Hi! I am GalaxyCurious and this is my side-blog

is that song actually character-coded or is your brain a character-shaped hammer looking for lyrics to nail down somewhere

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.

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD

I love your art so much 😭😭 I just came across the one where silent salt draws shadow milk biting off Nila’s legs so he can reach him to kiss him, and that broke me 😭😭

GOSH I LOVE YOUR ARTTTT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSIJIDUFSIIDSHFJDH

👁️👄👁️

Awso, (I forgot to check if your request were open, so my sincerest apologies if they’re closed)

Could you maybe, just maybe, feed me a lil funny doodle of any sort with, I don’t know, perhaps shadow milk teasing white Lilly about silent salt?

IDFK

Something where someone is traumatized then made fun of/reminded of that 😭😭😭

Hope that’s not too much to ask-

ALSO AGAIN I LOVE YOUR ART 😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶✨

That's how the new chapter went right

(Not exactly what u asked for but I hope u enjoy it anyways)

(Reply to the ask and some rambling under the cut)

Thank u for all the kind words! I appreciate it a lot and I'm glad u like what I make :DD

This comic was started before the newest update so ofc it's not accurate to canon salt. I haven't completed it yet either but from what I've seen canon salt is kind of the opposite of what I made which is a shame cuz I do like my silly guy and I think I might keep drawing him that way, we can all agree that it's just an au or smthg idk.

It's a bit of a shame they didn't make him mute tho I understand why from a storytelling perspective. My Salt will always be mute tho :))
