TLOBK SAD NEWS/GOOD NEWS (11/16)

Sad News first:

I thought I'd be back on my bullshit, and able to update today, but these past two weeks have been insane. I suddenly found myself in the position of very little free time and adjusting to some big life changes. Which means I don't have enough free time for right now to keep up with my regular posting schedule. I really enjoyed it while it lasted, and if I can, I hope to build up enough backlog of the fic where I could potentially return to that, but I don't want to keep dragging it out every week and getting peoples' hopes up.

So for the foreseeable future, I'll be doing a bit more of a 'normal' fanfic posting schedule, which is, not having a posting schedule and just updating whenever I can.

Good News:

(idk if this is good news, but I want to reassure) my passion and love of this fic is still just as strong as ever, I just don't have nearly enough time to concentrate it in the way I have been.

I will get to every comment and reply as I always have, and I WILL finish this fic, so please don't worry about that.

I always always love interacting and talking with others about this fic and none of that has changed. It's really upsetting to me that I have to prioritize other life things right now, because this fic and community has been such a source of comfort for me and I appreciate you all so much who have stuck around since the beginning.

I can say, I only have about of a 1/3 of chapter 15 written, but I'll post it when it's done and edited, so you can expect it sometime sooner than later. I never want to drag out updates to be months at a time or anything, but every week as of right now isn't doable either, so definitely I want to find a nice in between.

Anyways, thank you so much for all the patience, love and support~~~

gah i'm also so upset that my life is imploding right as I'm getting to the part i've been wanting to write all along kajwklejlakmwelkaw lol okay oh well such is life 😭😭😭😭

“How to draw folds ✍🏻👕✨”

[almakrowan]

So I posted a silly doodle yesterday on twitter and now people think it was a tutorial. So I got upset and made an actual tutorial so noone says I halfassed the yesterday's one 😡😡😡

Here you go: ~How I draw braids~ 🩷🙏

[arlatius-art]

fast rendering tutorial for when you dont want to put in any effort

[bubsbunny]

I’ll have to try this out and see how it goes.

[murasaki-cha]

How do you sketch & render your clothing folds, if i may ask? They look very pretty!

I am the least qualified person to give a tutorial but sure let's do this.

No I'm a self taught artist so a lot of this is just me using the good ol' "Fuck around and Find out" technique. So the example I'll might not be the best but it will give a general idea.

First you get your sketch/lineart + flat color. As you can see I've already drawn the fold lines. It's best to know where the shirt is getting pulled more from because that's the general direction that the folds start from and where fore folds are.

Next, on a clipping layer, I just draw with a darker color the places that will be shaded with a watercolor brush or pencil brush, just a brush that kind of fades works. This doesn't have to be accurate coloring it can be just messy blobs. But always keep in mind were the light is hitting the shirt so you'll know which direction to draw the shadows bigger and darker at

Than with a soft eraser I start erasing the shading and fixing it by going back with the brush. This is a lot of back and forth between the eraser and brush until you get to a point where it looks good in your eyes (i lowered the opacity a bit here because I thought the shade color was too dark)

(Note: during more detailed drawings I like to go in with a darker shade color at the deepest corners for more depth and detail)

On a new clipping layer, by using an airbrush or the gradient tool, with the same colour I used for the shading, I darken the top and bottom. Why? Because it looks cool idk.

And usually that's where I leave it but sometimes I might add a lighter color for some lighting on the cloth by using the same steps as for the shading, this may depend on the fabric you imagine the clothes have. Or I've seen some people airbrush the parts of the outfit near the skin and that gives off a cool effect too

Now as you might have noticed this is the ugliest shirt ever. And that's because I did this in 10 minutes from my ✨️imagination✨️. Usually I have reference pics when drawing which give me a general idea of how the folds should look like and that is a life saver. This was just to give a general idea of how it works. Here are some examples of actual good shading I've done

Hope this helps👋✨️

Here, take my industry secrets.

I don't want people to spend their money on art school when I can make resources for free for them.

Hey here's a step-by-step guide to making concept art pieces using the industry "Collage > Painting" pipeline. It's how artists pump out a shit ton of concept work for their bosses at record speeds. Intended for newer artists!

Perpetual Pause, a practice in pain (Ch. 2)

Here's the an update to Perpetual Pause! Shouto's POV companion fic to The Luxury of Being Known fic.

If you want to read this and need some comfort lol, this takes place before Ch. 10 of TLOBK.

This follows Shouto's POV of what he goes through in the three days after the Sports Festival--after Endeavor has dragged him from UA after placing second.

Thanks everyone for your patience with my skipping TLOBK updates this week. 😍 I have just been having an angsty kind of week and so I ended up writing this angst/hurt fest bc that's what I needed. hehe

[caullie]

The Luxury of Being Known: Sat 11/9 No Update This week (sry! 😭)

This has been a pretty hellish week for me, and I didn't have the bandwidth to finish Chapter 15.

The angst in my real life has been going kind of hard, so I did end up writing a new Perpetual Pause chapter, which I will post soon (instead of chapter 15), so hopefully that will help tide things over until the next week! (11/16)

I should be back on my bullshit by then, so yeah, just a heads up: No update this saturday 😭😭

Sorry!!!

[illusionremember]

Well, I don't know about y'all, but completely regardless of what happens in the next few days? I am not fucking giving up. We don't know the full results yet, but I'm already angry. I mean literally mad as hell. I think really, I've been mad as hell for a very long time.

So you know what? I am going to be fucking kind. I am going to be fucking compassionate. I am going to fucking help where I can, and keep making my tiny little corner of the universe as full of love and hope as I can. I am going to keep voting, because that's one step closer to fucking fixing this. I am going to keep raising my voice, and uplifting others' voices, because I've got one fucking skill in this world and that's stories.

You know why I'm going to do all this? Because that's what this is all about. The entire purpose of human society is to take care of those around you. I've spent way too long dragging my way out of despair to let it drag me back again.

Take the time you need. Take a step back to take care of yourself, so that when you're ready, you can help take care of others. As for me, it's my turn to take a step forward.

With Trump looking on track to win, I just want to give some hope for people right now.

The Senate is Republican, but two years in the future a third of the Senate will be reelected, meaning Trump has at most 2 years to work with an agreeable Senate

Whether or not Trump goes through with project 2025 or not, this will most definitely be our last term with him

If he doesn't do what he promised, his voter base will get mad they didn't get what they voted for

If he does do what he promised, his voter base will get mad when they realise tariffs=higher costs and when their taxes don't decrease

People WILL protest in their states and nationally and either a) Trump listens or b) Trump ignores it and people become more disillusioned with him

There is no way Trump will do something that can't be reversible or managed by the later President

If Trump supporters do become disillusioned, we could see a blue midterm

1/2 of Congress is needed to pass a bill

Just take a breath. It isn't going to be great, but we can and will survive.

Pick one and reblog so those who are anxious, scared or nervous about something can pick something nice for themself as a small distraction from the world

The smell of the rain as you cozy up in bed, enjoying a good movie

Gentle ocean waves on your skin

A hug from your favorite person

An hour with dozens of puppies who want to play with you

A lovely walk in a lavender field

Plane tickets to any place you want, for you and anyone you want to travel with

Endless fanfics from your favorite authors about your favorite ships and tropes

Time traveling back to your childhood where things are simple and you are happy

A reminder that things will get better, even if it doesn’t look like it will

The most delicious food you will ever eat

Star gazing with your loved ones, surrounded by nature

Peaceful time in a beautiful garden with a cup of tea and your favorite book(s)

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

Oh no, Shouto caught a case of the doki dokis! I've decided, blushy Shouto is my favorite to draw. So. Much. Blushing.

I wasn't feeling the greatest today, so I treated myself to more MHA, what can I say?

[caullie]

BLUSHING SHOUTO IS SO ADORABLE

Omg this is so amazingly drawn
