His name is still being decided, but everyone I know has unanimously decided I should keep to the name "Mana" but he is yet lacking a surname - He's a dragon that lives on the moon and is fuelled by hopes n dreams. His hoard is a sizely mountain of games he hasn't played yet, and he wants to share his journey playing his way through his collection.

My original design is being retired.

I cant wait to show off the new boy. I'm nearly done with the art & cutting stage.

Last year I said I would participate in Art Fight this year; Due to their brand new very strict Anti-3D-Art rules that stop us from using our own 3D assets, I am going to be boycotting the challenge until these judgmental rules are ammended to allow for self-made assets to be used.

I'm not stealing anything by using the skills I am currently in 100k of student debt for. I created my *own* poseable body models in my art style to improve my workflow speed for use in CSP, and we cant even use those... Models I have in my portfolio and use a LOT for bases on my contracted work.

With great anger,

"But siggy you know how to draw, just draw!"

Thats not the fucking point. Myself, and many artists are being barred from using an entire *chunk* of our skillset because its supposedly cheating.

Go, make a 3D model, UV it and then texture it by your self in Blender and tell me if that's cheating/easy. I'll wait.

I'll bet my entire lump sum of student debt that it's not.

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!

[misslunarose]

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}

[obi-mom-kenobi]

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

You know how long I've been looking for something like this!?

To any sketch artist out there too.

[Image ID: a black woman wearing a plaid shirt and red bandana around her head. Her braided hair is coming out of the top od her head and falling in front of her. Text says "Did you know there's a black-owned stock photo company nappy.co that provides stereotype-free images of black people" /end]

[dragonwolfcrane]

the other day i was trying to find reference images of black people for art things but all i was finding were black-and-white images of white people! love this!!

[sonofnjobu]

Also! They accept submissions. If you’re a photographer and want to contribute, the button is on the bottom left of the webpage.

Aw heck yeah!!

It is important to remember that as far as art history goes, that it is patently untrue that realism only became humanly possible with the development of linear perspective in Europe thanks to Brunelleschi (a commonly repeated myth in lower division art education), and that examples of artistic realism as we know it today has long existed in many, much older art traditions. West African arts cultures are a great example to work off of. (i.e. Yoruba)

This Yoruba bust (or Ife Head) is dated to the 12th-14th centuries.

This misunderstanding also deeply, unfortunately, and inaccurately mischaracterizes traditional arts in African cultures as being “less developed” for being more stylized, as if they cannot figure out realism due to difficulty (lmao?), which simply is not the case.

I don’t often make original posts like this, but I’ve rarely seen this addressed outside of art history land, and it really bothers me!!!

Ok the US Attorney General says that she will remove ICE if MN drops all our sanctuary laws, complies with ICE, hands over all our SNAP, Medicaid and voter rolls. They demand control over our voter registration so they can "ensure free and fair elections".

They want to control our elections.

I am dead serious people call your representatives. Get volunteering. Get protesting. Get LOUD.

They released a letter full of straight up lies. Spread the truth. MAKE NOISE.

How interesting. How very interesting. They rejected my Blaze of this post.

Well, y'all. Make of this what you will, eh?

[a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark]

Then I guess we'll just have to Blaze it the old fashioned way, eh?

Boosting signal. AGAIN.

Something that always bothers me is the artist vs stem thing. Because in reality they're often blurred together. Like take one of my favorite artists Delia Derbyshire, the producer of the original doctor who theme, her degree was in both mathematics and music and would often chart out her music on graph paper.

[polarity-disturbed]

Idk if this helps anyone else but the font for the POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX on the TARDIS is the font Gill Sans with the POLICE and BOX parts having -51 Letter Spacing and 1.72 Line Spacing, and the CALL BOX part has 172 Letter Spacing and 0.81 Line Spacing

PSA: if you draw people who aren't stick thin, you should probably block isuggestagfetishcontent, who is an idiot who wouldn't know fetish content if it bit them on the ass and will accuse you of aphobia if you argue with them

self portrait 26. This year is my twenty-sixth orbit around the sun. It deserved a self-portrait to commemorate. I originally posted this on main @sigmarette. It didn't get much attention, and I'm too lazy to scroll for it to find it and reblog it so I'm reposting it instead. Apologies for my laziness.

[bakedpolygon]

off-loading art pieces I didn't originally want to post to tumblr #1 My fursona, Mana, was redesigned a few weeks ago. I really liked how this one turned out- it took me a couplea days. what a nice butt

I wish I had the opportunity to make character references for other people- I really enjoy this sort of work.

Miss Smith Doesn't Miss.

On purpose, I set this up at the correct size for a print that's 11" (27.94cm) x 17" (43.18cm) It's time that I start posting my best work.
