Between Reality and Fantasy

So I've been desperate to replicate the teary eye effect we see in cutscenes (mostly Tataru unleashing her LB3 on WoLs) and all similar questions I've seen on the crime tool discords are met with the same "can't be done, photoshop it" line of answers if any. So if you have zero photoshopping skills like me and want a fix of that sweet angst, here's a quick way to fake it in-game directly while gposing:

(Requires very basic Anamnesis or Brio experience)

-

(You might want this to be the last step after you're done posing your character, since you'll be dealing with a hand prop.)

Equip this prop to both your main and offhand, by typing in the numbers: 9072, 1, 1. and click below them to "show weapon."

2. Now since they're tiny little droplets, they'll be hard to see, so I suggest you click on the weapon bone in your preferred posing mode and scale them up to around 5. Raising the z value (3rd one) slightly higher makes the droplets rounder and easier to work with. And if the size doesn't change for some reason, try scaling the root or abdomen bone instead of the weapon bone.

3. Shove that thing up your eye (lovingly). It helps if you rotate each droplet sideways so that its shape matches that of your eye. (smaller tip toward your inner eye corner, large tip toward the outer corner)

4. Now the fun part! You can do this several ways: If you want the full-on LB3-level brimming-with-tears effect like Tataru's, just keep tweaking the scale of the droplet til it's about the size of your eye and position it just over the whole eye, tweaking and rotating until it fits perfectly inside your eyelids without clipping out, et voila.

The LB2 level: Another (more realistic?) way would be to lower the droplets to have them "well up" around your lower eyelids:

LB1 level: Or you can simply lay the droplets at their original size at the outer corners of your eyes for a "threatening to turn on the waterworks but can be assuaged with cake" effect

Bonus tips for extra realism:

- As with most other things, best to avoid symmetry

- Mix & match shapes & sizes

- The more dramatic your lighting the more dramatic they'll look

Natsuko Ishikawa went over her process for character writing, including the comprehensive background document she creates for each character. This information doesn’t necessarily make its way into the story, but it’s nevertheless helpful to determine people’s personalities.

I really struggled with how to answer this. I've only been a part of this community for about 3 months now, and every interaction I've had with everyone has been so, so positive and welcoming. I thought about just saying "everyone" and leaving it at that, but I already did that. So here we go: @missazurerose, @trysta-rider, @sproutoflight, @amalthea-felsblood, @foxgirlbeans, @caffeinated-moogle, @starrysnowdrop, @mashedpotatodragon, @shariko, @paintedscales, @valentine-the-hare, @relentless-boredom, @otherworldseekers, @sisitosito, @abracarabbit, @theythemet, @mimble-sparklepudding, @gutsygadgeteer, @hanaohreally, @zeloinator, @foxy-sierra, @geekcurious, @kraefishh, @fy-raaa-ga, @aura-whispers, @ascendedhypothesis, @rareleigh-present, @selnyam, @eliannarose, @janzoo, @ravendas, @diggingforkuponuts, @wanderingwizardstavernandinn, @hanajimasama, @lalaloopsyhotcocoamacaron, and of course @laliluluho.

Every single one of you liking my silly little gposes enough to follow me means more than I can express. I never really felt comfortable sharing any sort of creative works publicly before, and I was terrified when I finally took the plunge and posted my first gpose of Bunzo. I knew Lulu would be there to support me, but I was fully prepared to get no other interest and just quietly quit.

Instead I have been met with an incredibly generous outpouring of support and enthusiasm that still feels unreal. I would not still be doing gpose, expanding into comics, and now fics, without every single like and kind word I have received from all of you.

I hope we can keep sharing this community for many years to come. I love you all!

Ashen's Autumnal Abode!

Primal, Famfrit, Goblet ward 14 plot 60

Hello everyone. We spin around the sun on this wretched Etheirys one more autumnal season, and without a housing slot increase, so here I am offering a little design that I hope to expand on one day. I built tall for this one! Normally I like really tiny and cramped spaces, but this time I wanted to use as much of the atrium in a Large that I could manage, while bringing back some stairs and a hallway.

Ideally, I want a room off to the side and a bedroom on the top floor, and I built the structure in a way I can maybe add to it one day. I can also make the kitchen bigger and will renovate that.
