Please look at these incredible mugs of our cats that my mum made for my birthday!!

They all have lil balls and buttholes. I think they look just like our boys. Mum's gotten so good at pottery, I'm so proud of her, and I LOVE these mugs. Best birthday present ever <3

It didn't happen spoilers for the Bad Batch

I was so sure that Rampart was going to be Jurassic Park'd if u know what I mean

(he was not)

Not really Bad Batch spoilers, but

I am so curious (and also mildly concerned) how they're gonna wrap up in just One. More. Episode!!!

Wanted to say Glaze 2.0 is AMAZING.

What took 30 mins+ before, took me THREE MINUTES last night. WITH my other programs still running.

For folks who tried Glaze but haven't been using it due to glazing time, give 2.0 a chance!

I've heard that other folks have had it taking the same time/longer, but the quality is so much better. Your settings will determine the outcome, but it's definitely a huge improvement over the initial release version.

This update was super sexy of the Glaze Project. You can download the updated version from their site HERE!

(You should also use in conjunction with Nightshade!)

I just love her design❤️ Do you prefer her with glasses on or off?

(shh i know her bangs go under her glasses, but I didn’t want to draw a second version of her hair)

I felt so dumb after I sent the question. I legit agonized over it at work that night.!

Lighting!! I love your lighting style and am working to refine my own, how do you start making lighting on art?

Please don't feel dumb! But yeah, having specifics really helps me actually say something that might help you!

Mm, so regarding lighting, I admit I'm largely just winging it myself so I'm not sure how helpful I can be. But a few random tips in case one of them is a new thought:

1. Everyone says "pay attention to the lighting source," which sure, is very important. But I've found that my own lighting got a lot more interesting and just better in general when I also thought about lighting *other* than the primary lighting source, especially reflective light. So if I have light shining down from above-ish (like, 99% of my art lol), I also make sure to not just add harsher lighting to foreheads/places where the direct light hits, but also a softer glow (sometimes of a different color!) from the opposite direction, where presumably whatever is off screen is reflecting the light.

2. Play around with different lighting hardness. This will depend entirely on your style, but for me, I usually have at least two lighting layers: one with very soft, big airbrush to set a kind of atmospheric direction lighting, and then another separate layer with my harder more defined lighting. Playing with how hard/soft those edges are can really change the vibe of the piece!

3. Use effects layers, and try different types. I'm also just lazy, and find that effects layers are an easier way to throw on lighting/shadows. For me, I like to use Dodge layers for lighting, but dodge layers also tend to turn things warmer toned. Which works for me because I like warm tones, but might not be what you're looking for. Other effects layers may give things a whiter/ashy tone, or amp color saturation, etc, lots of options! Effects layers also vary by the program you're using, but yeah, the tip here is to just play around with them, you might be surprised at what works for you!

4. Shadows and Highlights are in many ways different sides of the same coin. I know a lotta folks just want to say there is a "neutral" no lighting flat color for things, but the reality is that everything we perceive through vision has light on it. What this means is that though you may start with a flat color for practicality's sake (I mean, I assume most of us do), sometimes adding shadow to the right parts will make it look like it has lighting, or vice versa. So oftentimes, to make lighting look more dramatic or moody, I will have darker shadows on the rest of the character to give more extreme contrast.

5. Especially if you're not going for hyper realism, sometimes lighting doesn't necessarily have to be literal. Even if it doesn't make the most sense, you can add brighter/different color lighting in areas that you want to highlight, like a character's face, or a special point on their prop, etc. Lighting is, in the end, just a tool to make your art, so make it do what you want it to do, not the other way around!

Kinda just spewed out first things that came to my mind! Idk if any of these help, but I hope some do!

Hi! I want to ask if its OK to draw fanart for your One Piece fanfic AU where Luffy is a mermaid.

Sure! I'd appreciate if you could credit me for the AU/character design!

Figure some YOI folks may still follow me, here's the news.

Hmm, so I found 2 chapters of fic from an AU I was working on in my previous fandom (One Piece; the mermaid AU) that I apparently forgot to ever post publicly.

I don't want to mislead folks into thinking I'm active in the fandom again when I'm still very much in SW, but should I post them? Or nah?

The Prime Override - Chapter 71 is up!

Hevy - The Lord of Kamino

Here's the next chapter! It's a chill one, because I think we all need that after the last one (I need it, at least lol!), BUT we see some familiar faces that folks have been asking about for a while!

Also, a new character POV!

This chapter: A normal day in Tipoca City.

“I see you chose the platform where the Prime fought Kote’s jetii,” Hevy snorts. Two-Thousand shrugs as his hands expertly flick over the post-landing cycle. “Eh, thought it’d be fitting, given our recent guest,” he says nonchalantly, but Hevy also hears, he was on my mind, alright? I know he was on yours too. “Fair enough,” Hevy agrees. He must have already sent word ahead, because there’s a welcoming party waiting for them. Or more accurately, a single individual who stands on the walkway, uncaring as relentless winds and rain rage around him. He stands there, as still and serene as a statue of warriors of old, his pale cape and ankle-length kama whipping around him like banners. It’s a fitting image, Hevy thinks, for the protector of Kamino.

Any advice for artist out there?

Depends, what kind of advice are you looking for?

Just "advice" is so broad that I couldn't begin to guess! Do you want advice regarding motivation? Inspiration? Exercises? Digital art programs? Anatomy? Lighting? Lining? Social media? Giving me something to work with would help me tell you something that's more likely to be actually useful to you ^ ^;
