hello reddit refugees.
I should note a different Missouri near total adult ban was also taken out
So if you're reading about these bans, and you're scared where you live or that you can't travel/move to different parts of America, remember these bans are legal nonsense and failing in court over and over and over again
stop saying "gen z brought back bush-era purity politics" i grew up in the bush era and even then people weren't saying that you're a sex addict for having boring marital sexual congress in the same house as your children. this is just plain unhinged
Literally almost every millennial I know has a memory of accidentally walking in on their parents or hearing their parents having sex. It's fucking normal. Human beings have sex. Your parents fuck. Get over it. Being weird about it isn't healthy.
I really loved Robert Evans’s response to this
"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
The group chat has decided that since I've only had one sexual relationship and it wasn't a very good one and I've since transitioned, changed my legal name, undergone hormone therapy and now had bottom surgery, that I have ship of theseus'ed my way back to being a virgin
I'm having the weirdest fucking pride month
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
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
If you'd like 2 Print books that I absolutely reccomend to every visual artist regardless of Media, Color and Light and Imaginative Realism by James Gurney are basically religious texts for artists, even the 3-D people because his understanding and explanation of how light and form work is that damn good.
If you're wondering about Mr. Gurney's chops:
James Gurney is the Dinotopia Guy (that link includes his Dinotopia books, prints and online classes too)
hating tiktok is not a "back in my day" type thing. tiktok is objectively affecting other social media platforms in detrimental ways. ux elements are being stripped and everything has to have a fucking short video clips function. it's rampant homogenization and it's a problem
. yeah
also on that note weird teenagers empassioned about niche interests are the backbone of this website. stop being mean to them
a 15 year old video game kinnie who reblogs stimboards and fanart and gifsets has infinitely more coolness than a 26 year old who slings around the r slur at people ever will. post.

this is cringe
it’s called authenticity and it won’t kill you.
Prominent anti-porn homophobic conservative christian furry and former Flipnote animator “Peacewolf”, manager of the haven convention for Nazifur group “the Furry Raiders” known as “Free Fur All”, has left her anti-porn homophobic christian furry husband and children to be in a polycule with infamous fascist furry porn artists “Jasonafex” and “Kabier”. Now both conservative christian furries and leftist furries on Twitter are united in their hatred for the fallen Flipnote animator.
In case you didn’t know.
Very important additional information!! She told her husband she was leaving him by leaving a whiteboard drawing, with kabier and jasonafex leaving behind a cuck counter of all the times they fucked as a throuple
How could I forget the Cuck Counter
A nice update: PeaceWolf is a streamer now and she put the cuck counter in one as a 3d model
i would have played pretend on the playground with all of u btw
Brazil is the only non-Muslim country to host the most Shi'a Muslims in the world
Brazil has the "most X-people outside of X-place" of like, most kinds of people tbh
Brazil famously has the highest amount of Lebanese people in the world, including in Lebanon itself
literally Brazil is always "the largest X nation outside of X"
