AIGHT YALL RB THIS POST WITH YOUR ALIGNMENT CHART BLANKS FOR THIS ANON

someone asked me how to paint leaves being backlit by the sun so here’s a pretty simple process for that.

while i’m painting this i’m looking at a reference, of course, and thinking about the physical properties of light and how they interact with things, specifically leaves:

leaves are translucent; some light passes through and some is bounced off. it’s technically really complicated but basically, when light bounces off of them into your eye, they look… idk, normal? maybe a little glossy. but when light passes directly through them and into your eye, they’re super bright and saturated. here’s what it looks like with a guitar pick.

pretty dull. almost white.

woa. 

i don’t play guitar

anyway, i started with the leaves furthest away. they’re getting hit directly by the sun, and let’s say they’re slightly above us, so light is shining through and they’re bright as hell. then as i add more and more layers of leaves on top, working toward myself, they’re getting hit with less and less light. the leaves in front of them are blocking it all so they get darker. then you have the leaves closest to us which are actually a little lighter than the layer underneath. they’re being hit with some ambient light (the light that’s reflected off of other things in the environment). not enough to be really bright and colorful, so they’re pretty grey, too.

as for the shapes, the whole time i’m really just playing around and seeing if what i come up with looks okay. there’s a balancing act going on regarding how much of the lighter leaves in the back are showing and how/where i place the darker leaves in front to make it look as interesting as possible. it’s a lot of trial and error but you get a sense for it the more you do it. that should also be considered with the entire picture in mind, as opposed to what i have here in this little grey void.

Other Helpful Tips:

In order to see villagers on mystery islands, you need to have a villager plot already set up on your island for them to move to. Or else they won’t show up on mystery islands. 

 Once you unlock terraforming, you’re able to place sand squares on the grass to plant beach trees (Coconuts and lets hope Bananas) on top! 

 ALL Balloons stop spawning after achieving 300 ‘pops.’ (x)

 To get the most out items of rocks, dig holes behind your player so they have nothing to bounce into and you have time for an extra hit with your shovel, giving a total of eight max items.

My sister and I were really bored this past summer at like, 3AM, and decided we wanted to figure out how old Levi really is. Isayama has stated he’s “older than 30” and in his “early 30s”, but that’s it. Most of the fandom writes him off as 34-35 during the main story, making him as old as 39 now. We don’t really agree. This all is just theory so don’t take it seriously, but I think it’s pretty well thought out?

Here’s the chart we made

And here’s the explanation.

Uri Reiss inherited the Founding Titan in 829. At some point during his 13 years with the titan, Kenny and Uri met. It can be assumed that Kenny found Levi and his mother shortly after meeting Uri. So what we need to figure out to determine Levi’s age is…

1. What year did Kenny meet Uri? (Note: it is for sure 829+. I cut if off at 833, assuming Kenny and Uri met within Uri’s first 4 years as the founding)

2. How old was Levi when he was found by Kenny?

How old do you think Levi was here? While we know Levi is naturally small and was incredibly malnourished here, I can’t see him being 14, the minimum age for him to be the popular 35. Eren and the others were 15 during the main story and were 12 when the enrolled in the Survey Corps. Eren and Mikasa were 9 when they killed the people who murdered Mikasa’s family. He just looks and acts too young to me. I assume that he’s 11 at a maximum here, and more likely like… 8. But that’s just my opinion. I crossed out things older than 11 in my chart, but you can ignore the line if you think he could have been, for example, 12. 

Either way, find the age you think he is here, and the column with the year you think it was when Kenny found him. Move up… That’s how old he is.

So, if you think Kenny most likely met Uri for the first time the same year that Uri got the Founding Titan (829), went to find Kuchel shortly after, and that Levi was 11 when he was found, Levi is 32. If you think he was found in 830, and he was 9, Levi is 29. Heck, if you think he was found in 831 and was 7, Levi could be as young as 26. That breaks canon, but I mean, it’s plausible based on the timeline. Him being younger is possible too… I just didn’t add it to the sheet given the canon that Isayama has given.
