    Watercolor Art

    Same! A lot of times I'm not really looking for a really vibrant color, and there are several colors that really benefit from being mixed. When I want a really vibrant red, for one, I tend to mix my vermillion with some burnt umber and yellow, if not add in alizarin crimson hue as well-- that's...

    I don't usually sketch digitally tbh, but I do the usual thumbnails, usually with some bigger close-ups for details I don't want to miss. Since I usually do character art, usually it means certain expressions to convey certain moods and light sources etc. For these, I essentially used 2 core...

    art of [insert all of my writing projects]

    Mostly some practice and having had drawn some chrysanthemums digitally before :blob_okay: And also some layering? At the very start I had a very faint layer of where I think the petals would be. It's like this faint greyish pink, almost white. Only after that did I add the pink petals, since I...

    Practicing flowers by drawing Yan Xu, MC of the story I'll probably never write because I'm not masochistic enough to think about "how to reasonably pull a country together from being torn asunder by civil war between princes why did I come up with the plot after reading about the War of the...

    Watercolor Art

    You're doing a great job so far! I like the tiny bit of granulation! Honestly, I think especially with darker colors having a mix can feel nicer than just having it flat, because sometimes some of that color shines through when you have different levels of opacity. In Luca's lower robes, I can...

    Watercolor Art

    Looks lovely! I really like the most recent two; lovely bamboos, by the way. For the ones from August 2020, I noticed that you were already using cool and warm gradient in the rocks-- it looks really nice. My only comment would be, you should definitely try dip into more daring shadows and...

    Finally burned out

    Do what you need to do. Not everything needs to be something you must finish, especially if you know you'll be better off cutting ties. If you are writing for the satisfaction, then let it be that way: if it doesn't serve you anymore, you should allow yourself to break it off. Not everything...

    Dress-up Games survey

    When you said "dress-up games", I legit thought you were referring to the Flash games type. Then I saw you mention Gaia Online and just went "...Ah, shit." (I tried getting back to Gaia in 2019 because I really really missed avatar-based forums. I have NO idea what the heck is going on there...

    Is It Problematic Using Modern Names For Ancient Sites?

    I don't see why you should have to scrap the historical names of places you can find just because of the places you can't. History gets lost to time, this is a fact we can't really do much about; accepting that we won't ever know the original/time-period names of some things is the first step to...

    Art Gallery

    It'd be a real neat feature, though I wonder how much load it'd add to the server (I know nothing about this and how it'd affect things; don't take this as a question from a knowledgeable party). I reckon too many pictures wouldn't be a good idea, but a small space enough for past covers would...

    [Event] Boys Love Short Story Anthology: "The Spring is In the Air!"

    Oh, same :blob_highfive: :sweating_profusely: I'm barely catching up with my own chapters, despite the leisurely weekly schedule LOL Between editing 6 chapters of danmei translation a week, art, real life and depression, the reason why I'm doing this one story is because I get to write about a...

    Entered book 2 of For February's Rain a couple of weeks ago, so it's as good an occasion as any to draw myself a new cover. To my greatest of surprises, the MVP of this one was gouache... I had some trouble with the granulating properties of Cobalt Blue Hue, which I had hoped would lie flat and...

    [Event] Boys Love Short Story Anthology: "The Spring is In the Air!"

    It's all right, right, to have overt romantic overtones but the fact that they never got around to getting together is part of the tragedy...? It's not "no homo" friendship; everyone kind of knew they were extremely close and edging on romantic, but they took their feelings and relationship for...
