I have the Tumblr equivalent of cleaning supplies...

a mass tag replacer

a way to find ALL of the tags you’ve ever used (mostly?)

and a way to find untagged posts

There will be some seriously intense organizing here soon.

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Homie gonna share this

[illarian-rambling]

Yay, unsolicited advice time! Or, not really advice, more like miscellaneous tips and tricks, because if there's one thing eight years of martial arts has equipped me to write, it's fight scenes.

.

Fun things to add to a fight scene (hand to hand edition)

It's not uncommon for two people to kick at the same time and smack their shins together, or for one person to block a kick with their shin. This is called a shin lock and it HURTS like a BITCH. You can be limping for the rest of the fight if you do it hard enough.

If your character is mean and short, they can block kicks with the tip of their elbow, which hurts the other guy a lot more and them a lot less

Headbutts are a quick way to give yourself a concussion

If a character has had many concussions, they will be easier to knock out. This is called glass jaw.

Bad places to get hit that aren't the groin: solar plexus, liver, back of the head, side of the thigh (a lot of leg kicks aim for this because if it connects, your opponent will be limping)

Give your character a fighting style. It helps establish their personality and physicality. Are they a grappler? Do they prefer kicks or fighting up close? How well trained are they?

Your scalp bleeds a lot and this can get in your eyes, blinding you

If you get hit in the nose, your eyes water

Adrenaline's a hell of a drug. Most of the time, you're not going to know how badly you've been hurt until after the fact

Even with good technique, it's really easy to break toes and fingers

Blocking hurts, dodging doesn't

.

Just thought these might be useful! If you want a more comprehensive guide or a weapons edition, feel free to ask. If you want, write how your characters fight in the comments!

Have a bitchin day <3

The end of online privacy

Now, this isn't something I usually post about from my silly goofy k1nk account (reminder to minors to not follow or scroll this acount).

But I have more followers on here than main, and this is extremely important. Like, scary shit.

This applies to everyone. If you're reading this? It's going to effect you.

I'm sure perhaps some of you have seen around about a this thing going around... KOSA, is one of the ways it's being referred to.

If this shit passes, lemme tell you...

LGBTQ+ adults and minors seeking help and community,

people looking for abortions,

people organizing protests,

anyone using their free speech to voice concerns about injustices, 

even FAN ARTISTS...

Even people reading fan fiction...

And for the purposes of where I'm posting from... people sharing and enjoying their k1nks, wanting to post things with safety and privacy... smut artists and writers, people even LOOKING for smut...

It's all gone. No privacy.

They'll have your face, your name, your age, where you live.

You'll need an ID to use any US-based platform, even if you're NOT in the United States.

Instead of dooming, here's what you can do to stop this shit in it's tracks 👍

Here is a website where you can sign a letter just by filling out a form, (it takes less than 30 seconds) and where you can call reps.

I HIGHLY suggest leaving calls if you're able, and if you have phone shyness, do this after 6pm, since it will leave messages instead.

I'm shy, but I did it!

Here's another letter to sign, takes less than 20 seconds.

Here is a form you can fill out sharing how the social media has POSITIVELY effected you.

Share all of this with as many people as you can. Our safety, freedom, joy, and protection online is at risk more than ever.

(Here is the thread where I found all of this information.)

STAY SAFE!

[thispreciousthing]

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

Seeing as Twitter is gonna legally steal your work now, please use glaze to protect what you make.

[chromatocloo]

Guys did you hear about Nightshade?

Using both Glaze and Nightshade would corrupt the generation of pictures mimicking artist AND mess with the AI's recognition of what everything is. Like it would generate a dog when you ask for a cat.

And it would be hell for AI bros to remove the cloaked pictures from their database ʕ 👀人ʔ

[soft-butch-cassidy]

I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:

Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin. 

Here is a page of medieval weapons.

Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.

Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.

Here are some gemstones.

Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on. 

Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.

Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised. 

Here is every religion in the world. 

Here is every language in the world.

Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.

Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.

Here are poisonous plants.

Here are plants in general.

Feel free to add more to this!

I am really happy that other people are getting the word out on sharks.

Everyone is always saying that they are scared of sharks and don’t want to help them.

But, this is a serious issue.

Sharks aren’t he only ones who are affected by the actions of hunting and shark finning, but the entire ecosystem.

So everyone, PLEASE REBLOG!

SAVE OUR SHARKS!

[styx-doesnt-do-art]

Why must we say this again and again, OUR PLANET NEEDS SHARKS TO HAVE A HEALTHY OCEANIC ECOSYSTEM

Many species that sharks normally hunt keeping their numbers in regulation are becoming overpopulated leading the decrease in population of other species.

Humanity is messing with delicate machinery that has been built for years, completely fucking it up like toddlers to a word document

[apocalyptic-cake-deactivated202]

And yes, REBLOG. Liking does no shit at all. This isn't ig.

You reblog, people see it. You don't, people don't see it. This shit's that simple.

This could save someone's life. It's not a joke.

[gyrsaker365]

This isn’t some ‘oh yeah sure it could’.

This could legitimately do so.

Don’t you dare fucking scroll past.

[obscureoldguy]

This is good stuff to know!

[socxsuallycruel-deactivated2022]

Heya! Apologies in advance if any of these have been asked before, but are there any specific resources you use for finding references/if you prefer to use 3D models or photography? This next part isn't a question, but I really like the small details in how you draw characters, especially Snatcher's hair, with how it swishes inward, then juts out slightly, then juts out for the fluff at the bottom (If that makes any sense????).

Senshi-stock on deviantart has a LOT of good stuff but usually I also go into google and try to describe what I want then look at the images. If I need a specific pose at a specific angle and can’t quite find it anywhere, I’ll usually just try to do the pose myself and then take a picture with my phone. And HDHDHSJ thank you! <3

[merriway]

Aah thoughts for that Star Vs. OC as well as just thoughts for the race I’ll probably keep for my own stuff.

Schleep

A sheep like race known for traveling through dreams as well as eating them. They tend to be passive observers rarely getting involved with any waking nonsense and preferring to just wander aimlessly through the minds of others. Their main source of power and food are dreams (or thoughts in general) Most sheep try to be polite and eat only dreams as they figure you dont really need those (They’re mostly nonsense) But occasionally a particularly hungry Schleep may eat an idea you’re currently having and ruin your train of thought. Sorry.

Schleep dont like hassles and they dont like trouble so they tend to just keep to themselves and no one is the wiser. Occasionally they get spotted by someone who is drifting between being asleep and awake but for some reason people have come to assume that spotting sheep means you need to count them? The Schleep hate being counted. Why do you have to count them, isnt one good enough for you? Selfish.

The funny thing about Schleep is they have wicked power. Not only can they wander through minds, they can tamper with them. Plant dreams and ideas into your head or remove them and more. But perhaps their greatest power is not with their magic but with what they know. Wandering through minds all over the multiverse means that the Schleep have seen some things not meant to be seen. They hold secrets of devastating power. The main thing holding them back from spilling any of this info is its too much of a bother. Again they dont wanna draw attention to themselves and world altering secrets are big BIG red flags so the Schleep avoid using those.

The main creed of the Schleep to keep them safe is to watch and eat but dont get involved.

HEY ARTISTS!

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

ok but we ALL know the mario movie bullshit is 100% nintendo being PISSY that the sonic movie was good right

like. nintendo’s been the bully shoving sonic into a locker forEVER and then sonic gets their first big break in at least fifteen years (maybe more) and suddenly nintendo is freaking out because they used to be the cool ones and they can’t stand the blue boi having the spotlight for 0.5 seconds so they’re casting a knockoff ben schwartz voice for mario and throwing in as many celebrities to get butts in seats as they can and they didn’t think through the fact the sonic movie was good because the people making it liked sonic

like look at the sonic movie! does it have a very simple, overused plot? yeah. but it’s so clearly made with love and not just for a quick paycheck, there are roughly one shit billion references to the games, comics, tv series adaptations, etc. the actors are all having a blast and have stated publicly they love being part of this. the creators will gush about sonic every chance they get. the sonic movie was good cause it was made with love and that energy carried through to the final product idk about you but something tells me that nintendo stomping their feet and throwing chris pratt at us is not a great sign

tl;dr mario fans get better soon sonic stays winning <3

[livelyspaghetti-blog]

When I tell people to delete anon hate, to not publish it, it’s not me saying “ignore it and it’ll stop; don’t fight back.” It is 100% petty and spiteful. Honestly, I can’t think of anything better than the person who sent the hate obsessively checking your blog and refreshing and refreshing, waiting for you to reply, and getting increasingly frustrated when the ask they so masterfully crafted never pops up & you just keep posting cute pictures of your pets and talking about how nice your day was.

Deleting anon hate without any explanation or reply means to give haters the exact importance they have: none.
