bro now i too am thinking about some sato and burai bonding.... like....... burai gets dropped off outside school on Monday after visiting home for the weekend. anyone looking can catch a glimpse of his mom storming off and he's clearly been crying but he won't address it at all. he just sits at the front of the class completely stone faced and silent. everyone is ConcernedTM but he just shakes his head when asked about it.

finally sato pulls him aside and is like hey... you good... and burai admits he got into an argument with his mom right before class and apologises for acting weird. and then completely unrelated to that (/s), he asks sato if he thinks burai is... good at being a boy... or if he's not fooling anyone, and he feels really silly about it but there u go im cringe

bro...........

I dont speak for the class bro but im sure they'd all help Burai but if he needs an adult instead of his friends to chat with him allow me to channels as much positive dad energy as much as I can into sato--

homeroom goes as usual, and just as sato dismisses class for a short break, he calls his Vice President for a short "class officer" chat without trying to make it too obvious why (so that his other classmates dont intrude for his sake)

honestly he's just glad Burai was able to tell him everything that happened, and was mostly worried that his student wouldn't tell him what was going on. he's his teacher, of course, he knows his background, and has talked to his mother a few times for PTA and general updates to parents regarding their children's performance in school and hooo boy. as his teacher, sato's glad hes done his part enough to make sure Burai feels like a boy (I like to think he was the one who permitted him/gave him the male uniform COS HEY....BNHA IS MY CANON NOW SO ITS FREE REAL ESTATE, UA IS NOT A SINGLE DROP OF TRANSPHOBIC AND SUPPORTS THEIR TRANS KIDS TO WEAR WHATEVER UNIFORM THEY WANT) and even if the mother got upset, he was also just as content to see her try and sue UA for "doing what the teacher thought was best for her daughter" but BOOM they aren't transphobic and she just stormed off and let it slide <3

sato isn't trans, so he would tell Burai that he doesnt really know much abt this since it differs between people, but passing is a total preference. some ppl want to pass some dont, some ppl want to look heteronormative and some want to look gnc af. but he would tell Burai that he doesnt have to be good, or even the best at being a boy because he...already is. he doesn't have to try so hard to be one, because he already is. he's not fooling anyone, but he might be fooling himself for thinking he isn't.

"Banzai. You're not a fake guy."

He ruffles his hair enough to look earnestly into his student's eyes.

"...you're the real deal."

Hi! Could you help me out with the lighting/shading? I’m not sure if the placement is correct, or if the colours I chose work well. Also, the glow effect on the fire could’ve been done a bit better @@. If possible, could Mod Chekov redline my submission? Thank you in advance!

(submitted by vivlet-evergarden)

Hey there, and thank you for submitting! 

(You picked the wrong person to ask about colors, because I’m definitely the one mod who almost NEVER works with colors, and it probably shows. But I did my best, and I hope this helps at least somewhat.)

My biggest qualm with this is probably the palette you picked in the first place. I wasn’t sure what kind of atmosphere you wanted, but since you mentioned that you wanted a better glow effect on the fire I tried to oblige by creating more contrast. Sometimes it seems scary to use a lot of very bright or very dark colors… but overall it will create a much better mood for your picture, so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Another thing is brushes. I see that you’re using a pencil/pen brush for lineart, and then using an airbrush to do the glow on the flames. Unfortunately, it often looks strange to use two completely different types of brushes to create an effect that is supposed to be the result of the same thing - lighting! 

Blurring shadows or lights isn’t bad, but it should be consistent. If your shadows are 2D cell shading, but your highlights are blurred and smeared it creates a bit of a confusion for the viewer. 

Instead of this, try to create various effects by making the brush bigger and controlling the strokes to be fatter/thinner via pressure! 

Either way, good job!

(*cracks knuckles* this is gonna take a while😂)

 9) What calms them when they are upset?It depends on when and where he is. At the office, or on a case that takes him away from Central, something that hits too close to home, he has breathing exercises and a stack of pictures of his family. 

At home, waking up from a nightmare of blood, heat, and sand, he rolls to his right and cuddles up to Gracia. She wasn’t there, and the smell and feel of her isn’t always enough to get him to fall asleep again, but it’s enough to call him down.

There wasn’t really something that calmed him down in Ishval. Sure, he got upset the first few times he saw someone near him get killed, or when he realised the Ishvalan man he shot was actually an Ishvalan boy, but like most soldiers he got used to it after a while. There’s no time for emotional breakdowns, so he just pushed it down. Roy made him forget where he was for a few dozen minutes at a time, but an uncomfortable army cot is still an uncomfortable army cot and the sand got everywhere and that horrible smell that constantly clung to Roy made it clear they weren’t in the Academy anymore.

As the oldest child of an ambitious senior officer he learned early in life to push all negative emotions down, and to never get upset. That didn’t really change until he went to the Academy and met Roy. Whenever he noticed Maes was upset (when he put down his cup too hard, when he didn’t eat his quiche that fast, when his smile was just a bit too wide) he’d offer a listening ear. Maes thought it was a joke at first, but when he jokingly ranted at Roy he found out it actually did feel better. Later, when their friendship became more than that, having Roy cuddle him and play with his hair calmed him down even more.

(phew, that was a long one)

10) How they deal with pain. He hides it, mostly. He knows that hiding something potentially life-threatening is a dumb thing to do, but he won’t cry or curse. Just grits his teeth and breathes.

24) What they wish they could change about themselvesSometimes he wishes he didn’t notice so much. He doesn’t need to know about his neighbour’s drinking problem, or the abuse going on behind closed doors of a Major General’s. He just sees it, and there’s nothing he can do about it. It just adds to his emotional burdens.

Sometimes he wishes he had the courage to tell Roy that he’d get court-martialed and put in front of a firing squad before he even got close to becoming Führer, but he sees that it’s the only thing keeping his friend afloat most of the time. 

Sometimes he wishes he wasn’t so selfish that he asked Gracia to write to him when he went to the frontlines. That he forces her to be stuck with a man who is gone weeks on end, and even when his promotion keeps him in Central, he now always misses lunch and is usually late for dinner.

But most of the time he wishes he could change his eyes, so he wouldn’t need glasses.

Both are good, but I’ve had much better curly fries than I’ve had waffle fries.

Tumblr only eats one character asks, which is why a message with only '1' in it wouldnt go through

📚 How many layers do you typically use?

I usually use between 9 and 15. It really varies. The last Riza piece was just 5 layers but I’ve had some pieces go up to about 30 like this Sheskain piece which is about 28 layers. It really just depends on what I’m doing and what style of drawing I’m using (I’ve got like 4 different ways to go about drawing)

🍀 You wish your art was more..(fill in the blank)

Aw man I wish my art was more fluid. I feel like it is so stiff and lifeless. I think I just need to work on poses and expressions to fix this.

🌊 What’s the hardest thing for you to draw?

Normally arms and hair are the hardest for me to draw. Lately it feels like everything is hard to draw but idk. I’ve been practicing torsos and legs by going through the Lane Bryant website and drawing random bra and underwear models so I can get a grasp on all body types.

Thanks for requesting

Dear vivlet-evergarden,

I sure do, pal.  Mr. Edgeworth’s just like a member of my own family.  His office isn’t the same without him in it.

I’ve thought about using that Zoom thing to chat with him while he’s away, but my phone doesn’t even have a screen.  I’d probably look like a static-y mess with the kind of connection my place has, anyway.
