it is sadder and darker ALFKJ even the color palette is sadder and darker HAHA

I use adblock on every site except youtube and streaming services bc yeah the ad revenue..
except I pay for cr so no ads there haha
and I usually watch ads on funimation but Im blocking them now bc I cant sync with my friend otherwise ALDKFJL LISTEN if the world could just come up with a better service for syncing shows online, I'd use it

@xvz: ohh I see, hmm.. I need to find the size pressure brush in CSP, I don't think I've ever used it before do you use any of the like.. blur/blend tools? I feel so lost with the tools theres so many ADLKFJ on paper I just use 1-3 brushes with different sizes HAHA

yeah! I'm always very impressed by people's photo editing skills before I never realized how much of the photo was edited, bc they make it look so natural? I think the editing is a big part of a photographer's style
like I was looking at my friend's photos one time and was REALLY impressed by the color of the water in the photo? I was like WOW I WANNA GO THERE bc the water was a really nice teal color, but turns out it was editing ADLFKJD but I was so convinced ok
why can't real life look this good

ALKFDJ mood
sometimes it's not better or worse but just different! haha

haha I think the general fandom says fmab is better.. but I think ppl forget how good the original was when brotherhood didnt exist yet ALDFKJDF
standing alone, they're both very good! but different. fma is sadder and more of a small, introspective story. fmab is a big adventure with a happy ending

personally I like brotherhood more overall bc of the payoff at the end. these characters have been through so much just let them have some happiness ok ADLKDJF
but I like the original's characterization of Lust better, and it spent more time on the beginning of the story, which made the nina, hughes, and yoki arcs better. also the soundtrack..... is gold...

yeah same funi is less generous with their catalog so I hope they don't change things LFKJDF if anything I hope they adopt cr's model

@xvz: yeahh ping me when ya post it
ohh I see, that makes it a lil less scary do you use an opaque brush for painting? or do you set the opacity lower or make it dependent on pen pressure? or is this something you change often during the process.. I feel like I zone out when I draw so I never change brush settings in the middle of it asflkj

I think it's ok to depend on post-processing! a lot of speedpaints I've seen, people do sooo much post-processing, I wanna learn their techniques haha.. I think it can also train your eye a bit, like sometimes its hard to tell if something looks off until you change it? I think it might help you see the values better next time
but yeah it's fun.. I enjoy it bc you can change so much in a short amount of time, so it's fun to play with and not as stressful

it depends on the friend group, one's weekly, one's monthly, and others are whenever ALDKFJ

haha I love Jojo sm… its hard to describe the appeal, its just very unique ALDKFJ its bold and stylish and is a fountain of meme content
thats what I love about fma tho.. its a series that grows with you. I think kids like it bc its action-adventure-y but the heavier themes you don't understand til you're older. haha I think I've only seen it in full 2 times.. I've seen the beginning many times bc I start a rewatch and then decide "well maybe I should watch something else" ADLKFJ

yep, crunchyroll shows are free (with ads)
you can pay for ad-free and to watch eps as soon as they come out (free users have to wait 1 week), it’s a nice model for free users
ahaha we were talking about this and then news dropped that funimation (sony??) acquired crunchyroll so WHELP ?? monopoly I guess

@xvz: I have a pretty set process for cel-shading, its what I default to when I dont wanna think haha
1. airbrush the flats
2. cel-shade with hard brush, one color, some kind of layer mode
3. airbrush the shading
4. blend out some of the hard edges
5. add extra things (highlights, details, etc)
during art fight I was experimenting with softer shading.. im not really sure what im doing ADLFKJ

for post-processing I usually airbrush some color and mess with layer modes
I used to be really into white layer —> add noise —> overlay haha

Id be interested in seeing your progress pics!! yeah that part of painting is really scary to me
do you always just keep going and going until it looks good? or are there times when youre like "ok its better to start over", and how do you know when to do that?
do you prefer the one-layer method or the multiple-layers you've been experimenting with?
crying.. MERGING SO SCARY... what if I want to unmerge
altho I guess that's what saving progress files is for hmm

Thank you!

@Mousy: neon lights for 6k?

@xvz: my process usually goes: really shitty sketch --> line art --> flats --> shading --> post-processing stuff
sometimes I have a sketch between the shitty sketch and the lineart but usually im too lazy ADLFKJ most of the variation is in the last two steps depending on what I decide to do haha
what's your process like? Im very interested in how you paint, will you tell me your secrets? do you do it on one layer?? do you paint over a sketch or do you color block? what are your brushes I really wanna use a discord emoji here but I can't.. Im dying.....

yeah it is nice most of my friends live far away so I've gotten used to having scheduled video chat times haha
oh no there's a lot.. I think notably Jojo's Part 5, which I was really excited for but now im sitting on it HAHA it's not even a serious show, honestly its so casual ADLJKJ
I also have a tendency to rewatch things I've already seen, also very low pressure... like do you know how many times I've seen FMA

too true.. I just need to be someone's crunchyroll friend and they can be my funimation friend. and then I also need an amazon friend and a netflix friend and a--
dying yeah im over here video chatting and depending on the group of friends its either on google, zoom, skype, or facebook ADLFKJ

yes all of my inboxes are almost at 0 ALDFKJ the only things I keep around are emails I'm currently replying to
@people who have like 1,349 unread emails - how... how do you do that
does the giant red number not drive you insane

E I'LL COMMENT ON YOUR PROFILE FIRST NEXT TIME ASLDFKJ

★
dang ya'll are fast ALDKFJ
and don't be so hard on yourselves!! if someone gave me an art that they spent time on to personally customize for me, it's the best and I would die... and I do, every time

★
@xvz: I've seen some of sinix and wlop's vids too! haha sometimes I wish the speedpaint vids werent so speedy bc Im always like "howd you do that?? I wanna try "

nah I know what you mean, if I didn't have this weekly thing with my friend I'd never watch any shows ALDKFJ I'm sitting on so many that I know I'll like but I wanna be in the right mood for it..
which is why I watch so much youtube, bc if I'm only half paying attention, I don't feel guilty or like im missing out ahaha

it's been crunchyroll so far but season 2 is only on funimation so gotta.. switch, except I dont have a sub so hnnNNNNN I don't mind watching ads but idk how that's gonna translate for syncing HAHA
when streaming companies split a show like this it hurts my soul

★
haha toyhouse is a rabbit hole... it's fun making profiles and adding to the galleries, and then if you get into it, you can code the profiles to make them look nice and add sub-galleries and playlists and moodboards and--

I don't have a lot of OCs but it's nice having it all in one space. I think mostly I just like looking at all the art, it's nice

★
I'm gonna move this here bc I dont wanna interrupt koneko's thread since it's back on topic ALDKFJ


so far I've watched Emily Artful and D'Angelo Wallace (altho I think he hasn't made art vids in a while ADLKFJ his old ones are gold tho) I also really like watching Danica Sills work, her watercolors are so pretty
sometimes I click on rando tutorial or speedpaint vids if they look interesting haha

I'm glad you're having fun with kaguya alskfj the nice thing about it is that it's a pretty casual watch, like there's no cliffhangers and it's easy to pick back up if you take a long hiatus, etc.
my friend and I are starting season 2 now
