Spring in Khabarovsk, Russia. WTF, nature?!
I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
(save the images to zoom in on the pics)
Another great reference for writing and world building!
Props to the creator for their work and for remembering words have nuance and including that instead of just reprinting a thesaurus.

FREE ART PROGRAMS
So recently I came across a fellow artist who was struggling to find a free art program, and considering dropping the large amount of money for a Photoshop license. I know not everyone can afford such an expensive program, so I’ve compiled a list of programs with no cost to download and use.
Keep in mind all computers are different, so not all will work for everyone. Also, I’ve only ever used Windows, so for the most part, I’m not sure if everything will work for Mac. if in doubt check the website linked.
Photoshop CS2 - (Windows, not sure about Mac.)
FireAlpaca - (Windows and Mac)
Sketchbook Copic Edition - (Windows and Mac)
GIMP - (Windows) (Mac)
Paint tool SAI [cracked] - (Windows) (Mac)
Paint tool SAI 2 beta - (tumblr post on said program)
iPaint - (Mac)
Paintbrush - (Mac)
Pencil - (Windows, Mac)
Paint.NET - (Windows)
Seashore [still in development, ver 0.5] - (Mac)
ChocoFlop - (Mac)
Inkscape - (Mac and Windows)
ArtRage [Demo] - (Mac and Windows)
OpenCanvas 1.1[must pay for 2.0] - (Windows, not sure about Mac.)
MyPaint - (Windows)
Krita - (Windows)
Vectorian [Supports Animation] - (Windows)
Pixia[Japanese, some English versions] - (Windows)
Asperite - (Windows)
Chasys Draw IES - (Windows)
SmoothDraw - (Windows)
TwistedBrush Open Studio - (Windows)
BOUNS - CTRL+Paint [Great for teaching all kinds of stuff, like how to use digital programs.]
If you know more free programs, please add onto this!
Reconnected with my home town's library when I didn't have a phone but had to be in the town for work-- just dropped by the library to use the computers for email & messaging my housemates. Now I have access to the previously nonexistent when I was a kid online database. I have #all of the books. Going to reread the raven boys probably :D any recs?
Ooooh, um. Anything by Ann Aguirre, Rob Thurman, Jim Butcher, Garth Nix, Neil Gaiman, and Richard Bach. Scott Tracey has a couple of awesome thriller/supernatural series (Witch Eyes also has a gay protagonist, which is cool). Ursula K Le Guin is great if you feel like getting your mind blown, and Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar series are always worth reading. The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh is absolutely freaking fantastic, and so is The Lies of Locke Lamora Scott Lynch. Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic books are an eternal favorite, and I recently reread Abarat by Clive Barker and was reminded why it’s one of my top 20 books ever. Same with Robin McKinley’s The Hero and the Crown. Simon R Green’s Nightside series is also great, and the books are fairly short.
….Okay, that was rather more than I intended to mention. If you want more, let me know? :D
Душевная, значит, боль
Соблазнилась на Стивена Хокинга “Мир в ореховой скорлупке”. Написано очень легким и понятным языком. Вроде бы. Но на третей странице пришлось залезть в учебник физики за девятый класс, шобы, значит, стало все еще понятнее, ага.
Спустя полтора часа я все еще читаю учебник по физике за девятый класс, перемежая марафон ютубовскими видео на тему “простая физика” и “теория относительности на пальцах”. И не могу остановиться! Спасите! *ржет*
My Review - “Uprooted” by Naomi Novik
Liked it very much.
It is a beautifully written fairytale - sometimes kind and other times creepy - and not a modern one either. There is mystery, there are kings and queens and witches, there is wisdom. The storyline and main characters may seem too simple at the beggining, but they (characters) grow with the story, and any other shortcomings are overcome by the smooth flow of the tale. And once you start you won’t be able to stop until the very end.
Romance is also touched upon, but it is not what the story is about; more like a light dessert after a filling meal to sweeten up the whole thing a little - just the way I like it.
Plotline - 6/10 (too simple for my personal tastes, but then again for this kind of tale it fits just right)
Characters - 8/10 (the motivation of the characters are very well rationalized, there are no false notes, no sudden unexplainable decisions, all of them are alive and whole in the best sense)
Worldbuilding - 7/10 (very well thought out withing the framework of the tale, but too narrow for my personal tastes; then again I prefer series, so)
Language - 10/10 (like enchanted water, honestly)
World Building
Sometimes, writers find it necessary to add more depth to the world surrounding their characters. I’ve collected a few links that should be helpful in this process. Some of these are better for a fantasy stories, but have ideas that could prove useful for writers of all genres, in one way or another.
MAP GENERATION If you have decided to create your own land mass for the sake of your story, you may be grateful to have this link. Users should read the description below before using, but it is easy to use and helpful for anyone wanting to create a new island or continent. I prefer using this tool over any others I’ve seen online. This website only contains the demo. The full version has more ways to edit the map, but getting the full version requires downloading and having proper software. I’ve found that the demo, on its own, should be enough for anyone who can’t get the full version for one reason or another. However, the link for full version is also on the page, should you want it.
WEATHER AROUND THE WORLD Knowing weather details of areas can be helpful when writing about an area, especially if it’s one you’re not familiar with. This website has the recorded weather of pretty much everywhere on Earth, and even provides averages for the past year in specific areas. It’s great for writers who want an understanding of how the weather in their story might affect the characters. For instance: if the summer heat in an area is consistently over 100 degrees, the characters might be less willing to go outside, and be in need of constant hydration.
FANTASY JOBS THAT AREN’T KNIGHT OR PEASANT Anyone who is writing a story that takes place in a less developed civilization, be it medieval times, or a fantasy world that hasn’t quite hit its industrial revolution, should probably have this list. It’s a simple list of a 100 jobs that you might consider giving to the characters in your story to make them seem like real people. The creator of the list even adds a few at the end for younger characters. Choosing any of them for your story may take some added research, but will be worth the depth added to your story.
FAMILY TREE TOOL If you’ve ever read the series “Lord of the Rings”, you may know that pretty much everyone in the books has a long list of ancestors. While I would never endure such an endeavor, if you feel so inclined to come up with a lineage for your character, this is a tool you can use. It’s easy to use, and allows for adding information beyond name and year of birth/death. You’re able to change what information shows up on the table, and when finished you can even print it out.
HOME DESIGNER So this is good if you have time to kill and really want to do some in-depth building. This tool will let you be the designer of the home of your characters. You’ll get out what you put into it, so if your character lives in a three story, 10 bedroom home, you may have to put in a bit more effort to use this tool effectively. You can also simply create individual rooms, if that’s more along the lines of what you want. Over all, while this tool may take a bit of time to learn, it isn’t very complicated. I suggest it to everyone who wants to explore how the home of their characters looks.
LANGUAGE CREATION If you were thinking about writing your own language, this link will make you decide whether you really want to create your own language, or if you want to give up on the idea entirely. It’s a long process, but is completely spelled out in this link, and the additional pages that the website provides links to. You can also buy the book by the same author for $0.99; but all the information is available for free. Either way, it should be an easy choice to make after reading through what the website has to offer. I think creating a language is for people with more time, patience, and understanding of their own language than I have, but it is certainly fun to think about. The author also discusses different methods people use to create languages, and what is wrong with those methods. I believe this is, by far, the best resource for creating a language.

Butt Studies by Soccer20Star
What advice do you have for a 14 year old who's trying to learn how to animate?
There’s a LOT of things that go into animation and I definitely can’t cover everything all at once (im sure you dont want me to either) so I’ll try to keep it simple!
But for forewarning, I take animation very seriously and can’t help but info dump.
1. Your animation isnt going to work immediately. it’s going to be awful. accept that and move on.
2. Don’t give up when your animation doesn’t work!!! i swear ive seen people try to animate for their very first time with like a walk cycle and immediately after the first test shoot they played they just dropped it and i was like honey!! honey no you made half of a single step and didnt in-between it. You aren’t done, thats why it looks bad! You don’t say a drawing sucks and throw it out halfway through drawing a single eye, you draw the rest of the face and see how it looks in the end. that’s how you have to look at making animation.
3. It’s a lot more work than you think it’s going to be. animation runs at 24 frames per second, that’s 24 drawings a second. some people do it 12 drawings or even 8 drawings a second, but no matter what it’s a lot of dang drawings.
4. Rough drawing rough drawing ROUGH DRAWING! when you start animating things, don’t even THINK about detail! for example, if you want to animate someone walking, animate a circle for the head and a rectangle for their body, that’s all the detail you need to start with. once that is COMPLETELY and i mean completely entirely animated to a point where you are satisfied, THEN you can start to add detail.
5. References!!!! they’re everywhere! and you need to use them! if you want to animate a bird flying, you either look out your window, find a video on youtube, or get a diagram but don’t just try to guess or it won’t work, i promise you
6. Try as many different methods as you can! everyone animates differently. maybe my advice won’t apply to you at all, these things are just what works for me! I have friends who animate from the roughest of rough drawings and others who start every drawing completely detailed. some friends animate from major pose to major pose and others animate frame by frame.
7. HAVE FUN! if you aren’t having a fun time animating, then what are you doing? Ask yourself this question and then figure out what you need to do to MAKE it fun! It makes the work better for everyone in the end!
Now get ready for a link dump!
