Adventures of a 20-Something Year Old

A wonderful compilation about ME and the things I like

I thought Old Man Yaoi was like a specific person or entity. Like you walk down to the river, there’s Old Man Consequences, you walk down to the oak tree there’s Old Man Sensibility, and then you walk into the gay club and you’ll never guess who it is

i'd like to add that the shadow color isnt necessarily dictated entirely by the primary light source, but the bounce light! so for the example of a sunny environment, the reason the shadows are blue are because of the light from the blue sky reflects across the environment; but, if the character were to be under tree cover, the bounce light would be coming from the leaves and thus the shadow would look greener.

[danidarkarts]

Yee yee!!! You got it right on the nose!

Bounce light is something I didn't cover but I adore it!

Gotta work on my bounce light 💪

James Gurney is an absolute master and gives really good clarity on colour techniques. Yes, it is traditional paint focused, but the principles are the same. Yes it is informed by the environmental colour but as a painting technique it is achieved this way!

I would also suggest that in digital processing, rather than apply a regular colour layer at a mid opacity, try out the different types of layers, Eg. Screen or Multiply. This can give you at least a starting point to help direct your colour palette.

[technecat-scratchings]

Layer Blend Modes are so so so important to working in digital art. There's a ton of math that goes into figuring out how the layers should blend together, which is why some of the modes you can pick are literally called Multiply, Add, Divide, and Difference (that's subtraction). The graphics software takes the color values of your base and blend layers and runs a calculation to get your resulting layer appearance. The ones that don't have specifically mathematical sounding names are still doing calculations, but they're more complicated (think linear Algebra and higher). Some of them, like dodge and burn, are named for actual photo editing techniques.

While it's not super important to know about the mathematical side of blend modes, I think it's worth knowing at least enough about how each of the categories of blend modes works and why they do what they do; if for no other reason than having a starting point when you start experimenting with them in your work.

An overview of the basic blend modes and how they work from Genevieve's Design Studio: Accessible with minimal color knowledge; practical and illustration focused. https://youtu.be/kMc87hQrJd0?si=TWCB365pKSfWS8p0. (16 minutes) This creator also has a ton of free resources you can download, including a Blend Modes cheatsheet, but fair warning: you have to create an account to get them!

Want to learn even more about the math-y stuff? It has great film visuals! A video from FilmmakerIQ: You need some basic knowledge of RGB color models, understanding of values/luma, and at least a tenuous understanding of Algebraic formulas.

blending modes are great and super helpful but I'm going to push back slightly on closing a post about wanting to learn with a discussion on them. I'm a very firm believer that digital painters (and I say this as someone who mainly paints digitally these days) should learn things the "hard" traditional way, not because it builds character or any bullshit like that but because it gives you a much better grasp of what's happening. Blending modes are great for streamlining your workflow when you already know what you're doing, but if you're taught to rely on them without knowledge of the underlying principles at play, you're going to run into trouble in cases where you receive a result you weren't expecting and you're going to find it difficult to manually adjust the result.

Also, if and when you feel a desire to branch out into different mediums, you're going to have a much easier time of it if your understanding of color theory doesn't begin and end with blending modes.

#do you just grab new colors?? like sure i get it's hue shifting but what does that Mean#how do you know what shade of purplish pink to get when you're putting a red shirt under blue light??

@muntiller2

tl;dr putting aside the talk of blending modes and All That, you find this out basically by experimenting with the contrast of relative colours within a restricted hue (this is how i do it, anyway). Digital art is great for no-stakes experimenting because you never run out of paint or canvas.

In your red shirt under blue light example, you treat it as a new palette - this time in shades of blue and hues that are close to blue (purples, etc) Your job is to match the contrast of the red shirt's original hue with the new palette you have. If you get close enough you just trick the brain into going "Well fuck it, that's red under blue light ain't it?" and you're good to go.

My personal advice for practice is to look up palette swatches and try to convert characters into it (or whatever you want idk you might want to do environments or something). Working with a limited palette helps you understand how colors interact with each other, and how the way they contrast against one another can make different hues look like something else.

here comes small shading…tutorial? set of advises?? name it whatever you want. hope someone of y’all will find it at least a bit helpful!

I’m so. So happy. That this. Exists. Op I love you.

Jabber: stabs Zanka with Mankiras real form

Zanka, knowing he'll bleed out if Jabber removes Mankira: "Don't you dare pull out!"

Jabber: "..."

Zanka: "..."

And that's how they became friends. The end.

I know we love to portray Zanka as this confident, sadistic dom, but since he's so innocent in canon, I like to imagine that he unknowingly says dirty things all the time and gets super embarrassed when Jabber laughs at him.

[greenptid]

it turned out pretty vanilla for janka.... anyway!

Zanka, waking up once a strong poison washed off: where am i?

Jabber: heaven :D

Zanka, still out of it: oh

Zanka: didn't think you'd be here.

Bonus: how Jabber actually learned that info I'm basing this off au of solbonbon (screen under the cut) with slight edits. Basically they were meeting for rematches all the time and Zanka has barely ever won and got poisoned often. I feel like Zanka could be very anxious person prone to intrusive thoughts due to shitton of stress so maybe Jabber isn't that much at fault here, but it def gives them a reason to keep hanging out Initially this was supposed to be more of a edgy/hot thing with like rage makeout after kicking each other asses but i had some weird mood the other day that created the image of intrusive though Jabber and i guess i really toned it down with softness but at the moment it felt VERY fucked up and i think Zanka was pressed by these intrusive ideas too
