Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!

This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!

{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}

I noticed in the comments that some people can’t see the thread, so I took screenshots for y'all!

More will come in reblogs, since tumblr has an image limit

Reads #13 and #14 of 2026

i was not enjoying Dream of Death City (the worldbuilding and lore, i felt, were really cool and had a lot of great potential, but the writing style kept oscillating between pretentious and childlike, and the vibe felt more YA than the grimdark fantasy i was promised), so we are moving on!

i started with Arrival (Stories of Your Life and Others) but quickly found out that it is not just a story about first contact with an alien species and is actually a collection of short stories (was very surprised when it launched into a piece about climbing the Tower of Babel to break into the vault of heaven), so i'm also simultaneously reading Children of Time.

Revenant Gun is also finally available at the library so will definitely be reading that one next!
