rain world tip! put a softer contrasting light source coming from the opposite direction of your main light source. do it
it helps you define your shapes better. makes sure nothing gets too lost in darkness
and it makes your colors more vibrant
having a lot of one color and a little bit of a contrasting color makes everything better. ok.

Actually let's make a separate post for this one. Look at this piece of official rain world art.

Promo art for Rain World. It is a sea green landscape of abandoned and overgrown metal. A slug cat with its back to us looks up a distant pink lizard.

It's sick af it might be my favorite rw piece. So I'm gonna ramble about technical art stuff that it does that I think is neat.

First let's look at the layout. It's got a very distinct foreground middle ground background layering that you can break down like this

A simple recreation of the piece in silhouette. There is the slugcat and its surroundings all entirely black, a gray layer behind that of more scenery, and a white background. The layers represent the foreground, middle ground, and background.

With these layers you can put a lot of Stuff in the background without any of the important parts getting lost. If you look at any small section of the piece you'll see Ten Billion wires, plants, metal sticking out, shadows, anything and everything. But since it's all grouped together on the same layer, it sorta fades into the background as Background and you don't lose the main shapes.

The scant use of purple/pink is also very neat. The purple is eye catching. The artist wants you to look at the purple stuff. But some of it isn't important at all, like the curling plants - they aren't supposed to be looked at directly, exactly, but they still lead the eyes around where they're wanted.

The piece with purple pen drawn over it, circling each example of purple in the piece. There are arrows sweeping from the top left to bottom right, then from bottom right to top right, representing how the viewer's eye sweeps across the piece.

Your eye goes from the pink lizard at the top to the dragonslayer symbol to the slugcat, where it lingers for a moment, framed by the purple plants, then you eventually follow the plants and the pole up, the chain left, back to the lizard. The path your eye is supposed to follow is highlighted for you.

Okay last thing I want to talk about. The thing the tags at the beginning of the post actually mention. The secondary light source.

The piece annotated with white and pink arrows showing where the light is coming from. White light comes from the top left, while pink light comes from the bottom left, highlighting the slugcat's back.

It's pink yeah like I was saying about eye movement. But also. It defines the slugcat. Look at this edited version without the pink light.

The piece edited to take away the pink light.

The tail gets lost. The foot gets lost. The slugcat becomes part of the scenery instead of the focus. The intended focus is so much more boring to look at then the little lizard.

So yeah I'm obsessed with rain world art I'm obsessed with this piece in particular. Study it and break it down ok <3

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

"ohh my god you can't just-"

Am I yours to command? Does the collar 'round my neck have your name on it? I kneel to no king nor god, and I see no crown on you.

baker: the warmth of the oven always felt like comfort. i liked the heat, the smell, even when i wasn't baking anything. now, no matter what i bake or put in there, i can never get rid of that smell. it was two years ago, if i remember correctly. i was rolling out a new batch of bread loafs. have you ever baked bread before? they say that kneading the br
