🌸Hi guys! The Spanish Sekakoi fandom is holding an event to commemorate of the series’ 15th anniversary! ❤️

Those of you who sign up will redraw a portion of The Case of Ritsu Onodera No. 31 (Considered to be the best Sekaiichi Hatsukoi chapter by the fandom according to recent polling!) in your own art style!

I’m posting on behalf of the event runner to let you know that the English-speaking portion of the fandom is invited to participate as well! When everything is completed, there will be both a Spanish and English version for everyone to enjoy!

Pages will be assigned on May 15th, at which point you will find out which portion of the chapter you will be redrawing. Afterwards, June 25th will be the deadline to submit your final artwork!

You must have a Discord account to participate!

If you are interested in participating, please send me a DM and I’ll get you all set up and hopefully answer any questions you may have! 💕

hello everyone, it's been a while.

First off, I'd like to say thank you all for your patience. I know some of you are frustrated with the delays but please know that the team's been working hard to bring you the latest SIH chapters.

We are excited to announce that we're almost done w/ the Nostalgia mix chapter, ch 32, ch 33 and a surprise bonus chapter. The tentative release date for these chapters is around mid March. We're also working on ch 34 and ch 35 and plan to release those by no later than mid April. Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

Second of all, I'd like to add that while we are working hard, this is a volunteer group. Meaning we don't have many staff members. With that said though, we are open to taking on new volunteers as translators (our main need at the moment), cleaners, scanners and proofreaders. If you want to participate, then please feel free to message either me or any of our staff.

Have a good day everyone!!

#art ref

so a while back I made a “how-to” for how I render gold for shits-n-gigs. Recently, I had to reference this myself because I straight up FORGOT how I paint gold in the middle of working on a commission.

Figured it would be fun to share, if yall want to know my gold painting secrets (spoiler, im very lazy and just want the fastest and dirtiest way to get something done. and for me, this is it)

Here is my no-fail, 10 step (it sounds like a lot, i swear its not) method:

1) Draw thing

2) Ink thing. When inking I draw big “I” shaped black chunks on metal stuff. Usually I’ll put one thick and one thin next to each other. If I’m being especially lazy, I will literally just draw a black scribble in a vauge I-ish shape.

3) Flat color block. I usually go for a mid-tone yellow-ish color. Not super saturated.

4) Shading. Use a more saturated color several shades darker. I focus the shading around where I inked those black “I” shapes. I wrote to be mindful of a light source, and this is what you should do. But I’ll be honest, I usually just shade around the edges.

5) LIGHT. Use a bright saturated yellow color. I usually pick one and then color adjust as necessary once it’s blocked in. Catch the rims/edges of objects. I usually use more of those double “I” shapes in the middle.

6) SPECIAL EFFECTS BAYBEEE. Douplicate highlight layer. Set it to “Add.” Use gaussian blue until it glows to your liking. Adjust opacity as you like.

7) ONE MO ‘GAIN. Repeat step 6. Set to “Color Dodge.” Adjust hue/opacity as you like.

8) Futz around till you like it. I like to add more color dodge above the ink layer to brighten some spots. This is optional.

9) Corrections. Assuming you’re working on a non-white background, those Add and Dodge layers will show over the edges of your lineart. This is where I take a soft airbrush eraser and remove what I dont like.

10) Final futzing. Sometimes I’ll add a dark blue Overlay layer to reduce saturation and increase contrast. Added some “shinies.” To do this draw some thin cross-shaped lines that taper at the ends. Duplicate layer. Change layer mode to “Add.” Use Motion Blur in the same direction as the cross long-ways.

AND YER DONE CONGRATS. Are there better ways? Eehhhh probably. Do I use them? Nah. This is what works for me and my work-flow, so feel free to try it out if you want! ✨✨✨

I am so serious when I say if you want to learn about light, you NEED to at least look at modeseven’s tutorials. even if you’re not pursuing a painterly style, this is all essential theory that can be easily adapted to different coloring styles. notice how none of these ever say ‘light with these colors and shade with these colors’? notice how this is teaching how light works on a mechanical level, and reminding the audience to adjust the actual colors they choose by context? THAT is good advice.

(if you’re thinking ‘wow I want to study more of this persons art!’ I encourage you to do so, but proceed with the knowledge that modeseven draws pretty much exclusively weird as hell kink art. sometimes wisdom comes from horny places)
