requested coloring tutorial

got the following ask from @jonismitchell: Hi! I love your edits. I was wondering if you could share any tips on giffing Bly Manor (namely how you get your gifs so nice and bright)? Thank you and I hope you have a lovely day :)

— tutorial under break —

omg!! first of all, THANK YOU!!! and secondly, i’m sure you didn’t mean to ask for a whole tutorial post, however i’m taking this opportunity to do one purely because it’s fun for me to make.

i’m gonna use a scene that has good lighting, because honestly it’s the easiest to work with when you’re making bright posts. (if i’m being really honest, if a scene has low lighting, it’s difficult for me to edit sometimes, so i just throw on a b&w layer.. and no shame!! b&w is cool and looks good too!!)

first, i’ll go in with my curves, and find a white point to basically auto-edit the scene, and balance out colour. if it’s washed out and lacking contrast, i’ll sometimes go in with the black point and do the same, but it really depends since i don’t want my gif to be too concentrated and contrasted.

next, i add my base colouring, which is a mix of selective colour, curves, vibrance and colour balance that i’ve saved as a psd for quicker gif making. i do edit the individual layers if it’s needed. in this scene, i removed some of the curves in my colouring, as i had added the white point & black point curves.

dl my colouring here (it is mine, so please do not repost without credit.)

i usually finish my gif by playing around with photo filters, selective colour, colour balance and hue/saturation. i like my blues, greens and pinks to be vibrant. i’ll up the yellow for dani’s hair, just to emphasize the blonde, but i try not to let it affect the skin too much.

for added effect, sometimes i add layers and colour in the parts i want most vibrant, and add a blend mode. i’ll link @chonis’s gif tutorial as it’s basically the same as i do, and it’s explained well.

the most important part in gifting, and what i enjoy most about it, is that no two scenes are ever truly alike, so you really just gotta play around with it and have fun developing your own style!!

hopefully this helps you, and please, if you, or anyone else, have further questions, my dms & ask box are always open! :)

final result:

#hope this helps!!#tutorials #coloring tutorial #completeresources #yeahps #dailyresources #mine #ask #jonismitchell

Midsummer Texts

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh Characters: Yugi Muto & Yami Yugi Prompt: Yugi has a crush but has no idea how to talk to her. Yami offers to chat with Yugi’s crush over text. Confusion and chaos ensues as feelings go wayward.

A/N: I suck at writing romance, but this blog is a good excuse to start practising. I’m not quite decided whether this will end up to be a Yami x reader or a Yugi x reader. Maybe I will do both and make it a choose-your-own-adventure?

Once more an AU where Yugi and Yami are twins.

**Duel Online is something I came up with and totally did not name after Duel Links. Since I don’t play DL and have no idea how it works I’m going to create my own game so that I can mess around as I like without judgement. ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

There was confusion, there was shock, and there was utter mortification. There in the queue in front of the pizzeria you had confessed, with the crowd surrounding you as a witness.

“[Name],” Yami sighed, rubbing the back of his head as he wondered how to react. How was he supposed to respond? There was no guideline in how to reject your brother’s crush. There was no way this could end without anyone's feelings being hurt.

“I know, you were trying to push Yugi to get closer to me,” you quickly cut in, your face slowly growing all sorts of shades of red, your eyes trembling as you tried to look anywhere but his face. Your fist balled as you will yourself to continue, to hold it together and see through what you had started.

“I know, I understand now,” you sighed, searching for your words, your thoughts in shambles as you tried to grasp on whatever passed, whatever comprehensible thought you had that was relevant for now, ignoring the panic that your mind was trying to see through, the worst-case scenarios that you were imagining yourself.

Taking in a deep breath you lifted your hand, signing to Yami to keep quiet for a little longer, not wanting him to interrupt you yet as you continued to formulate your next words.

“At first I misunderstood. It was always you who filled in the silence, you who approached me. And I supposed I should have figured it from the moment Yugi sent me that DM,” you started, suddenly your words were barraging out, thundering down like a waterfall as you took in a sharp breath.

“In any case,” you sighed again, eyes blinking as you tried to compose yourself once more. “I don’t appreciate it. I get why, but if he --Yugi-- can’t come forward himself I don’t see myself…”

You trailed off after that, not knowing how to finish the sentence, not knowing how to end this conversation without making yourself seem like a fool, or callous, or without hurting the genuine feelings involved.

“At least this clears up your feelings for me!” you tried to cheer up, a bright faux-smile on your face as you faced the older twin. “Let’s order already, our turn is soon,” you filled in the silence as the other just stared at you contemplative.

Neither of you really knew how to deal with the situation, or what to say.

The mood between Yami and you hadn’t improved either when you returned with the pizza. While the rest of the group was chattering happily you had at large kept to yourself, maintaining a distance from the twins in particular.

It didn’t take long for the story to reach Yugi. The twins kept little from each other, and Yami in particular was especially bad in keeping anything from his sibling. It didn’t take a genius anyway that there had been something amiss, what with you switching groups and then the general soured mood you seemed to be in.

“[Name] said that, huh?” Yugi grimaced to himself painfully, his hands wringing into each other as his brother relayed the story. “I suppose there is a point made there,” he continued, heaving a sigh.

However, Yugi wouldn’t be Yugi if he had been deterred so quickly. He wouldn’t have made it to the top of Duel Monsters if he let bullies keep him down, and neither would he have made invaluable friends, or snapped Yami out of his reverie if the younger twin had simply given up so quickly.

“That just means that from now on I need to stand firm on my own legs, right?” the male spoke up to his brother, his eyes glistening in determination as he faced Yami, who seemed to look quite conflicted himself.

Yami hadn’t told Yugi about the confession, yet. He just couldn’t, for some reason and now that his brother finally had gained something that resembled confidence the older twin found himself lacking any confidence to spit it out.

“Don’t worry, Yami,” Yugi continued to chirp, an idea brewing up in his head as he reflected on your words. “I’m grateful for all of your help, but [Name] is right, I should have played open card from the beginning,” he spoke in conviction.

Meanwhile, in your own room you had come to a similar conclusion of your own. Though rejected, Yami had never outright rejected your feelings, though you figured that he would probably reject you in favour of his brother.

However, it wasn’t Yugi that you wanted and neither did you care much for who was giving leeway to whom. This was about you and your unresolved feelings, and if the experience with Yugi had taught you anything it was better to speak up than having to wait.
