Moving Primary Blogs!
Hello all! It has been a while since I have posted here consistently, but I wanted to let you all know my blog has moved over to @whosetwocents here on tumblr and on instagram. I post original artwork, prompt ideas, and more to come as the pages continue to grow!
I may post on here from time to time but my main content will live over there.
When a good friend dies, certain memories of you that only your friend had die as well. In this way, part of you dies with your friend.

Could you give a tutorial on how you do hair? I just looooovvvveeee the way you did rhetts hair & beard
Hey! Thank you so much. I’m not a good teacher, but I’ll give it a shot :)
Step 1: DO NOT TRY TO DRAW EACH HAIR! Draw each bunch of hair but NEVER each hair.
Step 2: Draw a faint outline of the entire portrait using the reference photo:
Step 3: Pick one bunch of hair, and make loose, dark strokes to draw the roots of the hair. Make similar strokes at the other end of the bunch. (Remember, you’re not drawing each strand. You’re essentially drawing shadows). Don’t let them meet. This is important to render the shine in the hair. Let the pencil lift off the paper as you move towards the middle from both ends.
Step 4: Use a paper stump to smudge out the roots and the outer edge of the hair. Make loose strokes, starting from the darkest end towards the centre of the bunch. Let a few strokes run all the way through the centre to make it look like a natural shine. Then use a dark pencil to re-do smaller strokes on both ends of the bunch, to increase the contrast.
Step 5: Treat each bunch separately, and repeat till you cover the full head. To finish off, erase a few highlights from the middle of the bunches, to give a consistent shine, and smudge out the hairline for a more natural shadowed look.
I hope that was useful! Let me know if you want me to give a step by step for the rest of his face too :) - I would be completing this portrait anyway!
online drawing class starts March 14th www.radhowtoschool.com
People often say to me: “You draw like some kind of inhuman machine. If I eat your brain, will I gain your power?” The answer is yes, but there is another way. The key to precise drawing is building up muscle memory so that your arm/hand/fingers do the things you want them to do when you want them to do them. Teaching yourself to draw a straight line or to make sweet curves is just a matter of practice and there are some exercises you can do to help improve. If you’re going to be doodling in class or during meetings anyway, why not put that time to good use?
Back to the basics to refine your skills
Pros of writing gay relationships:
- gay
Cons of writing gay relationships:
- they both have THE SAME FCKIN PRONOUNS SO I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO NAME BOTH CHARACTERS BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHO’S DOING WHAT OR WHO’S SPEAKING WHO WILL SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL
I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE’S A POST ABOUT THIS. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
Worst way to deal with this: use epithets (the taller man, the blonde) DO NOT
Best way to deal with this: Use the pronouns a teensy bit more than you maybe feel is sufficient. Leave the fic for two days before editing (i.e. allow yourself to forget it a little). Come back and re-read. If at any point YOU can’t tell who’s doing what to whom, put names in. Leave the rest of the pronouns.
Also, for dialogue: use characterization instead of names. Let it be clear by the things that are said, the way they are said, who is saying them.
Readers are smart, let them infer sometimes. :)
So many people have asked me about this when writing same-sex relationships. I’ve been looking for this post for so long, I hope it helps, darlings!
How to put “wrote fan-fiction” on your résumé:
Leveraged an inventory of established fictional character and setting elements to generate a disruptive custom-curated narrative entertainment asset.
I worked in HR, handling applications and interviews, and if someone turned in that string of techno babble nonsense, I would have rejected them out of hand.
A resume doesn’t need to sound fancy or overly technical, it needs to tell us why we should hire you.
“Independent novelist/writer” is more than sufficient here. If you want to express the skills that fan fiction taught you, something like, “creative writing, editing, and publication,” will get you a lot further than… Whatever that just was.
A resume should be tailored to the position, if you can afford the time and energy for that. But if not, then just think about what writing got fandom taught you. How to respond to criticism, how to present a professional pubic face, how to correct punished mistakes, creative thinking, project planning, persuasion via emotional leverage, html formatting, office suite fluency.
There are a lot of actual, marketable skills that go into fan fiction.

action movie about a guy who pretends to be a hitman and does the whole “25% up front and the rest when the job is done” thing but then just keeps the down payment, doesn’t kill anybody, and stops responding to the client’s calls, knowing that they can’t sue him for breach of contract without confessing to trying to hire a hitman. problem is now a lot of people who are comfortable with the concept of paying someone to kill someone else are mad at him
none of his former clients know his real identity, due to him using a fresh fake for each con, so he decides that his only hope of making it out of this mess unscathed is to land the inevitable contract for his own assassination and fake his own death. thus begins his deadly race against the clock and against other actual bounty hunters, former clients, and a smoldering ex lover, whom he must betray, persuade or kill. darknet: the catfish bounty
Someone make a movie please.
Just send me 25% of the funding up front and the rest when I deliver the completed movie. I’ve got a kickstarter and

In the vast world of comics, I wonder if there have been heroes with a “Groundhog Day,” type power. By that I specifically mean a hero who, if they die, immediately finds themselves waking up at the beginning of that day again. If they don’t die, they just continue forward through time.
I’m just thinking of how crazy it would be to have that hero on your super hero team. Like, you go to headquarters in the morning, and it seems like everything’s normal. But then you go to fire off a one liner, and they say it at the same time as you. And suddenly you know. Something went wrong.
And then one day you come in, and your heart drops as you see that their every move looks rehearsed. They answer questions before asked. They are totally aware of everything that’s about to happen. Imagine how scary that would be, realizing you’re starting a day that you’re team mate has failed to survive maybe dozens of times.
“You can try to hold my hand, if you think it’ll help. But nobody’s been able to before.”
“You’re that closed off, huh?”
“No. Your hand will melt. Don’t be stupid.”
People can live for thousands of years. It’s a known and normal fact of life. When someone is born there’s only one thing that can kill them. Marked somewhere on their skin like it was carved there in the womb is how they will die. Most of humanity don’t live more than a hundred years, the people exceeding this are rare, and are marked with things like “heart attack” or “car accident”, but some are born with either unknown demises or statistically improbable things so their lives stretch on for centuries. Friendships, relationships, marriages, often all end up based around people who have similar causes. No one with centuries ahead of them wants to fall in love and lose someone twenty years later to an uncured disease.
The fake ah crew formed because of their age. All having lived through multiple ages, they drifted until they landed together in one city. A city full of wanna be immortals setting fires one moment then fireworks the next. Los Santos was hectic and the perfect place for people like them. Thrill-seekers with no expiration date.
Jeremy and Jack bonded quickly over their similar causes. Jeremy’s reading “solar flare” and Jack’s reading “planetary collision”. Jack liked to point out that that meant he could die on a space mission to populate other planets and Jeremy is sad he wouldn’t be on that ship.
Michael hid his from the others for a long time, only letting them know his age until Gavin accidentally saw the words burned across his lower back. “Rock falling from high building”. The skyscrapers make him nervous.
Geoff tried to tattoo over his mark once but the scarring just faded the ink away in a few weeks and he was left with “Jellyfish sting”. He avoids the ocean at all costs and only went to an aquarium once (where he had a panic attack at just reading the sign pointing to the Jellyfish and Ryan had to take him home early)
Gavin is most proud of his. Tugging up his shirt to show off the “witchhunt” on his stomach whenever someone’s curious. He likes to point out that there haven’t been any witch hunts in centuries and now witches are just roaming the streets with their guidebooks in hand. He swears he cheated death and missed his chance to die.
None of the others know what Ryan’s mark says. They’ve all assumed it was similar to Michael’s in it obscurity, or avoidable like Geoff’s. But he wont speak of it. He joins the others in their games and heists and even laughs with them about the way they’ve gotten better at stealing since the invention of modern weapons, namely guns and then silencers, and so on. All the while, on the back of his thigh is one word: “gunshot”

Heroes and Anti-Heroes
Every world has heroes, anti-heroes, and villains. This world is not exception, but is unfamiliar to you. You are doing an assignment for class, creating a fictional supernatural character and designing a home for them. While doing this, you get pulled into the story and have to try and play it out, figure out which monsters are good and which are bad. Some play the hero and are the villain, some are troubled but mean well. Others are out to get you because you don’t quite belong.

A village thrives in the most hostile environment in the world. Life is good for them, but hard. There are riches in the mines, no other villages to war against, and no ruler. Life is dangerous but manageable for these people. Outsiders want to move there for riches, but cannot handle the harsh weather and terrain.
Help the weak make a life, or escort them to the village or back home.
Help the current residents slay dangerous and large monsters even they have trouble with.
Help the village create yet another village, even farther into the rough terrain.
