Linear burn is actually my go-to as well. I compared it and multiply while working on a particular piece, and multiply just didn't cut it. With linear burn, I can get away with using a very light pale blue/purple for shading (or light red/orange for warm tones).

So, uh. The Tsarist assignment quests aren't the only things where the dialogue changes if you do them after the 7.2 AQ. Friend of mine found this during the Tabletop Troupe anecdote. I did it weeks ago, and I know he DEFINITELY didn't mention the Holy Soil bit.

Finally, someone who gets it. I'm a writer myself, and I've worked with material that's only been directly translated and the result is often lacking in poetry, flow, and/or personality. Translators provide the thread, writers weave it into something recognizable.
This. Real critique points out things that are done well in addition to pointing out the bad or what can be done better (Sandwich Method). And offering solutions for improvement. If you're just being mean or insulting without adding anything, you're just an ass.
Art is open to critique. However, how something is said matters just as much as what is being said. Wrapping critique in cruelty, hostility, and condescension, rather than respect, tact, and care, signals that the critic has no true substance behind their views.

For all the people who complain about how 'bad' modern voice acting is: take something that's unvoiced and either do to VA yourself or do the directing and put it out there. See how good your ear for voice acting is. Guaranteed that 90% really don't know quality VA.

Irks me a lot when people complain about NA voice acting being 'bad' and that they should just hire theater actors. Do they realize that a lot of voice actors are theater trained? And a lot of theater actors have to overact on stage so people can see/hear them.

Playing with some new (well, old) sketch-like drawing styles to mimic the look of colored pencils and paper, which was my favorite medium. The B&W and colored sketches are separate renders because I was trying and failing to do visible pencil strokes. Yeah, I did it twice. >_>

I feel a lot of people who complain about 'bad writing' do it because a storyline (or especially a ship) didn't go the way they wanted. You're not the writer. You have zero influence over the writing team/story, and trying to bully people who do just makes you look delusional.

Today is my 10th wedding anniversary! Relationships are hard, but I'm so grateful to have been able to share 10 wonderful years with a man that shares the same weirdness and nerdiness that I do, and we're always learning new things everyday. ❤️

Whenever I run TTRPG campaigns, friendly/rival adventurers or parties are common, and they've become a popular thing. Been debating doing something like accepting submissions for NPC adventurers for me to draw and possibly use in future games. Dunno if that'd be interesting. >.>

They're baaaaaack. We've actually developed a very good relationship with the house hippos in our household, but I still occasionally catch them stealing socks. >_>
The elusive Canadian house hippo is back! But is it real? 🦛
In recognition of Media Literacy Week (Oct. 26-30), your Toronto Zoo, the @TourCNTower and @MediaSmarts have teamed up to bring back a beloved Canadian icon with an important message and reminder to celebrate Media Literacy Week - a national event to promote digital media literacy which runs from October 26-30.

Another FEH style chibi for No1FandeGaulle! Can you guess who this stalwart gentleman is? Hint: he's French! (and no, he didn't actually ride a wyvern)

Been working on a few comms lately. Chibi sticker for @CaraCarouselVT! A slightly different angle than my usual. :>
I've done this! I borrowed the character of a friend I used to RP with (with their permission!), and their character became the bodyguard for one of my characters in a story.
Have you tried this? 👀
ALT Writing exercise: Bring over a character from another story (your own or another's). How do they get on with your characters?

Seeing the animation discourse pop up again, and it's pretty clear that people complaining that animation is/should be cheap don't know what goes into it or have never tried. I did years ago, and it's HARD and labor intensive, and animators get exploited/abused a lot.

Imagine being stuck on writing the ending of a thing for months/years. And then imagine going back to it after so long and suddenly writing is effortless, and you wonder why it took you so long to be inspired. Yeah...that's me. >_>

1 week left on this, so if you've ever been interested in getting one of these, now's the best time!
Heyo! So, since I'm in between TTRPG campaign seasons and my art queue is pretty much freed up, I'm open for comms, AND THEY'RE DISCOUNTED! :D
Only the little guys, tho. But they're cheap and fairly quick turnaround, and I'll be running the sale until the end of the month!

Whenever I see fan takes regarding story/writing lately (esp Genshin or Seven Havens), I have to scratch my head. Do you...not know how story arcs work? Or how suspense is built in writing? Do you HAVE to have everything explained IMMEDIATELY? Do have zero attention span?

@KeithDinoBoyVA WHY DO I HAVE SO MUCH SHIROU DAY STUFF ON MY TIMELINE?! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! D:<
