sometimes i think about how different the animanga community is from how it was years ago. before there were always sites being made by a range of different people / groups and, while there were high and low seasons, there was a good selection for everyone. now there's barely anything new being made and when something new does come up its typically always by the same people you see still putting out sites.

one day this hell will come to an end and all we'll have is the rl community and occasional panfandom rps
calling it now

so i watched the movie, maquia: when the promised flower blooms, or as some of you may know it as "sayonara no asa ni yakusoku no hana wo kazarou". ya boy was in tears. like, such a sad movie. had me going "what? ? ? ? ? ?" at some parts, making me scream how savage some characters were around the middle to end. left me with a question/curiosity for one character b/c goddamn did she have it bad, like i know she's a minor and like somewhat integral to the story? but goddamn. got me sweating out my edges from how crazy this movie was, red puffy eyes. that movie was stressful from start to finish. beautiful story though, and animation. the world building is awful, but that's okay cause everything else makes up for it.





i was more worried about if he was going to fuck his mom

oh von … sweet naive von … everything i make is garbage but im very happy to even be tagged in something like this …

i don’t really have a lot of tips, i honestly think i could improve a lot from where i am, but here’s some things that might help anyone trying to get into making their own graphics / make more. also all my advice will always be for photoshop since i haven’t used anything else …

but i find it extremely helpful to change the workspace background color on photoshop to the color of the skin im making graphics on or at least the overall brightness and switching back and forth to see how it looks on darker and lighter backgrounds. certain ways you color an image and even how you crop things will look differently depending on the backdrop and sometimes you’ll notice there’s a small speck of color on the edge you didn’t notice on a darker bg but saw on a lighter one (and vice versa).

small image and can’t find a larger version? sometimes this site will help you with that. make it large, resize it smaller in photoshop and see if it looks nice. it doesn’t work every time but sometimes it helps get things just right, especially if the image (while good quality) isn’t that big.

nudges are your friend, don’t be afraid to move your image around pixel by pixel ; just a few pixels up and to the right can really change how everything looks. plus you don’t have to touch your mouse lol

if an image seems a little pixelated use smart blur and move around the setting until it looks okay. it takes some time and every image is different (and sometimes it doesn’t really work as well as you want) but when it does it makes a huge difference.

i love using selective color in all my icons, hovers and graphics in general. it helps saturate a lot of colors that are just so bright and heavy while letting others pop more. it can also completely change a certain color in the image into something else, which i like to do if the image sort of calls for it. even subtle changes like just making the skin tone have more contrast or the reds be saturated and darker can make it easier on the eyes or draw your attention to where you want it.

also photoshop 101 but save your process as actions once you find something you like ...... saves you the trouble of having a file with your coloring and it only takes one button click to get your hovers/ icons to where you want it (outside of tweaking and stuff that comes with using a new image).

im sorry if none of this actually helps anyone lmao or it just doesn't make sense. its late and im d ead

i’ve had the idea for a long time (and it hasn’t gone anywhere but haunt me) but i’d love to one day make a site whose setting changes every other month or so, allow staff to focus on events either centered around the current setting or can be pulled off regardless that (hopefully) encourages members to explore their characters actions, motivations and self in situations they might not typically get from open threads or in settings they might not have had their characters in otherwise.

there’s something satisfying with making a character and watching them become something more than just “that one person i made on a site once” and i highly doubt i’m alone with having characters you always go back to making because you either have a lot of fun on them / haven’t had them take part in a certain type of site and would like to explore them outside of the norm.

i also just have a lot of characters, a lot of aus and a lot of headcanons i haven’t gotten to write out in posts

that's the biggest reason why i want to do this

i want too much shit and i'm dying

after posting my unneeded opinion on here a few times i figured it was about time i make this thread.

hi fam
i go by bonnibel / bonni and im rude now

i’ve been in this god awful hell for a long time and i want side tables to come back because im tired of hover banners because it’s been done so much we need something different guys

i’ve gone by a bunch of different names (mostly because i would always do name themes for sites i made or joined with friends) so you might know me if you were on:

tokai, crosswire, deicide, eres, black signal, broken war online and maybe some other shit i can’t even remember lmao

if you remember any of these and want to call my ass out on shitty sites i help make pls do we can share facts about how i suck ass

i code and skin but don’t put out my work so it doesn’t matter much -- i also lost the drive to make sites again and it’s killing me because i still want to rp but my ass is too picky

kill me
