with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing

cohesive but still contrasting

This kind of talks about color and composition

This is a bit about landscape specifically

Values & composition

Contrast in composition

Balance in colors & values

This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones

Cohesion within compositions/lighting

"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!

This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!

Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process

it has all my favorite KH characters!

such as

Sora

and man... I really wish that people understood that when I say "Don't spend money on gacha, it might kickstart a gambling addiction" or "if you regularly spend money on gacha you might already have one" I don't mean it as a moral judgement. Addiction isn't something that solely affects "bad" or "stupid" people. Addiction isn't some punishment that is deserved. If you suffer from any kind of addiction, you deserve help. But the first step of getting that help is acknowledging there is a problem in the first place.

also: while this applies to all addictions, gacha addictions especially suck because people keep trivializing it. There are so many memes and so much enabling like "lol just spent all my savings on gacha :p" "3000$ for my waifu, a pretty cheap price!" "lol it's too late for me I already spend so much on it but you guys stay safe!" "Don't spend on gacha? No, spend MORE on gacha!" which I believe only adds fuel to the virulent hostility against any post that goes "hey, this isn't normal, please be careful."

the spirit of garnet possessed me, and instead of working on my fics i edited a short snippit of a music video for her because I Love Her

over on patreon Brianna asked for fashion dwarves in bathing suits or wedding dresses for summer, and while I don’t have it in me to design wedding attire right now I figured I could give Cashmere some beachy pin-up vibes. she is a tropical dwarf after all. part of her home cave system is sea caves and almost her entire family works at or around the sea.

first suit is her standard pool/beach wear. nothing fancy, maybe has an extra enchantment on it to keep everything in place so she doesn’t have to adjust and check things every 5 minutes. second and third are New Boot Goofin’: Now Featuring Weapons. another enchanted wave application and some ammonite fossil heels.
