Something I made for a 10 days art contest on twitch last week.

Backstory:

In a post apocalyptic world, a young explorer is set to retrieve mysterious artefacts left behind by an ancient civilization living in towering vertical cities.

These tower cities formerly hosted bird people that worshiped the "Kroissoux", gigantic floating rocks resembling croissants.

i made a character sheet. free to use as you wish, feel free to change whatever you want XD open source ass thing. spent all of ~maybe an hour on it.

Credit: the text in the insert-image box comes from this video, and the text for the top three lines (intense, complex, fruity) comes from this post. The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.

[ID: A character sheet with the heading, "OMG its BLORBO BLEEBUS". A space for the name is labeled "This scrungly motherfucker is", and a space for an image that is already occupied by text reading "blorbo bleebus brings GOOD luck / NOT bad luck / see, him face... / and I am not dead today! / good luck!".

The sheet contains the following fields:

Three fields with 10 fill boxes each, labeled "Intense", "Complex", and "Fruity". Text to the side of these reads, "If you or a loved one is attached to a character who fills all these boxes, you may be entitled to financial compensation."

A field for "sub-classes" with a "select all that apply" note, containing 12 longer boxes labeled "Angst-lord", "Enemy of the State", "Flavor Container", "Himbo", "Soft and Sweet", "Braincell Haver", "This Is A Kink", "Just Like You FR", "Chew Toy", "Friend-Shaped", "Aspirational Character", and "Little Meow Meow"

10 checkboxes labeled, "Tragic backstory?", "Orphan?", "Frequently violent?", "Divorced?", "Has enemies?", "No friends?", "Sidekick owner?", "Pets stray animals?", "Chronic insomniac?", and "Murderer?"

10 sliders labeled "just some guy/the protagonist of life", "head empty/too many thoughts", "awful company/ray of sunshine", "hated by all/beloved by all", "trauma x1000/untouched by history", "sadistic for fun/helps others for fun", "stupid as shit/scary-smart", "1,000 weapons/1,000 tools", "enemy of god/at peace with life", "break the rules/change the rules"

10 more checkboxes with the heading "Evokes" and a note to select all that apply, labeled, "spontaneous gushing", "powerful violent urges", "raw, unbridled affection", "The Horny", "late-night thoughts", "meta-posting on main", "creative drive", "defensive feelings", "distraction", "delight", "symptoms of projection", "absent-minded doodles on tabletops", and "the most godawful hot takes known to mankind"

20 more checkboxes with the heading "You want them to have" and a note to select all that apply, labeled, "a better time", "a worse time", "more trauma", "less trauma", "more romance", "less romance", "different romance", "more friends", "painful isolation", "a family", "catharsis", "revenge", "sympathy", "a better situation", "a worse situation", "more healing", "less healing", "more sex", "less sex", "different sex", "different friends", "freedom", "justification", "The Realization™", "consequences", and "a satisfying ending"

[donutsbagels]

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

[marat]

Drawing challenge: draw your favorite male characters like this

[thatdemonbish]

this is exactly why i’m a huge fan of posemaniacs!

you get 3d model pose references with the option of having a male or female anatomy for each pose

they have a WIDE VARIETY of poses that you can search for using a TAG SYSTEM

(as you can see by the scroll bar in the second image there is Even More Tags)

you can select a pose you like for larger viewing and the convenience doesn’t stop!!!

you have full 360 viewing range of the pose plus zooming in and out

and what’s that? a TOOLBAR?? MENU?? THING??

Correct!

the eye button hold a very fun menu

negative space blacks out the background and fills the pose with a solid white silhouette

the “texture” refers to the skin situation of the model with the “color” and “grey” shown below

(i usually use color personally)

then there’s the option of different sized drawing grids(4 and 16 below)

idk wtf bounding box is about but it looks like this if it matters to you

“floor” toggles all shadows on the floor, “floor grid” you guessed it puts a like perspective guide grid on the floor that goes to forever, and “shadow” toggles ALL shading. there is NO lighting happening if you turn that off. NONE.

NEXT ITEM! that box thing with the line through it? flips the pose horizontally.

the little person symbol? lets you switch anatomies

camera icon? you can choose from a selection of preset camera angles PLUS an option for … idk what to call it but you can do this!

less flat right!! i’m sure there’s a word i just don’t know but this is maximum *that* so there is less *that* if you want it

the lightbulb gives you a menu like the camera one but it offers a selection of lighting styles with variable intensity

CHARMING!

and that’s not even everything this site provides!!!!!!! they have tutorials, instructional videos, lessons, all sorts of shit!!! (although they are vast majority if not all in japanese just a heads up)

AND ITS ALL FREE

DONT EVEN NEED TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT OR APPROVE OF COOKIES JUST GET IN DO YOUR THING GET OUT NO STRINGS ATTACHED

and if you don’t have ad blocker or are on mobile(like me) NOT TO WORRY

the ads are few and far between! ZERO video ads, NONE take over your screen or glitch you at all, they are of no concern i forget they’re there!

(this is not at all sponsored btw i’m just a genuine fan of this site and i’m happy to spread the good word unprompted)

i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.

[barkingzerbra]

hjyj shippers are sleeping on "honeymoon" as a ship name

Drew this to celebrate the (very nearby I’m sure) death of Twitter

Two moods.
