saw many people doing this so here we go

ive done this before with the legacy refs as seen in this post but thought i'd do the beyond version for fun

og refs + my legacy version:

Hey tumblr! Been seeing quite a few ableist Red Leader designs recently. We should know better not to equate disability and facial differences with moral failing/evilness. Real life disabled people and people with facial differences exist. They’re not horrible people. Someone is not horrible because they are disabled and someone is not disabled because they are horrible.

[starrixle]

absolutely no hate towards crumb/cuptoast whatsoever, but ive seen a big rise of this ever since they joined the fandom. ive been a fan of crumb for years loooong before they started posting eddsworld fanart--and i still am a fan of their work. however, ive always felt iffy abt the negative implications with their red leader design.

this is not to say that my design is perfect in comparison, as i'm sure i can improve in some aspects in how i draw/portray him as well. but with the huge platform that crumb has, its been a bit of an issue to see an audience of impressionable people take inspo/directly reference their design of RL tord, then implying that "scars = evil."

the pork soda animation was visually stunning and they are a talented artist, but i wish they were a bit more mindful concerning their portrayal of RL tord.

Yeah but another thing tahts makes stuff like this hard with RL is hes just a bad guy, disability aside hes just a douche bag... as you said scars dont necessarily = evil... Tord's just not a great person by the time the RL arc comes

[starrixle]

the issue comes with equating his disability/scars to being evil. yes, disability aside, tord isn't necessarily a good person during his RL arc. that's something that doesn't need to be sugarcoated.

but when you're using his scars as direct symbolism for him being evil, then that has a very different implication. for example, some people portray the non-affected side of his face as the "good/charming side," while the scarred side of his face is the "evil/deceitful" side. there are also times where people straight up called his scars "ugly," or purposefully exaggerated the way they're drawn to make him appear more menacing. obviously, those are negative connotations that directly have to do with his scars than just him as a character.

you can acknowledge RL's flaws/portray him as antagonist without using his scars as a symbolism for *why* he's bad.

[starrixle]

So random question but how do you feel about eddmatt I know it’s a pretty popular ship and I was wondering what ur opinion on it is!

i talk abt my opinion on ships with the main 4 in this post but generally i don't mind the ship at all, i've seen some pretty cute interpretations of it. personally, especially in my own headcanon au, i see their relationship as purely platonic.

[starrixle]

watched the backrooms movie. id give it a solid 7/10

SPOILERS AND CREEPY IMAGERY UNDER THE CUT

im a big fan of clark. i wouldn't consider him a good person by all means, but after everything he's been through, i don't blame him for the way he turned out. he's a very flawed human and his fate was unfortunate, but i found myself sympathizing with him a lot.

i also like mary, but personally i wish a bit more was done with her. i didn't emotionally connect with her as much, although i understand where her trauma comes from through the flashback scenes. hopefully she'll be explored more in the next movie.

Summer is coming soon!!(*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ

[starrixle]

damn everybody wants him dead (good)

[starrixle]

how do you render/colour ur art?? love ur stuff btw^_^

tbh a lot of my process is just a whole lotta "mess around and hope it looks good" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

for coloring, i start with flat colors for the base. once i have those colors down, i select different sections and add gradients, messing around with the hue and brightness to make it pop more. usually i like to play around with color balancing and curves to increase the contrast and make it more saturated.

i recommend changing your drawing to grayscale to check the contrast. areas with lower contrast tend to blend together, so if you want certain areas to pop out or separate from each other, you can increase their contrast.

for rendering, i prefer cel shading. i have a couple of layer blending modes that i usually stick to:

- shadows: linear/color burn, multiply - highlights/lighting: linear/color dodge, screen, add - anything extra: overlay, soft/hard light

once i finish shading everything, i just add a bunch of layers with random effects/colors/blending modes and just mess around with the settings. this varies a lot depending on what mood i want for the piece

everything here is based on my preference, there is no right/wrong way of coloring or rendering. adjust based on your style :)
