Intro Post

Hello! I'm Oz, or Erin if you like. (Any/All Pronouns)

This is my blog, and I'm trying to make it more fandom/art/writing focused (though I'm sure there'll still be plenty of random stuff). I did have an old blog by this same name (now oztomic-moved-to-main), but—as the name suggests—I moved my stuff back to main. So yes, that is me. Feel free to stick around, if you'd like!

Check out my Linktree!

(More Details below the cut)

My fandoms rotate in interest constantly, but here are a few regulars you're sure to see:

D&D and other TTRPGs

Doctor Who

Dimension 20

Shoot/Roll From the Hip

Dresden Files

My OCs and original writing

I'm gonna try and keep things organized going forward, so here are a few tags:

#artomic — my art

#writomic — my writing

Fic Masterlist

#always the dm — ttrpg stuff

#octomic — my OC stuff

Individual ocs are tagged as oc: [name] Notable OCs: - aris (wip mc) - vio (dnd character) - nele (bg3 tav)

#resozes — resources and useful information

#rebloz — what it says, reblogs

#oz's atoms — my thoughts and ramblings

#oztomic reaction — asks

#ballot box — polls

#misque — posts without a good category tag

#k!nk tag — my musings on kink and other stuff like that (not usually nsft, but feel free to block just in case)

#oz is queer — all my queer stuff, esp stuff related to me (aroace agender/nonbinary)

#q-uarks — queued posts

Fandom stuff will always be reblogged with the appropriate tags (maybe not all of them, but at least an umbrella fandom tag) to more easily find stuff on here.

WAIT HOLD ON I cannot fucking believe when I was like four years old my parents were cajoling me to walk with the family and trying to get me to keep up even though I kept insisting that I was "tired" until they took me to a doctor and found out my LUNGS DIDN'T WORK. how insane that we live in a world where reasonably loving parents think their FOUR YEAR OLD is trying to be LAZY. like they were mortified to be clear. adults are just so trained to ignore children's complaints as untrustworthy, kids just need discipline, they can't possibly speak for themselves. what the fuuuuck.

[fidelcostco]

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE BTW you should always be trying to take children seriously, especially very little ones but definitely all of them. the most disempowered class basically legally defined as property and most people are like "yeah that's good actually I hate when they Loiter lol they're stupid and loud and i actually think children should stop existing. restrict their personhood more actually"

Husband called me into the bedroom to show me the tag on our mattress cover, he was very proud.

“This seems like something tumblr will like! It’ll get you all the notes…ReTumbls? It’ll get you all the ReTumbls.”

[faerytale-wings]

It’s important you all know he has this opened on his second monitor, delightedly refreshing it every few minutes to read the notes.

[radwolf76]

[faerytale-wings]

I don’t even need to update him, he’s still reading the tags.

He also took the opportunity on our monthly discord call last night to proudly inform his mom and sister of his recent tumblr fame.

He perhaps did not consider that he might have to explain “top or bottom queen” to his mom.

The Weeping Angels are really scary until you realize if any organism sees them they are fucked so they get hard countered by geckos, who don't blink and can see in the dark. If the Doctor strapped like two geckos onto him he'd be fine.

🌿 How to draw simple grass for a game

Thank you kind asker I will make a tutorial below for grass. I'll do shrubs and trees in another one, because it's a different method and it got pretty long.

🌿 How to draw grass tiles: step-by-step

Each box is 16x16, the same size Stardew Valley uses. Make it tile (how to do it depends on your software) so we can see if our edges match up nicely.

Draw 1 simple blade of grass. Many options for shape but I like this one. Feel free to copy me directly

2. Give it a shadow. Wow !!!

3. Give it a highlight! OMG!

4. Add another grass

5. Do it over and over and over and over and over

Literally just do the same or similar blades of grass, give them all little shadows, highlight a few if you want and there you have it! So easy.

It looks really complicated like this, but its literally just a few steps, repeated over and over.

Many games use this technique and it would be perfectly serviceable for a base grass tile.

Personally, I prefer lower contrast grass. This tile will likely be used for large areas, so ideally you don't want it to be too busy or eye-burning to distract from the character.

🌿 I'll show you how to do a different type of grass now that is a little more complicated.

Midtone grass colour

2. Add some lighter and darker patches touching each other (not too high contrast!)

3. Use this shape (or your preferred, but this is how I did it) on the top edge of your patches. Colour them with the middle colour from each patch.

4. Do it again a lot (this is very tedious)

5. Add some highlights

6. Add some fun extra stuff

We're done! Have fun everyone, show me if you try it!

New sleep style: hitting the snooze button so many times that you sleep two additional hours in ten minute intervals. I call this Horse Sleep

[caspercryptid]

Worse sleep. That was meant to say worse sleep

[caspercryptid]

I Am So Fucking Tired

[caspercryptid]

Literally immediately after reblogging this to correct it I went "wow, it has a reblog already?" And got all the way to checking my notifs before I realized. That it was me.

[caspercryptid]

I actually wasn't that far off you guys

[caspercryptid]

HOLY SHIT THE POST IS SAVED

[caspercryptid]

Anyway horse sleep: sleep, but horse. Worse. Sleep but worse. Definitely one of the two.

"work in progress" is actually so misleading like it assumes that im actually making progress on my work
