MY FELLOW FIBRO WARRIORS (and others who experience cognitive fog)
This product is so freaking cool. I got my pack at Papersource, I bet you can find them online. I know we all make lists, but really, how often do we check those lists? Not often enough.
It is the best goddamned thing you’ve seen all day.
Say hello to the Infinite Jukebox, an experiment in looping songs. See those curves cutting through the circle? What this bad boy does is analyze the song for similar beats and sounds, then randomly skips between said beats forever.
Yes, you heard me. Forever. With this piece of musical genius, you can literally play the same song for as long as you want – It will create the song that never ends.
If you’re an artist who likes to work really close, (like me), do yourself a favor and put up two views. You can do this by clicking View–> New on your toolbar.
There’s nothing worse than finally zooming out and realizing what you were doing was very wrong. This saved me a lot of grief tbh. I’m sure everyone knows this already but ._.;; I arrived quite late to that party.
WHAT
That’s amazing..
Does this work for Photoshop?
For Photoshop you’ll wanna go to Window > Arrange > New Window for [Document].
SO what do you do when your long wig becomes ridiculously tangled and shitty? YOU FIX IT.
After the the last con I went to my Yuno wig got pretty messed up and needed some serious TLC. So I gave it exactly that. Let me help you with your messed up wig too.
So I actually didn’t take any pictures of what I did before I started detangling, so here’s the run down of how I prepped it: I washed that bitch in lukewarm water with some special extension/wig shampoo and ran my fingers, then a wide toothed comb through it until it was somewhat alright. I then spritzed some leave in conditioner in it, rubbed it in, and hung it up to dry for a bit.
NOW ON TO THE REAL WORK. DO YOU SEE THIS TANGLED MONSTROSITY??? IT’S NOT GOOD. LETS FIX THAT.
The stuff I used to help me tame this beast was: -Satin Strands extension/wig shampoo -Got2B dry oil hair taming mist -Got2B glued freeze spray -A sobe for drink breaks -OGX Argan oil spray -Various sized brushes (large paddle brush, small wig brush, and a soft bristle brush) -and of course my hair straightener (I kept mine at a low-medium temperature but different straighteners can vary; on mine I set it at 4)
so the process I used went like this:
1. Separate it into parts as best you can; working with smaller chunks of hair is a hell of a lot easier.
2. pull apart the tangles and run your fingers through the part of hair you grabbed first.
3. BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH!!! (I started off with my large paddle brush, and moved to my little wig brush and just alternated like that until I got all the snarls and tangles out)
4. Now at this post no mater how much you brush it, your wig will still be frizzy and not super nice looking… SO what do we do? we straighten it.
5. once it’s nice and straight and you’ve taken out as much frizz as humanely possible, spray that bitch with some dry oil/argan oil/some kind of oil to tame the frizz and flyaways and keep it silky smooth.
6. Give it one last brush through to work in that oil and it should look a hell of a lot better now~
My wig looks a tad messy still at the end only because of its uneven cuts and due to the fact that I didn’t spend a lot of time combing it out a whole lot; I plan to restyle it and cut it a bit more (for yuno it’ll be in low pigtails so I’m not worried about it being super straight) but rest assured it is as silky smooth and tangle free as the day I bought it~
Feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt as I’m in no way a professional, just a fellow cosplayer trying to help out/make someone’s life a little easier if I can! I’m sure there are many more tutorials/guides on how to detangle and fix wigs out there, this is just my experience with the shitty process that it is.
As promised, you fine freaks, here are some tutorials for how I draw teeth, blood and drool. My three favourite things to draw. ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡
I hope that someone finds this helpful(I’ve written these thinking that those reading know a bit of basic photoshop), but if you have any questions then I’ll do my best to answer of course.
