I haven't done shit with OC Rachel in months, but I did finally decide on her home region and her main team (I'll have a few in the box). The decisions took so long because I wondered if I should've made her Unovian because I'm American and Unova is based on the New York area. But I decided against it for 4 reasons.

I never got to play BW and BW2, so I have little knowlege of the games outside of select characters (submas, N) and the basic plot.

I've only visited NYC once for a school trip, so I have very little exposure to the real-world counterpart (am from Appalachia). I don't know the culture asides from they don't drink sweet tea. Likewise, Alola is based on Hawaii, which I've never visted.

Although Diamond or Pearl (I can't remember which one I had, because I really wanted one but I got the other) wasn't my first pokemon game, Platinum was my favorite. And because I didn't have a chance to play any of the later games, it still is (I plan to get a switch sometime soon). I liked the story, the music, and I liked a lot more of the character and pokemon designs than I did in Leaf Green and Sapphire (I got both games late, like shortly before Emerald came out, so I don't remember which one I had first).

Speaking of liking the pokemon designs in Gen 4 more, quite a few of my favorite pokemon aren't available in Gen 5 based on research I did. I need my babies.

Anyway, here's my Oc's main team. I guess I could make her a traveller and give her pokemon from elsewhere, but that's a dilenma for later.

I'm still learning how to use CSP (going very slowly because I rarely have time and energy simutaneously), but I'd like to give her an official character design at some point. I also hope that I could have her interact with Ren and Pecha again. And maybe see if a few other other people would be willing to interact with her.

I love her!!

With Ren, i made her travel and get all her Pokémon to make sense why she has a Cutiefly and such while being from Johto and based in Unova (cause I’m a filthy self shipper (said in a joking manner because I love self shipping so much)). You can do the same for sure! Doesn’t even have to be for a job. Maybe Rachel went on vacay and got a Pokémon y’know?

Keep sending me stuff about her tho. I love hearing about her and other ocs!!

And sorry this took so long doll!!!! I am terrible!

Also what is the list of types and tallies?? Is it like what they’re super effective against vs what’s super effective against them? I have never memorized type advantages so I’m not sure!

Sharpedo my beloved! A good boy! A bitey boy! I love him.

Heya, my name is Klaus. I'm a hentai artist and professional game developer. This post acts as an introduction, as well as a semi-incoherent rant.

... Enjoy?

I'm in a bit of a rut at the moment, I haven't been happy for a while now and I feel like I need some sort of space to write about my thoughts and stuff. I know very little about tumblr and how it works, which is part of the reason I picked it as my little "vent space". I've never been fully active on social media, but I know that I really hate Twitter, Facebook is frustrating to use, TikTok is overwhelming and irritating, and Reddit has a lot of unnecessary negativity floating around constantly. Hopefully this place is a little bit better. I'm not expecting people to follow or even see the stuff I post, but I hope the environment is less hostile and irritating than its competition.

I'm in my early 20s, and I'm a real goddamn nerd (you know, in case the whole "game developer and hentai artist" introduction didn't make that obvious). I love Nintendo games, heavy metal, cats, and vtubers. I have an off-beat sense of humour, don't know how else to describe it. Earthbound and Monkey Island kind of stuff.

I'm definitely on the weirder side (again, in case that wasn't obvious), at least partially because I'm autistic. I doodle ahegao faces while waiting for meetings to start, I have a compilation of various Hololive vtubers screaming as my alarm in the morning, and I have a Spotify playlist that jumps from Metallica's recent "Screaming Suicide" to the full version of that "Japanese Goblin" song that went viral like a year ago.

I'm a massive degenerate (in case that wasn't obvious [3× COMBO]). I have the whole starter package, a daki, an oppai mousepad, and like a dozen physical doujinshi.

They say tattoo artists shouldn't be tattoo artists unless they themselves have been tattoo'd, because they should know what the experience is like.

...Let's just say I'm glad the same doesn't go for hentai artists.

I speak a variety of languages, but I'll primarily be posting in English. Might throw in some Japanese dialogue into a drawing or something if I'm in the mood, it happens.

I've studied both art and game design. I'm a character artist/animator, and a generalist game designer. Don't feel like I'm particularly good at either one of them to be honest with you. : P

I use Clip Studio Paint EX to draw, and I'm slowly getting used to its animation tools as well. (I've mainly used OpenToonz, Krita, and FireAlpaca in the past, but I love the CSP brushes and layout so much that I'm trying to switch over entirely.)

I have experience with a lot of game engines, ranging from the Unreal Engine (aka my mortal enemy) to the much more simple and comfortable GameMaker Studio. I've worked on a variety of projects, some solo, others with different groups of people. Very unlikely anything you've played though.

I'm probably going to be posting a hentai drawing or three here. I tend to draw lewd shit when I'm sad, dunno why. Never had a place to post them before. I might just post a quick 5-minute sketch, or maybe a rough animation. I don't really know yet. Might do it daily, might do it once every few months.

Like I said, I haven't been happy for a good while now. I jump in and out of depressive episodes pretty often but this one's managed to last for a little longer than they usually do. I would love to tell my friends about it, but I just feel like I'd be a massive nuisance to them.

There's a lot that's bothering me, and I feel like I have to express it somehow. I'm not really a fan of "venting" on the internet, maybe because it reminds me of my teenage years, I don't know for sure- but posting it here feels "safe", it's in some random blog post no one will read, not an alarming message on discord or whatsapp, so I won't have to worry about bothering anyone, and I'll still get to write about how I feel.

Nothing I do feels right. My drawings look bad. My conversations are stale. My sleep schedule is fucked. My code is messy. I know things will get better eventually, I've been through this before, but it's hard to convince myself that that's actually the case and not just something I'm making up.

I've been feeling extremely lonely lately. As you can probably imagine if you've read all the stuff written above, I'm not exactly what you'd call a "chick magnet". I haven't been in a relationship since I was in my mid-teens, and the one I was in back then was long-distance. I haven't held a girl's hand since I was five or so and we were practically forced to do so in kindergarten. I've never kissed anyone in my life. I'm awful at nonverbal communication, and I get really jumpy whenever someone touches me, neither of which are great in a relationship. Finding someone with the same interests as me is practically impossible. I googled a whole bunch of statistics a few months back and came to the conclusion that every time I meet someone in the country I'm currently in, there is a 0.000773% chance that we have some interests in common, are both attracted to each other, and that they are single. (Oh yeah, I like numbers. Forgot to mention that.) That 0.000773% is obviously just an estimate, but I tried to be as "fair" as possible with the calculation. I very rarely leave my house, my eyesight is really rough so driving is out of the question, which means meeting new people is a rare occurance. At this point I feel like the best move might just be to give up and accept that I'll be alone forever, but that just makes me even sadder.

My real name isn't Klaus. It's an alias I came up with a few years ago that I only ended up using once to post a drawing. The drawing in question was on the lewder side of things, and I didn't want it to be associated with my other alias because no one knew about my "un-seiso" drawings. I've improved a lot as an artist since posting that old drawing and decided to pick the alias back up.

My reason for this isn't that my drawings are some kind of "DEEP DARK SECRET" that I have to keep from anyone- to be completely honest with you, I don't really care if anyone finds out what my main alias is. I just want to keep my hentai drawings separate from my more, ahem, "family friendly brand", that's all.

Sorry for rambling so much. It's very, very late, and I should be asleep by now. Bless your heart if you actually read all that crap. Cheers.

PS. Unless I decide to change it in the future, I realised right before posting this that I never set a profile picture, so I doodled an ahegao face as fast as I could, and for some reason I actually kind of like it. Really wish it weren't off-center though, might fix that tomorrow.

damn your art style is so pleasing to the eye :0

do you use any particular art software, brushes or technique? I'm a beginner at digital art, so I'll take all the advice I can. thank you for your time!

Hi anon!! Thank you so much, it really means the world to me <3

There’s so many tangents I can go on to give different advice for you, I think because we often think there’s a concrete formula to improve. I hope the advice I give here will help down the road, and that I don’t sound too all over the place here! (lol)

As for programs and such, I use Clip Studio Paint EX. I used to be a PRO user for quite some time but upgraded for the extra features (mostly for webtoon creators/animators), it isn’t a necessary switch at all if you only want to focus on illustration.

Paint tool SAI is also a good lightweight alternative! Before I got a better laptop, my old HP couldn’t really handle CSP; it lagged a whole bunch.

---

I tend to jump around a LOT between brushes to toy around with effects and stuff, so it’s hard to give a specific set, however I use these the most:

https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1697201

https://graphixly.com/products/theonewithbear-sumi-brush-pack-for-clip-studio-paint

Along with the darker pencil (default brush in CSP)

and a few brushes from the DAUB brush pack.

I don’t use every single brush in every set all the time either though! Usually when it comes to picking brushes for yourself, it 100% relies on how comfortable you are with using them. You'll definitely know what feels good for you, and what doesn't when you try them out!

Some people (like me) enjoy more textured brushes, and others are comfy with clean brushes for lineart, and others like soft watercolor brushes or oil brushes.

Don’t be afraid to tweak brushes either! It takes some time to learn how to do this, but there are lots of tutorials out there.

---

I think the most important thing is to first find something that you enjoy drawing/painting a lot, and experimenting a bunch on that. Don’t be afraid to try new things!! You don’t always have to follow the basic workflow of sketch > lineart > color > shading. Mix it up a bit! Include colors in your sketches, paint over your sketches if you don’t like doing lineart! If you do like making super clean lineart, work on different types of lines to make it more fun! Art is like a form of play and messing around, it shouldn’t feel stressful. Be willing to make lots of bad art (even though that can be hard sometimes), so that in the future there’ll be less bad art and tons of good art! Don’t worry too much on developing a style, since this will come naturally the more you draw.

---

(also, a word to those who post art on social media!) -

Don’t ever forget to draw what YOU enjoy, rather than focusing on what you think others would like to see!

For a long time before this year I felt like I was constantly hitting a brick wall, and I didn’t know why I didn’t like drawing as much as I used to, and why my character art felt so boring to me. When the covid pandemic hit, I was forced to take a loooong look at my art, and decide ‘I still have a long way to go..’

Something clicked when I sat down to work on some acrylic paintings on canvas for my uni portfolio: I wasn’t allowed to include fanart, since the university didn’t accept that. I also didn’t want to only include digital art either, so that I could add some variety! So, I painted.

I was forced to think more about colors (something I was neglecting, since it’s much easier to color digitally and hit the undo button 10000000 times when I wasn’t happy with something)

During that time, I found that I really REALLY liked painting landscapes and working with bright colors, so I also started to incorporate that into my digital art. Turns out other people enjoyed that as much as I loved creating it, so from there on out, I’ve just been toying around and experimenting on new things ever since!

---

Anyway I hope this doesn’t sound too abstract. This is my first time giving formal advice so my brain is going into overdrive mode.

#asks #I decided to include the last bit for new and veteran artists :) I hope it helps those feeling stumped and art blocked #We're all learning after all!

have you used clip studio art? and if you have do you prefer it over sai?

I just bought it and I’ve been working with it for the past week (nothing like EXTREME DRAWING DEADLINES to force you to learn a new program), but I think I’ll be switching to it for drawing comic work (lettering stays in Photoshop). Just the ‘refer to other layers’ coloring tool is winning me over, not to mention the vector layers and stuff.

For painting though, I’m not sure, we’ll see.

Clip Studio Paint is way more complicated than SAI2, but once you get the hang of it I can see why people prefer it. I get some brush lag with CSP though, something I never got with SAI2, and it’s annoying.

I know where you coming from. While my mom has never been a criminal, she has behaved in toxic ways to say the least. And for the longest time I had the exact same thought you expressing here that she had so much negativity in her life that I needed to be a positive one.But unfortunately, that really hardly ever how it works. Its a habit and it takes hard work and time to break it. U gotta be self aware and take time to notice what you doing and then reverse it and change it. It hard work and it sucks but its worth it.. If the Garleans moved more troops in to defend the bases, it be an aggressive move that breaks the peace. If the alliance makes a move against the bases, it could force the empire to move the war into full scale again. No matter who starts the war, it will likely be a nasty affair, with high casualties on both sides given both sides have generals capable of wiping out hundreds of soldiers with minimal effort. We are expected to be absolutely perfect, successful and joyous so that people will see us in a decent light. In the media either we are a beautiful being that makes women jealous or a fun jokester not taken seriously. 구미출장샵 It kinda bleeds into the expectation of gay men to, that they must be effeminate.Also most parents would not like to have their child be trans, and there are many case of domestic violence because of that.Things are better day by day though, and I wish that one day I could get rid of this in front of my name for good.TLDR: Thais are laid back and let people do or be anything as long as it not bothersome, but that does not mean people would not judge us.KyleJasonSarg 6 points submitted 3 days agoThis is a problem that faces long running reality competitions. But wait; the competition doesn't stop there. Next comes the award for Best of Breed. Dogs that have earned the points necessary to be champions can enter this race with the Winners Dog and Winners Bitch. A father figure doesn't mean an actual father who's there all the time lol lol if he did any more than everything he did without actually being in a serious relationship with lorelai (not till late in the show anyway), it would just be weird. I think the reason they showed so much of Rory wanting max as her stepdad is because it was to show why Lorelai was always hesitant of bringing another man into their lives. She was afraid her flightiness would affect Rory and it did. I always thought it would be a cool feature if there was a "central repository" Krita could connect to for downloading resource bundles like CSP. Users could look at thumbnails and descriptions for each resource bundle other users upload. The they can download and automatically install the resource bundles right from Krita.. Oh my god that fucking terrible. Doomfist was definitely a nightmare for me when I was playing Ana. At that point I think I would just switch to Widow or Brigitte or something I can stop him with haha. FoundationFoundation is the foundation of all makeup application(no pun intended). There are many different kinds offered on the market these days. From full coverage to light coverage tinted moisturizer. I say this because one of their implemented policies, as reported in a blog post in 구미출장샵 2017 by Youtube's vice president of product management Johanna Wright, is that "comments of this nature are abhorrent and we work. To report illegal behaviour to law enforcement. Starting this week we will begin taking an even more aggressive stance by turning off all comments on videos of minors where we see these types of comments."1 However, in the wormhole I still see countless users time stamping and sharing social media info.

Do You Have the Keys to Solving Conflict?

Today I want to talk about something that has come up a lot this year, just because there has been so much stress, and people have been away from their normal habits and routines. That topic is CONFLICT. Whether that conflict is at home, with a business associate, with a client, or a family member.

The reality is that conflict makes most people very uncomfortable. We don't want conflict. We want our life to be smooth, and we want people to be happy with us. For many real estate agents, that is exactly why they got in the business. The business to take care of clients and to solve problems - not to create problems.

youtube

Conflict can start almost anywhere. It is either conflict that you do have control over, or conflict that you don't. In real estate, you have two totally different parties: one wanting to buy a house, and one wanting to sell a house - often times there is conflict. When you are working with different agents that may not have the same work style as you, that can create conflict. If you are racing in and out of your home and you're late for a family event, maybe that is creating conflict at home. Sometimes conflict is caused because it's a reoccurring thing (like somebody's chronic lateness). Other times conflict arises when somebody loses it with you, when you have done nothing wrong (you got stuck in traffic and had no control over it).

Whatever the conflict is, there are three essential keys to dealing with conflict: accountability, timing, and (the most important key) taking full responsibility.

For example, you're coming home late every night, and your family members are getting upset with you. This creates conflict about your evening schedule, you need to hold yourself accountable for what is causing the conflict, address the conflict in a reasonable time, and take responsibility to resolve it. If it's conflict that you do have control over, I have found that people are very receptive when you are really honest about it.

Approaching your family honestly and saying, "I'm having a really hard time with time management, and I can see that it is really affecting the family. First, I want to take responsibility. Second, I want to apologize. Third, I've got to make a plan moving forward, and I might need your help with that, and check in with you."

It is really important that you name and claim what the conflict is, and identify whether if it's conflict that you can control, or conflict can't control. You can control your temper and what you say. You can control your time. You might have to plan different or switch things around. Conflict begins when somebody is expecting something from you and you break that promise, or that expectation is not what that person had expected. Expectations are a big one.

One very important thing to remember about conflict: You will never resolve conflict using emotion. It does not work. Conflict coupled with emotion usually results in more conflict, more intense conversation, and unresolved conflict.

I'm a bit of a spicy girl, and I get upset occasionally. There are times when I want to snap at someone. I have had to learn over the years that there is a time to say, and there is a time to stay. By that, I mean there is a time to say something, and there is a time to stay still. A lot of times when I am dealing with conflict, I actually will not respond to the conflict that moment. I'm too heated and too emotional to be calm and rational. By taking a little time and distance, I can better spot the source of the conflict and respond accordingly.

If you cannot accept responsibility, apologize, and give a corrective plan moving forward, you probably will not get the results that you want. That's where you may need to take some time and sleep on it. It's OK to say to someone, "I can see it upsets you, I want to resolve this conflict, but I want to take some time to really think about this. It seems to be such an important issue to you, and I want to respect that."

I find that a lot of agents are feeling their business is being held back because they are afraid of it. They don't want to hire an assistant, because they don't want to have conflict with that person. They find that they are not going after listings they would really like to get because they are worried that maybe it's a high price listing, and they might have conflict with that type of a really sophisticated seller. But avoiding conflict isn't serving their business any better.

It is really important that you have a conflict plan in your business and you know how to face conflict. When you do, the rest of your business falls into place. Once you learn how to deal with conflict, you rarely have to avoid it.

Speaking up and being strong isn't easy for everyone. That I why I am so happy to announce that in just a few weeks I will be holding a very special class co-taught by Jay Agoado to help agents in the field with this very issue.

Speak Up and Make More Money will be unlike any class you have taken before. We are going to be getting into the nitty-gritty of conflict, speaking your truth, and finding resolution in everything from conflict with your clients, with other agents, in a presentation, and more. We are going to get uncomfortable with the goal of moving forward towards resolution. We have fewer than 20 seats left for this class, so make sure you reserve yours today!

Join us at the Lynnwood Convention Center September 22nd and 23rd for our Conflict Workshop with Denise and Jay Agoado to learn how to Speak Up and Make More Money!

Caretaker-AU FAQ

The Caretaker of the Ruins is an AU in which Chara reaches adulthood. They have taken on the responsibility of guiding the fallen humans through the Ruins.

(Note: Please don’t send messages via the outdated “fanmail” tool. Instead, send an Ask or Submission.)

Blog Questions | Story Questions | Why didn’t you answer my ask?

Blog Questions

Q: Update schedule? A: The story is complete! We are now answering asks, reblogging fan content, and posting behind-the-scenes content as we like.

Q: Is this an ask blog? / [Question addressed to character.] A: This is not an ask blog! We may sometimes respond to certain asks with character reactions, but characters will not be answering any questions!

Q: Where’s the coffee bonus art? A: Coffee art and coffee goals are here. You can find other artwork categories on the Contents page. Keep track of coffee updates here.

Q: Can I use your art for my Tumblr icon? A: Sure! If you do, kindly credit us in your blog description.

Q: Can I make fanart/fic/etc? A: Absolutely! Just @ mention us or tag it with #caretaker au (no dashes) so we’ll see it! You can see the fan content we’ve reblogged here.

Q: Can I dub your comic? A: Yes you may! All we ask is that you include credit at the beginning of your video, as well as link our blog in the description. Then, let us know you made it so we can enjoy it too!

Q: Can I translate this comic into [language]? A: Sure! All we ask is that you keep the blog’s URL at the bottom of each page and link to us when you post it. You can find a textless version of the comic here. (Back up links: Memory: Bonds, Interlude: Power, Ch. 4, Memory: Edge, Interlude: Bravery, Ch. 5.) Then let us know and we’ll include your translations on our Table of Contents!

Q: What fonts do you use? The fonts are AB Flock Text (dialogue) and Mission Gothic (chapter titles). Both fonts are free for personal use. (We used to use Stanberry.)

Q: How do you make the comic? What software programs do you use? A: Minty sketches the page on paper, Eruto lines and colors in Clip Studio, and Minty then adds the finishing touches in CSP and Photoshop. See the About for details.

Q: How long does it take to draw the comic? A: Between two artists, each page takes at least 15-25 hours from sketching to publishing. That means we spend 30-50 hours a week on the comic between school and work! This time does not include answering asks, managing the blog, and creating/streaming bonus art. Caretaker never sleeps!

Q: How do you answer all those Asks at once? A: It’s a process! We Draft each Ask individually, screenshot them, batch process them in Photoshop with a custom Action, add the processed Ask images in Tumblr text post, then write in replies between the Asks. It takes a while, but it certainly looks nice, doesn’t it?

Story Questions

Q: Chara and Frisk’s age? A: Chara is 36. Frisk is 12.

Q: Why do Frisk’s eyes turn yellow? A: Many of you guessed correctly. They flash yellow when Frisk Saves/Loads.

Q: Is [character] in the AU? A: You will have to wait and see!

Q: What areas will Frisk go to? A: Keep reading to find out!

Q: Why is [character] doing this?? A: Whatever it is, it will probably be explained later.

Q: What happened to Asriel’s arm?? A: See Interlude: Bravery

Q: [Other story questions.] A: Please check out the Story Trivia for answers first!

Why didn’t you answer my ask?

We get a LOT of asks. Which is great! We read every single one, along with replies, tags, and submissions. However, with our limited time we can only answer a choice few. Here’s what you can do to increase the chances of getting a reply.

Send it off anon! We’re more likely to respond privately than publicly.

Don’t ask for spoilers! Also, check this FAQ, Character page, and About page. We rarely respond to questions we’ve already answered.

Be funny and/or clever! We love jokes. We love theories. We’re more likely to publish these so everyone can see them.

Be polite! We don’t like rudeness. Kindness counts!

Be... lucky? Sometimes we get a bunch of great asks but they are all so similar we can only pick one to represent the masses. Still, it’s always worth testing your luck!

Remember, if you really really REALLY want your comments to be seen, it may be worth posting it as a Reply! Replies won’t get stuck in our inbox and are immediately readable by anyone who checks the notes. And we check Replies too!

This post will be edited as more questions become relevant. If a new question is added to the FAQ, it may be reblogged so everyone can see the answer. Thank you!
