Help Nabeel & Naya buy Food💔🍉 !

please Donate here My name is Mahmoud, I’m 30 years old, and a father of two kids Nabeel, who’s 2, and Naya, who’s only 5 I’m a nurse in Gaza. I created this Tumblr to ask for help—because right now, my family and I need it more than ever.

Every day, I wake up to the sounds of explosions and the constant fear of losing my family. I work at a hospital with barely any resources, and we’re overwhelmed with patients. The situation is getting worse, and I feel like I’m failing my people. please Donate here please Donate here please Donate here

My name is Mahmoud. I’m 30 years old, and I’m a nurse in Gaza.

At home, it’s just as bad. My wife, Salma, tries to keep things together for our kids—Nabeel, who’s 2, and Naya, who’s only 5 months old. But the fear is overwhelming. Nabeel asks why the sky is so loud, and Naya doesn’t even know a world without sirens and shaking walls.

I’m asking for a way to get them out of Gaza. I can’t keep them safe here anymore. They deserve a chance at life—a chance to grow up without fear.

Please, if you can help, share this. If you know of any way to help us escape, I would be forever grateful. My family’s future depends on it.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring.

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

gayvampyr

“red and green are opposites 🥰” cool now how do i paint a tree with pinks and blues without it looking like a child’s finger painting or incongruous blobs of rainbow vomit

gayvampyr

ok i can’t explain it very well but im looking for tips and techniques for rendering art like

with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing

is it too much to ask

moreclaypigeons

gonna drop some sources I have saved on Pinterest! I don't know if these all link back to the original sources so apologies for that

cohesive but still contrasting

This kind of talks about color and composition

This is a bit about landscape specifically

Values & composition

Contrast in composition

Balance in colors & values

This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones

Cohesion within compositions/lighting

"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!

This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!

Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process

With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)

thank you so much for the support over the last three days! i got over 10k hits on the website!!!

i wish i could upload faster/more often but i have been busy & tired. i did make a number of small updates today though! including links to VPN leak checks, where to find roms and emulators, more torrenting sites, and a small dictionary section that has VERY SIMPLE definitions of some words that i used.

nintendo is taking down the 3ds and wii u eshops next year

and they had this lovingly made totally not taunting message to leave about their virtual console legacy they’re destroying

(that they’ve, fun fact, taken down from their site now :])

cavern-of-remembrance-deactivat

this pisses me off so much because nintendo is AWARE we want their legacy of games put on their best selling system (literally, outside of the combined sales of every nintendo DS, lite, DSi, and XL, and the GB and GBC’s combined sales, the switch is at the top)

and yet they still do not care. it’s not about them not having this content either because 1 the wii u vc and 3ds vc. exist. and 2, even for stuff that isnt on the virtual console yet, we’ve been given internal proof from previous big nintendo leaks (namely the gigaleak) that nintendo does not mess around when it comes to keeping backups of their older content. its not a lack of money either, nintendo is literally one of the richest companies in japan. it’s just. a lack of caring

cavern-of-remembrance-deactivat

last thing im gonna say about this is that the 3DS and Wii U both have excellent, actively updated guides for softmodding them to run homebrew. the Wii and DSi do as well!

on top of that the emulation general wiki is an amazing resource for emulators for pretty much every generation of game system, including emulators for non game systems like arcade hardware, PCs, and mobile phones, along with emulators on game systems! so check the wiki out if you’re interested!

susurrationofthewind

And if/when you do softmod your 3DS, gosh, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a site that safely and reliably hosted games for it, where you could even download them directly to your 3DS through a QR code?

so a while back I made a “how-to” for how I render gold for shits-n-gigs. Recently, I had to reference this myself because I straight up FORGOT how I paint gold in the middle of working on a commission.

Figured it would be fun to share, if yall want to know my gold painting secrets (spoiler, im very lazy and just want the fastest and dirtiest way to get something done. and for me, this is it)

Here is my no-fail, 10 step (it sounds like a lot, i swear its not) method:

1) Draw thing

2) Ink thing. When inking I draw big “I” shaped black chunks on metal stuff. Usually I’ll put one thick and one thin next to each other. If I’m being especially lazy, I will literally just draw a black scribble in a vauge I-ish shape.

3) Flat color block. I usually go for a mid-tone yellow-ish color. Not super saturated.

4) Shading. Use a more saturated color several shades darker. I focus the shading around where I inked those black “I” shapes. I wrote to be mindful of a light source, and this is what you should do. But I’ll be honest, I usually just shade around the edges.

5) LIGHT. Use a bright saturated yellow color. I usually pick one and then color adjust as necessary once it’s blocked in. Catch the rims/edges of objects. I usually use more of those double “I” shapes in the middle.

6) SPECIAL EFFECTS BAYBEEE. Douplicate highlight layer. Set it to “Add.” Use gaussian blue until it glows to your liking. Adjust opacity as you like.

7) ONE MO ‘GAIN. Repeat step 6. Set to “Color Dodge.” Adjust hue/opacity as you like.

8) Futz around till you like it. I like to add more color dodge above the ink layer to brighten some spots. This is optional.

9) Corrections. Assuming you’re working on a non-white background, those Add and Dodge layers will show over the edges of your lineart. This is where I take a soft airbrush eraser and remove what I dont like.

10) Final futzing. Sometimes I’ll add a dark blue Overlay layer to reduce saturation and increase contrast. Added some “shinies.” To do this draw some thin cross-shaped lines that taper at the ends. Duplicate layer. Change layer mode to “Add.” Use Motion Blur in the same direction as the cross long-ways.

AND YER DONE CONGRATS. Are there better ways? Eehhhh probably. Do I use them? Nah. This is what works for me and my work-flow, so feel free to try it out if you want! ✨✨✨

lord0f

A year later and I feel I should note this works for silver and other metallics as well!! Just change your colors accordingly! (For silver things I usually use desaturated blue-greys, and not straight zero saturation grey.)

Heres an example of this exact technique used for both gold and silver aide by side!

How to Move Your Materials and Settings To A New Computer Without Crying

i wrote a guide to something i’ve had to do a few times now. i always had trouble finding a clear guide to how to do this. the keywords do not make for good searches, and a lot of what you end up with is CSP’s kind of wonky English manual or the autotranslated forums.

i hope this helps someone out! if not anyone else… at least future me, lol.
