#cursive tutorial

[deskmanic]

Cursive is kinda bs because

is anyone able to tell which letter this is?

[sirfrogsworth]

I love how people who say shit like this don't realize these are both easily learned skills.

Give that generation access to YouTube tutorials and 2 weeks and they'll be stick-shifting past your ass on the highway and writing you cursive notes that say, "Fuck you, now convert a Word document to PDF."

[yeokii]

excuse me.. do you have a tutorial on how you make the banners of your themes?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀• GFX TUTORIAL !

honestly a bunch of people asked me how to make banners like I do, but chat im gna be fr there's no set tutorial because if u check some of my headers, they're quite different! but ill try to explain my process heh

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝒇 . how to make banners !

⠀⠀⠀₊˚ thank u anon for asking!! if anyone wants to make banners like these, hopefully this tutorial will help u!!

⠀⠀resources 𝑖𝑖.　 pinterest

i usually use pinterest for overlays and pngs like these u can check some of them out here in my pinterest or just type up gfx overlays and itll show up!

for pictures of idols when I make smau headers or navi headers, I recommend choosing photos that match!! In most cases, I use photoshoots of the idol I chose. for example if it was jake, I would use something like this!

⠀⠀inspo 𝑖𝑖.　 pinterest

most of my header ideas come from pinterest! they have many gfx edits on there and its very helpful if u don't have a solid image on what u want! you can check out my pinterest once again for some ideas ( here are some I found on pinterest )

another important thing is to have a matching colour scheme!!! guys im telling u thats literally what brings it together!! STICK TO THE COLOUR SCHEME like genuinely imagine ur colour scheme is like white pink and yellow and u go ahead and put like a blue png on there. executed on the spot.

take a look at the pictures above, they have a matching colour scheme that compliments the edit! pro tip if u have a concept on what u want ur header to be ( for example grunge ) use colour schemes that match the concept ( so for grunge you would use for example red black and grey )

⠀⠀software. 𝑖𝑖.　photoshop, procreate, ibis paint

now this is the part where u have to actually make it. I reccomeed ibis paint ( guys have u seen soov headers ) cuz its lowk mad easy to make stuff on there plus its free, but personally for me I would choose either photoshop and procreate ( I moved on from procreate to photoshop cuz the quality on procreate was buttcheeks ) icl I got photoshop for free ( @aewon my goat thank u ) and it took me like a few tries to get the hang of it ( okay I lied I made the gigi header on the first try ) BUT Its really easy honestly its just the system that looks intimidating.

　　　　　⎯⎯ anyways here are some things I like to add on my headers based on what I have already made

( shapes ) guys the rectangle shapes thing with a gradient in it always does it for me. they fill up spaces u dont know what to add in really easily. just put some text over it and align it and call it a day LMFAOOO

( pngs ) okay hear me out, pngs but only ones that FIT the concept. say ur making a game themed banner, I would put either pixel pngs or those cute game consoles yk!! I wouldn't slap a postcard onto it, that wouldn't fit the vibe

( texts ) the go to fonts I use is coolvetica, la graziela demo and retro gaming. honestly these fonts fit literally almost any concept!!! its lowk fire! something I like to do is use my cursive font ( la graziela demo ) and type one letter and zoom it in. it looks really cute trust!!

( effects ) guys pixelate effect is literally my bsf cuz why do I use it in everything!!! it literally is so perfect I use it in EVERYTHING! guys trust it brings it together so well!! especially when its like blending in to the unpixelated area! another effect I love to use is grain! chat I basically use it for everything. genuinely its like going out without any setting spray on like TF!! add ur grain, it makes it look so much more expensive ( but not that much, it just has to be really subtle )

( overlays ) okay this again! but these overlays are some I use for quite literally anything ( u can see it if u zoom hard enough ) but add them in the right places and put the blending mode on lighten and ur good to go!!

⠀⠀results 𝑖𝑖.　the finished product

well, if u have enough practice and a creative mind, it should look something like this!!

guys this was lowk so fun!! hope this helped u guys I literally pulled out every header I made lmfao 💭 lmk if u want one on how to make themes heh

Experimenting with work-skins on AO3 day 1.

Boy, did I spend way more hours on this than I meant to considering I have actual deadlines to meet.

notes under the cut-off:

Textures as backgrounds was a game-changer ngl (really it's just a background-image: url("link") !important) - credit to La_Temperanza on AO3, check out her tutorial on formatting letters and stationary here!

However, I so wish that AO3 allowed fonts. Not because web-safe fonts are bad, but there's so few. Just using the cursive (as seen in Joel's letter) might accidentally translate to a goofy ass front on microsoft devices. So a few more options, or the option to embed fonts one day would be *chefs kiss*

I have no idea when or if I'll use the Sibyl's Diner check, or F's computer (rewriting, I'm thinking of different ways of opening the story. I don't like the current one lol) but I just think they're neat so they get to stay.

Coding is like, surprisingly easy. Did I have a few hiccups with the texture urls? yes. But did I win in the end? Yes.

[zarathebleachfox]

I have done a thing.

I am proud.

For those who cannot read my shitty "stampatello" (lowercase italics is how I am supposed to actually say it right?), because I can only write well in cursive:

-Hell Arc fit

-Fur collar instead of neck pouf

-Wanted to match Szayel's freak

-Hachigo has matching furs, but smaller horns

-Choosing the horns was difficult (author's notes)

-Was inspired by tigers and rams

This is only the first Mayuri fit I invented. I am gonna try and make others as soon as school is not out for my ass any longer. If I focus on the face, it's because I cannot draw human bodies properly yet and I am too lazy (read: burnt out) to follow tutorials on how to get better at it.

ㅤ. 𓂂 Twisted Wonderland ⊹

💐 it’s almost Valentine’s Day!

✿ ͡ ݂ Epel, Lilia, Ace, Cater

ㅤㅤ. ‿‿ ‿‿ ୨ ୧ ‿‿ ‿‿ .

♥︎： Valentine’s Day special! I selected only a few characters this time because writing all of the students took so long! I hope you guys liked it anyway!… Guys, I actually don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, so if it sounds like something you wouldn’t do in Valentine’s Day or found it kind of unusual, I apologize 😓😓😓 Anyway, besides that, writing these silly headcanons are kind of fun

♥︎： He’s nervous, but very excited for this day. He even highlighted the holiday on his calendar. He prepared these candy apples for you, carving them into abstract, and cute shapes. He had even written, and made you this childish, but lovely Valentine’s Day card. Inside, there’s the cheesy, infamous pick up line “you’re the apple of my eye” written in cursive, and in bright red ink. Be grateful, because he spent all day crafting it up. At first he’s nervous to give it to you, but he sucked it up, and watched you closely try his candy apples. He’s so proud of them, that he kept on babbling “is it good? Is it good?”—his hidden dialect slipped. Then when he catches his excitement, he’d probably blush in total embarrassment.

♥︎： He’s so experienced with the upcoming holiday. He knows all sorts of things ladies covet for in this romantic occasion. He was originally going to try something new, and cook up his “special” dish for you, but thankfully Silver nagged him enough not to. So he bought, and prepared the usual heart-shaped box of chocolates, a bouquet of your favourite flowers, a stuffed animal of your favourite brand with his cologne sprayed on it, candy, perfume, a specially handwritten card in his signature dark, gothic stationery, and jewelry of your favourite kind. He’s those types of boyfriends who would go far to make you the Boo baskets or whatever. He knows what could make you swoon, it’s his thing. But you can’t help but wonder how he knows so much of your interests. Then, when the holidays came, and the moon was taking it’s throne, he’d lure you into the dark cobblestone paths of Ramshackle, and surprise you with the basket, and the little knick knacks he made, carefully arranged inside.

♥︎： He’s broke af, so he decided to craft everything. Listen, he never has the time to pick up new hobbies besides shoot a basketball into a hoop, or be a twink with Deuce, and slack off in his studies, but since he really likes you, and favours you… it’s just one time. He had enough pocket money to buy these candy strips, and make them into these edible roses—he definitely found the tutorial on Youtube Shorts. He also tried sculpting you this really ugly jewelry dish; he knows it’s ugly, but he hopes you like it. It’s smothered in glitter of your favourite colour, and he even wrapped it in a satin ribbon! Then, of course, he made you a card. It’s poorly coloured in crayons, the letters are wonky, and even F is written backwards. But you know, he just hopes you’re happy. Then when it’s time to give it to you, he’d slip the gift bag into your hands, foolishly smirking at you.

♥︎： It’s the time of the month for showing off his editing skills, and surprisingly, he’s pretty good in that Alightmotion stuff. He edited this photo album of you, putting in your favourite song, and adding these sick effects in it. He posted it in his Magicam story, but it ended up getting only 3 likes (from you, him, and his alt account). He can’t help but be a little disappointed, but since it was meant for you, he’s happy only you two got to see it. He also bought you a Djungelskog—the money came from his patron—and of course, the usual card, and a cheap box of chocolates. He’s especially teasing today, always sneaking pictures, and recording you while you open up his gift. He’s so proud of the edit though.

How do you write cursively

Maube I should watch tutorials

[meichenxi]

in the spirit of interaction: what are your thoughts on chinese calligraphy? have you ever taken classes? (i ask because it's something of a closet hobby of mine and your header is calligraphy as well ^.^) also, what would you say the most challenging part of studying is for you?

in the spirit of interaction: thank you, and apologies it inevitably took me this long to answer!!

my actual experience with calligraphy goes hand-in-hand with my ability to handwrite: as in, not much! whenever I do end up restarting my handwriting journey (and I'm going to have another crack at it soon), however, I find the calligraphic component of it the most satisfying by far. I'm going to focus on the practical element of calligraphy as beautiful handwriting that you can actively study, rather than as an art form or studying its history.

one of the things I focused on right from the get-go with learning to handwrite chinese was to copy chinese handwriting and not typed fonts. the balance was always important: chinese is such an elegantly written language and my ugly beginner's handwriting physically hurt me. I also love handwriting in english and deliberately crafted my own cursive style when I was around 14, so I knew I wanted to pay similar attention to it in chinese. that meant I spent a lot of time 'handwriting' without knowing the characters I was writing in the beginning, purely to get a feel for the balance and shape of characters.

I think calligraphy is especially interesting to deliberately study from a practical perspective when learning to write because it provides an answer to the 'how to fit X character in a box' conundrum that always plagues me: fat characters, complex character, lopsided characters, thin and narrow characters. looking at calligraphic representations of whatever character you're trying to learn to write can show you that often this desire to fit into the box is a little misplaced: most natural chinese handwriting does have characters that are taller, broader, longer etc, and you can learn in what circumstances such a re-balance is considered beautiful and acceptable, and in what circumstances the size difference or relationship between different characters on the same line is too extreme and veers towards awkward or ugly.

I find making an effort to separate your handwriting practice (for learning the strokes) and handwriting practice (for practicing balance and style) can lead to really excellent results!! I would add a separate half an hour of practice at the end of my general handwriting daily ritual to specifically focus on one aspect of handwriting: a type of stroke, the way I held the pen or pencil (I don't regularly use brush and ink), the composition and balance of similarly composed characters.

for this, I would go to a chinese calligraphy app on my phone and search for, say, a common character like 也 that I already knew how to write. this would show me examples from different styles of calligraphy, and where the line might be between 'readable and beautiful' and 'artistic but illegible for daily life'. from there I would go on a little bit of a youtube rabbit hole watching other tutorials for that particular character - I found searching for the kanji in japanese if it's the same as the chinese character to be very helpful, as there are lots of videos for a japanese audience! - and pay attention to the key things that go wrong, its balance, where its 'centre' is and so on.

I would then go and practice writing the character, but not only that: I would try and deliberately make certain parts of it exaggerated, as much as I could, to see which parts of the writing process are 'loadbearing'. for example with 也 - the middle line often in calligraphic styles begins way above the left-most line and the hook. so from that it would become clear how the character might look sped up - I would also try and find cursive examples of each on youtube to understand which strokes are commonly joined.

all of the characters that I can write - still, after a long time away - in a way that I find pleasing or well-balanced for a non-native and unpracticed writer, are ones that I spent the time and effort into studying in this amount of detail, or ones that are analogous to other characters whose compositions I studied. the best thing about this sort of method is that, even though you might only be 'learning' one character a day, the rules and general guidelines for form, weight of the pencil, balance of composition etc are very similar across many different characters. and you learn to spend time before you write a new character examining it and figuring out where the weight of it is, what it would look like in a square, what it would look like calligraphically on its own, where it would sit on a line with other characters etc. so it all carries over to other characters you later learn, and your handwriting in general begins to improve.

in terms of calligraphy as an art form: I think part of what draws me to chinese and specifically traditional chinese culture is the emphasis on morality within craft - excellence in learning is a moral virtue. the harmony of technical excellence and virtue is something which makes me kind of go insane. and it makes sense: there is not the same separation of duty and social life and other confucian values to family, state etc with art as there is in western culture: who wrote the poems? even the poets with the most overtly daoist and/or rebellious themes had often been officials at court, even if they were hermit-ing out in the mountains or had fled their official positions. a gentleman of good standing was expected to master calligraphy, but also painting, poetry composition and so on.

with the same brush and the same paper, the three arts are inseperable: a painting is a poem and a poem is a painting, and both are enriched by the fervour or restraint or elegance or curtness or wildness of the writer or painter's brushstrokes. of course there are individual artists who are remembered more as calligraphers or painters or poets, but most 'gentlemen' and respected educated rich women (though about this I know less, being honest) would have been expected to excel at all three.

and the 'literati' was a social class, tied up of course with land and money and huge privilege, but in theory a class which anybody with the luck to receive a good education, pass the imperial exams and join the ranks of government, could enter. (of course you had to have money to be tutored in the first place since there were not schools and private tuition was the norm, but anyway...). even if you failed the exam, or failed at one of the increasingly challenging levels, your life could be transformed: you could find a job as a tutor or teacher and escape the crushing weight of a peasant's life, with room to pursue leisure.

so my appreciation for calligraphy I think ties in to my appreciation of this way of thinking and the emphasis on a well-rounded gentleman of letters, and the idea that learning and painting and writing are all forms of self-betterment and cultivation. that too ties in with the martial arts aspect of it - like you can see in films like zhang yimou's hero, where calligraphy is held up as proof of a swordsman's mastery of the sword - in a way which is kind of mocked in the west, or seen in anime with the old master at the top of the mountain, but something that does have its basis in reality. the idea that creativity itself must be based first on a solid mastery and understanding of the classics, of the works of antiquity; the idea that learning and exercising that - like you exercise your body - is a morally good thing to do. the idea that because it is moral, your own moral virtues or lack thereof, your own character, can be revealed in your calligraphy or your swordsmanship or your poetry or your art.

I don't have any especial knowledge of calligraphy itself, but the underpinning idea is very compelling to me. I suppose it's similar in some ways to the greek strenuous education of body and mind in antiquity, though I really don't know much about that. I know that the heavy and weighted respect for the classics can be stifling in a lot of education, and has worked to repress and suppress the rights of women and the lower classes. so of course there's nuance, and having taught in east asia three times I'm well aware of the frustrations and cruelties, sometimes, of a confucian-based classroom. but I still think it's something we can learn from in the west, with discernment and respect.

(I COMPLETELY FORGOT THE SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION!! will do another post on that, sorryyy)

[okwonyo]

can you do a tutorial on how to to do your themes?

i have got this ask i think .. an hundred times and i think i never answered properly to it. so, let’s go ! today, i am giving you the complete and detailed guide how to do a theme like mine ^_^

HOW TO MAKE A THEME, OKWONYO STYLE, 101

first step. choose an icon ! before even choosing the pictures for the theme, i choose the pictures for the blog’s icon and the header. usually, i find them on the idol’s instagram, twitter and pinterest.

second step. look for pictures ! to be honest, i rarely search for “[color] aesthetic” on pinterst. i usually just look into my “themes&aesthetic” board on my own page.

what i recommend is to take time to scroll on pinterest and always save pretty images that you know will be great on a theme. it can also really helps for work’s layout.

when you want to make a new theme, you just have to tap on the images you want and pinterst will show you pictures that have the same vibe / color scheme.

when i make a theme, i try to put pictures that go well together. i don’t look for pictures with all the same color, but i look for colors that go well with each other. as colors have different shades, i think it is harder to make a theme with only the one color.

after finding what i want, i put theme next to each other— in a way that sits right with me.

third step. add your own touch ! what i like to do is to modify my pictures (add my name, add cursive letters, put a black and withe filters). the applications i use for this are phonto, picsart, capcut and ibispaint.

i find the fonts on pinterst. as for the pictures, i have a board just for the fonts as well. if you need a tutorial for how i do my header here. however, this is an hold one, i don’t really do headers like this anymore ^^

for the gifs, i use pngs from pintersts that i keep in a board and use ezgif.com to go from video to gif !

forth step. put texts ! to link my navigation, moots and carrd, i need to add texts. i mostly take bios from song lyrics or create my own like i did for the texts on my pinned currently.

to modify the fonts, i use yaytext.com ! and to find the symbols i go on accounts like @/espuor or @/oatelier.

fifth step. to finish, i incorporate colors in my theme.

sometimes, color the texts on pinned with studdbydavid.com. here is a quick little tutorial on how to use.

these days, i also like to change the background and accent colors. for this, i use ibis paint to take colors from my theme directly.

to add a lick on my account, i use this : <a href="insert link">insert word</a> and put in on my blog’s settings on tumblr. com !

i also add the links for my navigation on places that look good. i don’t put two different links and words that are next to each other ^^

and that is all ! that’s how i make a theme step by step >< don’t forget to give credits from the person you take inspiration from 💋✨

❄️ Day 12 - The Gingerbread House ❄️

🎁 Today's fic is dedicated to @chicgeekgirl89

Summary: TK and Carlos enjoy a double date night with Mateo and Nancy building gingerbread houses.

Word count: 598

24 Days of Tarlos Masterpost

TK knocks and Mateo opens Nancy’s door with a smile. “Hey, guys! Come on in!”

They were down to just two couples for this hang and Mateo had come up with the brilliant idea of a double date night building gingerbread houses. Carlos was only too happy when Nancy and Mateo offered to host, meaning he didn’t have to stress about frosting, sprinkles, and candy going everywhere Lizzie the dog would surely investigate. 

TK has dressed accordingly for this gingerbread date by wearing a t-shirt with a gingerbread man whose leg has been snapped off that says “oh, snap!” He thought it was hilarious, and Carlos loves indulging his husband’s whims.

They step over the threshold of Nancy’s cozy apartment and she comes around the corner with her loud, jubilant greeting, and a round of hugs despite the fact she saw TK when they got off shift this morning. 

“It smells good in here, Nance,” TK compliments and Nancy points at the kitchen. 

“Teo and I have been making cookies.”

“It felt appropriate,” Mateo nods. 

“Pizza should be here soon,” Nancy finishes. “Y’all want something to drink?”

A little while later, Carlos is situated at a barstool at Nancy’s kitchen island, sitting beside his husband, each with a can of cranberry sprite in their hands, slices of pizza off to the side, and a shared gingerbread house kit in front of them. Nancy and Mateo are at the other end of the island in a mirrored position. Nancy’s playing holiday hits through the speaker in her kitchen and TK is scrolling through Pinterest for gingerbread house designs. 

“How about a sort of classic look, babe?” TK asks, showing Carlos his phone with a gingerbread house with white icing swirls on the roof, decorated in gumdrops and peppermints. 

“That’s pretty, but neither of us are exactly artists,” Carlos points out.

“No, but, you have a steady hand,” TK points out. “You have pretty cursive and you’ve written in icing on some of my cakes. The rest is just having an eye for detail, which we both have.”

Carlos doesn’t stop himself from reaching over to squeeze TK’s hand. “Let’s give it a shot.”

An hour later, TK and Carlos and Nancy and Mateo have two assembled gingerbread houses between them. 

TK and Carlos had been a good team, decorating each piece before assembling the whole thing, working together to hold the walls up in place until the icing solidified enough to hold steady as the other attached another piece. They added finishing touches with more candy and sprinkles and TK is beaming. It isn’t quite Pinterest worthy, and they’re both covered in icing–TK pointed out Carlos got some in his hair–but TK’s grin makes it worth it. 

Mateo and Nancy’s gingerbread house is surprisingly elegant, with expert piping around the trim of the house and a pretty swooping pattern on the roof. 

“Did y’all practice before we came or something?” TK laughs, as he takes a picture of their houses side by side.

“I watched a ton of tutorials,” Mateo shrugs. 

“And I have a sister who’s a baker. She taught me how to pipe frosting like that,” Nancy adds in. “But we did decide on a design earlier.”

TK shakes his head with a laugh. “Well yours looks amazing.”

“Uh, so does yours! I love the candy cane arches!” Nancy exclaims. 

“This was a perfect date night idea,” Carlos smiles, draping an arm around TK. “And we made a beautiful house, babe.”

The grin TK turns on him is blinding, and so full of love. “Yes, we did.”

HERES MINE!

2) obtain a quote, lyrics, or come up with something!

it can be anything. trust me.

HERES MINE!

( no me queda mas by selena)

3) scavenge all of pinterest for your pictures

speaking for myself here, but this can vary in how long it will take...

4) font generator and put your lyrics or whatever you chose in it

you have to choose the sans serif font and if you wanna truly be like me add a cursive capital letter. LIKE THIS

𝓐𝗍𝗌𝗎 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗊𝗎𝖾𝖾𝗇 𝗈𝖿 𝗒𝗏𝖾𝗌 𝗆𝖻𝗌

5) get your symbols + emojis

i typically use some like -> ᜴, ⠀⃝ , ⠀⃞⠀, 𓊈𓊉 and a bunch of like messy symbols. just look at my posts, and youll see...

6) get your dividers

again, this can take a while... but usually, its pretty quick

7) now MIX!

btw we are anti 3x3 here. it is very rare that you will see me doing a 3x3 layout

here is how it turned out!☆

[delicate-sketch]

Thank you for all of your lovely art! Would you be willing to make a post on how you draw Will's hair so curly? Especially my favorite the one where he sleeping with Nico. Thank you much and very kind if you do!

Anon I have kinda of a poor english bad writing when not in cursive and teaching skills that would make an actual teacher cry But here is my best attempt of a tutorial, before I was a digital artist I spent a lot of time in traditional art so my techniques aren’t anything extraordinary and my artist mentality is pretty much the oil painting mentality of “just paint on top of it!”

[the-pessimists-paradigm]

Random but I hope you have a good day/night and don't forget to drink plenty of water ✨

(Also what's your favorite hc about each of the bros, if you don't mind answering?)

Aww, thank you so much!

Lucifer is the type of guy who practices calligraphy. Pristine handwriting, cursive loops, and edges. Ink quill, 15 different bird feathers. All to send you the most heartwarming love letters you have ever received. Essays about how beautiful you are, inside and out, laden with symbolism and metaphors amongst the starry skies.

Mammon would totally get lost in an airport with you. He'd arrive all pristine in a nice coat and jacket, and be frantic by the end of the day. You'd be exploring terminals, baggage claims, and restaurants just before missing your flight. Totally cute disaster couple.

Leviathan usually doesn't watch horror, but when he does, he always cuddles into your side, turning his face away. The only indication of his presence is the pressure and heat on your shoulder.

Satan is secretly a cat dad. He started fostering a kitten in his room, begging Lucifer to let him keep the small thing. Whenever you come over, there are always soft meows coming from inside.

Asmodeus has a fashion blog. He curates his ideal outfits, asks Levi to help him sew, and then has you model with a smile on his face. He loves how you pose, and you love how happy it makes him to see you in something he picked.

Beelzebub has a passion for baking. On birthdays and anniversaries, he's always there with a baked good. He started learning by watching YouTube tutorials with Barbatos (my self-sufficient man). Whether it's biscuits or cookies, he always knows just how to make you smile.

Although he would rarely admit it, Belphegor cherishes it when you cuddle, preferring to hug you from behind after a tiring day. You hug him when you're done with class as he dozes off in your arms.

hiya! 2, 20, 29, 31, 43 for the oc asks c:

Hi Laya! Thank you! :3

Tis the ask game

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

I am a good blorbo mom and I love all my OCs equally.

It's Aisling, she's relaxing and fun to write.

20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?

Alyra is a bard. She sings only drinking songs in pubs. She'll start the choir and have whole room join. Easy to spill secrets if you shared a shanty. Will not sing on command, if you ask her, she won't even speak. Won't sing under the shower or as pleasure, but she did sing lullabyes to baby Kieran and her own offspring eventually. She has a nice, low voice.

Raina is the one that loves singing the most, but unfortunately she's also tone deaf. If she strikes a note it was by pure chance and mistake, it won't happen again. She puts always a lot of passion into it, but she's terrible. Picture a younger Florence Forster Jenkins (TW for... Singing so horrible it's actually funny, I love FFJ unironically).

Aisling has a nice voice and likes to sing, will most often be found humming as she works, and even put words together to sing her own (whimsical, think "In the golden afternoon" from Alice in Wonderland) songs. She's extremely shy, tho, she sings in public only it it's a group song and she can involve other people in it. Ask her to sing solo in front of a person and she'll run in the opposite direction instead.

Niamh I think has a nice voice and is the one that will actually show off and seek proper singing lessons. In a modern AU, she'll apply to lyrical singing classes, and will be a nice soprano.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?

Garrett and Niamh, most definitely.

Garrett will say that "What's the worse that can happen, I'm used to demons and I can talk to them". Not in Kirkwall, because just as Lilian, Kirkwall usually means a shitton of demons he can't handle by himself, or bandits.

Niamh will go just to show that she can. Also it means there's a Spirit in distress and she can calm them down, so why shouldn't she help? That poor spirit must be so upsed, better go and fix it. *Aisling disapproves*

Priscilla would go if she gets paid for it, she doesn't believe in ghosts and after Hezenkoss? Eh, it's all downhill, can't get any spookier than that.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Mh, the two that would have a tumblr blog are Aisling and Priscilla, let's focus on the latter.

Priscilla would have an extremely curated blog. It's all in pinks and creams with a touch of turquoise, very very girly but elegant. A cursive elegant font uses sparsely for titles, neat links to her other profiles (she has an Instagram and is very active). As for the content: it's aesthetics, all in the same colour range (she loves pink!), a lot of fashion design and fashion photography, all high end and very classy. And the occasional original post showing the nails she did to her friends, some hairdo she has on or made people (Bellara is a favourite model, even if her face is rarely shown she's referred to as "the bestie💖"). Some selfie of her and the group here and there. Poetry and aforism and musics, all by women, resources on indie artists in the music and fashion field. And the occasional informative post against fast-fashion, capsule wardrobes, tutorials on sewing and embroidery and recognizing different types of fabrics.

She'll be very active, i think ahahah.

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess

Mh, I try to go for "Stuff I'd like to explore or learn how to draw". Like: Radha has an undercut becuase I liked the idea of an androgynous character. I do like contrasts when creating a character, and I do design them thinking of the personality as well, and I colour-code them all.

Example: I wanted a warrior for Veilguard, I didn't have any and I decided to try. To add a little contrast and interest, I decided that Priscilla would have been very "girly" and pink, and definitely a high femme... Who can also shield bash you out of existence. I made her buff because she needs some muscle to support that big shield and armour, but chose the same hairstyle as Evka (before knowing Evka's designer had my same idea) to have some more girlyness in an otherwise full armour, I put her some make up and enhanced the pink with lipstick when the game didn't give me the option of changing the colour to the armours (buuuuh). She does change hairstyle at a certain point, it was fun.

(I have a lot of Priscilla feels, sorry ahahahahah)

I do tend to design finer traits, out of being very self-conscious about my own nose that's on the bigger side (I hated it as a teen. I'm growing fonder of it, but it's a work in progress). xD

Also: I love expressive people and drawing expressions, so I have quite a hard time in drawing aloof, more stoic characters.

... I can't think of anything else, you tell me ahahahahah
