Blinday

22 years old, virtual parent of like, 5? idek anymore.The internet minors must be protected - and sometimes they need a safe bad influence. That is a service I can provide; I've been in my villain era since 2022 (aka I frame self care as evil so my brain feels powerful doing it). I'm full of bullshit 24/7. I've been doing more art lately, but I mostly joke around and enjoy stuff. I'm just doing my best and am always open to change my mind on things.

[blinday]

Welcome to my page!

This is my general fandom sideblog. This is my TMNT sideblog. This is my Gravity Falls sideblog. This is my Knights of Guinevere/The Amazing Digital Circus sideblog.

Call me Blinday, I invented the name and am pretty proud of it, but I also go by Lavanda or Blin or Billy or Beendy. I'm a woman and it's impossible to misgender me, I simply do not care enough about people's opinions to be happy or mad about what they refer to me as.

I like what I like, and I also don't care if you think that's wrong. I will inflict my dumbassery on everyone within fixed range. I hyperfixate on random things and unless I make a specific sideblog for them they will be inflicted upon ye through this blog.

I tend to disappear at random times and then come back with like 100+ reblobs, but I WILL pop up outta nowhere if given an ask. I have 2 amazing kids, Spoons and Possum ( @meowcitymotherfucker and @roabythecow ) that I adopted "formally" (i signed on my phone lol) through tumblr. I also have mentally adopted a few others in my head. I'm kinda like, if a baby duck never stopped imprinting on stuff???

UPDATE, one more kid formally (not really) acquired. Bickle! (Baby Pickle. I am a genius with puns stfu. This is da babey!!! @pickledoesthetumbling She likes spam like my reblogs and I love to see them in my notifs.

Important notes:

Catholic.

I am kinda the avatar of shipping. Like you'll find me on almost every side of a ship war, bc I don't really care enough to be part of it.

I'm not anti of anything in particular, don't feel like I'm in position to judge people based on tastes. You do you bro. I'm also into some good ol' debauchery sometimes. If you want, here are my thoughts about proshipping.

I absolutely ADORE to get asks and respond to them bc asks are the best way to ramble- and like. They always give me motivation to WRITE STUFF DOWN!!!

Even if you're an asshole anon, I don't mind. Just don't count on a serious response. Also if nobody responds, I WILL take it as victory. You do not matter to me enough to make me mad, but your rage does make me feel powerful.

Sometimes I post art. I can't promise it'll be consistent or always good though lol

Collecting certificates like they're pokemon. After years or dissociating in school and proceeding to never try studying new things after that, I discover I LIKE to study??? Baffling.

I have like 5 sideblogs? And like 3 accounts bc i didnt know how to make a sideblog back then. They just pop up every now and again to see art from cool ppl who blocked this account. And to keep an eye on my enemies /j

Thats pretty much it. Don't take me too seriously, because I will certainly not take you lol. It's tumblr. I might respect the person who holds the opinion, but if the opinion is fuckin' stoopid I'm not gonna pretend it isn't– I won't go out of my way to be mean tho.

VIP member of the Jerk Ford AU Hate club, nominated personally. I am very proud of it. Look at it:

Pretty cool, huh? Very cool.

This is the masterpost for my BloodyMary AU that I update every now and then! It's just scripts that could potentially be explored through multiple chapters, but I'm like, impatient af and decided to just write it as it happens in my brain to at least build the habit.

I am also trying to start a comic project called The Gold and Black Knight, which is a story about a former villain and an ex child bride (only the bride part, she very much is still a child) embark on a journey to save the Mourning Kingdom. It's supposed to be a comedy, but I love them dearly.

Okay I also have another project again. I think. I am gonna have to make a masterpost for my original stuff lmao

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Boosting this in case any of the programs and books suggested are useful.

All the photos on this tumblr ad the animal photo reference site I run is another resource available for artists to use!

As long as you’re not using AI to create your art, you can reference / trace / draw / recombine / make any sort of art you want, with any of the photos, for free.

[reo-speeddragon]

There's also MORPHO, a really good book series on anatomy by Michel Lauricella, with very clear explanations and sketches!

And for pose references, there's @adorkastock who shares a ton of them for free, with different models and props, and her website is amazing <3 you can also buy pose packs from her.

[haysey-draws]

Boosting as these free resources are how i learnt to draw. My GCSE art teacher told me i had no future in art and to stop 'wasting his time' with my imagination, which killed my passion for drawing for close to decade! I have NO art training, only what i have learnt from other artists online.

If i can learn you can too!

[lesbianshepard]

one of the funnier incidents of me assuming someone knew a meme irl was when a new coworker was talking about some woman who got arrested for tax fraud and I went "God forbid women do anything" and he got scared and thought I was accusing him of being sexist, so he started apologizing and saying how tax fraud isn't even bad, actually.

[sweeneydino]

Once again.

[lana-is-reading]

i live! here's part 3 🎉

(working on this again after having to rush to finish work for finals has been a balm on my weary soul, but also i feel slightly insane bc i was tired of drawing and i am recovering by drawing🧎)

How does nooroo feel about Tom in your villian dad au?

After initial introductions, Tom basically thinks Nooroo is a figment of his imagination and a testament to his mind crumbling from the grief of losing Sabine. Nooroo gets an inside look on what really matters to tom, though

Tom uses the butterfly miraculous not for himself, but for the benefit of his daughter. The vengeance he's trying to take on "Hawkmoth" isn't quite as simple as "you're responsible for the death of my wife," it stems from a very, very different source - which makes Nooroo more sympathetic to helping him.

He's still not thrilled, but, Marinette and Tom are so kind to him, he really can't find it in himself to complain.

[bigfatbreak]

For the Viceroy AU, how does Tom figure out Gabriel was the one responsible?

[bigfatbreak]

You mentioned that Marinette's help in the garden helps synchronize Tom and Nooroo. Is that because Marinette is bonding with Nooroo and helping him thrive or because the Akumas are thriving with all the flowers to feed on, or third thing?

its because tom and nooroo both wuv marinette and do what they do just for her <3 so their intent aligns

the power of Marinette's wub-wuv.....

[bigfatbreak]

you have such a talent for drawing characters looking haggard, exhausted, and on the verge of crying. i really feel for adrien in that first meeting comic

he gets help at least!!

[bigfatbreak]

everyone: what happens next at the gala! me, following Miraculous' iconic episode schedule: now lets see how Adrien and Marinette met!!

[bigfatbreak]

Hear me out... Viceroy on the Feralnette au artstyle? 👁👁

big man with big plans

warmup of dad villain marinette trying to fix her dad's fumbles (ends up doing villain shit at the same time as bakery shit leads to a lot of finger flubbing)
