la manière dont ils arrêtent pas de mentionner le mot monstre et Félix qui arrête pas de dire que c'est les autres qui sont des monstres et pas les personnes dénommées comme "sentimonstres" et tout le narratif autour du contrôle et de pouvoir décider de son destin mais à quel prix merde c'est incroyable

Comme j'ai sorti les choses du déni je suis allée chez le motherfucking dentiste et c'était un nouveau cabinet. J'ai jamais vu autant de gens sourire dans un cabinet de DENTISTE ? Même les patients ? Tout le monde était trop chill ?! Le dentiste m'a dit je vous revois demain mais vous dormez cette nuit hein ! 🦷✨💗

Sweethearts, a julian loki oneshot.

Part 2 took a while but it's here!

The young prodigy waited patiently for his train, the cold reddening his cheeks. His hands rubbed together, the lack of gloves made him shiver. His eyes observed the small and elegant snowflakes falling one by one on the ground.

Brrrrr

He shook his head a little, his attention turned towards a woman who was giggling slightly. She handed him a pair of handmade mittens" prend-les, tu vas attraper froid" she said in between her soft laughter. His eyes could not leave her facial features, she looked so ethereal in the winter aethestic of the train station. She looked straight out of fantasy book, her long wavy and silky ( hair color ) flowing with the wind( n/a if you're bald im sorry ). Her plump lips curved upwards and her eyes. Ocean eyes, he was drowning his own in them, their color was delicate and pleasantly captivating.

' merci..'

He murmured but the woman was long gone, his attention was quickly snatched when the train arrived. He stepped in, but his mind was still occupied with that woman. He hoped, hoped so dearly to see her again, in the least thank her properly for the gift.

He sped up his movement to catch up with a familiar figure, when he reached them, they turned around slowly. She seemed to recognize him' ah! On se revois. Puis-je vous aidez ? '

' huh.'

She tilted her head in amusement, Julian seemed embarrassed.

' voila'

He extended the pair of mittens toward the woman, her gaze softened as he turned his head away with a blush. He felt his hand getting pushed gently

' ne t'inquiète pas, prend les'

He nodded slowly but before she could go;

' merci beaucoup!'

She stopped in her track

' ça me fais plaisir, prend en bien soin'

She left, her elegant boot tapping against the cement ground. He held them against his chest, a smile grazed on his dried lips. He sighted contently, looking up at the cloudy sky. He was glad to have gotten yo speak yo her again....

You smiled softly, leaning your back against a brick wall, yo say you had an opportunity to approach him in the first place. This time he came to you, you were glad he didn't hear your heart beat so fast, it still echoed in your head. Your hand lingered over your chest, tracing your collarbone in hope to slow down your heartbeat. You certainly fell for him the second you laid eyes of him, you were lucky to have a chance to approach him with these mittens.

Maybe it was worth it after all ?

Fin~

I see you're a fellow krita user 👀 what brushes do you use ?? i literally ADORE your art style jejdjdjf

heeey thank you <3 i have a few favs, most of them are basic in krita but i downloaded sketch pencils by Ramon Miranda and a pack from David Revoy, i think you can get them on their official sites and blogs, but it's been a while since i got them. If you can't find them i can share!

I like pencils that draw very soft lines, inking ones are too hard for me lol i use them rarely. if i do some coloring it's mostly the same pencil anyway because i'm lazy

i use these the most often:

C'est le troisième jour qu'il dort et tousse. Il se réveille pour grignoter ce qui veut bien rentrer dans son estomac et en profiter pour prendre les médicaments qui font passer la fièvre et la toux.

Et moi je prépare des petites assiettes dès les signes de réveil. 1/4 de steak, une pomme en compote, une poignée de macaronis, des salades de fruits, du beurre de cacahuète, des noix, des yaourts... On a acheté des chips pour faire monter sa tension et des bonbons pour blinder ses glucides car il a perdu presque deux kilos depuis mercredi soir.

Je me revois faire pareil il y a 15 ans et quelques mois. Les nuits blanches à scruter les signes de réveil. "Un bébé ne se laisse pas mourir de faim" (spoiler: si, ça arrive) "vous ne savez pas le nourrir, on va devoir le garder". Les journées à cuisiner ce qu'il aime, tester des recettes, des associations, des textures. "On doit le gaver" "Faire des examens supplémentaires".

On n'en n'est plus là, mais les vieux démons ressurgissent. Hier, le médecin a posé des questions d'anamnèse sur son passé d'alimentation. Elle a parlé d'examens supplémentaires. De vérifier les globules blancs. De trouver pourquoi sa tension baisse à ce point.

Des nouvelles peurs s'installent aussi, en particulier sur les tca. Comment lui permettre un développement sain alors qu'il part d'une "anorexie du nourrisson" (dixit pédiatres), comment le rassurer quand il met des semaines à prendre 2kg et quelques jours pour les perdre.

Il est censé rentrer à l'école après-demain, il lui reste 3 semaines de cours avant le blocus et les examens, et il ne tient pas debout plus de 3 minutes.

Bloodbath - Lucien Lachance

Quest Updated

Welcome to Fort Farragut

THIS WAS A LOT TO DO, I KEPT WORKING ON IT AFTER WORK AND ITS TAKEN LIKE 6-7ISH HOURS (and bless David Revoy for making the dryad brush pack on Krita, that soft pastel brush saved my life), pure pain but wow I am proud for my first really ambitious piece in a while. Uh it's by no means perfect but i like it a lot

Either way, as promised?? Lucien in that Geralt of Rivia inspired bath scene. I was originally going to use this to announce chapter 3 but i was way too pumped after getting this to a place where I felt satisfied. So here we are?

I hope yall like it

How I color manga panels: a tutorial

I'm no expert at doing recolors, I'm simply an artist who's occasionally too lazy to do my own lineart, and uses that of my favorite mangaka's so I can focus on other styles to simply have fun with my colors. I always try and choose panels or pages that are high quality, to avoid too much pixelization. Often I end up sourcing these from scanners or google images.

As far as programs, I use Krita (a free software). This all can be done with the standard brushes and tools that come with the software. But for some of the coloring, I have brushes from brush packs i like to use, as well as a few brushes I have customized myself. The main ones I use are from David Revoy, so if you want a recommendation for a great free brush pack, that's mine.

For this example I'll be using this panel from Chapter 58 of Moriarty the Patriot (I believe this would be Volume 15 of the manga) that I posted earlier here.

I'm not including the step where I crop the image, but I personally chose to remove some of the white borders that are needed for a traditional volume's page borders. Since I'm doing digital art, I don't always include them.

My next step is always to outline and fill the individual base layers. This includes the speech bubbles, each character, any independent props, the panels themselves and the backgrounds. There's no correct way to do this, but personally I use a brush to outline the object, then fill tool to well. Fill it, as well as the rectangle tool for the panels or straight lines I need to do.

For layers, I usually put all of these color base layers in a single group that's set to multiply, and change the opacity of the base panel so that I can fill the blacked out areas with a solid color easily, here you can see I was working with the base panel at 50%, but honestly i just kind of turn it down to whatever I think looks good.

The colors I use for this step are usually brightly saturated rainbow colors so it's easy to tell the different elements apart from each other. So you end up with something that ends up looking rather horrific like this:

From here, I usually create a copy of the base panel to put over the top of the colors. This way I can have transparency for the colors on some of the blacked out parts, but don't loose some of the nuance of the shading entirely. Moriarty the Patriot is a very black heavy cell style, which is the style I find the "panel above, panel below" method works best on. However as I work on the colors, I tend to toggle between having it on or off.

It's about here where I start doing my coloring. Of course this will depend on your coloring style and art habits, however personally, I like to start with the characters. I use those colored layers as the base layer I can clip my coloring layers to.

I will often turn off the layers that I'm not currently using so I don't have to deal with eyestrain, and will change the base layer to something more suitable (often a grey or light tan) so my color theory doesn't get all messed up. The bright colors in previous steps are to make sure they're visually separate. Now they've been established, I don't have to worry about that.

I don't usually label my layers, but for the sake of the tutorial I have to make it clearer which layer grouping is which.

I find in this step because of the multiply layer the colors can be a bit washed out, so I tend to either use much more saturated colors than I usually do, or switch to another layer style like Linear Burn of the overall color group to make the colors pop more. Ultimately though this comes down to personal preference. If your coloring style is very de-saturated, you might not have any problems with it. (I do suggest making your base color white, so the coloring of the base panel isn't off, you'll see in the screenshots above I forgot to when working on Sherlock. Ignore my mistake)

For the parts of the image where it's primarily blacked out (such as Sherlock's hair or coat) I don't bother shading at all, and only do the highlighting, as the black takes care of the darkest tones anyways.

During my coloring, I also add a separate grouping above everything for adding rendering and details above the panels. This includes things like the eye highlights (which I always do in pure #000000 white) and making certain parts of the heavily blacked out areas pop more.

(those refs and paint layer 13 are what I'm using to color pick off of, and keep the shading colors consistent throughout the piece. There's probably a better way to do it, but I just paste them directly into the image and then delete them at the end, paint layer 43 is a color dodge layer, and so has to be outside of the layer grouping to work)

Comparison of the art without:

And with the top details and white highlights:

It's a pretty subtle difference, but I find it's the little things that truly make the piece. Especially with the strands going over the face, they need just a bit more to make them really pop. I also just really like my fancy eyes which is hard to do without the top layer.

Insert several hours of coloring here, and about another hour just trying to figure out what gradient to use for the background, and you end up with the the base colors. From here I usually mess with overlay layers as well to get the colors to all look fancy and nice together without having to do color theory (pro tip /lh).

I forgot to grab screenshots while doing the background, but for the top panel I essentially just used the [deevad 5c screentones] brush and a transparency mask to add a screentone gradient, and totally didn't google "splatter overlay" or something like that and picked something off of google, and added some borders.

Because both the base manga panel and manga panel over the top are both not at full opacity, if there is text in the page or panel (such as this one) I like to copy the just the text part of the panel and add it as full opacity in the "colors" folder to make sure it's legible and matches up the rest of the colors.

And after all that, its basically done. I'll sometimes continue to mess around with certain aspects to make sure I like how it look, but that's essentially it. This is when I add my signature, and then it's queued to post!
