Writing Prompt #3861
"I didn't get a childhood. I don't know what you're talking about."
"What? It's not like you popped out of the womb fully formed."
"Being a child and childhood are not the same thing. I didn't get any of the youthful innocence and joy."
100 Dialogue Tags You Can Use Instead of “Said”

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

Help an Artist Survive the Cost of Living!
Hi everyone. As many of you know, the cost of living in Australia has gotten completely out of control. To help cover groceries, and keep the lights on, I am officially opening up my commission queue!
If you have been enjoying my art on your dashboard, commissioning me is the best way to support my work and get something cool for yourself.
WHAT I EXCEL AT:
As a digital artist with a background in traditional painting, my style features a lot of rich, acrylic-style textures. I specialise in:
Cyberpunk 2077: Canon characters, ships (M/M, F/F, M/F!)
Your OCs: Want your own Vincent or Valerie brought to life? Send me your character your Nomads, your Netrunners, and your solos.
COMMISSION TIERS: (Prices in USD)
Clean Sketch / Lineart (Bust or Half-body): $30 USD What you'll get: A drawing of your favourite character or a visual for your OC.
Fully Rendered Portrait / Bust: $55 USD What you'll get: Acrylic-style digital painting to show off the details of your favourite character's or OC's face, cyberware, and expression.
Fully Rendered Half-Body (Waist/Thigh up): $75 USD What you'll get: A dynamic pose from the waist or thigh up, such as Valerie holding a baseball bat, Vincent with his Mantis Blades out, Johnny pointing his Malorian at you, or Kerry driving like both his hands are tied behind his back. (Typical!) These are just examples and don't have to include weapons, you can have any kind of pose or action.
Full Body / Fully Rendered Scene Illustration: $120 USD What you'll get: A full body dynamic pose, such as Kerry in his underwear relaxing by the pool, Johnny patting Nibbles, a moody scene of Vincent or Valerie looking out at Night City. These are just examples, let your imagination run wild.
ADD-ONS
Additional Character: Add 25% to the base price. (E.g. Lineart at $30 + 25% = $37.50 USD)
NSFW: Add 50% to the base price
HOW TO ORDER: If you have a gig for me, send me a DM here on Tumblr.
Not looking to commission right now? A reblog is completely free and helps me reach new clients more than you could possibly know. Thank you all so much for the support, the notes, and for making this blog such a brilliant space
he's so 🥺
good evening fellow tumblr users
