BLACK LUCK

i'm ria and i kinda just do whatever

[xekstrin]

this is Hourou Musuko, an anime/manga about a young trans girl and her friends, all figuring out their gender identity and sexual orientations

[xatadaar]

yo yo i just double-checked and it is a real thing and also available on crunchyroll for free!

[anarcholesbianism]

It’s also on KissAnime for free which is a website I recommend 1000 times more since they provide HQ anime without having to pay anything, and they have a wider selection than Crunchyroll

I watched the first episode. I can’t vouch for the rest of it but the first episode made my heart swell a bit. A lot of it is about finding those people that you can make your guides and role models, and that’s not something I feel like we get to see a lot, we see the kids just left to forge through on their own in the big and scary. Wavedash why did you do this to me.

The anime seems to grab just a slice of the full manga’s story (obviously) but despite Horou Musuko being one of my favorite manga of all time, I never did finish the anime.  I didn’t think it was all that interesting an adaptation, and it’s so good as a comic.

The Horou Musuko manga is not only good, it’s really important.  It follow a transgendered girl and a transgendered boy and it follows them encountering and stuggling with:

dysphoria

trans* objectification

the intersection of gender identity and sexuality

passing

puberty

what adult life will be like as a trans person

experimenting with (“trying on”) gender signifiers

evolving identities

binary questioning

being a partner to a trans person

All while mired in Japanese society and expectations.

Luckily for EVERYONE, Fantagraphics press is translating and publishing the comic is BEAUTIFUL hardbound volumes.

But if you don’t have the money, I know you can easily find scanlations online, which are translated all the way to the end (Fantagraphics is about half way.)

That comic about trans youth you were always looking for?

Here it is.

I watched the anime and i felt it was a little short on the topics it touched but then again, anime tends to simply everything but it’s still  a beautiful anime to watch.I will read the manga , ive heard is much much richer and deeper than the anime. Also the anime is free on Kissanime.ru with eng subs

apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist

it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile

here’s an example:

normal size

2x in paint

2x in waifu2x

so like, there’s that. go wild

Waifu2x scaled:

It’s legit!! Tell your friends!

[information-hunter-sky]

waifu2x-multi is the newer version. It allows for rescaling multiple pictures at a time and to scale them up to 10x the original size. 

[frauleinpflaume-deactivated2020]

For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me - there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.

It’s got an almost endless range of furniture, doors, windows, stairs etc and is easy to use. In addition to that, you don’t have to install anything and if you create an account (which is free) you can save and return to your houses.

Examples (all done by me):

Here’s an example for how you can use it

Oh, sure. You can turn into a car, but if I want nice things suddenly it’s immoral to bend the fabric of human consciousness to satisfy my egoistic materialism.

[sokumotanaka-deactivated2018121]

Okay but turning into a car is for the entire teams benefit that does not =/= “Oh you can do that but I can’t have nice shoes?”

[nemirutami]

Don’t let him fool you.

I’ve seen his heart, it’s filled with distorted desires.
