This is beautiful
if you’re a (mostly) bald cartoon dude you have to wear this color scheme
#you forgot aang (michymouses28)
FUCK ur right
what is this weird trope..the color coded bald dude cult
IT’S HAPPENING
IT GOT BETTER
Just realized
Actually, there’s a reason for this. The human brain interprets round shapes as friendly, and the color yellow is associated with happiness and energy. So this design basically reads, “I’m a happy friend!” Its basically the most non threatening design you can have, which makes sense, even for Krillin and Saitama.
there’s not enough round or yellow in this world to convey eddie as non threatening
also while im waiting for my tea to steep, since im petty, and they cant fire me any more than they already have i can tell you about the Button That Makes You Lie To People because i CANNOT stop thinking about it and its driving me fucking nuts
i worked at a fancy gourmet coffee shop, but not everyone who came in knew that or cared, so we’d occasionally get ppl who got all their coffee knowledge from starbuckses. starbuckae? starbukakke
anyway sbux has this thing where they’re literally just wrong about what they call some drinks. for example, a cappuccino is traditionally a double shot of espresso with milk foam, like a few sips of drink, but at starbucks the smallest possible “cappuccino” is 8oz and espresso with that much milk? is really just a bastard latte.
but to explain that to someone who doesnt know better takes time, and there a line forming, and a latte… is close enough to what someone who thinks of a cappuccino as a 16oz drink is expecting. so if someone asked for a “large cappuccino” we were instructed to go “okay :)”, plug in a large latte, and then, before they could see, scroll down to the secret buttons, the forbidden buttons, the deceit buttons, and press the one called “cappuccino”, in “quotes”, which would not only put a cappuccino on their receipt, but would send a message to the barista, across the room, who would then make a latte, see the pink “cappuccino” indicator, and go
“large cappuccino? :)”
and i just, like, that’s just, i love how, food is made up and not real
I like haunted houses in theory BUT I have no idea how to react when the actors speak to you. They ask me a question and I just… answer it…
The scariest part of a haunted house is the unscripted social interaction.
Scary nurse in a creepy voice: “Do you have an appointment to see the doctor?”
Me: “Uh. Do you accept walk-ins?”
Scary farmer: “I like to kill people!”
My friend, brightly: “I like to die!”
Zombie : “AARRRGH”
Me : “Do you get dental insurance?”
Zombie : “TEETH!!”
This happened to me.
Scary prison dude: HELLO
Me: Nice to meet you!
Him: (pause) No it’s noooooot
My worst horror house experience was when I couldn’t find the (rather obvious) exit and the guy chasing me with a chainsaw stopped, sighed and pointed me to the exit, saying “please scream as loud as you can when you run out there” and just left. I disappointed the horror house chainsaw dude and I will never get over that
Guy: They are all my friends.. (motioning to hanging corpses; then grabs a noose) Will you be my friend?
Me: Sure totally, you made me a friendship necklace? Oh my god your so sweet?
Guy: … Yes.. Please, let me.. I cant I cant just go (laughing).
– Got to walk a second time through–
Same guy: My friends -wailing-
Me: I came back I just really wanted to be friends so bad
Guy: (laughing more) Please, Im not allowed to laugh.
I went to a Haunted House and literally befriended every actor there.
Specifically, I remember;
There were zombies walking around in the waiting room. I said “Hi!” and he gave me a high five. Every time he passed from then on, I got a high five.
Near the end, there were these twin little girls. “Come play with us.” They said. “Okay!” I said. “Forever.” They said. “Oh, sorry, can’t do that. I’m busy.”
I could hear them giggling.
Guy playing Freddie Kruger: Remember, you are all my children!
Me: thanks dad
A small chorus of teenagers: thanks dad
I went to a haunted corn maze once. Someone ran at me with a chainsaw. I just stared at him. He hung his head and walked away. I left.
The Real Horror Is The People We Dissapointed Along The Way
IM CRYING
I had this - haunted house lady swung round the door, came up to my face and said something along the lines of “your skin looks perfect for wearing!” and I blurted out “thanks you too”
I bet she was more scared than you
There appear to be 2 exits but I know one of them is wrong so I kind of stand there puzzling for a moment before turning to the ghoul creeping up behind me (that my friends didn’t know was there) and asking which way to go. He sighed before pointing to the left.
I once had a vampire say “you look delicious…” and I blanked and said “I’m about as healthy as a cheeseburger, spare me”
I was a wimpy as frick child that somehow got dragged into a haunted house at cedar point during their Halloweekends. I was screaming and crying so loudly nonstop that one of the ghouls asked “is she okay?”. My dad told him “she’s fine” and strangely enough I stopped wailing and went to whimpering instead.
In that same haunted house, there was a fake medical room with a guy cut in half on an operating table (not a prop but an actor) and to try and cheer me up my dad pointed at the scary doctor next to the table and said
This is made funnier by
A. My dad being a doctor
B. The trip being sponsored by a drug company back when that was legal and so we had come with a bunch of medical staff.
C.
The haunted house was a fake university called Undertaker U.
I did eventually get to redeem myself by going in a second time when I was a high schooler prior to the ride shutting down. I don’t tend to go in haunted houses though because I just up friendly greeting the entire staff in a terrified manner.
Shit my wife has said while playing Skyrim
- Everything is dragons. Shit.
- I’m sorry, I needed a tusk to impress a girl. And on the list of the top three things I’ve done to impress girls, that’s like the least embarrassing.
- (Brutally kills a wolf) FEMINISM!
- Boy Howdy, look at this ancient circle. It’s where they used to have… uh. Lemonade stands.
- (To Uthgred the Unbroken) Holy shit woman, kiss me in the river. It’s romantic, right? There’s the moon, we’re up to our wieners in water. We’re talking about Todd Howard, which gets every woman hot.
- Who are you? Are you a very offensive allegory for the Romani people?
- We’ll settle down, adopt that orphan child and raise her to be her own punchy lesbian.
- (Sing-songing) shot ‘im in the dick, shot ‘im in the dick, shot ‘im in the dick
- If my Uncle Tim right now was raising mammoths for mammoth cheese? That’d be fucking rad. A hell of a lot better than the meth he used to do.
- I’m already having a weird day. I just killed a bunch of vegans in that tower and I’m feeling really bad about it.
- I don’t have time for this shit. I gotta go up this big goddamn mountain. Another one. Goddamn Nords living on their Goddamn Rocks. Get. On. Our. Level.
- (In a fake British accent) I’ve got the buffest legs in all the realm, m’lord!
- (Staring at a tower on a rock in the middle of a lake) I swear on my niblets, if that’s the fucking place I have to go, I’m killing every last person in this Chili’s tonight.

Hey, if im not bothering, could i ask how you started drawing and coloring the way you do digitally? Because i started drawing digitally recently and i want to eventually get to the point that my drawings look smooth and semi-realistic and i thought I'd ask because i thought you might know (and i love your art...)

Oh fam I don’t know if I can pinpoint for you how I started developing this style. I just knew from, like, high school on that color was the most important thing for me. I have like, an influence map that helps me narrow down the specific things I like to draw, and things I’m working on.
I can tell you I learned my color theory from these tutorials, specifically this one on ‘Beauty Spots” Ive obviously devolved into a mess of rainbow coloring that follows no real principles, but I do take advantage of the Curve function and the Levels Function a lot for finding things that look good.
As for how I got this look? Im not 100% sure because you can look at my stuff from a year ago and see that its not like, the same. BUT I will tell you that I limited myself with WHAT I USE to paint with, and perfected basically these three brushes. Hard Brush (to apply color), a Rough or Wet Smudge (in CSP ‘Running color on Fiber’ is good, in Photoshop I use Kyle Webster’s ‘Kyle’s Paintbox- Wet Blender’) and occasionally an airbrush if I want to soften an edge or add light or a certain hue like to skin. Usually if I make a mistake while painting I smudge it out until its smooth or ill make a layer above and paint the correction and merge down)
Now that I have this routine fused into my soul, I explore a little more with different brushes, but the process remains the same.
Uh, theres no other way to explain without showing you so more below the cut
My style is basically:
- Sketch Layer on Top (That Will Eventually Be Merged Down)
- Lineart Layer (If I Feel Like One and Will Definitely Be Merged Down)
- Color Layer
- and occasionally a multiply/overlay/screen layer (for color correcting, that gets merged down)
I make a lot of copies as I go in case I need to fix a mistake or like I colored everything wrong, but essentially I Pick and Choose my colors from the Color Layer, and nothing else. My shadows? You can find somewhere in the base gradient or a desaturated version of it. Highlights too. My style is: Use a smudge tool and paint with the smudge tool and a hard brush.
1. Sketch (and like, a base gradient)
Sketch is at the top, color gradient on bottom. Then I use the color underneath to color my boy. I know his skin is grayish brown, so I choose one of those colors and with the opacity on the brush like at 40 or 50 (or if you have a brush that’s pressure sensitive with opacity you dont have to fiddle with it) I let the Blue and green bleed through.
My boy’s hair is white, but its best to avoid Pure White and Pure Black when you’re painting (especially when youre throwing down a base color) So I chose a light light tint of the green. Here’s the base green from the gradient below:
as compared to his hair green
and later, to make it more white or if I plan on doing dappled lighting, etc, I can use SUPER CLOSE BUT NOT ACTUALLY WHITE WHITE to highlight his hair.
Not gonna lie though, a lot of this is just. Practice and studying color. and learning how light works in conjunction with form and color (two principles of art) and I’m not the best artist out there. A lot of what I do is UNREALISTIC. But its the way I do it, and im working on it??
its about building up from the bottom. This below is about thirty minutes of painting after I had the base colors slapped down. I dragged part of his pink in and painted it over the blue in his hair, and then picked from the purple it made and started adding it around. I’m probably not the best at explaining but.
I hope this helps?
