If you haven’t seen my tutorial on how I make gifs, please find it here and then come back after reading that post. In this tutorial I will show you how I color gifs and sharpen them as well.

Hello! @accio-bellarkes requested a tutorial on how I made these gifs, specifically the Gamora one, so under the cut is a tutorial on my step by step process. 

If you find this tutorial helpful, a like/reblog would be appreciated. 

For this tutorial I will be making a 540px gif instead of a 268px gif.

This tutorial presumes that you know how to use an action on a gif.

hey there friends ! I tried to make a sped up version of my psd process so you can see how I make them. this is the process of the psd I just uploaded called ‘penelope’. I hope you guys find this interesting / helpful (:

there’s a couple of ways to do it based on the sort of psd you’re trying to create ! for psds like juniper, candy girl, amethyst or tatiana I completely blew out all skin tones to as close to white as possible, then used selective color to create the exact shade of brown I wanted. for this method, I would use the “white” channel of the selective color and mess around with darkening the black, red and yellow mostly, though a little added blue can help mute the overall color as well. 

most of my other poc-friendly psds, though, are a mix of color balance and selective color layers. on color balance I up the reds / yellows of an image while, with color balance, I use the red and yellow channels to bring out the exact color that I want. you sort of just have to play around to get the colors that you want, here’s a few examples of what’s possible !

original images, unedited:

using only one selective color layer, I upped all the colors in the “red” and “yellow” channels to about 40 or 50 and upped the black in the “black” channel to about 20:

again, only using a single selective color layer, I added +20 black in the “black” channel, -25 cyan +42 red +100 yellow and +27 black in the “red” channel, and + 27 red +100 yellow and +55 black in the “yellow” channel:

this is my psd “juniper” which, as I mentioned before is a psd that lightens everything as close to white as possible. it takes quite a lot of curves and vibrance and a few threshold layers to get a psd to be that bright but after all of those, to get these colors, the psd is mostly selective color layers. as I said I start out using the “white channel” and add yellows and reds and some black to start darkening them again. I generally find it easier to make yellow or red the dominant color there, and I usually go with red, and then on a separate selective color layer I start working in the “red” channel and messing with colors there. like I said this method takes a lot more trial and error.

so, overall the main points I can give is to utilize the Selective Color tool as much as possible. don’t try to do everything on one layer but build up small adjustments through multiple layers. red and yellow make up the base of darker complexions so those are the best colors to play with – by no means should you be removing them if you’re making a poc friendly psd bc doing that WILL wash them out ! adding a little touch og blue / cyan to reds will help to desaturate colors and give them a little bit more natural complexion in your psd ( i.e. my first example ).

bumkeyz  tutorial  ii:  dotted  outline.

in  a  few  of  my  graphic  templates  there’s  a  dotted  outline  feature  that  i’ve  gotten  a  few  anons  on  how  to  recreate.  the  process  is  simple  but  it  does  have  quite  a  few  steps  —  so  hang  in  there  !  also,  i’m  not  entirely  sure  if  this  method  works  on  older  versions  of  photoshop.  in  this  tutorial  i  am  using  ps6  extended.  but  n  e  way  i’ll   be  showing  y’all  how  to  get  this  effect:

before  you  begin:

 this  tutorial  is  written  with  the  intention  that  you  already  know  how  to  navigate  photoshop.  this  tutorial  isn’t  complicated  if  you  already  know  the  basics  to  photoshop.  the  version  of  photoshop  i  will  be  using  is  ps6  extended.  i’m  not  sure   if  this  tutorial  will  work  for  older  versions  of   photoshop,  apologizes  in  advance.  for  easy  viewing  please  put  /mobile  at  the  end  of  this  posts’  url.

Hiii, yess of course! Here's the original tutorial I used to teach me how to do it. They explain it in their tutorial for "Gif 3"! I'll also show how I do it too under the cut! :) Their tutorial is much more simple though, and it's very clean and easy to follow!

So I’m going to assume that you mean into like a shape?  That would be using a layer mask!    If this is NOT what you mean please come back and ask again.

In this write up I’m going to assume you have a gif already made.

that you have a slight idea of the set up of photopea.  (I have things circled for you anyway)

Word Counter - Not only does it count the number of words you’ve written, it tells you which words are used most often and how many times they appear.

Tip Of My Tongue - Have you ever had a word on the tip of your tongue, but you just can’t figure out what it is? This site searches words by letters, length, definition, and more to alleviate that.

Readability Score - This calculates a multitude of text statistics, including character, syllable, word, and sentence count, characters and syllables per word, words per sentence, and average grade level.

Writer’s Block (Desktop Application) - This free application for your computer will block out everything on your computer until you meet a certain word count or spend a certain amount of time writing.

Cliche Finder - It does what the name says.

Write Rhymes - It’ll find rhymes for words as you write.

Verbix - This site conjugates verbs, because English is a weird language.

Graviax - This grammar checker is much more comprehensive than Microsoft Word, again, because English is a weird language.

We love aesthetic tags, but sometimes I find it hard to come up with aesthetic tag stylings or sometimes I recycle/delete old rp blogs and my formatting would be gone and I can only cry. So under the read more is 30 37 47 aesthetic tags that I’ve used in the past. I will be using “isms/musings” for the default but feel free, of course, to change it to fit your tagging system! if you enjoy my content, please buy me a coffee!!

                        How to Make Those Fancy Ass Tags

                                                  yєαн тнєรє тнiиgร

Because I couldn’t find anything on this when I was trying to figure out months ago and was too much of a scrub to ask anyone for help and suffered in silence until I accidentally figured it out on my own, I thought I’d make this. So now to help people avoid doing what I did, here’s a guide on how to make those fancy ass roleplay tags, as well as some format layouts you can steal if you want to.

there are a lot of different types of tags you can use when creating your blog. wanna keep it short and simple ? that’s great. wanna add in some quotes to make it more character specific ? perfect. decide on wanting it to be all aesthetic-y and fancy ? go for it. there’s no one universal way to do this and it greatly depends on what you feel most like using.

but if you do want to switch it up but have no idea how, that’s where this post is coming in. first off, there are some really great sites you can use to just pick out the symbols and letters you like and mesh them all together to create your own style. my personal go-to’s are yaytext, lingojam, coolsymbol, and fancytextpro. they all have similar features and give you a wide variety of various letters and symbols you can use.

now with that out of the way we’re coming to the actual tagging part. under the read more i’ve provided 30 examples you can feel free to use or edit however you want to. ( and also if you don’t find anything here, check out this post which has some more styles you can use. )

while i’ve sorted these examples by single and multimuses to make it a little easier to find something you may be looking for, these are interchangable of course.
