Oh to be a round little frog on a mushroom cake
A Twitter thread of mine that I think some of you may find useful here as well! I’ll update this periodically when I update the Twitter thread.
Cowboys are witches and horses are their familiars
guns are their wands and they only know one spell (bullet)
Rootin’, tootin’, toil n’ shootin’
Fire burn and cowboy bootin’
Eye of newt and spicy beans,
Toe of frog and denim jeans,
Whiskey, grits, n’ demon spittle
tossed into my iron griddle
With the tannin’ of our hides,
Somethin’ wicked this way rides
Not that anyone asked for this but
everyone asked for it they just didn’t know they did
One of my biggest desires is to have Shark Villagers in Animal Crossing!
But since no one recognizes the cuteness of sharks, I decided to create my own villagers! Edit: Nurse just won a little pup!

Woke up at 2am and couldn’t fall back asleep so I made a tutorial on the Photoshop techniques I use most frequently. Starting with the sketch:
- adjustment layers: specifically the hue/saturation slider in this case, allows you to color correct quickly
- lasso tool: for sharp edges!
- alpha lock: useful for painting within a pre-defined area (especially useful when painting characters)
- x (hotkey) : toggle between foreground + background colors- let’s you easily blend between 2 colors
- ctrl/cmd click : quickly change current active layer. Especially useful if you’re burdened with too many layers (or just very disorganized)
- clipping mask: similar to alpha lock, but can add details without changing/ painting directly on the previous layer. I often use them to test out + apply gradients.
- layer styles: I didn’t use any in this image, but the possibilities for layer styles endless, from simply adding a quick outline (useful for die cut demarcations when making stickers!) to creating more seemingly complex appearances. Here’s a gif of Nick Carver using layer styles (a combo of drop shadows + inner shadows) to quickly make the illusion of snow but with simple strokes.
ending on this:

You see all these articles that borzoi are among the dumbest dog breeds, but that just isn’t true. This is cunning and resourcefulness at its finest. When there isn’t a dog bed, you make a dog a bed. Dog bed.
