Zine 2 for 2024/2025 is almost done with Artist Applications!
Get yours in if you still want to take part!
One more day and we close applications! Please hurry! 😸
Zine 2 data set and FAQ:
FAQ (found on discord and tumblr):
The zine will be nonprofit but to achieve that the orders placed must out price the cost of manufacturing. Artists/Contributors get a free copy. This zine is currently set to be only digital but may become physical in the future, if and when that happens, artists automatically get a free physical copy and will be contacted in regards to shipment.
Final:
8 x 11. CMYK mode. 300 pixels. For the final. CMYK is preferred at 300 dpi, if this can't be achieved mods can help. Cmyk is printer colors while rgb is digital. 300 dpi is dots per inch to achieve a nice look and detail. These aren’t necessary until you submit your final piece.
Zine 2 Schedule:
June 1. Interest Check. 50 artists required
July 1. Artist applications announced
August 1 Sort applications - artists chosen
September 1. Submitting ideas for approval due. You can ask a mod for an allowance to create up to 3 pieces for the zine, but are only asking for 1 new piece. Fan fiction must meet special requirements if you desire to submit that type of art.
September 30. Sketches due.
October 30. Final pieces due. Subject to extension due to holidays.

I just noticed most of the people I use to follow haven't posted in 5+ years. Poor TMNT and Osomatsu blogs, but I'm cleaning up my follow list. 😿
Hello all!
There are rumors that the upcoming season this year will be our last. While Hulu has not confirmed this, they have not greenlit a new season yet, more than likely because they are waiting to see how this one fares and how much money they can get. That being said there was always a plan to produce another zine as a last hurrah. For all those involved, would you like to participate in a new one for the end of the series? An interest Check Point has been made ^^
Interest Check. This is the part where we make sure people want to be involved. There are rumors that the upcoming season this year will b
I need this. 💜
Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
And this gem 👇
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)
Aaron Rutten (free)
BoroCG (free)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Libresprite (free, for pixel art)
Those are the ones I can recall.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
Incase people missed this.
Just adding this. The drawing program I personally use is Medibang Paint, which wasn't mentioned here but is also free.
You need a subscription to use some of the exclusive brushes but it's not that big a deal since it's mostly just specific texture brushes. Everything else is completely free.
Also, you can make your own brushes as well, which is pretty easy and free.
Popping in again to add.
If you can't find a reference you like, you can use Design Doll if you have a PC. It lets you pose and move human models that are customizable. It has some paid features, but the core program is completely free.
hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard
Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.
Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.
Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.
Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.
SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.
SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.
Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.
Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
hey guys. i don't really wanna make posts like this, but i saw someone not only reposting my artwork but also claiming that they drew them on twitter (or X whatever they call it nowadays) as i have written in my bio, do not repost my artwork, or even worse, pretend that you drew them. please understand that something like this gives me massive anxiety, and that's not a feeling I want to associate with being part of a fandom. thank you.
Wow. I forgot I had a Tumblr account. 😅 I'm still not doing anything with it than just following others and heart posts.
Unless I should do something...? Hmm...
Just got an account. This site is all new to me... I might not even use it other than replying to other people's blogs!
