OH MY GAWD I LOVE THESE SO BAD, HER NECK, THE MUSCLE, THE LEGSSSSSS WHYS SHE SO PRETTY STOP OMG

how zurg managed to pull this off is beyond me

stares at you with my big ol eyes,,

I use Ibis paint X on an iPhone 15 with my finger! Been using this method for around 6-7 years now and wouldn’t want it any other way :3!

for brushes, let’s just say. I use. A LOT, (like. I have over 200 custom brushes saved, some of which I also made myself!) I’ll give you a bunch of my favorite ones though and the ones I tend to use most often !

my primary lineart brush, super awesome, just a pain in the ass to color under- this is the brush you can primarily see me using for most of my artwork

My calligraphy brush, pretty basic tbh! I use it primarily for lineart as well (which you can see on some pieces in a specific style)

Pencil brush, I don’t use it too often but it’s a super nice brush none-the-less

This brush I made myself, you’ll see me using it if I’m recreating any sort of manga panel/anime screenshot/etc etc, absolutely amazing brush for lineart

Middle thin brush! This is the one I usually use in the very rare circumstance that I actually do rough art, it’s. Not the greatest for clean lineart so if you are gonna use it for anything other then rough art I highly suggest a more “doodley/rough” style for it

This is a brush given to me by a friend, super good for any sort of color splatter/blood/etc!

Also given by a friend, good for backgrounds

Good brush for coloring with a more “pixilated” style

Literally the best fucking thing EVER for overlayed texture on an art piece, this brush is meant to be used by coloring over your main art piece on an overlay/softligjt/hardlight/etc layer and then adjusting the opacity for a fun colorful affect which you can see here, the layer I used for this was a hard light layer

Awesome blending brush that’s very fun to use especially for stuff like fur/feathers/etc

If you’ve seen my recent Evangelion x phighting post, then you’ve seen brush in action! this is the brush I primarily used to color the manga cover redraw and is PERFECT for any sort of painting style

Silent Cylons

The director of the Battlestar Galactica S2 episode “Downloaded” was concerned about demystifying the Cylons by showing more of their society. So here’s what he and the producers did:

“One of the fun things that [the producers] came up with is that in places like the coffee shop, most Cylons don’t generally speak. When [the director] staged the scene without background chatting, it definitely felt weird.”

I never noticed that! It’s cool to think of them sitting there without talking, just going through the motions while their minds are occupied with something else. Looking back, there’s quite a few things the show did to remind us that Cylons weren’t human despite looking it.
