I do everything so if you want something specific, send pics and I'll make something just like it. Reach out via DMs or email: quinn.chavezz@gmail.com
Speaking up and educating people on why the most hated life forms on the planet are important and meaningful is a thankless task.
How do we reach out and get people to care about insects and spiders when the average reaction is either "EEWW KILL IT WITH FIRE" or blind panic?
Arthropods are crucial to the survival of life as we know it. Yes, even commonly vilified bugs like wasps and mosquitoes have ecological niches that the world CANNOT do without.
I cannot overstate their importance.
Literally saw someone on an unrelated post complaining about me for doing this and outright claiming I "don't think we should kill PARASITES" because I guess they think all parasites affect humans. I have literally posted about how to avoid parasites or rid them from your body, and the effective ways to kill fleas and ticks in your house. But every time I try to explain that all of those organisms have a greater more important impact on the rest of the planet and have to continue existing in the wild, how most of them aren't even adapted in a way that could ever harm a human, and how they don't deserve needless suffering for the way they simply involved, some basket case flips their shit and thinks I want them to get lyme disease. People who can't be bothered to understand their own world are completely incapable of separating simple logic from primitive squeamishness and believe everything in nature is out to get them personally.

you HAVE to tell me how you get that beautiful texture in your art
hee hee it depends! but mostly I put it through a bunch of photoshop filters. here I will show you
so my favorite things is Filter Gallery, Noise, and lastly Pixelate. if you do these things then I suggest duplicating the art BEFORE you put the filters ok?
also also make sure to set your two colors (switch between them by pressing X) to some nice colors that you want to put as a filter over your image, with the darker shade in front of the lighter one- kind of like in the image. ok. ok now go into Filter Gallery (I pointed at it earlier)
I like the halftone filter so I use this one a lot yesss!!!! if your version is blurry and weird then turn the contrast all the way up trust me buddy.
ok NOW go to filters > pixelate > crystallize and set the cell size to 3
I like it because it adds some extra irregularity without pixelating the Main image, so the color is weird but you can still see the crisp detail. yeah!
change layer blend mode to whatever you like (today I choose Soft Light)
ok I added a light noise filter and DONE! that's a basic texture for you :^) honestly photoshop has a crazy amount of stuff that helps you add crunchy texture to your art. but oh gosh photoshop is so expensive... don't worry! it's actually free
It kind of sucks but I love the minecraft modpack Tenebrous Lands. all the mobs are scuffed as hell and make playing survival worse but I love them dearly.
Crazy how many people want characters in fiction to speak and act like theyโve had 20 hours of intensive therapy. Could NOT be me I want these bitches fucked up insane
