                                                                Gradients

I almost for got to post these today, but here is a little pack of gradients I made a few weeks ago. They’re pretty simple. The PSD will not auto size to your image, you’ll have to fit it, but the gradients are built in so they should not pixelate. There are four colours in here, they’ll all come in black and white, but you can open the PSD files and turn that layer off to have them in colour!!

Like or reblog if you use!!

HALCYONRPH​ ADMIN PACK #1

This is a super simple resource pack for admins. The colours of all the graphics are changeable (so you can make them all the same colour or black and white if you want) and all the text is obviously editable, but I recommend leaving the background images as they are unless you’re willing to readjust the lighting and positioning of every one. A quick rundown of the PSDs included:
  • a promo graphic
  • an announcement graphic
  • two sides of a character graphic
  • an event graphic
  • a task graphic
Everything is sized for the dash, and the fonts used are Bebas Neue and Open Sans Extrabold. Please like or reblog this post if you plan on using these, and credit me somewhere if you end up making posts with them. Hit me up if you run into any problems!

Anonymous asked:

hi! i've noticed recently that i don't use figures of speech (metaphor, simile, etc) much and my writing style is relatively straightforward. i don't think it affects the effectiveness of my storytelling, but i do think it becomes plain to read. do you think this is a matter of my writing style or should i incorporate more figures of speech?

To simile or not to simile.

When deciding if you want to make use of a certain writing technique, always start by evaluating whether it benefits (or harms) the story you want to tell.

Metaphors and similes can be fantastic tools. But so can simply using the specific strong words you mean.

Describing a massive, lumbering figure as being like something that’s massive and lumbering will usually paint the same picture as flat out saying it’s massive and lumbering. (Just don’t describe your massive, lumbering figure as “big” because you’re now painting an entirely different picture, and one with far less impact).

There are certain situations were figures of speech provide a very beneficial extra bit of flavor you can’t get through strong words. Things like:

  • Witty comedies. Example, Douglas Adams, “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”
  • Characters with vastly (or even impossibly) different backgrounds than the reader. Example, the mer-like protag from my novel Pearl, “Her skin reminds me of the blotches of a flounder, patches of light on dark.” 
  • Times when a feeling or concept cannot be painted so emotionally any other way. Example, Margaret Atwood, “Time has not stood still. It has washed over me, washed me away, as if I’m nothing more than a woman of sand, left by a careless child too near the water.”
  • In dialogue. Though your narrator/narration might not include many figures of speech, they might still be a neutral part of some character’s voice.

Even if you don’t plan to use figures of speech (or any other writing technique) yet, learning to write with them will give you a new, very useful tool you can pull out if ever you need it. 

And once you know how to use vivid figures of speech in your writing and have tested them out, you can more accurately look at your work and decide it does exactly what you want it to without them.

°• MDBRD / AES OO1:  HONED TRUST BY QEOLA  ̖́-

i’m bringing u on this fine day my latest creation, aimed @ moodboards or aesthetic edits But not limited to it, since it can also b used as a character psd if u want to ? it’s rly Easy to edit since most of the work u have to do is use clipping mask to make your pictures fit the boxes ! i made a couple of examples so u could get an idea of the different ways u can work this, but the template itself comes Clean & with a few notes 2 help u through.

❛   ◜ GUIDELINES !   ›

you can edit it as much as you want, but Never claim it as your own no matter how much you’ve edited it, don’t redistribute, copy, steal or take credit for it !

❛   ◜ SPECIFICATIONS !   ›

DIMENSIONS are 850 x 900 ! if u want to add a dotted texture i recommend resizing it to 540px width before starting to edit it so it has tumblr’s measurements
PSD used is ( 37. nature by @remondpsds ), not included !
FONTS used are ( zefani stencil ) and ( roboto bold condensed ), not included ! to download the zefani one, click on the personal use download option
the total count of pictures needed is ( thirteen ) without counting the 2 optional backgrounds
if u don’t know how to use clipping mask, simply place ur picture above the layer you want to clip it to ( like this ), right click on the layer of ur picture & then click on “create clipping mask” ─── alternatively u can do the same, But instead of right click on the layer, jst select it and then press ‘alt+ctrl+g’ on windows, i dn’t kno the keys on mac sry :^(
SMALL NOTE ! u may have to play around with the settings of di bottom text since some psds make it look weird, but nothing major, jst tweak it around until u see it looks gud with the psd of ur choice ─── or simply make the color of the inner glow darker like i did w the 1st example ! what i did for the 2nd example was add drop shadow, color #000 in multiply w opacity 74 @ -90º, distance 2, spread 4 & size 5, no global light with the noise at 0% nd it worked somehow for me, u can try sumthing similar if u see it gets a bit hard 2 read it !
everything i thot some ppl May need help w & other little notations r on a note i left inside the psd, but if there’s smth else u need help with ? my inbox is open for u to ask, i’ll try my Best to help u
○ lastly, i hope u enjoy this as Much as i enjoyed making it <3 ur 200% free to send me ur final results, i’d love 2 see di works of art made w this beauty !

LIKES or REBLOGS would be appreciated if you found this helpful, are a rph blog or plan on using it sometime in the future !       (     DOWNLOAD LINK     )

CHARACTER PSD 03. DOWNLOAD LINK.

Another cpsd, this one is in three parts due to the height of the edit! The fonts used were Cocogoose regular and Lemon/Milk, and dimensions for the photos are included in the psd. Edits are welcome, I just ask that you don’t claim this as your own or redistribute. Credit, reblogs/likes, are all nice, but not required! Included in the post are two examples with some of my ocs that you can click to enlarge!
