people will be like “don’t worry it’s all in your head!” like babe… yes… that’s the problem… how do i get it out of there…
not to be insensitive but some of the salem witch trials were so funny bitches like “i saw her at the devils sacrament!!!” girl... what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament 👀
Your art is amazing!!! I love the stunning use of colour! Do you have a process to pic colours or just mess with them until you get something you like? :)
Thank you, you’re so sweet!! When I draw my own characters I just pick colors I like but for fanart there’s a few things I do. I’ll share my process here in hopes it might help!
When working with vibrant colors I like to soften them by warming them up, making them similar to each other, and avoiding pure colors altogether. Our eyes are sensitive so I never want my colors to be too bright or contrasting.
Tertiary colors are more unique and calming than primary colors so I use them a lot to punch up my art without making things too intense. It also puts a fun twist on designs when we use colors that are close but not exactly like the originals.
Balancing colors is so important! It’s my final step to completing every color palette I make. There has to be a variety, contrast, and a connection between colors. Adding a little of the same color to all of the others helps to accomplish this. Usually I take a shortcut by adding a color overlay in my painting programs. This is also another reason why I never use pure white or black---those colors will not be affected by color overlays.
There’s also my color post here if anyone wants to know more about color theory and things. Color is a huge deal but it’s really fun!
multiple thoughts after 49... but most importantly
Seasonal Affective Disorder is just emotional scurvy, all my core wounds are reopening and they won't be fixed until the big lemon in the sky comes back
people always try to play the "but you're a lesbian" card whenever i say odd shit about men and i think that's because people are too cowardly to accept the truth: these are pure, objective observations. i don't have a leg in this race. when i say Gene Wilder has a kind of evil warlock's raw sexual charisma in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory you can't write me off as being too horny. because i'm literally not. i'm making a statement of fact here. and you'll just have to cope with it.
