Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

can't stop thinking about this movie tbh..

And at last, the Archivist looks up.
“I don’t want to be a burden” you’re more like a relief, a gift, a blessing actually
How do you go about choosing colors? Do you have a palette or use filters? Every time I try nothing looks cohesive enough and I don't understand how gradient maps work or if I'm doing it right lol but I really like the colors you use and was wondering what you do!
i don't use a palette, but i do use gradient maps pretty often o:
a gradient map takes the values in your image and reassigns them along the new gradient you've chosen. here's an example below - left side is a grayscale sketch, right side is with the gradient map applied. you can see how the darkest values are mapped to the purple tones, and lightest values are mapped to the peach/yellow.
my cheap trick to unifying color schemes is to choose colors, render an image > flatten and duplicate > apply gradient map > adjust opacity until it harmonizes. (that's my method in procreate, but you can use gradient maps as separate adjustment layers in photoshop and CSP). i still end up doing corrections afterwards, but it's a useful trick nonetheless. hope that helps!
A concept art i make a few days ago
Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up
They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together
I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles
