Ok so while we’re at this, I just checked out Unsplash, and it’s an AMAZING site for free images?

The Red Plague: An Analysis

Ok, I’m to preface this that I am not at ALL a student of medicine or science I am just a humble blogger who really likes diseases, literary analysis, and the science behind death. This will also be a STUPIDLY long post so I am letting you all live by putting it behind a readmore this time

This goes without saying but there is a content warning to this. I’m talking about death, stages of decay, rotting, corpses, vomit, and other gross medical stuff. There will be NO images however. I subjected myself to viewing those images and I will not condemn you all to view them. 

I’m going to start this off making sure everyone is on the same page and post an image from the art book about the Red Plague itself

So let’s start with the canonical facts about the plague first

Average life expectancy was 3-7 days once symptoms show, Averages are also liars which means it could’ve taken a little bit more than 7 days or under 3 days to die. 

Spread by the plague beetles, exact method of transfer is unknown but Julian was force fed one and contracted the plague however they are safe to keep in containment.

Plague beetles also infected nonhuman objects like the water supply which is shown as a thick ichor. This ichor no longer possesses infectious properties at the time of the story

Julian believed that it had to do with a corruption in the blood hence the usage of leeches 

The Lazarus started as a containment center before becoming a crematorium, meaning people believed that it was spread from contact or things like that

HOWEVER This is not the first appearance of the plague as it would show up at locations Lucio stayed for too long but no note if it spread from these locations. 

It’s not a disease, its a curse.

So, this is one nasty plague on our hands. Most diseases that are this lethal would never be able to spread as much as it did unless it could spread from corpse contact or through other means like a carrier. I think that it could be spread through a combination of both which would add an additional need for cremation.

IF YOUR ART GETS STOLEN

https://www.tumblr.com/dmca Go there, and do as the instructions say. When my art was stolen, I got the post reported, and it was taken down. Don’t worry, it doesn’t just take down the sources post, but it takes down all the reblogged posts too. Please give this a reblog, many artists out there may not know this is here. And remember, ask permission before sharing, or don’t post it.

[strangesigils]

I don’t really know what people generally call this method of sigil making, so I’m just calling it “Letter Shaping” because you’re using the basic shapes from certain letters. This is the most common form of sigil making, and it allows the most creative influence. As you see above the sigils are for nearly the same thing, yet the sigils came out completely different. Not because the purpose was different, but because I approached them both a different creative way, and that’s what I like so much about this method. There’s a lot of freedom and personalization involved.

(UPDATE: Here’s a link to a guide on how to deconstruct letters down to basic shapes)

Hey btw if you don’t know how to program, you should check out [novelty], which is a free Visual Novel creation software. Absolutely no programming required, and it’s super easy to use, I played with it some when I was a teen but the only reason I didn’t do much with it is cuz I made my story complicated and had like 5000 different branching routes that kept spawning new routes and made myself confused LMAO

But yeah, it’s a WYSIWYG with a really straight-forward GUI, if I remember correctly.

It even comes with some free backgrounds and characters and stuff, and this is what it looks like:

Did I mention it’s super duper free? It hasn’t been updated since 2010, but it has basically all you’d need to make a simple visual novel.

Just make sure your DirectX runtime is updated, cuz it can act buggy if it’s outdated, but this program is so old that I doubt it’d even be an issue lol

If only I could drawwwwwwww

… a possibility for the horror game?

[scribbly-z-raid]

I just wanna say you draw ears REALLY well. Could I have some tips for pointy and round ears, please?

It’s weird you say that cause the ears are a part of the body I consistently half-ass. I put zero effort into drawing ears.

So yeah, the ears I draw are simplified compared to actual ears. Just kind of some lines and scribbles and stuff. Cross-hatching the shading to fill the entire ear is something I pick up from Blue Exorcist

Pointy ears are just, like, normal ears extended to be pointy. At least that’s how I draw them. Again, my pointy ears are half-assed and simplified.

idk I don’t know shit about ear anatomy, but I do know the ear is kinda like a weird bowl shape. So when drawing ears from different angles keep that in mind I guess???

This is horrible I’m sorry I’m not much help D:

Tumblr Dashboard Image Display Sizes (Updated July 13, 2015):

Photo Post: 540 by 810 pixels for dashboard view. Use 1280 by 1920 pixels for high-res version (except for superwide panoramas).

“Tall” Photo Post: Tumblr takes a 300-by-810-pixel version of your image then stretches it by 80% using HTML height and width attributes to make it 540 by 1458 pixels. Image quality may be diminished. Aim for uploading at least 710-by-1920-pixel images in case Tumblr switches to a better image size on the Dashboard. (It’s happened before.)

Photoset: 540-pixel width for one image in a photoset row. 268-pixel width for two images in a photoset row. 177-pixel width for three images in a photoset row. Gutters are 4 pixels.

Audio Post: 169 by 169 pixels for album art.

Link Post: 130 by 130 pixels for the thumbnail image grabbed by Tumblr from web link (if available).

Text Post: As of March 30, 2015, inline images can appear full-width (540 pixels wide). Any inline images that are 300 pixels wide or larger will display as full-width.

How to post art without tumblr making it look like a blurry mess. I can’t believe this is a website made for posting images sometimes.

[usefulartshitifoundon]

one of the most reblogged comics i’ve ever made is on my tumblr with half of it blurry as shit and the other half not so pay attention to this stuff :/

In which Amanda has too many thoughts about a celestial AU, but, gosh darn it, she loves the sketches too much to let the embarrassment totally override posting them and sharing her transformation thoughts.

I do need to take out some anatomy books to really get the back working how I want. I want it to be very obvious that his entire back structure changes to accommodate those wings. Unfortunately, I always do these sketches at, like, 4am, which is not a time I want to research bird wing and human back and shoulder anatomy at.

(And I totally didn’t write it on the sheet, but until the feathers grow completely in, he’s basically oozing this black oil-like fluid. It coats the feathers and just is a constant point of discomfort.)

EDIT // Added last sketch showing kind of what size I think the wings would be once they’ve finished being painful and awkward.
