Homeless Family Needs Help With Summer Plan

So due to the setback near the start of the year with our van breaking down we have been playing catch up since, especially as we had a lot of health scares at the same time, but we now after a lot of emotionally & mentally draining conversations have come up with our summer plan, aka our next big attempt to try to get settled somewhere & housed again (so we can have better work & school opportunities & fix our health up, physical & mental).

We have identified a very good location for the steps we feel are the best to take, and while we have no guarantees, it feels like our best bet! Especially as spaces we could live in have been getting more and more hostile.

And to get this plan rolling, we need some help, as I mentioned we have been falling behind a lot, so a lot of needz have stacked up, but if we can clear them we can focus on fixing the underlying issues we have, so our needs are as follows:

Internet Bill: 445$

Remaining Storage Bill: 25$

Van Maintenance: 110$

Gas to the New Location: 60$

Living Requirements (I.E food, water, gas for day to day, etc necessites): On-Going, roughly 60 - 100 due to inflation, especially on gas & single serve food since we don't have room to store large packs of things, usually in donation posts I include this as a part of them, since we can't put bills above our lives, so we have to have enough for a few days before my mom is willing to use the money for things other than preserving our lives, in this case I am adding a base 310$ (to also help the total be a round number) which should cover roughly 3 to 6 days depending on needs, but remember that this is a need that's on-going

Literally anything helps, including shares! A lot of my immediate friends have already given what they can, so I need this to reach far, to compassionate people who are in a place to help!

A big issue with online queer discourse is you never know what queer level your opponent is. You could be arguing about he/him lesbians with someone who thinks men can’t be bisexual

Old God Zaahen - The Undying Phoenix

In the days the gods were worshipped the Phoenix was a favorite of those living in the shadows of the priests and witches in service but when the sun was aten and he was slayed his legacy was mostly forgotten, with the odd historian with the hope that maybe one day the Phoenix's flame could grow strong as a sun.

"Tutorial" on how to "draw" a blind OC.

My kofi

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general. Links below so that you can research and do a nuance. Ones that were directly mentioned are bolded.

Writing a blind character 101 What to avoid etc Video on types of white canes Video on types of cane tips Some more explanation on white canes + tips + other stuff Guide animals Video on working with a guide dog ↑ if you're doing a non-dog non-horse animal please still perceive those two links. A guide animal is not a GPS that tells you "left" or "right" (in fact, you're the one telling it which direction you want to go). So before giving them something weird check if it actually makes sense. You can make a fantasy animal that still makes sense I promise 🦮👍 But why are Magical White Eyes a problem Same as above Going blind from an accident Video on conformers World's most basic "what do you call someone with albinism" The blindfold thing. No people don't wear these. This mostly stupid trope of covering a blind character's eyes because lord forbid someone sees a disabled body part This just stupid trope of giving a blind character some bs superpower to "see" The echolocation thing that every other blind oc does for some reason Just give them a cane good lord if you want a character that can see perfectly then maybe don't make them blind Bonus: if your character has a bunch of scars or whatever else then congrats! You made a character with a facial difference. Which is also something you should research.

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 💪

My good friends this is called using a

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.
