In regards to this excellent post, I’d also like to make a post on how I designed my own logo. Zenith’s post gives an excellent breakdown of what elements go into a VTuber logo and things to keep in mind, but not so much how one gets from an idea to a finished logo. So I wanted to share my process, which goes through most of the basic process I learned while studying graphic design in community college.

Before doing anything else, I had to do research. I knew the general style I was going for; I wanted to evoke the y2k aesthetic, or at least somewhere in the late 90s/early 2000s. In particular I wanted to evoke the bright, optimistic aesthetic of certain games I played as a kid (DDR, late 90s to early 2000s Sonic games, Kirby Air Ride, etc.), as well as the Eurobeat music genre, which I’m a big fan of and is part of my overall “theme”. 

(Granted, I mostly find myself streaming gothic horror-esque games, but... A bitch can contain multitudes)

So with these ideas in mind, I spent a lot of time looking at y2k graphic design, researching different logos (for example, I looked at some racing logos as well), and eventually I put together an inspiration sheet with logos I wanted to evoke. Not all of these are from the same period, but they have a lot of similar vibes

Do you see some of the common elements? Text in dense blocks, lots of bold outlines, often a sense of motion, blobby geometric shapes, sans-serif fonts, bright colors. These were some of the things I wanted to keep in mind for my logo.

With my research done, it was time to design the emblem. I really like motorcycles, and they’re... technically supposed to be part of my theme even though I always forget to post about them... So I wanted my emblem to be a motorcycle helmet. (This also fits in with the eurobeat theme, since racing and driving fast is a common theme of eurobeat lyrics, albeit usually about cars and not motorcycles lol.) I sketched out a few variations on what I had in mind.

I incorporated my horns into the design, since they’re a big part of yknow, me. I also tried a few different decorative elements; The shooting stars are a motif sometimes seen in y2k graphic design, and the fangs are meant to emphasize the demon thing. As for the triangle stripe with the star, it’s meant to evoke the flag of Puerto Rico, but also has a classic racing flair.

After examining the various options and getting input from my friends and family, I settled on the design on the lower right. Next step was doing the black and white lineart.

This is a really important step. A good logo should, ideally, work in plain black and white. Even if you’re limited to just one color, your logo should be readable; This can be useful for things such as printing, stickers and T-shirts, things like that. Ideally you should be able to slap your logo on anything regardless of technical limitations. Am I, or you, necessarily going to do these things? No, but it’s good to be prepared anyway. You never know! So it’s always good to have a black and white variant of your logo.

This is the design I ended up with. In keeping with the y2k/late 90s/early 2000s style, I used bold lines with heavy weight variation, rounded corners, and a double outline. Now if I were really trying to be professional about it, I would have done it in a vector program rather than Medibang Paint, but I fucking hate vector programs and the only person who needs the files here is me, so I can afford to be sloppy. There’s programs out there that’ll let you vectorize black and white images anyway, so eh.

Next, it was time to add color to the emblem. Again, I had a bunch of different options, so I made several variations and asked for input from my friends and family. (I also put the BW version in the corner for reference.)

I already had some standard colors I use in my model and my graphics, so it was really just a matter of deciding how to arrange them. By the way, you can really see in the shading just how much inspiration I took from 2000s Sonic the Hedgehog art! Don’t be afraid to take inspiration from things that mean a lot to you, or... Well, inspire you, lol.

Once again, I ended up choosing the last variation as my winning design. With the emblem done, the next step was choosing a font. Zenith’s post already has some great notes on choosing fonts, so I won’t go into too much detail there, but once again I chose several options and asked for input. Getting feedback from others is a really important part of the graphic design process. It helps you to learn what works and what doesn’t, especially when other people may have different backgrounds than you (Is one of your friends colorblind? Does your art effectively convey its message to someone who doesn’t have the same knowledge of design history? Etc).

I actually chose 15 different font options, but for the sake of brevity I’ll just show four of them.

In general it’s good practice to do variants in regular caps, no caps, and all caps, but I didn’t do that because uh... I don’t remember why. Anyway, I largely looked for y2k or racing fonts. Admittedly Excelorate is super cute, but I ended up going with Hemi Head, because it’s nice and readable. I believe it’s a popular font in the Eurobeat world as well? I know Odyssey uses it in her graphics sometimes, at least. In any case, it looks nice, it’s not too generic, and it’s really easy to read.

After choosing both an emblem and a typeface, it was time to combine them both into a logo. Again, I started with black and white, both because it’s useful to have and it’s also just easiest to add color later on.

I spent quite a lot of time fiddling with spacing and such to get it to look neat and tidy. I added a line at the bottom to add balance to an empty space, as well as a sense of motion. To tie it all together, I encapsulated it all in that big chunky outline we’ve seen so much of.

Finally, color. Since I already had a colored version of the emblem, it was pretty easy to build the rest of the logo’s colors from there. I incorporated the purple and pink gradient I’ve used for header text in a lot of my existing graphics, and again I added a fun outline, and... That was it! The logo was finally finished!

Now, I’m not claiming it’s the most perfect logo in the world. I’m sure there’s things to criticize about it, and plenty of people who just won’t find it appealing. But I think it looks alright, and above all else, I hope this breakdown of how I went from square one to a finished logo is helpful to those of you who may be looking to design your own. I encourage you to do other research as well, and again, to check out Zenith’s excellent post on VTuber logos. (It’s worth noting as well that VTuber logos often have a particular look to them that I personally chose not to go for, but Zenith’s tutorial does a good job of explaining how to achieve that look.)

As a bonus, here’s this thing I made while messing around and trying out different techniques that ended up looking hilariously like the iCarly logo, lmao.

On1 Effects 10 is a great addition to your Photo Workbench. The sticker price of Effects 10 is $59.95, which is not bad for all that Effects can do. The Pro’s certainly outweigh the Cons with On1 Effects 10. It was very slow even with 32 Gigs of Ram and a 2 Gig Video Card supporting it. At one point I had built up 5 Filters and started masking. Masking can be very slow and in-turn inaccurate.It makes the colors pop more and makes it a bit easier to see the varying degrees of tonal contrast in your images as you edit. It seems that 90%of the time I like the look of my images when edited on a darker interface. I did a study a while back on the UI of Photoshop and how it affected your editing decisions. I prefer the darker interface over the lighter interface in PE9.In the past I noticed a bit of lag between adjustments. The sliders seemed to work as fast on the image as I was moving. The overall editing experience seems a bit faster and a bit more responsive.It seems to be much easier to navigate and build custom Presets. I found the addition of Filters to be more streamlined and user friendly. It is hard to always be Perfect anyway 🙂 I like that, it is humbling to know that nothing is ever Perfect and On1 realized that and titled the new Plugin simply, Effects 10. This makes it much more valuable in the editing process as all of the other fine filters can be used in unison with easier accessibility. BW Effects has been added to On1 Effects 10 as a Filter. Black and White Effects is no longer a separate Plugin.It may sound like a silly Pro, but I found myself sometimes forgetting where PE 9 was in the past when it was stuck in the Automate section. Increased Workflow Efficiency in Photoshop as Effects 10 can now be found in the Filter section rather than Automate.Much of what was good in Perfect Effects 9 remains the same in On1 Effects 10, but here are some more of my thoughts as I worked through Effects 10 over the last few days: Black and White Effects has been turned into a Filter in Effects 10.Moved from the File > Automate section of Photoshop to the Filters section.Faster image processing (there is a noticeable difference).Noteworthy new features from Perfect Effects 9 to 10: It may not seem like much has changed, but there have been some significant improvements that I will point out along the way. The new On1 Effects 10 was released last week and I have had the luxury of taking a look at all of its new features. It was almost a year ago that I took a good solid look at On1’s Perfect Effects 9.

Sarah Rafael García is an award-winning author and multimedia artist, community educator, curator, and performance ethnographer born in Brownsville, Tejas and raised in Santa Ana, California. She’s author of Las Niñas and SanTana’s Fairy Tales and coeditor of the anthologies Pariahs and Speculative Fiction for Dreamers. García has over 13 years of experience as an Arts Leader and is founder of Barrio Writers, LibroMobile, and Crear Studio — all art programs initiated as a response to build cultural relevance and equity for BIPOC folks in Orange County.

Sarah Rafael García Captures Santa Ana’s History and Gentrification Through Fairy Tales

García has returned periodically to Santa Ana, often witnessing attempts by developers to gentrify the city. In 2016, she went back again, this time as artist-in-residence at Cal State Fullerton’s Grand Central Art Center in the Artists Village — where she became a modern-day Brother Grimm, transforming the community’s stories into fairy tale format. A multimedia installation based on her Santa Ana fairy tales was on view at Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana in May 2017.

Writing has been a fixture in her life, ever since her father died unexpectedly of an aneurysm in 1988 when she was just 14. At the time she, her Mexican immigrant parents and her sisters, Suzanne and Nydia, were living in Santa Ana. García describes the city as, “the largest border town without a border, with its 80 percent Mexican-American population.” Here, the writer became steeped in the joys and race-inflicted sorrows that come with living in such a community. Issues like gentrification weren’t just headlines, but were reality living outside her window. 

After her father’s death, her mother Sara received a life insurance settlement and moved the family to the mostly white community of Rancho Santa Margarita. They relocated there so that García and her sisters could attend better schools, her mother asserted. Yet this move became a culture shock for the girl of color who was surrounded by perfect blonde classmates.

Last year, she began transforming her childhood memories and desires into fairy tales. Reaching this epiphany followed decades of study, moving many times, extensive travel and a variety of jobs.

García’s nomadic life began when she moved out of her home right after high school to live on her own and attend Irvine Valley College. At IVC, she studied creative writing, sociology and Spanish, while paying her own tuition. “I didn’t even have a computer and there were semesters when I took classes without purchasing the required books. I wonder how I survived it all,” recalls García. Through her fierce determination, she transferred to Texas State University in Austin while working full-time at a center for at-risk youth. After graduating in 1998 with a sociology degree, she worked in high-end marketing jobs in Los Angeles (one with a window overlooking the Hollywood sign). In 2004, a neighbor began stalking her. Unable to resolve this problem, she fled L.A. for a job teaching English in Beijing, China. She lived and worked there for 18 months.

During her stay there, she began composing stories of her family life in Santa Ana. By 2006, she had completed 20 stories. she compiled them into “Las Niñas.” She then left China, and researched an appropriate publisher for her book.

She returned to Santa Ana in 2008, discovering to her dismay that the place was drastically changed. She worked at tutoring jobs, promoting her book, and giving back to her community by starting the non-profit Barrio Writers (BW) program. BW counsels teens from underserved communities through spontaneous reading, grammar, creative writing, higher education and cultural arts. The program now has eight chapters in California and Texas.  

García moved to Austin, Texas in 2010. Two years later, she returned to Texas State for graduate studies. 

“I started writing feminist short stories incorporating some of the characteristics of fairy tales and fables in order to offer a counter narrative to female narratives, as a way to turn the male gaze back on society, making society accountable for sculpting our stereotypes.” She received her MFA in creative writing from Texas State in 2015.

García soon started writing a new collection of fairy tales, inspired by her Santa Ana childhood memories. She crafted a proposal based on these stories in a bid to become artist-in-residence at Grand Central Art Center, which caught the eye of its director. “It was wonderful to see Sarah’s stories written from the perspective of someone who spent her youth in this city,” he says. “Her innovative approach shares community histories, past and present.” Her proposal won her a one-year arts residency at the Center, where she lives what she calls a “fairy goddess” life. Without having to worry about paying the rent or utilities, she gained the peace of mind to concentrate on her stories of Santa Ana.

There are six stories in “SanTana’s Fairy Tales” (in English and Spanish). These include “The Carousel’s Lullaby,” expressing longing for a carousel. She also tells cautionary tales about what might occur in Santa Ana with the threat of deportation. In “Hector & Graciela,” she writes, “Police held heavy batons, threatening gente (people) to return where they came from, while piercing sirens foreshadowed an immigrant’s worse nightmare.”

Using words to paint pictures, García is chronicling in “SanTana’s Fairy Tales” the land that was once filled with a vibrant culture. “Where once Mexican culture was celebrated on Calle Cuatro, she explains, “today white-walled coffee shops and trendy barbers are replacing quinceañera stores and chasing away fruteros (fruit vendors).”

In the story “The Wishing Well,” García also describes her own experience as a writer: “So on this new day when La Fuente [fountain] flowed water again, she knew what was to come, it was up to her to separate the realities from the city’s past lives, she knew she had to write it all down to let la gente decide what is true.” 

 Grand Central Art Center’s director remarks, “Sarah brings an amazing energy and passion to her work. Her sense of community, deep connections and especially her writing project open greater dialogue.”

As a Latina artist herself who has long admired Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, García visited Santa Ana’s Bowers Museum in April 2017 to view its “Frida Kahlo: Her Photos” exhibition. 

“I realize as women we forget to celebrate our life journeys simply because we are still navigating through them,” she remarked, “and sometimes we forget to look back. How many times have we thought, I wonder if Frida ever knew that this would be her life now?”

My first Sam Cap drawing vs the Last!

on the left- Done A few weeks after watching Endgame, (So april/may of 2019) I have a few (less pretty) pages of just sketches of his body and shapes cuz I wanted to get sam’s face/body right but eventually gave out. It was more of a study than an actual drawing.

On the right- Done on April 23, 2021. Just one sketch that was loosely cleaned and then lineart on top. Flat colors + Highlight. It was not my first time drawing Sam Wilson, as I have been sketching him quite a lot lately, but is the first time I actually drew Captain America.

There is a reason why I am posting this, and If you are an Artist you may want to hear it.

When I drew the first one I felt crushed. I tried so hard to get him right and at the end, I was simply not happy with the result. My Plan was go draw him and post it on my instagram (even when I had just 50 followers) to show some positivity to the character because I was tired of all the #NotMyCap dirrected at Sam Wilson. I REALLY wanted to make that drawing... But at the end I decided I didn’t have the skill to do it.

As a kid I never read comics, I didn’t know what that was, but I loved the superhores, my favorite movie? “Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow” James Rogers? my favorite Character. This love Made me love the MCU Cap and Black Widow, because James is their son, and therefore I liked Romanogers. And I, as a kid that loved drawing I ALWAYS tried to draw them.

I never could. I stared the drawing, I did my best, and then gave up, never finished them to the degree I wanted at first. I was never able to get the shape of the shield right, I didnt understand how to draw Cap’s suit, or how to make BW clothes look like clothes a not like she wasn’t naked. If I drew them It was mostly in civies (And don’t let me get started on The Scarlet witch in AOU when I REALLY joined the MCU fandom....).

The point in all this is, that I was never able to draw Captain America. Not when I needed to, not when I wanted to. It felt horrible, because I though I wasn’t good enough, but if I was sure of something as a kid, is that I was an artist and that I would grow up to be an artist, but in those moments when I just COULDNT draw Captain America... I doubted that was true.

But even then I didn’t stop drawing. I stopped drawing super heores for a long time, thats for sure, I didn’t want to bring myself down, but I continued drawing. I kept studying, looking and sharpening my skills and slowly, I got to the point when I was satisfied with my results. Don’t get me wrong, to this day there are some drawins I make that I can just label as “abominations” (as many, if not all artist do), but I learned how to look at stuff, and how to study it so that I could implement what I saw in my drawings.

And If any artist is reading this, please know:

That Drawing on the left? All the “ugly” sketches I mentioned? Well those are part of the sketchbook I used to carry arround with me when I was a junior. The SAME sketchbook I showed as a portfolio to get into the art school I am in right now. During the critique my eyes were watering because I was SURE I was not going to get in. And the profesors, during the critique stopped in the same page were the “Sam Cap” drawing was, and told me I was accepted.

It took a college art profess telling me my art was good for me to believe it. And now I can look at the drawing I made in 2019 and see, that yeah, is a good drawin, is not finished, but is showing that I studied, is showing that I have skills and that I can improve them.

And the one on the right? As I drew it I though of everything I have mentioned in this post so far. God knows I don’t think the drawing is perfect , I have a list of things I want to change the next time I draw Captain America, but is the first time I draw Captain America that I am satisfied AND Happy with the result. More than any other drawing I’ve ever made this drawing is the proof that I can grow and learn in art. Is my proof that years of perseverance and studying are worth it.

And for Everyone that wants to do art:

NO ONE starts with the one of the right. I didn’t, not even with the one on the left, I wish I had pictures to prove it. But is just a matter of practice, study and lots of time and effort. You Will get there if you trully want it, just don’t give up.

What makes you feel the most guilty? I feel guilty about a lot of things. Especially these days.

Do you bother with skincare products? No. :X

What’s currently on your desk? I don’t have a desk. Well, my bed is basically my desk since I have my laptop, chargers, and Bible study stuff (books, notebook, a pencil case with my pens, highlighters, white-out). 

Do you prefer… popsicles or ice cream? Cupcakes or cake? Cheesecake or shortcake? Ice cream, cupcakes, cheesecake.

Sarma For Mass Is A Conditioner That Aids Accumulate The Muscular Tissues.

Prohormones were developed prior to the exploration as well as advancement of SARMs and after steroids. were already being utilized in the body building neighborhood. Prohormones resemble anabolic-androgenic steroids, yet with milder effects on the body compared to steroids.

It's revealed to enhance bone density and also boost the high quality of the bone's design. The body's bone upkeep cycle is reliant upon the tasks of hormones, and also the hormones that sustain bone health and wellness have a tendency to decrease with age. SARMs may suppress this for older individuals in jeopardy for weakening of bones and bone crack.

Prohormones cause an anabolic effect by converting to testosterone in the blood stream. The disadvantage of this conversion, which takes place in the liver, has an unfavorable impact on the liver in time, which can increase the danger for liver diseases. Our SARMs items consist of insightful summaries about the different kinds of discerning androgen receptor modulators that are currently readily available. You can use these scientific research based summaries to discover the different SARMs to buy. Discerning androgen receptor modulators are anabolic compounds that bind to androgen receptors.

A feasible factor for the lack of more powerful effects on muscle mass fiber dimension in today study might be the family member short-term administration of OS and LG. Similar to the BW, the weight of the GM was higher in all OVX rats than in Non-OVX in both experiments. Just the OVX+LG 4 therapy group showed a greater GM's weight than in the OVX and also OVX+LG 0.4 groups, which remains in line with the monitoring of enhanced intramuscular fat in the OVX+LG 4 team. OS has actually been shown to enhance lean body mass as well as decrease overall fat mass. However, as a higher intramuscular fat content after treatment with LG has not been reported to the best of our understanding until now, this impact of a SARM application needs to be thought about as a possible adverse effects. Since the evaluation of intramuscular fat content is very complicated and was not the major emphasis of the research study, just the groups Non-OVX, OVX as well as OVX+LG 4 were picked.

It's this targeting of certain androgen receptors that avoids the harmful poisonous side effects, making them a risk-free, efficient as well as legal choice. The drugs, known as Sarms, are banned by the World Anti-Doping Company but are extensively available online, including via Google, Facebook, Amazon and eBay. They are implied to resemble the impacts of anabolic steroids in building muscle mass without the major side-effects. SARMs are an option to anabolic-androgenic steroids, checking out of which has possibly crossed the mind of many muscle building specialists. Among their numerous benefits is the virtually outright lack of side effects, which include mood damage, sex drive decline, or, as in situation of androgen prep work-- conversion to estrogens, which disrupt the male body photo. " I sent the supplements off and really did not listen to anything for a long while, and then USADA rang me a fortnight ago and also stated that the fresh, closed items I had sent had actually evaluated positive for ostarine. USADA claimed that they would contrast the ostarine ratio in the items to the ostarine ratio from my examinations.

The Power Of Peptides In Your 20s.

Particularly application to body building, there have actually been many logs of customers on various forums using Ostarine as a help to enhance lean body mass as well as strength levels. To date Ostarine has been assessed in eight professional tests including around 600 topics including three efficiency studies. A 4 month Stage IIb professional test enlisted 159 clients with the research study meeting its main goal of an absolute boost in overall lean body mass compared to placebo and the additional objective of muscle mass function. Careful androgen receptor modulators bind to the androgen receptor and also show osteo and also myo anabolic activity. There is a factor for making use of much shorter cycles, and this is to allow your body to acclimatise to the steroids, your body does not like change so might rebel against making use of steroids, what are the benefits of sarms. Until now we can state that it is the very first generation of Sarms and the offered results are extremely comparable to results generated by conventional steroids.

Unfortunately, the human body attempts to be creative and also when testosterone is on the surge, it has a tendency to increase estrogen also. Sometimes even at a quicker rate, due to this throughout PCT it is important to block estrogen from aromatizing to make sure that adverse effects such as Gyno and even muscular tissue loss don't occur. RAD-140 is most generally made use of at 5-20mg each day, with 10mg daily being the most common for 6-12 weeks. During this time people have actually reported huge increases in strength along with 10-15lbs of muscular tissue from the initial cycle. The normal dose for efficiency enhancement is 2-10mg daily for 4-8 weeks. The average results from this are 7-10lbs of LBM, excellent increases in toughness and little to no fat loss.

The primary causes for bone and joint conditions are sarcopenia and also osteoporosis. Both, sarcopenia and osteoporosis are under continuous research as well as meanings remain in modification. In ladies, hormonal changes such as the decline in estrogen in the postmenopausal metabolic process might sustain the development of both sarcopenia and also weakening of bones.

The first week changeover was immense, without any uncertainty a recurring effect of the creatine as well as beta alanine, and also the option I made to front lots the research for ostarine for 2 days only. Generally, a drug with a 24 hour half would take a week to get to stable state I assume so an option I employ is 2 days of two caps at the beginning rather than the normal one a day really obtains that study approximately level quickly. I acquired around 2 kg overall in 8 weeks while noticeably loosing fat. Overall I assume I navigated 4-5 Kilos of lean muscular tissues and shed 3 kilos of fat without any diet regimen restriction. my diete was 2200 calorie each day for obtain shreds as well as i take strenght as well as keep the muscle i assume its not fake ostarine. As Ostarine has anabolic results, the dieter can cut calories without having to worry about muscle or strength loss.

Discover moreSARMs UK supplements are an exciting course of supplements which operate as options to prohormones for those trying to find something more powerful than a natural testosterone booster. These "Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators" work by intensifying androgen degrees in the body which leads to huge rises in efficiency and also recovery. Here's where to get SARMS muscle building supplements in our online shop. Over the past 5 years, online searches for SARMs (or "discerning androgen receptor modulators", including andarine and ostarine) have actually been rising gradually. Utilized this to maintain strength on cut, however really enabled me to boost weight on all workouts at maintenance calories, this functions like a mild PH, it is a terrific alternative anabolic.

Across the board, SARMs are considered safer than steroids consequently. Additionally, they're considered relatively risk-free just because scientists haven't discover red flags that raise alarm system regarding these compounds for human consumption. Men and women young and old have participated in various professional studies, taking different SARMs at various dosages for study purposes recorded in clinical journals. The muscle growth promoted by SARMs is what makes them interesting bodybuilders, professional athletes, as well as guys or females wishing to reduce weight. Nevertheless, research study recommends SARMs can additionally assist protect against osteoporosis and also help people who have it.

Unlike prohormones and also steroids, which bodybuilders have generally utilized, SARMs don't aromatize. The elevated estrogen that follows the increase in testosterone from steroids is what triggers their harmful side effects. SARMS increase testosterone differently that does not boost estrogen and lead to estrogen-related problems.

Albeit, just the highest dosage of LG was examined, it seems to be crucial searching for and needs to be explored in the future studies. Alternatively, testosterone supplementation has actually been shown to increase muscle mass toughness in men and also to avoid muscle mass degeneration in orchidectomized male mice (14-- 17). Although valuable effects on sex-related function, individual distress, and also blood lipids were observed in postmenopausal women, management of testosterone in females is questionable considering that lasting studies are doing not have to prove safety and security. In guys, testosterone supplements is associated with a boosted threat of breathing, cardiac, and also dermatologic negative effects. Bone and joint disorders account for about one-third of illness as well as health problem of the senior in industrial nations and also continue to reveal an upward pattern. Subsequently, the threat of falls has increased, and also cracks are ending up being an extra common injury.

It appears that there is evidence that ostarine is progressively showing up in supplements. There are currently 60 products on USADA's High Danger Checklist that contain ostarine. Preclinical researches have actually shown the capacity of SARMs to increase levator ani muscle mass in the castrated rat as well as to increase bone mass and stamina. Effectiveness tests of a number of SARMs in human beings are in onset and have usually shown modest increments in fat-free mass.

LGD is a strong agonist for the AR in skeletal muscle as well as bone yet very weak in contrast in the prostate. An Androgen is a class of hormonal agents that work as ligands that bind to cellular androgen receptors. All anabolic steroids or prohormones construct muscle with binding to androgen receptors.

The very first generation SARMs do not undergo aromatization or 5-alpha decrease; it is unidentified whether this might present long-term threats. The efficacy and the security of SARMs as function advertising treatment is just beginning to be examined. GSK, the research drug, belongs to a new course of drugs called non-steroidal, selective androgen receptor modulators, which can imitate a few of the valuable impacts of testosterone whilst staying clear of several of the undesirable side effects. The term 'SARMs' mean Careful Androgen Receptor Modulators. Androgen is an all-natural item of the body that allows us to construct skeletal muscle mass.

[ungoliantschilde]

Hey, so... I'm a "classically trained" artist (illustrator, properly speaking) who's been personally invested in graphic novels... my preferred media is india ink+dip pens. I'm trying to vary up my work, so i'm looking for comic artists to draw inspiration from. I'm a big fan of M.C. Escher and Gustave Dore... right now, the only comic artist I have to go on is Barry Windsor-Smith. I respect your taste in art/ists, got any suggestions for me? -thx

Oof. Ok, thanks and this is the kinda thing I set my blog up for, so I’ll give it a shot.

When you’re looking at illustration artwork, you need to understand that it’s a lot like music. Each generation builds upon the previous, using and tweaking what they like, and discarding what they don’t.

I have said repeatedly that BWS is the best comic book artist of all time, and I mean it. It’s my opinion. His only real peer in terms of quality and output is Moebius. It’s not about black lines. It’s about body language and facial expressions.

Back to what I was saying about generations building on one another. BWS became the artist that he did out of frustration. He could not find an inker or a colorist that could reliably help him achieve his visions. So he did it himself. But, Barry was influenced - heavily - by previous generations. Barry likes to draw landscapes. Look at how he draws grass. Go to my homepage and open up my header image at the top of my page. Landscapes. Wind. Rain. Look at how he draws Storm in the Life-Death books.

Landscapes. Body language. Facial Expressions. LANDSCAPES. Learn to draw trees. Grass. Wind.

Barry is a huge fan of a British Victorian Art style that focused on landscapes and pastoral settings. Ladies eating lunch outside with parasols. Lace. Grass. Wind. Landscapes.

As far as names go?

Try Franklin Booth and Virgil Finlay. Winsor McCay did a lot more color work, but his inks are incredible.

Howard Pyle did a number of ink drawings and they’re worth googling.

NC Wyeth is the platinum era illustrator most directly responsible for modern comic book artwork. Study his body language and light sources.

Al Williamson is the best inker of all time. Flat out.

Frank Frazetta’s pen and ink drawings.

Paul Pope is a modern master of brush inks.

John Buscema. Find reprints of his work on Savage Sword of Conan. He worked with some of the best artists in modern comic book history as his inkers. My first TPB as a kid was the Essential Wolverine, Vol. 1. It was the first 25 issues of Wolverine, reprinted from the original inked pages on newsprint in black and white.

You may have noticed that I have not mentioned Kirby. Jack Kirby will teach you how to tell a story better than anyone. Read his comics and notice how the pages move as you read them. But. He is NOT a classically trained artist. Copying his style is a lot like spending your whole life learning to play guitar, and then joining a Beatles cover band as your career choice. Be you.

I will say this again. The best advice I can give on the track that you’re on is to study landscapes. Learn to render light in black and white. Landscapes are good practice.

NC Wyeth’s best work was when he was restricted to one color. His endpapers for scribners were grayscale paintings with one color. And they POP. Make your work pop.

Lastly, don’t be a prude: Draw porn. I’m serious. Milo Manara is an incredible artist. Serpieri’s Druuna is beautiful. His writing is awful, but the artwork is amazing. On tumblr, check out Apollonia Saintclair - She pretty much exclusively draws pen and ink erotica. Drawing erotica teaches you nuance and flesh tones. It teaches you tact and tittilation. Restraint. Fabric. There is a fine line between sexy and slutty. Find it. I’m not kidding. You’ll be a better artist because of it.

Good luck. Work hard, and you’ll get there!

ask

Yup! I’m gonna use this ask to answer the other ones finally lol

Hehe that’s a cute idea.. that’s sort of what I imagined the “special ready” effect is, but it would definitely be cooler if instead of just glowing/moving a bit their hair cycled through a bunch of colors

Hi! Oh that’s pretty broad uhhhhhhhh id say.. well. it’s N from pokemon bw but most of the characters I end up liking are just, like, silent protags lol

Honestly? at first nervous and uncomfortable because I very much forgot how to draw humans. But i’m feeling tons better about it now and having a lot of fun with it^_^

Awh thank you ! ❤ you’re also cool

Good at the moment! Got a 4 day weekend every week now so I should (maybe?) be able to be more active here. Also FINALLY have a doctor’s apptmt today so i can see someone about my mental health shit and possibly, perhaps, potentially actually get help lol

You’re sweet, thank you❤ I’d like to redo my spectrum piece at some point just because i think i’ve evolved a little stylistically since I finished it, but I still like it despite that. And ty again! They’re very relaxing for me now lol, I’m glad we (against all odds) got a zelda game with one

I think I first saw a streamer playing it when I dropped by their twitch page on a whim, and I saw all the clothing options and immediately decided “i must buy a switch just to play this game”. The fashion aspect is still one of my favorite things about it lol. 

I think my Favorite part has to be the singleplayer modes, in partic agents though (predictably), bc they’re exactly the sort of “mostly blank slate” characters+worlds I get attached to.. I’ve always rly enjoyed sort of filling in the gaps left behind in media, even if that means what I end up loving at the end is 90% headcanon stuff. I think that’s the best way 2 interact with media anyway. making it more personal. 

It’s always very cool seeing everyone’s different takes on the agents/splat world, and it’s Very cool how I can post a pic of, like, agent 3 and have a bunch of different people each see a totally different character, you know? But yeah i like the shoes in splatoon

Honestly kinda rough but I’m trying! I’ve started college now and the people there are nice enough, plus it’s got incredibly cushy hours and is pretty light on actual “learning”, but it’s good, I needed some kind of break from academia before I straight up died

I’m happy you enjoy it anon!!!!!! I will :-)! I’ve got a lot planned for zelda art in the near future, i just have to finish some commissions and stuff before I can properly work on it

I’ve never “studied” officially, but i’ve been drawing for like, 5-6ish years now? I didn’t pick it up until I was about 10 and didn’t rly commit until I was maybe 12. The course i took at college is meant to be art-focused, however, the stuff they’re teaching is like.. not a brag! but stuff I do already know. Like, a tutor tried to explain what “pixel art” is to me on my first day. I mostly took it to try and learn some Maya skills because I do want to pick up 3D art one day!

Ty! This question’s pretty similar to the last so i’ll put it here. I’ve been slacking on my actual studying a bit, most of what I do is force myself to draw anything every day. Doesnt matter if its a wonky doodle of a face on the back of a napkin or if its a full illust, its practice, it counts. Also, trying to shove myself out of my own comfort zone by doing things like environments and very detailed things (motorcycle.). It’s very rewarding just to look at something you made and think “I thought this was impossible before right now”.

hmmmmMm... I can’t think of any just off the top of my head but my friend @nickymemer (I think?) put the idea of Zelda, whenever shes sick of link and her dads’ collective shit, just running off to gerudo town to hang out with urbosa and the rest of the gerudo court, in my head and i love that a lot

Thank you thank you! As of rn it’s botw but that’s probably because it’s the only one i’ve played by myself. I watched a 30 hour longplay of twilight princess and really loved that though. I did watch an lp of both majora and ocarina but I get the feeling i’m missing a big part of the experience of both bc i’m not playing them. (That or they’re overhyped.) If i get a bit more cash at some point I’ll probably get both on my 3ds.

Alright that’s all I think! Thank you everyone ❤

POC Diversity and Inclusion in the Game Developement Industry

Everyone is doing their part to spread knowledge, support, and resources to people of color and our allies in any way they can in light of the tragic murder of George Floyd and the infuriating lack of action taken from the Minneapolis Police department and Minnesota elected officials to bring the police officers responsible for his murder to justice. 

I would like to contribute by holding a match to those already holding spotlights toward the terribly slim margin of diversity and inclusivity within the games industry. The needle has been slowly pushing towards more D&I within the industry, but a summary of the IGDA Developers Satisfaction Survey done in 2017 show that of the 963 valid responses, only 29% of Developers identified within a Black, Asian, and Minor Ethnicities (BAME) demographic, and of that, only 1% identified as Black/African American. The game industry has been notorious for its exclusivity towards white cis males. Below is a list of organizations, game companies, game developers, games, and videos that are helping to reshape the future of the gaming industry narrative to be more diverse and inclusive. My hope is that the more we can educate ourselves on these issues, the quicker we can get that needle to move. 

I will continue to add more to this list as I discover it. And please, for those of you who are more educated than me in this department, don’t hesitate to suggest additional points to include or corrections to make. And please share this with anyone and everyone. This is a learning experience for me too, so I appreciate additional information anyone can provide.  🙏🏽✌🏽

for arospec headcanons: bianca from pokemon bw!

ok, so, i barely got into that particular game cause i got Bored (literally any of the others I know better than b&w/2), but I’ll do my best:

What arospec identities do they have? (Can be as specific or vague as desired)

color scheme reminds me of the aroflux flag so we’ll go aroflux

How proud of being arospec are they?

at first struggles to be proud, but later comes to accept and later feel proud of that identity

Do they prioritize their arospec identity over any others?

hmmm I’m gonna go with no just because i don’t know enough

Are they out? If so, how did they come out, and to whom?

out to the prof! honestly of what i remember probs studied all the terminology and talked w/ the others

How do they feel about romance? Romance-favorable? Romance-neutral? Romance-repulsed? Or does it fluctuate?

hmmmm I’m gonna go with fluxing

Have they ever experienced arophobia? If so, how?

hdjgk my dude, with the emphasis on care for ur pokemon etc i’m willing to bet ppl give long lectures about loving everyone and specifically ur ~special~ someone so probably

How do they show their arospec pride?

clothing

Do they actively try to combat amatonormativity in their daily lives or elsewhere? If so, how?

probs gives info to others

Was it easy for them to label themselves arospec, or was there a long period of questioning? How many labels did they have to try before landing on the one they use now?

my dude, have you ever met an arospec person who did not do a Lot of Labels and Questioning? (if u didn’t you are valid i just haven’t seen it before)

Would they be interested in a QPR? Why or why not?

I don’t remember enough of their interactions to say :(

Final thoughts?

sorry :(((

3, 6, 7, 24. ((:D))

3. Does your muse have any special pokémon? [Shiny, different colored, different typed [Delta Species], breed variants, etc]

// for now, i haven’t decided if give N any shiny pokémon friends, though i probably will (though they won’t be part of his teams if that makes sense). i really want him to do a little thing for each verse where he gets one egg from every region and at least one or two of the pokémon he gets from them ends up being a shiny, but we’ll see about that-

6. Do they have a favorite pokéball type?

// at first no, and this is partly because he once thought of pokéballs as ‘’cages’’ to keep pokémon in if that makes sense- ofc he had to use them in order to engage in pokémon battles because he wanted to ‘speak in the protagonist’s language’ in order to get his own message across, and he quickly released the pokémon used in the battle after it. 

during his journey though he understood pokéballs were more like cozy places to keep the pokémon in so that they were safe as well as providing shelter when they were tired or hurt while he’d find a pokémon center. as a result, and if i had to pick any ball, he’d probably really like the luxury ball, as it’s described as a very comfortable pokéball that makes caught pokémon more friendly. although it’s still hard for him to shake off the thought of discomfort that comes from keeping his friends in those devices, even his own team reassures him that they feel safe and protected there lol

7. What type does your muse specialize in, if any?

// actually... N specializes in any type, as demonstrated by the games. because it’s not a matter of type, rather it’s a matter of him reading through a pokémon’s emotions perfectly. when he knows the pokémon’s type he has an easier idea of their personality and disposition, and thus, of their stance in battle, of their weaknesses and strengths, etc. while he’s not 100% a fan of using this info he gets from his friends for battling, he’s still p good at it because of his vast knowledge of the type chart. so he doesn’t have a specific type he excels at.

24. How literal do you think the pokédex is?

// again, as demonstrated by the games:

"Professor Juniper, what are you thinking? You appear to have no qualms about the relationship between Pokémon and people. You put Pokémon into categories using arbitrary rules and think you can understand them like that... The very idea of a Pokédex revolts me. (...)"

during BW N considered the pokédex a very incomplete thing that didn’t take the feelings of pokémon and their reaction to being studied into consideration... and to some degree, even in the post BW2 arc, he still thinks it’s something quite arbitrary and incomplete. 

i mean, they don’t provide a lot of info about the pokémon and often says things that sound completely made up; as someone who’s very close to pokémon and interacts with them as if they were his peers on a daily basis, he considers it really insulting and not a tool that truly educates people into treating pokémon with more respect. he thinks that, in order to understand the pokémon, you must kindly interact and form a bond with it instead of just listing out one or two of their vast list of their seeable behaviours. let’s just say he has really strong opinions about these things lol

#ooc #ask #misanthropecopy #headcanons/ #( i love the last one cause he's still not bought on the pokédex thing lolol )

I’ve always been creative and when I discovered analogue photography I fall in love with! I develop BW and Color films since years and now I've decided to print my photos by myself! So I'm setting up my first darkroom in the bathroom and I'm studying rules and phases to realize my own prints <3
