Festivities - Smaugust 20

Who isn't fascinated by dragon dances? Apparently there are also lion dances, but it's Smaugust, not Simbagust, so it had to be a dragon. I used Wombo to create "a powerful gorgeous asian dragon", on Vibrant style I believe. Of several renders I picked this one and drew a face, fixed up some part and added a nice filter, and here we are. I found that when only overpainting a few parts rendered especially by Wombo that has sharp edges and soft areas, Painter's Pinch brush is invaluable to create the pixel-thin lines of colours bordering softer areas. I first paint with a PS brush with Color Variation set to fore/background, and add ample amounts of Median filter.

1/14/2023 First weekend of shows, part 1! Starting as red lion on the lion pole🌶️🦁 Posting in chronological order of events 📍Saturday, January 14, 2023 performing for Kumo Japanese Restaurant's grand opening in Cumming, GA. 🎥Thank you for watching my show, Yuki! From the GA Hkers group🇭🇰footage & pictures courtesy of Yuki It was SO WINDY. I felt the pole SHAKE. MULTIPLE TIMES. And it didn't help that Tony didn't watch where I'm going, so I could only stay on one side because this MF ONLY squatted on one side. BRUH HAS ONE JOB & it's to watch when I need to turn direction so he can help counterbalance the pole by STANDING and/or sitting...and it's not like I'm moving fast like I am on the ground, there's only so many little steps I can take when I'm on a pole. Stg.☹️ smh. But in the end it turned out fine, just couldn't do superlion today. But ayyy my original tail + flag team @nninalvs @maria.starzz WE LOOK SO GOOD💖💖💖I swear, we look the best in the team🤗FYI: nina & maria have NEVER dropped me EVER. even when they're much smaller & lighter than tony, they still make more stable balancers than Tony ever will. I love you two. Also: Alan & me noticed the camera! Look at our million dollar smiles!!!💖🤗😁 Then went to Momocon dance with cosplay group @risaozu.cos @redpanda_lamai @zero_celes at night. We did some clown activities, some ikemen activities, and a whole bunch of LIT activities🔥Thank you everyone for enjoying my dance, welcome new fans! We had a wild weekend. AND IT'S ONLY SATURDAY.

Starter for @dragondancee

There's a magazine that catches your eye as you walk by a newsstand in Hammerlocke. Emblazoned on the cover is the text "RED HANDED - Will the truth about Piers Kellach's STD status finally come to light?" 

Behind it is a picture of Piers, snapped as he’s walking out of what seems to be a clinic. A pop out zoom of his hand is shown, where it seems a red rash is creeping down his wrist. Glancing around, there are a few other gossip rags commenting on the same issue. Some of the titles make vulgar plays on his song titles.

“‘I can be your wh*re’ - Is this one one-night-stand too far for the famous singer?”

“Last Resort - Piers tries last ditch efforts to hide STD diagnosis!"

Others, mention you by name, and Leon as well. “Piers’s secret finally revealed - will Raihan and Leon leave him for good?” says one mag with bright pink lettering, geared toward celebrity relationships. 

The man running the stand shakes his head when he sees you stop, seemingly oblivious as to who you are. 

“Field day, innit?” he comments, sighing. “Then again, they always are wi’ that one. Don’t think the poor sod even deserves ‘alf of it. But aye, I suppose fame comes with a price.”
