we’ve got big news!

drumroll please.. silas is moving in with me! 

due to certain issues at home (homophobia, mainly), silas needs to leave. she’s leaving in secret, because we believe her parents would try to stop her if they knew. that means she’s limited to packing whatever they won’t notice, and whatever will fit in one suitcase. we’re planning for her to get here sometime in November, but the exact date isn’t decided yet.

i live with my family, who all know about this and are excited to meet silas! i don’t have a job because of a recent decline in my mental health, but i’m searching for one that i can manage. we have enough money to cover her plane ticket, but i’ll need to buy a few things in order to prepare for a new person living here and we’ll need some way to support ourselves until i get a job. that’s where this post comes in!

we have a ko-fi for our advice blog, and we’ve also made a cashapp in case anyone wants to help us out. this is not urgent, so don’t feel bad if you’re not able to contribute or want to give your money to someone in more dire need! i am willing to crochet for anyone who would like recompense, or promote you if you’d like!

DRYP - an app that keeps your plants alive and happy

Hi Tumblr!

I know I’ve been gone for a while.

In part it’s because I’ve been working on an app!

I keep a lot of plants. I think everyone should!

- They clean your air - They give you something to name - They give you something to take care of - They teach you about care, needs, and resources - They make you look like you’re good at decorating

Here are some of mine:

But some people, because they’re overwhelmed or simply can’t figure out how to start, think that plants are out of their reach.

DRYP is for newcomers and experts.

It reminds you when to water

And it helps you fix what’s broken

If you think the world would be better with this app in it, please consider contributing to the Kickstarter!

I’ve tried to make it worth your while:

Again here’s the link to contribute:

Deviantart Prank with friends:

1. Gather your buddies. 2. Pick an unsuspecting 13 year old (preferably with OCs) 3. Send them fanart. 4. Sit back and watch dreams come true

[robotjiji-deactivated20190529]

as someone who made shitty ocs when i was 13 (and still does), if someone who was really good at art did fanart of my ocs when i was a kid it would have made my whole damn year. do it

I finished my very first map part! it’s a pmv part with my oc’s, check it out!! (super proud!)

[fucktonofanatomyreferencesreborn]

A helpful fuck-ton of boob references.

Note that since this contains long images that are currently fuzzy (because tumblr just doesn’t want to display ‘em clearly), you gotta reverse-image search 'em in google. Just because it’s a little extra work doesn’t mean you oughtn’t do it; the large image on the right is totally worth the effort for female anatomy, and the one of the left is also helpful with bra things. They’re all quite helpful.

For those in the path, seems like timely advice. Be safe above all!

Hey, people who go to conventions, let’s have a chat.

This past weekend a whole bunch of my friends were at 3 separate conventions and all of them were tweeting very similar experiences with convention goers: being told their art was the wrong ship, or their favorite characters were bad, or that their art was in some other way unacceptable. People placed food and bags on their work, or complained about their prices to their faces. It’s happened to me. I’ve had people tell me they hate the characters I have prints of to my face. I’ve had adults tell me my ship is disgusting. I’ve had people complain about the quality of my art. These are my favorite characters, that I’ve made art of, in the hopes to share my art and my love for those characters with other people. Artists at conventions are at work. For some people, this is their full-time job. And they put passion and love into the things they create. They put time and money into creating the things we take for granted at cons.

Can we stop treating artists like they’re not people, with feelings? If you think something about the work at a table is a genuine issue, bring it up with con staff. If you don’t like a character based on something in the show, that’s fine. You can discuss it with your friends, not with the person who has put time into making art of that character. Don’t put your food and water on paper merchandise. If you don’t like the price of something, you are not obligated to buy it. 

Please, just. Think before you speak. Be kind. And if you don’t like something, you just walk away. The artist isn’t going to change who they are or what they draw because you told them you hate it.

Hey, yeah, just adding that this applies to cosplays and panels, too! We all work so hard to do what we do, let us be proud of what we’ve made.

THANK YOU! ANON!

I stopped the coloring of the shirt here cause I guess you get the basic idea. If you wanna see more of the coloring and the brush I use you can look HERE! Also you can see how not just folds but shading can define a form HERE!

I hope this helps! I’m so bad with words and explaining things (/)//(/)

[rbbtrd]

a pal asked me how i drew teeth so i made this quick lil mini tutorial on how i do it!! this is by no means a professional tutorial and im still learning but i hope this might b helpful to some!

[erichibbeler]

A long time ago an anon asked my thoughts about drawing backgrounds, so I finally got around to putting this together. It’s more prop-centric, but it still represents my philosophy to backgrounds. 

I’ll try to do something more about drawing actual background spaces in the future! Please let me know what you think, if anything is unclear, or if you have suggestions for other tutorials you might find helpful!

[eschergirls]

Another neat tutorial I thought might be interesting for people who follow this blog! :D

The future is here today: you can't play Bach on Youtube because Sony says they own his compositions

James Rhodes, a pianist, performed a Bach composition for his Youtube channel, but it didn’t stay up – Youtube’s Content ID system pulled it down and accused him of copyright infringement because Sony Music Global had claimed that they owned 47 seconds’ worth of his personal performance of a song whose composer has been dead for 300 years.

This is a glimpse of the near future. In one week, the European Parliament will vote on a proposal to force all online services to implement Content ID-style censorship, but not just for videos – for audio, text, stills, code, everything.

Just last week, German music professor Ulrich Kaiser posted his research on automated censorship of classical music, in which he found that it was nearly impossible to post anything by composers like Bartok, Schubert, Puccini and Wagner, because companies large and small have fraudulently laid claim to their whole catalogs.

Europeans have one week to contact their MEPs to head off this catastrophe.

Stop what you’re doing and contact two friends in the EU right now and send them to Save Your Internet – before it’s too late.
