This reminds me of the melting glaciers in Norway that are causing all manner of things to appear from the ice.

I think 90% of my gripes with how modern anime looks comes down to flat color design/palettes.

Non-cohesive, washed-out color palettes can destroy lineart quality. I see this all the time when comparing an anime's lineart/layout to its colored/post-processed final product and it's heartbreaking. Compare this pre-color vs. final frame from Dungeon Meshi's OP.

So much sharpness and detail and weight gets washed out and flattened by 'meh' color design. I LOVE the flow and thickness and shadows in the fabrics on the left. The white against pastel really brings it out. Check out all the detail in their hair, the highlights in Rin's, the different hues to denote hair color, the blue tint in the clothes' shadows, and how all of that just gets... lost. It works, but it's not particularly good and does a disservice to the line-artist.

I'm using Dungeon Meshi as an example not because it's bad, I'm just especially disappointed because this is Studio Trigger we're talking about. The character animation is fantastic, but the color design is usually much more exciting. We're not seeing Trigger at their full potential, so I'm focusing on them.

Here's a very quick and messy color correct. Not meant to be taken seriously, just to provide comparison to see why colors can feel "washed out." Top is edit, bottom is original.

You can really see how desaturated and "white fluorescent lighting" the original color palettes are.

[Remember: the easiest way to make your colors more lively is to choose a warm or cool tint. From there, you can play around with bringing out complementary colors for a cohesive palette (I warmed Marcille's skintone and hair but made sure to bring out her deep blue clothes). Avoid using too many blend mode layers; hand-picking colors will really help you build your innate color sense and find a color style. Try using saturated colors in unexpected places! If you're coloring a night scene, try using deep blues or greens or magentas. You see these deep colors used all the time in older anime because they couldn't rely on a lightness scale to make colors darker, they had to use darker paints with specific hues. Don't overthink it, simpler is better!]

#not art #dungeon meshi #rant #i'm someone who can get obsessive over colors in my own art #will stare at the screen adjusting hues/saturation for hours #luckily i've gotten faster at color picking #but yeah modern anime's color design is saddening to me. the general trend leans towards white/grey desaturated palettes #simply because they're easier to pick digitally #this is not the colorists fault mind you. the anime industry's problems are also labor problems. artists are severely underpaid #and overworked. colorists literally aren't paid enough to do their best #there isn't a “creative drought” in the anime industry. this trend is widespread across studios purely BECAUSE it's not up to individuals #until work conditions improve anime will unfortunately continue to miss its fullest potential visually #don't even GET ME STARTED ON THE USE OF POST-PROCESSING FILTERS AND LIGHTING IN ANIME THOUGH #SOMEONE HOLD ME BACK. I HATE LENS FLARES I HATE GRADIENT SHADING I HATE CHROMATIC ABBERATION AND BLUR

Northeastern Farmers Face New Challenges with Severe Drought

Vermont farmer Brian Kemp is used to seeing the pastures at Mountain Meadows Farm grow slower in the hot, late summer, but this year the grass is at a standstill. That’s “very nerve-wracking” when you’re grazing 600 to 700 cattle, said Kemp, who manages an organic beef farm in Sudbury. He describes the weather lately as inconsistent and impactful, which he attributes to a changing climate. “I…

OH DANG. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie confronting the Jade Emperor for the sake of the common people...

#jttw retellings #jttw 1986 #sun wukong #monkey king #zhu bajie #the jade emperor #haha think I just found one of my favorite moments from a jttw retelling #and I think this really gets at one of the reasons I love this monkey #just the nerves of steel to confront those in power for the sake of others...#this provides a really neat contrast to the havoc in heaven too #where here swk gets the jade emperor to lift the drought by successfully arguing his case #HOWEVER #the threat of him being able to have another havoc is still there #which is indicated to be one of the reasons why the jade emperor ultimately lifted his ban on rain haha #also while I do find zbj kind of hiding behind swk funny here #it's still really cool that they were both severely punished by heaven #but still have the guts to cause trouble & confront the jade emperor himself for the sake of people he keeps telling them not to care about

got caught up with the hnk countdown twitter account today and the panel where bortz tells dia that they don't care about fighting and like raising jellyfish better is still the funniest panel of the manga

#this is like the equivalent of a midwestern farmer looking up and seeing a ufo #it's been centuries/millenia do you think bortz just forgot what a sunspot looked like at some point #the panel in question is from @HousekiCount's Jan 11 2024 (79 days since hiatus) post btw #hnk fans how's the drought going for yall #bortz got therapy and stopped to touch grass while dia went to space and was idolised into an even more severe inferiority complex #in a less dire post-moon universe bortz would’ve left dia’s manic battle speech on read or replied with a 👍#bortz @ the jellyfish: fucking superb you funky little guys #do you think they marvel at how squishy the jellyfish are because their old routine was just fighting and sleeping #im so obsessed with bortz's short hair. i cannot emphasise it enough i find it so hdlahdsllsks #this was inspired by meme nova's entrance in terminalmontage's 'something about kirby super star animated' video #imagine the music slowly getting louder as the sunspot gets closer.#bortz #houseki no kuni bortz #hnk bortz #houseki no kuni #hnk #hnk fanart #land of the lustrous #lotl #lotl fanart #hnk spoilers #my art #fanart #art #doodle #comic #dont repost or you're getting thrown in the pool as jellyfish chow

okay so its not very clear what exactly happened during the resurrection sunday live, and all we know is that koga and adonis probably didnt see what rei and kaoru were doing and that kaoru was whining like a bitch

kaoru says his, very famous, line, so we assume rei mightve actually bit kaoru

BUT maybe it was lightly and/or not too deep to not draw blood, since he does need to make the bloodsucking look real but also he already had the blood from adonis

and if that is true, then kaoru, while may not have the opportunity to be used as the sacrifice in public again, could still be able to provide blood for rei in another ritual potentially. like how adonis did.

which means reikao bloodsucking!!! *loud cheering*

#im delusion #al #reikao #there is a very severe reikao fic drought on ao3 right now #im dying #i could contribute but i want to read something thats not written by me #reikao bloodsucking in es year three #fingers crossed #vex pleads the 19th article of udhr
