The idea of the light makeup and hair change was because the two of them suffer a lot on their teenage. Éden is more calm and happy now. She was kicked out of the house but is living with a friend who take her as a sister. Queen had a lot of trauma after her abusive mom died. The idea of the hair fading is that she still remember the past, but no longer hurts her. And the hair growing means a new change in her life 💕
I am sentimental now, sorry
💿you put seeds on my heart, but they grown dead💿

I think HCing characters with physical disabilities is good and should be done more often but whenever I do it I feel like

HOW TO USE THE "MAKE ART GOOD" BUTTON TO MAKE YOUR ART GOOD
HEY, YOU! Yeah, you, amateur artist! Have you ever seen a digital artist with really good fucking colours and wondered "HOW DID THEY GET THOSE REALLY GOOD FUCKING COLOURS?!" Is it experience, talent, and an eye for colour? FUCK NO. I'm here to tell you what the pros don't want you to know, which is that right within your very art program (assuming you're using Clip Studio Paint) is a single button that will MAKE YOUR ART GOOD*
* or like, marginally better than it was before most of the time
Let me show you how I took this BORING, UNGOOD Slime Rancher painting I did as a final project for my traditional art course from BORING...
TO RAD AS FUCK
IN APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES
THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE BUTTON.
You'll have to put everything on the same layer (I recommend putting it in a folder, duplicating the folder, and then collapsing all the duplicate layers together so your original work is still untouched), but after that, you can open the Gradient Map menu and go hog fucking wild.
This is what you're gonna see:
Basically, what gradient maps do is they map the darkest colour in your piece to the darkest colour in a gradient, and the lightest to the lightest, and then VOILA. All of your colours have been changed to the colours of the gradient. Neat!
You can use this to do things like automatically change skin tones or hair colours, or in our case, colour the whole painting!
You can download sets off the asset store and load them into your program by selecting the wrench icon and picking "Add gradient set."
All you need to do is load a gradient in the tool and voila...
...okay actually that looks like shit. (The gradient I'm using is #11 from the Yunywave set on the asset store! Go download it! It's a good set!)
So, our solution here is going to be different depending on the goal, the gradient, and whether it's a colour piece you're trying to zhuzh up or a B&W piece like this.
For this one, I duplicated the original layer and set the second one to Overlay at 100% opacity, then applied the gradient map to it.
INCREDIBLE! PERFECT!
Here are some other examples of how I've used gradient maps...
See, Overlay is a really good blending mode to use for this kind of thing, especially if you painted it with "normal" colours and just want to give it a little kick! But you should experiment with other modes, too. For a pastel piece, try Screen. For a subtle change, try Soft Light. For a moody or dark piece, try Multiply.
And you can also add even more details over the gradient layer to add that extra punch to it! In the example painting, I wasn't happy with the foreground tree's highlight being so dark, so I painted over it with an orange colour picked from the background, duplicated it, recoloured it to a dull yellow, and set the layer to 60% Glow Dodge.
Digital art gives us so many tools to make SICK FUCKING ART with, and gradient maps are like, the most powerful tools of all! USE THE SHIT OUT OF THEM AND GO MAKE COOL STUFF!
AI defenders will make it seem as if art is this gatekept pastime that only the most elite can partake in and they’re making it possible for the “normies” to create meanwhile one of the most memorable pieces of recent art I’ve ever seen is “My son’s drawing of safe”
Since I’m back on tumblr I thought I’d repost my old comic from 2018. A lot of things have changed since then and sometimes a dried out ‘never give up’ doesn’t quite hit anymore. But even when burnout sometimes feels less heavy, this brings back some hope.
Jfc y’all. Imagine doubling down this bad.
“Hey, I just made a new term!!”
“Uh. That term you made isn’t really new, and has been used in the past to say some really fucking harmful shit.”
“Uuuuuh actually I made it up myself and you’re lying.”
“??? Bitch literally here’s my sources-“
“But that’s a DIFFERENT word. Mine means this and that means that.”
“But… in *this context*, that word is really fucking bad. You should use a different fucking word?”
“This is slander and the actions of a hate group trying to silence me. I’m going to shout about the word even more now. It’s not even the same word!”
“THIS IS SUPER FUCKING OFFENSIVE TO ME JFC ARE YOU TRYING TO BE HURTFUL?”
“See?? They’re claiming I did this on purpose! This idiot doesn’t even know I only did 30 minutes of research lmao!”
This is the hill you wanna die on? This is the term you really think is best for the entire ass community??? Better than natural multiplicity I guess……..
One of the weirdest thing about growing up suicidal is that you assume you have no future, you don’t even try to envision it because you see no point. So eventually, you start assuming everyone else sees nothing in your future either. Recently, my friend and I were talking and she said something about how at her wedding I could wear a suit or a dress as long as it matched her bridesmaid’s dresses because the butler of honor has to make a good impression. This hit me so hard because I had never realized before how other people thought about me. She said it so casually like it wasn’t even a hard decision, just a given fact. She loves me so much she saw me at her wedding, standing with her on one of the most important days of her life. And you know what? There are so many people who think about you that way. If that isn’t proof that you should keep going I don’t know what is.

Reblogs appreciated 🫶🏼
One of my personal head canons is that Michael doesn't call william his father after SL, he just refers to him as "William" or "he".
guys... what if he was- y'know, a creep AND a weirdo ANyway I'm choosing to believe that one-off comment he made in the first movie about being bullied as a kid is actually a fundamental part of what shaped his philosophies and attitudes towards other people
