Jak skutecznie zostawić ptakom wodę żeby chciały się napić?

Właśnie wystawiłam trochę wody w plastikowej misce bo zobaczyłam jak biedne drepczą tylko w tym cieniu z otwartymi dziobkami. Ale jak na razie nie chcą wcale się napić. Jeden podszedł trochę do tej miski jakby się bał, i zaraz odszedł. Chyba boją się samego materiału i nie widzą że tam jest woda. Jakieś inne pomysły?

Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun

Appreciating volume 10 again, acknowledging the Peak 🙌

u/maxluision — 7 days ago

Trying to achieve an analog result digitally

The inking brush is Kuro Ink with extra texture (probably a bit too much, but it's just a matter of preference and playing around with the brush' settings). I add Noir filter in Snapseed (you can use any other app with filters if you don't like Snapseed), and then in my default photo editor I raise contrast to 20 and I add another "flower" filter on 40. The result looks much more like a scan of a traditionally made drawing, I think.

(It's a redraw from Trigun manga page)

Maybe we need a separated sub for Stampede and Stargaze

Just an idea I got recently. I feel like even though this sub in the rules specifically says "no version wars", it seems like such wars are unavoidable in the current state of this sub. So I thought, maybe a sister sub dedicated to the new anime would help in solving this issue?

Right now, I think I won't speak only for myself when I'll say I feel rather very hesitant to be in any way active here (as someone who appreciates all versions), even though there's so many things I would want to share or discuss about. Every content relating to Stampede or Stargaze apparently gets quite a lot of downvotes and/or passive-agressive comments, sometimes some really heated arguing happens, all of this is pretty discouraging. It seems to me like it really doesn't work too well for those who just want to appreciate whatever version they prefer and share with their positive thoughts and feelings about these versions.

So, maybe we should consider creating a second sub? Or maybe it would be too troublesome, since the fandom as a whole isn't too big anyway... Idk, I just wanted to throw this idea and see what you think - if you'd like to see such a separation, or if you're happy with how the community feels like currently.

Moje "nie" nie jest akceptowane w pracy

36K. Sama już nie wiem co mam inaczej zrobić żeby przestano na mnie naciskać w kwestii dołączania do spotkań integracyjnych. Za kazdym razem jest o to wielki ból tyłka, że nie chcę być obecna. To zresztą nie tylko ja, bo właśnie rozmawiałam z inną koleżanką i ona też mówi że nie chce, i też na nią naciskają żeby przyszła. Tylko ja i ona byłybyśmy jedynymi kobietami w całym tym spotkaniu.

Mam wrażenie że gdyby którykolwiek z szanownych panów powiedział że nie może być na tym spotkaniu, to nie byłoby dyskusji tylko od razu byłoby to zaakceptowane. Ale gdy ja i ta druga koleżanka mówimy że nie chcemy, że nie możemy, to nasze "nie" jest ignorowane, pod płaszczykiem "przyjaźni". Mam wrażenie że tu chodzi o to że byłybyśmy "atrakcją" towarzystwa jako jedyne kobiety obecne i dlatego tak się na nas naciska, nawet jeśli robią to nieświadomie...

To nie jest impreza obowiązkowa, i osobiście po prostu nie interesują mnie takie spotkania bo przychodzę do pracy po to tylko żeby odpracować co swoje i mieć resztę czasu dla siebie, a integruję się wystarczająco w czasie pracy, i nie potrzebuję więcej. Poza tym, w takich sprawach nie ma nawet obowiązku podawania przyczyny odmowy. Tak samo jak z braniem dnia urlopowego.

Czy wy też doświadczacie takich nacisków w pracy, i takiego lekceważenia waszej odmowy? Czy to może bardziej wynika z tego że w mojej pracy zdecydowanie dominują liczbowo mężczyźni? Jak mam dać do zrozumienia że moje "nie" jest bezdyskusyjne, żeby nie wyszło że niby jestem po prostu wredna?

Edit: pogadałam chwilę ze zmianowym i jest raczej wyrozumiały, może nie będzie tak źle :p ale szkoda generalnie że tak mało kobiet tu pracuje, nie czułabym się tak bardzo jak na świeczniku

This is definitely NOT Geostorm, then what else can it be?

Is this AI generated, or some bootleg? I watched most of it, annoyed at how shitty it is, then abandoned it, but after watching CinemaSins video about the real Geostorm I realized these are two completely different movies. Please someone enlighten me, I'mso confused...

I will need an editor

Please read the whole text before commenting, and thanks for your interest in advance!

I'm working on my oneshot Winter Core and I'm finishing dialogues and sketches. I'll probably finish it to the end of this month. But the thing is, I'm not a native English speaker. I know that I still make quite a lot of mistakes that I'm not aware of. And I also would like to finish this oneshot and make it available for printing, or at least try since I never self-published anything on Amazon before... So I would really want to make sure the dialogues have no spelling or grammatical mistakes, and sound naturally to native speakers.

So I would want to make it clear that in the near future, I'll need an editor who is a native speaker, preferably an American because the story happens in the US. Obviously, not someone who would just use chatgpt or any other generative tools, just a person who can naturally tell where dialogues need to be changed and how.

I would want to offer a payment (PayPal), though I can't probably pay much because where I live a dollar is worth quite a lot, but I want to offer some amount (+the person's name would be included as an editor in the credits if they would want to).

Edit: I think my budget can reach up to 200$, for 64 pages. Not sure if this is a lot or not because idk yet how many words I'll have in the oneshot in total. I'd prefer the manga pages itself to be reviewed, not a script.

Again, I'm not looking for this RIGHT NOW, but I will in near future, so for now, if anyone is interested, you can reach me through dms and we may start talking about details. I'll choose only one person, after some talking and making sure the cooperation would be effective. I'd love it especially if it would be another artist, too.

Here's a sketched page with dialogues as an example. Drawings may still change quite a lot, especially some more complicated designs, but I wouldn't want to change the paneling. The whole thing would have 64 pages, some pages much more wordy than others.

I consider seriously the possibility of turning this oneshot's concept into a full story (not a manga series, a graphic novel in manga style having smth around 300-700 pages in total), so if things will go well, I may reach out for help again in next few years.

Thanks for reading again!

A test panel to figure out detailed screentoning without moiré effect

So I think I know now how to easily avoid moiré effect without worrying about screentones getting too detailed. If you'd like to know, here's how: I just in general recommend downloading Snapseed app for various effects and filters. Nothing ai generative here, as far as I found out.

All I do is that I upload a finished drawing (ie the panel here) and I choose Noir filter. First two options are on 0, the noise is around 15-20 and the last one is not more than 30. And that's all, it gets rid of any moiré, so you can just go more detailed with screentones in this way I believe. The overall effect also gets this less digital look in this way. I'll keep testing this solution for more complex drawings.

The drawing is my oc from a oneshot I worked on, I'll be back to working on it very soon.

Unpopular opinion?

The whole FMA franchise was my number 1 for the last 10+ years, I thought nothing will ever come close to it, nothing will ever "scratch the itch" in this very special way again. But after just reading first 14 or 15 chapters of Trigun I had to rethink my opinion. There's so many similarities between the two, and in terms of "themes and such" I feel like Trigun is a lot like "seinen FMA". Plus, pacifism of Edward doesn't stand a chance against pacifism of Vash.

I'm lowkey bored of all these teenagers being main characters now tbh

I found someone's interesting claims written on Youtube a month ago... BS or not?

To be clear, I don't and won't use X/Twitter. But I know that Nightow is apparently very active there, and talks a lot about everything Trigun related, at least that's what I heard. Anyone here who follows Nightow and knows if he was ever making such claims?

Unless the person talked about Stargaze director here but said "manga" for some reason? But then, no way the director would talk about 2d animation...

So... I survived Multiple Bullets.

I'm sorry, I know for most people here it's probably old news but I need to talk about Multiple Bullets 💀

What kind of a prompt do you think all the participants besides Nightow got? "Please, go as feral as possible"?

But from the very beginning.

Nightow's story, of course the best, 10/10, recommend. Loved the action, love Vash and Wolfwood, would happily read thousands of pages all about their crazy everyday shenanigans. Idk what's about the way this guy shows action, but even though realistically speaking it's obvious nothing bad should happen here, I'm always nervous when I see Vash in distress. The illusion of high stakes is always strong here, I was on the edge of my seat. A tiny nitpick only about how quickly the story concludes. But it's MUCH better than what the movie shows, imo.

And here goes the rest.

I was so excited to see Boichi's entry but WHAT THE HELL. This is so wacky... The art is technically impressive, some stand-alone shots of Vash especially in this crazy artstyle are pretty cool, backgrounds are great but that's all of good things I can say here... What's with all these boob-ass shots 😭I get it was supposed to be funny but it was way too excessive, it killed the humor. The story itself also made zero sense. Didn't like it, disappointed.

The next story is the most forgettable one, just totally new ocs discussing the dilemma of "if humans should live or be destroyed". Quite cute but didn't feel like a lot was happening here. The least feral of feral entries here, at least.

Les enfants is my favorite entry after Nightow's story, it's a cute fairytale recap of Trigun until a certain thing happens, and I like how Vash and Wolfwood were drawn together at the end. This one felt like actual serious and wholesome homage to the source material. Nostalgic.

The chapter about Milly and Meryl TV show was the funniest in a good way chapter here, and I love every panel of it. The humor is great! But it quickly went feral, no wonder Vash ran away 🤣 I liked how Wolfwood was included here lmao, and how we could see so many characters reacting to the unhinged show. Felt almost like canon events after the end of the manga, could easily imagine some of this stuff actually happening.

Then the chapter with Raijin, similar to Boichi's, it's so over the top and edgy, less horny but with some really messed up ideas. The samurai guy was for me one of the least interesting characters, and the backstory didn't really change my opinion. "So edgy it turns your brain off" kind of deal.

AAAND the first place for the wackiest entry goes to the Ericks one, this was the funniest shit I've ever read 🤣🤣🤣 I was laughing my ass off at almost every single page and panel. Absolutely glorious. I want my braincells back. I love it and I hate it.

And at the very end we can see a bunch of cool, cute and funny mini pins drawn by various creators celebrating the Badlands movie, these are fun.

Overall, the most chaotic manga anthology I've ever seen, and I could've ever imagine. Why, WHYYY Boichi 💀 This is totally not what I expected. But I'm happy I've read some of these entries. It was such a messy experience for me. Idk if I would want to buy the book, for half of it sure but couldn't care less about the Boichi and the Raijin chapter entries tbh.

Just started to read Multiple Bullets and loving it ofc, BUT...

...The one immortal question keeps coming back to me.

Why is this man hating drawing speech bubbles' tails SO MUCH???

It's such a non-issue to make sure every bubble has a tail, and it would save up so much confusion for readers, but Nightow is like "nah" for some mysterious reason. The whooole manga is done and he still ignores it.

Ofc at this point it's not a big problem for me to figure out who says what, but I had to get used to it first, and it should be just for the sake of convenience to make sure there's no unnecessary frustration for readers.

Did anyone ever ask him about it?

At this point I feel like he does it purely out of spite 😂

Mam bardzo niszowe pytanie o mangę

Witajcie, sprawa jest taka że od około miesiąca szaleję za mangą Trigun. Z góry założyłam że nigdy nie było opublikowanej polskiej wersji ale dopiero co odkryłam że pierwsze tomy mangi były przetłumaczone w 2010 roku i zebrane w jednym dużym tomie. Problem jest taki że nigdzie nie mogę go znaleźć do kupienia! Znalazłam tylko jedno ogłoszenie na Allegro z używanym tomem w bardzo dobrym stanie, ale obawiam się że to może być już nieaktualne. Jest jakikolwiek cień szansy żeby gdzieś ten tom znaleźć? Myślę o kupieniu DE po angielsku ale oczywiście że byłoby lepiej gdybym miała choć początek po polsku.

Zdjęcie jest z tego jedynego ogłoszenia które niby jest wciąż aktualne

What was the very first moment in the manga that made you cry? For me it was the chapter called "Colorless Expression".

Did you ever notice this detail change in Stampede?

During Vash' "I'm Vash the Stampede" speech, his wanted poster says only Alive, not Dead or Alive. I watched this whole scene like 10 times already and only now I noticed... intentional or not, that's cute :3
