Hello again, long time no see.
As you all know by this point I no longer post or do anything on this blog. I did start a new one after taking an almost 2 year break from tumblr, and if any mutuals or any of you are really interested in still following me just shoot me a message and ill sauce you my new name.
I’ll see y’all on the flipside
Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary is now doing 360 video footage of their premises and dog rooms and I have never felt so alive.
Trying to draw buildings
yo here’s a useful tip from your fellow art ho cynellis… use google sketchup to create a model of the room/building/town you’re trying to draw… then take a screenshot & use it as a reference! It’s simple & fun!
Sketchup is incredibly helpful. I can’t recommend it enough.
There’s a 3D model warehouse where you can download all kinds of stuff so you don’t have to build everything from scratch.

This is an incomplete tutorial, and it drives me crazy every time I see it come around.
We live in a pretty great digital age and we have access to a ton of amazing tools that artists in past generations couldn’t even dream of, but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of using it.
Here’s the missing part of this tutorial:
How do you populate your backgrounds?
Well, here’s the answer:
If the focus is the environment, you must show a person in relation to that environment.
The examples above are great because they show how to use the software itself, but each one just kind of “plops” the character in front of their finished product with no regard of the person’s relation to their environment.
How do you fix this?
Well, here’s the simplest solution:
This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and comic artists alike when they’re quickly planning compositions. It’s simple and it requires you to do some planning before you sit down to crank out that polished, final version of your work, but it will be the difference between a background and an environment.
From Blacksad (artist: Juanjo Guarnido)
From Hellboy (Mike Mignola)
Even if your draftsmanship isn’t that great (like mine), people can be more immersed in the story you tell if you just make it feel like there is a world that exists completely separate from the one in which they currently reside – not just making a backdrop the characters stand in front of.
Your creations live in a unique world, and it is as much a character as any other member of the cast. Make it as believable as they are.
Great comments and tutorials!
I’m a 3d artist and have been exploring the possibilities of using 3d as reference for 2d poses. I want to add a couple of tips and things!
Sketchup is very useful for environment references, and I assume it’s reasonably easy to learn. If you’re interested in going above and beyond, I highly recommend learning a proper 3d modeling program to help with art, especially because you can very easily populate a scene or location with characters!
Using 3ds Max I can pretty quickly construct an environment for reference. But going beyond that, I can also pose a pretty simple ‘CAT’ armature (known in 3d as a rig) straight into the scene, which can be totally customized, from various limbs, tails, wings, whatever, to proportions, and also can be modeled onto and expanded upon (for an example, you could 3d sculpt a head reference for your character and then attach it to the CAT rig, so you have a reference for complex face angles!)
The armature can also be posed incredibly easily. I know programs exist for stuff like this - Manga Studio, Design Doll - but posing characters in these programs is always an exercise in frustration and very fiddly imo. A simple 3d rig is impossibly easy to pose.
By creating an environment and dropping my character rig into it, I have an excellent point of reference when it comes to drawing the scene!
Not only that, but I can also view the scene from whatever angle I could ever want or need, including the character and their pose/position relative to the environment.
We can even quickly and easily expand this scene to include more characters!
Proper 3d modeling software is immensely powerful, and if you wanted to, you could model a complex environment that occurs regularly in your comic or illustration work (say, a castle interior, or an outdoor forest environment) and populate the scene with as many perspective-grounded characters as you need!
reblogging to save a life
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at this amazing addition! This is fantastic!
if it was GUARANTEED that u would survive would u rather

♡ follow for more soft grump aesthetic ♡
how do i tell my psychiatrist this is the only thing that will ever make me laugh anymore
so i don’t think a lot of people really understand how often south asian culture is misinterpreted and appropriated so i’m making a post about it right here.
any mention of third eyes
any mention of chakras
people wearing bindis when they shouldn’t be
fucking “om” or “aum” tattoos or appliques on things like yoga pants. do you know how fucking disrespectful it is to put a symbol that is so important to my religion and culture on the ass of some white chick’s yoga pants
people wearing maang tikka when they shouldn’t be
anklets with bells on them are very important to the dance culture of south asia and it’s disrespectful to wear them outside of a traditional dance setting
feel free to add any more that i missed because i’m fucking tired
this is okay to rb if you’re not south asian. in fact it’s encouraged that you reblog this post, regardless of your race
^^Anyone is capable of appropriation without meaning to, even other poc. Please respect!
let boys cry.
cuddle boys while they cry.
tell boys they’re pretty.
Give boys flowers
take boys on cute dates
Let boys wear makeup
compliment boys on their bodies
let boys wear crop tops
call boys beautiful
Let boys wear earrings
let boys pierce their bellies
Let boys paint their nails
let boys be belly dancers
let boys be themselves
this thread is so perfect.
This goes for trans, nonbinary, and cis boys ♡
headcanon: there’s a daycare in at least one of the regions where instead of being used for breeding it’s Pokemon’s old friends senior dog sanctuary, where stray/lost elderly Pokemon can spend the rest of their lives at!
Definitely. <3
Old Friends Senior Pokemon Sanctuary is where I would want to work :D

Okay sorry, I love this.
1% of my time as an artist is spent producing the final piece

look what the hotel microwave does
Can you imagine trying two make a late night cup of cocoa or mug cake or something, and it’s 3 a.m., and you try so hard to stop the microwave before it goes off but No. You missed it by one second. And for the next 30 seconds, one by one every single person in the house filters into the kitchen to give baleful looks to both you and the microwave.
OTP: who buys this microwave for a laugh, and who wakes up earlier and uses it every single morning JUST to demonstrate EXACTLY how bad of a decision that purchase was
Can’t be bitter about your friends having dates and steady relationships when you’re single if you love and support their happiness and relationships regardless of your own status
