After you follow these adjustments, his face will look like this!

Which is pretty cute! To go further, you will have to fill in his eyes with facepaint, something like this:

-Yugi is able to do blinking expressions just fine, but be warned that his shocked face is kind of scary lol. To me, it is a small price to pay for such a yugi-faced yugi the rest of the time.

COULD you just draw in the eye outline like this without fiddling with the eyelashes and stuff? Yes. But i like to try using the mii face pieces as much as possible. Anything built with the mii eyes will disappear when expressing, so you can use that to your advantage to try avoiding The scary face...

-His mii hair is one solid color, with the shortest bangs option. Any two-tone gradients will interfere with the illusion that makes the top hair spike appear taller than what the face-paint box allows you to draw.

The illusion of that middle hair spike is key. Draw the black as high as it can fit, but make sure it still ends in a point. I put a bit of the red/pink around it to make sure it still looks like part of his hair at different angles.

-I think placing a highlight along the top edge of each hair spike (minus the middle) helps blend it with the mii style of hair. Use either the outline tool or lock transparency (or both) to do this.

-You are, of course, on your own for the bangs. Placing a bit of skin-tone shadow under them adds depth. Don’t be scared to draw hair against his jawline.

The right side has a fake, drawn-in ear to create the illusion of his hair behind his head, which helps give it its volume. There’s a little hole at the earlobe to catch real shadows in certain light, which adds juust a little more pop.

Good luck if you make this Yugi! I think he is super cute! ♡

Yami Yugi

-For Yami, I just copied the Yugi mii and made everything black 👍 If you’re not making Yugi, just draw the same hair shape without all the extra details. Way easier! A couple more wisps up top for his extra bangs would be good too.

-He has no eyes, they’re entirely drawn in glowing facepaint, but I did adjust his mouth/eyebrows to be a little more Yami-oriented since you can faintly see his facial features in certain lights, which I think is neat!

(Illuminated face paint option is in the smiley face button next to the preview)

-The dark shadows under his bangs and eyes really bring out that devious Yami Bakura charm

-For the hair, my best advice is to just not fight the fact that he is a mii, I guess? Envision his bangs as simple cel-shaded polygons, like the rest. If you picked the same mii bangs as me, you can’t draw over them, but you can sneak some hard shadows under a few key areas.

-Again, adding the top outline helps blend with the mii hair, especially with his wings against the white. Outline tool + Lock transparency to draw along that top edge.

-I put a light grey two-tone gradient in his hair for some extra color (lavender or blue would look good too) and I extended this gradient to his bangs by using the Layered pen tool, and building up shade with strokes of the darker and lighter color over and over.

If you just wanted to cel shade these parts of the bangs, like I did with the wings, I think that would look just as good.

Do kids today even understand why podcasts are called podcasts?

Well, you see, kids, almost twenty years ago Apple produced a portable audio player called – wait, I need to go back further.

Okay, so in the 20th century, the new inventions of radio and television were known as broadcast media – no, wait, that’s not really the start either –

Broadcasting originally refers to throwing, or casting, handfuls of seeds onto prepared ground, typically used with grain crops, which, uh –

that muppet post reminded me, most if not all of the main muppets have twitter pages. Fav has gotta be Miss Piggys, which is filled with selfies and vaguely uplifting text thats also egocentric. all the comments are people complimenting her and being like “YAS QUEEN”

Close second is Gonzos. Which is just…unhinged

sometimes i think about the history of coffee culture in islam and how it spread like it’s so funny

discovered by sufis who decided it was a miracle from Allah since it allowed them to stay up late into the night for night worship

miracle beans = UNLIMITED DHIKR

cue scholars debating for years about whether it’s haram or halal and if it should be classified as an ‘intoxicant’ or not

fast forward to 16th century ottoman empire, where a woman had the legal right to divorce her husband if he failed to provide her with enough coffee

europeans called it the “mohammaden gruel” or “devil’s drink” bc they believed it to be a “bitter invention of satan and his followers”

fast forward to pope clement viii finally giving in and tasting it to see what the hype is about and then stating: “This Satan’s drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it.”

pope clement viii then proceeds to BAPTIZE THE COFFEE BEANS

the tags on this post are some of the funniest i’ve ever seen in my notifications but this one made me choke on my Mohammedan Gruel

GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE

needle/pin sharpener.

no really, squeeze it. Does it feel like it’s got sand in it? is’s sharpening sand. Stab the tip of your needle into it back and forth and it’ll help put a sharp edge back on a pin or needle that’s been blunted by use, or has a little bit of rust on it. It can’t fix anything worse then a little of either, and won’t work on something REALLY blunted, but its a lifesaver.

anais-ninja-bitch

also it is a pepper

vinceaddams

It's not a pepper and it's not for sharpening!!

It may seem like it should be a pepper, since that would go better with the flavour of a tomato (and the mass produced modern ones are admittedly more pepper shaped), but it is and has always been a strawberry. Here are some antique emery strawberries, which are much more strawberry shaped, and some of them have seeds.

(source)

(Home Needlework Magazine, 1899)

And it's for cleaning needles, not sharpening them. I can't imagine how jamming a blunt needle point around in a bunch of loose grit could possibly sharpen it in any significant way, and all the historical sources I've seen only talk about cleaning.

"Every sewer's work basket or work box should contain an emery bag, as shown in Fig. 2, through which to push a needle when it becomes rough, squeaks, or sticks in the material. An emery bag is usually shaped like a strawberry and consists of a rough denim bag filled with emery powder, which is a very hard material used for polishing metals. Such a bag may be purchased for 5 or 10 cents in any store that sells sewing materials. Needles often become rusted from the perspiration of the hands or from being left in damp places. The beginner may use a small emery bag to remove rust; or, a small piece of emery paper may be used instead."

-Woman's Institute Reference Library, 1916.

"Use an emery whenever your needle does not slip through the cloth easily."

-The Improvement of Educational Administration in Massachusetts, 1916.

"An emery bag is inexpensive and is useful to keep needles polished and smooth. If the hands perspire and it is difficult to push the needle through the cloth, running the needle through the emery will relieve the condition."

-Boys' and Girls' Clothing Club, 1915.

"It was very hot to sit and sew. The needle would get sticky in spite of all the little emery strawberry could give it, and Beth's fingers had never felt so clumsy and uncomfortable."

-The Unitarian Register, 1908.

"She polished her needles to nothing, pushing them in and out of the emery strawberry, but they always squeaked."

-Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, 1910.

This patent from 1873 mentions an emery slab for sharpening pins, which is quite different from a cushion, and which sounds like it actually would work for sharpening.

"C is a slab of emery or other sharp and fine grit, for sharpening needles or pins"

Then later down the page it also says

"E is an emery cushion, secured in the body of the holder A, and is used for polishing needles and keeping them smooth."

So. Strawberry for cleaning. Not pepper for sharpening.

Gentle reminder - modern sewing tools are made from treated or plated metal, or stainless steel. In terms of human civilisation, this is a wild advance of technology. Needles are some of our oldest tools; rust was formerly ubiquitous, and attacked every form of everyday metal. A rusty needle tears fabric, or worse, stains it. The luxury and technology of rustproof needles and pins - forgotten in a few generations of human memory - and yet it is remembered in the strawberry. Memory is stored in the strawberry!

apparently my boss who is a professor at my school doesn’t have a cell phone and his coworkers were upset by this so they bought him a childs toy phone and labeled it “David’s jitterbug” (for those of you that don’t know jitterbugs are phones made for old people that have like massive buttons and shit) so the other day I walked into his office to ask him a question and he pressed a button on it which made it start loudly playing the ABCs and he said “excuse me I have to take this” and then started singing along to the ABCs while shooing me out of his office

this is the phone. he apparently was in the middle of a meeting with the department the other day and got annoyed so he pressed a button, said “I have to take this” and left
