Do you have heights for the DC characters, or at least a general lineup of them side-by-side?

There's some slight inaccuracies with colors and materials, since these were the very first concept models I made for the characters. But this is more or less an accurate height chart.

[cathulhulord]

The Amazing Digital Circus character height guesstimations for anyone who wants specific numbers B)

Because apparently I like to suffer /lhj

Other characters were guessed using PowerPoint, and based on Pomni being 160 cm, which I found here: https://fxtwitter.com/WWhenever123/status/1713896140863893642 (I couldn't find where they got this measurement but I haven't seen otherwise so ¯_(ツ)_/¯)

Does this count as headcanon? Idk have fun

Despite what you may have heard Bruce Wayne is not, in fact, a furry.

He is, however, very opinionated.

Saw this post earlier today

and it reminded me so so much of a frenrey fanfiction I read a few years ago to do with names in Black Mesa sweet voice. It was such a good fic, I loved how it explored the possibilities of an alien language that revolved around colour and sound

Anyway so the post and remembering the fic made me think about Grace doing a bunch of research into what different notes and tunes mean for Eridians, asking around and piecing together a string of notes that represent how he views his relationship with Rocky

then he gets help from Adrian or someone to whistle/hum the tune, practicing until he gets the pitch and inflection just right, even learning sheet music so he can write it down and not forget, before showing it to Rocky

[cathulhulord]

I found the frenrey fic I was remembering, it’s called sacred texts on post-it notes by Crowned_Ladybug on ao3, the third part of a series called carrot soup

So so so good, I enjoy it every time I read it

me hanging out with black people in the summer: “aye, yall don’t forget to put on sunscreen”

them:

@flipflibberinflippinghell

Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.

[angelic-tokkii-deactivated20220]

Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.

[jamaicanblackcastoroil]

Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.

[lo-cotidiano]

“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”

Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.

HAPPY 9TH ANNIVERSARY TO THESE DORKS IN PARTICULAR, SOMEHOW THEY JUST KEEP WINNING

It's kinda wild to think about how we went through a Mega-evolution arc in "El's Alolan Adventures" this year just for Legends ZA to tackle exactly what Guzma and El had been discussing and only for the DLC to drop MEGA GOLISOPOD *THREE DAYS* BEFORE THE COMIC'S ANNIVERSARY, WHAT THE HELL

AND HAU CAN HAVE A MEGA NOW TOO??? YOU GET A MEGA! AND YOU GET A MEGA! ALL OF TEAM ALOLA GETS A MEGA

Sadly it's too late to include the new forms in the current storyline, but I can very much show you how these two dorks would react upon seeing it for the first time 😂 THANKS FOR ALL THE MESSAGES BTW, it's really sweet y'all immediately thought of me upon seeing mega Golisopod for the first time ;w;

And thank you all so much for 9 wonderful years! :D The holidays are always super busy, so new updates will return in the new year. Thank you all so much for your incredible support and your godlike patience! ;w; Patreon | Webtoons | tumblr Masterpost

doodled some manticores... i meant to make them properly monstrous and scary but idk I think they're kinda cute now

"All monsters must die bloody, and by a hero's hands, and soon," he says over brunch.

He doesn't think it's a rude thing to say in front of a monster. There are no rude things to say to monsters, only rude things monsters say.

"Don't worry," she says between bites, "You're one of the good ones."

"But I am still a monster," I do not say. I do not say that I love my claws and teeth, my prehensile shadow and my glowing eyes. That I cannot imagine giving them up even for survival, that to hide my shadow and trim my claws for them makes me feel diminished. In public I cannot say that I do not wish to be human.

They're progressives, this bunch, even if he carries a hero's banner with its proud history and none of them ask him to put it away. They know there are good monsters, monsters who can speak eloquently and hold the fork right, monsters you can be seen with in public. Some of their best friends are monsters.

They do not know the monster who is invited to brunch knows solidarity with the monster who is not. Believes and understands the monster who is not invited more than the human who does the inviting.

"Isn't that a little harsh?" says a third human, and I have not forgotten I am outnumbered. "We have ways of killing monsters without blood now, painlessly. And, of course, a monster should be allowed to live if it never growls."

He has never seen me growl. Yet how loudly and endlessly I will, when I'm out of earshot. He's talking about killing monsters who cannot stoop to civility, about mother and brother and lover who were never able to mute themselves like me, and does he not know how small a child who can only growl is?

"To growl is not to kill," I say, and all heads turn toward me. It is one of those rude things monsters say.

they're cute

[palesweetdeeer]

Two fully rendered pieces in one week WHAT?!

anyway, I love alt/slight metal water boy and Flambae in leather pants. Also he's like those cats that beg for affection and then hiss when you pet them to me, so here he is, trying to pretend like he doesn't want kisses.

reference and some details I'm proud of under the cut!

Lila and her three parents:

[ID: Several doodles of Legoshi, Haru and Louis interacting with their daughter Lila, a dwarf rabbit and grey wolf hybrid. First drawing shows Legoshi with a shopping cart and list, carrying baby Lila in a front baby carrier. 

Second drawing features real photos of newborn wolves, rabbits and deer. Text reads: "Newborn rabbits and wolves: - blind, deaf, can’t walk. Newborn fawn: - can see, can hear, learns to walk within 30 minutes". Drawing shows Louis looking at a newborn Lila and saying: "Guys, I think our daughter might be disabled?" Haru, off-screen, responds: "Louis , she's a week old." More text on the image reads: "because society expects everyone to reproduce within their own kind, people are taught very little about other species’ babies".

Three more drawings show Haru with Lila at ages 0, 3 and 6. As a baby, Lila already looks big in Haru’s arms. At 3, Lila is way over half Haru’s size and Haru is visibly struggling to lift her up. By age 6, Lila is nearly as tall as Haru.

More sketches show baby Lila with all three of her parents. First sketch is labelled "with mommy" and shows her in Haru’s arms as someone off-screen says: "Oh, your baby is so big!" Second sketch is labelled "with daddy" and shows her in Legoshi’s arms as someone off-screen says: "Oh, your baby is so tiny!" Last sketch is labelled "with papa" and shows her in Louis’ arms as someone off-screen says: "Oh, your baby is—! Uh, is that your baby sir?" Louis says "Yes she is." as both he and Lila glare at the unseen person. /end ID]

oh yea, forgot to post my teeth man tutorial

For those struggling on how to draw Caine, here’s how I do it (explained to the best of my ability) :D

Of course, his teeth can be a lot more detailed than what I drew, but this was mainly for people struggling to draw his head shape lol

[kiwiqueen13]

Feel like this is IMPERATIVE for other artists struggling to draw Caine, I am obligated to reblog
