HEY ARTISTS!

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

Did you find this helpful? If you’re able, maybe buy me a coffee please? :D

shading colour tips

hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty

rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD. 

red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple

orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red

yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach

green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal

blue- shade with purple

purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)

pink- darker shade of red

white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??

black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol

grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)

brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red

aaaaand thats all i got lol. let me know if there is anything i should add to this list!!

Imagine someone knocking on your door and you open up to see a big present being held by a grinning Santa Yuu, with a Rudolph Reindeer Mika being all shy but then managed to say "Merry Christmas?"

WHY IS DRAWING HANDS SO FUCKING HARD

yuu headcanons!

since kagami doesn’t care abt yuu enough to give him hobbies / ‘interesting quirks’ that isn’t just stellar swordsmanship, i’d like to list off my headcanons on yuu’s hobbies as a kid / now

- yuu was never good with writing, but he was good with art. he’d draw the kids whatever the wanted growing up, and mika allowed him to paint on his back. he still does. yuu loves drawing cute, nature-esq things. he used to draw vent art and a lot of edgy, dark things, but now he has grown to draw soft, adorable portraits like him

- YUU PLAYS THE PIANO. and mika plays the violin so they make compositions together sometimes!!! or mika just loves to listen to yuu’s dramatic pieces. guren allowed yuu to take piano lessons as a kid bc he needed something else to focus on other than training

- yuu desperately wants to get into baking / cooking but fails because he can’t read well. kimizuki helps him with this.

- aside from his former pledge to eliminate the entire vampire race, he actually studied a bunch of anatomy and biology, including vampires + humans. he’s a science kind of guy, even if it might not seem like it!!!

- as a kid, he collected stuffed animals he think the hyakuya kids would like. they’re gone now, but he still has a bunch of them he keeps just in case they ever come back, or if their souls feel like playing with them in the afterlife.

- speaking of stuffed animals, YUU LOVES TEDDY BEARS!!! mika gets him teddy bears for his birthday / christmas and yuu is so grateful!! he just loves them

- yuu. is. FLEXIBLE. he can put his leg over his head, do a ballerina spin, and kick bad guys in the process.

- he meditates! he does it to keep his emotions in control and make sure the demon / seraph is completely out. especially after triggering them. he takes a moment to sit down and breathe and make sure his head is clear

- YUU LOVES TO DO HIS FRIENDS’ HAIR. he doesn’t have long enough hair to mess with it himself, but he puts mikas’ up in a man bun, braids shinoa’s, plays with mitsuba’s, and curls his fingers through his friends’ hair when he can because it’s just so nice and he likes to do it for them. he’s a people-pleaser

- i like to think yuu fidgets a lot, so he knows origami to keep him distracted! he loves to fold flowers.

thats most of his hobbies / quirks / interests but maybe one day when i come up with more i’ll add onto this… you guys can also add on if you have any headcanons for yuu!!! i’d love to hear them

Finals week [tutors.] (Shinoa Squad Edition)

Yuu, the kind and caring one: "Well, it wouldn't hurt to take a break at least once in a while, right? So one hour break is good, yes?"

Mika, the professional: "Do you get it? I will repeat how I managed to come up with that conclusion if you still don't understand."

Shinoa, the sneaky one since she's too lazy lmfao: "I heard that the answer key is hidden under sensei's desk. Wanna check it out~?"

Mitsuba, the embarrassed and tries her best (she just wants to be proud, okay?!) : "D-does my solutions... help you understand? Because I'm willing to elaborate, if you... want to."

Yoichi, the supporter: "You can do it! You can answer it, just remember my tips and techniques that I taught to you!"

Kimizuki, that one tutor who thinks everything is easy and wonders why you can't do it at all: "Basic. So damn basic that all you have to do is this, this, and this, and then find these factors. So basic."

wAITT. WAIT. WAIT. MIKA AND YUU BOTH HAVE PURPLE-HAIRED BRO FRIENDS...COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!

its not a coincidence kagami knew what he was doing. give the gays their purple-haired gay friends

if your favorite ship doesn’t boil down to ‘they’re both stupid but they help each other be less sad’ then What’s The Point
