#the tutorial is probably RIGHT THERE

[yeahyankee]

Being too proud to stop and ask for directions— except you’re an overstimulated girl with four beverages crowding your desk and you just need the RIGHT Noise Reduction setting on Audition.

Looking up art tutorials on Youtube is the worst because for every video that has a nice descriptive title like "tips for doing x thing" or "drawing x tutorial" there's a dozen other videos titled shit like "you SUCK at drawing x thing!" and the thumbnail with have "This one mistake is RUINING your LIFE" in big red text and there will be an arrow pointing at some art labelling it "fuckhead idiot drawing made by some dipshit" and then you click on the actual video and it spends two minutes going "boy i sure did struggle to draw before i knew this one tip. drawing was soooo hard. My life would have been sooo much easier if i knew this thing" and then when it gets to the actual tip it's always just some variation on like. "heh. you gotta practice lots 🥴".

A gift drawing of Jordana for the very kind @astra-the-dragon

When I first saw Obelisks I thought there was no way I would be able to draw them without major problems but actually it was pretty nice, the mane was ridiculously fun to draw!

Small test run of Infinity Nikki done! Mostly just finished the tutorial (and kicked Momo around), but it so far it seems pretty fun~

Also photo mode is so nice ♥

i wonder what the mutuals that arent familiar with mouthwash think it's about. Like, just based on the stuff i reblog. like you guys probably don't interact with the text posts (very valid and i recommend you dont for your mental wellbeing) but i assume you Have seen the art............. and i can only imagine at least one of you must be confused as to why these madmen are eating bloody cakes and unironically drinking mouthwash and this girl that looks like Shelley Duval has a gun

Dialogue added, with both quick comments and cutscenes that pause the game! I also modified how the gel works, modeled after UtK2 instead of UtK1, because I like it better this way. ALSO I added tool durability, but I didn't think to show that off lol

Trying a new art medium is so frustrating... I don't know enough to know if it's not turning out the way I want because of my ability, my (probably crappy) materials, or the quality of tutorials I'm watching

i love danjin so much y'all

i just realized. re: the very long this post.

in ultimate ventriloquist's murder trial. the victim was monokuma.

like. nobody actually died. and junko would probably think that killing off the puppet that killed monokuma was an equivalent exchange. good bit, good fun, reset to center, no more puppets as people, the joke ran its route, good on everyone!

ultimate ventriloquist wasn't supposed to actually die. it was...it was a bit. a joke!

no wonder it gave junko the shakes.

....

this is either a case 2 or a case 4. i'm not sure which.

probably a case 4.

I need.... a bigger window.....

I'm starting to think I should've taken my sewing lessons more seriously. I CANNOT sew properly for the life of me 😭

^currently struggling to finish my Ryan cosplay since both the hoodie and the pants need some alterations

Ohhhh boyy... Alrighty then! Tell me the issue and I can probably help you!

Also hai Rue!! :D

blue prince is gonna make me set up a conspiracy theory corkboard with red string wall

[pa-pa-plasma]

now I've a whole lot of hate for the island since your friends buried you down there six feet deep beneath the sand

x means that string is silent. the number is the fret you need to set. pause the video & look at the neck of the guitar to see what I mean.

numbers are saved tabs (I use the numpad to switch rather than with the mouse or regular number keys. it's way easier). letters are the QWERTY keys you click.

X X means a slight pause between clicking the letter keys/strings

X-X means click those keys back to back

XX means click those keys at the same time

Things I wish I had read in "beginner" sewing tutorials/people had told me before I started getting into sewing

You have to hem *everything* eventually. Hemming isn't optional. (If you don't hem your cloth, it will start to fray. There are exceptions to this, like felt, but most cloth will.)

The type of cloth you choose for your project matters very much. Your clothing won't "fall right" if it's not the kind of stretchy/heavy/stiff as the one the tutorial assumes you will use.

Some types of cloth are very chill about fraying, some are very much not. Linen doesn't really give a fuck as long as you don't, like, throw it into the washing machine unhemmed (see below), whereas brocade yearns for entropy so, so much.

On that note: if you get new cloth: 1. hem its borders (or use a ripple stitch) 2. throw it in the washing machine on the setting that you plan to wash it going forward 3. iron it. You'll regret it, if you don't do it. If you don't hem, it'll thread. If you don't wash beforehand, the finished piece might warp in the first wash. If you don't iron it, it won't be nice and flat and all of your measuring and sewing will be off.

Sewing's first virtue is diligence, followed closely by patience. Measure three times before cutting. Check the symmetry every once in a while. If you can't concentrate anymore, stop. Yes, even if you're almost done.

The order in which you sew your garment's parts matters very much. Stick to the plan, but think ahead.

You'll probably be fine if you sew something on wrong - you can undo it with a seam ripper (get a seam ripper, they're cheap!)

You can use chalk to draw and write on the cloth.

Pick something made out of rectangles for your first project.

I recommend making something out of linen as a beginner project. It's nearly indestructible, barely threads and folds very neatly.

Collars are going to suck.

The sewing machine can't hurt you (probably). There is a guard for a reason and while the needle is very scary at first, if you do it right, your hands will be away from it at least 5 cm at any given time. Also the spoils of learning machine sewing are not to be underestimated. You will be SO fast.

I believe that's all - feel free to add unto it.

its like. not even funny how much more comfortable left handed knitting is. i dont even mind working on my sock like this, the small needles combined with magic loop were really adding to the discomfort right handed
