I draw fluffy, shippy, cute art. I write fanfic too! Kawaii pastel vibes are my jam. Interested in Yuri, Sanrio, She-Ra, SAO, Infinity Nikki, Pokemon Sun and Moon and much more!
Currently a student in the healthcare field!
a set of drawings of Luz, showing her path in Stagnant Light through to For Your Sake!
Individual images + lore below!
Concealed
this image depicts Luz more-or-less how she's been presenting from Belos' defeat, up until the events of Stagnant Light!
as 'Concealed' implies, this is her appearance under the effects of the concealment stone, looking happy and healthy and, mysteriously, not having aged a day...
as if to regress and 'go back' to simpler times, the stone has given her a barely altered version of her S1 haircut, which Luz herself paired with clothes similar to the outfit she wore for the majority of the show, wearing purple and whites matched with blue shorts and black leggings
Shattered
this depicts her immediately after the events of Chapter 7 of Stagnant Light, her bloodied hand bandaged after her breakdown.
with the concealment stone gone, many details (besides another sudden inch of height) about her come to light! like her lengthened neglected hair, the crackling scars from being disintegrated and put back together, her eyebrow split, and a gray eye from nearly being petrified by Belos.
not visible are scars on her torso, following the shape of the rib bone adornments and the glowing chest emblem from her Titan form!
Healed
this image depicts Luz how she appears in For Your Sake, and the beginning of Growing Pains!
(new fic namedrop yeooo!!)
she is much happier, having learned to look after herself and accept her scars as part of her! with the help of healers, physicians, and therapists of course
inspired by the resurgence of the culture on the Isles a full year on from Belos' death, Luz still wears an outfit vaguely reminiscent of her debut outfit, but with a uniquely Demon Realm twist in the form of a purple tunic adorned in white patterns and decorations
oh, and black compression gloves and binder (not visible) to ease her chronic pains and help her get back in the groove of rebuilding the isles!
Make art, fics, meta posts, edits or whatever fanworks you want themed around each season to help us celebrate Dreamwork's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018) before it leaves Netflix!
Here's the schedule...
Season One: Jan 18-24
Season Two: Jan 25 - 31
Season Three: Feb 1 - 7
Season Four: Feb 8 - 14
Season Five: Feb 15 - 21
Hosted by the SPOP Creative Flex Discord, but anyone can participate!
(And if you tag @spopfandomevents in what you post on Tumblr, we'll share it!)
Full event text from head mod, Boofadora:
It's simple! Each season will be its own prompt, and everyone who wishes to participate can create their own piece to express their love for the show. In the five weeks before the show is removed from Netflix, we will post our pieces onto social media under the hashtag #ThankYouSheRa. No formal sign ups; just hop aboard and create!
Absolutely any medium is allowed for this event: writing, digital/traditional art, AMVs, edits, songs—you name it! Make an episode poster, write or draw a "What If" scenario, make that dramatic edit that's been sitting in your head forever! These are just a few ideas you can run with!
I understand the short time period might be a bit overwhelming, so if you cannot make anything in that timeframe or you simply don't consider yourself on the creative side, post a message expressing your connection to the show. Talk about your favorite episode, scene, character(s), or simply what the show means to you. You can even thank ND Stevenson and the crew directly for creating the show! They very much deserve it.
This event is open to everyone in the fandom!
If there are any questions about this event, you can reach out to spopflex on Bluesky or Twitter.
i'd like to add that the shadow color isnt necessarily dictated entirely by the primary light source, but the bounce light! so for the example of a sunny environment, the reason the shadows are blue are because of the light from the blue sky reflects across the environment; but, if the character were to be under tree cover, the bounce light would be coming from the leaves and thus the shadow would look greener.
James Gurney is an absolute master and gives really good clarity on colour techniques. Yes, it is traditional paint focused, but the principles are the same. Yes it is informed by the environmental colour but as a painting technique it is achieved this way!
I would also suggest that in digital processing, rather than apply a regular colour layer at a mid opacity, try out the different types of layers, Eg. Screen or Multiply. This can give you at least a starting point to help direct your colour palette.
Layer Blend Modes are so so so important to working in digital art. There's a ton of math that goes into figuring out how the layers should blend together, which is why some of the modes you can pick are literally called Multiply, Add, Divide, and Difference (that's subtraction). The graphics software takes the color values of your base and blend layers and runs a calculation to get your resulting layer appearance. The ones that don't have specifically mathematical sounding names are still doing calculations, but they're more complicated (think linear Algebra and higher). Some of them, like dodge and burn, are named for actual photo editing techniques.
While it's not super important to know about the mathematical side of blend modes, I think it's worth knowing at least enough about how each of the categories of blend modes works and why they do what they do; if for no other reason than having a starting point when you start experimenting with them in your work.
An overview of the basic blend modes and how they work from Genevieve's Design Studio: Accessible with minimal color knowledge; practical and illustration focused. https://youtu.be/kMc87hQrJd0?si=TWCB365pKSfWS8p0. (16 minutes) This creator also has a ton of free resources you can download, including a Blend Modes cheatsheet, but fair warning: you have to create an account to get them!
Want to learn even more about the math-y stuff? It has great film visuals! A video from FilmmakerIQ: You need some basic knowledge of RGB color models, understanding of values/luma, and at least a tenuous understanding of Algebraic formulas.
