TUMBLR, JAN 23. 9:00pm

This is Ginnyking reporting in on the 2023 Yaoi Election. The Final Round is underway and what a round it has been. Sekaiichi Hatsukoi traded the lead last night, ending with Margels taking a dominating lead in this morning. Margels supporters were in good spirits throughout the day until about and hour ago, when votes started pouring in for Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, firmly placing it in the lead.

The votes were the product of the actions of Tumblr user Sarah @sekaiichis who stands as the de facto leader of the SIH camp. She coordinated with the owner of this Facebook page, which has 46k followers, to have the poll posted on the page. As soon as that happened, votes started pouring in, allowing SIH to easy take the lead.

I sat down with sekaiichis for a brief interview. Sekaiichi was a supporter of SIH during the 2022 Yaoi Election. According to her, last time the Sekaiichi Hatsukoi camp, "were too late in noticing the poll in the tags [during the 2022 Yaoi election] so we ended up focusing our efforts on getting junjou to the top bc they're in the same universe"

Sekaiichis intentionally wanted for the final fight to be between Margels and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, since Margels were the ones to knock the series out in during the last election. She specifically asked for friend to "throw votes in Margels direction".

As for the idea to post the poll to the Facebook group? That was all on her, "I was going through all my discord DMs asking people to vote when I came upon [the DM between me and the owner of the Facebook page], I realized I could definitely ask her for help." And so she did. And the owner of the page was more than happy to agree.

As it stands, this move may be the one that wins Sekaiichi the election. The lead it has over Margels is staggering and unless the Margels camp can come up with a big source of votes of their own, they are doomed to lose.

If you would like to vote, you may do so here.

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 :)

[gayvampyr]

thanks this is super helpful! /gen

If you'd like 2 Print books that I absolutely reccomend to every visual artist regardless of Media, Color and Light and Imaginative Realism by James Gurney are basically religious texts for artists, even the 3-D people because his understanding and explanation of how light and form work is that damn good.

If you're wondering about Mr. Gurney's chops:

James Gurney is the Dinotopia Guy (that link includes his Dinotopia books, prints and online classes too)

Done done~ Junjou Romantica Collab menu cafe~ Usagi X Misaki~

Which pairing(s) from Sekakoi @ Junjou do you guys wanted me to draw for cafe collab menu cafe?  I’ve done Kiriyoko but I’m willing to do more of these two mofos.*cough

dreamed that kindergarten nap was called sleep class and everybody went to sleep including the teacher. if you were awake it would get a little bit foggy outside and grey and cloudy, and these guys would start approaching the classroom from behind the tree line (forgive my shitty phone drawing)

and they were at least a story tall, some of them were taller, you could see their legs over the trees. they would approach very slowly. this one (the one i drew) had a name for some reason, his name is kick.

before i was totally awake my brain conjured a meme of a bunch of these guys approaching from the treeline and a child watching from the window with the caption “when you the only one awake in sleep class 😂😳😏”

this comment is such a terrifying glimpse of the reach of this post into internet zones beyond my perception, thank you

[fuukonomiko]

REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.

Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.

[omegaverse]

what about the snake

Listen to me - this is what youre gonna do.

First youre gonna scroll down to the yaoi poll. I dont care if you gotta see the worst posts in the world to get there, you're just gonna do it. Then, you're gonna vote for dramatical murder. Do not look it up - i repeat, DO NOT look it up, understand? Just turn off your brain and vote. Then you're gonna want to get you a VPN and vote for it again. After that, you close your little tab or whatever and get on with your life. Maybe make a little text post about #dmmdsweep, but whatever you do, do NOT vote for junjou romantica.

[omegaverse]

You guys failed mike btw. He's crying

BREAKING: JUNJOU ROMANTICA WINS THE YAOI ELECTIONS FINALE

TUMBLR Sep. 17 12:00 am

This is Ginnyking reporting on the results of the Yaoi Elections Finale. Junjou Romantica dominated over DRAMAtical Murder in the uneventful final hour.

Ari, the creator of the poll- who has hit post limit and cannot speak for himself- wished to say, "DRAMAtical Murder. What can I say? We’ve been through much together since I first met you at the age of 12. I haven’t been the same since then, I’m glad to have met you and the joys that you have given in the character of Clear. May you have gay sex until you die. Goodbye."

Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll.

This concludes Gay Network News' reporting for the evening.

[nutton-of-tata]

We fought hard, and we had many near death experiences. Thank you to those who made these polls because this truly united our fandom and I’ve never seen this many people have so much fun.

You did us good.
