hey you know how reflective eyes are a bit spooky in the dark

do you think for races with darkvision it'd be spooky that humans' eyes are completely lightless in the dark

Hi! I’m a big fan of your art! I draw a bit too, mostly on physical paper instead of digitally, and I was wondering if you had any tips for how to make light really look like it’s glowing. Thanks!

hello hihii!! Thank you sm and for sure!! I don't have any tips for doing it on paper since my only experience in doing anything glowy there is with gouache, which came down to "save your lightest lights for it, halo effect is your friend" but I can def share how I attempt it digitally- mostly with the magic of using adjustment layers! I'll use the piece I did this morning to show:

Starting off with the "flats" or just whatever colours you want to begin with - Flapjack isn't even glowy yet because I haven't turned to the magic of an adjustment layer. I set him and the other "glowy" parts of this to a second layer on top of the rough blockin!

I set Flapjack's layer to "Add (Glow)"- a setting that's in Clip Studio, and I know it exists on other programs too! Play around with adjustment layers until it begins to glow how you want it to - this is just my favourite mode to use because it's bright and flashy and my moth brain Likes It. (I also duplicated the layer, and set it to a strong gaussian blur for the subtle"glowing" effect around the gold; make sure it's set to the same adjustment layer type !) Then suddenly your bird is GLOWING, Sort Of

Then I use what little of my brain understands how planes of things react to light and on a layer above the flats, softly painted in the light on Hunter's face in a dark orange colour- not yellow! Then set that layer to "Add" to help bump up the contrast and make it LOOK yellow. I just thought it worked nicer than me just making it yellow and potentially muddying the blockin layer!

Added a red airbrush around Flapjack to push warmth, doing the same process I did on Flapjack and the scars to the orbs floating around them -- and then, the rest of the piece was just adding the golden swirlies and some sparkles doing just about the same thing!

I hope this helped somewhat!! it's just my method because it's quick and works for Me

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

i AVOID research like the plague lol i find it boring and writing is supposed to be fun!! so i usually do the most high level research possible before i write something and just hope nobody notices lmaoooo recently i’ve researched whether getting hit really hard on the chest could result in heart failure for present tense (it can)

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

more skincare related advice because i’m insane lol but use a vitamin c serum every morning!!!!!!!!!!!! its a small thing anyone can do, absorbs quickly and it makes your skin glow like crazy and also helps reverse sun damage over time, i love using the serum from glossier 😭😭😭

also .. you know, thinkign about zelda in totk, considering she just lived throguh a crisis in botw, then makes a huge horrifying discovery and get yoinked into the past of this hyrule right after, in a world thats clearly the same but she knows no one, even if sonia and rauru are distant relatives, they are are still strangers like literally EVERYONE else around her shes lost all of her support system and everything she build up over the years between the games now AND the strangers are wielding incredible power she has never seen before AND are also in a crisis ... isnt kidna logical she'd just kinda .. tag along and do whatever shes told or try to be as inoffensive as she can, i know they mean everyone around her to be nice and helpful but it leaves me feelign a little uneasy still, do you really think she actually chose what she did or did she literally have not other choice-

ok im stopping here you heard enough rants from me :I

Roy's casually spying on Wally from his sniper nest and making little comments to himself and then Wally sees him, in one of the most cryptid fucking ways ever. Seriously, he looks like he's about to tell Roy he has seven days to live. And then he just shows up at Roy's sniper nest, which is miles away, having somehow heard exactly what Roy was saying. And that'd be terrifying in any other context except this is Wally and he pops up like "HEY ROY! :D WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING MY DUDE??"
