There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own. 

Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3

Not dead! Just tired from the school semester ending soon along with burnout 😪

Anyways take this doodle or sketch thing of Machelle and Chase dressed as My Melody and Finn from Adventure Time! They've got a similar hat thing going on! 🩷

This is the first non school drawing I've done in a while 😭

Hello! This might be a silly question, but yknow that wedding commission you did? (https://www.tumblr.com/sergle/748659165732454400/everyone-pls-direct-your-attention-to-these-tags).

The foliage in the background has that really nice yellow glow, and I was just wondering how you did that. Is it a layer effect or done by hand? It's a lovely touch and adds such warmth for being so subtle, I like it a lot. :^)

Have a nice day!

Ooh!! okay, I definitely remember this and didn't just go back and look through the layers to see what I did on the piece. it's basically just a couple of overlays!! in various shades of beige and yellow.

The foliage bg on its own, with nothing on top of it, just looks like this:

I have one layer of beige overlaid, which does this:

plus another layer of yellow, smudgy this time to make it look softer:

then just super loose yellow lineart overlaid on the edges of the leaves, and a noise filter to go on top of it.

it's super duper quick! the rest of the lighting comes from a super low opacity orange tint and a super low opacity watercolor scan that I keep on deck. but yeah basically just a few layers of yellow on top of shades of blue!-- I was originally gonna do a plain color bg for this portrait, but it didn't look right until I did the foliage thing!

If i could re-live my life again I would have chosen to go to that small art school by the beach in OC California just to know what it would have been like no joke

if i were fifteen i would do everything wrong again in a slightly different way

Clackless Keyboards that yearn to feel

The keyboards beneath her fingers are warm and worn with oil from her constant typing. She twirls the stray strands of hair from her bangs before she puts them back in place.

Another spring breeze hits the window filtered through metal nets, caressing her face.

A face that needs caressing. Dreaming. Cursed maybe.

As much as she wishes for things to work out in life as they do in her head, the memories fade back and return.

You're not loved. You're not loved.

Not like that. Not like that. Never the way you want.

Its the kind of feeling that makes people fist into duvets, comferters, and blankets to hide their face in a comfert that would never deny them.

And yet her fingers linger on the keys.

The letters spell out-

"To my- my- my- beloved? friend? The boy down the street, the person I always needed? The person I want right now?"

"No I know who this is for"

"Dear Chase Almasi.

This is Kylie Gutierrez. Do you remember me? I'm that pretentious artist that you met that one day where I spilled coffee on you. And that one girl that found you after you got rejected from that audition you were hoping for. The one who would go to that same coffee place when I later found out you were workong there.

Yeah its me

Sorry about that.

This letter

I just wanted to let you know that I fell in love with you by accident. And I will hold this document in my chest and hope that one day. I can delete it knowing you have never read it and I will one day delete it.

Concerened about myself,

Kylie Gutierrez"

With a click, the file was saved onto the laptop. She passed out on her bed to the thoughts of fear and hoplessness.

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
