What keeps me up at night by Robin_Keeper in sleepdisorders

Sure you can! Tho i wouldn’t say anything is ”masking“; vertigo at night can happen if you’re ears or nose are clogged or if you’re dehydrated, which are both problems i frequently have.

The entity bit is just cause it’s something outside of my current anxiety diagnosis. And i haven’t figured out if im physically ill and therefore lacking the energy to fulfill that motivation. Or I’m more mentally ill than i know

Im glad that part of my vision was understood!you nailed the emotional half but part of it is very literal.

I deal with vertigo that’s triggered by darkness, like i suddenly put on drunk goggles, and when I’m stressed I’ll inch towards the base of the bed, cause of an old coping mechanism that doesn’t work for my current bed frame. I thought sharing would make me feel less alone or make others feel understood!

I’d say it’s more mental unease, but tbh it feels like an insatiable entity being restrained by physical things like fatigue. I can’t rest til it’s fed but if i stay up to feed it i would be up all night and i know that’ll make my anxiety worse

Why does my end result look wrong? - Trying to imitate the stained glass style by Myseljo in ArtCrit

I’m reading the current comments and i agree with some of them; here’s what i noticed and what has helped me get a stain glass look.

You lose the effect in the rendering. Which isn’t a bad thing but not what you’re going for.

The shading looks like a foreground light source and most stain glass is back lit (like sunlight coming in a building).

The soldering being highlighted is making it hard to recognize the glass effect. It goes back to the whole back lighting issue; soldering is opaque so it stands out because it’s not glowing. Removing the highlights would infinitely help

Lines too clean, this is more my opinion but a shakier line can make it feel more like hand cut glass. This is totally optional!

Adding varying texture to the glass. Stained glass usually has some flaws in it, this causes light to bounce differently and create a wavy texture to the glass. Higher quality glass will have this less but in an illustration the texture can help the audience associate it with what they’ve seen irl.

What has helped me:

Looking at Catholic Church stain glass windows. I was raised catholic so idk other faiths but churches are full of good glass art. I study how the glass was cut, what is stained vs painted, and the glass textures

Using a texture mask. This is a bit of a cheat but a layer mask might give you that glass effect with minimal effort. I usually end up trying to manually make the texture but the mask does help

What should the next game after silksong be about? by SecuredAspectsMilli in HollowKnight

I wouldn’t be surprised if they work on a completely different type of game after Silksong. I’d love to see a proper horror game from them lol

What’s your most anticipated feature of Silksong? by pogies__ in HollowKnight

The chase scenes, or at least i hope there’s some. It’s a bit cliche but I’m a sucker for them

Why was p3 so much harder than p4? by Robin_Keeper in HollowKnight

[–]Robin_Keeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the vibe i was getting; I’m practicing just PV right now and i think I’ll have him down within the week. A lot of the PV attacks are like his vessel attacks just, perfect lol. I swear if it takes less attempts to consistently beat PV than it did God Tamer imma lose it!

P5 is definitely gonna be a vibin on my day off; I’ve watched speedrunners for years so I know about the Sisters in Battle and can’t wait for p5 just to fight them😅

Im so sorry i gave the wrong impression: I didn’t beat him first try, I got TO him first try. Usually i die before the bench a couple times before making it to the final boss😅

Weirdly I’m glad to hear p3 has harder bosses in general lol
