CREATOR TAG GAME ◆ post some gifs before and after colouring!
thanks so much for tagging me, beloved @heybaetae, @jkvjimin & @thisfuckingdeadlife <3
I'm sorry for already having posted most of these in my before after colourings posts before, I usually only save psds that I'm especially proud of...
as always, the enemies remain yellow and cyan tints, absolute whitewashed skin and sad, lackluster colour grading, but nothing 25+ photoshop layers can't fix am I right?
original posts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
I'm tagging @ye-xiu, @cordiallyfuturedwight, @btsiu, @jung-koook, @rjshope, @fireworksgalaxy, @jinstronaut, @lesbiansuga, @agustd3 and @spicyclematis 🤍

psd pack #1 by perotovar
i saw @heroeddiemunson show the difference between their gifs edited vs unedited and it made me wanna do the same! i have a few psds that i cycle through depending on the scene and figured i'd share them with anyone that was interested!
if enough people are interested, i might do a second batch of some fancier/more experimental coloring 👀
they're pretty basic for this first batch, but they can be decently customized for a lot of things. i obviously can't make a universal psd but i can certainly try to cover the basics lol
psd links under the cut! please like or reblog if you use!
you can have all of them in a pack -> here <-
or individually:
base
blue scenes (there's 3 versions within the psd)
foggy scenes
dark scenes
yellow scenes
day scenes

CMYK Explanations
Hey there Kääryleet!
We have heard you. Y'all want to know what is and how to use CMYK. So here's a quick explanation:
1-What is CMYK?
CMYK is a colour setting! It stands for the 4 colours of ink a printer uses: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. By layering these inks on the paper, we can print pretty much any colour we want! It follows the rules of substractive model of colour, like paint.
2-Isn't that how it is by default?
Anything you do on a screen is by default in RGB (Red, Blue, Green), and that's because your screen uses light and not pigment to show colours. That's the additive colour model. So, unless you selected CMYK or Print in your software, you're working in RGB.
3- What does that mean for me?
All you need to do is to set your file in CMYK. Depending on the software you use, it should be in the "File" or "Edit" menus. It's VERY important that you set the colour mode BEFORE you start your work. Why? Because going to CMYK from RBG means you're re-encoding your colours, and they will look duller/bad once printed, and there's a fairly good chance it will stop looking good on screen too. It's also pretty hard to correct once it's done. Don't forget we will be providing a PSD template, and we'll set it to CMYK.
4-Is there any colour limitations to CMYK?
Short answer? No. Just set your file to CMYK and start drawing. Pick any colour you want, as many as you want. Long answer? Yes, but it's simply because some colours cannot be printed with the normal printing process, as they require special pigments and ink. But that's not important for our project, so no need to worry about it.
And that's about it, folks! I'm leaving you with this short video that explains the colour models a bit better:

interpretations could include feeling like your gender originated long long ago or is of unknown/indiscernible/incredible age, feeling like your gender can only be understood with long forgotten ancient knowledge, or feeling like your gender feels foreign in the sense that it belong to a forgotten era.
this gender system may also be interpreted as a stand-alone gender.

how do u edit an image of an irl guy to look like a troll? yknow, like troll will smith.
Gonna do this one quick and dirty, and with Photoshop in mind.
Step 1) Desaturate the image by adding a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and dragging the saturation slider all the way down to -100.
Step 2) Add a Levels adjustment layer and darken the skin and hair by dragging the white output levels slider down a bit. This just adds pure black to the colors, so the same effect could be achieved if you paint black on a new layer over the image and decrease its opacity.
Step 3) To make the eyes yellow, add another Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and enable the "Colorize" option. Adjust the hue/saturation/lightness until the color is yellow-orange or whatever. Seems like Hussie painted black over the irises beforehand making them appear flatter, so do that too if you want.
To selectively adjust certain parts of the image using the adjustment layers, you can use the layer masks to do so. White areas are affected by the adjustments, while black areas are not. It's like going from 100% to 0% visible. If the program you're using doesn't have a feature like adjustment layers, then you can create a duplicate of the image and apply adjustments destructively as normal, and still create layer masks on those. If you don't have layer masks either then figure something out.
By default, the layer mask is entirely white, so for the Levels adjustment layer, click on the layer mask and go to Image>Adjustments>Invert. Then take your pencil tool, switch the primary color to white, and draw over the skin. Quickly outline the main parts and then use the bucket tool to fill it in. Faster than just drawing it in entirely by hand, but you do you.
Do the same thing for the Hue/Saturation colorize adjustment layer and draw over the eyes. Essentially, you're done. You can fill in the rest from here.

before/after gif challenge:
rules: from your creations, choose as many gifs as you’d like and do a before and after to show off your colouring and sharping skills.
My thoughts with coloring my Arcane Gifs under the cut:
So.... Arcane... soooo painful to make gifs sometimes lmao. Anyways, for around 95% of what I make, I have a base Arcane PSD which you can see in the first 3 gifs of Vi, Jinx, and Cait. Then, I adjust the curves, color tones, and color balance when necessary. Most of the time, it turns out okay, and I really like it for brighter scenes.
But oh god does it STRUGGLE in dark gifs like the one for Cait lmaoooo. A LOT of colors need to be adjusted, and even the Caitlyn one doesnt come out perfect. Since it's super dark, I can almost never use it for large gifs. It's why I just cherry pick which scenes to make into larger 540 x 540 scenes. The darker ones I typically either leave alone or make smaller crops so that you don't get to see much noise. I really need more practice on coloring them.
There are very rare times wherein the base PSD doesn't work, like the last Vi set, which had to be colored entirely different. I just don't like seeing a lot of yellows on my gifs (as a personal preference), so I decided to have a different coloring for it. I might experiment with more coloring next time, since I almost never feel satisfied with my colorings. But I still find my base PSD to be good enough for majority of the scenes. I’m still deciding if I should stick to an even more basic coloring style to preserve the original animation.
My sharpening settings are the same across the board, I don't really do anything else other than my smart sharpen and gaussian blur settings.
Overall, Arcane for me is pretty difficult to color lol, but it's mostly because I always struggle making dark gifs. I love the series, so I still try my best to make as much gifs as I can. I'm not much of a graphic maker though lol, because I'm not that creative. I usually just stick to making basic gifs instead. I’m always so awed at how other editors color and edit their Arcane sets because they’re all so good!
I'm really glad that I finally managed to have a base PSD so that it makes coloring a lot easier! Hopefully, I can continue to make more when S2 comes out.

I LOVE your colouring!!! do you have a psd / tutorial?
wow thank you so much!! and because you asked so kindly here's a simple tutorial on how i color gifs 💜
(to save on time i won't be showing how to create a gif or how to sharpen them)
CREATE YOUR GIF BASE
first things first is to create your gif and sharpen it to your liking. i'm using the latest version of photoshop just so you know
2. LEVELS LAYER
when coloring, i immediately start with a levels layer. obviously these settings will differ depending on the scene you're giffing. however, my goal is to balance the colors so that the highlights and shadows aren't color tinted. ultimately i want the whites to be white and not off-white - and i want the blacks to be evenly black.
this scene is already pretty bright so i'm not going to lighten it in the RGB channel. instead, i want to wash out the yellow in the whites with the blue channel.
when increasing the blue highlights, the shadows will become blue tinted as well so its important to balance the shadows by dragging that far left dial inwards
repeat that process with the green and red color channels until your satisfied
also important to note that you want your skin tones to be even, meaning not too green/yellow and not too red/blue. play around with the individual channels until you find that sweet spot
⭐ brighten your scene in the RGB channel if needed!
3. SELECTIVE COLOR LAYER 1
next is to saturate the reds in the scene and further dull the yellows with a 'selective color' layer
at first your gif will appear to be very discolored. you'll want to go to the 'opacity' tab in the 'layers' channel and set the percentage to 30% for this layer. like so ↴
4. SELECTIVE COLOR LAYER 2
time for the second selective color layer. this time the opacity will stay at 100%
again, just adding saturation to the reds and pinks and dulling out the yellows
i added a bit to the blacks to darken the shadows more
5. VIBRANCE LAYER
this is an optional layer i sometimes add when a gif is lacking in color. in this case it definitely needed it
END NOTES!
i just want to add that i don't always color my gifs this way. it changes with every scene i work on. a lot of the time my colorings are more complex and i end up with like 10+ layers. i wanted to keep this simple. hopefully it helped you a bit. but if you're looking for a more specific tutorial, please feel free to send me another ask 🩷
