The tutorial of how I achieve watercolor effect in Sai! :) I highly recommend using real watercolor paintings (your own or ones found on the internet) as reference.

And here you can find a few useful links:

so this guy right here is one class-a asshole

he stated, as above, that he had created this artwork

after he gained 100s of RTs and favs, it appeared on my timeline and i recognised it as the work of Vince Low, who created a series of pieces in this style, paying homage to celebrities, mainly actors, with dyslexia

I read through the replies to his tweet, including “wow”s and “i’m so jealous of your art skill”s, and only spotted one other person who realised this was in fact not this guy’s art, though he completely dismissed this person’s comment saying “that guy stole my picture”……

so, me already being sick of this art theft shit, as i see it every day on the web, piped up

and you can read above (excuse the bad quality) that he completely dismissed me, saying i was “jealous”

ha

what angers me most is that he’s getting praise from 100s of people, and they will keep praising him because they won’t see the tweets where me and the one other person pull him up on it

ALSO, I GAVE THE FUCKER PROOF THAT IT WAS NOT HIS WORK. DOWNRIGHT, PROOF FROM AN ONLINE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE THAT THE WORK WAS BY VINCE LOW, AND THE LITTLE DICKHOLE STILL DENIED IT

some may say i’m overreacting, and that i shouldn’t use such foul language, but i am completely sick of this bullshit. i’ve had this happen to me in the past, and it made me less inclined to create art to share on this site.

when you create something you’re proud of, that you put a lot of work into, and someone credits it as their own and people believe them and continue to praise them, even after they’ve been shown proof that they’re lying.. it is one of the most crushing things to ever experience, i know.

so if you experience something like this, it may not make a difference, but you need to at least try to expose the assholes and voice the truth

and please signal boost!!!

So for ergonomic reasons and the fact that I can’t see 3D, I’ve recently gotten myself a 2DS.  This leaves me with this Blue Pokemon XY 3DSXL which I figured I’d give away since trying to sell it hasn’t proven very fruitful.

Specifically there’s the System itself, the box, the AR cards, a charger, and basically everything that came with the system other than the Club Nintendo code.  It has seen light use but is in very good condition.

It’s a US 3DS and thus can only play NTSC games and so I’ll only ship to the US, Canada, or Mexico.

Rules are simple, you get two entries, one reblog and a like.  On November 9th I’ll dump the entries into an RNG and give it to the person who pops out.

If you’re following me I’ll throw in a $20 code of the Nintendo e-Shop as a bonus!
