Janus shedding hcs! my favorite thing is giving Janus more snakey features, (largely because of my obsession with Snake Discovery on youtube…)
-Janus in blue! “In blue” means a snake is just about to shed, named after the milky blue color that their eyes turn. They’re also blind during that time which ties into the blind Janus hc that went around.
-Janus sheds ALL his skin, not just the snake half, however only that eye goes blind and really turns blue. this is based off the fact that scaleless snakes exist! look them up! They still shed their skin but the shed is thinner and kinda looks like when you let school glue dry on yourself and peel it off
-Another prior hc i love playing with is that Janus’s shed is like a period. He gets irritable and snappy and really uncomfy, so the others have to be really nice and they kinda do his bidding cause he’s scary when he’s pissed. also just cause they feel bad for him…
-Janus wears clothing what isn’t restrictive and has less contact with his skin. this is another reason he tends to hide away before he sheds: he doesn’t like dressing unprofessionally in front of the others.
-Janus rubs on things to help him shed. it does help that he has hands unlike a real snake so it’s a little easier but that also just creates a new problem, that being he is not tube shaped so getting a clean easy shed is super tough and takes a long time.
-Fresh shed Janus is also very uncomfy! His new skin is very sensitive so nobody gets to touch him, he has to ointment it up like a full body sunburn and usually ends up with a tub of ice cream sitting in the middle of his room floor trying to reduce contact with any surface. That lasts about a day.
-Remus steals the shed skin. Janus doesn’t want it so it doesn’t bother him, however he does wonder what he does with it. Does he wear it? Eat it? Just kinda hoard it to have around and admire? Only Remus knows. It’s stolen and never seen again.
-Janus has a post-shed meal. He doesn’t eat while he prepares to shed and shedding takes a lot of energy out of him, so he needs to refuel. I hc that Janus has a split lower jaw and a wide throat so he only eats occasionally (once or twice weekly a meal about the width of his waist) like a snake. This is why when Patton makes him come have family dinner with the others he just ends up sitting there awkwardly. I have a fanfic about Remus being oddly into how Janus eats and he often provides meals so he can watch, usually by slaughtering something. tbh, Remus “Monsterfucker” Sanders is really into most of Janus’s snakey features.
(bonus old Janus shed drawing under the cut! I drew him shedding more like a lizard back then)
Since the OP of the original tutorial on tumblr deleted their post, here’s another tutorial (with pictures) on how to make your text a gradient on tumblr like this:

“Boo! Er… I mean, hooray!”
“Not very observant, you are, hmm?”
“Well, I’m certainly better-looking now, Anakin. Have you seen yourself?”
“But not back to Tatooine, right? I hate it there.”

so here it is! the designs for the sanders sides steven universe au @warnadudenexttime and i have been working on!!
ashley helped me a ton with the story and design ideas and i cannot thank her enough for it!! currently we’re planning on having some oneshots and comics for it!
so here’s some basic info on the gang under the cut
do you have any tips for palettes? i tried twice and they turned out like absolute shit :///
I usually just eyeball the colors when I draw but this site is very helpful when it comes to choosing colors!! http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/color-theory-intro.htm
I just sorta summarized it into pictures so you don’t have to go back and forth but i didn’t put the in depth meaning behind it so i still recommend checking the site out!!:
I’m only a self taught artist, no school or professional background so a huge disclaimer
I’m pretty sure most people knows the basics like neutral, primary, secondary and tertiary as well as subtractive primary colors (CMK) so I’ll skip through that along with the cold and warm colors:
Volume and Saturation plays a big role on making palettes. It plays the part of the appeal and what colors to choose, palettes that are too saturated or high on contrast are quite painful to look at (some artist make it work by balancing it out so they still maintain the bright colors) and unsaturated, low on contrast palettes are dull to look at and not very a appealing.
Tints, Shades, and Tones are sub terms you can use, this chart is to help you differentiate them
Now the fun part!!
Color harmonies are basically techniques for choosing colors. Since SAI’s color wheel is kinda a disaster I recommend just looking up a color wheel on google or you can use this one here.
You can pick any of the techniques there (heres a more in depth explanation of each technique) and just start experimenting with them! Here’s some tips to get you started:
Don’t take the techniques literally!! You can toggle your colors all around, just use it as a base
Saturated colors =/= good color scheme balance it out!
Contrast is your pal remember that but too much of it can hurt your eyes :(
I usually use a maximum of 5 [or 6] colors and a minimum of 3 for making palettes. 4 is usually the most common one used
I pick 1-2 very saturated colors and the rest are up to the mixing
HAVE FUN!!
Here are some palettes I made using each techniques:
Have you ever wanted to make your own enamel pin or embroidered patch? How about a sticker or a shirt? I used to work for companies that produced these items, and obviously made tons of my own designs. I wanted to share my knowledge with everyone that was scared to take the first step.
I made a post that covers these common questions:
What kind of product is best for my art?
What kinds of options are available for these products?
What company should I use?
What is the ordering process like?
What about shipping?
Where should I sell online?
Should I crowdfund or not?
Do you have any tips for self promotion?
