my beloved artist. my darling writer. if you are not making things for your own fun and enrichment, then why did you start making it in the first place?

I love signal wizard so much! Would you be willing to show how you did the noise effect? It looks sooooo good and I have no idea where you even started lmao

Sure! It was a pretty messy and experimental process, so there isn't an easy step by step recreation method, but I can go over the tools that I used.

It was largely thanks to the Dissolve blending mode which turns opacity gradients into pixelated ones:

I would first create a solid shape that I liked, then airbrush the edges to be less distinct on a Dissolve layer, and then use a textured brush to carve the airbrushed edges out a bit to make the shape more gritty and rough. Then I put a desaturated noise filter with its brightness levels adjusted to boost the contrast on top of it all. Here's a simplified step through with just one extra tone added at the end to give the shape some volume:

I layered a lot of these in different tones on top of each other with different opacities and blending modes and messed around with differently textured brushes until I was happy with the look. Then I threw in some tidbits of magenta and cyan for a little color and voila! The Noise.

I replied to your message in my head several days ago did you not get it

everyone saying "art doesn't need to be perfect" hasn't taken into account the art monster, the monster that comes and kills you if art doesn't look exactly like it did in your head

Everyone liked the color charts I test printed for Basilisk so much, I felt compelled made a nice version! Great for anyone that has an interest in Risograph printing, historical pigments, or weird medieval marginalia.

the problem with being creative is that you start to feel very guilty when you haven’t created anything in a while

[vociferal]

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.

"I cant draw" then do it bad who gives a fuck.....
