1 Layer, 1 Drawing Challenge : Danielle Phantom || millieueu

Went back to an incomplete artwork I made last year on May 10th. I was doing the “drawing on 1 layer” challenge, but it was too difficult for me to complete. I came back to finish it while doing some adjustments and I kinda like it! (Not happy with the BG though)

Second pic is what the OG drawing looked like

How to Safeguard Your Home Interiors During Flood Situations?

Floods can wreak havoc on homes, especially when it comes to interiors. Furniture, cabinets, and fixtures are often the first casualties, leading to significant damage and costly repairs. However, with thoughtful planning and the right materials, you can design interiors that are resilient to water damage. Here are expert recommendations to protect and rescue your home interiors in flood-prone areas.

1. Use 0.8 Density Boards for Inner Cabinet Sections

The inner portions of cabinets are often the most susceptible to water damage due to their porous nature. Opting for boards with a density of 0.8 ensures better resistance against swelling and warping. These boards are less likely to absorb water, maintaining their structural integrity even during prolonged exposure to moisture.

2. Protect Doors and Exposed Sides with 3-Layer WPC Color Boards

Doors and exposed cabinet sides are frequently in contact with water during floods. Using 3-layer WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) color boards offers excellent water resistance. These boards are not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that your interiors remain stylish and functional even in challenging conditions.

3. Opt for Stainless Steel 304-Grade Hardware and Accessories

Floodwater can cause regular metal fittings and accessories to corrode or rust. Investing in stainless steel hardware of 304-grade ensures long-term durability and resistance to rust, even in high-moisture environments. This type of hardware is ideal for hinges, handles, and drawer slides, offering reliability and longevity.

4. Fully Factory-Built Interiors for Precision and Sealing

Factory-built interiors are crafted under controlled conditions, ensuring precision and tight seals that can withstand water exposure. Unlike on-site installations, factory-made products are less prone to gaps and inconsistencies, providing better protection against water ingress.

5. Focus on Resilience Over Cosmetic Flaws

In flood-prone areas, it’s important to prioritize resilience over minor cosmetic imperfections like scratches or external strokes. By choosing materials and finishes designed to endure harsh conditions, you can safeguard up to 80% of your home interiors, minimizing losses during floods.

6. Use Elevated Furniture Designs

Opt for furniture with elevated designs that keep the base off the floor. Raised legs made of waterproof materials like metal or treated wood can protect your furniture from direct contact with water during floods.

7. Seal Wall and Floor Joints

Water often seeps through joints between walls and floors. Properly sealing these joints with waterproof sealants can reduce the risk of water ingress and damage to interiors.

8. Choose Water-Resistant Flooring Materials

Opt for flooring materials such as vitrified tiles, natural stone, or treated hardwood, which are more resistant to water damage. Avoid carpets or untreated wooden floors in flood-prone areas as they can absorb moisture and deteriorate quickly.

9. Install Water-Resistant Wall Cladding

Using water-resistant cladding materials like PVC panels or treated wood can protect your walls from moisture damage. These materials are easy to clean and maintain, even after exposure to floodwaters.

10. Incorporate Modular Furniture

Modular furniture, crafted with water-resistant materials, can be easily moved or lifted during flooding. These designs are not only practical but also add flexibility to your interior layout.

11. Use Waterproof Paints and Finishes

Applying waterproof paints and finishes to walls and furniture can create an additional layer of protection against water damage. These coatings can help prevent swelling, peeling, and discoloration caused by prolonged exposure to moisture.

12. Invest in Floating Shelves and Wall-Mounted Units

Floating shelves and wall-mounted cabinets keep valuables and essentials above potential flood levels. These features ensure that important items remain safe and accessible during flood situations.

13. Reinforce Baseboards and Skirting with Waterproof Materials

Floodwater often damages baseboards and skirting, leading to costly repairs. Reinforcing these areas with waterproof materials like PVC or treated wood can significantly reduce the impact of water exposure.

14. Choose Compact and Minimalist Designs

Compact and minimalist furniture designs are easier to move and protect during floods. This approach also reduces the number of items susceptible to damage, making cleanup and recovery quicker and more efficient.

15. Install Built-In Storage with Raised Bases

Built-in storage solutions, such as wardrobes and cabinets with raised bases, keep contents above flood levels. Elevated designs provide added security for stored items, minimizing damage to valuables.

Final Thoughts

Flood-resistant interiors are not just about damage control; they’re about peace of mind. By incorporating these strategies and materials into your home design, you can significantly reduce the impact of floods on your living space. Preparing for the unexpected is the key to ensuring your home remains a sanctuary, no matter the weather.

You are certainly quite cool

After having experienced the glacial progression pace of Runeterra for so long it is THRILLING to be able to 100% an entire world in Ultrakill in a single morning. It turns out that real games don't try to drip-feed you tiny bits and pieces of progress in an attempt to take as much of your time as possible!

As the flash hits your eye, you feel something crashing into you from all directions. Below you is obvious, Bonbon situated themself to bump into you while the picture was taken. You look to your right, and Mirabelle’s cheek is pressed up to yours. On your left, Isabeau’s sheepishly hugged you to his side. There’s a hand in your hair, too, and it feels like Madame Odile. [...] “We need a souvenir of this trip,” Mirabelle adds. She rushes to the ground to pick up the picture and snort-laughs as she looks at it. “Oh no, Siffrin looks like we’re holding him hostage!” — Curtain Call, Chapter 9, by @openphrase123 (Link in the replies)

2024 October 22nd

Fanfic fanart fanfic fanart!! When I read the "hostage" line, it invoked such a clear image in my head of Siffrin tensed up like a startled prey animal that it got added to my list of things to maybe draw immediately.

Dooon't think about the words 'left' and 'right' in that quote too hard. I know how to read I prommy. :) (I did Not process those words and lost the coin flip in the composition phase...)

Close-up and ramblings about the cans of worms I unleashed upon myself under the cut

Time taken on this was [head in hands] 48 hours and 37 minutes.... That bloated number has two culprits:

1) I got a new tablet! My old one was 10 years old. Its plastic was melting and the electronics had ghosts in 'em, so it needed the sweet release of retirement. However, I had just gotten to the line art phase when the switch happened. Clumsily getting used to the new one during the most precise phase of the process did devastating things to my perfectionism.

2) I made a GRAVE mistake with how I chose to color this. I wanted to keep the grayscale layers for accuracy instead of just slapping a B&W filter over the colored version, so all the colors come from gradient maps, color balance layers, overlay layers, and raster layers clipped to other layers. Listen. I'm used to working with lots of layers. I like keeping things separate so I can edit them more easily. But this is the worst layer system I have ever created. Going from color to B&W requires toggling exactly 20 layers & folders on or off. There are 87 visible layers total. This file lags when you edit it. I've never wanted CSP v1.13 to have layer comps more in my life.

Not helping matters was Isabeau. I said he was the easiest to draw in my last post, but he took that as a challenge, apparently. It's a simple fist-on-hip pose, why was that so hard!?! His face gave me grief too.

Odile's lil' wave got added at the end of the line art phase. I've never added to a sketch that late in the game before, but I felt bad about how little screen area she got, haha. Girl, I tried, but this composition was not kind to you.

Giving Isa, Odile, and Siffrin skin colors felt cursed. Well... "color" is maybe a stretch for Sif. The pallor from being affection-jumpscared isn't helping. In the dev's nose reveal post, they said that Siffrin isn't white but is white-passing, so BOOM albinism headcanon. Like c'mon, they wear a big hat and have most of their skin covered because the sun is a deadly laser when you have little to no melanin and idk if sunblock exists in-universe. Heck, maybe most Islanders have it, their whole religion is about the night sky so maybe they're nocturnal. This makes perfect sense. :)
