Mitsuki Or Full Moon Sketch

Animation tips

Forgot I had these! These are redlines I did for Mathieu Hains (who animated the beautiful color segment). This was from his first blocking pass

Was a very good lesson in "why turnarounds and expression sheets are important" and "your boards will not always be interpreted by an animator the way you see it in your head"! All Mathieu had to go off of was my boards and the original character sheets (VERY limited reference haha) but he's also a great artist so he created a very solid foundation and my redlines were just to help guide the drawings to what I imagined

Agreed

So the only reason Gabriel made Marinette break up with Adrien is bc he knew he’d get good akuma bait. Ok fuck you. Thanks for the Marichat but still.

Fuck.

You.

The amount of ass Gabriel was to Adrien in this episode is just-

-Beating the ever loving shit out of him without an ounce of remorse

-No sympathy whatsoever after finding out he’s CN

-Uses his loving relationship to target his girlfriend (the amount of awful in this action specifically is just-I can’t even begin to-)

THEY WERE HAPPY GODDAMNIT

AND GORILLA NEEDS TO CALL CPS BC I KNOW NATALIE SURE AS HELL WON’T

What's your opinion on writing from multiple perspectives? Like, one chapter would be from Bob's POV, and then the next from Shirley's, ect. Do you have any tips for this?

I love multiple POV stories! I really like when authors explore multiple characters and really give the readers a chance to take in the story from many perspectives.

Multiple POV stories work best when:

You have many plots. The more complex the story, the more information you need to feed the reader for the story to work. Sometimes it’s just not possible to get all that information through a single protagonist. Many protagonists, however, are better suited to learning all that information. Many protagonists - especially if they aren’t working together - are also better at screwing up plans and creating chaos. 

The plot is character-based. A character-based plot means the story deals more with internal struggles than external struggles. If your plot is character based, you really want to show the reader what all the major characters are feeling. Again, a single protagonist probably isn’t privy to everyone’s emotions.

Tips:

Your POV characters don’t need equal time. And when I say equal time, I mean in chapter time or wordcount time. Devote time to the most important characters and most important situations. Do as the plot demands, not as the character demands.

Don’t double up scenes. One of my least favorite moments in multiple POV stories is when the author covers an event with one POV character, then goes back to the beginning of the event to cover it again with another character. If you want another character’s perspective, let them remember parts of the event or revisit as little of the even as you possibly can.

Work on voice. You want to keep those characters as distinct as possible. They are different people, after all. I have a voice tag here to get you started.

Divide the POVs. Not with that awful fanfiction.net **KATNISS’ POV** paragraph starter. Divide POVs by chapter or put a little divider thingy in between POVs if you’re switching in the middle of a chapter. 

Keep track of information. Your POV characters will not know the same things because they live different lives and will be exposed to different situations. If your POV character suddenly knows something they shouldn’t, you’ll have a plot hole.

Try to avoid one-shot POVs. One-shot POVs are when a character gets one POV chapter, then no others. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it feels strange to hear from a character once and then no other times. 

The plots should interact. Even if the POV characters never meet, their plots should have a common element: for example, a common struggle, a common character, or a common theme. This prevents the story from becoming a collection of badly patched short stories.

I wanted to try something different from my usually palette of Melancholic blues.

I'm saving this for when I decided to move to the next step and try to mimic Lore Rekindle/Lore Olympus art

Also am I the only one who thinks of the word Tasty and delicious when seeing Lore Rekindled art work

a gouache test !

made this mostly with the Flat 1 Texture brush from Maddy Bellwoar's Gouache Brushes pack! It's got some pretty fun textures in there as well as some nice foliage stamps and brushes, highly recommend! (and thanks to @ephemeral-roses for recommending it to me!)

😁, I Really love things like this. I think I might do the same for my Farmer

Random headcanon for my farmer:

She has two very different styles,

A soil soaked, workin’ 9 till 5 (more like 7 till 12), been in the mines all day, happy I’m still breathing farming style

And her usual wear which is more lady like, all sundresses and hair loose, wearing her glasses instead of contacts.

Thing is, because of the glassen and the overal difference in styles, the people don’t realise it’s the same woman, creating a superman & Clark Kent situation

I think it’s especially funny in a romantic scenario, just imagine one of the bachelors being curious who this mystery woman is that’s seated at the bar, they have definitely never seen her before

This is REALLY cute, I saw this on X, I find this concept really adorable

Beautiful, I wonder...
