ughhhhh so probably the tgcf scene i think the most about is in the final battle when hua cheng is holding xie lian and backwards gripping eming with his other hand i . god. this is referenced off of The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel (i’m pretty sure everyone has seen it by this point) which is surprisingly pretty topical for tgcf.

good evening

good evening everyone, here's a chrispost for today

[salty-an-disco]

fuck it, gonna start doing my stp-posting here too (its vibes fit DE, so–)

Did some more scribbles for some vague designs concepts. The ones on the first image came to me very easily, and I just didn’t have much energy to put much thought on their designs, but with Hunted, Paranoid, and Skeptic, I had to really stop and think about what I thought could best pass on their attributes (hence, the notes with some of my thought process lol).

Opportunistic and Smitten just really evade my mind tho; it’s not that I don’t have any idea for how they look like, it’s that I have TOO MANY ideas on what they could look like, and they all conflict with each other ksmddijdjdjf

Huge collection of ocs i had yet to post here!!

[Reuploading because the original post was bugged to shit 🙃]

So, I'm making myself relearn how to use procreate, since I'm normally a medibang user. I used to use procreate back when I first got my ipad, back in 2017, but gave it up because I found Medibang so much more intuitive and nicer to use.

Except now procreate has so many more features than Medibang that'll make eventual commission work flow easier...So yeah. Relearning procreate.

And I decided to do some practice with the cutest tiefling from Baldur's Gate 3: Dammon~!

It's really not my best work, but considering I drew this at 1 am with the intention of playing around...I think he turned out pretty darn good~

Also why does no one draw Dammon with the pink streaks in his hair? All the references I found of him, he has pink streaks of his hair, in all sorts of different lighting. But not one draws them. Give the bae his pink streaks!

Don't expect much more fanart for this game, though, because I don't actually own it LOL

remembering how to draw pmd them

I've been doing more sketching than anything I'd consider comparatively finished lately, so here is another colored sketch of Roselie.

Have these super quick doodles that I made while testing new brushes, it’s Curt and Owen from the fic I’m working on where they accidentally end up in 2024 with no way back. I just love the idea of Curt being super into social media and Owen just not really getting it (Curt likes to mess with the filters lol)

Anyway I haven’t found a decent style or design for these guys yet so they’re always different when I draw them until I’ll someday find a design I like, so they definitely won’t stay looking like this if I post more art in the future

how i make character models* in paint3d

*they are not models. you cannot rig them. but for simplicity i will call them this. also this guy is the example ⬇️

so. paint3d is very jank and not actually that good But it is fun to mess around with and for getting that early 2000s computer game effect for things. this program crashes and lags a lot especially when making more detailed stuff like this so. throughout this Please save your project periodically. I have lost so much to not doing this

if your computer isn't that great it's best to keep the quality setting at it's lowest. these models aren't really that detailed so it doesn't make a huge difference anyways LOL

when you open p3d you start with a blank 2d canvas. if you've Never used the program before i recommend fucking around with 3d view + making 3d shapes for a bit. make a Thing. like just some random object. it does not have to be good it's just to get used to how the controls work (because it is different between my mouse and drawing tablet and im not going into that here LOL). the biggest positive about p3d is how user intuitive it is compared to.yknow. blender when you're done with the Thing and u want to start with your character go back to the 2d canvas/2d view for sketching time

you could probably do this in another program but. i find it easier to just do it here. i keep these pretty simple and try to keep depth in mind

then go to canvas and make the background transparent. and then switch to 3d view to start making the base for the model on top of the sketch

at this point i don't use the 3d doodle shapes yet because they are finnicky as hell. the preset ones are a bit easier to control and move around so they're nicer for the planning part. what shapes you use depends on your character but my guy here is very circles and round so its just a sphere and some cylinders

make sure you're in 3d view and checking the pose from every angle ! if ur guy looks like a roblox avatar without the assets loaded fully then that is ideal. once you're happy with the pose it's Sculpting Time

where you choose to start is up to you but i usually get the head out of the way bc it tends to be the most complicated thing.

this is my best friend forever. the sharp edge is helpful for stuff like metal and whatnot though so i use them both.

for stuff like hair and fur i find its easier to make a bunch of small shapes and then connect them instead of trying to do it all in one go

^better examples with fluffier guys

this part is pretty much just personal preference for how you want your model to look though. just keep adding Stuff until it looks alright. also reminder to be saving your work bc this is when it gets really annoying if p3d crashes

finished head. jus keep addin stuff. copy and paste is a godsend btw.

puffier jacket. also connecting the limbs. just keep addin stuff.

these take a few hours .finished limbs. pretend the backpack is there i forgot to get a progress shot of it

now it is time for the objectively best part which is painting the guy. switch back to the 2d brush but stay in 3d view and start Coloring . i only really use the watercolor brush for shading/gradients and the marker one for lines but this part is also personal preference.

watercolor brush for the blue gradient and marker for the face .

i would Not do this in 2d art but i like adding a white gradient to pastel colors like with the hair here. it compliments the soft shapes well i think. to quote a friend it Looks Gummy

my silly highlights.

almost done with the creature. also mentioning that there are different textures for objects that you can change when picking their base color. the zipper is metal so it gets to be shinier.

theres also different lighting/filters to mess around with + you can doodle on the transparent canvas still.

save ur guy as a image and/or a turnaround gif/video/whatevar u want . and thas it! you can also mess with the model more for different poses and expressions (although this is super laggy bc it has to render a bunch of shapes at this point)

go make some CREACHURES !!

Mmm...thinking about a 5+1 fic of sorts.

Different times that Steve has sat in the driver's seat of his car, pulled down the visor to block the sunlight, and immediately getting smacked in the face by a paper note.

A note from Eddie.

They start out kind of stupid and silly. The first one literally just has a crude drawing of a dick on it with writing: Penis and a tongue-out smiley face. Steve just snorts at it and slips it in his wallet because it's funny and he'll probably look at it later and ask Eddie about it. But not because he wants it to stop. But because it honestly made his day start out a little bit better.

So the notes stick around.

One of them is a silly drawing of Steve as a knight, stick figure with a wood sword. Maybe one is just a simple sketch of a random bird that Eddie saw that morning. There's even one of Garfield with a joint in his mouth—which makes Steve cackle, he even suggests that Eddie gets it tattooed as a joke (to which he takes seriously and actually does.)

But the last one he gets is a super sappy note. Just lines and lines and lines of Eddie hoping that Steve has a good day, that he keeps smiling because that's one of Eddie's favorite features of Steve's. There's little doodled hearts all over the margins. Steve's name is written in the best cursive he thinks he's ever seen. It's practically a love letter.

And, yeah, Steve knew all along that he was tiptoeing a treacherous line between friendship and something more, but this note/letter is a great little first step towards that more he wants.

Though. When he brings it up to Eddie. Eddie gets red faced and realizes, "Oh, shit. That's the wrong paper. Oops." And he reveals the actual note he meant to leave was of some small goblin creature wearing a stupid Family Video vest.

The love letter-note was the one he ended up grabbing and sticking in Steve's car the night before, when he was tipsy and tired and getting a ride home.

So...more of a five silly notes and one sappy one? Not sure, though.

Oh! And Steve keeps all the notes in his wallet :). So that later, when they've confessed to each other and whatnot, Steve can show his eclectic collection of Eddie's notes. And he can just gush over how stupid and adorable and funny they are. It's a not so subtle ask that he gets more notes from Eddie, even the sappy ones. <3

SKETCH DUMP!!

Just some miraculous stuff that I had doodled a bit ago, miscellaneous and whatnot!!

[jmdbjk]

Mental gymnastics...

I am flipping out. That's all. Just my brain doing cartwheels and whatever those things are called where you flip between those high bars and let go for a breathless second and then grab onto reality again. Or this...

Too much Olympics these past few weeks I guess... anyway.

WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT! I may or may not mention scenes in detail and their outcomes during these long rambling messy posts beginning with the next sentence.

Before I get into it... kudos to the staff for keeping up with these two and for suffering many extremely anxious moments as Jimin and Jungkook drove themselves through NYC, as Jungkook and then both Jimin and Jungkook rode the motorcycle through traffic, and the few heart stopping moments when JK flipped his kayak over and then they took off down the river alone before staff caught up with them. Not to mention probably looking up the nearest ER/urgent care facility in case Jimin got too dehydrated from his bout with the stomach bug.

Seriously though, their lives and global headlines had to flash before their eyes when JK disappeared underwater under that kayak... so big applause for the staff/production crew for not shitting THEIR pants thirteen times too.

So here are some of my thoughts. I'll begin with the first episode...

Episode 1:

In the opening scene, I'm assuming this is Antoya Korean BBQ restaurant. They were talking about JK's sore throat and that he had to visit a medical facility. Jimin kept on about it. It seemed like JK's "stop babying me" attitude bubbled up a little bit. Let them be them. As you can see, JK adjusted Jimin's beanie so he could see his eyes. They were fine.

Pause and reflect: they didn't know what to expect with this idea of a travel show. The moment above happened on Thursday evening, July 13. Both of them were working. Jimin was still working on his concepts, photos, MV and whatnot, planning to finish everything for Muse in the coming months. Jungkook had a full schedule for promoting Seven which was dropping the next day. He had to get up early for Good Morning America concert in the park.

I'm stating all this for point of reference. Nothing is static. JK was in work mode: he had a performance the next day and also not feeling well himself. Jimin had been on a plane for 14 hours. Just keep these things in mind before jumping to conclusions.

In the next scene (the next day) back at the hotel after JK's done with his performance and when he's packing to go on this trip he's all in and ready to go. Hurry up Jimin!

Jimin asked him how the live performance went. As we know, the GMA live performance was mostly rained out. Before the storm came through, they quickly pre-recorded the performances before it would have been time for the live broadcast and then shut it down. Jungkook had to be driven quickly to the studio to be interviewed to fill the leftover time in the program that more of his live performance would have taken up.

Hearing Jungkook say "this isn't my first rodeo" was never going to be on any bingo card in my lifetime.

I don't know what he was scribbling on that iPad but it looked geometric. He was focused. Maybe it was something for the next week's performance, maybe it was a sketch for music show staging, trying to recreate that flower archway they saw at Antoya the night before? maybe he was doodling in Canva... we don't know.

Me either, Jimin... (this was the first of all the hilarious gems that begin to shower down on us).

They are both known to be perfectionists when it comes to their work. And we know they've also both performed when feeling less than 100% on that stage. Jungkook realized there were circumstances beyond his control and he took it in stride.

FYI, in New York City, they stayed at the Loews Regency on E. 61st Street in Manhattan. It is between Madison Ave. and Park Avenue and not far from Central Park. Swanky. The suite looks like the 2-bedroom "Park Avenue Suite" and runs $2100 a night... gasp. Yes, its the same suite where JK did his live after his rained upon GMA appearance. During this live he mentioned being poked with needles, IV's and shots in the butt as well as teasing us with what would become Are You Sure:

No, I don't think Jimin stayed in this suite with JK. Jimin's room had a smaller bathroom and a shower curtain instead of a glass shower door. Staff with camera woke him up.

To be that beautiful when rolling out of bed... anyway, I digress...

It truly was unplanned and spontaneous as if they were doing this with the idea of "let's try it and see if it can be viable." Even Jimin wasn't sure if any of this could be aired.

Once they got in the Jeep they started to find their groove. Being alone, just them, was what they needed. They could focus on what was ahead of them. The driving moments were some of the best for me.

We eventually learn that Jimin wasn't feeling well and I'm certain this is what Jungkook was telling Yoongi during that episode of Suchwita, along with the elbowing in the nose.

Seems like Jimin's stomach trouble started when they were at the first restaurant, the burger place. The bathroom visits continued at the brewery and into the evening at the campsite.

Jimin had some sort of stomach bug that kept him on the toilet a lot and he ran a little bit of a temp. I am sad that he wasn't feeling 100% when they were on the yacht the next day but he still seemed to enjoy it enough to find the humor in his situation. He was a real trooper.

It sure didn't stop him from eating. My man was very brave in that regard. Me... no way I'd be stuffing my face with a big greasy burger when at any moment I might need to make a run for the toilet.

They get back on the road and these are the moments that I wait for:

After arguing in satoori about who is the worst driver between them, they start shopping at Dick's.

And get recognized...

After shopping excursion at Dick's, they finally head to High Nine Brewery...

Jimin's first sample wasn't to his taste (again). His taste buds were probably a little off since he had the stomach thing going on... but JK's eyebrows say that his sample was pretty good.

They finally settle on a hard seltzer and a pale ale and relax for a little bit. Jungkook is still wondering what would make good subject matter to film. They are truly making it up as they go...

Jimin proceeds to explain and an interaction happens and I am not sure what to think about it:

I am going to end this post here because they are now on their way to the kayaks and that segment deserves its own post and I have too many screen shots of it to fit in this post.

[These are all my own opinions about what I am seeing and hearing them say and from what I am observing from the video. It's ok if your opinion is different from mine.]

@jonmartinweek final day, Day 9, Free/Au! I took the chance to do a sketch page with some doodles and some fanart (like, of fanfic) and whatnot. Thanks to everyone for a fantastic event week <3 these guys rotating in our minds collectively
