Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.
Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!
This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!
{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}
I noticed in the comments that some people can’t see the thread, so I took screenshots for y'all!
More will come in reblogs, since tumblr has an image limit

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back
additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you
useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)
here are more terms! these are all from enérie. it is a really good blog that has lots of fashion terminology and it's a good mix of menswear and womenswear! they also have a book as well compiling all their diagrams. you could also look into getting a visual fashion dictionary for terms as well!

You know that scene in Crystalized when Lloyd and Harumi are falling from the Oni temple? I know we all were like "hey this is callback to the building Harumi was on that Lloyd couldn't save her from but now he can save her" but also consider the scene this way.
Lloyd and Harumi falling from the Oni Temple into primeval's eye parallels the first time they fell into primeval's eye. The first time they fell, it was due to Harumi's manipulation. She hacked into Pixal, causing the attack that lead to her and Lloyd falling to Primeval's Eye. The second time they fall, though, it's due to Lloyd. Harumi dragged Lloyd away from his friends, Lloyd dragged Harumi away from the Overlord and the Crystal council.
The first time they fell, the two fall separately. Harumi's protected by the Samurai X suit, Lloyd leaves her to ensure his own safety. The second time, they fall together. They cling to each other, they don't separate.
Harumi needed Lloyd the first time they fell. She needed him to get the Mask of Hatred. She needed Lloyd the second time too, just in a different way. Harumi spent the first portion of Crystalized with Lloyd kidnapped trying to get Lloyd on her side. She wanted darkness to consume him, because then that makes her right. She was trying to prove that she was right, that darkness is stronger than light by corrupting THE hero who, in her eyes, is the personification of light. If Lloyd succumbs to darkness, then Harumi was right, then she made the right choice.
I think the scene that parallels the building scene in S9 is that final shot of the Oni temple, after the final battle against the Overlord. Just like before, it's Harumi, Lloyd, and Garmadon. The temple is falling, it's crumbling around them. Unlike the building though, Harumi isn't afraid to die, she wants to. She just found out she basically just sided with her parents murderer. She saw Lloyd turn into an oni and then bring himself back. She saw in real time that she was wrong, she was wrong about everything, and she wants to die now. Just like in S9, Harumi's delusion broke, but it's different now then it was then. This time she doesn't look for help, she accepts her fate. But Lloyd's there, unlike how he was in S9. He's there and he can save her now, and he does. He chooses to save her when he couldn't then. This was his second chance.
will post Ditto content right after this but LOOOK!!! all these alien designs are so adorable! this also proves cutesy stuff has a place in the comic world! do not give up hope truthers!!
today's Daily Dose of Ditto comes from his appearance in the Top Trumps card game, sporting VERY mediocre stats compared to the rest of the set. they did him so dirty.

random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google
I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.
also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo
also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)
Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in case…
i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:
Search Engines
Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy
DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)
WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.
Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.
Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.
Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines.
Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted.
Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy.
Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.
Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden.
MetaGer offers “Privacy Protected Search & Find” through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.
Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching.

https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results.
https://www.mojeek.com/
https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites.
https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.
https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.
https://yep.com/ is a crawler
https://www.etools.ch/ retrieves from Google, Mojeek, Bing, and Yandex, like Searx

One thing I really liked about Lloyd’s characterization in the llorumi debacle is that he actually treats Harumi with a lot of hostility and anger after her betrayal but to himself and after her “death” he’s really feeling sorrow for her.
