Whether you write fanfic or original works or paint/draw, be it fan art or original work or whatever else - I have to know, because I have a feeling this is going to be very decisive:

TONIGHT @ 6pm PT / 9pm ET

Remember how NOTHING I could find in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon could do anything for the squad's weaknesses to ground types?

Winston the Shroomish is here to change everything 😤

That's right—I did some off-stream grinding and I found a Shroomish!! And a couple of other new friends, too.

(and, uh, all the friend areas Wigglytuff had for sale? don't ask how I convinced Wigglytuff to give me those)

We're making PROGRESS tonight!!

Hey, nerds! I love drawing maps. Like a lot. But there's no demand for them, so I can only do them in my limited free time. But I've had a hankering to add color...maybe a grid? to these so they could actually be used on the table.

If I continued doing these/colored these up, would any of you be interested in buying physical map copies of these and/or PWYW digital copies of these?

such a huge relief that hillary’s so ahead in the polls and trump has such a small chance of winning, right? WRONG. DO NOT GET APATHETIC OR COMFORTABLE. DO NOT DECIDE YOU DON’T NEED TO VOTE BECAUSE YOU’RE SURE HILLARY WILL WIN. the only way trump can win now is if so many people expected to vote for hillary don’t show up to the polls. because you BETTER believe ALL of his supporters will be at the polls.

brexit passed in the UK because young people grew apathetic because they were sure it wasn’t going to pass. and it did, because old racists and xenophobes showed up in DROVES to vote.

tl;dr: VOTE, PEOPLE. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. IT MIGHT.

#DEAR GOD PLEASE VOTE THIS YEAR #i'm so tired of my rights being stripped away

I'm opening commissions in late May!

this will be the first time my commissions have been officially OPEN in... well... years, but I think the time is right and I need to get my savings back in order after a cruel tax season, sooooo, let's go!

if you are in the market for such a thing, could you perhaps let me know...

thanks so much in advance!! this will help me work out what sorts of things to have on offer when I draft up my options. if there is something else you want, please feel free to reply and let me know.

I'll probably be reblogging this a few times throughout the week!

Hello Tofu! One thing I admired about your work is your perception to colour, and how you divide things with backgrounds without the need for lineart. Do you have any tips regarding capturing that kind of style in pixel work? Do you have any general tips as well for more fluid characters in drawing and animation? :]

hi there, thank you very much!!

i'm not fully sure i understand what you're asking but i will try to answer. feel free to send another ask if i missed something

for me it's about value (brightness when in black&white). and in the beginning i think of my sketch in big areas of value, dark and light respectively, with big big contrast around things i think are important (statue)

the rest of it i keep kind of low contrast, as long as those key areas are standing out i'm happy. it can help to put your art in black and white. i always flip my work constantly too so i can get a fresh view of what's going on

this one is a more soft version but the idea is the same, the trees stand out a lot but the grass fades. you can see 5 separate layers (foreground, main battle area, middle, back, and sky) and i wanted the grass to fade between layers.

what i do is i colour pick some grass, make my brush 50% opacity and draw over the background, then colour pick that again and use that as a middle/blend colour

i do that for almost everything, if i need things to be more smooth then i add more colours.

as for animations hmmm... ‼

i'm really not the most confident animator but for me going faster than the 100ms frame duration (which is default on aseprite) helped me a lot i think. something like 70ms or even 50ms feels so smooth but of course it is faster // more work

i also want to recommend this guys youtube channel, every time i had to animate something i went to a video of his and studied and learned from it

i hope that helps...! im not super good at articulating this stuff cos im not a thinker im a pheromone based organism so lmk

Yes and @missylanieous made me one just like this (but in pinks and purples and black) and it’s so fun to play with. I keep it in the car for car trips bc I have to be doing something with my hands.

You should probably commission one off of her :3

Do you have a fidget toy?

[dnd-apothecary]

Yeah, I’d watch Muppets Lord of the Rings
