Found some hands tutorial by me
Not in English but hope it will help???????
THIS IS SUPER HELPFUL. especially the hand one.
I’ve translated the ones that aren’t in English! (at least the ones in the main photoset, my Chinese isn’t good and I’m too tired from doing those translations to sit and decipher some of the characters that are blurry haha sorry)
under the cut because it got really long:

So apparently when the original zelda got released, this magazine thought Link was a redheaded girl
lets make a videogame how hard can it be
nevermind you have to know shit about computers
hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!!
for starters, there’s Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (it’s what Crystal Warrior Ke$ha was made in so you KNOW it’s good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)
if you want a bit more involved experience there’s Inform 7 which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn
you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with Unity (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. there’s lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the community’s pretty dang friendly from what i’ve seen!
this is just a taste of what’s out there from what i’ve seen, but there’s so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, i’m around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!
I’m addin’ to this post because lowering the barrier to entry for making games is super important to me!!!! If y’all have any questions about making games, you’re welcome to come and ask! I made this list a while back with some friends, so it has some of the programs John already mentioned.

GameMaker : Potential for pure drag-and-drop “programming”. It is recommended to read-up on the program’s functions to make good use of it. Good for prototyping.

@slimetony how does it feel to have your shitpost be turned into a helpful resource
It feels like a betrayal of every tenant of humor I subscribe to. Helping people is an alien concept to me. It makes me upset.

Just in case you forget this exists.
It exists.
With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.
SLAMs THE REBLOG BUTTON
there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!
Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.
You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!
When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.
ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.
FireAlpaca is now COMPLETELY a Paint Tool SAI alternative!
BITMAP WATERCOLOR BRUSHES, Y’ALL!!! Want to make some SAI brushes in FireAlpaca? Check out THIS handy Guide!
Want to make this brush? Just make a perfect circle and save it (I call mine “round”) and use it as the bitmap, and copy the settings above. It works pretty nicely :D
aHHHH HOLY SHIT WHEN DID THIS POST START TRENDING?!
UM, WHILE I’M HERE:
Here is where you can download FireAlpaca (it is completely free software)
*If English is not your native language, you can download it in other languages.
Please download from the official FireAlpaca websites, because a friend of mine simply googled FireAlpaca and downloaded from some random site, and she got malware! So PLEASE be careful.
FireAlpaca has a suggestion/bug reporting box on their site so you can request features, or let them know if you’re having any issues! Also FireAlpaca works fantastically on Mac computers! (though I will say the only time FA has crashed on me is when I used a Mac, so PLEASE save your work often)
Also, please visit these tumblrs if you do get into using FireAlpaca:
@everythingfirealpaca @fpacatuto
for anyone who wants an alt to Sai. :O
@valynara ! Hey remember when i told you fire alpaca was a good alternative? Check it out its great for mac!
it also updates regularly and theres an onionskin mode for gif making and such!

Since people keep asking:
Senpai’s top travel tips for japan!
Don’t buy a Japan Rail Pass: They cost $250, and you’ll maybe MAYBE spend 80 dollars in fares flat out in 7 days. Buy a suica card or pay your fares outright.
Do travel with other people. Japan can get lonely for foreigners, especially non-asians as not only is it a country of social recluses, you’re a different color than everyone else, AND there’s a language barrier. Striking up a conversation is like pulling teeth.
Search for a 7-11 to pull yen off your card. All 7-11s have american friendly ATMs where you can pull 10000 yen off your card international transaction free(at least for my card)
Bring a pen on the plane. You will need a pen to enter new countries, and they will hand out slips on your flight. You will not be provided with a pen, so rather than dive for a pen at the airport, bring one in your pocket.
Don’t go for capsul hotels. You can get a heckin decent hotel for 60 a night with somewhere to lock up all the shit you’re about to buy, a place to take a hearty shit without being judged by anyone other than who you brought, and it’s just better privacy wise.
Look into renting a SIM card at the airport. My plan had free mobile data, but it was limited to 2G, or 105kb/s download speed. If i went again, a japanese sim card would be well worth the price
Memorize at the very least some basic phrases. Phone translators aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, so you don’t want to end up like me caught using frantic handsignals to order burgers.
Bring a hearty external cellphone battery. One that can recharge your phone to max at the very minimum twice from stone dead to 100% without needing recharged.
If you’re american, get an outlet converter anyways. Japanese outlets are compatable with 2 pronged cords, and voltages, but not for the 3 pronged grounded cables that laptops use
Bring a power strip. Don’t get stuck with only 2 american outlets, Bring a strip to have access to 6 of them! Keep it in your purse/carryon so you can use it at the airport and be considerate to other fliers.
6. SIM cards, in my research, have very limited data (like 150mb/day) it may be worthwhile to get a pocket wifi instead, especially if you’re traveling with someone else since the pocket wifi can work for multiple people.
11. You will run into a fair amount of places that do not take credit card so bring a decent amount of cash. I took $500 for 12 days and it was just the right amount.
12. Get a travel credit card, or otherwise zero foreign transaction fee card. Bank of America offers the “Travel Rewards card” which gets points and stuff.
13. If you are coming from America you can set up a Google Voice number that is completely wi-fi based by downloading Google Voice, Google Hangouts and Google Hangout dialer, This will allow you to call back home, or have home call you, without crazy fees. https://thedroidguy.com/2018/04/receive-wi-fi-calls-google-hangouts-free-without-sim-card-1063470
