It’s Quick, It’s Easy And It’s Free:  Pouring River Water In Your Socks

crying ideas

personally I don’t like crying (stresses me the f out) but I do love some kinds of crying.

the harsh screams and cries of someone finding a loved one dead or seeing them die. The raw sound of grief that the character just can’t hold back. 

The tears that come with no sound, the whumpee is in too much pain to hold them back. but at the same time is too numb for any actually sounds so all that comes out is the tears. 

the whumpee holds up the tough guy act for the entire whumpe session until the whumper leaves them alone. that’s when the tears come and they cry.

another good “tough guy” one is when the whumpee finally breaks in front of their team/team/family. which then brings on a very nice group hug.

character A shows up at B’s house in the middle of the night, bruised and soaking wet from the storm outside. B doesn’t even have time to ask what’s wrong before A just starts crying hard. B pulls A inside and they just hug for a while.

two friends on a battle field lean on each other and share a few tears for their fallen comrades.

and my personal fav, Character A finds B alive after being separated during whatever whump/trauma scene. just the tears of happiness that come pouring out as they embrace each other. (I like using this one for scenarios like “big sibling finds younger sibling” or parental figure finds child”)

Question about krita? How do you animate on it? I really wanna get into animation but I'm not really sure where to start 😔

I’m not very good at explaining things but the first time I use Krita, I watched this video for guidance(It is pretty good) but if you need more help, there are other tutorials on Youtube that you could watch too.

everybody is so bored while stuck inside bc of covid-19 that i just got an ff.net alert that a fic from 2009 i was following updated with a new chapter for the first time in FIVE YEARS

Yo you got any tips on how to pick out good color schemes and stuff? Youre really good at it, i swear looking at anything you post i just "ooh soft,, pretty colors" (if not thats chill, somethings ya just just can't explain)

Imma make ya a lil tutorial ;)

Picking colours has a lot to do with ~Colour Relativity~ also known as Value.

It doesn’t matter what colours you end up picking, you’ll need to start with this kind of balance. Use the KISS method; Keep It Super Simple. Too many colours can make your image muddy and/or confusing. 

How to pick an awesome palette? Take a look at this cool shit.

Colour families can give your image a sense of unity. They’re also really handy for setting different moods. Warm colours are usually associated with high energy, big feelings like happiness and love! Cool colours are more subdued and carry heavier, slower connotations like sadness. Or just a KICK ASS AESTHETIC pic.

Bold colours are very fun to use but too many of them can hurt.

TL;DR:

Have dark, light, and midtones in your palette

Pick a colour & use colours similar to it

Limit your use of hyper-saturated colours.
