The First Test For Our WLED Board Codename "Sparkle Motion" 🌈💖💡 … 🐇⏳🌌

The first test for our WLED board codename "Sparkle Motion" 🌈💖💡 … 🐇⏳🌌

We got our WLED-friend PCBs today, and we only made one mistake: the wrong resistor on the 3.3V feedback line. Now that it's fixed, the board seems to work great with the latest version of WLED

Tutorials - WLED Project

We are checking all 4 signal outputs with this handy 256-LED grid that sits on our desk. Next, we will test the onboard IR receiver, USB PD, I2S microphone, extra I/O pins, and I2C. We'll also do an Arduino IDE board definition in case folks want to use it as a generic ESP32-to-LED-driver board. We're calling the board "Sparkle Motion" for now, but if you have other naming ideas, let us know - if we pick your name, you get a free board

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG thread from when I made these a year ago were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

You draw legs very well

An illustration of a oc dragon from the Wings of Fire series - a nightwing-sandwing hybrid named Daybreak. He is sitting on his hind legs with fully uncurled wings, the left side of his body shown to the viewer. He looks amused, forked tongue sticking out of his closed mouth. Daybreak is holding a pile of scrolls and papers in his front limb, some falling out of his hands, small amount of them already on the ground. A belt with two middle-sized bags is placed on the left side of his body. His scales are mostly purple-gray in color, his belly and neck scales are lighter than the rest of his body. His muzzle, front paws, left leg and a part of his tail are light cream in color, some freckles of the same hue are strewn around his body. His wing membranes are mostly dark purple with cream specks, they fade slightly into gold at the edges. He's wearing a pale gold chest plate with a sun-like symbol on it. The background is transparent, the character is outlined in white with some hand drawn stars around him.

An illustration of a oc dragon character from the Wings of fire series - a skywing named Thunder. He's sitting on his hind legs, wings partially open with the most of his right side is shown to the viewer. He's holding a small cup of popcorn, with his left paw holding a small piece. He's staring at the viewer with a judgmental expression. His scales are mostly yellow-gold, with his underbelly being orange and a thin, red stripe running down his back and tail. His limbs are decorated with a tabby-like pattern. The outside of his wings is orange while the inner membrane is pale yellow with white, lighting-shaped markings stretching across the whole surface. His horns as well as the back and tail spikes are shaped slightly like lighting bolts. the background is transparent, the character is outlined in white.

An illustration of two headshots of a oc dragons from the Wings of fire series - a nightwing/sandwing named Daybreak and a sandwing named Sunstone. Both of them are drawn from the neck up, horizontally, with their mouths open, using firebreath. The dragon at the top, Daybreak, is mostly purple-gray with some lighter scales on his throat. The scales on his back are circular and have lighter, more purple accents. He has long, bat-like ears. His snout has a pale cream patch. His head horn are straight and almost black, with smaller spikes of the same color running down his back. At the end of his neck there's a cut-off chest piece of a pale golden color. The fire coming out of Daybreak's mouth is reddish with some lighter strokes of cream and pink mixed within. the dragon below, Sunstone, is mostly golden with dirty-orange scales under his throat and eyes. His sandwing fin is ragged and orange-pink in color. He's wearing a lot of golden jewelry, two necklaces, a chestpiece identical to the one Daybreak is wearing, a small tiara, horn rings, and earings connected to a brindle on his muzzle. His head horns are dark red in color. The fire coming out of his mouth is has a longer reach than Daybreak's, it's much lighter in color, ranging from pale cream to orange-red. The background is dark-blue, both of the characters are outlined in white.

An illustration of a oc dragon from the Wings of Fire series - an icewing named Verglas. He's laying down, with his front limbs crossed and his tailed curled behind him. His wings are almost fully closed. His scales are fully purple-black, dappled with opalescent sheen. His underbelly and a part of his under tail area has long, dark fur growing out of it. His head horns, and neck and tail spikes are also a darker tone than the rest of his body. His nose and insides of his ears are dark blue. Two tusks are sticking out of his mouth. His front leg's ankles are wrapped in a leather bandage. The background is transparent, the character is outlined in white.

Wof oc doodles!

Liked this OC so I drew it. I just really like the idea of a dragonet having absorbed their twin being able to live a fairly normal life despite their differences

I also wanted to experiment with simplistic background designs and funny textures.

Another stinker!! I made Scorch and then fell in love with the idea of branching tails.

Tokay doesn’t have a mutation like he does, she absorbed her twin in her egg and now has a mini wing, a branching tail, and a spare left horn just above her ear! None of these have ever bothered her and the scales change color just fine.

She’s like most other Rainwings, rather unadventurous and enjoying her sun time, but she’s very smart and cares deeply for her tribe.

This is a really nice style. I like how conscious you were of the muscles on the arms and their shading. That's something I've been struggling on and this looks really good.
