It's really funny watching my GF drawin characters while I'm out here spending all my art power on bricks and shit. I have just fuckin ALWAYS loved drawing textures.

Really Roughly: 1: Line Art 2: Refining Line art by softening some edges, darkening some more, and highlighting selectively 3: Taking chunks of the image and varying their brightness/hue a bit to create variety 4: Overlay Texture (photo or painted) and make small hand drawn tweaks to satisfaction

There are more less less steps depending on the texture needs, but these are generally the steps I use for most things. You'll even see me use steps 2-5 a lot of photo sampled textures. Heres an example of 2 high res free textures I got and what I turned them into using this process.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Unnaturally making craters should be illegal, and I want to everyone at SpaceX including Musk to be held responsible. I don't care if this was a test gone wrong, they assaulted the closest celestial body to us.

This is going to be a slow burn story that gets people more and more angry the more they hear about it. Some asshole billionaires are blowing holes in the Moon, a thing everyone loves.
