Just A Random Artist's Sideblog

I don’t think I’m gonna post my art anywhere except Ko-Fi, a handful of Discords, and MAYBE Inkblot and Bluesky. If then, even, because I don’t think I have enough space to download Nightshade or Glaze or the processing space to run them.

If I do end up having that space maybe I’ll post to Instagram and Tumblr again. But right now probably not.

And if that means I never land a career in animation? Because I’m not ~active enough~ on social media? Because I can only cram so much art on a portfolio site and feel safe doing so? Because I’m not good enough? So be it I guess, I’ll just rot.

Want refs for Art Fight but don't want to deal with the grind? I'll do your refs for you!

That's right, I'm offering 25% off all commissions from now until June 27th! If you're interested, slide into my DMs or check out my Ko-Fi and use the code AF25OFF.

This sale covers ALL my commission items, so whether you want a few quick character sketches or a full turnaround sheet, now's the time!

TEAM CRYSTALS LEGGOOOO

I also drew a dino-demon for a discord pfp, since they’re kinda dino-like! It’s weird seeing one with muted colors lol

But that's a 'read the story aloud to see what's wrong with it' advice.

And I think there's maybe an even more important reason to read your fic aloud.

It will show you all the the things that are RIGHT about your story.

Because there inevitably comes a point where you've read your own story in your head so many times that all the words are a bland mush that will leave you convinced that there's absolutely nothing interesting or good in your writing.

And if you go back to it many months later, you might realize... oh, this is a pretty interesting fic. And that's because the brain has had time to forget every tiny detail of phrasing you came up with, and you can actually read it like a reader, not the author.

But that road takes months, and until then, you might be inherently convinced that the story is literally the absolute worst thing you've ever written.

But... WHEN YOU READ ALOUD, you automatically start giving the words inflection, inflection that, when you're reading something that you haven't written yourself, you kind of hear even when reading quietly. But for your own story, all that inflection and weight has been sucked out by way too many rereads while you were looking for grammatical errors. The fastest way to be able to see it again? To hear it.

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

ive been noticing the EXACT SAME PROBLEM whenever i would export an image from procreate and it drove me CRAZY that my art would desaturate all the time. anyway, if you're in a canvas, go to settings > canvas > canvas information > color profile

once youre in color profile, if your current color profile is display P3, CHANGE IT!!!!!! it is desaturating your colors. you're gonna want to change it to sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1 instead

if you're starting a new canvas, you can just go to color profile and change it that way. im SO grateful for this post for giving me the push i needed to experiment with procreate files and finally see what was changing my art to be so desaturated

like LOOK at this!!!!

blorbo time! brainrot : exxxtreme Perilla and Kev been officially ported to Burner and they slid into the plot sooo goood lore and alt under the break

Got in the groove and finally plugged my tablet back in after a long break. I can't make a resolution to draw more and keep to it- but I'd like to draw more this year.
