Did a small #tutorial for class on “How to Improve Storytelling in Panel Layouts”! Thought it might help some peepz around here!

I am so serious when I say if you want to learn about light, you NEED to at least look at modeseven’s tutorials. even if you’re not pursuing a painterly style, this is all essential theory that can be easily adapted to different coloring styles. notice how none of these ever say ‘light with these colors and shade with these colors’? notice how this is teaching how light works on a mechanical level, and reminding the audience to adjust the actual colors they choose by context? THAT is good advice.
(if you’re thinking ‘wow I want to study more of this persons art!’ I encourage you to do so, but proceed with the knowledge that modeseven draws pretty much exclusively weird as hell kink art. sometimes wisdom comes from horny places)

I’ve been seeing an increasingly large amount of people get into fic binding lately, which is fucking amazing! I love each and every one of you guerilla publishers! With the history of fandom takedowns, purges, and the bull shit legislation corporations try and start every few years, it’s so good that fics are being given permanency.
I’ve noticed that fic binders seem to be focused on longer fics, ones in the 50k onward range, which makes sense and is great because these fics absolutely deserve to be put into print! But, the thing is, my favorite fics have almost always been short one-shots, and no one seems to be talking about binding them.
So! I’m gonna show you how to bind short one-shots.

Bird Costume Tutorial Masterpost
Here are a collection of tutorials explaining how I made my Kenku Costume. If you have more questions please check my Kenku Costume FAQ!
This costume is my Dungeons and Dragons character, Rue, who is a Kenku (bird person.) The Kenku are a monster race that became playable in 5th edition.
The photos in this post were taken by D. Davalos (flickr, twitter, instagram) at PAX West 2016. Saheeli Rai cosplayer (who is touching my head) is @ladymakeupsiren.
Check out this bird costuming masterpost by my bud, @rah-bop! I personally know that Rah put countless hours into researching, writing, and making these tutorials (especially since she hand illustrated some of them!). She made these for FREE, wow! If you like them, or use them, or they are helpful to you, be sure to say “thanks” (or drop her a little tip so she can pay her bills and keep making THE MOST AMAZING ART HOLY WOW). Even just hearing “thanks!” means a lot to an artist, trust me!!

quickie tutorial time! most of the cosplay bow tutorials i see out there result in a pillowy, unrealistic-looking bow since they usually involve no loops. this is how i make bows that result in one that looks slightly more “tied” in place with no visible seams.
- start with a long rectangle that’s double the width of your bow and at least twice the length. if your fabric is too flimsy to hold its shape, you may want to add interfacing. double this over and sew to make a long tube, which you will want to press with the seam centered in the tube.
- with the seam on the inside, pin the two ends where you want it to meet in the middle so it is the width you want. cut off any excess because we don’t want extra bulk.
- sew that pinned bit together to make your tube into a ring. if you want your bow to have tails, now is the time to make them. you can do so using the same method as the first tube, but then closing off the ends.
- tie it together in the middle, being careful to “crimp” the middle in a way that will be visually-pleasing. make a small second tube that’s long enough to fit around the middle and then some. if you have tails, you may wish to tie them onto your bow now.
- hand sew the middle tube around the bow, and ta-da! you’re done!
there’s tons of different ways to attach this to your hair or wherever. you can sew/glue on clips or snaps, or if you’re super lazy like me, you can just loop a hairband through that middle part on the back. it’s more likely to sort of rotate that way, but meh. good enough for me!

DIY Dolce & Gabbana Inspired Baroque Applique Tights Tutorial from cocorosa here. These appliques took sixteen hours to sew on. *Also there are other ways to get the baroque look using stencils, etc…
I can think of about 100+ costumes this is useful for. Reblogging for both fashion AND for cosplay.

here’s a quick rundown of my fabric painting process for my disgust cosplay. first, i tested various colors and painting techniques, including using different kinds of brushes, applying directly from a nozzle, and attempting to emulate embroidery, to find one i liked. in the end, i ditched my fancy pants fake-embroidery idea and went with applying from the nozzle and going over it with a paintbrush to get even coverage. for the pattern, i made four different flower stencils based on the different shapes i could see on her dress and traced them onto the dress, placing them as exactly as i could in relation to one another. then it was just a matter of slowly and tediously going over all those lines with paint. it took forever, and i sorta want to add some glitter or something to it in the future, but at least it’s done! p.s. please ignore my incomplete makeup coverage in the bottom image. v-v
