every time i see those posts like ‘what food from a show did YOU always wanna try’ i go lol none? but i just remembered im a liar

i always wanted the fucking soup brock made in the pokemon anime

[chingaderita]

Hello OP, i don’t have anyway to prove this is the same recipe they make in the shows but i make this to calm my inner kid from wanting the fictional soup:

300gr bacon, beef or chicken. A meat of your choice. These go specially well. I prefer chicken tights. Diced

1 medium onion, diced.

Garlic minced (i used 2-4 pieces depending on size)

300gr carrot, cleaned, peeled and diced.

3 sticks of celery, washed and diced.

800gr potato. Washed, peeled diced in quarters.

1 head of broccoli.

8 cups of stock of your preference. I recommend using the bones of the beef or chicken, but veggies stock works too for a vegetarian or vegan version.

3 tablespoons all purpose flour.

1 cup whole milk. (Almond or rice milk work fine for a vegan option)

½ cup heavy cream. (Skip it for a vegan option)

Salt and black pepper to taste.

½ teaspoon paprika, use the spicy one to get the warmth up a notch in winter.

1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander. Optional.

1 cup diced gouda or manchego cheese. Optional but really ties all together.

Make sure you have all your ingredients ready and at hand for this one to make sure it comes out nice and tasty!!!

In a pot put water and the bones to prepare your stock (chicken, beef, veggie) You can use premade or bouillon cubes, just make sure its 8 cups worth of broth. In a different pot boil the potatoes until soft.

In a big pot put some butter or olive oil to fry the onion, when it turns a little transparent add the garlic, move constantly.

Add the celery and diced carrots, moving constantly.

The carrot will get a little brighter in color, add the diced meat. Salt and pepper to your taste.

Meanwhile, blend the potatoes with enough stock so your blender wont have trouble blending. If you have a food processor, it’ll be easier.

Ad the remaining stock to you big pot with the veggies and meat, add the broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Add the paprika and taste for salt and pepper. Let over a medium fire for 10 min.

Separate 3 tbsp of the stock to mix with the flour, set aside. This will be a thickening agent.

Pour the potato mix on the big pot, move to integrate and taste for salt and pepper.

Add the milk and heavy cream. Move with a laddle. Have a final taste and let over low fire for 5 min.

Serve hot and decorate with a pinch of coriander and some cubes of cheese.

ENJOY!

Notes:

I personally prefer to use chicken, love how it goes with potatoes and veggies. Also the tight is very tender and flavorful. With beef you have to be careful not to overcook it or it’ll get gummy and hard to bite, so make adjustments.

VEGAN: could also skip the meat, cheese and heavy cream for a vegan option.

I make it for my younger sister and she loves it. Instead of meat i add some diced, toasted nuts when served. Cashew, pecan and pistachios work nicely.

You’ll have to use 5 tbsp of flour to thicken up the broth a tid bit more without the heavy cream but you can still use a vegan milk.

You can totally skip the coriander, but it adds another dept of flavor.

Do try it with the cheese tho, i promise it’s GODLY. Gouda and manchego are my fave, the melt nicely and have a strong after taste, but i guess any cheese that melts could work.

Finally, if you are like me and like spicy food you can add chopped chili. Serrano and arbol chiles are my go to’s, freshly chopped sprinkled just after serving my bowl.

Hope y'all give it a try and if you have any doubts do ask!

Provecho!

[starridge]

this is literally the best addition i’ve ever gotten to any of my posts thank you so much

[kathaflatta]

Hey I tried this recipe out and I can confirm that it tastes heavenly!!

[certi-shenanigans]

Can confirm this soup is absolutely divine!

Substituted spinach for broccoli because my partner is not a fan of the latter and used chicken and bacon. Gonna try it again with a nice Italian sausage in place of the chicken next time.

[gierosajie]

so your splash arts for the nameless au ventis are gorgeous but I must ask. have you imagined an ulti cutscene for any of them OwO

Thank you!

Okay so. I tried making animatics and while I haven't really thought about what qua Venti's would be, I do have the og, Xianzhou, and both of Nameless Bard's ults

Venti:

Ode to the Forgotten

I dunno how clear it is here, but he takes off the thing on his shoulders like how it's kinda slipping off in his splash art

I also kinda went and tried to do his movement in the first part just to make sense of it and get it right sjxhdkgf

Into Oblivion

Okay this one was what really made me take so long to answer the ask because I kept trying to figure out how to like, do the angle of him falling into the dark abyss thingy. But yeah this is what I meant with "pulling his opponents into the shadow realm" in a previous post.

Kinda just realizing as I finished up is that both Ventis create a sort of domain effect like Luocha or Acheron haha

Nameless Bard:

Even if Tomorrow Dies: Drink to the Yesterday Now Gone

This is the support version of the Bard's ult where he redistributes his energy to the team if he doesn't have enough stacks

For his splash art I uh, just used the sketch and color blocking because the lineart has been fighting against me. It's been a year

Even if Tomorrow Dies: Sing for Tomorrow That Dawns

I had fun drawing the first pose here. This is the one that actually deals damage. I know I could've just edited in Himeko's ult since they're pretty similar at some point but I fear my tablet would crash on me haha

Anyway yeah

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

[jv]

And I just got confirmation from a second ex-colleague that a deal with midjourney has been brewing since months ago. Not any extra details, just that's a real thing.

Shit, I don't see any way for this to happen that doesn't make it an apocalyptic event the size of the porn ban. Fuck.

[jv]

Shit. This may be pure chance and coincidence, and it's not he is in a position to be able to talk about anything, but seeing prominent staff members announcing they are moving their original photography out of tumblr just two weeks ago seems a pretty significant cue of shit to be about to hit the fan.

[harakanvarpu]

WELL FUCK :)

It seems I cannot leave my art here either.

Tumblr, I trusted you. You fucking backstabber.

I learned about this new site today and I plan on making a page there: UnVale. It's anti-AI "art", so I have some hopes for it.

Otherwise I have instagram with the same username and I just setup bluesky but I already hate it too much like twitter ew.

[kristalsand06]

I know Cara and it is considered artists app with no AI it even work with Glaze to protect from AI I should post there more .u.;

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

[alkalinefrog]

Oh almighty art master, teach me how to draw arms please? Mine always turn out so weird and misshapen.

I'm tempted to just say that all of my art takes place in a universe where humans don't have arms and we have to use our feet for everything, but that would mean so many cursed images of toes holding pencils and I don't think I can bring myself to impart that upon this broken world.

ART MASTER y'all really be out here boosting my ego 😂❤️ this is one of two art advice asks I gotta catch up on!

I can't name any muscles or bones, but I can try to show you the rhythm I use to hack it:

For larger arms, remember that joints (shoulders, elbows, wrists) don't store fat:

For muscle-y arms, uh, idk I kinda just wing it so any how-to’s I give you would be actively harming your studies lolol

Hopefully that gives you a bit of a foundation to build off of!
