I unfortunately don't have much of horror pngs so yeah. Anyw, i try to copy most editblr style with this one and find it quite enjoyable when outlining the pngs, maybe i should try doing it more in the future
Ughh.. It seems like i am infact failed to keep up with the events after all. Originally wanting to do the second day like what i wrote before but i think i end up with a wrong themes and now I'm stuck
8/8
Late update but i finally got back to Ensemble Stars, idk what else to do except for daily quests rn tho. Current events doesn't excite me much. Maybe i would play it sometimes just so i can get the title
Anyw, i just skip school on purpose for the first time ever in my life and definitely will never going to forget it cuz a school shooting also coincidentally happened in the same day. I can't tell the exact date and stuff for privacy but damn, that was wild. I was at cyber cafe at that time and suddenly, my mom called me asking where am i and if i was alright, idk what's going on at that time so i just answer it honestly (which is kinda dumb cuz she later nag me for it though she also sounds relief). I currently doesn't have much information since my classmates also clueless about it.
But hey, on the bright side, i now have a school day off and no trauma cuz i am not in the scene! Originally plan to spend it by reading Bluelock but i have to babysit my little cousin instead.. My current favourite is Gin btw though I'm still on chp 98
28/7 (below pict is a vent)
I already joined a editblr discord community but i am too scared to ask for their opinions and help there since most of them is a popular users and i can't help but feeling awkward since they all are on a whole different level.. Ughhh.. I really should try making a friends who i can discuss something like this but i must admit that i am a coward and can't make the first move.. I can't even dm anyone on my contact list asking about how they do this and that cuz I'm too scared. Dammit, i really should change ny account mascot, Makoto is way too good for me
23/7 (vent)
I fucking hate slow wifi so much. I want to participate in the events and have been trying to upload a same damn post for 11 times now cuz it keep end up failing halfway. This is seriously driving me crazy since i have to wait at least at the end of the month to renew the wifi to get the high speed one but the events is about to end already at that time. I even barely use the high speed one before it all get drained and now i have to suffer the aftermath myself
Got enough space, not enough wifi. Got enough wifi, not enough space. Got enough both but my fucked up schedule said no. I hate this so much. Maybe i really should consider skipping school next month to have more time for myself. To hell with my perfect attendance record, i seriously just so tired with it.
It's 1am already but i did it. It finally being uploaded. My graphic commission also just finished and it's really beautiful, definitely going to commission more from them since it also help with my mood, looking at how gorgeous it look like every time they finished my order. Higkey wish that i could show off it here but i don't want people to recognize me..
19/7
Late notice but Gangsta finally make a comeback! Also, i plan to start doing the editblr event things asap though my only problem rn is wifi cuz it just so damn slow! Even 5mb worth of file take 2 hours to download like seriously??
What i need rn is a kicau mania jj template cuz i have an idea for the Day 1 as Rinne Amagi ft Kicau Mania cuz i think it'll be funny. If not then maybe any chara with B2B?
Alec (Gangsta) with "I become a prostitute" by The Twilight also fit her vibes really well and i want to try
17/7

Badluck speed run, literally. Got myself looking like a maniac for having a panic attack in public for 2 hours, got food poisoning the day after that, a full rest yesterday and now, food poisoning S3 comeback ahh. I swear i pick my food carefully this time, i only ate rice with lamb soup, this package of goat milk and noodles that i wash thoroughly without putting in any seasoning so how tf.
9/7 (vent)
Got a burn on my left hands a bit cuz i turn off and then on the gas stove right away when noticing that there's no fire even tho it's already on which lead to a small fire burst. Tbh, i cry a little after that tho i really hope that no one noticed it. Anyw, tomorrow is my most precious bud birthday so i really really want to surprise him with something tomorrow. Tho i actually wish that i can bake a cake myself and give it straight to him so it'll be more meaningful
Upd . This guy is getting crazier and flirty each day bro i swear. If it not cuz i am still on move on phase and he is not my buddy then i would've definitely fall for him hard
Seriously, what's with this badluck? My sd card suddenly won't cooperate and i got like 31GB worth of files in there you know! How am i supposed to sleep like this??
8/7 (vent)
Having to go to school at 7:30am, back home at 5pm, have to go out at 7pm again for private tutoring, finally home at 9pm, have to play with my cousin till she fell asleep which is around 11pm and then have to do my homework first before going to sleep which is 1am. God, please spare me.
4/7 (vent)
The random glitch where your WhatsApp storage usage suddenly skyrocketed is really a pain to deal with.. Especially when it took all your remaining available storage and threatened to data reset if i don't give them more free space
2/7
/gulped.. Sorry chat, i failed to finish both events prompts cuz of school and stuff though I'm planning to join new one now
27/6 (vent)
Sorry, vent time. I know that i am the one who forced her to move on, yet i myself couldn't do the same. Seeing her with someone new wounds me but it's the consequences of my own action so i have no choice but to accept it. I'll try posting here more often, i need a place to distract myself after all though what i did rn is just running away
(Update on this is that i distract myself with games instead like playing Stardew Valley)
20/6
Lockin lockin
19/6
Okay so, it's confirmed that i got food poisoning few days ago though i am alright now. If you are reading this and waiting for my new post then dw, I'll be posting today to catch up with the current events I'm attending. Though i have to work on the edit first, only one is finished so far so ig it's time to lock in
Update : 2 down, 4 more to go. Guess I'll just post the one i already done with first. I wonder if i actually can post all the remaining edit in one day when it's supposed to be day by day.. But uhh guess I'll just try my luck
Imma take a short break. Just done taking a medic and im hella sleepy now (<- end up sleeping for 12 hours straight)
16/6
It's like 3am in the morning rn and my body feel so weird and weak.. I feel like getting a fever damn. Ughhh this is bad, maybe i really should've listened to my mom to not take a cold bath after 10pm. I really really hate how i feel both stomachache and nausea in the same time rn
(I unfortunately have to deleted some of the parts here)
15/6
Yeah, hello. Idk why did i do this but i think that it might make my account more accessible so why not?
Anyw, current yap topic for this time is that i can't choose which style i should go with. Cuz like, if you take a look at my edits, i did try to experiment with other editing style as well so it'll help to find what i like and also improving my skills but now? I have too many ideas to the point idk which to go with. Pinterest ain't helping either, they just making me more greedy.
I am focusing on two events rn, and currently on D4 on one of them where i have to pick which chara i want to edit, my pick is Mina mha cuz she's hella cute, i love her since the day i first discover MHA uhh anyw, i forgot what am i supposed to say.. Ah. I just got a new idea. Maybe i should try the editing style where they combine 2d render with rl background? I think it might be fun to experiment with. Mhmm, guess I'll work on that now but first, png hunting
Anyw, i kinda feel bad for taking advantage on someone's event for this but i really hope that they won't mind it. I mean.. They haven't said anything yet so ig it's a green light?

(PSD used is my own; IbisPaint coloring is my own. Here is the original image for reference.)
Have you ever tried to put an image under a PSD, only for it to turn out like...
...this?
There's a reason that happens, and a way to fix it.
WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE... THAT?
For those who don't know much about art, the original image is actually very heavy on red; Ivan's "white" shirt and "white" scleras are actually pink, his hair is highlighted in dark grey instead of the usual blue or cyan, and so forth. His skin is even the hexcode #E25969.
So why does the image look less red than it actually is? Well, the reason Ivan looks as though he's under dim, dramatic lighting and not like he's... well, sunburnt is because of color theory.
And while that's all fine and well in art, because it looks normal and cohesive in the actual art piece, it makes it really hard to edit. This is when color correction comes in.
WHAT IS COLOR CORRECTION, SIN?
I'm so glad you asked.
I'll try and keep this brief: color correction, as used in photo editing communities, is the process of correcting an image so that it's colors look more "normal." This can include making a super dark image have normal contrast, a super blue image less blue, a super desaturated image have saturated colors, etc.
In fact, you'll often see this in gifsets. Here's a post about it.
OKAY... HOW DO I MAKE HIM NOT SO RED?
Before you do anything, figure out what's going wrong when you edit your image. Is it too much of one color? Too dark? Too light?
Thankfully, we have already identified the problem with the art piece of Ivan. He's super red.
Now, we can solve this in both Photopea and Ibispaint. First, I'll tell you how to do it in Photopea.
PHOTOPEA
To color correct an image with too much of one color, you want to neutralize it. And to do this in Photopea, you're mainly going to want to use selective color layers and color balance layers. First, let's apply a color balance layer and turn down the red. Here are my settings, and how the image turned out:
Already, our image looks so much better. But Ivan still looks a bit... pink and dark, doesn't he? And now the black is a bit brighter, too. To counteract this, I'm going to use a selective color layer to darken the dark colors and add cyan and yellow to the red.
Just two layers and it looks nearly normal! Wasn't that easy?
Now, you can stop here. However, I wouldn't recommend it. See, because the image was so heavy on red, we had to neutralize it a lot. This resulted in those hearts turning magenta instead of red. He's also still pretty dark, and his shirt looks really cyan, which I don't want.
So, using another selective color layer: let's turn down the cyan, turn down the blue, add some yellow to our magenta and red, and brighten our whites. Then, I'll add a brightness and contrast layer.
Just look at the difference! I'd say I'm about done.
When we put it under the same PSD now, I get...
...this! It looks so much nicer, doesn't it?
IBISPAINT
First, I'll make a coloring so that, like with the photopea version, I can show you the difference in how the image will look when edited. Here's the coloring, and how it looks applied to the original image:
Um... It's not the literal worst thing in the world, I guess.
Now, in IbisPaint, the premise is more or less the same; you want to neutralize the color. It's just that the way you go about it is different. That doesn't necessarily mean it's hard, though. In fact, before I used Photopea, I used only IbisPaint to correct my images!
First, I'm going to put the original image in a folder. Then, I will colorpick from Ivan's skin and color a layer with that color. After that, I will invert the layer and set it to soft light. Here's what that looks like:
It's still pretty dark and pretty red, but that's a pretty drastic change! It's still not enough yet, though. Let's add another layer, color it with white, and set that to soft light, too.
Way less red, and way brighter! Maybe a bit too bright.
So, I'm going to be adding a brightness and contrast layer to darken the darker colors and lighten the lighter colors. However, IbisPaint's brightness and contrast filter tends to up saturation. Not to worry; you can just add an HSL layer to desaturate the image.
Again, you can stop here. I personally feel like the image is a bit too yellow, so I'm going to add a blue-grey soft light layer.
The change is a bit subtle, but I feel like it looks a lot better. Now, with the same coloring, here's what the color corrected image looks like:
Voila!
Now, I want to compare what the IbisPaint version looks like compared to the Photopea version.
If you can't tell what the differences are, what I noticed is that it has more contrast, it's less green/cyan, and it's more pink. Though, the reason it's so pink might be because of the blue-grey soft light filter. Overall, it looks pretty similar!
As you can tell, it's a bit harder to manipulate colors in Ibispaint, but you can still get a pretty good result.
Let's not talk about how the icon colouring looks different here (i forgot how i did it). I also actually quite proud on the banner tho it look really messy
