I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!
Challenge 1: drawing different kinds of faces. Challenge 2: keeping those different faces stylistically consistent! This is something I’ve had to grapple with quite often, especially in my work as a character designer. My latest Patreon tutorial talks about different techniques you can use to draw different types of faces, while still maintaining some consistency between them.

CONFESSION:
I'm bewildered by the lacks of criticism towards Varric, considering that he had, quite literally, monetized his best friend's suffering. From incorporating such horrifying events as Leandra's murder into a bestseller, to the general manner in which he just keeps "showing" Hawke off, despite their eventual, self-deprecating protests, it's all very messed up. And as lovely and likable as Varric can be, the publication of his book has truly reached the heights of tone-deaf lack of consideration.
I don't think he put almost any of the personal details in the book.
In the game he told Cassandra everything just because he was threatened with violence or worse. He most likely picked the exciting parts like fights and such but just briefly mentioned that Hawke's mother died.
Imo he wrote the books because he saw how much Hawke suffered and he thought that, if nothing else, his friend deserved to be remembered as a hero. Maybe their future would be easier or happier then.
Unfortunately, this backfired a bit, and since everyone got to know Hawke as a typical storybook hero, suddenly all kinds of people felt they were entitled to their help (cough, cough, sorry Cassandra). This might be why Varric was so protective of Hawke, why he insisted that he didn't know where they were at the conclave. Varric might have felt that it was partially his fault that Hawke was still dragged into fights, wars and misery. He only wished his friend to be happy but soon realized that the title of a hero, that he had helped to bestow upon them, brought only more burdens on its way.
... But thats just a theory (of mine), A GAAAAAAME THEORY! ✨✌️

Look I clown veganism often enough but really, truly, don’t ever fucking feed somebody something without their knowledge or consent. It’s hugely fucked up and not OK.
also if someone hasn’t eaten meat in a while… or ever… they will get incredibly sick if they just start eating meat again.
|| Please don’t do this. Not just with vegans/ vegetarians, but with ANYONE you don’t know very well. You never know what they may or may not be allergic to, their abilities o(or lack thereof) to digest certain things, dietary needs and restrictions, religious beliefs requiring them to abstain from the consumption of certain foods and about a thousand other things.
Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.
I’m vegan but couldn’t care less if others aren’t, not an overwhelming number of (not all, just alot, unfortunately) non vegans find things like this funny.
Quick reminder: Sometimes people say “I’m vegan” or “I’m vegetarian” because its easier/faster/begets fewer annoying questions than the longer explanation.
As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:
- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance
- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard
- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry
- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry
- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry
- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.
Listen. Food can be very very complicated for people, and a very very very sensitive subject. Respect people’s food restrictions. None of it is your business.
I was one of the people who ordered something decaf at Starbucks only for them to have made it caffeinated and seem to have put in at least a couple shots of espresso and spent the day having panic attacks. Don’t do this shit to people
Also, even if it won’t harm them at all, if you respect people’s bodily autonomy then you can’t compel them to eat something without their consent (and knowledge is necessary for consent)
[ID: A screenshot of two tweets.
First tweet, from twitter user @/mary_phifer, says “So my dad gave this vegan girl a real hamburger…she said it was the best veggie burger she’d ever had…she still doesn’t know”.
Second tweet, a response to the first, from twitter user @/soybeanqueenn, says “your dad is fucked and anyone else who thinks this is funny or even remotely acceptable is fucked. this is a total violation of trust, morals, and more. what if they had an allergy? what if they’re vegan for religious reasons? you can’t just pull shit like this bc ‘they’re vegan’”.

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.
Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.
Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere
Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects
Lightzone to replace Lightroom
Inkscape to replace Illustratr
Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)
If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.

oh jEEZ
I will keep saying this: GIMP sucks butts.
- Medibang Paint and Fire Alpaca for more cartoon style illustration
- Krita for painting
- Clip Studio Paint (not free, but often on sale and cheap even at full price) is better than PS for art and I’m about to cut adobe entirely. Even does some photo editing.
- Paint Tool SAI (again, not free but cheap) old but good, there’s a ton of hacked copies around too. Not hard to get for free.
- Open Tunez for animation.
I’m currently using Affinity Photo and it’s a great Photoshop alternative. One time fee only and it’s not really expensive, plus supports PSD formats. Free trial available too! Davinci Resolve for video editing is amazing as well! :)
Another great art program to include in the list is the completely free, no download, browser recreation of photoshop, Photopea! It has the potential/customizability to be as robust as a full copy of photoshop while also being perfectly accessible to anyone looking to just do some quick edits with no strings attached.
Also, heads up to anyone using it,
As of July 5th 2021, Audacity is now considered a potential spyware security risk,
so please approach it with caution and do some research on the situation as things progress.

A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.
There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12.
Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!
So I found this CD on the street today on my way to work, right? So I decided I’d bring it home and listen to it.
And it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.

LOL at all the people comparing this to ‘80s / ‘90s anime openings. My dad, who grew up Orthodox Jewish, flipped his shit when he heard the battle theme for Final Fantasy VI because it resembled Hasidic music. What is even going on, Japan?
Well this is kind of a revelation. This missing half of the equation.
Prog Rock + Hasidic tunes = 90s JRPG battle music.
OK but this post led me down a rabbit hole and I learned Hasidic music is really popular in Japan so I doubt any similarities to game / anime music is a coincidence. Holy shit u guys.
i’m glad this has resurfaced w/ v interesting commentary!
