Yo. A specific artist or -? Idc if you have money. If we have a hangout date when it's done, then I see a friend again and that's worth it to me.

I have an artist I just commissioned but if you're offering still??? And yes bc it's been forever since I've seen you.

Inktober day two: spider. I wanted more white ink, but it's too old to hold on to the nib. Le sigh.

#inktober #inktober 2023 #kifuart #the real Kifu #artists on Tumblr #I had to completely freehand the inks on this one because the page wash wouldn't dry #good to know #but I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the white ink not working! #I absolutely need white ink for today's prompt! #kinda did for this prompt to but I did what I could

how a friend of mine taught me to create names for characters

Start with a word that's meaningful to the character. For this example, we'll use the word "smoke".

Open up Google translate and pick a language - Latin is a good, basic starting point, but anything with connections or an ease of what I like to call English-ifying (for the sake of this method, things like pinyin - the English text version of languages with non-english characters - although this can also be done for other languages, I assume) works best.

I'll start with Latin - the word I get is fumo. Now, I don't really like the vibes of that, so I'm going to take a stab at a few other translations to see what I can find.

(I do want to add - it's best to either understand the language's phonetics or have a pronunciation available if you want to be able to pronounce the character's name.)

Icelandic - Reykja (Ray-kee-ah)

Korean - Seumoki (Soo-moke-ee)*

Hindi - Dhuaan (Doo-ahn)

Swahili - Moshi (Mah-shee)

And with that, I have four different name bases to work with, all with different vibes. For instance, Moshi would probably be a good name for a pet - the -i ending reads as diminutive in English, making it perfect for a gray-furred cat. I might use that if I ever get a pet that it would fit - it's a sweet name.

Reykja reads as a fairly feminine name, and could work as a standalone - just be aware that it might read strangely to people who speak Icelandic. Dhuaan feels more gender-neutral - actually, it feels very neutral altogether.

That being said, you don't have to stop here. You can throw the names together in much the same way that someone used to create Lenjamin, and create entirely new names. In this endeavor, it usually helps to have gathered quite a few translations to work with.

Here, I take a bit of a leap in combining the -ki in Seumoki (which is a little on the nose alone) with the fu- in fumo, creating Kifu - considering that the alternative is Fuki, which. Is a little too close to Fucky for my comfort.

Here's the important part - and this step is often vital even when not combining the words - you have to translate it backwards.

*Those who know Korean might notice that Seumoki is a translation for "smokey", not "smoke". As someone who doesn't speak Korean, I noted that translating back the word I originally got for smoke, yeongi, gave me "performance". I'm not sure what's up with that, so I adjusted the form of the word to get a better translation - for all I know, the translation of yeongi as "smoke" is a bug.

Sometimes you'll find out that the word that gets translated back is. Less than desirable. Sometimes, however, you find a pleasant surprise.

Kifu, in the "Detect Language" setting of Google Translate, reads as the Swahili word for death.

So now I have a name for a badass character, probably someone that can easily be read as a ninja, whose name has roots in smoke and death.

One last note - do look up the name outside of Google Translate to check and see if it's already in use somewhere or if it has any problematicisms attached - Kifu seems to be a software related to the game Go, as well as a French collection of home decor. I think it's a funny little anecdote to add to the name; plus, maybe it can be used for further characterization. Maybe Kifu really likes interior design. Maybe their favorite game is Go.

And with that you have a name for a character and a little bit of bonus characterization to go along with it!

Don't forget to translate backwards, and don't forget to look it up, though. Also, if you're able to consult a dictionary in the language you're pulling from - or even a person who speaks the language - that's even better!

All of the names here are free to use, btw!

#problematicisms should be a word fight me #i wanna read a superhero fic abt kifu the smoke hero #they have the vibes of a side character who's usually the distraction/bait #because they escape easily #they'd probably be weak to water/humidity #and they'd have an arc about how annoying it is to be underestimated #maybe they're not even considered an actual superhero #maybe they just go out in civilian clothes and distract the villains #drawing power from the destruction wrought by the fires started from all the fighting #disappearing into thin air #getting in the villain's eyes and making it difficult for them to see #idk i have Thoughts abt this #i feel like Dhuaan would be either very short or very tall #with very dark skin or very pale skin #ig they're not as neutral as they are like. either end of the spectrum works but nowhere in between #reykja? I Would Die For Reykja #she seems like the badass mom friend with a deep voice #i hc that Reykja is a trans woman and Dhuaan is a trans he/they #i love how these aren't even characters yet and i'm already like. 'this is a people' #anyways have fun with this #go wild y'all #it does take some time to get used to #and some practice to get good at knowing when to stop and when to keep going #but i enjoy this

Decided to finish this further with a background as an excuse to mess with my new technique on rendering my artwork.

DIGGERS DOZEN presents it’s first compilation on BBE Music selected by Japan’s DJ MURO - King Of Diggin'. This exciting new release offers 12 stunning Japanese jazz-funk and latin- jazz gems which fuse Japanese traditional musical instruments and traditional melodies. These recordings were produced during the 70's for Nippon Columbia by master composers and musicians of Japan’s jazz and latin scene, including Kiyoshi Yamaya, Tadaaki Misago & Tokyo Cuban Boys, Kifu Mitsuhashi, Toshiyuki Miyama and more. It's original vinyl releases that these tracks featured on have become scarce and super rare for the Japanese collectors market and now these magnificent tracks are available outside of Japan for the first time on this killer compilation. The focus and selections made by MURO for this release is a continuation from his Wa Groove Mix “Nippon Breaks” released in 2020. DJ MURO known as King Of Diggin’ rightfully owns this title being one of the world's deepest and most respected collectors of specialist rare records and music related relics.

Inktober day three: path. I was hoping for a little creep factor with barely distinguishable forms in the night, but ink wash proves difficult at the moment.

#inktober #inktober 2023 #artists on Tumblr #kifuart #Kifu of the Tribes #so not only is ink wash difficult #but silver plays so so hard it's ridiculous #once you silver there's no going back for real #but the silver - while thin - actually works so that's my 'white' ink now

🗣️ for the wip thing!

🗣️Talk about your favourite WIP

idk if you're into Hikaru no Go, but I hope you are because i've decided to lean into "it's funniest to have 1 WIP that you call your favourite" for the purposes of this meme, so without further ado: more facts about the Hikago Pride & Prejudice-like AU!

In honour of what my writing process looked like today: an incomplete list of things I've looked up...

oldest internet go servers

netgo forum

webcams

history of webcams

jennicam (<- an aside just because i was curious)

dial-up internet webcams

history of dial-up internet

list of titles in japanese professional go

kifu from isg / kifu from pandanet / kifu from netgo

[canon details, including Waya's username (how could I forget Zelda?!) and Morishita-sensei's actual rank (9-dan, good for him)]

how to find someone with IP address

history of doxxing

history of rofl (<- since at least 1989, when it was usually ROTF!! wild!)

i love... research... somehow still managed to write > 600 words today, which is a lot for me!

#they're historically accurate words too :> #thanks for playing! #fic writing adventures #riotbrrrd #touya is currently cross-legged in a desk chair having a minor nervous breakdown #it's what the girls want #also if you're curious about hikaru no go i really can't recommend it enough #the show and the manga are both favourites of mine #it's about a boy and a ghost and a board game but also it's about LIFE and LOSS and INADEQUACY and FINDING A PASSION
