe one of these days i will show you all my awful thmbnails#i. hmm. struggled to make snowkit look as scraggly as i wanted#might need to do some actual studies of nestlings to figure out how to translate the encased feathers into my art style without having#to like add a ton of texture & shading & such or have it take 3 million years per page. im sure de-furring the kittens a little bit would#help make them look scragglier but thats not how it is for like. actual kittens. Hrrmmmm.#things to figure out after moon 0 i suppose.

Started this back in February when it was more topical but... I suppose no time is a good time for romance as far as Theo is concerned.
#doing a meme like the old deviantart days#good for the soul#theo#my draws#amaranthine#technically#i could ramble on about some of the choices here but perhaps it'd be best to let it speak for itself#also i think that's supposed to say “physical touch” but i couldn't find a font that matches to correct it#so my neurotic self had to leave the author's typo for the sake of aesthetic coherency#ok one piece of commentary: brain problems + highly repressed upbringing = where i put theo on the kinky slider. it had to be there#you should think less '50 shades' and more '50 year old guys waxing poetic about quicksand scenes in old adventure films' for that one#he's not a quicksand guy. but that's the vibe.

That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish," what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back.
i'm back with the sillies!! they're smitten, i believe :)
i still have a bunch of scenes i want to draw so stay tuned for more princess omens!! (this one forced its way in front of 2 other WIPs oops)
#CUTIES#tbh i feel like i was a little lazy with the shading and stuff#but also the lighting in this scene is very ambiguous so#whatever all my focus went into drawing azi's tartan dress 5 separate times#of course there's an easier way to do it!!#but i actually found it fun to do it by hand#anyway practical tag time#sara does art#princess omens#good omens#good omens fanart#aziraphale#crowley#aziracrow#the princess bride#as you wish#SMITTEN I BELIEVE#the as you wish gets a pretty font#to show it is said with a certain flourish#hehehe#i think that's it#wahoo

— I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOUR GENEROUS OFFER. I'LL DO IT.
#thewitcheredit#witcheredit#the witcher#jaskieredit#jaskier#userbecca#userava#uservia#ughmerlin#tusermich#netflixedit#edits#the witcher spoilers#[usual whining about me being unsatisfied with the fonts]#anyways. this scene destroyed me honestly#joey really is the king of putting such care into every single small detail#to give back the perfect shade of emotion needed to empathize completely with the character#you know redania is playing him somehow but you can't fault him this single decision#wanting to keep ciri and geralt and yen SAFE#from what he'd been through#the way his lips curls in both fear AND rage as he says 'get rid of him' truly embody all of this#loved the detail of him fiddling with his wounded finger#kissing him on the forehead as we speak

Every time an editor has a hard to read theme without any form of accessibility an angel looses its wings
#✿ ͙ talking ׅ#first nongraphic post#but honestly even for someone with good eyesight some of yalls themes are NOT IT#and EVEN if you want to have an unacessible theme atleast have a side blog that basically reposts your stuff but with no fonts and colored#text and stuff#not naming any names#i dont want to make anyone feel very guilty but please rethink about if your theme is readable or not.#contrast#everyone deserves your content as much as the next person#i honestly dont know how yall make stunning rentry graphics but do this#stares at some blogs who have the background as a color and the text as a shade of that same color that is like#10% darker#again.. not naming any names.

My boss gifted us all with personalized Stanley's and I can feel the changes being wrought upon me on a molecular level. I want it to have a cute little charm. I want to make fancy waters to put in it. I'm becoming a monster.
#it makes me. so mad. that i am not immune to being a basic bitch.#but it's such a pretty shade of blue and it's not the second largest water bottle i own. I can't deny the practicality.#it also has my name in pretty font engraved on the side.#that wasn't even the only thing we got.#wild how last year i was underpaid and sick all the time and didn't get a bonus with no explanation#and now this year i work somewhere that can just book a whole floor of an upscale restaurant for the party.#the food was really good.#*now the second largest water bottle jfc

no one would notice if i ever vanished // if bodies could sustain // this never-ending army // like blood pumping through a vein
(click for better resolution!)
:OOO hello. anyway since these are all posters i'd have in an ideal world or smth and i'd like to store the high res versions somewhere,,, here's the google drive folder for them? hehe ''
close up!
#adamandi#vincent aurelius lin#i'm back with the posters! or smth! idk!!#i'm maybe just a bit obsessed with vincent. such a Character.#where can i run is sustaining me single-handedly through this exam season (<- has cried thrice in the last two days; alas; but moving on)#my stress response was that in a fit of apathy i shut myself down from academia and stopped to paint this#six hours total? on this funky little thing! had to push myself to finish the magnifying glass but!! looks so cool. i'm impressed with my e#fun fact: all the shades are hand-coloured. aka everything is digitally hand painted hooray!! i havent painted for a long time (ish)#smth about this musical makes me want to paint. it's very lovely that way#it's also a miracle i haven't gotten carpal tunnel or any wrist injuries so far... i'm a lucky person! hooray#i had so many thoughts to ramble about and now i don't recall any of them.#-! about this piece: inspired specifically by that one line that i doodled in the margins of a math practice last night#the diagonal slant was very. thinky. the rendering and angle were kinda contradictory to do but it's fineeee (draft was diff. pov)#i liked the red abstraction. and the way that people (misc) gave same vibes as red blood cells.#green for vincent because contrasting colour!! considered a spotlight that was more obv bc. again theatre lighting is so cool. but that was#a bit too literal? i think. so just fun little highlights. no one look at the accuracy of anything here though.. shadows do Not do this#also like hehehe lin. forest. forest of people. i really liked thinking about that. hehehe#i didn't know the font to use!! or quote!! so i slapped on the name of the musical and called it a day... the blank one is in the google-#-folder if you want to add your own stuff :') also also i wasn't sure about cropping at all. so again high res in google drive link#which is under the keep-reading sign! kind of a choose your own adventure because i'm lazy :3#ajhshdhfhfhfhf i think i've been fuelled by the tags under each post so far. so intensely. so very nice.#also when the cast or creators drop fun facts... serotonin right there.. they're all so nice waaagh it's so cool that they like my stuff ><#<laughs> really grateful that the whole fandom's so sweet <3 thank you for your support TvT#alright!! off to mess about with chemistry. jiayou me.#oh yes. a post script about the cropping crisis: i wasn't sure how small i wanted to make him. in proportion to the crowd. so if you see it#on mobile ig it's tiny and on laptop it kind of makes sense ...

i bet that even as humans they still refer to themselves as skeletons
#repostober#day 14 i think. i lost count in the catching up lol#undertale#sans#papyrus#gaster#dadster#blacktober#technically i drew this for blacktober but never posted it.. it just sat in my wips folder unsaved as an actual image until a few days ago#i meant to fully shade it and make a nice sky background and give sans lens blur but. alas. (ill probably finish it one day sfgkjf)#anayway i LOVE my designs for the human font family SM#sans has dwarfism and lets his hair naturally grow out and does nothing to take care of it (it is as soft as silk regardless)#papyrus is JACKED and has so many piercings and tattoos cus YOU KNOW HE WOULD IF HE HAD SKIN!!!! he always ALWAYS has a fresh cut and he-#gives me gender envy ANYWAYs-#gaster has monochromacy (monochromatic color blindness) and two sets of dentures#both his legs were amputated so he uses a wheelchair and he has scars that resemble burn scars and no nose#as well as two facial scars that connect to his eyes and mouth- his skull is also fractured under them#hes always wearing his favorite pair of glasses (that his sons bought him)#he loves tea and knitting so much................ he is a grandma#(visually hes lowkey based on my grandpa hgdfjd)#they are all such doofuses and they love each other so much..... papyrus can carry both of them at the same time and often does#when sans randomly falls asleep in public or when gaster has spent the last 17 hours in the librarby
