My brother saved this document and everytime he gets angry at our neighbours for being loud he prints it to their wireless printer and you can hear the wife shout “Why the fuck would you print this AGAIN?!” to her son.

1.  If you were wondering, you can type the numbers in the works cited into google and they appear to be medical journal articles about using medical imaging to detect and diagnose a rare form of Gastritis.

2. Please enjoy the offical powerpoint presentation of this paper at an academic conference by the original author, complete with Q&A:

When I saw this cross my dash tonight, I smiled and thought “yess, the chicken chicken chicken post, I get to reblog it again and inflict it on all of the people that have followed me since last time”, and then I scrolled down more and to my utter delight there was A VIDEO, needless to say my night has been made

fantastic. i love it. i posted this after my wife said it yesterday and as i was doing it i was like "this can't be an original thought. as soon as i hit post someone's going to say 'you stole this from a tweet from 2014' and i'll say 'no, i stole it from my beautiful wife.'"

I love how your art's bright and distinct colors! They're just so eye-catching

Do you plan the colors / is there a method you use or do you just wing it??

thank you thank you so much!!!! yesss i love my colours, glad to know they're catchy!

usually i do have something set in mind, like the general colours/mood/details, it's usually easier for me to think out a picture and what i want from it including colours and then replicate it on paper (digital canvas lol). the thing is, i never know what im gonna end up with! i try lots of tweaking and colour correction and filters and etc in the process and you just never know what's gonna look best. there were times when i had colored a piece and then ended up... not using it at all and going in a completely different direction. i've been meaning to make a post about gradient maps for a while and i hope to get to it one day, it's currently one of my main instruments and they help me a lot :)

but mostly it's just. i do approximate colours and then start tweaking settings. contrast (i love playing around with contrast! more full-ish detailed pieces look better with high contrast, flat ones often look really nice with low contrast (dimmed down whites for example) and high vibrance/saturation), gradient maps (really good for going through different contrast variations (setting the gradient map layer on luminosity and just switching different maps) and basically colour variations. looking at what looks better, trying different things, etc), camera raw filters in photoshop (i also use them mostly set to luminosity/color/saturation), etc etc. i love ps filters since they do most of work for me and i just have to tweak them to my liking!

↓ one of the examples at hand: i didn't change any colours myself, it's all just those tweaks

but mostly: don't be afraid to experiment and play around and if you won't go with colours you initially planned — well, let it flow! colours are fun and there are lots of fun ways to work with them. i personally make this like, a very thorough process because i actually enjoy it a lot! and often i start with really messy and dirty colours and i just kinda have to. go through it. do the drawing part and then go off with all these things! :D

#So basically. He runs like an actual real person would over uneven ground 😂#The Hollywood Run is pretty to watch sure but also takes place on a paved surface usually#There is no way to look dignified whilst running across lumpy bumpy ground down across a hill. Unless one is an actual gazelle#thankyou Mr. Viggo for that Real Human rep (saving @jonairadreaming's excellent tags because everyone who has ever tried running down an incline over uneven, possibly shifting, ground knows you try to get down there as fast as possible with the least amount of time of foot actually touching the ground and constantly being prepared to shift your weight to keep your balance. By the time the stones actually shift from your weight you already want to be two steps away)
