tutorial contents:

1 ‣ gshade & photoshop actions 2 ‣ template or cropping & colouring 3 ‣ notifs & pop-ups

okay hi! i have a really old editing tutorial from back in january that i've been linking people to, but it's pretty outdated by now. i also keep getting anons asking about the same things, which is fine, but i always have to go searching for the post explaining it, so having it all in one place will be a lot more convenient lol

i use a ☠ copy of photoshop cc 2017 to edit my screenshots, however the majority of everything i'm doing also works on photopea

photopea is an online version of photoshop that's 100% free and works very well! i can't recommend it enough, it's fantastic

first things first, you're going to need some screenshots to edit. for the sake of this tutorial i'll be working with this one of raffy:

in all honesty, gshade will do most of the work for you. of course it's not needed, but i definitely don't think i could live without it! in this screenshot i used sunset n' vinyl by nesurii

when opening the screenshot, the first thing i do is run it through 2 photoshop actions:

butter action by early-grape

smooth sharp (no topaz) by poolbrop

to add actions in photoshop go:

windows > actions > the 4 lines at the upper right corner of the newly opened window > load actions > your downloads folder > open up the .atn files!

if you're using photopea, as far as i'm aware you can't use photoshop actions, but i've found that 'filter > stylize > oil paint' and 'filter > sharpen > smart sharpen' have a very similar effect when using the right settings. try these:

i like these two actions because they smooth everything out nicely, but keep it sharp at the same time! i always run butter before i run smooth sharp, however butter may leave you with 2 layers. make sure to merge these layers before running smooth sharp to achieve the full effect.

here's a before and after (of the photoshop action):

from here you can move on to step 2

before anything else i want to share the template that i use to make editing a lot faster. you don't need to use it but it's definitely made things a lot easier for me! it's a .psd file and will work perfectly in photopea

download (simfileshare)

if you're using the template you can skip right on to the next section, as it's already cropped to the right size and has the colouring folder included. just drag your screenshot into it and resize to fit the height.

if you're not using it, crop your edited screenshot to:

1707 width x 1280 height

then adjust the colours to your liking. it always varies slightly depending on the picture but my regular process for each screenshot would be:

up the saturation by 8%

up the lightness by 3%

up the contrast by 12%

all of this can be done by looking in the 'images > adjustments' tab

you should end up with something similar to this!

if you want to add a moodlet or social interaction or anything similar, it's all the same process. what you'll need is a screenshot of it straight from the game. i just press the 'c' key to capture them! i'll be working with these two:

for the blue notification i'm going to select it using the box select tool. try to get it as exact as possible. one you have it selected

for photoshop users:

click on the 'select and mask...' option located at the top

adjust the global refinements at the side as follows:

smooth: 70 feather: 0.0px contrast: 50% shift edge: 0%

for photopea users:

go to select > modify > smooth

set it to 15

select 'ok' and press 'ctrl + c' to copy it, then 'ctrl + v' to paste it into your screenshot. adjust the size and position and you should end up with something like this:

next you want to add the transparent border around the notification. if you're using my editing template, right click on the reference notif in the layers tab and select 'copy layer style' (photopea > 'layer style > copy'). from there you can paste that layer style onto your own notif through the layers tab.

if you're not using the template, here's how to set it up on photoshop:

right click your notification layer and select 'blending options'

under styles, tick the checkboxes for stroke and drop shadow

input these settings:

on photopea, it should be more or less the same. repeat the exact same process with the social menu option, but instead of selecting it with the box select tool, use the magic select tool. in the end you should end out with this!

from here you're finished! thanks for reading! go to file and export as png

if you've got questions never hesitate to ask, just make sure to read the faq in my pinned. i might edit this post soon to include the gen intro traits and aspirations bit, but this is all for now. hope it helps, my editing process post has been in need of a revamp for a very long time. i haven't proof-read this so apologies for any mistakes!

sub yuta okkotsu agenda 😔

no bc i got THOUGHTS, i got so many thoughts about my babygirl named yuuta okkotsu, you don't even UNDERSTAND how badly i want him

him in the movie-*aggressive eye twitch*, his big sweet innocent puppy eyes-fuck it just *short circuits*

AND THEN afterwards when he's his anxious, tired, emo self (me too fr), like he's still just my cutie patootie and it's a literal CRIME how little sub fics of him there are bc take one look at that baby AND TELL ME that he is a daddy dom in bed-you'd be lying to yourself and me-and we do not tolerate lying in this house

no but fr, he is not domming for his life. a service top-perhaps, he would still cry a lot though and if you were making HIM fuck YOU he would beg for you to just take over, his arms shaking on either side of your head as he tries to make you feel good. because it's not the same like this-he wants you to fuck him, he wants to ride you as your hands grope over his body, he wants to pinned against a wall and fucked hard and rough within an inch of his life.

babyboy just wants to be loved and taken care of by his so

>> start the adventure! <<

while starstruck makes her merry way to the @kirbyoctournament, why not keep her company with some questions?

for the next month, as propaganda for the tourney, dream land's favourite little anxious amnesiac will be taking asks directly!

couple of little notes, suggestions, and rules!

though this is hopefully obvious, i don't guarantee i'll get to every ask or interaction! i'll do the best i can, but if i don't make it to yours, it's nothing personal! where possible these will be answered "in character" from tourney!starstruck, though you can still ask me tournament related things too! this is my first time trying "in character" asks, but i want to make one thing really clear: please no text rp. makes me incredibly uncomfortable. for plot consistency, this is set during her Present Timeline, and she knows as much about her own backstory as the average reader. has no idea who This Guy is. she has similarly not yet encountered the star spears or any weapon like them. questions can come from ocs, especially if they're in the tournament! i may not draw your oc in the response though. i probably won't respond to any "how are you" generic type deals because those will get hard to answer pretty much immediately. i am hoping to find some fun personality combos to riff off, so if you have an interesting interaction idea for our ocs, feel free to share! starstruck is Technically Romancable and OCs who are at least 25+ are totally welcome to make an attempt to flirt with her (pspsps evil lesbians especially if you're out there come say hi. any and all wings havers also), but remember she is dense as a pile of bricks. also please no nsfw.

♡ jungsu

wants to play your favorite movies even if some of them are not his cup of tea

always checking if you’re running out of meds (if you’re taking any)

cuddles you under soft blankets hoping you’ll fall asleep so you don’t have to feel the pain

cooks for you

walks in the neighbourhood cause he wants you to take a breath of fresh air

shoulder kisses as he describes you how nice he’s gonna fuck you when you get better (unless you’re well enough to take it?)

drawing together as a nice playlist with music plays quietly in the room

fingers you under the blanket

♡ jooyeon

only lets you leave the bed if it’s to go to the bathroom

back massages under your hoodie as he sits on your butt

playing video games and he lets you win for once

“feeling better? think you can give me a blowjob now?”

if you have a cold the only exposed parts of you are your eyes and nose, cause every time he checks on you he’s pulling up your blanket as high as possible

eskimo kisses

Yeah I was shocked when Mina said that Dracula is the saddest case of them all, when she had said clearly before that the springs of pity were drained for him after killing Lucy... Now literally feeling sympathy after being inflicted by the same vampirism, and wanting the others to feel mercy for her too when she becomes a vampire and starts hunting loved ones too... Meanwhile Jonathan is ready to make a pact with Satan to send Dracula to the fires of Hell. And yet he admits his hate is "despicable" and that he loves Mina "a thousand times more" for her mercy, even if he cannot share it. And the payoff we see Mina feeling relief upon seeing his face in peace. And then you have no Hollywood-esque triumph in any of the monster-slaying, but bloody mess and grief and Van Helsing (ironically the pop culture badass slayer) looking at his own hands in horror.

just yes for everything! Im so so intrigued by the way despite everything, Stoker somehow still manages to carve out a moment of pity for this monster of a man. Its just. Augh. Heartache. Im always a sucker (hah) for stories where the monster's death is portrayed not just as a relief for its victims, but for the monster too.

Also I kinda just like how hes so. pathetic. like these are the initial sketches I did for the frame where Jonathan beheads Dracula

yea.

@re-dracula did a great job with the music in this episode. It helps lend gravity, and stress the tone, and most importantly... helps disguise how diddly darn long this monologue is

The written version would definitely give me trouble, with the lack of paragraph breaks, so the music definitely helps on account of General Trouble With Focus

Something over stuggled with most of my life is an inability to see images in my head. That means when I draw, I don't generally know what the finished piece will look like. As I draw, I apply my knowledge of technique and change things that just don't look right.

The reason I send this is to let others know that not everyone has a mind's eye. You can still be a good artist.

thank you for sharing anon! <3 I think people will relate and this will help people <3

On writing and liking

So there's about a million ways I could start my thoughts in this post, and all of them feel...whiny. I hate feeling whiny. I don't want to be someone who thinks about writing as "content." I feel rewarded by the act of writing, by trying new things, by pushing myself to improve, by sharing with friends who know me and know my style and my characters. But I would be lying if I said that that's all of it, right? I post because I want to share my writing, and I want people to interact with it.

It takes the wind out of my sails, a little, when I have followers (or non-followers!) who like my writing posts, repeatedly, and never go beyond that. Or, on the same token, reblog with no tags. I never want to feel entitled to the attention of strangers, but it's the halfway of things like this that starts to irk me. I understand that there are a million reasons why someone may not interact at a certain point and time - I get it!  We're busy people with responsibilities. But when it's a consistent thing, I start to wonder why they're bothering at all, if they don't ever seem to actually see it. I don't even need to get in the reblogs vs. likes debate - I love a reply! I love asks! I would not be here if I didn't.

And it's not just writing - I understand that I don't have my longfic up yet! But I want to know that that's ok, that people follow me not just because of what I reblog. Along for the ride means bugging me from the backseat, not staying silent until we're at the destination.

"You... You look familiar."

"[name], you are a murderer. A murderer!"

"Put that down. I won't harm you. I promise."

"Tell me the truth. You're a spy, aren't you!?"

"I know you think that I'm a murderer, but you're wrong."

"I promise. Don't cry anymore, [name]."

"What are you talking about? Answer me! Who did I kill?!"

"I may have been a bad person, but that was before. That's not who I am now."

"What are you talking about? It's not your fault. [name] is the one who caused everything!"

"Wait, please don't kill me! I didn't know anything about you then!"

"I can't believe you're not dead yet."

"Liar. You'll kill me if I drop it. I'm not stupid!"

"Whatever. I don't have time for your pathetic games."

"What are we gonna do, [name]?"

"Where am I? I-I don't remember... anything..."

consider: Wesker who owns a strip club and is not only a stripper himself, but whenever he performs they advertise weeks in advance because he’s so goddamn popular and hot and half the city wants to see him throw it back

Im sorry but i cackled at the thought of wesker in this setting 😭 Can’t deny hes caked

actually though, what about a Club Owner/stripper Wesker x Stripper reader sort of thing?

i don’t know why wesker just gives me a pimp vibe in a way?
