Hi, Not Apologising, Bye.

Ok, I think that for Rediscovery I’ll make the actual chapters as finished, and add it to a series

colours? colours :) one of my friends generally wanted help on colours and i went. a little bit overboard and decided to just fully format it into a pseudo-tutorial

if it’s not clear what the first image is, basically what you do is merge all your colour layers multiple times to be shadowing and highlight layers and mess with their hue/luminosty/saturation levels, much like on the lineart colouring section. again, making it more saturated and more purple/blue for shadows and lighter for highlights.

don’t take it as gospel or anything it’s honestly just what i do to make it easier for myself due to having Joint Issues but i think it might just help people Without pain possibly do art a bit faster and/or experience less frustration? maybe??? ps. im aware this information probably won’t be new for quite a few people but there’s always going to be new people who didn’t know, so i don’t see the harm in posting this

You know, when you create a culture (or makes derivatives/dig further into other created cultures), it isn't cruel to dig into funerary practices.

You want to write a part where a member of the community dies and receives funerary practices ? Just because you want to expand further into the culture? Then go for it!

Death is a strong part of every single cultures. There are so many funerary rites, going from burials to incinerations.

So looking further into such an important part of life? That is perfectly normal to do and to want to do.

The link is real, for anyone wondering, I checked the email again. However, I don't create much art and don't sell anything on redbubble so I just went and deleted my account (since, again, I'm overall not using it) and stated what I didn't in the update as the reason.

The link is this. So yeah if you're selling on Redbubble do fill it I guess.

Not 100% sure I'm reading this right but,

Understanding how the new account fee may apply to you

Redbubble Blog

We’re introducing new artist account tiers. Here’s why this will make Redbubble a better marketplace, and how the changes will apply to you.

The tiers are intended to encourage actions that are positive for the marketplace and recognise and reward artists who invest time creating and promoting unique products.

Hum... Great, so if you wanted to have a redbubble on the side to make some money then you're basically not welcome???

How accounts are reviewed and classified

And seriously I am in tears at that like wow. Basically, if you make enough money for Redbubble, the fee is removed. Basic tiers have to pay a fee, but premium and pro don't.

There's also the "opportunity to create licensed fan art" that bugs me because, there already was a list of things you could make fan art of depending on the list they have, but now you can't unless you have a premium or pro account? While (from what I've seen at least) most small artists make fan art and sell it because they know that there is a fanbase for it and that it will sell.

I do understand the copyright problem they face, sure. But the rest still is... not good.

Over the past few years the amount of new accounts and content has increased significantly on our marketplace. This has resulted in increased costs as we’ve needed greater investment in resources to operate the marketplace and support our artist community and your customers.

So yeah, increased costs that they will make the small artists pay for and subsequently make people think twice before coming on the plateform, or just leave it.

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

HE4S WALKING TOWARD GET AWAY GOOO RUUUUUUUUN

HE HERE TO FUCJ YOU UP AN D BEAT YOU DOZN

There are fics in there that I don't fucking remember writting it's wild
