art technique bleaargh
Years ago I'd settled on pencil => ink => color as easier than simply launching in and painting over pencils, and wound up doing comic book cut-and-grad coloring as potentially faster.
If comics use it, it's gotta be fast to turn out right? And if I finish art faster, that means I can learn more about coloring, potentially turn things around faster for customers, theoretically finish things rather than wander away and forget about em, right?
Of course NOW I'm seeing "block out big chunks of value, glaze color from there" is potentially much faster. Cell shading would give me a unified way of just blocking shading, work with lighter linework, and it'd also get me value contrast faster. I think maybe I can swap styles and still get the benefits of speed.
Gotta say "It's 3 AM, how could I shake up making art" is way better than "It's 3 AM and I'm a TERRIBLE ARTIST."
What if;
You condensed D&D “races” down to 4-6 playable non human stat boosts and 1-3 special abilities. Str + Cha, Int + Dex, Wis + Con etc, options like extra action per round, teleport 30’ once per rest etc.
Then you let players mix and match and choose the critters’ looks and culture. And those were big non human groups in your world. Unicorns, frog-folk, 4e gnomes, primitive illithid descendents, draconic satyrs, whatever.
#subpost AI will mean I can request my own personal movie where Marilyn Monroe is so into my brainpower that she's eager to peg me, but also she has eight fingers, is apparently Nichelle Nichols c. 1968, the plot's lifed verbatim from Some Like It Hot, and the backgrounds give me a massive migraine.
The last #drawing colored up today, actually from the most recent batch of stuff I scanned, I flatted this thing out Thursday I think.
Back in late summer/early autumn I started coloring some #drawings and I finally got off my ass and finished up three of them. So I'm gonna spam art for a bit. Here's what I had least finished before that temp job ended, so the most influenced by stuff I've learned recently.

Gummi Bears X Dune fanfic in which the secret of Gummiberry Juice (secreted from a drowned immature sandworm) grants them the blue-within-blue Gummi Bear Stare and the power of Gummi Bear jumps, which means they bounce without rhythm and thus don’t attract the worm.
You can go with that or you can go with this *dings elevator *
moving is really, really expensive. especially when you have to do it twice because the old place shoos you out early and the new low-income place keeps having crises of its own.
we need $80 asap for our hotel stay, as well as any money for cheap food we can get.
...and I hate to ask this, but my boyfriend picked up a second cat, which we have technically not reported to the hotel yet, so emergency money for a second pet deposit (it'd probably be around $100 for our current stay) might be a good idea.
thank you for everything, fedi, and have a picture of the new baby in exchange. she seems to be a sixish month old abandoned kitten and is the friendliest little thing in the world.

Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
