Rella is an anime-style illustrator well-known for her VOCALOID illustrations and iconic lighting techniques. I tried studying 6 of Rella's lighting scenarios to better understand her techniques and to use it to fix my lighting problems. Showing you my process in breaking down scenarios like Ocean Day, Night, Spotlight, Stage Light, Sunset, and ...
I watched this video a while back when studying lighting, this guy walks you through his whole process for breaking down and recreating another artist's stuff
I tried following along with Mogoon/ Modare (モ誰)’s workflow in order to learn his secret techniques. I did that by taking his course on Coloso and then did a copy study of his Raiden Shogun illustration. This video was the process of the study.

This one too
I tried recreating Mika Pikazo's vibrant illustration in order to learn the hidden stylization techniques for giving your illustration a pop graphic look. My main takeaway from this study was halftone, and in this video I explored using Photoshop, Clip Studio and other ways of applying halftones.

Thou art flooding chat /silly
I’ll take a look at these

Hmm im inspired
I finished the fist video
Lemme try
*brandishes pencil
I’m going to do spearmaster because they’re purple
And i wanna try my age old epic lighting trick
Pink light blue shadow
Yeah!!!
What's your color pallet
The artist you like seemed to really limit their colors
I might not be awake soon but send updates as you go so I can see them in the morning
gn
Sorry got too into it and forgot to update
Idk how to feel about this
I am not pleased but its better 
Wait
Hm
Wait
Let’s make this look more unique
Never mind
Not pleased at all
Hmmm i like the shadows in my more painterly style
But lighting is a no no
Suppose i can combine these two
Alas i must continue another time for my mother does not like me drawing 
Okay last thing
I could clean up the painted shadows but i must really go now
Perhaps bc should be more saturated
Damn
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Nahhhhhhhhhhhh

I have no idea what im doing
Ha i love how discord crunches up the nice faded colors into ugly blocks
Thanks discord
Dang, lighting 
(still doesn't know lighting)
Also, how to like put the light thingies on directions?

Wdym by this
You know, light, hitting them with the direction where the light hits
I dont like hitting my subjects

Uh-

What?
Thats not even blackmail worthy but it could be weird out of context-
Uhhhh
I’m scared
i can edit it tho


Oh god
👀

Do elaborate

im not eepin 
Me mum makes me go to bed at 10 latest
it goes back during school
makes sense 
On the weekends i can have blissful sleep
Is late?
No its 10:14 :)
Um
Kinda i guess but not too bad
Passable?

aight, cool
Long
This is great, I like your lighting a lot
One thing I noticed in the artist's page is extremely, extremely severe contrast between light and dark
You've pretty much done that here, you could even dial it up even further if you wanted
Yknow you could always reach out to the artist you like in question, ask for tips on their process
👍
I really like the dust scattering
I had to hand do that cause procreate dont have a brush for that 
Wouldve done more
Okay
Tried more lighting stuff
But i was feeling bold and i didnt use any effect layers
Probably a mistake but it turned out alright
What im really proud of is the hand ?
Like i never do hands?
And the one time i did it it turns out alright??????
Soooo i was trying to just work on form
And messing with water effects because its so satisfying using just a white brush on low opacity and make little scribbles
And boom you got water


God damn 

Storage
"She was a fairy"
Discord won't show forwards to me, gimmie that image 

/silly /lh
What? 
Here
Crispy! hello there
How are you doing?
where are the scug designs 
Good 
What scug desings
which thread post is this?
Omniforge 
yeah 
Crispy where are the Omniforge scugs image thingy where is it

"UI" i know that's a iterator name, but I will always think of user interface first lol
Mesmo-
How did you get up there
I hear you up there in my forum
What does rivevil mean


Here?
crispy i just reread omniforge for the first time in months...,, WHAT is chapter 14 i've been crying about this for hours PLEASE


Storyteller or the winter chapter
Mightbeafurry said not to take the winter chapter down so i didnt
It’s there permanently now.

wha?

Also
Big updat
Omf is no longer a tragedy
Ive been pondering different options
Soooo good ending

Used to have the worst possible outcome as the ending
Good thing it aint like that right
Ye
Better news: next no more omf hiatus
Writing will commence again
Best news: at least 2 new illustrations are planned
Thanks cheesesticke
Bad news tree
Hate to break it to you

oh yeah i forgot 

Im not posting a single chapter until she fixes her sleep schedule
oka
Im not posting art either
"Normal" 
normal is bedtime
Everytime your sleep schedule is good ill post a chapter; the second its ruined ill stop posting chapters. Every day bad sleep = 1 week hiatus

i do sleeb for omf
Alr

Sleep for yourself stupid
oh god that’s a lot of hiatus
Cheesesticke decides.


We'll see
30k announcement
as well as a thick sneak peak

hopefully things pick up the pace and get more interesting


Bad news the 2 people who wait for OMF chapters
Cheesesticke made OMF hiatus 3 months
Soooo
Expect the next chapter in April!

Look guys im sorry
But it isnt my fault
OMF chapter 16 was supposed to be out on Wednesday
And OMF chapter 17 was supposed to be out today
But cheesesticke messed some things up you see

yes
OMF chapters are continueing
its just that cheesesticke cant read until april
so everyone make inside OMF jokes about the new chapters so cheesesticke feels left out
No looking at the traffic light angst cheesesticke 
Piotr 
I will lurk whenever i will feel like it
/silly /lh
(Sleep imminent
)
“Go ask your mother.”
“
”
What if i do daily updates while cheesesticke cant see? 
Almost done completely rewriting chapter 17!
Maybe "it repeated the motion faster" to avoid repetition? 
Oh god not the new name 

It has a story behind it-

Was going for a childish description but i suppose it doesnt work out 🤔
I was hanging out in art disscussion today and some devious things went down-

apparently I rizzed up cheesesticke

christ
that artificer dream sequence was terrifying, and I didn't even have a visual to go along with it!
i was actually gonna make a visual but i got lazy
Im glad you think its scary
5 i think
NNOOO RIV!!!!
you better do a good job of healing them, mr. spooky unknown iterator!!
and they were never the same again
they took away riv's speed
the only reason I liked playing as them over any other slugcat
I will never forget this
NO I AM STILL STAGNATING, REMEMBER??? 
theres an imposter among us
"Feeling cute, might read later" 
im taking inspiration
guys it's warrcat
i dont have any good jokes for this one
what 
that
that didn't even correlate to anything in the actual chapter? as far as I'm aware
what???? why?
im pretty sure sm talked to ling abt itty
Cp 14?
yes
what is this
sliver can't just ||appear out of the sky like jesus and take spearmaster??? what???? you can't just pull that out of nowhere like that!!!!||
i like how similar our reactions were 
okay phew
as it should 
You go througha really despressing part then stumble upon a crack chapter for like st patricks day or some shi 
You cant, remember?
nono
Wait til april

banned from reading??
yeah

i stayed up
ah
past bedtime
ok
and instead of just not releasing chapters im banned from reading them until further notice
April

hopefully
Oh yeah
thats a long time for just staying up
I could always make it longer~

I got really mad
She stayed up more than she shouldve
but are you as mad now



these two are funny



uh oh, linguist is being an angsty teen here
wa
glorp
i have finished the fic
I really liked it!
It has shorter chapters interwoven with longer ones so you're never too tired of it, and I don't really mind the constant jumping back and forth between storylines
It only gets worse 
I have finished rewriting 17 
Oh yeah.. I should probably clarify
When i say 17 ig i mean 18
Cause i dont count the winter chapter as a chpter

Wait its cut off :(
i love inno sm
Huh ive noticed kudos rates gone up really fast when i posted 16
Im not complaining but kudos usually is a steady rate; it just bumped up really high for some reason?
4-6 kudos per chapter sure but theres like 12 now?
????
Is it because of the increased word count, high visibility or a coincidence?
chat you better be grateful in OMF
i literally give you the juicest cuts of meat
some authors you know
they give the most mundane thing
but nah
i literally give you guys the most bombastic thing ever
every single time
dang i forgot to spoiler that
whatever cheesesticke can see
Time to start dropping whole chapters as teasers 

How many tests do you actually have?
I know what I'm going to draw for you
if you pass
well I have an idea
technically it's a comission so you can ask for whatever you want
but if you have no ideas I have an idea

Im done for today but the grind starts again on monday
Almost like....a cycle 
I have another AP test and an ela test on monday
Tuesday is math test
You do whatever
i wasnt actually going to make you draw anything

I stick to stuff

Glue beads
i can try

800 beads of adhesive
800 drops of glue
800 pieces of tape
otherwise known as: half full glue bottle

Infiltration successful. 
bro


I was always here
i know
OMNIFORGE HAS FISHSTICK?
I have a sudden unexplainable desire to read Omniforge instead of writing

personally i dont ship scugs that much
they could be interpreted as "just friends"
that also adopted a child and sleep together
"roomies"
yeah yeah I don't mean specifically shipping just like
Oml cute fuckin scugs???


hey, OMF is more scug than itty rn
not how i like it but whatever

Good grade commission gift for crispy underway

@vernal salmon I've combined what I think is two of your interests
merry good grades

HUH?
QHAR
ASJDJDFUDFUFKDKEKEAJSJD
AUGHGHHHHHH
MOONIE
WHY IS IT ACUTALLY SO AMAZING?
YOU DIDNT HAVE TO WORK THIS HARD FOR THIS BEADSSS
I had a lot of fun!
I figured of all people you'd appreciate Moon in armor
and it gave me the opportunity to listen to quite a few old mystery novels while I drew
I've decided that BBC sherlock did not do the original justice by any means at all
I cant figure out what the second interest is
im actually exhausted right now so please dont take offense
lmao no me too I stayed up way to late finishing this
I'm going to disappear and sleep, you should do the same thing
you're welcome to tell me what you think about it in the morning
just leave it up to interpretation then?
Can you pretty please tell me what the second interest is /silly
sort of a cross between Chapell Roan and the ever general appeal of women in armor? if that makes any sense at all
@wheat wind can you pin this pretty please 
I DIDNT EVEN RECOGNIZE IT IM SO STUPID
CHAPPELL ROAN OH MY GOD

WOMEN IN ARMOR?
YES PLEASE
not stupid at all, just sleepy
IM TREMBLING WITH JOY
Chappell Moon
Cheesesticke if you eat that art i will decimate you
wasnt planning to 
"I'M GONNA DELETE YOU" 
Cinq association moon goes hard
Cinq?
terrifying start
nah ok so

There are fixer offices (basically government approved mercenary companies)
and a few Major "associations" which are fixer offices but also manage some other things
cinq association is a major fixer office and the specialize in single combat and dueling but also managing duels between people
also unrelated but each association is like
Named after a different word for a number? And they line up? which is pretty cool ig
also one really funny thing
you meet a powerful fixer (mercenary) from that association in a different game and for some reason he's like
Live streaming his duels
also
Fencing sword
Idk lol

Hooligan with tomatoes strikes the neighborhood yet again
Okay atp me getting thrown out of this server may be not so far
Ragedy cat causing drama for herself

omniforge minecraft mod loader

i feel like one of them staplers should staple the link at the top
oh wait LOL
When I searched "crispyscoop" this showed up sometimes
I thought it was like
an internet archive
"archiveofourown"
they better treat spearmaster well
he's the coolest
im gonna explode you

???
song lyrics
"FP: I more so believe you feel immense guilt"
whar. bsm feels guilt?
guilt that she took FP's energy core, despite it being only for good
kek
jovially 






He knows SIGN LANGUAGE 










how did the riv learn sign language it's been 2 minutes
dont question past me's flawed logic
NHS is so unserious 😭
he cares about nothing 😭😭😭😭
This is not what I expected from the guy who saved LTTM
I'll have to read this later
I enjoy the whimsical spearmaster
the silly riv
the BSM who was entierly unhelpful 
I think FP shoulda spent more time apologizing for the murdering but oh well
I want to learn how to write now >:(
why did you do this to me

if any of yall liked the content i spat out in the yapping forum i actually made a server
so just ask and i can DM you the link

wait, what's the yapping forum

rip
terribly sad
Theres a yapping server, so i have healed from this loss 
oh okay
wmy can't ao3 let me create account like a normal website 

I just want to turn on dark mode 

my retinas

crispy.... why do my eyes need to go on a waiting list.....

what
perchance can thou inviteth me?
im not
sadge
It’s always needed them, right? 
Am I having a senior moment?
needing invites for enabling dark mode feels very pretentious
"Ah yes only the upper class writers such as us may rest our eyes. You may read directly into the sun while you wait."
oh i meant invitations from other users
Get to read in darkness on the 28th 👍

Reading chapter six. ||LTTM got the rot||??? Or did I somehow miss a transition to FP's perspective (or was it simply meant to be implied)
um yeah
I don't wannar ping you with every comment 
yipee
oh
your two wives were speaking idk where FP came from
yeah a big gap appears during a POV transition lmao
sorgy probably very uncler..
in later chapters i added 3 dots to indicate pov transition
yeah its that]
all of this book is beautiful

I can't create compliments but your writing needs one AD:LKFJSLKJFDS

(Dark mode chrome extension)

Amateur. I was given a 2 month waiting list!!
you guys’ ao3 isnt in dark mode? 
Mine is 
i have to keep mine in light mode so the agonizing bright light prevents me from falling asleep while reading 



They've gotta have an account first 
oh yeh I forgor

Both windows and android have invert color features,
On windows you'll have to set it up,
On android (at least Samsung that I know of) it's in the little setting bubble things when you pull down the top of the screen where you turn on the wifi and stuff
you desire more?
More…what?
These are cool 
When you say this is a sad story do you mean like “bad ending everyone dies” or some lighter flavor of sadness…
Aw dang it
Yeah..
I counted...
8 characters were gonna die
For unnatural causes
But yeah not anymore
It has a good ending
but if you think about it, everyone also died in the original rainworld ending—
ture
But Cy said it was unlawful to kill everyone
So i said fine
And I rethunk
But noooo i would say it’s in between
A lot of death
A lot of angst
Uhm
Stuff
I guess idk
I’d say it’s not very happy in the middle
But by the end its alright
Just like ACTS 

my tired brain didn’t properly get the “but I changed it” part lol
Not what I meant by “aw dang it”
the amount of the story thats about dying determines how much I want to read it
Wait, there's dark mode? 
ya
if you scroll down to the very bottom of a page (while logged in) theres a skin on the left that says i think reversi
Tan mode gang rise up (there is only me) 

GRAH

I'M GONNA READ IT ANYWAYS FUCK YOUUUUUU 
Omniforge/Manhattan
Her lack of purpose brought on draughts of drawn boredom. She had a companion, sure, but they came and went as they pleased without much thought for company. They were a naturally curious creature, the wonders of the world urging them on, further away from the sedentary god. A constant moving force. A little river streaming away from the ocean which they provided for.
grah
have something i guess
Manhattan???
Trust me, it's about nukes 
Hanmattan??
Manhattan 
The city?!? /j
Sliver of Straw is just New York

Project manhattan 
Exactly!

Does that make Moon and Pebbs like…
Baltimore and Washington D.C. ? 

Theyre near the ocean though...
Always considered them to be west coast 
Like los Angeles and san Francisco
Washington DC is on the ocean 
Chesapeake bay runs right through the city
Guh true
Ive been there and seen the ean
Ocean
Sorgy
I have no sense of geography 
Point is, west coast moon and pebbs imo
But it doesn't rain over here

Uhh the OTHER west coast 
Manhattan project
Aw someone else said it already
I’m never recovering from this
Moon and pebbs with the outrageous California surfer accent, Sliver with the thickest New York drawl you’se ever heard 🔥
Fireeee
Oh yeah thats what im talking about 🔥
And you know NSH is a full on Texan cowboy.
🇬🇧
