Context! I used to make really tacky, big sets that had cute little borders. My favorite was a Jane set from Banana Chacha (I was a big fan of Momoland)

It was for a Pokemon non-event on OH.

So, to the absolute abyss that is H+ studio, I shall muse about the process. :christmasblob:

So, yesterday. Jiwoong posted a [suspiciously sensual] birthday live.

Since seeing the clips of him dropping everything on the table, I knew I would be picking the cream licking frames. The next question was the frame!

So I had a few thoughts but settled on the frosting around a circular frame. I remember practicing piping a few years ago and we did straight lines. Back during Valentine's I made a cake for the letters but felt like the assets could be improved upon so I made fresh cream and fruits in Blender.

So, the strawberry was harder than I thought? Not the shape as much as the pinches for the seeds. In the first version I filled the fruit with seeds but decided suggestion was more than enough. I still didn't get the texture of the strawberry just right, but I think I got a nice sheen on it. It just seems a bit too... velvety? I have an idea on how I could fix it, but this was for fun, so I am not too picky about it.

The cherry was easier, but I kind of sent myself in a circle with the stem, since I was set on making it green but realized a red stem made more sense.

The last was watermelon! Apparently it is Jiwoong's favorite. I could not get it at all. I just couldn't get the sheen to matte balance right.

It looks like meat or papaya to me? The more red I made it, the more it looked like meat. The more pink I made it, the more it looked like papaya. I did a few seeds but it just didn't look good enough to me. It came out matte enough at the top angle, though. I guess I was fine with it because I thought it was papaya when he was putting the watermelon on the cake, anyway. Maybe I should have gone more pink?

So, next step was to output the frames:

So you might notice that the square frame is a bit darker than the circle frames. It is because the light I had illuminating the creams was round, so it didn't touch all of the edges of the square frame. I actually think it looks nicer with the dark corners.

I think took the clips I liked, masked them into the right shape and gave them some coloring. I wanted to go for an old tumblr color leveling. I wanted to bring out the red, but the background might have pushed too much forward.

In the end I combined it all and exported!
:wow:
How do you like it?

How many times do I have to repeat the rules?

But really, thank you ❤️❤️❤️. In the past I've gotten the, very valid, critique that it is too much but I'm starting to realize that it's exactly what i like about making these ❤️❤️ thank you, you're so sweet 🫂

And I'm glad you enjoyed it! The process is usually a whirlwind of "i wonder if that's possible?" Lmao
