“Pitch the Crow” Part 2

Part 1 is here

rufftoon

That is just too cute not to reblog <3

The expressions, the little legs sticking out when he’s on his back…

ask-trick

Black Ice family dinners are pretty much the worst.

linddzz

Added to Evil Boyfriends canon.

tripletrilby

so there’s nightmare dork university…linddzz does that mean there’d be evil boyfriends university? NDU vs. EBU

would eb!jack be the infamous cousin that’s been mentioned in fics before?

hmmmmmmmm

ignore me just musing

ships-n-giggles

That…

linddzz

This is what happens when EB!Jack is drunk

BUT REALLY OK WHAT’S GREAT

IS THOSE TWO IN HUMAN-VERSE WOULD BE JUST AS UNHEALTHILY OBSESSED AND CREEPY. THEY EACH HAVE A SCAR ON THEIR HIP THAT IS THE OTHERS INITIALS.

PROTO IS THE ONLY THING MORE UNNERVING THAN THE EB BOYS

celestialdeth

CAN I DO FANART OF THAT I’M GOING TO DO FANART START THROWING HEADCANONS AT ME SO I CAN DO THAT

ships-n-giggles

OOOH! OOH! ME! I GOT ONE!

How about EBU’s Jack and Pitch run into NDU’s Pitchiner and Pitch and Jack and Koz get all-“HISSS DOWN WITH THE RIVAL SCHOOL” and both the Pitches are like “omfg srsly? down kitty”

celestialdeth

OMG DON’T NO I’M STARTING TO IMAGINE IT LIKE THAT SCENE IN GREASE WITH THE RIVAL SCHOOLS AND LEATHER JACKETS AND NO

ships-n-giggles

OH RLLY? >:} Well then lets see how this next exchange runs in your mind!

NDU Pitchiner: (all gruff and indimidating) THIS CAMPUS TOWN INNIT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE TWO OF US, TOOTHPASTE.

EBU JACK: (all toothy and growly) OH YEAH? TELL ME, DID THEY SEW UP THAT LAME ASS JACKET WITH EXTRA DOUCHEBAG?

BOTH PITCHES: OMFG GUYS CAN WE GO ALREADY?

celestialdeth

JACK AND KOZ ARE HAVING A PISSING CONTEST AND THE PITCHES ARE JUST NOT IMPRESSED OMFG YOU ASSHOLES YES WE KNOW YOU’RE MANLY AS SHIT PUT YOUR DICKS AWAY CHRIST

linddzz

*slides over* EBU!Jack would totally only start shit about rival schools FOR THE SAKE OF STARTING SHIT ABOUT RIVAL SCHOOLS. He hangs around after games and will cheerfully goad players into epic brawls and then walk away whistling. ALSO JACK IN A LEATHER JACK YES EBU!JACK WEARS SKINTIGHT JEANS AND A LEATHER JACKET also tattoo’s can we discuss tattoos. EBU!Pitch is more for dark and VERY CUT suits, all the time. Always suits. BUT HERE LEMME JUST…THROW IN MY LITTLE HEADCANON STORY IDEA FOR HOW JACK FROST, RIVAL SCHOOL SHIT-HEAD, IS INTRODUCED TO ~THE GROUP~ He is like, staying with Jack Sickle for the day because him and EBU!Pitch are having another fight (one of the few fights that didn’t just instantly lead to violent and angry sex that is) and IM SORRY I JUST LIKE IMAGINING THEM AS FREAKISHLY IDENTICAL COUSINS. AND CAN WE DISCUSS HOW THE VARIOUS PITCH’S WOULD HANDLE A JACK WHO IS WEARING SKINTIGHT JEANS AND LEATHER JACKETS AND SMILING LIKE THE MOST CHARMING LITTLE SHIT TO EVER FUCK EVERYTHING UP. HE WILL HIT ON ALL THE THINGS. HE WILL FUCK ALL THE SHIT UP. HE WILL WEAR THE MOST ADORABLE AND CHARMING SMILE WHILE DOING IT. AND HE WILL LOOK JUST. LIKE. JACK SICKLE. HE IS. THE ANTI-JACK

puppetmaster55

Everyone’s brain snaps at exactly the same moment, because EBU!Jack is staring at all of them like a lion does a gazelle before turning to his identical cousin all IF YOU AREN’T DOING ALL OF THEM I WILL BE DISAPPOINT.

And that’s when he starts getting all innuendo-y talking about showing his sweet little cousin The Way (of the Power Bottom) when Proto smiles

somewhere in the far distance, EBU!Pitch’s Jack-senses begin tingling

and Proto moves to start talking The Way, and generally get his creep on with the stunning anti-Jack, only for the front door to near-literally explode open. Standing in the doorway is EBU!Pitch with AngryFace on. He literally stalks up to His Jack, snatching the kid up before turning AngryFace to the rest of the room, literally hissing at them.

There’s a snarl of MYJACK and the two vanish

Later in the night, when their collective brain starts working again, all of the NDU boys have only one thing on their minds

that somehow, someway, they will learn the secrets hidden behind the Anti-Jack

Some Photoshop Tips

I’ve been getting quite a few asks about the process for the patterns in my stylized artworks, so I decided to put together a couple of tips regarding them.

Firstly, what you need are

— CUSTOM BRUSHES —

Most of the patterns I use are custom brushes I made, such as those:

For the longest time I was convinced making brushes must be super extra complicated. I was super extra wrong. All you need to start is a transparent canvas (2500px x 2500px max):

This will be your brush tip. When you’re satisfied how it looks, click Ctrl+A to select the whole canvas and go to ‘define brush preset’ under the edit menu

You will be asked to name your new glorious creation. Choose something that describes it well, so you can easily find it between all the ‘asfsfgdgd’ brushes you’ve created to be only used once

This is it. Look at it, you have just created a photoshop brush. First time i did I felt like I was cheated my whole life. IT’S SO EASY WHY HASN’T ANYONE TOLD ME

Time to edit the Good Boi to be more random, so it can be used as a Cool Fancy Pattern. Go into brush settings and change whatever you’d like. Here’s a list of what I do for patterns:

- under Shape Dynamics, I increase Size Jitter and Angle jitter by 5%-15%

- under Brush Tip Shape, I increase spacing by a shitload. Sometimes it’s like 150%, the point is to get the initial brush tip we painted to be visible.

- If I want it to look random and noisy, I enable the Dual Brush option, which acts like another brush was put on top of the one we’ve created. You can adjust all of the Dual Brush options (Size, Spacing, Scatter, Count) as you wish to get a very nice random brush to smear on your backgrounds

The result is as above. You can follow the same steps to create whatever brush you need: evenly spaced dots that look like you painted them by hand, geometric pattern to fill the background, a line of perfectly drawn XDs and so on.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE

— PATHS —

But what if you want to get lots of circles made of tiny dots? Or you need rows of triangles for your cool background? Photoshop can do all of that for you, thanks to the magic of paths.

Typically, paths window can be found right next to Layers:

Draw whatever path you want, the Shape Tool has quite a bit of options. Remember, paths are completely different from brush strokes and they won’t show up in the navigator. To move a path around, click A to enable path selection tool. You can use Ctrl+T to transform it, and if you move a path while pressing Alt it will be duplicated.

Now, pick a brush you wish really was in place of that path you’ve drawn and go to layers, then choose the layer you want it to be drawn on. Then, click this tiny circle under the Paths window:

Then witness the magic of photoshop doing the drawing for you while you wonder how tf have you managed to forget about this option for the past 2 years

You can combine special brushes and paths for all sorts of cool effects. I mostly use them in backgrounds for my cards, but you can do whatever you want with them.

I hope that answers the questions for all of the people who were sending me inquires about the patterns. If you have any questions regarding this or any other Photoshop matter feel free to message me, I’m always up for complaining about how great and terrible Photoshop is C’:
