Is that including humidity or not?

EITHER WAY, yeowch... I don't envy you in the least. People ask me what's my secret weapon to combating Louisiana summers. I tell them "staying indoors with a good AC".

@Mew - I love that meme.

UUUUUUGH, it gonna be bad, then. I've never ventured that far north outside of a connecting flight from Frankfurt to New Orleans, so I've no idea how bad it gets in the northeast.

Recently had two friends of mine move to Las Vegas. Having lived in Louisiana their whole lives, they were certain they could handle the dry heat that came with living in Nevada.

Boy were they wrong.

I actually didn't mind the heat in Las Vegas. Though, I was mostly in a pool the whole time. I snuck into the Caesars pool, the one that's in all the movies. It was just as majestic as I thought it would be.

Gotta go back there soon so I can live it up like a queen again

If my plans go right, I'll be moving to Las Vegas.

I need to get out of this state. It's sinking into the abyss and I don't want to go down with it.

Zhou Cang is an oddly attractive man.

like...he's not. But also, he is.

inner conflict.
also Man Chong's artwork is way more attractive than his render.

Zhou Cang looks pretty cool now that I get a good look at him

I beat the summers by staying in water almost the whole time :asia:

To elaborate - I'd go look at step by step examples where people would just be magically picking out these nice flat colors that looked correct in that early phase, and mine would all be clown barf or meh and I didn't know how to fix them. I also never thought about recoloring the lines to look nice in multiply mode over whatever was under them.

I finally realized that it has a lot to do with saturation (which is linked to lighting, so keep it in a proper range for a base tone) and undertones (e.g. make a purple pop out from a blue by giving it more red). I also learned that you should pick the key colors first (like, a red apple or something else that needs to be specific) and then do others relative to that. So I started with Redd's purplish blue sweater vest and went on from there.

I'm not 100% onboard with Redd's pants (too dark?) and Tequila's skirt gradient (too blue?), but that's why I keep a kazillion layers so I can fix those later if need be.

WIP, complete with super mature color ref notes and stupid dialog to amuse my Twitter feed

I like the sketch and sometimes the lineart. When it comes time to color, it's over. My love for the piece is over. Life is over.

Aw, Chibi, I like your colors and painterly digital stroke style! This one is one of my favorites - dat metal and reflective lighting.

Oh ****, I did that? I can hardly believe it... I wonder where that kind of dedication and compassion went.

But thank you. ^w^

Oh that's a great coloring job! What the hell are you so down about coloring for, Chibi?

I usually half-ass my lineart just so I can get to coloring quicker because I'm impatient :lol: my drawing philosophy is "close enough"

The problem is how much time and ink it takes... which is why I'm not keen on coloring my comic

Hey, there's something to be said for "close enough". I've been stopping things I make for free at that point where I'm not sure that the last small percentage of improvement is worth the time it would take to do it. I still like the result, and I can go do something else, and more pieces = more improvement in the long run.

If something isn't exactly perfect for me, I abandon it. I have a bad habit of that.
