REBLOG IF NAZIS OFFEND YOU MORE THAN NIPPLES.
Yep
Majority of my best friends atm I either met through tumblr or through wow, and those people I met on wow were because of people on tumblr.
i like to imagine that clark kent’s search history is mostly normal but then there’s stuff like “improved superman costume concept art” because he wanted ideas
#what would you even do as an artist #if one day superman is just wearing a costume that is clearly your design #like superman was clearly looking at your deviantart #there is a chance that superman saw that art you drew of him kissing batman #why is he wearing the costume you designed #is he trying to send a message #is he saying that he really does smooch batman #did superman see your kryptosona #how much does he know
someone said they wanted to be able to reblog this with my horrible tags
no but like… do you sue him for using your designs? Do you politely ask him to stop using your designs? Do you ask him for license fees when the Superman merchandise adopts your design as well?
i am absolutely sure that he would find one with an artist’s comment/description that included “hey superman if you’re reading this feel free to use this anytime ok ;3″ and he would say “oh man that’s so thoughtful, thank you weedhorse69, I think I will” and like how do you explain in court that you, weedhorse69, did not intend for your statement to be any kind of contractual offer because you did not think he would ever find your public internet post with his name all over it
#people are reblogging the version of this without my final addition#offended that i would suggest clark kent wouldn’t credit the artist#missing what i consider to be the obvious facts of the matter#it’s probably a costume designed out of pure thirst too like#weedhorse69 is gonna keep his mouth shut because this way he gets to watch superman#running around town in a costume that really shows off his biceps and abs#he thought it looked summery#the league holds an intervention asking him to please stop wearing it#he does not stop no one can stop him#batman v superman II: clark please put on a real shirt
tumblr is garbage and likes to resize everything and readmores don’t work on mobile anyway so you all will just have to click through if you want to read weedhorse69′s chatlog screenshots
THAT CHATLOG THO
Dallas you have to click the chatlog link. Its great.
reblog to add +10 haunting power to your ghost when you die
i aint risking being a weak ass ghost
Reblog for a +2 to visibility to cats when nothing else can see you
Being 18-25 is like playing a video game where you’ve skipped the tutorial and you’re just sort of running about with no idea how anything works
Being 25-30 is like later on in the game when you’ve figured out how things work, but have made poor leveling decisions along the way and are now horribly underpowered for what you’re supposed to be doing.
May the 10 of Pentacles bless your account with more money than you can spend. 💵✨
10 of Pentz came thruuu
Omg this actually works!!! Thank you 10 of Pentacles!!!
I could seriously use this money right now….
Please give me my refund of 400$ soon…
I feel obligated to reblog this every time it shows up in my dash
No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen.
So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.
Sure why not? Jobs bring in money and prosperity…
I could use a new job 10 of Pents
CAN SOMEONE GET ME A SCREEN SHOT OF RALSEI SINGING?
I need it for a ref for a commission, but I’m too lazy to get it myself, kthx bye
Was watching ProJared play, so I figured I’d grab it for you.
Whoops, put it on the wrong blog there...
The big texturing tutorial
1. Definition
Texturing is a technique that involves adding local shading and details on surfaces to better represent the material of an object. This technique is of course closely linked to shading in general. This is usually applied after defining a global shading.
From left to right :
Lineart
Global shading
Completed sprite
One of the big differences between global and local shading is homogeneity. The very principle of global shading is to give a sufficiently contrasting effect between the shaded and lit areas to bring out volume and depth. Conversely, a texture must be as homogeneous as possible. It must be able to be applied on large, uniform surfaces, without making it look bad.
2. Applying a texture
A texture being homogeneous in terms of its luminosity/contrast, if it is applied to an object without taking into account the global shading, we will lose any effect of volume and depth.
A texture applied to a sphere without shading. Only the deformation of the texture can give us a clue on the shape of the object, but it is still difficult to discern. Homogeneous contrast When applying a texture to an object, shadows must also be taken into account. It is therefore important to maintain a uniform contrast between colours. A dark line separating a light zone from a dark zone should not keep the same colour between these two zones.
The color of the line will be lighter on the lighter side and darker on the darker side to preserve its contrast with the background. In the same way it is possible to apply a texture or pattern on a shaded object, by proceeding to a simple color shifting in our palette.
Combination of a texture (left) and an object that is not textured but shaded (middle).
3. Local shading
Since shading is used to highlight the bumps, there are generally two possible cases:
A groove
A bump
Each of these cases can be more or less accentuated by playing on the colors, the intensity of shadows and lights.
On the upper line, troughs ranging from the weakest to the strongest bumps. On the second line, these are bumps that stand out. The mastery of these light bumps is very important, it is the basis of the textures, and will make it possible to manage all the simple cases, such as wood or matte plastic. Example of application on a simple object:
4. Reflections
The application of a reflection is done in a simple way, by applying diagonal strips of light of varying thicknesses, and following a few rules.
A trough or bump will create an offset at the reflection level (proportional to the height change). As for the shadows, there is no absolute, depending on the palette or the material represented, it is possible to lighten or not the area at the reflection level. It is also important not to have parallel light bands on faces that are not oriented in the same direction, as on this cube:
Concrete example of the application of a gold texture on our drawers:
Or, added reflections on our previous crate:
5. Dithering and granularity
Dithering consists in creating a new false color from a checkerboard or other regular pattern of two colors close enough to give an illusion of mixing. The closer the colours are, the stronger the illusion will be. The more the colours are contrasted, the stronger the granularity effect will be.
Dithering is basically used to obtain fake intermediate shades on limited palettes, but it is also very useful for making complex and rough textures.
Example of complex dithering separating 3 colors over a wide area.
The nature of the pattern totally changes the roughness aspect. Example of the application of a sandy rock on our drawers:
Or add grain to our crate:
6. The art of destruction
The more complex a texture is, the more it will combine fundamental techniques such as bumpiness, reflections or granularity. However, some materials need to go further, by cutting, slash or breaking the base support.
Cuts It works much like bump, but on a much finer surface. We are subject to the same rules, of which here is a summary image:
From the finest to the most pronounced, on the first line of the cuts, and on the second of the bumps. A concrete example on our crate:
Exercises
Since nothing beats practice to learn, here is a series of examples from the simplest to the most complicated.
For each exercise resolved, post your results.
Mastering tools
Add a strong bump on the text of this image, except the ‘x’ which must be a groove (the center must be dug more strongly than the rest of the ‘x’):
Palette:
Add reflections on the image obtained between the two red lines shown below:
Now cut and break the letter ‘e’ as well as possible.
Add grain to the letter ‘l’.
Finalize a sprite
Texturize/colorize this sprite:
Palette:
Add reflections on the inside of the doors to give the impression that there are windows.
Add damage (cuts etc) on the right side of the wardrobe.
Make a variant of this cabinet by redoing it in gold using the palette of the gold drawers example in the tutorial. Palette:
Do the same with the sandy rock. Palette:

i’m having trouble finding independent content creators who 1) make content about video games on youtube, 2) are women, besides anita sarkeesian
(which is fine, but for my purposes I need to know about anyone besides her that may exist)
Uh, I follow a few.
Commander Holly, GG Gab, KittyKatGaming, Lucahjin, MasaeAnela, PinkKittyRose, The Sphere Hunter... That’s all I can think of anyway. I follow a few more on Twitch if you want those too.
making two extremely bitter dinosaur shirts for myself to wear to the June 22 2018 Jurassic World 2 premiere
this is the first one
let’s be real, no matter how crap this movie is I WILL be going multiple times. thus, multiple outfits - here’s number 2
ALRIGHT, getting a lot of messages arguing with the rooster! so I’ll break it down once, & then please obey the rooster’s speech bubble
1. Birds are Dinosaurs
at this point, no sane person can deny the relationship between birds & non-avian dinosaurs. if through magic you saw a photo of velociraptor today, you’d just say “neat-o I think that turkey has teeth!” & go back to scrolling your twitter feed.
but let’s clarify what a dinosaur is: Dinosauria is defined as the MCRA (most common recent ancestor) of Megalosaurus & Iguandon, and all their descendants thereof. you see that branching cladogram up above? everything past ‘Archosauria’ is an archosaur, including birds, everything past ‘Dinosauria’ is a dinosaur, including birds, and everything past ‘Aves’ is a bird.
so, Tyrannosaurus rex is not a bird, but a house sparrow IS a dinosaur.
2. Birds are Reptiles
many clades (groups consisting of a common ancestor & all it’s descendants) were made based on physical features like ectothermy and scales, before we fully understood who was related to who. so birds were not originally intended to be grouped with reptiles, but tracing their path backward in the tree of life, birds are nested in Archosauria (crocodiles, pterosaurs, dinosaurs, etc.), which is in turn nested in Reptilia (turtles, lizards, snakes, etc.)
by our own stupid rules, birds are reptiles.
The term “reptiles” should not be used at all in scientific discussions of phylogenetic relationships. Reptiles are a grade, a polyphyletic group constructed before we had evidence of birds being dinosaurs. The grup containing reptiles and birds is Sauropsida. Bird are not reptiles, but they are dinosaurs, which is a much cooler assertion.
Time to buy me a new shirt
some people on insta said i should post my workout routine since i mentioned how im so happy with the results, so here’s my little workout guide for my fellow trans folk! I focused on getting a more masculine body because obviously that’s what I want. I’m so happy with the results, this workout is saving my fucking life!!!! I can’t get on T soon so this has really been keeping my dysphoria in check. I barely get body dysphoria, i love how my clothes looks on me, i love feeling confident for once in my life!!! HOWEVER Don’t go overboard with working out my friends. Do not work out in a binder, you MUST take days off to let your muscles heal, and you CAN’T starve yourself! Fitness is all about health and diet! Take care of yourself. This is also MY workout routine, you may not get the same results as I have! Every body is different.
@bubbleteabumblebee Also I need to do more work out stuff lol.
man it’s expensive to be stupid in college
fail a class you paid for? on your gpa forever withdraw from a class (that you paid for) you aren’t understanding? penalized, and on your gpa forever take too long to get your degree? financial aid taken away
gpa too low: you obviously don’t care about school and we’re taking away your financial aid
gpa too high: you obviously don’t need any help with your classes and we’re taking away your financial aid
Failed 2 classes final year and have to retake them, no more financial aid because I can’t qualify as a full-time student anymore.

I can smell the entitlement in the air
Oregon was a mistake
Oregon, what you doin???
I think I am most bewildered by how many people seem to think that you spend the rest of the day reeking of gas fumes if you touch a gas pump. Do they think you pour the gas all over yourself…? Why are these gas fumes clinging to you through your day such that you will not be fit to be around other humans…?
I didn’t even know there were places left that let you pump your own gas.
@antyc67 in Britain we pump our own.
I didn’t know there were any stations left where people don’t pump their own gas. Every gas station I’ve ever seen has been self-service since the 1970s.
I’ve lived in Central Michigan my entire life and i have never heard of people just….not pumping their gas……i’m so fucking confused.
Oregon: You expect us to pump our own gas like peasants? :/
The entire rest of the world:
For those in the states, only New Jersey and Oregon have it where you do not pump your own gas. Mostly the reason is fire/safety hazards and it legit does help the job employment percentage. Course, none of the douches above deserve good service if they’re going to act like that.
Pumpking your own gas isn’t that hard? The only thing I get confused by when I leave Jersey and have to pump it myself is whether to pay inside the convenience stand or at the pump itself. I think you only have to pay inside if you’re doing cash? I don’t drive out of jersey enough to remember.
Makes me wonder if anyone in Oregon has ever been outside of Oregon. Like, at all.
A couple weeks ago my spouse and I celebrated Dia de los Dinosaurios with this one-page rules-light RPG that we designed. I was the party T-Rex and I failed at almost everything I did: highlights included smashing my face into a steel garage door and rolling off the roof of an occupied building.
Have some additional dinos! Really you can play as any dinosaur you want.
@broliloquy its up
This honestly looks really fun. @bubbleteabumblebee
I’m v passionate about public transportation and honestly idk why any major us city doesn’t have a light rail system
*azealia banks megaphone gif* PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS A HUGE EQUALIZER THAT GIVES DISENFRANCHISED PEOPLE ACESS TO GREATER RESOURCES CREATES LASTING STABLE JOBS AND PRODUCES CAPITAL FOR METRO GOVERNMENTS TO INVEST IN PROJECTS THAT IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE
because *republican voice* that’s socialism
Because they did have light rail systems, extensive ones. And then it started hurting car sales and the automotive companies got mad:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy
So, with pressure from those guys it was effectively replaced by the Interstate system even within cities, and from then on urban planning was done specifically with every family owning a car in mind, which resulted in the vast urban sprawl of the suburbs built from the 1940s onwards, and why it’s now impossible to get anywhere without a car in most of the US. Which is basically unheard of elsewhere in the world unless you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Of course the cost of owning a vehicle has gone way the hell up since 70 years ago, resulting in a horrible situation for anybody living on minimum/near-minimum wage!
Remember in Who Framed Roger Rabbit when they dismantle the red car to make way for a big fat freeway with personal automobiles? Yeah, that was a lot more historical retelling than just a jokey cartoon movie thing.
Which, ironically, is usually the point of jokey cartoon movie things.
As someone who worked in light rail for 18 months (with emphasis on streetcars), I can tell you the following reasons it is a fucking pain in the ass to get light rail built anywhere it doesn’t already exist:
First, you have to get people to VOTE for a light rail.
Then, you have to bid out the light rail, and this can take–at minimum–18 months to two years.
Then, after choosing the proper bidding, you have to ARRANGE to even get materials where you need it.
While you are also getting materials, you have to be certain the people supplying you the trains are worth a good goddamn in terms of delivering reliable trains. There are a number of companies whom are COMPLETELY reliable, but if you are selling your trains as USA manufacturing, it’s a goddamn crapshoot. I’m pretty sure, with the demolition of my former employer, no one makes trains in the US anymore.
I wanna be clear on this: The US was not making fucking stellar trains that everyone should want. We legit bought plans from a company that’s been making trains for DECADES and pretended like we knew what we were doing. WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING.
For every two years it takes to prove you can pull off the thing, you’re going up against new elections, either from the state/federal level or from the local level, and it is hard as shit to keep up the momentum for light rail when you can’t even get a goddamn track laid before there’s a new election and someone halts construction.
Also there are people who are against transit SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE it helps poor people. The piss-poor excuse for a rail line in St. Louis can’t expand into St. Charles County, even though that would give people in the exurbs a much easier way to get to the airport/downtown, because–and I quote–“it might draw a bad element” out to the fortress of White Suburbia. It goes beyond NIMBYism to outright hatred of the (racialized) poor.
Adding on to the St. Louis rail line: I know there was a lot of controversy about expanding it into Clayton and Ladue (which are the very richy richy white districts if you couldn’t already tell by the names) because *gasp* that would mean poor people could access the area. Hell, Ladue didn’t even want sidewalks that connected to any neighboring neighbors because they’re exclusionary as fuck.
^^^^^
Mercer Island is suing Sound Transit here in Seattle to try to block ST3, our massive light rail expansion which voters overwhelmingly supported in last November’s election, because What About the Cars???
As someone who currently has to commute through Seattle, fuck you mercer island. You'll live with one less lane you entitled fuckwits.
when will it end
