I wanna eat your art, please let me have a bite?
Awww thank you!! <3 Have a quick atsushi sketch as a thanks (please don't eat him though 😂)
@Fanfic writers:
My friend send me this link, is a series on a profile on Ao3 (tumblr) that has different tutorials to insert things to fanfics via html code, I thought I would share bc it’s really cool
Lists of tutorials:
How to make images fit in mobile browsers
This is a tutorial/live example on how to make large images fit on mobile browsers but remain normal size on desktop browsers.
How to mimic letters, fliers, and stationery without using images
This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic the look of letters, fliers, and stationery (as well as other forms of written media) without using images. For all your epistolary fic needs.
How to make a “choose your own adventure” Fic
This is a tutorial/live example on how to create a "Choose Your Own Adventure" fic. While this has been explained before (see here), this particular tutorial shows you how to use a work skin to hide the next parts from the reader until they click through to get to them.
How to make linked footnotes on Ao3
This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
How to change text on Ao3 when the cursor is hovering over it (or clicked on mobile)
This a tutorial/live example on how to have text change or appear once a cursor is hovering over it. Helpful for pop-up spoilers, language translations, quick author's notes, etc.
How to mimic author’s notes and Kudos/Comment buttons
Anonymous on tumblr: do you have a skin that would mimic the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons section from the end of a fic? the desired effect being that the fic could go on after the “end” of the fic, so after the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons
Here's a tutorial/live example to do just that, with some of the buttons actually functioning. I'll explain more inside!
How to wrap text around images
This is a tutorial/live example on how to align images to the left or right of the screen and have text wrap around them.
How to mimic email windows
This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic email windows on AO3 without the need to use images.
How to make ios text messages on Ao3
This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic iOS text messages on AO3 without the need to use images. There's also a chapter on how to have emojis displayed on AO3 as well.
How to make Customized page deviders
Bored with the default page dividers? This is a tutorial/live example on how customize your page dividers with no images needed (though I do show you how you could use images if you wanted to do such a thing).
How to make invisible text (That can be highlighted)
This is a live example how to make invisible text that can only be seen by highlighting the text. Tutorial is included in text, and you can always leave comments about questions you may have.
MOBILE USERS: Sadly, this probably won't work for you, since highlighting in a mobile browser is different than web. I've tried correcting this, but have yet to find a solution.
How to make a rounded playlist
Original coding and design is from layouttest. I make no claims for it, just tweaked it so it will work on AO3.
How to create notebook lined paper on Ao3
This is a live example of my AO3 skin that allows the author to recreate the look of lined notebook paper in their work. To learn more about it, you can find the tutorial here.
Sticky notes on Ao3 without using images
This is a live example of my AO3 skin that allows the author to recreate the look of sticky notes (aka Post-Its) in their fic. To learn more about it, you can find the tutorial here.
How to make deadpool’s thinking thinking boxes on Ao3
This is a live example of my AO3 skin that allows the author to recreate the look of Deadpool's thinking boxes in their fic. To learn more about it, you can find the tutorial here.
How to make newspaper articles on Ao3
This is a live example of my AO3 skin that allows the author to recreate the look of a newspaper article in their work. To learn more about it, you can find the tutorial here.
This is really useful and I'll always reblog it.
hello! for the artist ask game: 4, 12, 20 if you want to! <3
4. Fav character/subject that’s a bitch to draw
100% Akutagawa. I don't know what it is about his features but for the life of me I cannot draw him consistently and I can just never quite get his features to look similar to how he does in the manga. I do love drawing him, but I wish I managed to capture his looks better!
12. Easiest part of body to draw
ohh depends on the drawing, but I think torso, legs and shoulders are the easiest! also drawing faces in profile come quite easy to me!
20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy
hands! not that it's always easy but I know lots of people hate drawing them, and I'm pretty neutral on it, and most of the time I enjoy it! :)
Hi! for the artist asks, if you'd like: 2, 7, 14, 26 <3
Already answered 7 and 26, but I'll do the others :)
2. Is it easier to draw something facing left or facing right (or forward even?
personally I find it way easier to draw a character that's facing right! facing forward is also an angle I enjoy drawing!! luckily flipping the canvas horizontally means that I can draw something facing to the right and then when it's flipped they face left :D
14. Any favorite motifs?
characters and ships! <3 I also quite enjoy drawing flowers! I'm super fascinated by intricate backgrounds, but that doesn't come easy to me unfortunately!
Hello~
I hope you are well :)
No. 7 & 11 for the artist ask game?
7. A medium of art you don’t work in but appreciate
clay! Pottery and clay figurines and jewelry made from clay, I love the way every piece is unique and the 3d nature if it! Animation is another one that I love seeing but never got round to really doing myself!
11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
I listen to a lot of music while I draw! I also really like watching youtube videos, most often movie review channels, but it can be something else too, it just has to be something where I don't need to be looking at the screen all the time.
26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended? 27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with
26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended? I'm trying to remember if there ever was a piece that was interpreted very differently to what I had in mind, but I can't think of one! When I started posting art, I'm sure it happened from time to time as I was still learning how to draw expressions, body language etc! I also think a more recent example would be the drawings where the characters' faces aren't showing, because that leaves a lot of room for interpretation! But also, I don't mind if people interpret it differently to what I had in mind!
27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with?
I probably should but I don't really do any warm up exercises! but I tend to often draw several versions of a drawing before I settle on the final version, so maybe that counts?
Artists ask!
9. What are your file name conventions?
usually it's just a short description of what the drawing is about (for example the big bang comic I am working on at the moment is called bb comic)!
When I was still working mainly on my laptop + drawing tablet I also created a folder for each month, which really helped in keeping everything organized!
since I switched to a drawing tablet that doesn't connect to a laptop (I use a samsung galaxy tab 8 ultra currently) I don't have those monthly folders anymore, so everything is in one folder and that does make it all a bit more chaotic xD
Also I tend to save different stages of my drawings as separate files, so I'll end up with bb comic 1, bb comic 2, bb comic 3 and so on!
Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game
Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.

3. What ideas come from when you were little
4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
9. What are your file name conventions

12. Easiest part of body to draw
13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken

The main criminal from Yokohama and his meow meow
(on the phone screen:
for Gin: buy cat's food)
another day, another fic art for one of @solsticelosthermind's stories (I just can't help myself)
Dreamwalker is such a gem! The BEAST universe is so compelling to begin with - add to that the premise of Akutagawa having to go into Atsushi's dreams because Atsushi won't wake from them - and how beautifully Sol writes BEAST sskk - how could I not fall in love with it?
