News - Today (Feb 3rd, 2023) the Japanese live-action Whisper of the Heart will be screening in select areas of New York and Los Angeles. This “sequel” to the original story takes place 10 years in the future, following now 24-year-old Shizuku as she’s given up her dream of being a novelist to become a children’s book editor as Seiji still follows his dream abroad. 

If you’re not able to see the film on the big screen, it will be available on demand June 20, 2023.

Text reads: “In the beginning the bot accounts were spaced apart 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. In 4 days we could be seeing a bot every 8 hours until they are coming every 4 minutes. We should witness a double event within seven days.”]

I’ve reached one every 4 hours

Me from now on each time I report and block a bot:

i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

“red and green are opposites 🥰” cool now how do i paint a tree with pinks and blues without it looking like a child’s finger painting or incongruous blobs of rainbow vomit

ok i can’t explain it very well but im looking for tips and techniques for rendering art like

with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing

is it too much to ask

gonna drop some sources I have saved on Pinterest! I don't know if these all link back to the original sources so apologies for that

cohesive but still contrasting

This kind of talks about color and composition

This is a bit about landscape specifically

Values & composition

Contrast in composition

Balance in colors & values

This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones

Cohesion within compositions/lighting

"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!

This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!

Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process

With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)

thanks this is super helpful! /gen

i literally can’t listen to tik tok by kesha without thinking about that goddamn star trek tos fanvid…you know the one

this fucking video

Congrats to the creator of this video for being the only funny person on the internet ever

And now you know what perfection looks like

Best part:

‘That Kesha tweet was probably faked …’ *checks* ‘… HUH.’

(Here’s a link to the tweet in question.)

The euphoria of receiving a legit new follower during the Great Tumblr Pornbot Siege of 2022/2023

I stand over the newcomer with a spear to their throat, voice gruff and weathered from the siege.

“I cut down my foes.”

They take off their hood and then I see... an anime face.

“And do you cut down friends?”

Happy 20th birthday to the one and only Trogdor the Burninator

These are suggested for serving to recovering alcoholics, but I think they’re just fun and cool anyway? I like a fancy beverage, it doesn’t have to have booze. That cucumber Collins sounds refreshing AF

constant drive to talk about my ocs but also the eternal issue of not being able to articulate my thoughts properly so just imagine that i am grabbing you like this. there are things in my mind but they are not escaping
