worldbuilding tips

populations and peoples don’t just suddenly change at a border marker. cultures interact and blend.

there are usually a multitude of cultures in one place, and religions often have different factions within them

what are the differences between the upper and lower classes? is there a lower class? what system is used? fuedalism? capitalism? communism?

how does your society view and deal with poverty?

think about the diaspora. invent a large population of immigrants. why are they there? how long have they lived there? how does their culture now differentiate from their homeland?

languages. is there a global lingua franca (a language that people use to speak internationally. historically this has been latin and french, and right now, english)? if so, why That One? are there smaller lingua francas within different nations?

a large country will almost always have smaller languages within it. put some in. you don’t even have to name them, just have someone mention that they often have to translate for their parents

the lingua franca will usually be the language of the majority, but not always. if a particular ethnic group has control of the government, and therefor education, then that language will probably become more widespread. although sometimes there are “official languages” and “daily languages”

i could write a whole other post about languages honestly

what things do different cultures see as beautiful? is it eyes? hair? what parts of the body are considered scandalous. are the bodies of men and women seen differently? how do people feel about breasts?

how is makeup used? is it daily? is it ceremonial? do different colours and patterns have meanings or is purely for aesthetic? is it seen as gendered?

basically just don’t take everything in your culture as the “norm.” there is no norm. the world is weird.

learn about other cultures in our own world. please.

Thank you Tumblr

[rrionah-art]

I think I’m going to stop using tumblr for art. I don’t really have that many followers here (under 30) so there’s no loss lol. I’ll be posting my stuff in other places and recently got a twitter, too.

The design of this wonderful creature was dreamed up by https://twitter.com/MTOMauw who had a nightmare about her. And I adopted her. She’s my child now.

Tumblr is apparently doing some crazy nonsense again, so it seems like a good time to remind everyone that Pillowfort.io is a new social media platform that aims to give users control of their content and how it’s seen and shared, as well as provide better communication tools to promote conversation and creativity. If this sounds good to you, you can donate $5 to our PayPal and you will receive a registration link the Friday after your donation. And if you decide the site isn’t for you, you can request a refund for up to three weeks after you sign up. (All money we receive through this process is going towards paying our hosting expenses and compensating our programmers.)

[pillowfort-social]

Reblogging this in light of the recent news, since we’ve been getting a lot of questions from people looking to join. If you’ve sent us a payment since the 16th of November you will receive your invitation email shortly after the site returns, which will likely be tomorrow! If you want to purchase more than one registration link ($5 per link, so $15 for example would get you 3 registration links) you can give them to anyone you want– the ones you purchase are not tied to your account in any way.

Now, Pillowfort will not always require a payment to sign up; we are doing this because we are still in the process of implementing our subscription plan, which will be our source of long-term revenue, and these payments through PayPal give us funding to make sure we can pay all our server expenses, employee compensation, etc. while we are still working on implementing our business plan. Once we exit beta you will be able to join the site and use all of its essential features for free, with the option to pay for some extra goodies similar to what LiveJournal and DreamWidth offer in their subscription plans.

I’m recording my next drawing and it’s of @mto-art ‘s nightmare creature 

I turned her into Sans for a second and THAT was nightmare fuel

Maybe you’ll get to see the finished piece the coming weekend or sooner

[rrionah-art]

I decided to continue to work on it and now I’m just going to be done with it

apparently my elves are going to be purpleish

[rrionah-art]

I haven’t drawn any of of my elves for a while soooo I sat down and tried to settle for some actual facial features.

30 day improve your draws

so i looked around for something like this but all the ones i found were like HEH SUCK YOUR OWN DICK DRAW YOUR OWN BORING OCS FOR 30 DAYS DRAW HOMESTUCK FOR 30 DAYS DRAW YOUR OWN BORING OCS AS HOMESTUCK FOR 30 DAYS etc which w/e is fun buddy but i don’t find that shit helpful so i made my own that i can do. these are meant to not be super heavy time investments since i have a full time job and i need something i can spend like 2 hours tops on anyway here

DAY 1. paint a BG

DAY 2. draw a figure in perspective

DAY 3. STILL-LIFE DAY don’t go crazy but you know, challenge yourself maybe do something a bit more complicated then a rubber ball in direct sunlight

DAY 4. draw a animal you’ve never drawn before

DAY 5. paint a picture using a limited palette, you can get those anywhere but here are some sites

DAY 6. draw a figure in: 1 hour, 30 min, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds

DAY 7. put your ipod on shuffle and play the first song it gives you. illustrate that song. if you have a zune get the fuck off my blog you heretic

DAY 8. 2 POINT PERSPECTIVE DAY

DAY 9. draw the same picture 3 times with 3 different compositions

DAY 10. STYLE DAY 1 - pick a artist with a unique style and emulate it!

DAY 11. STYLE DAY 2 - pick a artist with a unique style and emulate it!

DAY 12. STYLE DAY 3 - pick a artist with a unique style and emulate it!

DAY 13. watch a movie or episode of a show that you find visually appealing. while watching draw thumbnails of shots that catch your eye and try to articulate why it’s visually appealing/why it works

DAY 14. paint another BG but it has to be different than the one you did  DAY 1 SO if you painted a outdoors scene, do a interior if you painted a tree try some water w/e

DAY 15. do a lineart, then swap with a friend who also did a lineart and color each other’s pictures. if you don’t have friends then make some ok

DAY 16. paint a portrait of your favorite celebrity (mine is adrian brody!!)

DAY 17. do another limited palette picture b/cuz they’re easy and fun but this time after you’re done INVERT THE PALETTE (CTRL + I in photoshop) AND PAINT A DIFFERENT PICTURE whoa

DAY 18. close your eyes and draw 3 random shapes with your non-dominant hand, then turn those shapes into legit draws

DAY 19. MAGICAL GIRL DAY FUCK ok go to here and draw the first 3 you get. i guess you could use any of the other generators but why would you want to?

DAY 20. pick a body part you have trouble with, find a bunch of photo references (or use yourself/a friend that you should have made by now) and fill up a whole page/canvas with studies

DAY 21. 3 POINT PERSPECTIVE DAY

DAY 22. random.org 1-648 3x. gijinka the corresponding pokemon no cheating yes metapod is 9 kinds of lame but do it anyway this is about growth i’m already trying to make it fun quit bitching. if you don’t like pokemon go to wikipedia and hit “random page” until you get 3 animals and gijinka them.

DAY 23. draw the keyframes of a walk cycle

DAY 24. this is a project i did in my intro to drawing for non-majors class (aka confused business majors who need a fine arts gen ed and couldn’t get into ceramics). pick a ancient culture that you’re interested in (aka not contemporary japan you giant child) and find a sculpture or piece of art (3D works best) that really speaks to your heart or some shit. render it as realistically as possible. this may seem odd but it was a weirdly engaging project for me except you have it easy b/cuz i had to recreate it on a 4ft x 8ft canvas in ink and, while engaged, i also wanted to fucking die the entire time (almost 2 weeks) so that’s the feeling you should be aiming for here

DAY 25. YOU’RE GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY DAY! find the oldest picture you have and redraw it for a quick and dirty self-esteem boost

DAY 26. have a friend draw you 3 very rough gestures and then you finish them. if you still don’t have friends you have bigger problems than needing to work on your art i gave you 10 days to find a buddy which is pretty generous i think

DAY 27. pick 3 basic geometric shapes, design 3 characters utilizing those shapes

DAY 28. find a book, open to a random page and draw the 2nd sentence

DAY 29. pick a character (whatever) and draw them happy, sad and angry. be consistent and push the expressions/pose

DAY 30. real talk nobody ever makes it to day 30 i could pretty much say anything here and it wouldn’t matter at all. i’m making this day about me, this is my day, national johre day. draw yourself god tier while listening to really cool music. pretend you are really a god wearing cool pajamas and have amazing powers and are not actually a disenchanted alcoholic woman lost in the financial abyss of post-university life christ almighty help me 

[apple-pie-thighs]

I’m doing this!!

[rrionah-art]

Hello me and gf are the purge inspired and i am also wearing my negan jacket and boots along with my Lucille I made the masks myself with v for vendetta masks, spraypaint and led string or whatever it is We put a couple of meter of leds in the dresses :D

[rrionah-art]

let me tell you about the family buddy belongs to, the murphys. 

basically we wanted a stereotypical “horror movie” family, soooo a bunch of hillbillys living in the middle of nowhere in the woods. they obviously own a creepy gas station. there are rumors in town that they are cannibals (they aren’t. we do have other cannibals on the site, they live in the mountains, not the forest). they’ve been hunters for g e ene ra t i ons, and four of those generations live under the same roof. the house is old as balls. i keep imagining it as the house in RE7. their land is p huge as well. 

somewhere way back in the family line, something obviously went wrong, because they have a line of inbred folks as well, which is the line buddy comes from. how buddy ended up with the uuhh normal murphys, i dont know. but he did when he was like 8. he’s 30 now. he lives in the basement. he’s a basement child. we went there. he doesn’t really belong to the rest of the family and they make it obvious. poor buddy. 

since the rp site is a supernatural rp site, they obviously hunt supernatural things. kids learn eVERYTHING from an early age. different type of weapons, how to kill different creatures, yada yada. except for granma. granma is a wendigo they keep in a barn. granpa doesn’t want to let go of her, i guess.

buddy is the one who gets to feed her because he’s just the type of person you take advantage of because he’s too sweet and naive for his own good so yes of course he will feed tHE FUCKING DANGEROUS WENDIGO IN THE BARN to make granpa happy.

theyre not really educated except for one of the kids who went to college. granpa does his own experiments on creatures and has learned a thing or two by now considering he’s like +70. mama is a sweet woman who loves to bake pies. papa is often in a wheelchair due to CP but you’ll find him a-hunting anyway and he doesn’t approve of grandma in the barn. the daughters are brats but they hunt as well, one of them has four kids of her own because what is a condom. they’re all very religious, obviously. if you ask them, the earth is flat. 

aaaand then there’s buddy who just enjoys creating his taxidermy masks and whatnot. 

[rrionah-art]

i needed a faceclaim for my new OC buddy so i just fuckin fixed this version of jason voorhees in paintstorm cus it’s sort of what i imagined him to look like.

no photoshop used. i’ve painted in everything. made his skin look younger bc OC is 30. got rid of the gross thin hair and gave him eyebrows. yeah. p much what i imagine buddy to look like. just realized i shouldve brightened up the skin on the neck and chest but whatever. 

[rrionah-art]

anyway i’m drawing bubba next but probably ditching the chainsaw and just drawing the hammer instead?????
