hi everyone, long time no see! but don't you dare think i just layed in bed and let my worthy time waste away (i did that the week before) !!! i actually had my first official (paid:o) internship week and slowly but surely i will guide your through my time there and show u all of the exercises i did!

i hope it might help a few of u and if u want to, feel free to try some of those exercises yourself!!

!!!! I just really have to add: i'm not the best at explaining and generally, when explain my code on this blog, i actually try to explain it to myself! if you don't understand what i'm talking about or if you think something is wrong, pls feel free to hmu and tell me about it:)

Every "cool" clone name should come free with an embarrassing backstory imo. Nobody's gonna reverently call you "Rex" because you did something impressive, I mean, come on

Theres a hidden flower crown in inquisition???

YES. it's maybe one of my favourite quests in the game because it reminds me of weird rumours you'd hear about games in the 00s.

if you find a specific rock in the emerald graves and jump on it like 50 times you'll hear a disembodied voice. if you bring it 10 crystal grace it'll say some more weird lines about going downstairs. after that, if you walk through a false wall hidden in empris du lion you'll find a giant dark flight of stairs that you need to walk down for like 3 minutes. once you reach the bottom you'll hear the voice again and be gifted the flower crown. this all sounds crazy and fake but it's real and i'm obsessed with it.

the description is also really funny. i love whatever gay ass orlesian needed this accessory

Leverage 5x3- "The First Contact Job"

[briskchips]

HELLO!! big fan of your animatics!! How do you make them and do you have any tips for inspiration, planning, and what software do you use?

Thank you! I'm glad you like them!

I think the realization that revolutionized the way I think about storyboarding the most is that you HAVE to let your imagination drive. I start off every animatic with super loose, super messy, barely legible sketches, with wrong anatomy, janky movement, etc. Instead of focusing on making it look good, I can just focus on setting it up for its potential, and starting my motivation at the highest point it can be. I never let my first draft take more than a few hours over the course of like 2 days max, or else the drive dissipates.

If I start a board right away with the cleanest, most beautiful art I can muster, I'll kill my own motivation, like "Oh god, in my head, I imagined a huge spinning 3D camera shot here, with a bunch of dancing characters. That last panel alone took me like 30 minutes to draw, I don't wanna do this! I'll draw a simpler, flatter scene instead." and then it ends up looking nothing like how I imagined, and I get demotivated before abandoning the project. But if I start with super messy lines, just barely enough to get the idea out onto a screen where I can watch it, the excitement and imagination will drive, like "Wow, this shot with a huge spinning 3D camera and all these complicated characters looks SO COOL! It's gonna take a lot of work, but look how interesting it looks already! I can't give up on this!"

For reference, this was puppet boy's first draft!

Storyboarding is a bit different from a lot of other visual art mediums because it takes a LOOOOT more work before it starts feeling rewarding. Learning to manage your own motivation is a huge part of building the skill that I feel a lot of people don't mention.

But when it comes to learning how to finalize it, study up on your storyboarding rules! Learn about perspective, anatomy, screen direction, and learn to draw FAST (that's a big one). Draw out shots from your favourite movies, study their composition and take note of their camera/character movement, and how it aligns with the shots sandwiching them. Learn from other artists (I recommend Toniko Pantoja, he's a very experienced board artist who makes a lot of videos abt improving your boards and what it's like to work in the industry), and PRACTISE! Your first piece of art, whenever you try anything new, is going to SUCK. You're gonna think its bad. That's just how art goes. But the next time you do it, you'll always, always, improve, even if just a little, even if you can't see it for yourself.

The biggest thing to keep telling yourself when making storyboards is DON'T GIVE UP YET. YOU'RE SO CLOSE TO MAKING SOMETHING COOL. And then you have to keep telling yourself that over, and over, and over, and over, through all the sighs, and the frustrated rage-quitting, and the exhausted temporary give-ups, and then eventually, those animatics you keep building in your head get to be real! And it feels incredible.

july internship 1, Java

after getting to know the language itself and giving myself an overall understanding of it, i started with my first task:

Let your program print out every number from 1-100. If the number is dividable by 3, the program has to print "Fizz" instead of the number. If it is dividable by 5, it has to print "Buzz". If both (dividable by 3 & 5) apply, it has to print "FizzBuzz".

(if i explain smth wrong or if you know easier ways to solve that task, please feel free to comment or text me! i'm more than open for help!)

Well that's how i did it:

first off i went and created an integer variable "num" with the value 100

i built a for loop starting from 0 on and told the program to keep going until it went up to 100 ("<=" means i want it to stop at exactly 100, "<" would end at 99)

inside of the for loop i put a few if statements in

the 1st if tests whether the current number is dividable by 3 and 5

here i put "if (i % 5 == 0 && i % 3 == 0)"... why?

-> "i" is the variable for the number that is "being tested" rn. We want to find out whether it is dividable by 5. For that we use "%".

This means, let's say i=2. How often does 2 fit into 5? 2 times. This results to 4 (2+2=4, another 2 won't fit into 5). now 5-4=1 soooo 2 % 5 == 1. 1 is the rest.

So , back to my code: to find out if "i" is dividable by 5, i%5 has to be equal to 0. If i%5 has any rest, it means that it is not dividable by 5. Same with 3 ofc.

The && here just means "and".

so.. long story short: IF "i" is dividable by 5 AND 3 print "FizzBuzz" (instead of "i") and go on to the next number. if it is not, go into the next if statement

the next "else if" statements say: if it is not dividable by 5 AND 3, is it dividable by 3/ 5 only? IF yes, print "Fizz"/ "Buzz" and keep going with the next number, else: go into else statement

the last else statement says: if you didnt apply to the first few if statements, just print "i"

.. well and that's about it:) programming this one was really fun and i enjoyed sound it so much ahh🩷🩷🖤

I miss the brothers. Tell me a fun fact about any of them?

Anon I would like to apologize to you in advance for leveraging your ask for this debauchery but people wanted to know the hex codes for the color of their tips and I am nothing if not committed. Have an overly detailed description of the vanpeens:

Lucien: #9F6358. Thick and heavy and BULGING. Is that a nuclear missile in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Lots and lots of veins. Dark red happy trail.

Marcel: #CF9A97. Paler than you'd think but honestly, checks out. Veins for days. Long and slender. Neatly trimmed happy trail.

Vermilion: #D19496. Long and curved just right, and really, really pretty. Like, why aren't you on reddit bragging about it pretty (he is). Happy trail that reminds you of the color of his eyes. Tip has a pearly shine to it. Veins perpetually throbbing.

Sylas: #BA6A65. Girthy enough you wonder if it hurts to walk. Had to have his armor specially made and it still wasn't enough, probably. Flushes an angry red when desperate. Better give him what he wants soon. Heavy balls

Eris: #CF8080. Also flushes a reddish pink but not as much as Sylas's (as everything between those two, yes this is a competition). A rather lovely vein running down the length of it. More on the slender side, curved upwards a little.
