Modern AU where Jinshi and Maomao are both in university but Jinshi (stage name) is also an actor/model and he thinks he can impress Maomao by showing her the shows he was in.

Of course Maomao is unimpressed, and of course she just pulls out these science jokes out of no where.

Im so so so so sorry for the dm but I gotta do, how did you do the lighting for these two??

(dm wouldnt send on twitter so I'll send it here!)

Be not afraid, for I will reveal my secrets in rendering step by step.

1. After I'm finished with lineart, I added the base color. It's faint, but putting in gradient will make it pop.

2. In order for the whole thing to look harmonious with each other, on top of the base color I added a multiply and overlay layer. The color I use for multiply is usually desaturated, kinda pastel-y. The overlay one is more saturated (see alternative colors below).

3. The result should be kind of dark. Which is what I'm after, because what you're seeing is already shadowed. So instead of adding the shadow to the base color, I'm adding the light.

On top of the multiply layer, I added an overlay layer. I keep in mind where the light source is coming from (see the blue arrows). The color of the overlay can be whatever -- it depends on the vibe you're trying to make (e.g if they're in waterfall, I'd use light cyan).

Also, see that normal layer clipped onto my overlay? It's how I added my "fringe" (aka subsurface scattering). I often use pink. Just line it on the edges of the light.

4. Now I added a multiply layer again, just to give the piece more depth and details (like the skin)

5. Now I'm adding what's called reflective light (google to see examples irl). Basically, I covered the darkest parts of the drawing with something lighter. For this one I just added pastel purple in the normal layer, but there are other layer types to lighten it up!

6. Now, I colored the lineart through clipping. I usually just matched the surrounding colors by adding a darker one (e.g dark red for skin).

Optional: I like to make 2 copies of the lineart, make one red and another cyan, and respectively slide it to left and to right. Sometimes it doesn't even look good tho....

7. Highlights time! To do this I disable the background so it's transparent, click right and choose 'merge visible to new layer'. Which flattens the visible image onto a new layer. Now I can add in these white lights by clipping on top of it!

(It's a lil tricky to do this right with a brush, so I used the lasso fill tool.)

To top it off, I add some sparkes. My simp art is done <33

Edit: I forgot!! By the end of it all you can add a texture by setting said texture into overlay with low opacity (on top of the finished art). In CSP you can add a perlin noise, one of these:

You can use other kinds of textures for ur artwork, like watercolor etc.

#by the way the other art you linked also use similar steps. just simpler. #(multiply over base color. overlay for the light and fringe. low opacity for scattered light. done.) #i hope this helps you and other artists too!!! #happy rendering!!! #art tutorial #lico arting

something something artist!robin who loses touch with everyone in hawkins besides steve and goes on ten years later to make a whole art exhibit inspired by her trauma from the upside down and the bunker.

she’s praised across the board, especially for her depiction of a curly brunette with eyes you get lost in. always putting that character to the front, highlighting her like a hero. like a god.

robin is shyly drinking champagne on the balcony of the museum when a woman with her hair in a big claw clip and sunglasses approaches her. robin didn’t want to talk to her but her manager told her that she should try to be friendly to everyone, should the person want to purchase some art.

“are you the artist?” the woman asks.

“i am, yeah," robin gives a weak smile.

“big night for you.”

robin nods. “this is all…great but it’s so overwhelming too.”

“sure, i get it,” the woman replies.

robin is about to quip that no, she really doesn’t get it when the woman pulls off her sunglasses and robin sees those blue eyes for the first time in ten years. the ones that had her 18-year-old heart racing. she committed to putting them on any canvas she could get her hands on just to have them live somewhere else that wasn't behind her eyelids. they're here, they're real, and they're looking at her.

but nancy’s eyes were swimming with tears. robin opens her mouth to apologize but nancy places one finger on her lips.

“no one has ever seen me like that,” nancy whispers with astonishment. “i’m never the hero. i’m the annoying little reporter who doesn't let anything rest."

robin shakes her head furiously. nancy’s hand drops but they’re too close not to touch each other. robin hesitantly opens her arms and nancy plunges herself in them. robin gently takes nancy’s hair out of the clip and lets it clatter to the floor. she pets those soft curls as nancy tucks herself further into robin’s neck.

“not to me. not to me, you’re not,” robin whispers.

Unpacking is very cute and I admire the type of narrative it's able to pull off just through the gameplay of moving into spaces. the intimacy of everyday objects, still life, environmental storytelling, etc etc etc

But i have Got to talk about 2010. Unpacking is a game where all you do is take stuff out of boxes and find spaces for it, and for the most part it gives you quite a lot of freedom about where you can put stuff. There are some rules - most things cant go on the floor, stuff generally has to be in the right room, the soap has to be near the sink, etc etc, but apart from that there's no wrong place to put things.

Moving into this fucking guy's house in 2010 felt like putting everything in the wrong place. It felt like I wasn't supposed to be there, a square peg into a round hole. His entire house is pristine when I get there, everything organised perfectly, evenly spaced, colour-matched, sterile. Throughout the level I'm shoving everything around on his bookcase to fit my hoard of knickknacks, putting my red plastic colander in the cupboard above his cool green matching set of plates and bowls, my bright purple toothbrush cup, hairbrush, and straightening iron clutter his pristine bathroom counter. My family of stuffed chickens is made to look silly next to his fancy mixology set and miniature sand garden.

I end up putting my laptop and drawing tablet out on the kitchen island because there isn't a desk anywhere I can use. My markers and hoard of sketchbooks are crammed into my bedside table. I'm not allowed to move his posters in the living room, so my university certificate goes under the bed.

I won't pretend that I, playing Unpacking in 2023, didn't know how the game ended. I knew already that the protagonist would move on from this guy, but even if I didn't, I would have been able to tell. It was not fun moving into his house, it was not easy or charming to meld our lives together, I did not feel welcome there. Moving in with him felt like a transgression, an imposition. Moving in with him felt like a wrong decision in a game where I couldn't really make wrong decisions.

An incredible magic trick of game design, in my opinion.

#also something about how pristine this guys house was #but like. the CDs in his CD rack were all in there at random #and his fucking underwear was scattered randomly throughout 2 drawers #just gave me rancid vibes. this man cares so much about the Facade. the Presentation. #and as a result his house has the character and charm of a fluorescent tube light #anyway. good game #unpacking #unpacking game

"Things in the Dark"

Ominous

indeed!

#there sure are things in that dark! they are there whether we see them or not! #oh man turn your brightness The Fuck Up #twas not this dark on my tablet! #but. well. it is the ~lights out~ au. so. darkness for us all #we gotta show some solidarity for our main man wally #scribble salad #welcome home au #wh lights out au #oh shit whats the uhhhhh warning tag for like? potentially disturbing imagery??? does this even count??? lemme know #i need to post about this au more... i have a growing fondness for it #its still kind of scattered in my head #but that just might be the pervasive & persistent brain fog #one day ill be able to think clearly again. one day.

Sleepy Akira clings so hard he drags Goro into bed with him too, forced to cuddle in jeans - how tragic

#persona 5 #persona 5 royal #shuake #akeshu #akechi x ren #persona 5 protagonist #akechi goro #goro akechi #amamiya ren #akira kurusu #This one was fun to draw! The background was painted and rendered solely on one layer #So one layer of line art and one layer for colour on it that was it #It really made it fun to render and think about #I love how the lighting turned out as a result I kinda want to colour this way more often #It's definitely great for doing backgrounds #also flowers on the window sill are forget me nots and red asters for anyone wondering #referencing those keychains of course #also personal headcanon that Mona 100% will play with cat toys and deny it to anyone who sees or asks so Akira buys him tons of them and #pretends not to notice them scattered across the floor #definitely unplayed with guys

nine's tour tmi in minneapolis

[id: five gifs of nine of kpop group onlyoneof on stage during their concert in minneapolis telling an anecdote and then miming as the translator translates. the captions read "wookjin: [explaining the difference between hotel lights in the US vs Korea] [miming while the translator is translating] translator: So, my memory is back when we arrived at the first hotel, it was set up a little differently to how they are in Korea. So when you walk into the hotel, the lights were scattered with the lamps through different areas of the hotel room. But in Korea, it's right when you walk in. So, Kyubin hyung and I were in the middle of the night trying to find the lights and turn them all on with each other." the colored caption reads: nine's tour tmi in minneapolis / end id]
