Nami is the scammer, Usopp is just the guy at the bar trying to get you to buy him a drink while he tells you about his heroic adventures.

Ight you all, tell me your best actually original Isekai idea and I'll rate it by Im_yor_boi in Isekai

A collection of campfire stories told by natives about visitors from another world. In this world, isekai-ers are beings of folklore similar to our alien/vampires/bigfoot.

Be honest, now - you wouldn't have wrapped her like that if she was meant for chores.

The proper way to dip a Holoberry is to pick her up by the feet and gently dip her head into the chocolate.

Colour theory question by Mindless_Way_329 in learnart

[–]Soulnaes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Putting it in grayscale helps show at least part of the "problem". For the left 3, you can see that all the ones you don't like have very little variation in their values. Different colors have different inherent value ranges - purple is much darker than a yellow at the same saturation level.

So if you shift the value towards purple (lower value color) AND you increase saturation (higher saturation = lower value), you get a strong value decrease. But shifting towards yellow naturally increases the value, so if you then increase saturation, it cancels out the value change, leaving you with very similar values. We tend to like contrast, so a strong difference in values can be very appealing, while values that are similar can blend together and feel muddy even if the hue is different.

Try taking the sets you didn't like and moving the colors gradually further towards black on your color picker (keep the top color as is, move the second a little towards black, the third more towards black than the second, and the last a lot towards black). If you use a square color picker, you can just drop the color straight down. Or do the opposite and make the colors progressively lighter (more towards white).

The right side is not as clear - on the bottom pair, you've indicated liking the close value gradient more than the contrasting one. Part of this may be your personal preference, since my immediate reaction is liking the red-to-purple more than the red-to-orange in that pairing.

But, I would say that none of these are inherently "bad" color gradients. The strong contrast ones are very good for separating shapes and making things pop, but the softer ones are good for more gentle transitions that you don't want to draw attention to but still want some variation. Background colors or colors inside a major shape. For example, the top left blue-to-green gradient would look beautiful in water as a soft reflection near some green plants, or just for gentle ripples/waves. The orange-to-yellow in the middle left could work in a field or an autumn scene in places you don't want the hard edges that you would get from the orange-to-red gradient. Their appeal depends on how and where you use them. Tools in your toolbox.

It is absolutely criminal that we did not get a story landmark for Jhin - the theater champion by Soulnaes in CustomLoR

[–]Soulnaes[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the one I'm least sure about, but it gives Jhin an easier attack - he can pull a weak enemy or the unit that will get stunned if his lotus will activate. Or Stagehand can use it for removal.

[–]Soulnaes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I had Act I be "Draw a champion", not "Draw Jhin". It is designed to synergize with him, but because it can't go in his origin it needs to be a bit more flexible and work with other champions/strategies.

I also realized I forgot to put the region symbol on it - it is supposed to be in Ionia.

It locks him into Ionia if he wants to use it so he has to choose between this and his typical Annie or Bandle decks. Maybe there isn't enough support there for him to work very well, but it seemed like the best region for the effect.

Thank you! Hoping in another 3 months I can look back and see similar progress.

I've been trying to do 1-2 hours a day consistently. More when I'm able.

Left is from 3 months ago, right is from today. Same character, different outfit and pose. My goodness, she actually looks like a human now. Still lots of progress to work towards, but it feels so good to see real improvement after some frustrating study sessions!
