#trying to understand colors is hard :-\

Did a limited palette painting of Ambessa using a palette from here!
It really made me sweat trying to figure out what colors should go where, it definitely got very Iron Man for a while before I worked it out LOL I looooove her design though and I’m pleased by how this came out! I want to do more exercises in this vein
#they say as they always say and then don’t follow up on LOL#but fr I should try#it’s not too hard a commitment and it’s great practice#both for understanding lighting but also experimenting with color#I am so allergic to color but it doesn’t have to be like that#even being able to use a limited palette organically would be a great step for me#my art#Arcane#Ambessa#Ambessa Medarda#Arcane fanart#League of Legends fanart

#elena of avalor#beauty and the beast#batbedit#disneyedit#eoa edit#belle x beast#estebalena#kinda but also not kinda#I think a lot about the fact that it's been confirmed that this is an intentional homage#like EoA series supervising director Elliot M. Bour was just like casually bringing BATB into things as an Easter egg#since it was his first job in animation#and like don't get me wrong; I LOVE that he did this. I just don't know how he expected anyone (i.e. me) to be normal about it afterwards#once you've introduced BATB; it ceases to be a fun and casual reference and just makes the literature major girlies go feral#i thought this was gonna be a quick and easy little project but it wasn't#the parallels are all there but they're in slightly different order in EoA than the original and the pacing for each reference is differen#so i had to determine which ones I needed to skip frames for and which ones to use all the frames#and then try to figure out the speed from there#the coronation day scenes were very hard to color because the grey skies and muted filter kind of whitewash the characters#like you don't even understand i added so MUCH vibrance and saturation to the 4th and 5th gifs but elena's skin still is just gray#and the coloring is still just a very very mixed bag#also i've realized that while I don't think it was an intentional reference in the same way BATB was#anna's sacrifice and resurrection from frozen is perhaps just as --if not more-- a clear parallel to the coronation day scene than BATB#so maybe I will do that one someday too?#once i psych myself up again to try coloring coronation day again#which i imagine will be awhile#these do not look like the same scene and pretty much the same scene at all even if i tried to use the same psd when i could#and edit them to make the coloring as close as i could

stumbling into the tumblr blog covered in blood. hey guys i think pendog creative library is pretty cool. you should check it out.
#pendog creative library#[cherry on top]#HELLO PENDOG FANDOM. IS THERE ANYBODY IN HERE.#or would it be pcl? eh. pendog just sounds nicer to say compared to pcl.#trying so hard to make sure these tags dont dip into being absolute nonsense because i am currently Very Tired as i write this.#drawing this took something out of meeeee. im very proud of it but i also never want to look at it again (exaggerating)#i was like 'okay this'll be easy. it'll be quick. i dont have to make a glitter texture i can just paste in an image from google.#no shading just simple base colors. make it look like a scrapbook. easy! fun :)'#then miss hecate personally came into my head and said 'listen to me very closely young lady. you are going to shade that drawing-#-whether you like it or not. make those sequins shine against the spotlight properly. make me look nice. do you understand'#and i went 'ma'am yes ma'am' and then focused so hard i got a headache#aaauguasahhghghh. im all good but also augh.#this is what those artists in universe felt like after drawing those miss hectate portraits. i think. i better not go missing after this.#BY THE WAY THE BACKGROUND IS WORMS. NOT INTESTINES. TO CLARIFY. JUST IN CASE.#ask to tag#<- for either of those two things. idk#anyways i need to go the fuck to bed. good NIGHT.

there are two wolves inside of you. One of them is fretting that you went through all the effort of making a new art account just to pigeonhole yourself once more into a specific fandom, which holds you back from exploring original art concepts that you care about. The other one came up with three separate ace attorney comic ideas in the last hour alone and isn't stopping anytime soon
#laurellala talks#am i unwell? perhaps#i also drew like 5 more sketchy comics i haven't posted#and a full colored drawing i haven't posted bc i'm overthinking if i need to attach comics to it also or post on its own#i want to draw more muppets interactions and come up with an actual theoretical muppets ace attorney case!#they would get to explore the muppet studio as a location aaa it would be so cuteee#and i'm in the middle of drawing a comic of miles and nick video calling and teasing a young trucy (i love trucy)#and i NEED to draw nick and maya interactions from trials and tribulations case 3 it's so sibling coded agh my heart#also i want to draw lisa basil in general the roboty software company lady#i want to design an ace attorney self insert called Laurel Lyre (you're a liar) and draw sprite expressions and character interactions#she would be an art student that Nick knew from college and she was painting a still life of the scene of the crime#and her painting has something different than how the crime scene looked which is used as proof in court#ALSOOO i had an idea for a silly comic of nick visiting miles in germany (platonic coded)#and of either a comic or short story idea of them going out to dinner together. This one is hard to explain but it would be good#I WANT TO DRAW FRANZISKA TOO i have an angst comic idea for her! And i want to draw her as a kid in dance class#i feel like she has so much scrutiny of herself which is very “i was in dance as a kid” coded. Ballet probably#I ALSO have a comic idea of a holiday party that took place before miles' murder trial but after steel samurai case#where miles begrudgingly talks to phoenix to avoid small talk with strangers and they talk about college#specifically like. it is canon to me that phoenix was in an improv group in college. That's where he learned to bluff. he's so silly#i also want to make a comic of the parents at trucy's school trying to sus out how old nick is#since he's only like what 17 years older than her?#I also want to make a gilmore girls joke but i can't tell if this is too dated to be funny. Do people know this show still#i had never watched it before so i just watched like half a season of it just to make a joke. It's cute.#What Else. I have like 5 animatic ideas but i need to ask my friend what she uses to make hers bc in the past I've used imovie on my phone#do not recommend#and if i don't draw everything RIGHT NOW i'm going to lose interest and nothing will get made!!!!!!#andandand I STILL NEED TO FINISH TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONSSSSS#i got sooo far i'm doing so well in the waitress case#i need to finish it so i can finally understand apollo justice and know what the HECK happened in that time skip#ace attorney

“3872” (Green, White, Gold on Brown)
#I’ve got a series of these I’m working on but I wanted to do a standalone one to test out what brushes I like. Not 100% on it but whatever#shoutout to anyone who gets the inspo. not saying what it was bc I think interpretation is half the fun with stuff like this#*inspiration other than rothko#it’s just so hard to replicate the look of a real canvas and real paint digitally but I’m trying LMAO#need a different brush I think but I’ve tried like 4 different ones at this point and this is the closest I’ve got#sassy speaks#my art#it's missing like a je ne sais quoi of physical paint idk how to describe it#i think it's too flat maybe. like i have to force colors underneath to show through#unlike real pain where that just kinda happens#my understanding of color and how to make a palette has always been lacking i feel like these are helping with that#the series i'm working on has 5 pieces so far but i might end up adding more if inspiration strikes

Professor Elm's Lecture TCG
Card GB1 versions:
Card: Professor Elm's Lecture (Lost Thunder 188a)
#pixel art#my art#gameboy color#pokemon#pokemon tcg#photoshop#togepi#pichu#munchlax#professor elm#professor elm's lecture#card gb#would I believe you if you told me this could be done with 7 colors only? no#did I try anyway? yes#and it looks better than I expected at first (the jar is hard to understand#but overall it's decent)#couldn't make a proper Card GB1 version (yellow+red+blue+dark blue make Munchlax look a bit weird)#so I made one Card GB1 version for each Gen 1-2 games#also trying something with the first tags

!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#A great episode tbh especially given the low budget. I feel like they really did their very best#And even though what I'm going to say next is probably going to be all critic - because I nitpick things and that's what I always end up–#talking about - I still want to underline that it was a very solid and enjoyable episode!!!#Alright the ss/kk was so 💞💞💞 every scene I had to rewatch twice or thrice akhscbashfb they're so cute!!!#Except for the riding scene tho. That scene gives me massive second hand embarrassment every time I just wish it will end as fast as–#possible pffttt. Mmmmhhh... The drawings weren't even too bad all accounted. My main complain is about the quicksand scene...#I feel like that one should be a slow quiet emotional scene. I never licked the choice of using the song as background soundtrack :/#I feel like it ruins the mood of the scene (it was still good though)#I also... Generally don't like the direction they seem to go for with Akutagawa's character in the anime‚ he seems quite a bit flatter–#compared to how he is in the manga. He can't be angry and evil ALL the time you need to show that softness get through from time to time.#If not what even is the point of his character. Yet in the anime he's angry (and not distraught) when he loses the mine craft and he's–#angry when he's questioning Atsushi about his motifs and he's angry when he's bragging about Atsushi's abilities to Goncharov and he's–#angry when he makes the promise with Atsushi at the end of the episode and eventually he'll be just as angry even when telling Atsushi–#to run away as he's sacrificing his life for him. It is pretty flat at the end of the day.#If I can say something about K/ensho Ono without being killed I think they do contribute to making him feel angry all the time.#But that said it's all probably poor directing choices (or simply choices I don't agree with).#Also‚ about cuts. Usually I try to be lenient about it– I understand it's hard to fit in everything and b/sd already does a very–#good job by adapting the manga almost panel-by panel. It's just that... You skip Akutagawa showing compassion for Atsushi after the–#orphanage director died. You skip Atsushi sharing the same compassion when Akutagawa loses his targed in the mines chase. You skip the–#“Nothing special about that. // I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor.” line. And sure each of them may be negligible by their own#But together they wave a consistent web of relationship between the two characters you know? And it's a loss to omit them all#Well no mind. Again it was still a great episode overall!!!!#I think the colors in the mines could have been prettier in the mines but we can't have it all#Off to season 4!!! Omg I can't believe we got this far :DDD#random rambles#FINALLY was able to catch up in time for the season 3 finale!!!!!!

y'all know you shouldn't be taking other people's gifs and reposting them on twitter (or any other website for that matter) without even crediting the original poster right..... like the LEAST you could do is add a link back to the original post bc i bet my ass that you wouldn't like it if people started stealing your tweets.
#i don't think most people understand how tiring giffing can be#especially when it comes to kpop bc we always get some weird ass lighting/coloring where they literally look gray and we have to fix that#sometimes a set of 2 gifs can take over an hour just bc of how long you spend trying to color it nicely#and even when it's smth easy to color it still takes some time and that's time the op won't get back!!#it's not that hard crediting people ffs#i for one rlly don't mind it if people repost my stuff on twitter as long as they credit me#and personally i hateeeee watermarking my stuff bc sometimes the placement looks weird or ugly but i still need to do it bc of y'all#sorry for the rant i just felt really annoyed by that lol#🌙.txt

my fav thing at work is when i tell someone to do somethin and then they nod and theyre like yeahhh maybe thatll help, and then they dont do it at all and the prof comes by and says the same thing i did
#i do not mean when u dont know how to do something or ur gonna do it but get to it later#specific subset of ppl where its like#comes to class. hears lecture. sees assignment. does like the exact opposite of whats assigned bc its their process or style#i get the like oouugh art school is going to beat creativity out of u fear#but like it is not a huge ask to ask u to paint the still life IN FRONT OF YOU instead of taking a photo and painting the photo#or to say maybe it is worth trying to paint without pencil sketching for an hour because acrylic is opaque#and u can paint over the mistakes#i am victim to this i do this all the time in class m not better than this#me using too little paint and too much water for literal months#im just like really slow in this though or something it is hard for me to understand things working#my prof being like ‘rohan… last year i was really worried about you… but you finally are understanding color!’#😭#i have too many ideas and take too long to learn or process anything#u see it a lot in my figure drawings too 💀 i try to incorporate a new concept#and i have like a full class of really shit figures before it starts to come together#im happy with my painting tho … the concept is coming along exactly as i planned#its maybe not as nicely rendered or well done as it could be. but it reflects the inspirations i had and im happy about that#i feel like i am learning how to incorporate myself better in my work. not just in subject matter but in handling media#painting with comic panel inspired canvas pieces. heavily designed composition. large negative space. using context to explore depth#very fun. very awesome. 3 years ago i never wouldve even thought to do this or been able to execute it#very happy. yes#the gamer speaks uwu

Guess who's planning on getting into making Roblox UGC one way or another
#you get a cookie if you guess what i'm trying to make#i have no clue what i'm doing#3d modeling is more confusing if anything#the other model i was trying to make was too hard#so i think doing something like this is an easier way to gain skill#also#does anyone know if the line/clipping or whatever on the mouth will stay when i color#like the little thing going on near the edges#i can't find any information on that#so idk if i need to figure out a way to fix it or not#i tried looking into fixing it but found nothing useful#i need 3d modeling tips that i can understand so badly

Feel extremely disheartened today. Still cannot believe this is happening
#now more than ever we have to stay together and tey to get involved in other ways#no but to be sad for a second#im so sad and scared and nervous and feel awful about this all#this is going to harm so many people#trump is just so awful injust understand how he could win#people arent going to survive this#america is not going to thrive#i iust cant believe the 3 branches are all going to be majority repub now#this is just so heartbreaking#ik the 20mil votes are something i just hope things are bejng looked into#i fear for women and all the of people of color and literally pretty much every minority in this country#im just so sorry about what is going to happen#this is just so bad#I genuinely feel sick to my stomach#just by dealing with stuff with healthcare and lgbtq policy alone I I cannot even imagine how rough this is going to get#It was hard before and now I feel it's going to be damn near impossible but regardless we have to keep trying#I don't know I really don't know just check in on people you know or don't know#I found people are way more willing to actually be vulnerable today because this is such a world altering decision#rambles

Christopher Nolan making movies: I'm gonna make a film that is so confusing and non-linear
#just watched memento :DDDDD#which i think would be his first bigger movie?#but it was so interesting bcs there were a lot of concepts in it that are so visible in his later films#like watching that after watching almost all of his most recent films was such an 'aha!' moment#lthe whole black&white vs in-color to delineate which part of the story we're in#in memento: black and white is the beginning of the story and then in-color is the rest of the story going backwards#and then he uses that concept again in oppenheimer but b&w is the current events and color is everything leading up to that and after#like yeah its really confusing first time around because you dont know that fully yet but then at the end its like OH!!!!!#and then both also have other stuff interspersed btwn those two sections that you only reallly understand by the end#and then with the plot going backwards. that was the same as tenet right?#like starting with the end of the story and them ending with the beginning of the story#i cant remember inception well enough atm but im sure it has traits of memento as well#his movies are like puzzles ig! like you really have to keep track of all the details and what takes place when#i think theyre really fun bcs more and more becomes clear to you#im not sure what the most confusing nolan movie is hmmmm probably tenet or inception right?#oppenheimer: much more clear in general since its following literal historical events but just in a non linear manner#the only real reason i found it a bit confusing is bcs i didnt know a lot of the characters and also was trying to figure out the timeline#and then interstellar is more just confusing in concept bcs it has to do with time in the 4th dimension and all that#but i think the story is pretty understandable its just hard to wrap your head around the different time/dimension concepts#then again....ive watched it probably more than 4 times by now! ITS ONE OF MY FAV MOVIES EVER#cant say much abt the batman movies bcs they have nolan concepts but arent really like his other stuff#haha someones said he did those movies so he could make absolute bank and then have a blank check to do whatever movies he wants#and someone also said that oppenheimer felt like memento and thats so so so true!!!#its cool that he can make the movies he wants. bcs as i said watching memento really outlines very well what concepts he likes#watching it was weird bcs im like oh yeah this is *so* christopher nolan and then realize this is literally only his second film#i need to rewatch inception and dunkirk and see if i can spot inspo from Memento in them#anyways: yay film!!! yay cinema!!!!!! movies are so fun!!!!!!#catie.rambling.txt
