The Radioactive Man Who Returned To Fukushima To Feed The Animals That Everyone Else Left Behind
Naoto Matsumura is the only human brave enough to live in Fukushima’s 12.5-mile exclusion zone

He fled at first but returned to take care of the animals that were left behind

He returned for his own animals at first, but realized that so many more needed his help, too

Matsumura, who is 55 years old, knows that the radiation is harmful, but he “refuses to worry about it”

“They also told me that I wouldn’t get sick for 30 or 40 years. I’ll most likely be dead by then anyway, so I couldn’t care less”

Matsumura discovered that thousands of cows had died locked in barns


He also freed many animals that had been left chained up by their owners

Many of them now rely on him for food

The government has forbidden him from staying, but that doesn’t stop him either

He started in 2011 and is still going strong 4 years later

He relies solely on donations from supporters to work with and feed the animals

His supporters are calling him the ‘guardian of Fukushima’s animals’

The man clearly has a sense of humor as well



I appreciate chu
Awwwww thank you! I appreciate your art so much!

Can you make a tut on your agere edit?? :D
Idk I just edit normally but sure ૮꒰ྀི∩´ ᵕ `∩꒱ྀིა *specifically 4 agere edits but u can use it for any type
I use Picsart so first I create a new project
I go 2 “stickers” and choose the center of the image, usually a character
I take other stickers of the character and put them around the center sticker
I choose a cutecore background from my gallery that fits the character / theme
I select the stickers, go to “fx” and I use “Smart” and sometimes “INDIE1” and I adjust the effects
I adjust the background to the character ( with “fx” )
Then I look for “pacifiers” in stickers and give the stickers a paci each
If the pacifier color’s are desaturated compared to the rest of the edit, I use “INDIE1” again
I try to find stickers related to the character, the series / game they’re in and their aesthetic
I add the stickers and put a white (or color that fits with the character) border on them
I look for “agereg” stickers and add them around
Sometimes, I add cutecore borders to the background or some small cutecore stuff around
I finish the edit by not selecting anything, directly going to “fx” and using a bit of “Smart” and sometimes “INDIE1”, because when you don’t select anything it edits the whole picture.
⚠️ If you use this tutorial, don’t copy my edits exactly, do it in your own style !! ⚠️
how does every1 recolor their dividers to be gradient? urs always look the best btw i always see in my dash!!!


i recolor my dividers using a clipping layer on ibispaint x, and i get the gradient by using the parallel gradation effect found in filters!



Masking Gifs in Photopea (Guide)
Recently i noticed some edit blogs wonder how to mask gifs, and ive seen ppl reccomend EZgif...and theres nothing wrong with that! BUT i've recently found a way to mask gifs in Photopea and PERSONALLY to me they look way way better than masking in EZgif.
So heres a step by step on how i made the masked gifs of my holohawk edits on my hololive edit blog.


IMPORTANT FOR STEP 1: if you end up using ScreenTo Gif, DO NOT CLOSE THE APP UNTIL IT FINISHES PROCESSING THE GIF! You can see at the top right of the app how the process is going. It'll say "Completed" when its done!








Aaaand!!!!! You're done! ୨୧(o´∀`o)୨୧
Final product:

Hope this guide helped you all <3 Have fun editing !!!!!
⭐ Pixel Art Fundamentals - Hue Shifting
This technique is not uniquely specific to pixel art, but it's a very common term to hear when starting out watching those "dos and don'ts" videos. So what is hue shifting?

Hue shifting basically means to change the hue when making your shade darker or lighter. In this context, 'hue' = colour!

You may hear 'you need to hue shift more' when getting feedback on your art, but what does that mean really? Here are some examples:

We can see even with just a bit of hue shifting, we have quite a different vibe for each drawing. In warm / daylight settings, no hue shifting can sometimes look a bit muddy or grey.
If we swap the image to grayscale, you can see that they look much the same:

As long as the hue shifted colours have a brightness that makes sense, they usually will work. You can get quite wacky with it.


But is hue shifting always good? Not necessarily.
Below is some of my art where I intentionally didn't hue-shift at all. You can see it gives them an uncanny, digital, or photographic kind of look. As always, techniques are about your intention, or personal style.


I recommend trying different hue shifting methods! I especially love to use a cool blue or teal for the lighter shades.


Thanks for reading and I hope this helped a little! Have fun with it!!

Challenge 34: Suitcase Bling-Egypt
Ever since I was a child I’ve been fascinated with Egypt, and is still a place I’d like to visit/ experiance. I originally had something a bit more developed/ interesting but becuase of time restraints this was the end result.

“Just the way it should be.”
Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.
This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...
Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!
Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!






two (2) people asked how i did the matchbook thing so take this
this is just a simple idea but if you spend some more time you can get real krazy with it:
