I made a 30 day drawing challenge.

Hey. This is a month long character drawing challenge. I’ve been meaning to do one of these for a while now so I can finally learn to draw my OCs consistently, but I never got around to it and I thought maybe I’d be a bit more motivated if I made one myself.

I’m probably going to do this for July because it’s the only month I have nothing planned. Feel free to use this, in fact I encourage you to! Also, If you’re willing, I’d really like it if you could link back to this or something because I’d love to see what people do with this.

Thanks for checking this out! Have fun!

Draw a character:

1. Blushing 2. In “formal” clothing: a suit, dress, kimono/yukata (?) 3. Cooking 4. Laughing 5. Working out 6. With/ Without glasses 7. Stargazing 8. Wearing gender/orientation flag shirt 9. Eating their favourite food 10. Crying 11. Singing 12. With a cold 13. Losing (at anything really) 14. Wearing a big hoodie/sweater 15. Playing video games 16. In a different pallete 17.

The Dog Collar Museum

One of the most unique and fascinating collections of historical dog collars that are known in the world today, with collected pieces that have stemmed the ages.

This fantastic collection of hand-made dog collars that span over five centuries, is on display in a creative presentation.  People young and old enjoy the great craftsmanship of centuries-old.

With over 130 rare and valuable dog collars, from leather to hand worked brass, were discovered in storage and have never been displayed until now.

One of the earliest pieces in the collection dates back to the latter half of the 15th century.  It is a Spanish iron herding mastiff’s collar, used for protection back when wolves and bears were plentiful and roamed throughout Europe.

In some other collar collections of 16th-centuryury German iron collars with long spikes along with ornate gilt collars worn in the Baroque period, right to 19th-century silver dog collars that were engraved using a chasing method.  20th-century collections display collars from tyres, beads and plastic.

Mrs. Gertrude Hunt presented the dog collar collection back in 1977 to the Leeds Castle Foundation dedicated in memory to her husband, John Hunt, historian.  The Hunts were avid collectors of priceless art and antiques, the dog collars, though, were Mr. Hunt’s true passion.

Mrs. Hunt donated more than 60 dog collars from all of Europe, from the 16th century to the 19th.  Since the initial gift from the Hunts, many more donations have come in from various members of the public, Leeds castle has also acquired some collars through purchase.

These were all worn by dogs that are long-dead and were loved. That’s so cool

I NEED IT

[kiraraneko]

So here’s just a speedy little tutorial I threw together to show how I made the opalescent color on one of my Black Friday dragon Teos. Since opals are like fire (very inconcrete) - this is a highly stylized technique and is more of a suggestive starting point than an authority on how to actually render realistic opals. It worked in getting a quick and easy result for me so I thought it worth sharing! :)
