I think pomni and caine are the type of couple who try to kiss but get their hair/accessories caught on eachother. So instead of something romantic its them trying to unhook themselves off one another while frequently going "oh my gosh-" "sorry-" "let me get that for you" "ah hold a minute-"

TADC: The Last Act is really good if you actually care about the story instead of whatever headcanons you've decided to base your whole personality around

[lemonada-fritada]

I hate this belief fandom creates that any critique against something is solely due imaginary problems that has no grounds. That anyone who DARES to say the story wasnt good means they just had stupid expectations of it, rather than the fact some people dont think the story was good or flowed well.

It’s annoying cause nearly last episode i wouldve (partially) agreed with this take. But now, that i really look back on it, this show DOES have problems. That ARENT hard to see, i spent so long whiteknighting this show i never really took a moment to realize like any property, its not perfect and will have flaws. (In this case the finale had many).

Can we for once accept sometimes, maybe people can be valid to say something wasnt all that good? Why do we need to assume that we MUST enjoy media that makes no writing mistakes? I say this cause this was the mentality i and others had in SO MANY OTHER FANDOMS.

“If a show/game/book is peak and I LIKE IT it reflects something good on me too”

And it’s so obvious to see it when lord forbid someone doesnt agree, people get so personally offended by it. They treat it as a statement on their character.

Sometimes if someone doesnt like something, maybe they can have a point. Theres good and bad things about this show and claiming either side is completely wrong is just dumb

[probablymarin]

very interesting that you think I'm talking about people with valid criticisms, and not the people that are. you know. running harassment campaigns against the TADC team and sending death threats to anyone that disagrees with them

makes me wonder where you stand on that

[lemonada-fritada]

Because you literally said the finale is good if you “actually cared for the story?” You said that point blank man. Theres no other way you can interpret lmfao

You never mentioned harrasment campaigns, never mentioned death threats, all you said was that the finale is good if youre not using headcannons to cloud your judgement.

I think i wouldve found Jax’s character so much more compelling if we saw more angst with him and the other cast. like ragatha is right there please tell me more about how he went from appreciating her kindess to growing tired of it. Pleassseeee i need a flashback to them or something. I really wish we saw more of the cast talk about like before pomni, cause they never really do as much

If I speak I will b

TADC SPOILERS

So now i know what this means and frankly im suppper dissapointed bro

All that buildup of Ragatha going “i hate you but i dont want you to hate me!” And Jax’s whole “when someone tells you youre loved and appreciated all the time it loses its meaning. It feels like she’s using you”

Allllll of that and we find out there was really nothing to their friendship originally. Like all there was pre ribbit was “i was friend with Jax, or as much of a friend you could be to jax” so Iike really nothing important outside of making ragatha stay silent of ribbit

Really a nothing burger

[puddingandp1]

okay i had make an actual evil caine. guy is basically caine if he actually WAS actively trying to hurt them

[lemonada-fritada]

What if he was evil in the sense that he makes adventure awful on purpose in an attempt to torture them, but the cast just loves it all nonetheless

[lemonada-fritada]

Off topic but holy shit that new cuptoast animation huh

Absolutely in love with how crumb draws them

[filthyfuckingcainestan]

sorry for drawing pomni in a dress lizzie killed it at the red carpet premiere.

Tadc episode 9 spoilers

Okay, in the nicest way possible. Yeah, this really was the Jax show.

There was so.. so SO much room to provide more information for say… i dont know kinger and Caine! Or ANYONE in the circus

Kaufmo, Ribbit, Ragatha, what her friendship was like with Jax ect

But instead most of what we got was essentially Jax’s gender journey. And while i love how they executed it, it doesnt hold much water in a finale of all things. Like at thing point the show focuses more on Jax than pomni.

And Pomni was another issue

“I can FIX you???” Like… the merch shirt???? Are you serious???

You know that phrase is more like a joke right?? Why would she legitimately SAY that to someone? Not even a “i can help you!” Or a “we want to be here for you!” But i can FIX you????? What????

Reading tadc crit posts that actually dissect the show are a bitch cause they point out some glaring shit i somehow missed and now its like when someone points out a face in something and now i cant unsee it

[shaylai]

Woah they're bisexual, I didn't know that!

[impactrueno]

About this: I saw the ghost bride hey arnold fanart timelapse and how were you able to know that the "blueish" colors felt right? (its right... – @impactrueno on Tumblr How do you feel about picking a color, say a deep orange in this example, and using that for a "Multiplied" layer for shading a character in, again for this example, a sunset?

i got a similar ask about this a while back and i've been working on something to better explain what i mean because i'm not too happy with that guide anymore so i'm just gonna address both here!

in my original post i talk about choosing analogous colors rather than using layer settings, but you guys are asking about multiply layers so let's talk about that since frankly they do save up a lot of time and headaches AND they can help understand color more easily so we can pick the palette from scratch next time.

right, so we have our guy.

in the sunset example, a deep orange multiply layer would look something like this:

however, in my previous guide i said that usually warm lighting means cool shadows. this isn't always the case, however, because the color of your shadows are determined by your environment and bounce lighting. shadows on their own have no color because they're just absence of light, so the color we perceive them to be is what's being projected onto the subject.

this same sunset with cool shadows would look a bit like this:

if that looks more natural even though it doesn't match the orange of the background, it's because sunsets only look orange around the area the sun is in the sky, so the color of the sky that's facing our character here would not be projecting an orange glow onto him.

while it's not a hard rule, like i said, usually warm lighting comes with cool shadows. i think it's also worth keeping in mind that reference photos can look very different from one another because of editing, exposure levels, filters, weather and time of day, etc. so also take your own outdoors observations into account. always observe colors when you go outside if ever (don't be like me)

here's another sunset example except the sunset is now behind our viewpoint and facing the character from the front. he's not fully lit up, perhaps he's standing under something where the sun light doesn't reach him directly. i used a red glow to indicate sun this time only because i think it looks cool with the teal sky:

now addressing the ask with the "pikachu in a green house" example: yes, i suppose using a multiply layer that matches the color of the environment works. after all, like i said up there, shadows will usually reflect the color of the surroundings the subject is in.

this was a lot of blabbing about colors and i didn't even touch on values which is also super important!!! but i'd like to do some studies before i talk about that to make sure i'm not talking out of my ass. hope this helps though!!

also this was originally going to be a patreon exclusive post but the more i think about it, the less i like the idea of putting educational material behind a paywall. i think this stuff should be more accessible for the people who can make use of it. so i will only put out there that if this helps you and you enjoy my content, i have my patreon and ko-fi if you can afford supporting me with a couple of bucks so i can continue making stuff like this 🫶

Dipped my toes in tiktok once and it was the worst 2 weeks of my life

[pomni-get-the-gloink]

Throwing my hat into the showtime fankid ring after diving into the Kikaider mines once again and realizing that my man Jiro AndroidKikaider has a lot of really incidental showtime idiosyncrasies, being a half blue-half red android with yellow detailing and a musical streak on a quest to learn how to be human (which doesn't go well) that kills his younger brother and also falls in love with a human woman.

So this is Jiro. He's based on a marching band member and tends to switch between playing along with the rest of the gang and conducting things with his dad, using his flute as a makeshift baton.

I want to draw more of him later.
