#and my laptop AND ps will thank me for it lmao
Help Moffy replace her 10 year old computer! <3 (Commissions Open!)
I'm in the market for a new computer, what I have right now is a laptop, but I've love to have a desktop again for the option of a bigger screen to aid my poor eyesight. I've been saving pocket change and extra cash since January, and currently have about $300, but I really want a nice computer able to last at least another ten years.
My current computer is often slow, and even running Firefox alone can be a chore, much less photoshop. (And don't even get my started on PS, the amount of loading screens I see just for cropping my scans is outrageous---and it didn't used to do that) This computer worked well for a number of years and USED to be a beast, but I feel if I wait too much longer, it may just die on my unexpectedly. That's why I'd love some help saving for a new one! (It's actually already died once and been brought back to life lmao. that's a story)
I know this is technically a WANT and not a NEED, but in some ways I feel I do need it just to keep up with this blog and my art. I'm also starting a new business venture soon with my art, and have even joined some local art shows. I need easy access to photoshop for that. With all that said, I am humbly asking for some commissions/donations. I'm trying to get something that can handle multiple heavy duty programs at once, and while I don't have one picked out yet, I'd like to save at least $800 before I start seriously shopping.
I have commissions open year around, but rarely do I get any. On my ko-fi I offer up lots of services, from writing and editing with everything $8 and under. (example: I offer crappy ms paint doodles, drabbles, letters from Jonathan, edits, etc) I would really appreciate some commissions/shop downloads or if you feel so generously, a donation.
Ko-Fi: MistressOfFear
PayPal: Paypal.me.Mistressoffear
CashApp: $CranesMistressOfFear
GOAL: $300 out of $800
PS: Don't feel obligated to help, only if you can do so yourself safely. I know this all may seem selfish, but kindness knows no bounds. Y'all helped me afford a new tablet when my old one died, so I am already extremely grateful. The batman rogues fandom has been so sweet to me over the years, and for that I feel loved and in need or saying: thank you <3

please could you do a tutorial on how you enhance the colouring of a gif to be really vibrant in one colour without it changing the coloring of the rest of the gif? you do it really well and it looks great!!
hii, thank you anon!! and yes, i will grab different psds i have around my laptop and explain how i achieved that coloring. very long tutorial under the cut!
it's a bit hard for me to explain how my brain works when it comes to selecting the type of coloring/scenes i want to gif so please bear with me lmao. okay so first things first, i always try to choose scenes that are in the same section of the color wheel, this makes things easier in photoshop.
Tumblr media
i will use this gif as an example
Tumblr media
i chose this particular scene to turn it green because blues and cyans are close to the green tones in the color wheel, so that's gonna make things WAY easier in photoshop, especially if the subject is moving. another tip is to find scenes where there's a color that's really separated or isolated from the rest, that helps me so much in ps because then i can basically change its color without worrying about turning her legs the color i chose.
i don't apply all these tips at the same time because it truly depends on the case but i tried changing the color of the same gif to red with hue/saturation and it looks quite good as well since the blue is really separated from the rest:
Tumblr media
now things get a bit more complicated, because now that taylor's bodysuit has the same tones as her skin tone editing everything gets a bit harder, bc let's say i want her legs to look a bit more purple-ish since they're a bit yellow and i want to tone that down (another tip: look at the color wheel to figure out which opposite color you need to cancel out a particular one you want to get rid of) i usually go liiiittle by little with selective color and i only work in the yellows and reds (sometimes magentas), this is trial and error, drag the tiny arrows in each color to see what looks best or what looks somewhat decent lol. this is how the finished psd would look like, i only had to tweak the yellow section in selective color, and that worked out well!
Tumblr media
that's usually what i do 90% of the time. other times i try to edit the color just a bit, so i can further separate it more in case it still picks up similar tones that are around it.
_
other tip i have is that most of the times i choose scenes where the subject doesn't move that much, especially if i'm changing the color of something in particular.
Tumblr media
like this lwymmd gif, it's a very radical change in color so i had to use a brush and stuff to make the red turn white, but see how there's barely any movement? that's the type of scenes you want to use when you want to change its color (especially if it's something as contrasting and different as white) this one had a combination of hue/saturation and using a brush with a green color for the most part and selective color to finish tweaking her skin tone.
Tumblr media
for example since the red was super isolated i didn't have to tweak much, but for example when you want to include a bunch of colors you can play with the slides that are circled in teal to tell photoshop "i want you to include this specific tone in your color selection" so then you can desaturate it and increase the lightness (that's how you turn anything to white) or change it to another color, whatever you choose. that's what i did for the midnights bodysuit:
Tumblr media
i dragged the shit out of those sliders lmfao, but it's how i got to change the color in a uniform and faster way.
-
hue/saturation is my favorite adjustment because i loooove turning things white/black bc of two reasons: makes the scene so unique, bc no one has seen the red dress from lwymmd white, so it automatically stands out AND if for example you're making an orange set and you have a random color that you don't need (like blue, or green, etc,. again, make sure they're a bit isolated at least and that they are not close in the color wheel) you can always turn them white or black to enhance even more the orange! it's what i did with this gif. my focus were pinks, yellows and oranges, so i got rid of the blues/purples/cyans by desaturating them and add lightness to them (like i did with the rep gif)
Tumblr media
when it comes to enhancing a color that already exists in the scene i take some liberties, but it might not apply to every single scene. sometimes i do discard gifs bc it's not working how i want to. i just use selective color to adjust anything and again i go little by little.
-
Tumblr media
another example of me changing the color and using a different technique: halsey isn't moving at all so that gives me the chance to change the background to anything i want, in this case i used hue/saturation but in a different way, i selected colorize and increased the saturation. that way you're turning your gif whatever color you choose. with a layer mask i then got rid of the parts i didn't want to be affected by this change.
Tumblr media
-
Tumblr media
and same with this one, got rid of the green because it's a very isolated color so that makes things easier when it comes to change its color or get rid of it. and for this set i went for an all pink color palette so see how me desaturating it and turn it into white makes the pink pop even more? it always depends on what your set is going to look like, i could've changed it to blue or purple depending on the color combo.
i think this is everything i can think of, since i color every gif from scratch one case might not apply to another one, so pls if you have any doubts about a particular gif i colored don't hesitate and ask! i'd be happy to help and explain!

Oh Peach, not me waking up at 4am by chance and seeing that THE GREAT WAR HAS DROPPED AHHHHH!
Needless to say I didn’t get back to sleep as I savoured it and spent 2+ hours really reading it ❤️ thank gawd I’m working from home today because I literally rolled out of bed onto my laptop! I’m so freaking tired but I’m so happy! Peach I loved the fic so much it was fantastic and so worth the wait - I know you were grappling with whether you wanted to keep writing it or not at one point and I’m so glad you finished part I, if it’s okay I’ll send a big ask later in a few days as I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone!
Congrats on getting it finished ❤️❤️ I hope you’re getting your shoulders rubbed, drinking lots of water and taking a break!
much love
-🫧🫧
(ps the granny character had me chuckling, snarky and a little drunk she reminded me of my own wee granny bless her! 😭)
MY BUBLÉ!!
I’m so sorry I took you away from your sleep 😭 I hope you at least got some caffeine but asjkllsmsj you were that eager to read it?? 🥺🥺🥺 kissing you on the forehead
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I really did love writing it, and I’m already working on part II 🤍 thank you thank you thank you!!
Lmao I based granny of my own grandmother, so I’m glad she resonated!! She’s a softy deep (deep) down.

hi!! I wanted to say thanks for your post about gif making, it was really helpful!! I'd been struggling with sharpening for a while and with your explanation I finally figured it out.
I also wanted to ask: I'm having trouble importing video frames to layers on photoshop that didn't use to happen, and no amount of googling has helped. do you have any idea why this could be? what settings do you use on the videos you cut to import? and could you share what software you use for that?
thank you so much!!!! I love your edits ✨️✨️
thank you and you're so welcome!! 💗🤸
I just switched to using DaVinci Resolve (free video editing software but it was too heavy for my old laptop, therefore I used Clipchamp before which I don't really recommend now that I know better lmao) and converting the frame rate to 23.976. that way, I don't get duplicate frames when importing to PS (which I used to have to delete manually before 💀). right now, I do all sharpening and coloring in PS.
it's difficult for me to tell what the issue is but if it happens to videos that you used to be able to import, then I'd try re-installing PS or installing another version 😅 if it's a video issue, the above works for me (I use standard HD export settings) ✌️
hope you find a solution!!

do you have any advice for making gifs? i’ve become a fan of something that has barely any posts besides photos and for the first time ever a desire to make gifs came over me and honestly it’s kinda overwhelming so literally any tips would help, thank youuu
I do have a photoshop sideblog @creationsofthedark Whatever I write here is already reblogged there or posted, so you can check it out, just in case, I remember making a tutorial on how I make gifs, and tbh not really much changed since then. I know there are many ways to create gifs, however, I can speak only about the one I use.
Also suggest to check #photoshop tag on my blog, i might have answered some things about giffing process before that might be useful for you as well.
You need a device, program for screencaps and photoshop.
I use laptop, you can do the same on pc, if you have only ipad or phone then I would not be able to give any advice, I tried to create gifs on ipad, failed, so we are not gonna talk about it ever.
I use mpv for screencaps, thanks to amazing tutorial here that will help you to install mpv player and make screencaps from video.
You will also need photoshop, if you are not willing to pay for it, that's fine :D Not sure if it works, but here is a cracked version of ps you can check, or just google it, there will be lots of things you can get... for free. Yep, I am suggesting to pirate it lmao
So, once you have everything, make screencaps and here is the old tutorial to create gifs, back then i used kmplayer, but let's be honest that shit sucks recently and i am tired of it. So like for years I use mpv now.
I also was using cs5, cos my old laptop could not handle anything better, but newer versions are similar, so you will figure it out. Might as well do another tutorial, but not right now. You can also check some more photoshop blogs out there, they all have great tutorials on how to make gifs. Definitely better ones than my old one lol
And you will also find there lots of my psds, colorings that I used at some point and decided to put them there, they won't work on everything, but you might use them to learn how to color gifs yourself.
Do not be scared to experiment and do not give up if something does not turn out as good as you have it in mind, my first gifs are still out there and they suck, so yeah, you do it, you learn and you get better.

uh. hi! i got an ask on my main, saying my last post on this blog made it look like i died in 2022 from covid... so uhhhhhh just here to say that didn't?? happen??
1. i DID get 100% certified long covid on top of my chronic issues, which have ALSO been getting worse, so i have to be wise about how i choose to use my energy.
2. i never found a Totally Definitely Legal copy of PS i felt i could trust + my old laptop all but exploded (unrelated issue; it was just old and shitty). i don't want to risk fucking up my new one in any way so i need to be EXTRA sure it's trustworthy.
3. i haven't been watching enough anime to justify the PS search LMAO ;;; that isn't to say i haven't watched ANYTHING since my sudden hiatus, but it hasn't been much. plus, tbch, internet speeds where i live are doodoo shit, so downloading high quality anime rips has been a pain in the ass since i moved home several years ago ;;;
4. i've just been focusing on other things! again, limited energy. i've been putting a lot of effort into drawing more and into breaking out of my social isolation bubble in stream chats and on my selfship sideblog. it's been doing wonders for my mental health, so that's what i want to spend my time doing!
(you can find my main art blog here, but i've been mainly drawing on my selfship blog. if you're into selfshipping and want to follow, it shouldn't take too much effort to find me.)
tl;dr gif-making just isn't something i'm interested in right now! i've considered it, and i miss it to some extent...? but between the energy issues, the effort to find a safe copy of PS, and enjoying talking to other people more than churning out endless gifs, i just don't see the point lol. if i come back, i come back, and if i don't, thanks for sticking around. 👋🏻

PART 8!!!!!!!! Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it. What else can I say????
I swear, you made my entire month- and it's my birthday month! I kept refreshing your page the last couple of weeks, thinking maybe the story wouldn't continue after all or (God forbid) something happened to you or something like that. So I'm SOOOO god damn happy and of course you did NOT disappoint!! The chapter was a masterpiece. When I saw the chapter warning (as someone who is into dom men) I already screamed. Absolutely perfect. The smut was just *chef's kiss*. And as if you didn't already treat us enough with all those scenes, we finally got a Jisung update!!!
Considering Jisung, I'll be honest with you: When I first started reading Bodyguard, I mostly skimmed over his scenes as I was mostly interested in Felix and the protagonist, but by now, even reading his name makes me ugly cry like a god damn baby. I've been waiting on an update on his character like I was starving. I literally screamed (again.... thank God my boyfriend wasn't home today lol) I still get SO emotional when I think of their last evening together or his last scene in the hospital. He has grown on me more than I would have ever expected, and I swear to God, if we don't get a reunion before this story ends, I'll start a genocide. A Jisungcide. It's like I miss him just as much as the protagonist lmao.
While I was soooooo happy throughout the entire chapter, I still have serious lingering anxiety considering the protagonist's father and the possibility of him finding out everything. I just KNOW something has to happen. It's so nerve-wracking!! I wish I could jump into the story and just kill him lol. Him not appearing for some time feels both wonderful and eerily threatening.
It's probably obvious that I absolutely LIVE for Felix and the protagonist (I don't know how else to call her???). The chemistry, the passion, the trust, the EVERYTHING!!!! HELL YES!!!! It just keeps getting better in every chapter and it's SO nice to see Felix finally let himself go after such a long time. I love you. I love them.
Needless to say, I live for this chapter and I'm already more than excited for the next part <3 <3 <3 This review does not contain any emojis (though they would have been useful) as I had to use my laptop to type it out as there was just SO MUCH to say. You did more than amazing and you can be SO proud of yourself. Thank you so much for this update <3
PS: I had to run some errands today, and when I was done, I literally RAN the last few meters to my house; that's how excited I was about being able to read lmaoooo
PPS: while reading chapter 8, the song that kept on playing in my head was Honey (Are u coming?) by Maneskin. I can't say why, but maybe you'll like the song too :)
AHH i was on a walk when this appeared in my inbox and i was so delighted i sat on a bench to read it hahaha. what a wonderful, wonderful message to find, thank you for taking the time to write it!
i am so glad you have been enjoying it, including the parts you came to like with jisung hehe. and ooh thank you for the song rec heh i do like maneskin a lot :)
thank you again so much for the message!!
<333

Hi! I absolutely love your art! You’ve mentioned that you use CPS brushes for your drawings. But if you used procreate or photoshop, which ones would you use? This sounds dumb but I don’t know how to transfer CPS brushes into either of those programs 🙈 thank you! 💖
oh shit im so sorry for the late reply anon i somehow didnt see this.
Well u can import PS brushes to CSP, but unfortunately, u cant import CSP brushes to PS. I hope we can in the future tho cos i like the CSP brushes im using a lot.
When i was still using PS, I tried out a bunch of diff brushes but the only one that stuck w me for a long time was a brush my friend made and sent it to me. Other than that one, I use Shiyoon Kim's brushes, Kyle Webster's MegaPack (i think they r free if you have PS license), and Goro Fujita's brushes. I did take some of these brushes and tweaked the setting to my liking tho.
I rarely use Procreate cos I mostly work on my laptop. I used some of the brushes from MaxPacks's painter and essential pack sometimes. But now i just use a custom brush i made from the default pencil brush that came w the app lmao
U can check @digitalbrushes as well, they posted a lot of cool free brushes for PS and other programs ^^
I hope this helps!

Emma I'd LOVE to see a coloring tutorial from you! I also use Ibis Paint X for my colorings, but yours are so stunning and I think I could learn lots from you. I feel like I know the basics but doing more advanced coloring is still really tough for me >.<
Aww zebra! Thanks sweetie! 🥺💞 Omg that's wow! 😳💗 Im obsessed using ibisPaint X bc my Photoshop is a brat especially when it comes to colourings. I tried colouring using PS and ended up crashing my laptop lmao. I had to beg my sister to fix it lol 😭
So i learned my lesson and started using ibisPaint X! I use my digital pen to colour especially for shading! I'll try my best to guide you too! Hugs! 🤗💖

I am so mad at you right now, I hope you step in water every time you put a fresh pair of socks on.
But for real, that last chapter was incredible. Your writing is a wild ride every time. You had me gasping and screaming at my laptop for all 60,938 words, especially during that last chapter. You create such believable and complex bonds between your characters that truly keep me glued to the screen. Good job, and congrats! Keep up the good work!
(PS loved the Colombo reference:))
How cruel a fate for an innocent cowboy like me who has done nothing wrong in his life ever <\3 😭
(kidding I'm going to hell and I know it lmao)
Writing this chapter was a Struggle as I'm sure a few of you know, so that means a lot to hear! It's probably my favourite fic out of all my Lupin stuff so seeing people get really invested really makes my day :-)
I'm really glad that I got it out instead of it lying in my elephant graveyard of WIPS forever so sincerely.. thank you.
(also don't unsubscribe yet justsayin. why? it's a secret don't tell anyone shh)

aw that's nice ! i hope u enjoy ur time with ur mom 💕💕 and so proud of u for encouraging urself ☺️ u got this boo. just remember there's no rush or pressure, move only at the pace ur comfortable with. *hugs*
oh yeah i totally get that. juggling two things at once can be overwhelming, even just one can too. so i think it's good ur allowing urself the time to enjoy urself and tackle one thing at a time. plus i'm sure you've been needing a break this week with all the drabbles n all. but again there's so rush to these things love 💕💕💕 ! take ur time n write when u feel up to it. it's okay, promise 💕💕
no bc hobi 😭😭😭😭😭 i love this man, love it when he let's the intrusive thoughts win 🤝
ngl i'm a little bit sad n frustrated rn (i kinda want to cry.. i'm talking i need a good meltdown cry) but i'm slowly cooling down i think lol. thank u for asking bby
(also sorry for blowing up ur asks ! i'm stopping now promise hehe*)
also ps i'm like half asleep rn so if there's any typos mb lmao
okay bye - 🎀
we had a nice dinner!! so i’m glad im the one that asked to do it and i got strawberry milkshake so i’m happy. i looked in the lego store too while we were there cuz i wanted to get the dynamite lego but they didn’t have it 🧍‍♀️ i did however buy wootteo online, it was an impulsive buy but i need the serotonin rn
i get really bad language anxiety though so i’m 100% gonna overthink the whole interaction with the waitress today for the next 2 months but it’s fine 🧍‍♀️ sacrifices must be made when my mum doesn’t speak chinese so i’m gonna just.. yeah 🥲 pull my hair out maybe
yeeeah i thought about that yesterday, like i had to put my laptop down because i was forcing myself to write when i really didn’t feel like it, i just feel really shitty saying no to people so it’s like what was meant to a short lil game has turned into a big project for me so i’m just trudging through trying not to let people down. it really makes me happy that people like my writing enough to send requests in so i wanna try and get round to everyone as at least a small thank you for the support i’ve received 🥲 except i seem to always forget that i type kinda slow and i’m not getting as much done in a set time frame but alas i’ll get there in the end
HELP it’s the fact he would like shy away when he saw people and then this man started jumping over his phone, running with it saying puppy mode 😭 he’s so funny
oh babes ☹️ i’m always here if you ever wanna talk, and really i hope even if it’s only a little bit you feel better soon 🫶
(omg don’t worry, i love talking <3)
MWAH 🫂

Dad, why isn't Jemma good enough for you??? She's a delightful woman.
send me ‘dad’ and a question and jemma’s dad will answer it. // accepting.
               “is that what she’s telling people now? that she’s not good enough for me?”  he laughs dryly with a slow shake of his head, almost as if he was sad at the accusation.  “it’s nothing like that at all. she’s brilliant. she’s beautiful. she’s smarter than most people i know, and i work with some of the brightest minds in europe, if not the entire world. it’s not that she isn’t good enough for me. i just want what’s best for her. i mean, while she worked for SHIELD, she lied to us for years, saying she was a party planner. then to find out she’s working for some top secret organization, one that faces up against aliens and god knows what else. she could be the head of her own biochemical company, doing whatever she wants.”  
               it absolutely occurs to him that is what she wants, but he doesn’t care about that. not when she could be doing things that are so much flashier, things that make the simmons name look that much better, more impressive.  
               “i love nick and miranda. i do. i love all my children. they’re doing great things. nick has his own pediatrician office. miranda has her own law firm. jemma has multiple doctorates in various fields, went to the best schools. i just know she could be doing so much more.”  wants her to be doing so much more, especially where he could profit off of her research. why else do you think he’s always set up those interviews with companies that were subsidiaries of roxxon?  
               “when she was younger, i would always take her to my work events. show her off. show just how proud i am of my little girl. all i want is to be able to do that again.”

Was trying my damnest to get the sound of my music to be louder, so I kept hitting the right button on my laptop
which doesn’t help when you’re listening to spotify on your playstation, and have your headphones plugged into the controller.
