Got myself a custom branding iron made with my logo/makers mark. Doing some test branding, I think this will add I nice detail to my guitar builds. At very least it will be more consistent than me hand painting it. I haven’t had much time to build lately, but there’s good stuff coming soon! #woodworking #woodburning #guitarproject #guitarbuilding #luthier #handmade #burnit #burnitup #artist #artisan #sounddesigner #designer https://www.instagram.com/p/CqCM6uJr8ag/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
how did u get into skz and what were the highlights of your time with them so far? also do u have a bias line? or is it just chan? also why chan?
omg ok so!!
i actually vaguely knew about them back in 2019 when around my pace came out and my friends tori and ayanna and i were like AYO THIS SLAPS??? and i added it to my spotify but i wasn’t into kpop as much at the time so i sorta forgot about them for a bit. then like. late 2020 early last year a gc i was in (which. lol) started getting into them and me like oh that’s cool! i distinctly remember them showing me chris and bambam on the survival show and them being like YOU KNOW BAMBAM EXISTS??? and me, who had liked got7 since 2015, like yeah! and me being like. ok but who is this he’s so cute 👀👀👀 and over time they showed me some content every once in a while and i was like oh they’re neat!!! the winter is coming eps and the goddamn. skz up all night videos are distinct to me. anyways it was around gods ddu du ddu du and their final kingdom performance i started to PROPERLY dig in and the day they performed wolfgang changed my fucking life. it was 6 am i hadn’t slept and i saw christopher chan bang flip in and then DO THAT WHOLE SHIRTLESS BIT and decided right then and there to buy their bubbles and stan then forever i never looked back DBWKEJWJEJNDN.
HIGHLIGHTS…..def when hyunjin came back, the release of noeasy. not to be annoying but talking to chris on video call literally changed my life bc i didn’t even enter into a raffle knowingly i just bought my scars albums and then it. it just happened i almost cried TRHEISJSJSJ. he was soooo kind like. it was only 30 seconds but he was just. ugh. so handsome and the fact that he got flustered when i said he looked nice fhejeehejjwjw and us just. chatting like two friends like i was sooooo nervous leading up and then he came up and i felt soooo at ease? the way he looked genuinely like ☹️ that we had to hang up and was like “times up ☹️☹️☹️ see you next time????” and looked rlly hopeful about it like. it lives rent free IM SORRY I DIDNT MEAN TO GO ON ABOUT THIS DHSHSBSJS HE JUST!!!! it will never leave me ive never felt so lucky 💕💕💕💕 however mostly recent highlights have been hanging out with you guys and making friends like genuinely that’s been so fucking fun and i love you guys im so bad at replying unless we talk every day sometimes and can be kinda shy but everyone is SO kind i love stayblr. i also watched the fanmeet and streamed oddinary with tori and ayanna when it came out and that was so. fucking fun idk it was v warm i love being able to share what i love with my friends and not feel bad about it dhsbshwjsj
god. ok so im a libra (chris and i are two days apart actually, two years too it’s fun to me hehehee) and have never been able to pick just one bias bc im indecisive LMAO rn i consider it chris, minho, and felix and hyunjin. minho was not originally here. in fact i used to think he was so weird and didn’t care for his vibes but over time i truly did like warm up to him esp having his bubble. i find him so endearing and the way he just. cares is so subtle and sweet and his humor dhwgejwhjwj i didnt intend to love him like this. felix was an originally top boy tho but. as i always say. if u don’t like felix that’s a red flag like he’s nothing but kindness and warmth. hyunjin was also originally higher in my line!!! his talent is soooo incredible and idk he’s just so cute and silly and passionate and romantic. idk i think we would be besties!!!
oh christopher though. truly cannot explain the love i have for that boy it’s EMBARRASSING like. idk what it is but like that dude came into my life and nothing had been the same RHWJWSHASJSJ like he’s just so. he’s just SOME GUY RIGHT. but like. in the way you’ve KNOWN a guy like that who’s v sweet and well intentioned but awkward and silly. like a dude you were friends with or went to school with. idk that’s what i love about him like he talks about songs he loves or things he did back in the day and im like “wow we would’ve gotten along so well in school like we deadass would’ve been friends and i would’ve had a massive crush on him” RHWHEEHWJEJW like. he is just so kind and FUNNY and passionate and hardworking and just. the way he loves the Kids. ugh it just pulls at my heart and he’s so talented like the way he can literally do everything. the way he’s open with his struggles is so UGH and the way he gets flustered over everything is so cute to me and how he acts cute to everyone and just. idk i want him to succeed and always have good days and all of that. also he is so handsome oh my god like. AND cute like he does both i wish he believe that he was as good looking as he actually is. anyways i love him in a normal way a normal amount.
hi! do you think you could explain how to make gifs where it's only one gif (like 540px) and you split that area and put two (268px for example) or more separate scenes in it pls? i found a way to do it myself but it's quite complicated so i was hoping there was an easier way that i didn't know about. i hope you understand what I mean, for example that one set you made with a compilation of scenes from each chan's room
hi!! of course i can 🥰💖 !! the way that i do it, is pretty simple (to me)!! so i hope this is helpful!!
A Quick Tutorial On How To Combine Gifs!
edit: this was super wordy so i ended up including a quick screen recording of how i did it as well at the very end!! i really hope this makes sense/helps- let me know if it doesn’t!! i’ll try to explain better 😅
okay, so the first thing is to just make all the gifs you know you’ll be combining! but when i’m making them, i make sure that i do NOT add a delay on the gifs! that step i do later!
every other step that you do in ps (colouring, watermarking, blur, etc) you should still do!! after you’ve made all the gifs, export them as you normally would.
then, i open all three gif files in photoshop! it should open and the timeline view of the gif is what you should be seeing! (make sure it’s not the video timeline as the transparency won’t be saved!!)
once you have all the gifs open, check how long each gif is. chances are, they won’t all be the same length. unless you plan for this properly when you’re using vapour synth (which i never do 😅) they’ll be different lengths.. if you’re lucky the discrepancy won’t be too vast where you can delete a few frames from the from and end of each clip so they’ll match up.
so for example, my first gif had 122 frames, my second one had 130 frames, and my last one had 110 frames. i’d just pick the one with the lowest count and then delete 12 frames from the first gif, and 20 frames from the second one.
another trick is to multiply and see if there is a common number between the two but this is really only useful if the gif has like below 60 frames... because these are 540px gifs and you’re combining 2 or more gifs it tends to be a lot bigger... so for example, if one gif had 30 frames and the other one had 60, i would just duplicate the first gifs frames so that it would play twice in the time the second one would play once... (idk if that makes sense but TT TT)
so moving on! once you have all the frames matched up, go to the gif you know will be the first of the set. here, go to the crop tool, and in the ratio/size of the crop, put in your dimensions. so since you want 540px gifs, you’d put 540 in the first box, and then whatever the height of your gifs are in the second.
at this point, i would also put all the layers in this gif into a folder in the layers panel, to make it easier to see!
now, going back to the LAST gif of the panel and select all the frames from the timeline bar, and the copy the frames.
going back to the first gif of the panel, go into the lined menu again, SELECT all the frames again, and this time choose “paste frame,” another dialogue box will open up that looks like this:
select the “paste over selection” option! just like before, i immediately put these into a folder (in the layers panel) and then i move the gif over to the very right side of the new big gif!
make sure you have ALL the frames selected and not just the very first one!
now, just rinse repeat with any of the remaining gifs. if you have more than 3, the next one i would put is the middle one, so that i can gage the middle and how far apart the gifs do have to be!!!
after the last gif is in, i select all the frames from the timeline and adjust the delay! i set it to whatever that specific set requires. the reason i do that step here is because sometimes ps messes up the gif if you include the delay ahead of time?? idk why but.. i find it easier to just do the delay after the fact!
now you can save your gif the way you’d save any; just export it like normal (pray its under the 10mb limit) and voila! you got a comp gif!
also, this was super wordy, so i’ll just include a quick little recording of how i do it!! i hope this made sense and wasn’t too confusing >///<!!!
Hi! I’m hoping you can help clarify somethings for me 💔
I was watching Han’s latest live and he mentioned that they had won that round on kingdom and I just started watching the performances and I’m pretty lost lol so how can you see who’s winning? How does it all work?
hello! it’s a little complicated but i’ll do my best to explain! first there’s the intro stages where the winning team based solely on global votes (skz) got an extra 1k points right off the bat. kingdom has 4 main rounds where you can earn points that count toward the final ranking. in each round, there are 4 components to the score: expert evaluation (25%), self-evaluation (25%), youtube views (10%), and global votes (40%).
each round has a different number of points up for grabs: round 1 was 10k points and round 2 was 20k points. round 3 is more complicated because it’s split into unit stages (vocal, rap, and dance) and group stages. the group stages are worth 25k points and will be scored in the same way as the previous rounds with the 4 components. the unit stages are worth 5k points each (divided equally among the groups in the winning unit) and are determined solely on the special panel votes. i don’t think we know yet how many points the final round (which will most likely be live) will be worth, but it will likely be a LOT of points to potentially shake up the rankings (i would guess 50k points) and there will also likely be a separate category of a big chunk of points for digital points of the new songs that all the groups will release for the final round
so far here are the cumulative number of points each group has based on the intro stages, round 1, and round 2:
Hi I’m a new stay and I’m still very much lost 🤔 if you don’t mind pls explain what exactly is kingdom? And who’s the member who’s going to be sad? Thank you 🤍
kingdom is this mnet competition/reality show that isn't exactly a competition but is exactly a competition. you'll get what i mean if you watch it. like people are all chill except mnet. so we have a common ground on hating mnet as a whole.
the winner of the show will get a reality show specially for the winning boy group, plus a "kingdom week" special show. and like there is no elimination.
it's kinda sad tbh because the editing and how they put out stuff can also be many of the reasons for the increasing fanwars and don't even get me started on how toxic some fans go with the streaming and all that. anyhow, innie was apparently crying and mnet zoomed in and made that the thumbnail :((
