look at them having a completely normal non-manipulative friendship what good friends they all are. look at those happy smiles and ignore the red lines im sure the red has no symbolism at all hahaha

#mishapen draws #qsmp #jaiden fanart #took a few days to figure out exactly what i wanted to do with this and im really happy with where it turned out :] #i normally dont put so much effort into a piece but i wanted a cool new banner #my fave detail is absolutely the little bits of red though #if you look very closely there's a little bit of red in the cucus smiles and eyes #(and a little bit of red on the arm behind cucurucho's back- hiding evidence) #and the red that emphasizes jaiden's smile is extra bright red #enjoy the island etc etc #i dont normally use texture backgrounds or leaf brushes but i totally get why people do holy crap they're SICK #the perfect lil bit of background noise hehe #i had a lot of trouble with the colours until i put a greyscale filter on everything and realized that jaiden's values blended her into #the bg. it got a whole lot easier when i paused to figure out the values and then added the colour #overall i think im happiest with jaiden's face though she just. she looks so happy #but that fucking red..... #okay tag ramble over godspeed nerds remember that if your colours look fucked up you may just need to experiment with the values

More light studies/manga coloring with Fukigen na Mononokean.

I’m thinking about re-reading the whole thing again, so I may start doing random manga pages/panels. I keep doing Ashiya because he’s the one who appears in these non-colored covers, I’m neglecting Abeno, I really want to color him though. Also, I’ve finished part of my university duties, so I may be doing more of these soon.

#manga coloring #fukigen na mononokean #ashiya hanae #kiri wazawa #the morose mononokean #ramblings: #I was thinking about how to shade his sweater #and when I added the highlight it reminded me of my middle school sweater #it had such an ugly shine and texture #good thing I don’t have to wear that anymore #i also got stuck on the bg for a few days #i was thinking of doing a flat color as if he was at Zenko’s temple #but then while rewatching the episode I thought ‘why not add a tree bg?’ #i love using my foliage brushes

im trying really really hard to make concrete progress on second chance instead of just sitting around upset that im not making progress on it

i bought a speech bubble brush back which is going to 1 make my speech bubbles look less clunky and 2 save me TONS of time. im glad i did that! im going to get a lot of use out of these brushes so it was totally worth it

unfortunately, one of the pages i need to do is that full town view of petalburg, and while redoing the text entirely did make it look better i still have SO much coloring left to do that i am not looking forward to. i think i just hate doing backgrounds, which sucks for me because im still going to make myself do them. this comic is about going places so i will need to draw those places. and i want it all to look good! i love the concepts ive come up with, every town/city is going to be built different. it just sucks to draw them. and so the time saved is time lost in background hell

#im still trying to find that balance too between #what looks REALLY good #and what is going to be reasonable and not too time consuming to do regularly #its why ive been removing gradients from the characters #im using alternate brushes VERY sparingly #and if i do introduce a new one itll be for a particular purpose/texture only #i have one for the trees. one for the sun rays. just recently added one for the dirt #im expecting ill have to come up with a stone texture in a few years

ah

that's why i needed baking powder

#i wanted pancakes #i had no eggs either #but i've used apple sauce to replace them when i had a vegan roommate #i didn't have apple sauce either tho but i have apple butter #so i added a few tablespoons of that and left out sugar #the taste is fine it's just the texture that's... questionable #heavy #baking powder is now on my grocery list

I got into a 4 hour research hole earlier bc we're planning to experiment with body casting so my partner's Limited Edition Tits can be immortalised before their top surgery. which is a fun project! but anyway I was doing materials research and I feel like I'm being actively bullied by the fact that every time I put a pigment or paint query into Google I somehow keep getting Stuart Semple products as the first results.

some of you may recall that this does not suit me.

but also they must be putting a LOT of work/budget/keyword research into ads bc. I was searching for Actual Brand Name Products or Very Specific Technical Specs and getting Stuart Semple's colourshift pigments. Stuart Semple's metallic coatings. Stuart Semple's black spray paint like GOOGLE I'M LOOKING FOR A CHEAP BASECOAT NOT A £20 MID BLACK MEME PAINT.

#i have beef with blackest black separate from my beef with Stuart Semple and his fanbase #my beef is. we got it to try out a few years ago and i literally have £2 acrylic from the Works with a better finish #like. a stronger more matte more dense black. from the Works. the place you go for budget sign making materials. #i would be less annoyed if it was like a Windsor and Newton or even Daler Rowney paint beating it out #but. the Works own brand paint in 2018 was SUBSTANTIALLY better in every way too #in texture. viscocity. depth of shade. resilience (idk about the newer blacks but the 2018 version flaked easily #and didn't hold thick layers on curved surfaces it has to be built up in 5 or 6 layers to get coverage) #like the neon pigments i liked but the premixed paints leave a lot to be desired and for the viral marketing push he did #the blackest blacks are in fact. mediocre to bad. the only thing to sell them is Taking A Side In The Stale Kapoor Beef #anyway. the fact that Culture Hustle is CARPETING Google ads #despite the fact i do not go on their website ever and am explicitly searching for different products #really does reinforce my uncharitable assessment that Semple's calling is nothing to do with art and everything to do with marketing #red said

Ignore me I’m just crying over the fact that there’s nondairy ice cream cups now. Single serving ice cream cups, like the same ones that are made for kids dairy ice cream and you buy in bulk for a party or get as the complimentary kids dessert at a restaurant. And now all the kids that can’t eat dairy will get to actually participate in those experiences that I had to miss for my safety and won’t have to be as isolated from food

#the fact that like. it’s not materially different. it’s in a lil shitty cup that’s hard to eat out of but fun and it tastes good and isn’t a #weird texture or flavor #so they have a chance to experience it normally instead of dessert always being a big Thing at parties #I went through so many years of crying over ice cream because all I could have was terrible ice like a rock almond milk ‘& #‘ice cream’ that was always bitter no matter how much sugar was added #and being stared at awkwardly by parents at sleepovers and birthday parties and handed a few Oreos dug out of the back of the cupboard #instead of getting to participate as an equal and that doesn’t have to happen anymore

#food tw #protein bites #recipe #i added a little more than 1/3 cup peanut butter and they're pretty damn good. texture ever #edit: #this amount made 18 bols that are no bigger than 1 inch in diameter (I think only the biggest few were an inch) #I. ate all of them that day sbfHKYTGCD

perlin noise has changed my life

#riki showed me it during an artstream and i'm realising just how good it is now #it's sooo good for adding texture to things #i use it so areas of solid colour have some texture and don't just look ''unshaded'' #but it also adds a bit of warmth and fuzz #you can see where it is on my last few pieces

Girl help I really need to do the test tasks for a new job or else my life is gonna get very bad real soon, but all I want to do is draw ttrpg characters.

#majek says shit #ok so Im jobless since august but I had a safe amount saved to live a little too comfortably until about now #and now I have money left to live relatively normally until January and after that uhhhhh bad 0 money left #I got caught in a trap of “animators are always wanted in gamedev you'll find a job in 2 weeks” thing everyone seems to genuinely believe #turns out every studio on earth is looking for Seniors and Leads or 3D animators that turn out to be 3D generalists able to do everything #from concept to every kind of model optimised for games and texturing and rigging and mocap and keyframe stuff and vfx is also nice #and I'm like “hello am animator know how to make character move. i can give them skeleton but not necessarily if in 2D” #“have a few years of experience in gamedev but got fired just before the premiere of my one title that will list me as animator” #got fired along with many others because the publisher backed out and there was no money to keep most of the artists this close to launch #so far only two studios followed through with the recruitment. one makes casino games and asked me 3 questions through mail #they wanted to know why im looking for a job. have I heard about them before and how much I wanna earn. also added that my personality #should shine through my answers. sure xd. the other is a mocap studio and they want me to do a test. in software I last used 5 years ago #and its mocap which I dont like and know almost nothing about how to do it #and I WANNA DRAW. I made a disaster of a cleric to replace Cayden in the old party and Im itching to draw him properly #also there is secret satan and a whole queue of scenes from recent sessions #including the lase one when Cayden was possessed by an ancient wizard (?) for a few seconds and now has mild ptsd #there were such cool visuals there because he was connected to a tentacle that pierced the back of his neck and his eyes went black #and I had to fight the party from that moment. hit them once with a big fire damage spell and then passed a save. and then failed again #fortunately the party destroyed the artifact that did the posessing and it ended. but my boy simultaneously experienced some cosmic horror #beyond his comprehension. and kinda saw his own hands casting fire at his friends. all while he was fighting in his head with some tentacles #and being watched by first disembodied black eyes and then by a shadowy figure #now he has weird nightmares of more cosmic horror and gets uneasy if he looks at the night sky for too long ;o; #I also have a drawing of the party celebrating their promotion to captains and like 3-4 sketches and one other big scene #in which Cayden has a romantic tension moment with another character while casting prot from evil on them to save them from mind control #also I have a commission to finish that a friend paid for LAST NOVEMBER #but that mocap studio is waiting for this test for so long now I have to do it if its the last thing I do in my life

Hello hello!

Here is COMBLES, a set focusing on slanted walls, ideal for converted attics or just last floor of old buildings! It wasn't made on purpose but I think this set will be perfect to give a new look at your attics to rent them with the new expension pack coming !

It has been a little challenge to make everything look nice and easy to use. As the game lighting has its own rules, I've made my best to make pannelings, shelves and slanted walls match together! For technical purposes, the shelves are separated from their wall-part, but everything snaps to the wall so you will be able to combine them easily !

I've added a few plaster walls and beams to add an extra rustic feeling, and the plaster colours match Woodland Ranch's plaster so you'll be able to mix and match with the previous sets too!

I really can't wait to see what you will be able to create with those new pieces, I'm so excited about it!

Have a lovely week 💚

You can find the items by searching for COMBLES or Pierisim in game.

Some items share the same textures so make sure to have the packages finishing by "texture" in your mod folder :)

All base game compatible.

unmerged and merged version available.

"Beware the Well of Shade, for the shadows run deep through its endless walls and twisting caverns" I've been messing around with this rig on and off for awhile, but I finally finished this little side project making a short scene in the style of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I've never been quite happy with how Starswirl the Bearded looked in the show when he finally appeared but, last year I happened upon a really cool fan design of Starswirl by the user Orin311 that I fell in love with. I decided to make a one view puppet rig this year directly based off their vector art as a surprise, complete with show style lip sync and a full walk cycle. One thing led to another in adding a background, a few illustrator texture brushes, multiple sound effects, re-purposing some old fire animation of mine and suddenly it became a whole completed scene. With such a cool wizard design, the choice for using Gandalf's voice to test the rig with was a no brainier. The background is based on the Well of Shade location in the Season 7 finale of MLP. I had a lot of fun making this and it was great practice for some future personal animation projects I wanna start next year! Credits for the character design and sound effects listed below

(Retro & Vintage) Gaming Consoles #1 - PlayStation 1 (PS1) - Updated & Fixed

So, Mr. Procrastination has been squatting with me for a good while now. I have so much CC to upload but for some reason I never get around to it.

(As Shown in the picture below) ⤵️ 5. PlayStation (PS1) Controller / Gamepad - Functional/Override (in Simlish)! (install EITHER the simlish override or the regular override, not both.)

This set also has a few colorful swatches for those of us who are more whimsical 🌼

Your art is extremely inspiring. Do you by chance have any tips for creating reflective highlights and their placement? It’s something I’ve been trying to figure out for so long and it’s just not computing in my brain. 🫠

First of all, thank you! Ahh I'm not as descriptive with words, so let me give you a quick rundown.

Once you have your base and all is good to go, you create the gradient in the direction of where your light source is (up -> down in the image). The direction will always depend on angle or 'curve' of the metal/material you're trying to work with. Up top, I did a downwards reflection since my shape is more diagonal, rather than uniform and straight. There are times you'll have a round shape, in where this time you'll go ahead and create the highlight at the apex of it. Next, you have to decide what KIND of highlight you'll be using. I usually work with multiple lighting layers, but for this example I'll only show 3. The DULL lighting is just regular low lights that show the texture as reflective, but is most likely AWAY from a light source and/or is reflecting off something that doesn't have much shine. The NORMAL is your regular highlights that is usually just a lighter shade than your base. Since most if the time it just follows your low light(think of it as the intensity of the reflective light source), you can just place it on top of the DULL lighting. The HARSH lights are only portion that are directly in front of the light source OR are the most intense parts of it. Think of it as extreme sunlight etc, and it goes apart from your regular highlights. Lastly, you can add more color to you material by taking in other reflective surfaces, specially those with different color. I added the blue as an example and just color the panel that directly faces it.

I added a few example of lighting from my works so you can kinda see what I'm talking about. They might not seem as different at first, but the placement really makes a difference once you start finishing your rendering. I'm not great at explaining sorry, but I'll try to do another stream and walk people step by step? Would that be ok? Hope this helps a little!

Baker's Kitchen Collection

Hello everyone!

I present to you my new collection which is a kitchen set! I wanted to create a kitchen for a baker sim because lately I'm into making sourdough bread. For this kitchen my inspiration came from farmhouse, mediterranean and french country kitchens. I wanted to make it a little rustic but not too much and I added swatches which could be used for a more luxurious house as well.

I wanted to make more items but if I say that I struggled with the counters it doesn't even cover the half of it. So next month I'm going to make possibly a beautiful oven to go with this kitchen (what is a baker without an oven) and a lot of baker-themed clutter similar to those few which are included in this set. This is my first early access collection since I'd been working on this so much. I'm really grateful if you support me and if you wouldn't like to, this collection and all of the others from now on will become available for free to download after 1 month of early access. I hope you'll like this one and feel free to leave feedback!

The Set Includes

Kitchen Counter

Kitchen Island

Rail (5 pieces)

Range Hood

Shelf (3 pieces)

Workbench

🔹 Compatibility All items are Base Game compatible. 🔹 TIP You can find the items easily in your Build Catalog if you type in "Baker's Kitchen" or "VALIA". 🔹 Info - Low poly, new, maxis match meshes- Since some items share the same texture you need to have them in your mods folder to properly work.

EARLY ACCESS ON PATREON Public release on the 6th of May
