I've mentioned many times that I wasn't satisfied with the ingame rain during photomode session as the raindrops entirely vanished as soon as I used my usual lens blur (can't stand having no blur, neither a focus on something in a picture).
I've tried adding rain already in another set last year via photoshop but even this one didn't satisfy me in the end.
Inspired by the great @dreamskug, I browsed a lot the past few weeks, or is it already months? – Dunno anymore – and found some brushes and texures, tried out this and that, did trial and error and eventually added a more realisitc rain feel and light effect to my vp how I imagine my pics with Ryder to be when it rains.
It was way too much time I've spent on one picture alone (the rest is a more copy paste but placed differently including changing layer masks or redo the brushes anew) but it's the only way to get it to look like actuall falling rain. So yeah I guess I'll have to sit down and take a bit longer for certain vp stuff in the future bc Ryder's world has mostly rainy days.
next approach: actually make him stand in the rain, as I drove to a place where there was a roof above him so neither him nor the car is wet. I've noticed in the rain only Ry's arms are going to get that wet layer tho but not his chest and I think also not his head. I have to look into that as well when I find time.

#this trio is kinda funny the more i look at it. originally wanted to draw maa cause he's an actual career soldier#but he seems to unironically believe in honour and loyalty so anti was the next best bet#i wanted this to be a warm-up but then the moment i decided to use a ruins background#i had to copy the original game style so the foreground would match :'(#oh well. it was good lineart practice#darkest dungeon#beepbeep.txt

Ugh, I'm always so annoyed when I write something start-to-finish and leave it alone for a while like usual just to dislike what I wrote later. I happily go on my way to do a simple edit and surprise! What do you know... there's things that need editing.
I need to completely redo all the dialogue. I really pride myself on the flow of my dialogue, so that's a giant mess I've made for myself and I still have a Blades chapter that I'm so close to closing out. Hopefully by next week I'll have both in a place that makes me happy.
Sigh.
#random rambling about writing#I know that others prefer to just write and post and I'm not throwing any shade on those folks at all#but so much of my best writing comes in the editing phase#tinkering and tightening up the problem areas and working on specific turns of phrase etc.#p.s. the Awwgust prompts warmed me up w/ character voices again and that's made it easier to jump back into these fics post-break#so don't think it's overdoing things: those are just fun fluffy ideas to get the fingers moving and the brain working#staying with the habit and maintaining a practice of daily writing is good rigor for people that want to be writers!

I would love, even if its just its just brief summaries, to know the different thoughts going through bills head throughout the last smut. (mainly when he got the text and when dipper starts just blurting out thoughts and ideas bc i think those moments would be fun to see)
Imagine you're having the shittiest day at work. You're gritting your teeth and hanging onto it by your fingernails, knowing that eventually dealing with this absolutely idiotic, waffling, overstuffed, condescending dipshit of a client will be done with, you'll charge him out the nose for your services - which will probably be, like a hundred dollars, the way this is going! What bullshit. At least afterwards, you can collapse onto the bed and complain to your spouse about it. Which you have been doing, actually, waiting for a decent excuse to bail or check out early.
Then you get a text. And it's your partner saying they got you a brand new console, your favorite pizza - Oh! And a million bucks in untraceable cash - but you might have to kick your shitty client in the nuts so hard his eyes pop out. Does that sound... okay? No pressure or anything.
The reason Bill was a minute later than expected is because even he needed a moment. It was the sheer whiplash from going from Shit to Fucking Amazing.
#answers#Bill went from full on eeueuughhh about his day to practically having hearts floating around him#Perhaps literally depending on the magic situation in the place he was in#In my head Bill was 'hired' by a (shitty) villain and he got out of it by doing a quick betrayal and demanding to be cast out by the 'heros#“I Got THIS to get back to!! You think I wanna keep him waiting???”#He already hovers in his normal triangle form but this man was practically floating with delight heading back to Dipper#A graph of Bill's mood would start out super low then spike sharply at the pic#It then stays super high up with more spikes during all the shenanigans#After the smut they likely get cleaned up. Cuddle. And talk shit about idiots they've had to deal with#Bill Cipher has gone from doing his evil deeds and playing piano to an empty bedroom while raiding his own bar for distraction#To coming home to someone who'll listen to him bitch about his day and absolutely bicker with him about it#Calling him the worst thing in the universe. A scourge upon reality.#The most clever awful bastard. How *dare* he be handsome that's a crime -and frankly Dipper basically did it for him so he can't take credi#And sometimes even saying 'yeah you didn't *entirely* deserve to be screwed over that way. I could have done that *way* better.'#While Bill rests his head in his lap. Having someone listen to him ramble while he gets his hair played with. Lots of really good kisses#Warm. Close. Grossly domestic. But hey! Even *sex* can seem gross if you phrase it weird and *that's* a normal demonic pleasure#Sometimes fun things are just fuckin' FUN y'know?? Even if this one seems weird to other demons#It's. Nice. REALLY nice.#There's absolute no goddamn way he's going back to NOT having this#Even death won't pry it out of his greedy little mitts

My partner is shorter than me, so all of my hoodies and jackets are comfortably oversized on her. She tends to take full advantage of this by stealing whatever hoodie or jacket I'm wearing at the time. I let her, because I would absolutely do the same thing if I were in her position. Unfortunately, I can't do the same thing, because most of her jackets and hoodies are too short in the sleeve for me to wear, and therefore we don't get to have equal hoodie exchange.
I just steal her blankets instead. Because equality.
#queerplatonic#queerplatonic partner#queerplatonic relationship#qpp#qpr#hoodie theft#we usually end up snuggled up together anyway so it doesn't matter#i'm always cold and she gets quite warm#and then at nighttime i get pretty hot and she's always freezing when she sleeps#the temperature balances out perfectly no matter the time of day#of course it would be good if we could actually put that into practice#but NO we live far enough away from each other that we only see each other a few times a year#i miss her

God, this is fucking crazy
So i only have 3 more classes to take, but it'll cost the same to take 3 classes as 4 classes. So I've been thinking about taking a 4th class just for the hell of it. Something fun and/or easy.
Out of curiosity, I looked up orchestras. I was in it in my first year, but I haven't consistently played since 2016. But I still dream about being in an orchestra again. I *miss it*. So I was like. Well, what if *that* was my 4th class next semester? What If?
I looked it up. This week is the last week they're doing auditions for it. There was only one more spot free after today. And that's *tomorrow evening*.
I haven't really played my violin much in YEARS. I'm so out of practice. But apparently they don't reject anyone outright. Auditions are just for placement. So worst case scenario, I get placed in an orchestra at a lower skill level than I was at my prime. It'd still be an orchestra.
It's crazy short notice, but I don't think I'd forgive myself if I passed it up. Bc I have just one more semester before I graduate. One last opportunity to be in a school orchestra. And if I didn't do this, I'd be left with that What If forever.
So. Crazy short notice, but I have a violin audition tomorrow!!! Hahahaha
#speculation nation#im literally shaking with nerves rn but i want this so so so badly#i remember. how to play. my arms are just so much stiffer than they used to be. and my nails. man im gonna have to trim my fucking nails#at least my left hand. kinda sucks bc i like the polish i have on rn but u cant have any long nail at all for violin.#i need to play two scales of my choosing. ascending and descending in three octaves.#recommended for violin is A C or E-flat major. of course i know A and C but i'd have to look up E-flat. never did much with flats in school#then again i have that One Two Three and a Half rhythm Down. thats how id often warm myself up.#start with the base G string and just do a scale up and down (one octave). go up to the next note. do it again.#again and again until i started running out of room on the E string. & if i was Real motivated maybe id start shifting to continue.#so all id need to do is find the E flat and id be good. it all follows the same pattern.#the harder challenge will be the solo or etude. 2-3 minutes in length. only *one day* to prepare.#i have NO IDEA what id even play. i'll look in my old sheet music to see if theres anything that might work#simple enough for me to relearn on such short notice. and interesting enough to be played solo#(since i was always in orchestras it's not always the best for solo playing. tho i was also first violin section a lot#which is Basically the same as playing solo lmaooo)#if i cant find anything i do have a few sheet music books i could look in. id hate to play smth too simple#but better simple and Right than trying to do something above my current skill level.#which IRKS ME bc once upon a time i was the 4th best violinist in my high school. out of nearly 2k students.#but thats what happens when u go years without consistent practice :p ur arm gets Stiff.#im. still nervous but also thinking about the music is making me EXCITED.#it's going to be a wild time prepping for this thing but itll be over in like 5 mins and i dont even have to worry about Passing#so long as i *do it* i should get into something. i just need to push myself. do it. get out there. *play your violin*#i already cried in a public bathroom for 10 mins today and im feeling emotional Again.#not quite crying emotional tho thankfully. just. i feel like i need to climb onto a rooftop and SCREAM!!!! but like in a good way.#so so so nervous but itll be so so so worth it. i could be in an orchestra again. finally. finally finally finally.#and i STILL NEED TO FINISH THIS ASSIGNMENT.....!!!! hfkahfks today has been. a DAY.#just. keeps going through my head. i could be in an orchestra again. i could be in an orchestra again. at least one more time.

drawing komaeda hair is honestly a great art exercise
#marzi speaks#i try to think of it in 3 dimensions#so it’s good practice in line confidence. controlled randomness. tendrils in general#it’d make a great warm up. put komaeda’s hair on a sphere (or a head) at a bunch of different angles#it’s fun to draw in motion too

AAA - ダイジナコト "Smiling outside, crying inside, sometimes I can't tell the difference"
#aaa#attack all around#hidaka mitsuhiro#you can easily say I'm bored when I practice gif making with such an old music video#the only one good thing is that the fandom is for sure dead now so nobody will be interested and it can just be there somewhere on my blog#also only now I noticed I probably messed up a bit with color settings as the first one is in slightly more warm tone than others two ;-;#still having a lot of freaking respect to gif making people#trials and failures of making gifs

The reason fashion designers and people who care about fashion trends can’t pull off grunge is because they’re scared to be ugly. They need want to be hot and fashionable at all times. They want to be casual and go against the norm but at the same time they need to be hot, they need get a good picture to post on Instagram. So you get this very watered down glamorous version of grunge that’s all about pre-ripped jeans and expensive flannels and fishnets paired with Doc Martens (which are no longer affordable) and a perfect winged eyeliner because you have to look perfect and hot and put together. You want to give off the air of not giving a shit but you don’t want to be ugly. They want to look edgy and gritty but how can you do that if you’re scared to be ugly?
#i'm sorry i won't shut up about this#but i just find the evolution of so called grunge fashion fascinating#it never even really existed and yet somehow it still managed to get gentrified#also there is some genuinely ugly grunge inspired runway fashion but it's also like designer fashion so it's still missing the point#i feel like a lot of runway fashion is ugly but in a very different way than normal clothes can be ugly#like grunge isn't even purposely ugly in the way punk was#punk was a statement - it was a fuck you to modern sensibilities - it was meant to shock#grunge was just not giving a shit#it wasn't purposely ugly it just was sometimes because functionality and affordability came before looks#also i don't think caring about fashion is necessarily a bad thing#there are some days where i do not care how i look so i just put on a warm sweatshirt and call it good#but other days i want to look cute i got a jean jacket because i think it's cute#i want to buy an army jacket because i think they're cute#but grunge is first and foremost about being practical not about being cute and trendy

Caricature based on one of my friends.
#my art#procreate#illustration digital#illustration art#artwork#illustration on tumblr#My asks open in two days!#Im super excited- I’m trying to warm up!#Im not sure how I feel about this design as a whole- but I’m glad I’m practicing rendering#Turns out that painting on top of the piece changes so much! And it’s easier than juggling a million layers#The person this is based on does a very endearing little pout and head tilt whenever they’re in thought#It reminds me of the way a dog looks up in loving thought of their owner#I’m not very good at drawing dogs so I chose a different animal…#I do wish I did a better job of capturing them in thought. It’s one of my favorite things about them.

You know what, joining that Discord show club was a great idea, like half of my favourite PKC folks are there. And is there anything more wholesome than someone going '1!! hey, I remember that dog!! she's adorable, I'm glad she's doing well!' about a little pixel friend they made for you years ago?
#someone also said they liked one of my older petz that I got from a member of the Polish Petz community back in the day#and we went on to reminiscent about how the community used to be back then#honestly? in a way that talk is the closest thing I'll ever get to closure in regards to what happened with the PKC#and I think that with that I can actually try and move on#even though it's pretty damn tough when a niche site that's been around since you were born just...... falls apart due to technical issues#but I've done it before. SHiR felt like it would never go away too after all#and I was there with PTI practically since the very beginning and until the very end#anyways the Petz community is still so vibrant and cool#it hurts but it'll heal. It somehow hurts way more now that I'm an adult though.#maybe because now the Polish Petz community basically /has/ no home? and I've known some of those people since I was 11?#still.... all good things must come an end and I can accept it. I feel I'm slowly getting closer to that point.#maybe I'll slowly warm up to the concept of using my RKC account ahahaha.... the RKC people were always really nice after all#the Petz community at large won't die anytime soon I don't think. Most of us have been here for at least 10 years after all.#a huge chunk of them for 20+ years#again. some people have been here longer than I've been alive#it's not something that can entirely disappear
