i hate e-begging but hi. i’m mika i’m a broke 22 year old nonbinary lesbian and i need to get back on track with paying my student loans.

my payments are only about $40/month right now, but since i don’t have a reliable source of income i’ve been having to postpone them for months. so much so, that i’ve reached the point where i am (probably) no longer allowed to postpone them.

as of march 6 2020, i currently owe exactly $204.11. i have maybe $5 in my bank account and no other way to get the money quickly. i’ve been applying to as many jobs as i can, but haven’t been called back by anyone so far.

if you wanna help you can donate to my cashapp or dm me for my paypal. even just reblogging this would be awesome, honestly

CASHAPP: $PRIMARCH

if you have an ipod or iphone or ipad or whatever then Please download the app “Make a Pose”

it gives you a lil figure like this

and you can make them do whatever you want!! Like

Took me about 1.4 minutes to make this sad little guy it’s Really easy to get the hang of

they Happy

you can change the camera angle so easy too so you can get perspective + foreshortening reference

THIS IS ALL FREE TOO but if you pay $2 you unlock the ability to have two figures onscreen at the same time so you can make COUPLE POSES

AND YOU CAN CHANGE THE LIGHTING,

you can also make rooms and place some objects or characters like so:

YOU WANT A CHARACTER W/ A BIGGER CHEST? HERE THEY ARE

YOU WANT A FRICKIN HORSE?

NEIGH NEIGH MOTHER FUCKER

Thanks! Uhh it generally shifts based on the texture & shape I’m going for, but here’s my general process / rule of thumb:

Or if you lock layer transparency — or however its called in Photoshop — you can use a textured brush to quickly pepper in some highlights & shadow to add a gold-ish effect:

You can make shiny & glittery gold pretty easily when you use a dappled airbrush. It’s the same process as above, but with a spray of large-to-fine dots. It takes a little more time, but the result is cool.

The standard version of ClipStudo comes packaged with the saturated line tool, which generates sunburst effects. And so we wind up with something like this:

hi anon! You’re not being a bother at all!! I use Paint Tool SAI 2 and its standard brushes with mostly default settings:

Skin tone swatches, for use as a resource. 

Spudfuzz on Deviantart made the original resource, which I modified to be a bit more realistic. She gave me permission to post this.

☛These swatches, like all art resources, should be used as a “jumping off point!” All colours are relative, and change with lighting conditions. As they are now, these swatches work best for adoptables, character lineups, and other art where local colour is important. ☚

thank you very much!!!
