I don't want to ask AI a question. I don't want AI to write my sentences for me, at all ever. I don't want AI search bars to be the default and I don't want them to be in such a way that I can't opt out. I don't want this kind of AI in my life and there is no such thing as AI art, there is only theft of art from human artists by AI scrappers. I don't want any of this, I hate it. Maybe in a world that isn't driven by tech bro capitalism we can see machines doing all the dangerous inane things so humans can be free to pursue life and creativity. But that's not what's happening right now and I hate it.

YOUR COLORS ARE SO VIBRANT EEEE!!! HOW DID YOU DO THAT ON PAPER?? ITS AMAZING!!!!!

TYSM!!!! 🙏💕 I’ll do my best to explain!

Okie, so this is how my drawings look before I do anything to them. Depending on the lighting of the room, the color(s) might already pop well enough.

Next, I decrease the contrast. You can go all the way back to -100, but usually I go to about -70 or less. It varies from drawing to drawing and really just depends on what looks best to you. I also like it because any pencil/eraser marks don’t stick out as badly.

After that, I adjust the brightness and black point until they look right to me.

By then, the colors will probably be vibrant enough to where increasing the saturation won’t be necessary, but I say go for it if you want. I like to go up a smidge myself.

Lastly, I slap a filter I like best over the drawing (“Vivid” for the iPhone is my go-to).

And here’s the result! I hope this was helpful. :>

Some requests from IG

A new friend for the Morioh gang—Himari!

I’ll put together a bio for her (and Sheena) as soon as I’m able, but for now here’s a little bit of info about her under the cut.

Age: 15-16

Personality: Comes across as emotionless, but is just abnormally calm. Quiet and awkward, but friendly. Goes with the flow. Has a whimsical sense of humor. Intelligent; absorbs information like a sponge. More sensitive than she appears. Becomes more expressive over time.

Interests: nonfiction books, manga, plants, insects, video games, puzzles

More facts about Floff (because I really need to talk about her more)

The Blooks were the first friends she made when she moved to Waterfall. She considers them to be her closest friends.

Unlike the other monsters, she likes Napstablook’s music.

She always attended the ghosts’ backyard plays/performances. They worked around her work schedule so that she would be able to.

Did her best to be there for Napstablook when “Happstablook” left.

She could use a helping hand at her shop, but she’s too stubborn to accept it.

She met Sans when she bit the bullet and tried taking applications for once. He was the only one that responded. Obviously, due to his laziness and Floff’s tendency to micromanage, his employment didn’t last long. Despite this, they’ve remained good friends.

After that, though, she didn’t look to hire anyone else.

Lets the spiders run their bake sale in her shop— not because of how intimidating Muffet is, no, not at all.

After the barrier shattered, Mettaton designated her as the costume designer for his troupe.
