Rebageling Blog

Self-username claim and reblogging blog. Everything else TBA. Yes I am Earwiggy, my main is @sindumpster. Sometimes I fact check other posts if I'm knowledgeable.

[earwiggy-the-pest]

Making a pinned post because yeah. I should probably do that.

But hi! You may or may not know me as @sindumpster, AKA: Earwiggy, or “Wiggy” for short. I’m an artist by trade.

Since quite a few people find this blog without knowing my main, DO NOT follow it unless you’re into weird kinks, weird [censored] stuff, weird OCs, and also some not weird stuff.

Occasionally I will reblog those kinks here, but the majority of things I reblog are memes, science, advocacy, art, and things I find cool or interesting. And sex jokes.

I try to avoid reblogging negative things including world events or drama unless it includes a call for realistic action, or I think it’s important or necessary to know. I don’t care for blanket doomerism, nihilism, or misanthropy, so if you subscribe to those ideals, you will likely not enjoy my posts or commentary.

extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

examples:

A very nice wizard who is NOT evil, has NEVER been canceled, and has NEVER stepped on or eaten ANY peasants while turned into a dragon. What would make you think that??

I am allowing Theo to be vaguer than usual in his monologue here, but I think you get the idea.

10/10 uncomfortable if someone with any ability to hold him responsible asked this, and I would hope that he'd lie to them more cleverly than he tells the truth.

Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

ALSO!!

YELLOWING!! Digital art is very blue-light based. Cold, clean, flat. But traditional art has warmth to it. Why?

Over time, paper gets yellowed with dust, oil, dirt, and nicotine from cigarettes! So colors got warmer. This makes art look pretty aged, on top of the slight toned papers and hand made/factory made inks they printed with.

A Brief and Broad History of Post Golden Age-Pre-Digital Comic Book Coloring

If I told you to think of a Silver Age comic book, what image does your mind conjure? Chances are, you’re picturing a comic with bold lines…

Dang y'all like old art!! Here's a couple resources too for those who wanna learn some more :]

------------------------------------------

ADDITION: I KEEP MEANING TO MENTION THIS-- YOU CAN SET YOUR CANVAS TO CMYK INSTEAD OF RGB FOR BETTER COLORS! :D

CMYK is meant for printing, while RBG is a light spectrum color setting.

You can look up how to do this for whichever drawing program you use since it can change from program-to-program!

Ok, THIS IS AWESOME

Totally obsessed with learning how these mediums work, thank you @fuzziemutt for sharing your wells of knowledge 🫵
