This is good! I’ve just not been very active and I’m sorry about that you guys. I didn’t want to post any spoilers about Monster Hunter World so I never really posted anything on here. Now that I the PC release has come out I want to know if now would be a good time to share video or not?
I want to know what you guys want to see. Like any specific request from unfortunate-hunter: Baroqua. Other wise I can share some random clips of my Monster Hunter World adventures?
WE CAUGHT A GIN!!!!
I thought the use of gin traps was outlawed
As a matter of fact, they were for the real Gin, but for my little gurl in Monster Hunter World. Now she’s very good at setting up shock traps and flashbug traps so… I guess this is what happened? ou o;
Check out @unfortunate-hunter for more about our Monster Hunter adventures!
That’s right guys, incase you didn’t know.. I actually have been playing Monster Hunter World and I’m sorry I didn’t say anything about this sooner but my other blog with my little gurl has been getting some hype.
I hope you guys’ll enjoy some of the shenanigans and possibly streaming of Monster Hunter World with those of you who have it for PS4 of course feel free to hit me up in my inbox and we can exchange info and start hunting together!
As For @gin-chan-nyao you can check that out if you like it’s just a blog dedicated to photos and videos of my real life little gurl. I hope to see you guys around!!!
welcome to the world of Monster Hunter
About MHWorld Spoilers
{{ Hey friends, what with MHW’s soon release on PS4 and a few messages I’ve got from various people, I want to let you know that from now on I don’t want to be sent nor even see spoilers/news/leaks. Even the news you think would please me or that everyone should know: I don’t want to see them, partly because I’m among the ones who will play the game on PC in a long time (not before Autumn 2018 apparently) and yeah… it is not cool to be spoiled on such a good game -n-
Don’t send me spoilers. If you post/reblog some to your blog, don’t be surprised if I unfollow you, as well (don’t take it personally though!).
Apologies for the salt, but I appreciate your understanding UwU hope you’re having a great day! }}
I would never put in story things from MHWorld, but I might draw armor from the series. If I did I would tag it appropriately, at least I would do my best to. I’m playing it on PS4 and wanted to stream the game as well again not story just play along with my crew and do stupid shit in the game. I would probably use tags along the lines of these. #MHWORLD SPOILERS, #MHW Spoilers, #mhw spoilers #MHW ARMOR Hastags can also be added to a blocking list so you don’t see spoilers. I just learned about this so I’m spreading the news around to other who may or may not know about this feature yet.
I was tagged by @ask-white-fatalis (Voluntarily by me, btw don’t be shy to actually tag me in things I swear I won’t bite!) (( P.S. I like to do this sort of thing, so this will be lengthy! -- Read at your own risk?))

Winners will be chosen via this site on January 23rd, and contacted shortly afterwards. Thank you all so very much for the love, support, and fun times over the years!
HOLY PRINGLES ARIIII!!!!!! CONGRATS GURL YOU DESERVE IT!!!! ✨ 💖 💖 💖✨
We all have that bad luck friend who never gets good loot.
Oh my stars your art is amazing!!! Do you think maybe you can make a shading tutorial sheet? owo
Hey there Anon! Sure thing! I’ll do my best to explain the process of how I usually do things in regards to coloring and shading. I’m not the greatest at Explaining, so I’ll do my best to keep things as crystal clear as possible!
Step 1: LineartI’ll start with Lineart purely because this step is important to the coloring process in one regard, and that is making sure the entire line layer is closed without any holes. Even the smallest little gap will make the selection process hard later, and we don’t want that. So the cleaner lineart you have, the better. I’m going to go ahead and use my Monster Hunter Generations Huntress for this.
Step 2: SelectionEither in Photoshop or SAI or whatever you use, click outside your character and any other negative space surrounding them. This means…basically anything that’s not your character. Then go to Selection > Inverse and invert the selection. You should have something similar to what I have below. This makes it so much easier to add colors without having to worry about all the little nooks and crannies that could mess the cleanliness of the drawing up real bad.
Step 3: Flat BaseCreate a new layer beneath your line layer with the selection still active. This will be our color layer. Remove the visibility of the line layer, and fill the remaining “Silhouette” with a dark base color. This makes those nasty corners look a bit cleaner, as sometimes if there is a lighter color your computer will want to make them stand out pixelated. Again, this is just for cleanliness beneath the line layer. Turn your line layer back on, as they will now act as barriers for the fill bucket tool. Make sure the entire silhouette is filled, and that no lines were accidentally selected! You want a see a completely filled and flat color if you turn the line layer off.
Step 4: Flat ColorsAt this point you can lock the transparency of your Color Layer, and go ham. Either with the pen or a fill bucket, figure out how you want to color your character and add in the flat colors. Notice I’m on the same layer as the Base that we made. This is so those lines still play nicely with one another. Clean up where necessary.
Step 5: Analogous Color GradientWell, we don’t really want our character to be too flat, do we? This is where the color wheel becomes your best friend. Select similar colors with the Magic Wand (like I’ve done her skin tone here) and using the color wheel, choose an analogous (that means “close by” in color wheel terms) color to add a bit of depth to the color. For skin, I usually go with a red or a bronze, sometimes purple. Use the airbrush for this. Then, deselect and select another color to gradient, until all the colors have some degree of new color to them.
See? Now things look interesting! We added some blue to the greens, some purples to the reds, some blues to the grays and so on and so forth.
Step 6: ShadingOkay, here’s where things get interesting. Time to shade. Make a new layer between the Line Layer and Color Layer, and make sure you make it a clipping group/clipping mask. This is so it won’t go anywhere that you don’t have color. Set it to multiply or linear burn (whichever you think looks best) and bump the opacity down to about 40-50%. Choose a color that you want the shadows to be; I like deep pinks and purples. I first use the Pen tool to get down “hard” shadows - shadows cast by hard materials, close shadows, and inorganic materials. Once I’ve got those down, I head on over to the softer areas, such as the skin, hair and cloth and alternate between the watercolor and marker tools to give “softer” shadows. There’s no real law to this, you just have to know where shadows fall and how they behave and work with those three tools to get the look you want.
Step 7: “Highlights” - Rim Lighting Okay, these aren’t really “highlights” in the correct sense, but adding sort of “rim lighting” around forms really helps make a picture pop. To do this, make another layer above the shading layer, set it to “screen” and keep the opacity at 100%. Then, get really familiar with your CRTL key because you’re going to be color sourcing a lot. To add a rim light to a form, select the base color of that form, and use the marker to trace along the edges. For example, I picked up the nude from the skin, the silver from the dagger, the gold and maroon from the hair and the tawny brown from the skull to use on those specific objects. Any place you want clean works well, but the edges of forms works best for this technique. Additionally, if you’d like, you can create another layer above the Screen Layer and set it to Linear Dogde, and do my “glowing eyes” technique on anything you want to stand out, such as the metal of the belt, gold objects and of course, eyes.
Step 8: The OverlayAlmost done! While your photo can now stand alone as “finished”, there’s one more thing that I enjoy doing, and that’s adding a simple color overlay to bring the whole picture together. This is done by flattening all the layers you have so far (you’ll want to “Merge Down” in order from bottom to top or “Flatten” to avoid the layers going crazy on each other) into one layer. Then, make a layer on top of that one, set it to a clipping mask, and set it to “overlay”. With the Airbrush, choose some colors (I prefer soft pinks, blues and violets) and go along the “edges” of your character with a BIIIIIG brush. This kind of resembles soft ambient lighting or shadows. I just think it makes the photo look nicer.
TA-DA! And Now we’re done!
And there we go! I hope that helped, and I also apologize cause this ask sat in my box for awhile and I never got around to it until now. :PI’d be happy to answer any questions y’all have, but this is the simple basics! Remember to practice practice PRACTICE! -Gael
