Latest/Current Obsessions:

Lately I’ve been watching the original Ben 10 series on Tubi along with other Cartoon Network shows I grew up with.

But I am still in love with the BB Pirates and in One Piece, still writing new updates for my ao3 fic series, One Piece: Black(which you guys should totally check out btw) & drawing every week…

I'm classic, I grew up tending flowers since my mom’s a florist and she would always bring me a bouquet of lilies and roses each month. But my all-time favorites for the wintertime are the Poinsettia...

First, to tag some people: @animatedc9000 @timona-lisa @arsenicolada @nightmaremp @palettepainter

Last Song I listened to: What It Sounds Like by Huntrix. I've been pretty obsessed with the song since I found this Multifandom video on YouTube a short while back. It's pretty well made!

Latest/Current Obsession: The Batman (2004) animated series. It's pretty good and I'm in LOVE with its take on the Riddler! (He's normally not my favorite Batman villain, but this version of him has me a bit won over) I've been watching it on Tubi and just got to season 5.

Currently Reading: The manga volumes for the Whole Cake Island arc of One Piece.

Also, The Batman Strikes, the comic spinoff of The Batman 2004, on a comic book reading website.

Currently Wearing: A purple T-Shirt with "Scaredy Cat Club" printed on it, along with an image of a startled black cat. It's a shirt I got last Halloween, and I love it. Also, shorts and glasses, but they aren't distinct.

Last Searched: Scott McNeil. I had recently watched a video about some cartoon from the 2000s that had been lost for a while, and he voiced in it and it got my wondering if he had been in anything recently. His last voice role was in 2021 and that was that Johnny Test reboot...and I have no idea how good that was and rather not find out.

Scott McNeil voice acted in a lot of animated series from my childhood, and dubbed in a good handful of anime, and he's got pretty decent range so it's a shame he doesn't get more work!

Favorite Flower: Sunflowers! It's a pretty classic flower, but I can't help but enjoy them. Also, they're one of the few flowers that don't irritate my allergies!

Latest/Current Obsession: I've been really into collecting matchbooks lately! They're like little album covers. I know they stopped making them for restaurants/hotels since smoking went out of fashion, but it's kind of a shame they're not as prominent as they used to be.

Currently Reading: Jersey Diners by Peter Genouese. It's about the author's journey visiting every diner in New Jersey. It contains all kinds of history and vintage photographs. If you're into Americana kitsch, I'd highly recommend it!

Currently Wearing: A mustard-yellow heavy cotton tshirt and dark grey shorts. It's nearly 11pm where I am and I'm probably gonna crash any second.

Last Searched: "what paint to use on a phone." I found an old landline phone in a storage closet at my office and my boss said I could take it. I wanna turn it into something, just don't know what yet.

Favorite Flower: Venus flytraps. Fucked up little creatures❤️ (and before anyone gets on my case, venus flytraps can flower so yes they count)

ruby’s room has a lot of pink and hearts, it also has a sewing machine, dolls and a tiny bed for doom kitty

Skull Boy’s bed is a coffin surrounded by books (since he loves to read and learn new skills)

Scaredy Bat’s room is all in pastel colors and very bright (he is afraid of the dark) and a ladder to his bed since he doesn’t like flying. it also looks very cozy and soft.

Misery’s room is like that

frank and len’s is a shed with a single couch and their instruments

i got a similar ask about this a while back and i've been working on something to better explain what i mean because i'm not too happy with that guide anymore so i'm just gonna address both here!

in my original post i talk about choosing analogous colors rather than using layer settings, but you guys are asking about multiply layers so let's talk about that since frankly they do save up a lot of time and headaches AND they can help understand color more easily so we can pick the palette from scratch next time.

right, so we have our guy.

in the sunset example, a deep orange multiply layer would look something like this:

however, in my previous guide i said that usually warm lighting means cool shadows. this isn't always the case, however, because the color of your shadows are determined by your environment and bounce lighting. shadows on their own have no color because they're just absence of light, so the color we perceive them to be is what's being projected onto the subject.

this same sunset with cool shadows would look a bit like this:

if that looks more natural even though it doesn't match the orange of the background, it's because sunsets only look orange around the area the sun is in the sky, so the color of the sky that's facing our character here would not be projecting an orange glow onto him.

while it's not a hard rule, like i said, usually warm lighting comes with cool shadows. i think it's also worth keeping in mind that reference photos can look very different from one another because of editing, exposure levels, filters, weather and time of day, etc. so also take your own outdoors observations into account. always observe colors when you go outside if ever (don't be like me)

here's another sunset example except the sunset is now behind our viewpoint and facing the character from the front. he's not fully lit up, perhaps he's standing under something where the sun light doesn't reach him directly. i used a red glow to indicate sun this time only because i think it looks cool with the teal sky:

now addressing the ask with the "pikachu in a green house" example: yes, i suppose using a multiply layer that matches the color of the environment works. after all, like i said up there, shadows will usually reflect the color of the surroundings the subject is in.

this was a lot of blabbing about colors and i didn't even touch on values which is also super important!!! but i'd like to do some studies before i talk about that to make sure i'm not talking out of my ass. hope this helps though!!

I remember laughing a lot when Hedorah started smoking what's the equivalent of a blunt for her
