i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

[gayvampyr]

“red and green are opposites 🥰” cool now how do i paint a tree with pinks and blues without it looking like a child’s finger painting or incongruous blobs of rainbow vomit

[gayvampyr]

ok i can’t explain it very well but im looking for tips and techniques for rendering art like

with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing

is it too much to ask

[moreclaypigeons]

gonna drop some sources I have saved on Pinterest! I don't know if these all link back to the original sources so apologies for that

cohesive but still contrasting

This kind of talks about color and composition

This is a bit about landscape specifically

Values & composition

Contrast in composition

Balance in colors & values

This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones

Cohesion within compositions/lighting

"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!

This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!

Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process

With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)

thanks this is super helpful! /gen

I see a lot of misconception/fanon about the Constructicons acting as medics for the Decepticons in G1 and while there's no proof to support this, there is for Starscream out of LITERALLY everyone else

Starscream is the the only one seen treating cons in a medical setting in G1, which implies that hes literally the only one knowledgeable enough on the entire base to be somehow designated to do all the operations(more knowledgeable than the constructicons and even shockwave) Also the fact that MEGATRON trusts him enough to not sabotage this is something else. Also their bickering here is peak, can't get any more old married couple than this.

[sjincer]

ah yes the tiktok memes

[miche-mill]

ah they are so father and son to me I canttt

tbh I was inspired by the "How the years gone by" by lets_support_frogs on ao3 that is so peak guys

Objects as spaceships, by Eric Geusz

[cloudfreed]

My favorite is the fidget spinner space station. It almost feels like someone designed it first and then fidget spinners came out and now everyone laughs at it… instead of the other way around.

[nny11writes]

It’s Eric! He was one of my best friends in highschool!

He also does series of space cats, and one of the ones floating upside down and looking at you is based on my cat Ginger :D

The kitty herself, Ginger!

He’s a super cool dude and seeing his art on tumblr is nuts!

Check out his website, which includes an area to buy prints

You can see more of his work in general on Instagram

And buy T-Shirts too! 

God yeah I will hype him every chance I get lol!

[callmebliss-got-swamped]

O love how the one based on the sriracha bottle is still very clearly that but now with FIRE

I have an idea for you: Lucifer Doesn't like Alastor however he like Vox

because Vox treats him better than Alastor

Vox tries to prevent Alastor from causing problems with the king

So Lucifer flirting with Vox in front of Alastor

or

Lucifer Steals Vox's attention from Alastor

What do you think Alastor would react if this happened?

I'm pretty sure Alastor isn't really the jealous or possessive type, at least not genuinely! He's really confident of himself and the relationship he formed with Vox so many years ago that he doesn't even consider it possible that someone like the king himself could just create a rift in that bond.

However, that doesn't stop him from acting "jealous" or "annoyed" for his own amusement when he mentions his new friendship with Lucifer to Vox.

We all know that he always enjoys getting a reaction from people and even Vox is not spared from that.

A visit (part2/2)

[monsterritory]

It's giving "I am So Fucking Tired I slept in a God Damn Office Chair for a Bloody Week and had to Manipulate Mansplain Manwife my way through Three Fucking Deals and a Throuple Therapy in a spawn of one week just to get my Stupid Fucking Stick fixed I am so Fucking Ready to take every classical substance known to a 30s man and Black The Fuck Out for at least A Month I literally Never want to hear Any Word beginning with a V ever again."

[ranma0]

Part of what interests me so much about Vox and Alastor's relationship is:

No matter if Vox loves Alastor or hates him, it's Vox's problem, not Alastor's.

Alastor owed him nothing, and it was within his rights to leave

and if Vox is upset about that, his feelings are valid, but it still wasn't Alastor's fault

I dunno as an ace person his lack of guilt speaks to me. Alastor is unapologetic and in this situation he's right to be

[downthegenderriver]

#this is why i have a deep hatred for when people imply that alastor should be punished in any way for saying no to vox

#that would be a deeply disturbing message to send about the ace character considering how many ace people tend to feel bad for saying no

< prev tags

Yeah I get a horrible vibe when people say the humiliation Vox put Alastor through in s2e4 was "deserved". Like sure Alastor could have been nicer abour turning Vox down but it was 70 year ago and like... the cuck chair is sexual harassment, and depending on how Vox figured out about Alastor's lack of a tail, potentially sexual assault as well.

[diamondkat]

Exactly. I know Alastor is terrible at being a victim, but I found the way some people talked about the whole thing very disturbing. It was as if they genuinely thought all of that was acceptable in response to a rejection that occurred 70 years ago. What kind of incel logic is that? It gave off very victim-blamey vibes. You should have been nicer, so you deserve to be stalked for 70 years and then be tortured and experience sexual harassment.

Then the whole joke about Alastor being a hypocrite got so out of hand that some people straight up started saying that Alastor, despite everything Vox put him through in episode 4, did not have the right to call Vox a creep because Alastor had touched people in the past. I hope future episodes continue to validate Alastor's no.

[alastors-totally-canon-deertail]

The people who said Alastor deserved public humiliation and sexual harassment for the ‘No’ he gave Vox set my teeth on edge.

I may love Radiostatic but Alastor owed Vox NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING. He had no obligation to return Vox’s feelings and it drives me insane that people think he should have said yes just to make Vox happy.

Like Alastor’s autonomy and identity don’t matter. Like he’s a prize or prop to be used for Vox’s benefit.

I hate it!

Vox’s happiness is not Alastor’s responsibility.

He should have made Vox cry harder tbh.

Hopping on the Vox-meets-human-Alastor train cuz I'm obsessed
