005 :: GREEN with ENVY

:: hello! notice a difference? a change, maybe? to my overall blog, how'd you like it? my blog is no longer thesaintofmisery but rather saintofmisery. this isn't necessarily a big rebrand, but i also hope you noticed the change in my docs naming system! it's finally more cohesive, and i'm sure you'll see more of it soon. 🥰

and now to the doc: green with envy. it's a very natural, colorful, and scrapbook-esque three page doc. i wanted to try something new, so i went out of my comfort zone this time to provide you guys a doc that's easy to edit and modify.

big big thanks to gorgeous gorgeous doc creator @lemondaydream for teaching me a couple of things during the creation of this doc! couldn't have done it without you.

how to edit :

— go to file & make a copy.

— likes and reblogs are greatly appreciated if you decide to use the template.

— do not modify or remove the credit.

— intended for personal use only, don't distribute or call it as your own.

— message me on saintlucifer#4147 or [email protected] if you have any questions.

— you will need two images approx of your character, and six optional spaces for aesthetic images. to replace them: right click & replace image.

— all elements of the doc are editable through drawings. just double click / right click > edit to change the images inside of them.

— the doc is formatted around the text amount, so anything over than was given than the filler may change some things. however, you can move elements as you'd like to make / reduce space.

— all images are edited through photoshop, however: you can replace them with anything.

— this doc is intended for desktop / print view.

EDITING IMAGES IN GDOCS

recent updates to google docs have made it difficult to select images and replace them. i decided to share here the methods you can use to edit images on google docs:

METHOD ONE: NEXT GRAPHIC SHORTCUT (WINDOWS + macOS)

this method basically helps you pick out an individual image out of the entire doc which makes it easier to edit specific elements or recoloring an aspect of the document. i find that this helps in picking out images that are hard to grab.

WINDOWS:

right click, then select image

press "alt" + "ctrl,"

then "n" + "g" (simultaneously)

to choose the next image, press "n" + "g" again together.

macOS:

this is the same as the windows version, just without the alt key.

right click, then select image

press "ctrl" + "cmd,"

then "n" + "g" (simultaneously)

to choose the next image, press "n" + "g" again together.

in this context: "n" means next and "g" means graphic. to go back to a previous graphic, you can replace "n" with "p" for previous.

for this method, going through the images should look like this:

apologies if the GIF goes too fast! again. this is how going through the doc should look like if you go through the graphics one after the other.

METHOD TWO: SHRINKING THE BG IMAGE (WINDOWS + macOS)

this method is the easiest and the most self-explanatory. this is also useful in the case where one image takes up the entire background. this can be done in any platform.

right click, then select image,

drag the background image down (or up) until it is no longer covering the top (or bottom) of the image you want to click,

once you’re done editing, drag the image back to full size.

this should look like this:

either way, these two methods share the same purpose and can be used in conjunction with another. i decided to share these as a lot of this information was shared through DMs and asks, i decided to make a dedicated post for it so it'll be easier to refer to.

still, if it may seem confusing, do not hesitate to DM me here on tumblr or shoot me an ask and i'll answer! i hope this helps you in editing your character templates.

HIHII, thank you for following me!! your google docs are so fun and fit my taste!! cannot wait to see what you'll come up with..

also, not to be rude, but do you have any free google docs for people who aren't able to afford your templates? or are you scared of making one due to the surrounding controversies of google docs being stolen? 🫡🤞🏻

hi, arkynz!

thank you for your continuous support. i really appreciate the love you give towards my docs but unfortunately, i cannot make them free-to-use. my docs are often complex and they take a lot of hours and skill to complete. ever since i’ve started my shop, the docs i create have been a huge help towards my personal life. and even free doc creators face the issue of their works being stolen, credits erased, and being claimed as other’s.

creating free docs is extremely generous (especially for how complicated google docs can be). so i do have a list of talented doc creators that you might be interested in:

— @lennons-ghost

— @cellohum

— @docs-before-dawn

— @youngmrclaus

— @unforgivable-miracles

— @bunberiii

— @stavroguine

— @spiderlilyweb

again, thank you so much for supporting me. 🫶🏼💗 give some love to these doc creators too.
