THERE ISNT EVEN A USERNAME THERE ANYMORE WH?????

I used to be intimidated by you but eventually I realized you’re not special. You’re just like the rest of us.

I could cast so many spells on you

This didn't age well

This is NOT a SessRin opening!

Many people say that, in this opening, SessRin is compared to InuKag, but I don’t think so. If you see this succession of scenes carefully, you will realize that, while in Moroha’s scene the background images are all of Inuyasha and Kagome, in the part where Towa and Setsuna appear, we see scenes about Sesshomaru’s development as a character and his growth as a person in relation to other characters like Kagura and Kohaku. Those are not just images of Sesshomaru and Rin:

First we see the scene in which Sesshomaru remembers Kagura’s death and says he will be the one to decide if she died for nothing. It’s interesting that here we see the empty stairways; an empty place a person should be occupying, but I don’t think it’s Rin because she is already in the background. Giving us this scene of Sesshomaru thinking about Kagura reminds us of how important she was to him and his development as a character.

Then we have two background images. The first is Rin. This makes sense since we all know she was very important to Sesshomaru’s growth, (after all, she is his adopted daughter.) But in the following image something caught my attention: Sesshomaru is holding Tenseiga and the moon is behind him. This scene is from Chapter 20, when Inuyasha, Kagome and Sango are fighting Naraku, who wants the fragment of Kohaku. At one point, Kohaku is captured but the one who saves him is none other than Sesshoumaru. This scene in the opening is Sesshomaru saving Kohaku. And I love that, because they are indicating how important their relationship is as well. I also find it interesting that just at the moment when Sesshomaru’s two biological daughters appear, Sunrise decides to show two images related to the two human children he cared for. Could that be indicating that they position Kohaku and Rin as his children as well?

Then we have an image that at first glance, seems to be only about Sesshoumaru and Rin, but specifically is when Sesshomaru decides to save the souls that are in hell. That also shows the growth Sesshomaru has experienced, deciding to save many human souls. Finally, the last scene here is from when Sesshomaru obtains Bakusaiga, putting aside his grudge and pursuit of his father’s power and thus acquiring his own sword. In conclusion, I don’t think this opening is trying to validate SessRin, instead, I think it shows the growth process Sesshomaru has had.

Hi!!! What is your personal headcanons on which homunculi has a favorite sibling?

Hi Anon! Thanks for sending the ask, this was cool. Sorry it took so long, I hope you like it :)

Pride – Because Pride lived a long time as an only child, he didn’t actually want any siblings at first, because he thought he was perfect enough to help Father without them. He got lonely after at time, so slowly accepted the necessity of Father creating the others. It’s not like he actually had any say in the matter anyway, despite Father indulging Pride when he was young.

Pride watched Father’s design process for Lust, and the long time they spent together before Greed’s creation cemented her as his favourite sibling. He found Greed relatively interesting in his design documents, too, but that went away quickly when he was born because of his personality, but he didn’t hate him until he deserted them.

To go on a little tangent, Homunculi only get to see the designs of those that were made after. Pride got to see all of Father’s designs (except his own) and was able to notice them degenerating, but he’d never admit that out loud, even after the experiment regarding Gluttony’s Gate failed.

Secretly, Pride sees it as himself possessing the most of Father’s real essence, and that the others must have gotten less of it as they went. Hence, Lust remains his favourite, as she is the one who received the most next to him.

Lust – Lust cares for all her siblings, but as her only older sibling, Pride is her favourite. She enjoys getting some time to relax and not have to pick up the pieces after him like with her younger siblings. Of course, she has a soft spot for Gluttony, and Envy too because of how often they are sent on missions together in more recent times. She definitely helps the Homunculi stay together as a family, and they become a lot more scattered and disorganised after her death.

Greed – Greed tried to get along with all his siblings, since it’s easier to get what you want if you don’t cause a fuss. His birth caused a shake up in the 50 year long status quo though, and Pride was a bit of a hardass at first with him, while Lust was the good cop and humoured him from time to time, though Greed still got his share of violent punishments from her if he pissed her off. He was glad to finally get a younger sibling with Envy, but still didn’t have a favourite really. He tries to avoid thinking about his siblings at all after his desertion, and if he does only negatively. Like when he hears about Barry the Chopper in Central on the radio or in the newspaper, Greed spitefully hopes that he’s causing his siblings a lot of trouble there.

Envy – Envy got along reasonably well with all his older siblings when he was young, though he was wary of Pride because of the debacle with the horse racing scheme (though it was more Greed’s bad planning), and his generally aloof nature. As the closest to him in age he hanged out with Greed a lot later on, since he let him get away with more stuff. This tripped Envy up in the end though, since he was so lax that Greed managed to run away right at the tail end of the 4th Crest, and Envy hated Greed ever since. Mostly he’s just now took his place as part of Lust’s ‘even numbered homunculi’ trio (4th and 6th), and she is his favourite sibling. He misses her terribly after her death and turns into her lots of times to try and cheer himself up.

Sloth – No opinion on any of them, really. These days he only interacts with Pride while he’s working in the Tunnel, and before he was sent there Sloth only saw his other siblings (Lust, Greed and Envy) for a few weeks or months after his creation.

Gluttony – Gluttony is friendly to all his siblings, but obviously appreciates Lust best of all.

Wrath – No favourite. They all pretty much teased him when he was young, and because he’s lastborn will always be the baby of the family. They humour him from time to time, like when Lust instructed him on talking to the future Mrs Bradley (but he didn’t listen to her and followed Envy’s advice anyway), but he doesn’t have a favourite between them. I mean, he went through like 35/40 years of being a Homunculus and never even learned that Gluttony prefers to devour little girls compared to other humans.

Nowadays he has Pride living with him and scolding him a lot, so they don’t enjoy living together. Things change a little when Pride starts warming up to Mrs Bradley, but that just means Wrath gets less time to spend with her, so even if it’s less fraught, it’s still an awkward living arrangement.

10 inspiring and helpful YouTube channels for digital artists

People are asking us how the art we share can be so good.

The answer this time isn’t so simple. An artist has his own way on shaping his style, he takes his time to experiment and so it becomes quite difficult for others to try learning his art style and making it their own. It’s even wrong.

But we can tell you that many artists learn by getting inspired by others’ art. Watching an artist while he paints can be motivating - and of course it can teach you a few technical tricks.

So, here there are ten YouTube channels you should check out.

1. FZD School of design

It’s a school founded by Feng Zhu, amazing concept artist with a lot of experience in video games, films and commercials. His videos are real episodes/lessons and they are very helpful. And, well, they even have a school in Singapore…

2. China digital painting

This channel doesn’t feature tutorials but shares full video processes by Chinese artist. In this period we are seeing many young artists inspired by an art style that’s typically Chinese - it features dramatic lighting and mood. Though such a technique can be found in other artists like Bouguereau and  Rembrandt.

3. Ctrl + Paint

A channel dedicated to the digital painting in Photoshop. Very helpful for those beginners who want to learn how to use this software and how to get better with art in general.

4. Level Up!

One of the most known groups of digital art of Facebook can be found on YouTube as well. The founders are Wojtek Fus and Darek Zabrocki. Each session (episode) features a different digital artist. This is great because you can compare the different painting processes. The main theme of this channel is concept art and fantasy/sci-fi illustrations.

5. JJ canvas

This is the channel of Jorge Jacinto. He uploads speedpaintings, but they are very inspiring if you want to look at how a wonderful surreal landscape can be created in twenty minutes - in time-lapse of course.

6. Webang111

Another channel with time-lapse videos. Very inspiring if you are into colorful and cartoony illustrations.

7. Ross Draws

His art is wonderful and his videos are super funny! Check out his channel if you want to see how a fantasy illustration can be created from a simple idea - I mean, he starts with two rough lines to close the video with a breathtaking illustration. Crazy.

8. The Portrait Art

Okay, we know. This channel is not about digital art. But it’s amazing art anyway and if you are into realistic portraits, you can get inspired by watching these videos.

9. Cubebrush

Another channel with time-lapse videos, but a few are commented. The videos are about 2D and 3D paintings.

10. Noah Bradley

This artist is a master in the concept field and he doesn’t only talk about his digital method but about his career as well, giving lots of hints on how to become a better artist and how to enter in the art industry.

We hope this post helps you. Good luck!
