Nadye Art

Thank you! I thought it would be fun to put up a tutorial. Keep in mind that there are many other workflows and this happens to be the one I personally use (though it's constantly changing, like with any other artist). And to stay on topic, let's use our dear majesty:

First we gotta part with a midtone canvas. Using white or black as a starter color is going to result in more difficulty to separate the light family from the shadow family in your palette, which brings us to the next step:

We gotta define planes by adding a clear shadow. Remember: shadow is everything about planes. A base shadow has to be relatively simple and defined, responding to the surface of the respective material. Don't be afraid of using hard edged shadows, which are used when an object is casting it. Soften the shadows when they're transitioning from midtone to dark.

Next, the light. Be sure to have a clear lightsource when you're sketching! Lights are basically another world that answer to the material upon it. And remember that even in the light family, there are dark spots (which we'll be seeing later on).

My personal favorite: ambient lights. Those are the lights present when there is no direct source present, like when you're in the penumbra. This adds depht to the shadow family, and you might vary it's brightness depending on the environment.

Subsurface scattering! This one is to be used sparingly, because it's present mainly in translucent objects. It's a line of separation between direct lights and shadows, so don't overdo it with ambient lights. Although you can sometimes bend reality here and there, but you ought to observe it carefully first.

Next, ambient occlusion where ambient light doesn't exist) and midtone lights. My palette is rather limited, but you can push your darks here as much as you like- as long as you remember the golden Proko rule: don't let your lightest dark be lighter than your darkest light. Doesn't roll of the tongue, but it basically means to keep the families separated.

And finally, highlights. Everyone loves them, and they're used to make everything pop out, although they're often overdone. The secret is to keep in mind the material you're working with. His crown, for example, is metallic and prone to have a lot of highlights. Things like clothes or uneven surfaces, not so much.

obvious warning for homophobia, transphobia, etc. in the link above.

I was born there. I have countless of LGBT friends there, and the fact that this is happening in the year 2020 is inhumane and terrifying. 

If you’re Polish, vote in the upcoming election. If you’re not polish, please spread the carrd around.

Wiktor was almost 15 years old when he threw himself under the train. He was transgender.

Michał was 29 years old when he hanged himself on a tree. He was working as a model. He was gay.

Dominik was 14 years old when he hanged himself on his shoelaces. He was gay.

Milo was 23 years old when she jumped off a bridge. She was an activist. She was transgender.

Kacper was 14 years old when he hanged himself in his house. He wasn’t even sure if he was gay yet.

All of them were bullied in school. Some of them were assaulted, insulted, attacked on street. Some of them were denied psychological help they needed. Some of them were denied medical treatment.

All of them died because of institutional and personal homo- and transphobia here in Poland.

I will think about those five people - one of them I knew in person. I will think about them when I go vote today. And when I vote, I will think about countless children who might lose their lives in the future because of politicians who find themselves a new public enemy - “LGBT ideology”.

None of them was “an ideology”.

from begging:

(12.06.2020) in tv program one of the guest member of Sejm Jacek Żalek from „Agreement” party which allied with the ruling party of Poland said that „[LGBT+ people] are not people, this is an ideology” Katarzyna Kolenda- Zaleska, the journalist hosting the tv program decided to throw him out from her program.

(13.06.2020) Andrzej Duda the president of Poland gave a speech to his electorate in which he compare „LGBT ideology” to neobolshevism” and once again said „this is an ideology”

people went mad. rightly

(15.06.2020) this is Helena Biedroń. she is a mother to Robert Biedroń (the first openly gay member of the Sejm, leader of the „Spring” party, one of the three leaders of The Left, candidate to President, MEP) she read the letter from polish lgbt people parents to president. one of the quotes from her moving speech:

„I came here from afar, but i have something important to say to you Mr. [President]. I can’t stay quiet when my child is hurt.”

(bless this lady she deserved the world)

(17.06.2020) Andrzej Duda invited Helena and Robert Biedroń and Bart Staszewski (polish LGBT activist) to a meeting. only Bart Staszewski showing up in President Palace. after the meeting he wrote this on his twitter account:

Helena and Robert Biedroń didn’t show up because they claim that president did not want to debate with them but he invited them so he could had a photo with them to manipulate that he atleast tried.

this is the end of mine post but this shit is still on. and you know what? i feel threatened. as a Pole, as a activist, as a LGBT+ person, as a human.

one last word from me. VOTE

So I’m not sure what to call this

But I figured I’d at least try to impart my knowledge of (hank hill voice) weapons and weapon accessories.
