Woo ! The Melaningifs Tumblr 500+ Follower celebration event ! Not a contest cause I’d never choose you guys over each other :’0 it’s all for funsies so no pressure!

🌸 Whats the event & How to participate

The objective of the event is to 🥁🥁🥁

Make an edit of yourself! What do I mean by that? Take a character from an anime/animated show or comic/manga and use the character to represent yourself ! Here’s an example of some I did for me !

I chose a base character with short hair and glasses because I also have short hair (naturally) and glasses, so I changed the color of the hair suit mine and my glasses are black so I changed that as well and ofc I gave her my skin tone !

Click here for an old editing tutorial of mine

It was made for how I make black edits but the skill set can be applied to editing other things like hair and etc, layer modes, colors and opacity are the key !

here’s another example I did !!

I found that manga is SUPER easy to edit, first edit ever was a manga actually but I’ve only done it twice up until now 😭 damn she looks a whole lot like me actually lmao if anyone wants to make fanart of me here ya go lmao !

🌸 Tips for editing Manga pages

- For manga changing colors is super easy just make sure you use a separate layer to color on it and change the coloring layer to multiply so that the outlines of the manga are visible

-If you want to change the color of an area that’s gray (for example the shirt) make a new layer and switch the layer mode to color and you should be good ! -Be sure to lower the opacity if the colors feel too harsh for you ! -If you want to change the hair color it’d be best to choose a manga character who’s hair isn’t black so that you can fill it in !

🌸 Rules !

you can make as many edits as you’d like and submit as many times as you like ! (I’d love to see what y’all make!)

Tag me ( @melaningifs ) and tag your submissions with #mel500 so I can see!!

There’s no deadline! Submit whenever you feel like !

Anyone of any identity/race/ethnicity/color etc can join ! please don’t feel left out just because you’re not black as well xD you’re all welcome here ! (as long as you don’t fall under my dni of course!)

Only represent an identity that is your own ! don’t make someone else, you’re making yourself only !

Don’t use other people’s fanart or original artwork ! use official works please !

Ask me if you need help ! Something you’re not getting or struggling to do? I’m here to help you out ! My askbox is always open for questions ! 🌸 Rewards

all I can really offer are edits lmao, everyone that participates can get a request slot ! It can also be fully customizable (to the best of my abilities) this includes hair color, eye, color and things like that, I’m trying to practice those for potential commissions in future but that’s tmi, if you don’t want of that it’s totally fine I’m just grateful you participated !

🌸 Extra Notes

when I get a good amount of submissions I’ll make a post compiling all of them like when your parents put your drawings on the fridge as a kid (atleast I think that’s what they do- I wouldn’t know 💀)

wowowow thank you all for 580+ followers?! IK it’s a 500 event when we’re literally almost at 600 💀 it’s exclusive here on tumblr because y’all interact with me the most and it’s super fun interacting with all of y’all !
