ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog

Would u ever make like a rendering tutorial ?? the way that you shade just looks so cool

not exactly a tutorial, but this is my general process! my rendering is usually 2 coloring layers (1 for the base beneath the lines and the other above the lines to paint over), a tone curve layer + gradient map if i feel like exploring other colors, and a paper print texture + white noise (comes with csp, 40%).

none of these steps are that strict, but i hope it's self explanatory because i don't know how to go more in depth than this... rendering is like the most cumbersome part of drawing for me so it's a whole lot of "maybe this will work..." "i need to recolor this part" "a gradient map will Save this" type of process LOL anyway, i hope this answered your question + here's a small timelapse (sorry for the lq)

pro-tip: don't ever use the sentence "thousands of years" in your worldbuilding unless you really know what a thousand years is like

reading poetry forces you to ask wrenching, necessary, impossible questions, like "is the author stupid? or am I?"

fondly remembering the time friends sent me this in the groupchat because I worked for a not-for-profit and i had to explain that my desk situation was technically worse than this

there's a fine line between being wary of manipulation and becoming completely paranoid because you get very close to the realisation that pretty much all human interaction involves doing things we hope will lead to a result we like
