Any fellow Glitchen out there?
I always cry myself to sleep when I make this mistake but a friend recently taught me how to do this and it blew my mind so I thought I would share with you guys.
Uuuuuuh reblogging this to save LIVES
god i could have used this the other day. >:(
*tears*
Hoo boy, right on the tail end of Wondercon and it’s already time for Emerald City Comicon up here in Seattle! I’ll be sharing Booth #1006 in the south hall with the lovely @justinoaksford, so please feel free to swing by and say hi! He’ll have new comics, I’ll have my new sketchbook - we aim to please. :)
I’m also doing a panel this year with @aidanrae and @hummeline called Remixes, Mashups, and Reimaginings: Transformative Creativity in Pop Culture:
Artists have been remixing and reworking the media they consume since there was media to consume – but, like good fusion cuisine, there’s an art to doing it well. How do you combine or reimagine properties in a way that transcends and elevates the source material? From blogging to character design to cosplay, join panelists Claire Hummel (Bioshock Infinite, Fable Legends), Aidan Vitti (Quarry, Twin Peaks), and Emily Hummel (Arrested Westeros) to talk about the do’s and don’t’s of remix culture. Sunday | 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM | Room T305
Pretty sure it is going to be a BLAST. See you guys in a couple days,
Signal boosting because Claire herself is as wonderful a person as she is an artist, and you should totally check out her booth and panel if you’re planning on attending!
The process of Amira’s bust as saved in layers.
Ooh, this is so neat! Thank you for sharing - I love getting to see different artists’ processes.♥️
Oh awesome! Thanks for sharing your steps! :D

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
(save the images to zoom in on the pics)
Oooh this is fantastic!
I was going to wear my rainbow socks today but I could only find one. This must be how dragona-arts feels all the time.
Every day of my life. T_T
Heck, I once had a pile of twenty-five of my daughter’s socks and not a single one matched. I don’t even know how that’s possible unless I’ve been sleepwalking and eating them in the middle of the night.
Eventually I just gave up on matching socks and decided my daughter and I could attempt to bring back the Punky Brewster look all by ourselves.

OH. MY. GOD.
I promised Lissa that I would take some process photos of how I draw rocks, because it is widely known that LISSA TREIMAN CAN’T DRAW ROCKS apparently, and so here they are! It’s no video tutorial, but it’s something. :)
So drawing rocks is kinda different from drawing other stuff. What I love about drawing rocks is that they’re abstract, but they’re abstract with their own logic and history to them. Rocks look the way the do for a reason- sediments, erosion, eruption, human foot traffic, what have you- and it’s important to suss out those reasons while you’re drawing them. Sometimes you know why rocks look the way they do (maybe you are intimately familiar with the Colorado plateau, I don’t know your deal), but a lot of the time it’s up to you to silently observe trends and features in the rock that speak to a grander system.
Learning geology is gonna seriously boost your rock-drawing skills. At Bryce Canyon (technically an amphitheater or pothole!), you’re staring at the Pink Cliffs of the Claron formation- limestone eroded into elaborate fins and hoodoos through an ongoing freeze/thaw cycle. Unlike the formations in Arches, where you can see elaborate upheavals and folds, Bryce’s sedimentary layers are blessedly flat- you can trace the layers across multiple hoodoos, each of them wearing differently according to their particular mineral composition. Knowing this, knowing what to look for when you’re drawing a particular formation, is a fantastic tool for you as an artist- as you’re laying in the overall shape, these tiered layers give you visual anchors to check the scale and proportions of the rocks. Thanks a lot, NATURE.
How I personally draw rocks. A note about hatching- I generally prefer directional hatching, rather than flatter cross-hatching, when I’m working with pen. Cross-hatching happens in the process, it’s inevitable, but hatching in a direction consistent with the form you’re drawing tends to make for much more plausible 3D forms that sit well in space. Look to Franklin Booth and Charles Dana Gibson for some particularly expert hatching inspiration. Try not to cry. So! Onto the process itself:
I start out with loose outlines, marking particularly important landmarks, change of planar direction, and any deep pits in the rock- they help to anchor the drawing down the line, and give me a nice base to work on top of. This is the stage when I panic and think the sketch is going to turn out horribly. It is an ugly stage.
From there, I tend to (apparently, I don’t think this is something I’m considering at the time) block out sections of rock to render with more detail, working the entire surface and trying to keep broader value structures in mind. Those darker pits in the rock help ground me- they give me a “darkest dark” that I can work against as I’m laying down tones.
As I start working on new sections of rock, I’ll jump back and forth to cohere the sections, make sure they sit well in the value structure, that the forms are reading across the rock, etc.
While you sketch, make sure you aren’t overworking the surface of the rock- let your eyes go out of focus, and really prioritize where to add value, where to leave swaths of blank paper, etc.
Once I’m nearing the end of the sketch, I’ll do a quick pass of overall hatching to make sure the piece reads as a whole. I love the local colour of the hoodoos- the transitions from pink to orange to white- and so I wanted to make sure there was a hint of that broad value structure in my sketch.
Add plants, if available. Plants make everything better.
And you’re done! Or, well, you’re kinda cold and your butt’s going numb. Here’s the final piece I ended up with, alongside an in-focus photo of the rocks for comparison:
…it’s not perfect- I can start to pick it apart now that I have them side by side- but it’s pretty damn close! :)
Have fun drawing rocks ALL DAY LONG, -C
Light and Shading Tutorial
This breaks it down a bit more toward the level I need
good tutorials are few and far between ( a lot of artists seem to get caught up in the superficial trappings of portraiture rather than the nitty gritty fundamentals), but these breakdowns by Bryan Lee are just fantastic. Super applicable tips and tricks, no matter your personal technique/approach.
there is literally NO POINT to baldwin brew fest mats
in half the time of getting 20 coals from baldwin I’ve grinded over 100 mats from the coli
wtf FR
The point is that players who have full time jobs, or are at school for the season, or who are still leveling their coli team can now still get a little extra currency if they’re motivated. This feature is not for you. Why complain about it?
It also probably cuts coli traffic a bit. For gods’ sake, I know how long you’ve been on FR. Remember the first year of festivals? Yeah? This is giving us even a little better speed without having to wait for them to finally recode the coli.
I mean I guess? But it’s still pretty fucking weak that in three hours you get 20 mats. Even just grinding the Training Grounds you’d get more than that in that amount of time. Hell you could spend half an hour there and get probably around 20 mats.
They were buffed for last month weren’t they? Idk why they nerfed them cause this is just straight up not viable. You can’t even buy anything with 20 mats :T
Of course you earn more festival currency when actively playing the game rather than clicking a single button and walking away for three hours.
Reminder that when asked what wood lice are supposed to be called, this was how British people responded.
Are you people okay over there
Dutch call them Piss beds
How interesting! We call them ‘rolly pollies’ where I’m from, and more rarely ‘pill bugs’. Much cuter than ‘woodlice’. ._.
do not compare yourself to leonardo da vinci
WIP Wildclaw 8/2015 Finished cutting her out, I’ll probably work on the background here and there over the next few days.
Dear god. So much respect for anyone who can handle meticulously cutting paper like this. I think I’d be stabbing my own eyes out after 15 minutes. x_X
Guh trying to come up with something for my little leader, Faith. I have something in my head but getting it down is proving difficult.
