Welcome back to Potato's "How To Bullshit Sewing"

First I showed my concept, now we're going to measure and cut out the pieces!

So I'm going to vocational college for graphic design, so I need a bag to hold a lot of books and papers. My largest paper pad I've used so far is this Bristol Board, so that's what were going go use to measure about how big to make it!

First you take your largest item and lay it on the fabric, and draw the shape of the bag around it, remembering to have extra material for seam allowance, and "opps I fucked up and now the edges are all frazzled"

(I forgot to mention that the canvas and other materials I have is doubled, from when they cut it off the bolt, so you only need the cut out the outer material once if that's the case for you.)

It's likely I'll trim this down a bit later, but its better to have more than you need, then less that you have to go back and get.

Next, stack the stuff you need in it and either take a leftover piece of material or paper and mark how wide the sides need to be. I had some leftover canvas that was about the width of the stuff I had, so I used it as a starting point.

From the bottom of the material I marked where the top of the lenght was, pretty much just made a line where I the top corner was.

Here I marked the width of the bag, but unfortunately I didn't have enough material to have one continuous line for the whole bag. But, since this material is folded, I can just mark about the middle of the bottom and have two halves.

Next, the Tazer Pocket I want to add to throw side.

The one on my messenger bag was fine, that one I top sewed the folded edges closer together so it wouldn't be completely flat on the side, if that makes sense.

But this time we're making side seams so it doesn't go inside the bag a bit, if that makes sense also.

Repeat the steps like with the Bristol board, giving plenty of seam allowance and trimming room. This scrap price was perfect to use, and I had enough to also use it for the side seam.

I folded that material hotdog style and that looked to be enough for the side seam, so it's good enough for me! If it messes up later it can be a snack pocket lol.

Next, I want to make a drawstring bag on the opposite side for trinkets or chapstick or whatever the hell, so I cut out a piece that was a little bigger than the side of the bag, which looking now I'll likely trim a bit of the lenght off later.

Sooooo, I forgot to take a picture of makeing the front flap for the bag. Since I used up the 10 image limit of the post, I'll make a drawing of how I made that later.

Thank you for reading! I know it's not a very comprehensive tutorial, but it's fun so oh well! Maybe in the future I'll make a better post about it.

unsure if my ask went thru bc i didnt see the popup that said it sended over so i’m typing it out again

i NEEED NEEDD a tutorial on how you draw & design mechs bc the way you draw them is literally perfection in every way. this is from an anon who wants to make mech ocs but is unsure where to start theyre so complicated to design

dusting off my tutorial brain

my style of mech is very influenced by transformers (mix of different continuities and tf artists that I like) so I look at a lot of characters for inspiration

There's a lot of stuff you could add to it too like vents, pipes, antennas, fins, wires, joints, etc..

First have a Chris as a glowy confused secretary bird. I just think he's neat. X3

Next, have a MerMartin. I dreamed a villain wanted to use the creature power suits to show off at their freakshow with other "weird" animals, so they went to Zach for his disruptors and Martin got turned into half a goldfish by accident and became an instant hit being a cryptid and all. Too late for mermay I suppose. Might play around with this one.....

COMMON TERMS IN EDITBLR & THEIR MEANINGS. — guide by Aria.

* this post includes long texts.

KIN / ME TAGS

usually used by fictionkins who dont like doubles. "No Kin/Me tags" means you cant tag the character in the post as your kin, nor as "you", "irl you", or similar, usually due to the OP being uncomfortable with it. just respect it.

F/O TAGS

f/o (standing for fictional other; a character one selfships with, often romantic but can also be platonic, familial, or more) tags are essentially the same as the previous; OP probably is a self-shipper (also known as Yume, but could also be a Riako) of such character, and does not want other Yumes to tag the character as "their partner/wife/husband/love", or otherwise similar terms reflecting the user having a relationship with the character.

F2U or FTU

F2U, or FTU (standing for free to use) means... exactly what you think; usage of the creation posted is allowed to the public.

NF2U or NFTU

...the opposite. usage of the work is not allowed. the OP can sometimes also add "unless [user/name] afterwards, meaning only the one mentioned can use it.

CREDIT

pretty basic in every community. leave the OP's user somewhere visible; some have preferences of how they like to be given credit, such as; Linking, (linking their post or profile to a text, usually pinned post or your bio,) @'ing them, or just Adding their user somewhere visible (again, such as a bio or pinned post.)

REPOST & REBLOG

these two have a big difference. reblog is when you click the button on the app that looks like this -> 🔁, and repost is when you save the work and post it somewhere else. never repost someone's work unless they allow it, but reblogs are always nice.

PLAIN TEXT / TRANSLATION

tons of people here use typing quirks and/or fonts that some cant read, find difficult to read, or break screenreaders, which obviously bothers them a lot. plain texts/translations are versions of the same texts that are easier to read, having no typing quirks, fonts, symbols, or whatever was making it difficult/impossible to read and such.

PSD

stands for photoshop document. can be used on photopea or photoshop. when using these, it saves the project file and when opened has each layer, instead of the flat image. the term PSD is often used for colorings that alter the colors of your picture to custom ones with settings made by the creator, but it can be used for anything.

^^ NOTE: read this please ^__^ my wording came out wrong but this kind person explained. it better

USING AS BASE

commonly used for psds. this means you cannot grab the psd, and... use it as a base, adding your own layers to it and making it your own.

if any of these are incorrect shoot me an ask and i'l change it asap. thanks.

Would you recommend the new Nikki game to a newcomer that has 0.0% experience with the series?

I dont think I ever really played anything like it (even though I do tend to dabble with just about everything that isn't horror) and I am curious about it.

Also, is it as bad of a timesink, "Login in every day! Play me, play me, play me!" kind of thing as some other gachas are?

no

Dank farrik 🙈 I tried to make a face by template concepting video à la Eobe and it turned out fun chaos so I have to show it! 😂🙏✨

I picked Crosshair, because he‘s got the most uncommon clone face shape in my opinion and because he got to few friendly attention from my side in the last time (only fun attention, poor kitty Croissant actually not sorry) AND OF COURSE he jinxed it 🖤💀

While drawing I collected my thoughts, fails and drawing frustrations and I drew little funny extras so that it‘s possible to read decipher the notes despite the rush of the timelapse 😀 And I already thought yeah, this is getting a messy thing… 👀

… AND THEN my screen bugged and crashed my brush!! 😱😂 Aaahh sweet chaos! But great, I go for it, let’s look how far I get before my drawing device starts burning or something 🤷🏽‍♀️

Is making ‚Fun drawing process à la Eobe‘ a thing? 👀 I giggled and definitely had fun like a child playing and hope you have fun with my weird and quite ADHD coded timelapse too! 😂 And also I hope besides fun, it’s maybe a bit inspiring to try out (what was the original intention before I noticed that it’s getting chaotic 😅)

The result is super messy speedy hatched Crosshair! And I kind of like it! It’s hiv vibe 🤷🏽‍♀️ So have a look:

The finished colored Crosshair get‘s his own posting, grumpy sniper deserves it and a hug 🖤✨I think he wrote the ALT text

Vod, vor entye for giving me the push to do this and sharing @wings-and-beskargam 💙✨🫶 This is the way!

Nix, here it is, have a ☕️ to that dry 🥐✨ @crosshairs-dumb-pimp-gf
