#i refuse to watch a tutorial

[the-deadrobin]

Hi y'all, I wrote a completed fanfiction.

(Crazy, I know. What I don't know is who I mean by "yall" because I know damn well there ain't nobody but me here.)

Summary:

"Joker Venom and the Lazarus Pit is not a good combination."

——

When two greens clash within Jason, plowing through the walls he's built around his mind and breaking him from the inside out.

Stephanie isn't going to let that happen. Not when she is there for him.

TW: Self-Harm, Violence, Trauma, PTSD

Decided to make a skirt by hand, like without a sewing machine.

I only have scrap clothing, zero experience except just hand sewing patches and holes and no fucking clue on how to make a skirt.

It's coming out decent so far, I should probably iron it. But yeah. (I also can't cut a non jagged line for the life of me.)

tried to properly render for the first time using a request from my tiktok, thank you burning spice cookie for being my test subject

[roseverdict]

thinking about my frustrations with the current system we live under and realizing my experiences (constantly having very little money, thus preventing me from buying things except once in a blue moon unless there's a free option available) are not universal. however i am charging headlong down making a mobile game, and while i probably will put ads into it bc im a broke bitch i refuse to let it be just another of the hundreds of half-assed tutorial projects with a quadspillion ads in them apiece

but this leads me to a conundrum.

i want to have cute little skins for the player character that can be "bought" through one of two things: achieving a cumulative score high enough to unlock it, or by watching a certain number of ads willingly. notably, i refuse to use the ones that interrupt the gameplay out of nowhere and do nothing except pay me, even if they technically pay app makers more than any other kind of ad.

i'm just not sure exactly how to implement it:

should the "unlock via Playing The Game" skins be completely separate from the "watch x number of ads" skins?

should the "unlock via Playing The Game" option be available on the same skins that have the "watch x number of ads" option?

should the "watch x number of ads" thing be reworked into just "watch an ad to add x amount to your current spendable score"?

should i go the scummy route and implement flat-out in-app purchases for if someone doesn't want to watch an ad to get a skin??? does anybody actually do that????? i'm too broke to comprehend the existence of that kind of person but they have to exist if half-assed apps (and tbh whole-assed apps) keep on acting like they're real

should i forfeit my dignity and integrity and do lootboxes

ur art is so advanced for a teenager!! have you been taking classes or are you self taught?? :0

self taught for the most part ! i went to a fine arts highschool for 3 years but they focused on traditional art and i already knew the fundamentals so it was mainly experimental and furthering our growth without much external intervention- but all my digital art stuff is self taught- mainly cause i always refuse to watch tutorials on new programs-

(i recommend actually watching stuff cause i only figured out a few months ago that i can color pick the transparent bg and use it with my brushes..)

They’re arguing again

trying to animate some magic and. god, animating is difficult,,

[ranger-danger]

Okay so. Mayhaps a stupid question…

How do people get their eyeshadow to stay on? My eyes are half hooded and the eyeshadow wares off so quickly. Do people just constantly reapply it, or?

I've gained a whole new level of respect and appreciation for digital artists of all sorts recently. I mean, artists of any kind are amazing in general, of course. But I've got a new graphics tablet (nothing fancy - just wanted to start learning) and I've been trying it out, and it honestly feels like I'm trying to draw with my foot. I feel like a toddler - no motor control with this thing at all. I didn't expect this to be easy and I didn't expect to create ✨art✨ any time soon, but the moment I try anything, I feel like my hand isn't properly part of my body any more. Like, draw a circle challenge impossible.

every time i cut my hair i try to do layers but instead just fuck it up and cut it way too short. this has happened like four times. someone teach me

[coffeeworldsasaki]

I still haven't fucked it up too badly nice

[calendials]

my first ever digital sketches! (korra isn't yelling at asami i swear i just don't know how to use this program yet to move them around)

[angeluscore]

once you start to watching those korean tutorials on youtube that it's just them doing the stuff and nothing more, it's downhill from there

[haemey]

Aaaaand that's why I prefer charts tonwritten patterns. Itxs so much easier when you can just see what you're supposed to do. Also makes counting way easier, becaude you can just look at where you're supposed to be in the pattern instead of doing calculus in your head

Novice sewing pattern: Cut out shapes. Line up the little triangles on the edges. Stitch edges together. We've also included step-by-step assembly instructions with illustrations.

Novice knitting pattern: yOU MUSt uNDerstANd thE SECret cOdE CO67 (73, 87, 93) BO44 (63, 76, 90) 28 (32, 34) slip first pw repeat 7x K to end *kl (pl) 42 * until 13" (13, 13, 15) join new at 30 pl for 17 rows ssk 27 k2tog mattress lengthwise BO and sacrifice a goat to the knitting gods. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT "INSTRUCTIONS," I JUST GAVE THEM TO YOU

I should probably actually watch tutorials on animating and shading instead of just taking a guess and hoping phor the best
