#faded colour tutorial

[sleepyangelkami]

hiii, I am writer 2 and I wanted to know how to get my colors like that, to fade and look different like yours

hello angel! I use this website (click the word 'this' it'll take you to it) you pick your colours, type out your words and click generate colour faded text. then you're gonna wanna go ahead and copy the long link in the box it generates. when you switch back to tumblr, create a post and click the little settings button. here, you can scroll down to text editor and change "rich text" to "HTML" and only then do you paste your long link. click back to rich text and everything should be perfect!! 🩷

Hi, hello, hi. Art question! How do you do gore so well cause I’ve been try to figure it out, and it’s so damn hard, lol.

Could you give an explanation or something plzplzplzplzzzzz? Ty :3

Hope you’re doing well -anon

Here's a nondescript gut, and all the layers of it separated:

First off- guts are shiny, the more wetness effect you can achieve the better! ✨ Secondly, organs aren't just red and pink! The more colours you can add into the organs, the more realistic they'll look: Blueish, grey, dark red, browns, purpleish, a faded or muted pink, etc.

Now- of course, if you're going for something more "fun" or a cartoonier style, this doesn't technically have to apply! 💚

Here's some gut colours, and what a little blood and shine can do to them!

Smudge tools and highlights are your BEST FRIENDS with gore, and honesty the lazier your smudging, the better, guts are messy, so make a mess!

I grew up in a hunting family, so I did always have good reference material on hand! <:]

If you can stomach it, great references are: 🩸

Medical injury forums/images

Tutorial videos on how to clean/dress an animal you’ve caught hunting (gutting and skinning tutorials)

Gory movies!

That sound a lil too out of your personal comfort zone? More good references are: 🥩

Raw meat! Raw meat is a great reference for how muscles work, and how they are supposed to look colour-wise and otherwise!

*There’s quite a few organ meats (offal) that people consume! So honestly, just search images of “organ meats”! You’ll get a variety of gut colours, beautifully plated, and possibly garnished ✨🍽️🌿

Other people’s art styles! Look at a bunch of internet images for Goretober or just study an artist’s gore style you love! Compare the way multiple people draw viscera, cuz there’s no right way! :D

Gory video games / look up some horror game death scenes!

More fun touches, if you’re going the realistic route, are veins and fat deposits! :] ^

See the use of different gore colours and the veins, in this piece?

I can also do a mini tutorial on blood splatter, if you guys want. But there’s also tons of even more in-depth ones out there! Just search up blood splatter tutorials! 🩸 I like to make my blood and goop, stringy, when it comes to guts -v-

I’ll say once more, there is no right way to draw viscera! This is just how I do it, and what I can provide from what I’ve learned! Have fun!!

Now go forth and disturb people! 🩸✨ /j

Really hope you guys like this, and woo first piece for earthspark since I've started watching the series. Hope you guys enjoy the chaos which is to come.

________________________

The Malto's property is a busy one, Twitch yelling at the others as they practise. "Keep up slow poke Twitch's madly zips between the hay bales strewn across the yard, chassis buzzing with energy. "Gotta be faster than that, Jawbreaker!" She shouted gleefully, panels flared and fans roaring. 

Hashtag revved her engine competitively, darting around the yard in tight circles as she sought an opening to knock Thrust off his pedes laughter echoing from all of them. Nearby, Nightshade sculpted away as they planned out new projects. 

Dot smiles as she watches her kids run around the yard, and back and forth from the barn. "Play nice you lot!" She calls out while finishing her coffee. The sound of  propellers alerts her to Megatron's arrival. She looks out the other side of the widow with a smile as Megatron touches down. "Megs wasn't expecting to see you today" she calls out while walking out to meet him.

His optics scans the surrounding farmland, ensuring all remains secure within guarded borders, before his powerful lip components peel back in a fierce yet weary grin. "And risk missing the sparklings?" he retorts, striding over rust coloured soil towards the porch Dorothy stood on. 

His field pulses warmth upon seeing his friend, soaking in her calming company. “It is good to see you Dorothy” A gruff hum rumbles his massive frame, relaxing further.

"so optimus, has you playing babysitter today?" She asked with a smirk, trying to ruffle his plating. A scoffing snort bellows from Megatron's vents at the insinuation of playing nursemaid.

Twitch's laughter makes Megatron look up to watch as she flies around with Mo before their eyes and optics land on the ex-warlord. "Hi Mr Megatron!" A collection of voices call out, Dot laughs at her kids. "Believe it or not they seem to enjoy having you around, think they like you better than OP '' she states smugly. A rare soft chuckle rumbles from Megatron's frame. "Well if the Prime cannot appease youthful tastes, it seems his title means less than once assumed," he replies loftily, it earns him a small slap to his plating from Dorothy. 

Beside him, her own amusement rings sweet as Terran continues with their Shenanigans. Megatron's optics glint fondly. He didn't know how to voice his appreciation to the soldier turned ranger, she trusted him so willingly with her family and he would forever be thankful for that.  

Dot walks towards her work vehicle. "You gonna be alright dealing with all of them by yourself?. Alex shouldn't be far away" she replies while getting into the driver's seat and ready to head off to work. 

"Twitch Not fair only you and Nightshade can fly!" Hashtag calls out.

 

"Too bad bozo should have picked a better alt mode instead of a Ghost Van '' Twitch calls back as she takes off with their basketball before throwing in through the hoop.

This handful of newsparks posed no threat whatsoever, and he'd make sure they were protected while she was away.

"Worry not, I shall keep them entertained and out of trouble until your return" he rumbles, His massive frame shifts casually aside as Dot's vehicle rumbles past, optics following until taillights fade into rural tree line. Massive peds crunch soil as Megatron straightens, surveying once more. 

It's only once the kids mother has left do they go about doing their own things. 

Nightshade and Hashtag with little projects together. “Can you give me a tutorial on renovating?” Nightshade ask Hashtag as the two work away 

Jawbreaker finds himself sitting beside Megatron with Mo sitting in his lap. “But I never thought you had a grounded alt” Jawbreaker states while watching the ex Decepticon. “Much has changed since my time on cybertron and even while here on earth.” He starts. “I was once a miner, my Alt was that of a Mining Drill, it's only as of recently I've taken an alt mode of a flying type” he replies, a sad smile on his lips as he remembers. He's broken out of his memory when Twitch flies back in a panic. 

"There is someone on the property!, they didn't see me but i didn't stick around to get seen" She states and it makes all the young ones tense up. 

"You don't think it's GHOST again?" 

"It could be the neighbour!" Robbie states trying to calm everyone.

"Show me," he rumbles curtly to Twitch, striding toward the perimeter of the woodlands. His engine rumbles a warning growl. "Remain here. Stay out of sight, Little bird stay in drone mode in case it is GHOST."  The young terrans all retreat back into the barn watching. The wind whispers against his armour as he and Twitch move through the woods, Twitch stays close to Megatron's side hovering as they slowly scan the area. 

A loud whistle leaves a human as they move throughout the woodlands. "Bluey!" They call out while looking through the woods. "Blue! Come on!" They call before their eyes catch movements, they huff to themself moving closer hoping to find their dog. 

As they turn down another track they freeze when Scarlet optics linger on them, their body goes into fight or flight mode but instead of either they sand frozen to the spot hoping they hadn't been seen. Megatron freezes as well, optics narrowing to analyse the stranger before him. No weapon was drawn, but their presence alone was alarming. A low menacing growl rumbles leaves his intake, Twitch hovers over his shoulder plate quick to hide behind his back as she transformers, ember optics watching the human from behind Megatron as she clings to the large Mech. 

"Explain your business here, human," he demands. "You trespass" Twitch's faint glow flickers beside him, awaiting the answer that could mean swift action, depending on what the human said would decide how quickly she would fly back to the barn.

They fall to the ground moving backwards quickly. "BLUE!!" They shout loudly. The sound of heavy footsteps crunching against branches, leaf litter and rocks follow before a large cybernetic Dog stands in front of the human growling at Megatron. Its ears are pinned back as it barks loudly at the large Mech, guarding their human. 

Twitch's optics widen in shock. “No way you have a Robodog!” she squeals out in delight only for Megatron to make sure she stays behind him. 

 Megatron's optics narrow as he watches the Metal dog and vice versa. Bright blue optics watch his every move, the creature looked like a merge of cybertronian tech yet at the same time his scans said it was something different.

"Explain," he rumbles again, optics narrowing upon the trespassers. Loyalty to one's charge he respected, if nothing else. But his main concern was his charges and their safety. More footfall alerts Megatron to one of the children running towards them. Robbie pants as he catches up to Megatron, his eyes going wide when he sees his neighbour. “DON'T BLAST OUT NEIGHBOUR!" He yells loudly.

 

"You know them?" he asked Robbie who nodded. "Yea they leave across the woods, their another one of my Parents friend's!" He states only to flinch as the cyberdog sniffs him. its ears perk up and whines at the young man waiting for a pat. "Robbie?" The other human calls out in shock.

“Um Hey!, sorry about him” Robbie says sheepishly while patting the dog's face. "Um... when did you get a robot dog?" He asked his neighbour, they let out a groan as they continued laying on the ground. Crimson optics scan the pair, A rumbling purr vibrates his massive chassis, posture shifting from confrontational to watchful. "You seem acquainted. Explain yourselves further - why have these 'neighbours' not been introduced before now?" He asked Robbie. 

The young man turns back to Megatron. "Because the terrans are hiding from GHOST, Megatron," He states, but the shock of reality finally kicks in after he says those words. "We are all gonna be in deep shit when mom gets home," he says in a panic. Twitch perks up. "Ohhhhh, Robbie said a bad word! I'm telling mom!!" She shouts while flying out from behind Megatron's shoulder.

"Troubles abound it seems," he finally replies, his tone modulated into something approaching conciliatory. "Explanations are due. But not here, it isn't safe out here." Crimson optics scan the forest shadows. 

That's how they end up sitting in the Kitchen of the Malto's house with both Robbie and Mo, along with the Terrans watching them from windows and Megatron sitting on the ground beside the house watching. They slowly sip on their drink as the kids look at them with worry. "You're not going to tell anyone about the bots right?" Mo asked.

"What!, no, no! That would put Blue in more danger, I'm out here hiding him for the Government" they state. It makes all the terrans relax before questions fly about themself and their cyberdog. 

Megatron scans Blue appraisingly where the cyber-hound lies on the Doorstep near his Pede. He had never seen anything like this creature. He had his run in with turbofoxs and other creatures like on cybertron, but this one almost reminded him of Ravage in how protective they were of their human.

A sigh vents softly from Megatron's frame, he reaches out slowly running a servos over the dog's back which makes the mutt huff, before it rolls over in delight, soft chafing noises leave them. 

It's only when Alex returns that he realises something is up. "Kids... what's going on?" He asked his children. The older of the collect waves. "Um Hey Alex, you might wanna sit down" they call out to him. He nearly drops his shopping bags when he sees the Metallic Dog.

Enjoy the Art of Blue.

Cyber goth dress + my favourite way to make patches

I thrifted this dress a couple of weeks ago for £1. I believe it started life as some sort of costume, possibly a sexy firefighter, but the fabric is really good quality cotton, and I thought it had some cybergoth potential with the yellow and reflective bits. I also really like the metal fastenings.

I already had a high-viz coat in my wardrobe from when I used to go bicycling more often, so I was able to steal more reflective bits from that. Not yet sure what I'll do with them, probably cut interesting shapes and glue or sew them on. Photos with and without flash.

And then yesterday I got a half meter of cotton fabric for £1 which is an almost exact colour match, so I can make some stencilled patches.

I already had fabric paint at home, so this entire outfit has only cost me £2! Cybergoth clothing is usually super expensive.

There are lots of tutorials for making stencilled patches on YouTube, (@rattusrattus3 has some excellent ones) but I lack patience and don't like cutting out intricate pieces, especially for lettering, so I had the idea to use alphabet stickers. You can pick these up really cheap from your local pound shop or dollar store depending on where you're from. I think mine were 40p a packet.

Stick them to your fabric, use fabric paint and a sponge, then when you peel the stickers off you'll have the words in relief. You can go thicker than I have here to make the surrounding area totally opaque, but I like the edges being messy and faded out. These are both song titles from cyber/industrial bands that I like.

Here are some other examples that I've done in the past. These were all done with pound shop spray paint which isn't ideal for fabric, but it's cheap! You'll also get more of the original fabric colour showing through with this kind of paint, which is nice.

If you're using black fabric, gold or silver paint will generally work better than white. These are all Devin Townsend song lyrics.

The only negative to this method for some people may be that the letters will be very uniform, but I like that. And if you want to you can space them irregularly to break things up a bit. Or you might be able to find more interestingly shaped alphabet stickers than I did!

my lovely sweet angel victoria, i need to know how you do custom text colours for your fics im so sick of this ugly ass pink especially when it doesn’t match the rest of my blog 😭

— mira ^_^

okay i’m going to use this ask as an opportunity to give a step by step tutorial on how i do this <3 (on mobile is the only way i know how to do it, but i don’t think it’s much different from desktop). i get a lot of questions about this so i’ll try to break it down as easily as i could!

1.) in order to have your text a certain color besides the ones tumblr gives you, you have to do it on a browser, since you can’t do it in-app. all this means, is that you have to be logged into tumblr on safari, google chrome, or any online browser of your choice.

2.) once you’re logged in, you’re going to go to this website and type the text that you want to be colored in the text margin.

3.) once you type in your text, you’re going to choose the first colored box and you can either make your own custom color using the slider (i recommend copying the hex code and pasting it in your notes so you don’t lose that specific color), or you can choose from the default settings.

4.) if you want to make a gradient text, then you’ll choose the color you want the first color you chose to fade into. but if you just want the word, sentence, or paragraph to be all one color, then you’ll copy and paste the previous color code into the second box.

5.) once you have your text and your color, or colors selected, you’re going to press ‘generate’.

6.) after you do that, you’ll scroll down and see a whole bunch of coding (it’s usually in a grey box).

7.) you’re going to tap it and press ‘copy’.

8.) now, go to the window where you’re logged into tumblr, and press the pencil icon so you can make a post.

9.) before you paste anything, you’re going to press the setting icon in the upper right corner, and find the box where it says ‘rich text’.

10.) once you find it, you’re going to press it, and choose the option that says ‘HTML’

11.) after you choose that option, now you can paste the coding from the website.

12.) it’s going to look like a lot, but once you save it as a draft, it’ll be your text in your desired color.

i hope this was clear and helpful! if you have existing posts that you want to edit and make with a different color, you’re going to edit it on browser, choose the ‘HTML’ option and repeat. once you save the post, you can edit it and move the text around where you want it IN the tumblr app <3

Rose Ribbon Embroidery "Mini" Projects (for BABY NYFW) Part 2: Embroidered Bonnet

I decided semi-last minute to attend BABY's fashion show at NYFW!

BABY had mentioned in their NYFW brand description that their newest collection would be a return to their origins, as well as presenting archival items.

You have to dress to impress for NYFW, right? So of course, I had to pull out all the stops and wear my Rose Ribbon Embroidery.

Also at the last minute, I decided to make a few extra complementing items...

A matching RRE kumya JSK, and a bonnet.

What follows is more of a sew-along/journal rather than a tutorial or guide, mainly for my own memory's sake. But if you enjoy looking at my process (sometimes sloppy), I'm happy!

Also feel free to take a look at the more romantic process video I edited.

Part 1: Kumya JSK

Part 2: Bonnet (you are here)

This post will be my process pictures and notes for the bonnet, as well as a matching mask as a bonus.

I don't believe BABY released matching headwear for Rose Ribbon Embroidery, although I've seen an unknown velveteen headbow with rose lace sold with RRE before.

BABY usually coords RRE with the bunny ear bonnet since Ichigo wears it this way in Kamikaze Girls.

I do own this because I wanted to wear an Ichigo-like outfit at some point, but for this occasion I decided to do something different and make a "matching" embroidered bonnet.

I originally wanted to make a hard bonnet with a very defined brim that could show off the embroidery clearly as I don't really like soft bonnets, but when looking at existing BABY bonnets as a reference, it doesn't look like hard bonnets were a thing back in 2004 (and as it is, BABY rarely releases hard bonnets). So to keep with the oldschool theme, the bonnet is a soft one, although I later make some decisions to make it slightly more structured.

The next decision to make was full bonnet vs half bonnet. The bunny ear bonnet is a full bonnet and I think this is technically more "period accurate", but I am not a fan of how they look like a weird hood from the back so I opted for half (plus, that makes construction and patterning easier for me).

I still used my own bunny ear bonnet as a reference for approximate brim dimensions!

The kumya JSK was a little easier to carelessly sketch out and embroider since I was copying 1:1 from an existing design, but I felt I needed to do at least a bit more careful planning for the embroidery on this. I'm quite bad at creating embroidery designs from scratch, but with the mental image of the rose clusters and swags of vine, as well as referencing the embroidery from the film, I came up with this:

I wanted to emulate the embroidery style of the Momoko's (well, in reality likely the embroidery designer Onoe Megumi--unclear if she did the actual embroidery, but it's likely) embroidery, which I figured wouldn't be too difficult if I was also embroidering by hand.

For material, I am using the same velveteen I used for kumya's JSK. Not my first choice and I actually purchased some thicker looking 100% cotton velvet that I thought would be more similar to the original JSK material, but was worried it wouldn't arrive in time and wanted this project out of the way in case things went wrong/took longer than I expected (it did arrive about a week before the event, but it was totally wrong IRL so I'm glad I just went with this acceptable option). I also bought some more torchon lace, so I used that and another lace from my stash.

The colours of the embroidery in the film also seem to be quite different than BABY's dress. I'm not sure if the pink of the roses has faded over the years, but it has a slight salmon tone whereas the film's roses seem to be more of a pale cool/neutral pink (hard to tell with the yellow tint of the entire film) with some variegation. I love the colour scheme of the film's embroidery, but to keep things coordinated I try to opt for the same colours as the actual dress I have.

I only have white silk ribbon in the width I wanted, so I opted to attempt to dye it to match. Previously I have used alcohol markers to colour the embroidery afterwards, but I find the colour hard to control and it tends to bleed into the fabric. I've also tried colouring the ribbon with the marker before embroidering, but without heat setting the colour transfers onto the fabric as well (and it seems like trying to do so with the amount of ribbon I need would be a waste of ink).

I don't have a lot of experience with it, but since the ribbon is silk, acid dyeing seemed like the way to go.

Very interesting photo of ribbon in pot (the pink ribbon gets eaten up by pinwheel roses much faster than I expected so this is the second batch I had to dye--not ideal as they are definitely slightly different in colour but it's not too noticeable). In total, I think I had to dye 3 batches of ribbon and 4 for the pink ribbon as I just barely ran out near the end, and they are all slightly different colours. Thankfully the undertone is the same so it's difficult to tell unless you are really comparing up close.

I thought I would take this opportunity to use the "peach" acid dye that I bought years ago for another project, but this ended up being a mistake as the colour was totally off (maybe the red dye was too expired). I ended up using my regular fiber reactive procion dyes (with heat/acid), because I have many more colours I could mix together, and that was much better. I really should have done this from the start as I wasted perfectly good silk ribbon by making it too dark/off for my purposes (I ended up overdyeing it in pink so it's a usable colour now, but not for this project).

The silk seems to take on dye extremely fast--even just heating up the dyebath will colour it. In some cases I removed the ribbon before adding any acid at all because I felt the ribbon was already getting too dark.

I managed to get a fairly usable mossy green colour for the leaves and vines, however the pink still ended up being a little off/dark compared to whatever BABY used. It's not too bad here as one strand of ribbon, but when many layers are on top of each other in a rose it seems pretty dark. While not ideal, I think it's still okay, especially considering the embroidery colours used in kumya's JSK match nothing else (many pinks will be going on in this coord).

After dyeing and drying, the ribbon is super wrinkled so I ironed it and wound it on some spare card so it's ready to use.

And now I can start the arduous process of embroidery.

Like before, I mainly use a combination of ordinary ribbon stitches, pinwheel roses, and french knot roses. However, this time I try harder to duplicate, or at least evoke the appearance of the embroidery of the film.

It's interesting how plain and somewhat boring the roses look on their own, especially with this monotone colouring. The varied colours of the film's embroidered roses are lovely, but I decided against it here because the BABY dress has monotone ribbon roses.

The roses definitely seem to just be pinwheel style which is very easy and doable, however I am a bit more confused about the leaves. They look like a number of straight stitches in various lengths and directions that fill in a leaf-like shape. I have no idea if this technique has a name and if there is a proper method for it, because I am a silly beginner who is very uneducated in embroidery.

Anyway I do my best and hopefully I got close enough. Ribbon embroidery is really all about the texture, which is really lovely to look at. Except I have trouble looking at my own work for too long because I start nitpicking all the mistakes I made...

Adding the green and leaves really helps the embroidery come to life.

I took even fewer pictures of the embroidery process than kumya's JSK this time because it's not that interesting. I was definitely getting sick of doing the same pinwheel over and over...

I stupidly decided that aside from embroidering the front of the brim, I also wanted a little bit of embroidery on the back of the brim for interest, as well as on the side.

The designs I drafted out for these two pieces is much simpler, but still, more work....

Almost ready for construction! Hopefully a lot faster with the handwork out of the way.

I iron on some interfacing onto the back brim panel and the bonnet band for slight extra stiffness.

The bottom part of the brim is plain cotton sateen because I was worried that the part that touches the head would get dirtier more quickly it if was velveteen.

I wanted some lace gathered around the brim and an extra velveteen ruffle on the back of the band, so I prepare that now. The lace is gathered with a single gathering thread and sewn down before sandwiching between the two brim panels.

Brim sewn and topstitched (and band is ready for attachment).

The upper flowers ended up a little closer to the top of the band then I intended, but I think it's okay.

Gathering brim and attaching it to band. Because the velvet fabric is so thick, the usual "sew one line of stitching with a wide stitch length" not only made the fabric incredibly difficult to gather, but the thin polyester thread also continually broke when trying to do so. Therefore, I opted for an alternative method I think I'd remember seeing in my sewing machine manual of all things--a zigzag carefully stitched over a central gathering thread. This worked much better, although I probably should have used a thicker/extra strong thread as the central gathering thread because it did break the second time I had to gather the brim due to a mistake.

I also add a bit of lace to the inside of the brim. I think this adds some luxury and frilliness between the head and the bonnet's brim, so I wanted to add a small width. I probably could have used even more of the lace's width since it turned out very subtle when worn. But I still think it adds a small amount of interest to the innermost part of the brim and was worth adding.

Unfortunately here after sewing on both brim parts I realize that I gathered both using an incorrectly marked centre line, so I had to rip it out and do it again ;_;

Next, I can carefully align and pin the bottom of the brim to the bonnet and sew it down. I tack this down by hand because I'm not skilled/accurate enough with a sewing machine to topstitch both sides nicely at once (look closely, and my messy stitching is quite visible...)

I also fold in the raw edges and finish the sides of the brim by hand, leaving some openings for ribbon ties.

At this point I spray almost the whole bonnet with water to disperse and fade my markings. Unfortunately, some of the earlier batches of ribbon that I dyed (Can you tell the variance in the 3 dye batches I needed to do?) were probably not washed well after dying and seem to have bled into the fabric from the water...but hopefully it's not too noticeable.

Next I topstitched all around the brim and attached the ribbon ties.

I bought some double sided velvet ribbon in my last minute supplies shipment and made some bows from it. I think the material is a little thick and petersham would have worked alright as well, but the consistent velvet material feels more luxurious, doesn't it? I also think as an added benefit (?) the ribbon being plush and double sided made the bows more puffy looking.

I add some clips to the sides and a toupee clip to the top for security. I opted for a toupee clips because I think it's really the way to go if you don't want the head item to move at all, no matter how thin or slippery your hair.

Finished.

Bonus 1: rose accent pin

I was in a bit of a rush at this point as it was near the end of the week coming up to the show, so I didn't take any photos of the process here but the technique and templates I used were identical to my handmade faux rose rosettes I made for UM (and the bonus corsages). I have a post with all the details of this sitting in my drafts that I will post eventually, and I will update this post when that happens.

The brooch was just meant to add a bit of 3D faux flower accent to the bonnet, bringing in the rose motif even more. Partially inspired by the faux flowers BABY adds to their bonnets sometimes, like on Milk Tea Doll.

The fabric was "custom dyed" with the same fiber reactive dye I used for the silk. The fabric was further starched, cut out by hand, and shaped with flower iron tools before gluing together.

Bonus 2: matching embroidered mask

I wasn't sure about whether or not I wanted to wear a matching mask, but decided to do so for situations when I would want my face at least half-covered in public. I didn't really expect to be visible in fashion show pictures as someone in the back, but just in case. (I think this decision was worth it, although my makeup transferred all over the thing and in most pictures my face was even more unflattering. eh well)

I forgot to take a lot of pictures of my process for this, but it's very uninteresting and not dissimilar from every other mask sewalong from 2020. I draft out a design similar to the bonnet motifs on both of my mask panels (cotton sateen), and embroider.

I should have embroidered closer to the centre of the mask because when worn the embroidery is not very visible/covered by my hair at the sides. What can I do since the panels were already cut though...oh well!

The lining material is some Japanese CLEANSE Ex fabric I had bought previously to make masks during the pandemic. It's supposed to be antibacterial and antiviral, as well as washable, but I have no idea how well supported those claims are.

Sew together normally on both upper and lower sides, turn inside out, add a channel for nose wire and side channels for elastic.

I also have some mask elastic on hand so I use that.

And the finished outfit again with all my items~

Thank you for reading! If you ever feel inspired to take up a similar project, such as the kumya JSK, I'd love to see it!

2. put in your message

3. choose your number of colors, i usually do 2 or 7, depending on how much of a fading look i want, like the picture below! (i usually do 7 if i want a look like the second and third picture)

4. tap the big blue button “generate color faded text (i typically ignore all the other stuff, but you can fiddle with that)

5. tap on the “select all” button and control+c to copy paste the HTML text.

6. go to tumblr, create a new post, and tap the settings icon in the corner. scroll down until you find “text editor”. change it from "rich text" to "HTML".

7. go back to the new post you’ve created, and paste the HTML you’ve copy pasted. it should look really confusing lol, but then change the text type back to normal (sometimes you have to wait until it’s loaded, usually the “post now” button turns blue, or else it won’t show up)

8. it should be done!! you can copy paste the text you already have, but if you wanna add something new, you can to repeat these steps. you can also freely change the size, make it bold, make it italic, however you'd like! i hope this made sense ;3

Hii you're so talented!! i wonder if you could explain how you did this gif effect with the squares? and do you have any tips on colouring because yours is always top notch <3333

heyy thank you so much 🥹 and of course! i've never really done a tutorial before but i'll try my best to explain it in a way that makes sense ���

so i start off with making my two gifs seperatly and colouring them as i normally would, once i've done that i load both gifs into the same project and once i've done all that i started on the grid part:

now go to view -> add guides and this window should pop up:

(it's was so daunting at first when i saw this i was like ????? and started putting in random numbers and was like oh that's how this works 🤣)

here's the settings i used for my gif which is 540px x 500px in size with 5 squares x 4 squares: (if you want more or less you just have to play around with it)

once you've done that it should look something like this:

now the next part is really up to preference again: add a vector mask onto the gif that's above the other one like this: (ignore the name of my folder that is irrelevant 🤣)

and then i used the rectangle select tool (this is because the rectangle select should lock onto the grid squares making it easier to erase certain sections) + a black brush tool to erase the squares to show the other gif that's underneath (you can reposition both gifs to your liking which is what i did)

before & after:

so my vector mask looks like this afterwards

(you don't have to do the squares so close together like i did it was just how i liked it & because of the scenes i had chosen that mine turned out this way)

now onto the grid lines: i used the line tool with these settings

just like with the rectangle select tool the line tool should lock onto the grid line you want to redraw, do this for every line that you want/have for your grid & once you're done go to view -> clear guides and it should look something like this: (added a version with just a black background so it can be seen a little easier)

(i'm ngl idk why my lines ended up kinda faded and not white 🤣 i think it might be because i used a white fill instead of white stroke but it doesn't really matter to me because i got my ideal outcome anyway 🤣)

bonus step: you can stop here if you'd like but i wanted my lines to match my colouring & my intended typography so i put all my line layers into a folder and set the mode to difference & added a yellow fill layer with a clipping mask, like this:

and it should look like this:

you can also play around with the opacity of the lines too which is what i tried out but i prefered for my set the lines being at 100% opacity but it's really up to you with what you want to play around with

now once you're happy with everything merge those layers together (make sure they have the same amount of frames first before merging them) and either save as it is or add some typography like i did and you should end up with this:

for tips when it comes to colouring it really depends on what you're colouring, if you want to manipulate the colours as much as i do i recommend choosing a colour within the scene so you're not having to change too much, or finding scenes that have colours that can be manipulated more easy (any colour that aren't skin tones, unless you're working with red or yellow like i did here, i chose yellow because one of the outfits in the gif was yellow toned and it looked better with the gifset being yellow than my original colour which was blue), also looking for scenes were the people in it don't move as much also is a big help!

i hope this helps :) feel free to ask more questions if you didn't understand or want some more tips i honestly don't mind!

Hi, i love Regina gifset especially the text

https://www.tumblr.com/itwasmagic/749567705846251520/i-am-what-i-am-cause-you-trained-me?source=share

would you please post a tutoria for making this text with those colors?

hi! thank you so much, I've never been asked to do a tutorial before 🥹🥹 this is pretty easy but i overexplain things so if it doesn't make sense just let me know!

&& please let me know if this worked ok for you!

*assuming whoever is reading this already knows how to make a gif in photoshop*

I'm pretty sure I used the font Elephant for this set that you linked.

tl;dr if you have a lot of photoshop/text editing knowledge already: create a layer of text > duplicate it > select the bottom layer > go to blending options > add a stroke > ok that > set the layer fill to 0% > reposition the layer a couple of nudges to one side and a couple of nudges down > select the top text layer > go to blending options > add a drop shadow > add a gradient > ok that > set the top layer to difference > enjoy <3

if you want a more in depth tutorial with screenshots:

add your text to your gif with whichever font, size and placement you like

make sure the first text layer you want to edit is selected and press ctrl+J to create a copy of the layer (or right click > duplicate layer... > ok)

select the first text layer again

double click the layer (or right click > blending options), tick the stroke box and use these settings:

press ok

change the fill to 0% (leave the opacity at 100% because you still want the layer itself with the stroke/outline to be opaque but you want the text colour/filled in part of the layer to be transparent)

make sure the 'move' tool is selected

use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the text layer with the stroke (i did 3 to the left and 3 down but do whatever works with your chosen font and size (edit: i think i moved it a few nudges right for the original set rather than left just make it up as you go along with me jfngkf)). it should look like this:

select the duplicated layer you made above the first one

double click the layer (or right click > blending options) and tick the box for drop shadow. I pretty much always use these settings:

then tick the box to add a gradient overlay, it doesn't matter which colours or angle you use, you can play around and adjust it to whatever makes sense with your gif, so if you think the gradient would look better horizontal or vertical or at a different angle, just change the number of degrees it's at until you like it.

click the coloured box next to the option that says 'Gradient:' and this box should pop up:

to change the colours click the little coloured box under the gradient bar you want to change then the box underneath called 'Color:' should light up for you to click on, then either pick a colour or paste in the hex code

for the colours in the set you linked i used #9fb552 for the lighter green and #2f4f2b for the darker green then press ok

if you want to adjust the colour fade, you can drag the coloured squares along the bar or click somewhere just under the gradient bar to add another colour (you could add a third colour or another shade of the same colour, play around until you like how it looks! you can always go back into it at the end and keep adjusting once you can see how the whole thing looks put together.)

ok everything when you have it how you want it, then your text should look like this:

now change the blending on that same layer to 'difference'

the text should now look like this:

*note, the colours may change when they're blended differently, so like i said earlier you can go back and play around with the colours or shade you picked until they match your gif

if you have another text layer you want to look the same rather than repeating all of the steps, duplicate that one too, use the move tool to reposition the lower layer again and right click > copy layer style > right click > paste layer style on the corresponding layers

now when you play your gif, the text should look like this:

and you're done!

an idea in f.....

Pairing:  Carol Danvers x F!Reader

Summary: Carol loves working out, and you love f*cking her.

Warning: (18+), explicit words, smut, voyeurism, fingering, cunninglingus, just filthy | 3k words

| C.D. Masterlist | Notify | Navigation |

She’s beautiful, you thought at first. Mind flourishing in colourful words alike flowers, blooming of thoughts surrounding her; so beautiful, so perfect, so kind, so cute, so everything and more.

All while you remained seated on a chair few steps away from her. Round eyes widening at each motion, pupils dilated at that, lips pursed firmly, and hands clenched securely by your sides. Just watching her. The scenic view of her sculptured arms elevating her body forward then lowering herself with a sturdy intensity at each repetition.

At first and at last, those words so syrupy and pleasant fades into murmurs of some sort.

In the background, muffled by her slight grunt and your phone that was left forgotten on the desk with a tutorial video playing on repeat—and yet, the loudest sound was your thoughts swirling around her, fluttering of words far from the syrupy expressions that describes her.

Fucking Carol Danvers.

She’s so fucking beautiful, so fucking hot, so fucking delicious. That one profanity resonates in your mind, fuck, fuck, and you were still silently admiring her from your situated place. Perhaps, admiring wasn’t parallel with the thoughts that spew at fuck. You were shamelessly staring at her, gawking at her sweaty body, and consumed in everything that would ruin her focused state of mind.

Carol had been attentive since the start of the morning. Though, she was kind, sparing few minutes for cuddling before your body was deprived from her warmth and she was ushering you awake for breakfast. A conversation soon followed over breakfast, the talk of her recent work and your mouth cursing at her obnoxious habit of drinking from the milk carton. The seconds after where Carol pressed her body into yours, lips hovering teasingly over your gaping mouth, and her ridiculous attempt of kissing away your annoyance.

It worked. Fucking Carol Danvers with her charming smile and her addicting lips.

Her mouth claiming yours, hands grasping your waist, seemingly pressing bodies impossibly closer till your back had hit harshly against the counter edge. Slender fingers toyed with the elastic of your shorts with the occasional sly stroke of her fingers over your exposed skin. Chest heaving at the touch that drew sounds from your throat—and she stopped.

That aggravating smirk on her face surfaced just seconds before she was walking away, resuming her morning routine, and abandoning your warmed body from her touch.

You’re so annoying, you spat after recovering from the intensity of her mouth over yours. Only her touch could draw such waves of sensation over your body.

However, Carol appeared seconds after your outburst with the softest smile curling at her lips. It was that smile which made aware of your heart thumping in your chest from the first time you saw her and that same smile only shared with you. Carol ushered you over with a secretive wave which you easily followed and she pulled your body into another kiss, the kind that expressed the love in her heart for you.

There was always something special about you and her. A love that meant everything. Moments shared of playful banter while some roused slight anger, but never for either to sleep without resolving the issue, and the endless sound of laughter that made your body warm with joy.

It's just that expression of care, love, gentleness, and those same words subdued into much filthier thoughts by your current fixation.

Carol was just there, wasn’t she?

The same routine that aligned perfectly with her schedule. Her usual workout for the day which shouldn’t stir your insides with such want, the lust that quirks the corner of your lips as your teeth nimble on your bottom lip. A certain kind of warmth embracing your body, as if, you were exercising your body to exhaustion.

But it was just Carol and a metal bar that hardly served as a challenge to her body. Where her hand was firmly grasping the lengthy bar, swinging her body upwards then retaining that position for several seconds before lowering her body leisurely. She was simply executing a simply pull up exercise. It was easy for her, she’d proudly state.

While you were still there, simply admiring her fucking beautiful physique.

Her back faced you. The perfect view to observe her back muscles contracting at each pull variation. Your round eyes focus on a contour of muscle then following each curve that led to another astounding illustration of strength. It was ridiculous how her skin was gleaming with sweat, easily capturing her muscles like glazed work of art.

The determination that set at phase as she pushed her body, unbothered of the sounds she made or her sweat descending from her body to the ground, where the carpeted floor appeared damp. Alternatively, another kind of uneasy wetness embraces your body as well, only compelling your body to shift awkwardly in hope of easing that feeling.

Fucking Carol Danvers in her flimsy sports bra that barely concealed her magnificent back. Her well-defined muscles faulting beneath thin straps of cotton, relentlessly teasing you from afar. While the front paraded in the same fashion of tantalising you. Her round breast hugged the material, by passing the edges where her breast was almost spilling, and your mouth watered at the sight. The morning she walked into the kitchen with that top, you almost dropped your bowl of cereal. It didn’t conceal your imagination of what was supposedly hidden behind the sporting wear.

And fucking Carol Danvers with her toned legs, perfectly fitted into the most skin-tight leggings. Her muscular quads that seem ready to rip apart the slim material and the emphasised view of her rounded ass. It doesn’t hinder the muscles on her legs from flexing nor does your yearning to feel her beneath your touch.

It was fine. You were fine.

Phrases of such strains your throat from a sound aching to escape at the sight of your girlfriend.

Fucking Carol Danvers and her never ending necessity to dress herself in the most appealing gym clothes. The sole reason of your increasing need to feel her.

“I’m done,” Carol’s voice droned through the room, soon followed by echoes of her hand clapping in finality to her exercise. “You hungry, baby? I’m starving. Maybe we can try that new place…”

The sound of her voice, always speaking with clarity and tender, drifts away as your thoughts that flourished of her, only cultivates when she turned around. Eyes widening at the sight of her standing, gaze focusing on the sweat glimmering on her skin to the drops that led a trail to her core where her muscles appeared tense from her exercise. At each intake of breath, her abdomen muscles flexes into presenting each curve and definition of her muscles. Her abs appeared more defined now.

You heard her voice again after shamelessly sharing at her body. Words that laced of curiosity and questions of absent, then you slowly lifted your gaze to meet her intrigued eyes. It’s like Carol knew at that moment, you wanted nothing more than to touch her in every possible way, to feel the contraction of her muscles as she flexes to further instigate your   hunger for her.

And that fucking cocky grin emerges on her face.

Carol crossed her arms, her biceps bulging by the sheer concentration of her arms pressed closed to her body. “Like what you see?” she lowered her voice, teasing you as she takes a step forward.

Fucking Carol Danvers—and just being so aware of your obsession with her.

The mixture of her pride and your lust nearing annoyance at her reaction, an idea flashes in your mind that made effect of the nonchalant look on your face.

“Not really,” you claimed, feigning disinterred by the shrug of your shoulder and a soft sigh from your mouth. “It looks easy. I mean, weighted pull ups equal to more strength. Right?”

Doubt glazed her eyes while yours swirls discreetly of something more; a sinful thought, a sought of hunger, a necessity to feel her in every possible way, a fucking need to breath in her scent.

“But— that was good too,” Carol declared, her round eyes darting from your eyes to your mouth, then lingering solely on your face.

You had never hinder from cheering for her. The sly mentions of her strength for more than fighting crime as it translates easily to her in bed. Such compliments that flushed her skin and her words to sound disoriented with your hand wedge between her thighs, always praising her strength. This, however, wasn’t a reaction she had ever expected.

And it’s so fucking cute. Carol Danvers can be cute too, at times.

The pout on her lips warms your chest as with the little stomp of her feet as your revelation that further dissolves her supposed threatening guise. Her eyebrows furrowed, the lines over her forehead accentuated more at her want to attest what you had effortlessly proclaimed.

And it’s so fucking easy for her to fall clueless into your filthy thoughts.

“I could do another set,” Carol uttered at first. “Weighted pull ups this time,” she continued, slightly puzzled that your stance remained. “I’m strong, you know? I’ve done this plenty of times before,” she spoke softly, turning away as to prepare herself for another round and ensuring the difficulty was unlike her previous sets.

Carol has always been strong. Weighted or not weight pull ups doesn’t matter when she could easily travel back and forth through planets. Strength streams in her blood. It’s just that, her muscles and strength seem more prominent at times like this, that her own intelligence cease to exist. Nothing is impossible for her, that same phrase expressed through her actions.

You, on the other end, knows where and how exactly to have her crumbling at the mere touch of your hands.

“I have an idea,” you announced, lifting your temperate body from the chair, and sauntering to where she stood beneath the bar. “But you must stay in form…a little of and it’s done.”

Carol squints her eyes at your suggestion. “Okay…what are we doing?” she asked as her hand pressed gently over your arm.

You looked pointed ahead at the length bar and she followed your gaze. “Up. Come on. Quickly,” you added the last part with a little push towards her body.

She chuckles at your urgence, sharing a soft smile before listening to your command for her to move. Carol raised her arms then jumped, grasping the extensive bar in her palm. Pleased eyes meet yours, the same smile fixed on her face at the sight of you. Not a second after, her feet nudge playfully at your shoulder, rounds of laughter echoes in the room as you pushed her feet away with mumbles of how they stink.

As the sounds between you and her mellowed down, your hands spread generously on each side of her waist while your eyes stayed on hers. Carol’s eyes soften, her body melting into your touch as confusion aged into the comfort that filled her chest at the affectionate look in your eyes. Her mouth parted as a sound comes out but it wasn’t enough for her to utter her thoughts when she felt your thumb slip beneath the waistband of her leggings.

“Patient,” you murmured, hot breath fanning her exposed torso. “You’re a strong girl,” you continued, leaning closer to her tense abdomen as you pressed timid kisses over her glistening skin. The taste of her sweat lingers by your mouth, salty with the hint of her scent drifting to your nostrils, just anticipating for your mouth to ravel in her taste.

The build-up was extremely necessary. Carol staring into your eyes, those orbs swirling of questions that you paid no response towards. Another sound of command leaves your mouth that left obediently quiet and eyes wide as she observes you;

“Once you start, don’t stop till I tell you. One mistake or you do anything that I don’t want you to…I’ll stop. Understand?”

Carol nodded her head with a certain emblem of excitement. Immediately, she lifts her body upwards, and your eyes levelled rightly with her centre. You hand remained on her waist, moving effortlessly with her body, and generously tracing the skin beneath. Hums of sort leaves her mouth at your touch. The smooth transition of her body wavered for a moment when your hand pulls her leggings down as she lifted herself upwards.

The revelation of her golden curls made you sucked a breath. She wasn’t wearing anything beneath, directly revealing her damp curls caused by her sweat or more so, her arousal that fills the air, so wet and glistening beneath the overhead light as she lifted herself and perfectly exhibiting her gaping cunt.

“You were waiting for this,” you murmured, hot breath blows at her drenched cunt.

The statement offers nothing in response from your girlfriend. Your thumb pressed over her mound, her slick feels sticky and warm as you leisurely drag your thumb to her slit, and her body jerks in response. It’s always fascinating to witness her unfold before you, how her body simply melts at your touch, and she’s barely holding herself together.

A warning smile curls at your face, stern eyes meeting hers as she quietly lifted her body upwards and slowly lowering herself. Your fingers were aligned perfectly by her clit with your palm faced upwards, fingers slightly curl and enough for her heated cunt to graze the tip of your fingers.

You allow her this, helplessly bucking her hips to receive some kind of friction. The minimal touch seems wondrous by the sounds that escapes her mouth. Deep breaths at each push of her body, the shuddering of her shoulders as she moved just precisely to aid in her pleasure and the little gasps of moans.

And the fucking view of her.

Your girlfriend. Carol fucking Danvers.

It takes her so scandalous act and watching her intently as her chest rouse, lowering herself with such desire to drag her wet cunt over your hand—that your body warms with hunger and tantalizing the ache between your thighs. Your free hand slips into your shorts, toying with your clit in sluggish circles as you stared at her.

Wisps of blonde hair that clung to her forehead, the trail of sweat gleaming on her skin alike pearls scattered across her flushed skin. Carol was merely sated by the pad of your fingers or the seconds where her cunt claims a seat on your palm, rubbing her wetness to instigate an orgasm than spiralling from your torment. At such desperate time, she forgoes your order and remained over your hand without puling her body upwards again.

Then, your voice droning a sound of warning, uttered her name with such clarity that she decided, being obedient would grant her something. That your hands would simply grasp her body and fuck her senselessly.

“Fuck,” you muttered as your fingers skilfully led yourself into pleasure at the sight of her, and the sounds of her mumbling incoherent words.

This Carol, your girlfriend, always so strong and sturdy, but now, she emerges so helpless under your command. Just trying to chase after a high while you were reaching your own orgasm with her name tumbling out of your mouth.

Carol’s bleary eyes falls over your face then dropping her gaze on the bulge beneath your shorts where your hand stimulated your clit tenderly at the aftermath sensitivity of your release. The clear indication that you came by the source of her desperation.

“That’s not fair,” Carol huffed, then a helpless whine leaves her mouth when you abruptly remove your hand from her cunt.

She thinks of stopping again. You perceive the look of contemplation in her eyes and the look that sparkled in your eyes of wanting her like this. So desperately begging for more of you. Carol settled on enduring her exercise than acting against it.

It takes another push of her body for your hands to grasps her thighs, lifting them over your shoulder, your mouth parted as you laid feverish kisses on her exposed skin. You trailed wet kisses over the swells of her abdomen, nails scrapping over her skin gently and she squirmed at the feeling. Carol’s harsh intake of breath only flexes her muscles more. You feel her strong muscles contracting beneath your hands as you contentedly grope her body.

Now, staring directly at her glistering cunt, you breathed into her scent of something salty and sweet. Her gaping cunt stirs something within you as you licked a single strip over her folds and hastily pressed your mouth over her heated cunt. A hallow sound resonates through her body at the ministration of your tongue over her cunt and you felt each movement that only spreads the dampness between your thighs. The slight trembles of her legs, her clit throbbing as your tongue circles over it, and just her.

“Please,” Carol croaked out, tears blur with sweat cascading down her cheeks. Her shoulder jolts when she tried holding herself from falling at the sheer weakness you had forced upon her body, but your hands grasp her ass, pushing her upwards with a silent message to continue.

You could feel her thighs squeezing together with your head in between as you pry them apart before asserting your mouth where she needed it the most. A smile etched on your face while you ate her drenched cunt. Savouring every whimper which only encourage your tongue to tease her endlessly. You loved pushing her to her limit. To hear the scandalous sounds of her cunt squelching over your ministration.

The pain must be unbearable. Surely by the number of repetitions on a single exercise, and the later, your mouth latched on her delicious cunt. Worse or not, Carol could feel your tongue glide over her gaping hole, but never attempting to fill her, despite her trying to manipulate her body into fitting just right—just enough for your tongue to slip and for her to swear on a mistake.

You shifted from her flattering cunt, instead of admiring the look on her face, your eyes fell upon on her breast and remained there for the seconds after. Carol’s nipples protruded behind her sport bra. The thin material barely shielding the pebbles appearing around her nipples. The sight itself was pleading for your hands as you remove one hand from grasping her ass, trailing your hand to the expand of her back to the front of her breast and you grope her impatiently.

Carol released a series of moans. Her throat stings by the sounds that rushed as your fingers ruthlessly pulled at the material of her sport bra, succeeding in folding it upwards to reveal her right breast while the other spills weakly at the half-supported bra. You couldn’t bother for that, not when your hand was grasping her breast as your thumb and forefinger toyed with her nipples, inciting every sound possible from her mouth.

She was perfect. Her taste. Her sounds. You would have praised her and applaud her strength. The relentless training that prevented your hands from wandering more over her skin at the early morning, the want to watch her get undress and climb over your body as she rode you, and the loathed moments of bravery when she teased you.

So, your mouth devours her messily as a reward for acting obediently. Her juices smeared your chin, your thumb pressed into the deep of her hips that would surely leave crescent dents on her skin. Then, you felt her fingers tangled in your hair, your eyes wavering slightly as you shut them to savour her and not noticing how she had shifted to pulling herself with a single arm. Carol pushed your head further into her heated cunt as she rode herself over your tongue.

You witness a glow of some sort over your head. Carol, still pulling herself with the bar and persisting on pushing her body at each repetition, but with a single arm. And she was glowing. Her skin gleams of sweat while her eyes glow of a golden tinge, equally to her hand blazing in concentration of her exercise and you.

All caused by you.

You think, maybe, fucking Carol Danvers was the best thing in the entire universe. With that, you allowed her to reach that high she was chasing for so long, without another trick of leaving her whining for your touch.

Slowly, you eased her through her orgasm as she gently strokes your hair at the aftermath. You smiled when your tongue darts across your lips. The taste of her forever imprinted in your mouth. It felt like the most habitual thing between you and her. You pressed a final kiss to her cunt and teasingly lick her which incited a sound of complaint at her sensitivity.

It takes a soft hum from her for you to carefully gesture her into lowering her body till her bare feet hit the ground with a thud. Your hand grasps her waist immediately when she stumbles.

You take the time to admire Carol with her thighs over your shoulder, her glistering cunt just inches away from your face, and her beautiful, so fucking beautiful face.

The sight of her; strands of blonde hair sticking to her skin, right breast pouring out of her half-ridden sport bra, her legging hanging at one end of her feet, skin flushed and sweaty, her shaky breaths, her shoulder prodding with pride at her continuous pull ups—and the finality, the perfect look after fucking Carol Danvers.

“You…” Carol waved her hand absently, seemingly still at dazed. “I— you know?” she huffed, shaking her head as a smile graced her face and she pressing her mouth over yours.

The kiss, unlike the previous activity, was short and heavy of her breath mix with yours. But there’s a trace of hunger to distinguish that it wasn’t the conclusion between two thumping hearts.

You smirked as her hand discreetly pressed over your stomach. “One more?”

Carol doesn’t dither when she instantly kneels in front of you, and you weren’t one to complain when her mouth latched to your cunt. It’s perfect, you and her, and just fucking each other into oblivion.

How do you sketch & render your clothing folds, if i may ask? They look very pretty!

I am the least qualified person to give a tutorial but sure let's do this.

No I'm a self taught artist so a lot of this is just me using the good ol' "Fuck around and Find out" technique. So the example I'll might not be the best but it will give a general idea.

First you get your sketch/lineart + flat color. As you can see I've already drawn the fold lines. It's best to know where the shirt is getting pulled more from because that's the general direction that the folds start from and where fore folds are.

Next, on a clipping layer, I just draw with a darker color the places that will be shaded with a watercolor brush or pencil brush, just a brush that kind of fades works. This doesn't have to be accurate coloring it can be just messy blobs. But always keep in mind were the light is hitting the shirt so you'll know which direction to draw the shadows bigger and darker at

Than with a soft eraser I start erasing the shading and fixing it by going back with the brush. This is a lot of back and forth between the eraser and brush until you get to a point where it looks good in your eyes (i lowered the opacity a bit here because I thought the shade color was too dark)

(Note: during more detailed drawings I like to go in with a darker shade color at the deepest corners for more depth and detail)

On a new clipping layer, by using an airbrush or the gradient tool, with the same colour I used for the shading, I darken the top and bottom. Why? Because it looks cool idk.

And usually that's where I leave it but sometimes I might add a lighter color for some lighting on the cloth by using the same steps as for the shading, this may depend on the fabric you imagine the clothes have. Or I've seen some people airbrush the parts of the outfit near the skin and that gives off a cool effect too

Now as you might have noticed this is the ugliest shirt ever. And that's because I did this in 10 minutes from my ✨️imagination✨️. Usually I have reference pics when drawing which give me a general idea of how the folds should look like and that is a life saver. This was just to give a general idea of how it works. Here are some examples of actual good shading I've done

Hope this helps👋✨️

step 4! ( important )

go to your tumblr and have your post ready to modify. first, make sure you have the "HTML" setting selected in the Text Editor (if it's not showing up, you can toggle some stuff in your page's settings to fix it. see photo below.)

once in the HTML page, you should see a bunch of code. ONLY highlight the text that include your title. then paste your HTML code from Fader Colour into it to replace it. press "preview" at the type to view it.

i hope this was somewhat helpful and straightforward. the process is pretty simple and you should get the hang of it rather quickly. if you have any questions, feel free to send another ask or dm me!

xoxo, olivia.

tada! as requested by anon & since this is one my frequently asked questions i thought i'd finally make it a proper post! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

first things first, i use photoshop cc 2018 to edit & with just a keyboard n mouse. my editing is HEAVILY inspired by the amazing stellarfalls !! i'm also still experimenting with things so i'll try to keep this up to date ♡

first i use smooth sharp (no topaz) then i will sometimes mess with curves if my photo is too dark to begin with. then i add my lighting which is just drawing on an overlay layer with a round soft brush :3

(sorry for the weird cropping i was recording the wrong window</3) i'm not a pro at lighting LMAO but i'll put it roughly where light would hit from the surroundings so here would be the fireplace, there's also a lamp behind them. i change the opacity so its not as drastic! for this step & the next i usually lean towards very light yellow, orange & pink for my brush colour!

next is the fun yet most tedious part, specific highlights! the most important part here when you're not using a tablet is shape dynamics > fade under brush settings (smoothing is also your friend as well!) this entire part is trial & error, you basically just outline the sim where light would be hitting them! when i'm done i use the blur brush, make it fit the entire image & click twice. i know that's like super specific it's just what i've found looks best so far •ᴗ•

hair strand time hair strand time!! i'm still not really satisfied with them yet (think i'm just being overly picky tbh LMAO) but this is how i do them now. basically following literalite's old hair strands tutorial, fade is once again your friend! i use a clipping mask to change the colours (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) i just use an edited photoshop brush & you can find the settings in literalite's video! but here are some nice hair brushes if you want more variety! x

finishing touches baby! time for some dust & noise ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) this gif shows a whole lotta nothing but i like consistency! anyways, what i'm doing is just sizing the image to fit then changing the blending mode to screen, i usually change the opacity to about 60% or 80% ++ i add 1% noise to the image!

and tada! we're done~ ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

but what about my older posts? all i used to do was add the butter action along with smooth sharp still + dust overlays! up until very recently i also added crinkled paper overlays to my photos

for overlays (things like moodlets, pop ups & text) the most common things i use are bunnithechubs' moodlet psd's! & buglaur's tutorial for text, i used this tutorial for pop ups in my older posts as well! other editing things i may use can be found at my resources page ♡

and now we're completely done, i hope that answers everyone's questions but if you still wanna know something or you're confused please feel free to send me an ask! ヾ(˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶)

OPTIONS — SECTION ONE

You have selected: Options!

The menu screen dissolves and a new screen appears in front of you: "Options" floats at the top, slightly transparent, and a dialogue box with the words "Would you like to view the tutorial?" written inside. There are two options: Yes and No. The No option is greyed out.

You have selected: Yes!

The screen fades to black and the word Tutorial appears at the top. It's slightly transparent, though you can still read it. Beneath that, a void, dark and looming.

At first, all that surrounds you is darkness and silence, like a void. It's not uncomfortable or suffocating, though. Instead, you feel warm and almost fuzzy inside; the feeling reminds you of the heat of sunlight through your fur.

A flicker of light appears in the distance. The longer your eyes linger on it, the brighter and larger it grows until, at last, a ticked orange tabby with significant white colouring appears. They're smaller than you, and look younger, too. Their bright cyan eyes stare up at you with awe and curiosity.

BRAMBLEPAW: It's you! It's really you! After all this time, I thought you were never comin'!

Hah! You should see your face! I'm just kiddin', I knew you'd come. That's kinda one of the cool things about this. Huh? Oh, I'm from StarClan!

As soon as they notice the panicked look on your face, the cat waves their paws in a placating gesture, trying to calm you down.

BRAMBLEPAW: Woah! Calm down! Don't worry, you're not dead. This is just our way of sendin' messages to you Clan-dwellers. And my message is really important, so you gotta listen, okay?

Remembering what the elders had once told you about your ancestors in the stars, you decide that sitting and listening to whatever message this little cat has for you seems like the best option.

You settle in the grass—which appears silvery and almost ghost-like—and curl your paws beneath you.

YOU: All right, I’m listening. But, before you tell me anything, can I know your name?

The cat stares at you, their head tilted slightly as they process your request. Their eyes narrow just slightly, contemplating for only a moment before grinning, the smallest set of teeth bared in your direction.

BRAMBLEPAW: Sure! We’re friends after all, right? Well, not friends. But y’know what I mean! I’m Bramblepaw!

I've been here a while now, longer than you've even been alive! I know, spooky, right? Oh! Right! My very important message! Listen carefully, now!

The Clan cats can't tell you this themselves, so they're lucky I'm here, but they need your help. Don't ask how I know, you'll only make this more complicated and I have limited time already!

BRAMBLEPAW: There's one Clan in particular I want you to keep your eye on. It's kinda your destiny so you can't say no!

They're called ForestClan and they're super important to the future of the Clans!

You'll be watching them from the sky, and all you have to do is help them make big decisions. What? Don't worry about it! You can handle it! StarClan wouldn't have picked you if they thought you couldn't!

The air grows cold around you and Bramblepaw's voice begins to fade into the distance. They give you a bright smile as their small body dissolves into twinkling stars.

As you continue to stare into the space where the strange young cat once was, your head starts to feel fuzzy. An unfamiliar feeling fills your body and you feel wiser than before, as though you know things that a Clan-dweller like you shouldn't...
