im into 60s-90 television, just a handful of anime + manga, Apex Legends, random niche movies, and a bunch of TV shows.

i mostly remain in the realm of psychological suspense, art films, and crime dramas.

feel free to inquire about a specific one, the worst i can say is 'no,' I am just not lenient to draw for a fandom I know nothing about.

hey rooo 😝 4-6 for the editing questions!

gatekeeping this post under the cut, it got lengthy 🤧🤧

4: If you can remember, why did you start editing?

Okay, so this may be a little off topic, but it still talks about editing LMFAO but I started editing mainly cuz one day I saw Minimooberrys renders and was like WOW okay, I want to learn to do THAT and editing, so she was a MASSIVE inspiration for me to start, not only that but I also watch solitasims and lovvvvvveeeddddd her stuff, and wanted to do what she did but mix in editing :) (I think that answers the question, idk I guess like, I've always wanted to edit, but more importantly the want to learn how to render and also do storytelling in TS4 helped motivate me to start editing if that's a better answer)

5: if you caption your edits, what do you decide to put in the caption?

I tend to keep the caption relatively clean (tags are where you get my reaction and shit LMAOO), if you take Leo and Roos posts for example, they're song related, so I'll put some lyrics that I think correlate to them and the scenes placed in the post ("and then you looked right back and caught my stare"), or sometimes scenes not necessarily mentioned in the post, but can be heavily implied or just assume occur ("It's really nice to talk to you, it's really nice to hold your hands," which implies that they talk a lot and that they do hold hands a lot, whether it be romantic or platonic 🤧). There's other situations where I don't have a song (tbf the Reo posts were the first posts where I did put songs agsiabs), like the valentines day prep posts, I just put "valentines day preparations: [sim perspective]", or like in earlier NSB posts, I just put prev / next cuz idfk what to put in the caption. With more recent posts, ive been trying to caption the posts with something related to the characters (like cataleyas drowning post, where it basically lays out the metaphor for the post, which is "too much love from the wrong person").

6: give us a quick breakdown of your editing process

WOW okay, LMAOO well, I'm gonna have to whip out my laptop for this one

For Cas shots: Usually i put cas shots together, so first thing I do is import the images I want to use in a 6000 by 3000 canvas (to preface: I do all my CAS ss in the dimensions 3000 by 3000), and I usually choose from a few mental presets, two headshots and a body shot, two head shots and a half body shot, three body shots, and theres more to list but im not gonna do all that LMFAO so after that, I place them in their positions and then erase the black background (which DOES get tedious when two screenshots sorta overlap and have to make sure theres no black left around the sim), after that incredibly tedious and unnecessarily long process, sometimes I play around with flipping the character around (in the case of two head shots and one body/half body shot, I make the headshots face toward each other, so basically headshot > body shot < headshot- if that makes sense), although that can be placed anywhere in the editing process sometimes I do it earlier on or later on doesnt really matter lmao. Around this point, its just final touches, looking for weird shadows (which is USUALLY more prominent in blender renders, but it can happen), places where shadows look a little too sharp, and cleaning up those spots. For the VERY VERY final touches, I use sharpen and depending on the shot, contrast or saturation, I sometimes use the hue tool to make a certain color brighter or a different color, however I avoid the latter because it creates a weird effect on the picture, the sharpen tool is important for this part, because I tend to make the sharpen effect stronger on closer shots (head shots), or i dont change settings that much for decently faraway shots (half body shots) and i try to make full body shots to not have SUPER strong sharpen, but i tend to go on the lower end for full body shots aisuhdg

For in game screenshots: This is a bit different, so I import the screenshot that I'm using into a 3840 by 2160 canvas (the size the screenshot was taken with), depending on the shot i may add text, the font i use is Walter Turncoat (in most instances, they vary for different posts lmao), I make sure to color the text depending on whos talking or whats going on, a good example is in the catty drowning post and VDAY prep post, I dont do "[character]: [text]", i like the element of figuring out whos speaking (EVEN if it can be frustrating for me), i try not to make it too challenging to figure out, around my level of reading comprehension (/j), so like Catty is pink, calico is yellow, etc etc. I dont use as much sharpen with these shots since theyre clean as is. A lot of my shots like Gifs are pre-planned and thus is a different story, but in short I usually just edit the gif frames as usual and then put them together later. I also have a custom set of black bars to put around my screenshots bc even tho i do use reshades black bars, sometimes bloom or DOF messes with them, and have to put a clean set above them. I dont really know what to say that is quick, I guess for more "complex" shots, like with moodlets or text messages, i just get the assets online and then edit them for myself 😭

and LASTLY, for renders: Trying to keep this short, I usually just do what I do for the aforementioned shots, but like I said in the CAS shots, weird and sharp shadows are more prominent and I just edit those to make them cleaner and then also just add sharpen and make it brighter or more contrast-y idk 🤧

#good lord the last question is NOT a quick breakdown im sorry i just talk WAY too damn much stg #if i had included screenshots it may have been a bit shorter idk #these are all long but i swear most of the time it doesnt ACTUALLY take this long in most cases #knowing me i probably missed SOMETHING in here that is like crucial to what i do in my process but wtv ☠️#yapping

Hey, I need some help and I hope you can help me with my (actual) despair..

I adore your art and I got inspired to try out drawing digitally. If I‘m not mistaken you use a tablet for digital drawing, right?

Anyways, I want to buy one and I have no clue what to search for. I tried looking up online what to watch out for, but I guess I thought it‘d be good to get some advice from another person on this. So: What do you think is important about such a tablet ? What works for you? (I know -of course- that what works for you might not work for others, however getting an opinion by someone experienced regarding this sounded like a good idea)

Thank you in advance, maybe you can help me :) and I’m so sorry if this sounds like I’m all over the place, which I think I am (as usually).. {:

This ask is very dramatic, haha! But digital drawing supplies is expensive as hell so I understand ^_^ ! I've actually tried quite a few of the tablets out there over the years so yeah, there's definitely differences to them.

Currently I use a Wacom 2017 Mobilestudio Pro with the highest specs money could buy at the time. I also have an ipad and an ipad pencil. Here’s a convenient photo of all of them from my print shop posts that i used to compare the colors:

Previously I have used a 2014 Wacom Cintiq and a 2011 Wacom Intuous Tablet and a 2007 Wacom Intuous Tablet. My favorite is absolutely my mobile studio. You can see in the photo how small it is. It’s heavy (but hey, free weight lifting!) but holding it feels like a sketchbook. I adore it! It runs some huge photoshop files. And it has 3D capability. I did the entirety of my 2018 portfolio piece INCLUDING RENDER all on this beast. And yes it runs slow if you are taxing its processing power and yes there are some things it just cant do, but for its small size its pretty mind blowing. Basically the Mobilestudio is a laptop replacement for artists, and I low key worship it.

(thats a full 3D scene with 160k poly character, lighting, AND fog all rendered real time on this baby)(in marmoset which sure it got to the point where marmoset was at 99.8% and i had to juggle the lights like crazy but i kept it running!)

I used to use my ipad more because jumping into digital color on that was easier than understanding photoshop. I’m much more comfortable with photoshop now, so I prefer that. But for quick color studies that feel like actually painting the Ipad and procreate definitely wins! The nice thing about the apple pencil thing is that all the functions are completely hidden. Unlike Wacom which is very customizable and particular, the apple pencil is just connect and go. It feels as natural as it can, and I think it would be the best option for a beginner or someone who doesn’t want to invest in something like the mobile studio. @ramilicious was trying out procreate so gonna tag her to see if she has any insight.

The cintiq is the most intense option lol! I loved my cintiq but the only reason we had one was because we were an educational research group at a university and got a discount haha. The small cintiqs are not worth it in my opinion. It’s just annoying having such a small screen and it means you almost have to have a second screen set up for reference. It’s also basically just a smart monitor so you will still have to have a good tower PC (actually wait are PC’s still towers? I haven’t been PC shopping in a minute) to hook it up to that can run all the programs you want to use. I’m biased here but I prefer the mobile studio. The screen is bigger on the largest cintiqs - so more room to draw, which is nice, but it also means you usually need two people to lift the darn thing. (my mobile studio on the other hand fits neatly into my fancy hipster backpack and travels with me everywhere - I used to work in museums and libraries and cafes and boba tea shops. it also serves as a conversation starter. and a way to wow curious kids bc im sitting here casually sculpting an entire 3D person on a screen! wow!)

The cheapest options are obviously the tablets. These are great! You can’t go wrong with wacom - and the Intuous med/large size is the ideal size in my opinion. Depending on your age hand/wrist pain can be a thing. And if you get the tiny tablets and have a big monitor connected to it, the tiny movements in your wrist can cause problems later on. However, my bff in college had a tiny wacom tablet and used it all four years! The only thing to know about the Intuous and other types of tablets with no screen is that the disconnect between hand/eye is something you are going to have to learn. It does not come naturally! I wish someone had told me that when I got my first one in high school. I was so discouraged by how hard it was to draw with my hand on the the table and looking at a cursor on the screen that I didn’t use it a lot. Now of course, decades later (ouch, old age), it’s as easy as breathing haha. It just takes practice. The other nice thing about the tablet is that if you already have like a laptop and a backpack, its really easy just to slip the tablet into the backpack with everything else. My 2007 Intuous got me through all of college, and is still in such good condition that I was able to give it to a friend’s daughter last year who just started high school and wanted something to get started in digital art on. Prior to getting the cintiq in 2014 I used the 2011 Intuous at my education research job - so basically I spent all day sculpting on it for 3 years, and honestly those were the years that really drilled in that hand/eye coordination for me.

I’m actually planning on buying a new mobileStudio pro sometime this year to replace my current one. There are a few drawbacks on this option: the technology is still new, so expect troubleshooting. Sometimes updates to the OS screw with my tablet settings and I have to fight with windows to get it to work at full functionality. It also overheats a LOT - I’m hoping the newest models don’t run as hot. Legit this computer would love me to remain in a 60 degree room at all times. :/ Tragically, I live in Southern California so this is impossible. (The heat was less of an issue in Pittsburgh and Seattle). Over the years my mobilestudio has overheated so many times that the screen actually has color damage in spots. I still find it perfectly usable though, and the computer’s benefits far outweigh the heating issue. But I am also someone who hates the idea of being “tied down” to a place, and the thought of investing in a full computer/cintiq/monitor setup scares the crap out of me when I want to be able to pack up and move wherever my job takes me. \o/

This was probably more information than you wanted, but I wish someone had helped me out with all this stuff when I was starting out <3 ^_^ Feel free to ask any other questions you might think of! Though if you have computer spec questions ironically I am not the person for that LOL I have my go to guy who tells me what’s what in the graphics card / monitor world and I just buy what Han suggests bc he’s obsessed with always knowing the new thing.

Also my dream PC set up is....

UNF. that is a thing of beauty. logo and lights and all. so extra. and so so unnecessary.

TLDR; If you already have an ipad, get yourself a pencil and procreate and try it out to start. If you want to use an existing laptop or computer to draw, get a nice Intuous tablet and draw draw draw till that hand-table to screen feels natural. OR if you want to go crazy like me get that expensive mobilestudio, take it out in public and bask in the oogling stares of everyone around you like you’re Shuri or Tony Stark and using some Unknowable Magic Technology. (one time my car’s tire popped during the days I was working on my hyper real Gas Pump for my portfolio and I had a whole room full of car guys looking over my shoulder in awe as I sat in the waiting room with my studio pro on my lap and poly modeled the base mesh while my baby fire demon was being fixed haha)

Misha NEEDS to get his way or else...

So listen... @catatonic1242 and I went to VanCon this weekend and had the most amazing time! Not the least of which was our interaction with Misha in the autograph line. Let me give some backstory though because the context is needed trust me...

So my girl Ashley and I went to Seattle Con this year with Silver tickets right... so I bought a painting that I loved from an artist on here (@c-kaeru) and it happened to be a nude drawing of Castiel bleeding a rainbow of colors from his wings. It’s a gorgeous piece and I got it thinking it would be perfect for Misha to sign. WELL, we all know what happened at Seattle so I won’t go into it but long story short the weekend was canceled and I didn’t get any signatures.

Fast forward to VanCon (which I purchased using the Seattle refund money). I took the painting thinking nothing of it because, besides the canceled Seattle trip, the only other con I’ve gone to is Vegas which I didn’t have any autograph tickets for. At some point Ashley asks me what I have for Misha to sign so I tell her and after a moment of silence, in which the problem is starting to dawn on me, she asks me if she can see it. What I hadn’t thought about was the fact that they might not like that it’s a nude because it might make the celebrities feel uncomfortable. At THIS point I’m starting to panic because it was never my intention to make anyone uncomfortable and I hate doing stuff like that so I’m thinking I should probably change what I have signed.

ENTER ASHLEY AGAIN saying we can just cover the Angel junk with a sticky note or something and then if they ask we just tell them. Simple right? So we go all over this foreign city looking for a sticky note y’all, really just trying to find ANYTHING that will make it bareable for me to hand the thing over to be signed or not signed according to their rules. Only a few hours before the signing we found a random reception desk in an inside market that had a pad and we asked for one of the notes, which I trimmed down to fit nicely over this full-frontal dick (a beautifully drawn one mind you).

I’m STILL freaking out though because I’m a wreck in normal circumstances in front of these people but now I have to face possibly being rejected in front of my GISH overlord and favorite TV angel... anyway it comes time for the signing and Ashely has me go first because she wants to support me (but mostly she wants to watch what happens because she’s a turd).

I hand the drawing to the handler who looks at it and then looks at me and says “Is there something inappropriate under the sticky note?” Now... if I were actually trying to cause a scene I might’ve said something snarky like “what do you THINK is under it?!” But I’m being as meek as possible so they understand that im not trying to just cause problems and I say “it’s anatomically correct.” Ashley swears I said it with just a LITTLE bit of attitude because it was a nude drawing and what did the lady *think* was under the sticky note?!? But I honestly can’t remember how I said it because I think I started to black out.

So the handler says “we’re not supposed to sign stuff like this” all while Misha is leaning over trying to grab it from her. Once she says this he says “don’t be fucking stupid” and finally gets the drawing from her. Then I step up to him and as I do he takes the sticky note off and I’m pretty sure I fucking DIED ok, like I don’t like confrontation and he just cursed at his handler because of what I’ve brought to sign and now he’s about to see a rendering of his character’s DONG ok!!! Jesus I’m blushing just thinking about it. So He looks at it for a second, signs his name RIGHT UNDER THE ANGELIC PENIS, and then writes something in parenthesis that I can’t read because I’m dead. However I do notice that the handler reads it and she snorts at whatever is there.

Now, Ashley, standing right next to me, reads it and chuckles so Misha winks at her and then hands me the painting. I didn’t actually see the wink part she told me this after. Anywhoooo I’m still partially blacking out so I look down at my drawing and it says Misha Collins (it’s way bigger) !!!

Then, amazingly through the fog of my rapidly unwinding brain, I hear Ashley say “actually can you sign the fabric, and with a silver pen?” He had been about to sign with black ink on the metal part of her marathon medal and her sudden words stop him cold. He had gotten one line of black ink on the metal and so he looks up at her, COMPLETELY put off by her interruption, and says something like “are you kidding? I’ve already started to sign it!” Then the handler says “it’s going to come off that” and he gives her a death glare and then makes a big huff about switching pens and maybe he says something else I can’t remember because I’m a dead puddle on the floor and my ears aren’t picking everything up.

And THENNNN my AMAZING, LOVELY, NOT AT ALL BACK STABBING girl Ashley says (as he’s signing the fabric part) “she wanted me to tell you that I beat your time.” I think my mouth dropped open and I couldn’t form words because, as we’d discussed earlier, she was going to mention that she’d beat his marathon time and that he was her running inspiration, and INSTEAD decided to shove me the rest of the way under the bus by pinning it ALL on me (tbf I talked her into telling him she beat his time but STILL man, dick move!)(heheee dick move. See what I did there?)

He was INSTANTLY on the defensive! He asked her what her time was and she reiterated that she beat him and then for some god forsaken reason I decided to tell him (with some attitude) that it had been her first marathon too. He still had the medal in his hand and he asked her again “WHAT WAS YOUR TIME?!” So Ashley says, because she’s still trying to remember what the actual time was, “I beat you by four minutes” and Misha is still staring directly at her and aks again “WHAT WAS THE TIME?!” So she finally tells him and then he turns to me with death in his eyes and says “my first marathon was (insert time that was faster then Ashely’s).”

You guys! He was SO DETERMINED for us to know that his first marathon time was MUCH faster THANK YOU and that his dick is WAY BIGGER OK?!?!

Then the handler says “that was twenty years ago” and he turns that death glare on her and says “I will get you fucking fired from the job you fucking hate” and then turns back to Ashley and asks her which marathon it was so she tells him and then after a moment he asks “why would you bring that up?” And hands her the medal. I don’t remember if she responded but I’m starting to leave and so is she and he looks at her again and asks “what’s her name? Give me her name so I can put her on a list!” I actually thought at the time that he was asking for HER name but he was actually asking for mine!!! Neither of us said anything we just walked away while maintaining eye contact until we couldn’t anymore 🤣

Misha Collins is SUCH a hilarious brat during these things and I can’t believe I spurred him into a reaction during my first ever autograph! Again, I honestly wasn’t meaning to cause trouble, and he wasn’t actually upset, but I did cause it and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
