When social distancing means you canāt stab at your friends with swords so you end up using a needle to do all the stabbing instead. lol š”ļø
Itās kind of crazy to think over a hundred pairs of bracers went out of the shop in 2020 alone; all hand punched, stitched, and dyed by yours truly. ^^
As always a huge thank you to everyone who visited the shop, and for your wonderful comments and feedback. ā¤ļø
I canāt wait to show you the new pieces coming next month!!

You'll always be the villain in someone else's story.
No matter what you do, or what you've done, they perceive you as the bad guy. It all.plays out differently in their head.
But knowing this, you'll also always be the HERO in another's story.
So let those who portray you as a villain continue to live in their sad story book, while you continue to write your own.

I know I shouldn't
But I compare myself to ladies in porn alot.
Or like..even ladies on Onlyfans. Hot chicks with big tits and skinny waists and thicc thighs.
My boyfriend just showed me a pic of a big tiddie girl (which is very normal for us; we show each other that stuff all the time and even point out hot girls together alot) but I'm....so self conscious lately.
I'm losing weight. I'm down 20lbs since I started fasting, but I'm...stuck. It hasn't budged. And I'm so disheartened by it.
I get disgusted seeing myself in the mirror.
I hate showering or going to bed cause I can't stand seeing my body.(I sleep in my underwear cause Florida.)
And idk
I just dont know what to do
He always tells me Im pretty, beautiful, sexy, etc...but its hard to believe, you know? I've always known I'm average. Very average. But at least a couple of years ago I was slim and toned.
Now I don't even have that going for me.
I don't look good with body fat.
Alotta chubby and fat girls look fly af and cute as hell and I admire them, but I just...don't. It doesn't sit on me right. It all goes to my belly and back and like..no where else.
Idk
Just having a day of self hating I guess.
Iām crying

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he āregularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,ā I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I fucking love him
i can imagine this guyās voice very clearly in my head but i couldnāt put a name to itĀ
He also jabs racists in the eye!
I love the justice grandpa of fists
Iām very lucky to own a book thatās a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.
He was a enjoyable cuss who didnāt care for war mongering.
Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!
He certainly didnāt like selfish husbands and fathers!
Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs werenāt safe.
He said fuck the police!
He absolutely didnāt like people ruining little things for kids.
He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.
He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.
You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. Heād right that wrong real quick!
And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.
I have a new role model

ājustice grandpa of fistsā
Itās nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon thatās NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.
Hes like the personification of motherfucker unlimited
Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I havenāt seenā¦why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.
we need him more than everā¦
Hey i just hekkin love when my bf gets super angry playing stupid fucking magic the gathering and slams his fists down super hard on our damn glass dining room table super great hearing that three times in a row because god forbid hes losing. threatening to not eat dinner if he loses again why the fuck do i bother cooking im just im so tired.
im so upset and hurt
i just wanna sleep and not wake up till tomorrow night.
Sometimes I miss my highschool friends. We were so close. So inseparable. We felt unstoppable. Like we would never cease to be friends in some way, shape, or form.
But differences are born to occur. It's only natural as we, as humans, grow.
The biggest difference?
I matured.
They stayed the same.
I grew in my ways, progressed past the childish antics and cruelty.
They held firm to who they were.
And that's fine.
That's their choice to make.
Their decision to not let go. To not let dead dogs lie.
But my choice was to move on. To improve myself for the better in so many ways.
And maybe it's a little bit out of spite for how they hurt me and wronged me, how they betrayed me in their own doings, but I only want to keep. Getting. Better.
In life.
In art.
In music.
In all the ways I can.
I want to outshine everyone who had hurt me, including my past self.
Granted, the me that is in their memories will probably forever be that little shit who wasn't afraid to start a fight over everything.
And that's okay.
They can hold onto those tainted memories and let them rip away at their souls.
I'm going to move forward and upward.
I NEED TO RANT ABOUT WORK
I know no one reads my posts so Imma just
Unload.
A year ago, back in March 2019, my Kennel staff consisted of myself (manager on duty, aka mod), a male friend named Fabian (mod), a female friend named Alex (kennel tech), an assistant manager named Sarah, and a kennel manager named Anita.
A good team all around. Sarah was meh cause she was a lazy and cut corners alot, but not the worst. She had her good moments and was always willing to help me.
The problematic villain of this rant is the manager; Anita.
Anita is 56 years old, and EXTREMELY old fashioned. Im talking sexist, racist, homophobic southern gun slinging "iTs mY rIgHt!" type deal. Hated trans people. Hated gay people. Hated African Americans and called Asians "Orientals".
You get the picture.
Now, I myself, being of the LGBTQ+ community, ALREADY butted heads with her.
But I was also one of the two people implementing change in the kennel (they hired me on so I would, eventually, replace her).
She. Hates. Change.
So much so that the head managers didn't want to put up with her constant bitching and complaints and just let her do whatever she fucking wanted.
No matter how good our system was and how TERRIBLE her old ones were, she got her way.
Then, one day, she wasn't listening and being careful when walking this dog named Luna. A very timid, small, but HELLA strong German Shepard. A good dog when you're in control.
But Anita was never in control.
She got yanked over.
Fell.
And broke her hand. At 6:30 in the morning.
Problem was, being the stubborn woman she was, she refused to go to the dr until about 12:30 in the afternoon. A whole six hours later, all while walking dogs, bathing, feeding, etc.
This caused issues in her tendons and muscles as well.
So she was forced to go on medical leave. We didn't know for how long at first, but it gradually went from a week or two to nearly four months.
FOUR MONTHS OF PEACE AND JOY.
Like.
You don't understand how HAPPY and WONDERFUL everyone was in the kennel. Just the four of us! Things were SO SMOOTH. No issues! No problems! Management never had to intervene like they did when Anita was there! We solved issues together, worked well with one another, and it was like a god damned dream.
One of our Managers was talking about just letting Anita go because she needed to retire (and honestly shes the MOST EXPENSIVE person on the kennel staff considering her pay for what little she does).
We were ecstatic.
But then..
It never happened.
She came back.
Healed up.
And her tyrrany started up again with an astounding amount of force.
Every single thing we said against her opinion was us "starting a fight". She would cry to the managers, wail about how we don't respect her authority, and cause so many problems.
Fabian quit.
Then Sarah.
And finally, Alex.
My amazing team of Kennel staff dwindled down to just me and Anita (and a few part timers/seasonals but they never really lasted..)
I was, and still am, so very upset and hurt by this.
They lost THREE good workers, and a WONDERFUL staff team because they didn't want to deal with the possible earful they'd get from firing the center of literally every single issue we've ever had.
They even AGREED that the months Anita was gone were blissful.
And yet they kept her around.
For what? She never did her job.
I picked up her slack in every way.
It was exasperating how every day was a fight with her.
How every single thing she has to question and demand be done this way or its wrong.
How she only listened to have a chance to respond and spoke over everything I said oe did.
How she constantly ran to the managers like a damn 5 year old trying to get their sibling in trouble for shit they didn't do.
I was having anxiety attacks DAILY before work.
And then her bitching RUINED my schedule.
I had the schedule I enjoyed; 6am to 2pm every day, Sun and Mon off.
She REFUSED to close.
The MANAGER. REFUSED. TO CLOSE. I DONT GET How they let that be a thing!! And she liveS 5 minutes down THE ROAD.
I live AN HOUR away. Traffic in the afternoon is a NIGHTMARE. Mornings were always better for me in all the ways, but no. She couldn't do it and they let her have her way.
Again.
And again.
When the Quarantine happened they kept only her on staff cause she lived so close.
I was furloughed.
Got unemployment.
Been stress free the whole time and I'm so happy she hasn't been back to work since I've returned, but I know it's coming.
And I don't want it.
I don't want to deal with her bs again.
I can't.

Trying to draw buildings
yo hereās a useful tip from your fellow art ho cynellisā¦ use google sketchup to create a model of the room/building/town youāre trying to drawā¦ then take a screenshot & use it as a reference! Itās simple & fun!
Sketchup is incredibly helpful. I canāt recommend it enough.
Thereās a 3D model warehouse where you can download all kinds of stuff so you donāt have to build everything from scratch.

This is an incomplete tutorial, and it drives me crazy every time I see it come around.
We live in a pretty great digital age and we have access to a ton of amazing tools that artists in past generations couldnāt even dream of, but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of using it.
Hereās the missing part of this tutorial:
How do you populate your backgrounds?
Well, hereās the answer:
If the focus is the environment, you must show a person in relation to that environment.
The examples above are great because they show how to use the software itself, but each one just kind of āplopsā the character in front of their finished product with no regard of the personās relation to their environment.
How do you fix this?
Well, hereās the simplest solution:
This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and comic artists alike when theyāre quickly planning compositions. Itās simple and it requires you to do some planning before you sit down to crank out that polished, final version of your work, but it will be the difference between a background and an environment.
From Blacksad (artist: Juanjo Guarnido)
From Hellboy (Mike Mignola)
Even if your draftsmanship isnāt that great (like mine), people can be more immersed in the story you tell if you just make it feel like there is a world that exists completely separate from the one in which they currently reside ā not just making a backdrop the characters stand in front of.
Your creations live in a unique world, and it is as much a character as any other member of the cast. Make it as believable as they are.
Great comments and tutorials!
Iām a 3d artist and have been exploring the possibilities of using 3d as reference for 2d poses. I want to add a couple of tips and things!
Sketchup is very useful for environment references, and I assume itās reasonably easy to learn. If youāre interested in going above and beyond, I highly recommend learning a proper 3d modeling program to help with art, especially because you can very easily populate a scene or location with characters!
Using 3ds Max I can pretty quickly construct an environment for reference. But going beyond that, I can also pose a pretty simple āCATāĀ armature (known in 3d as a rig) straight into the scene, which can be totally customized, from various limbs, tails, wings, whatever, to proportions, and also can be modeled onto and expanded upon (for an example, you could 3d sculpt a head reference for your character and then attach it to the CAT rig, so you have a reference for complex face angles!)
The armature can also be posed incredibly easily. I know programs exist for stuff like this - Manga Studio, Design Doll - but posing characters in these programs is always an exercise in frustration and very fiddly imo. A simple 3d rig is impossibly easy to pose.
By creating an environment and dropping my character rig into it, I have an excellent point of reference when it comes to drawing the scene!
Not only that, but I can also view the scene from whatever angle I could ever want or need, including the character and their pose/position relative to the environment.
We can even quickly and easily expand this scene to include more characters!
Proper 3d modeling software is immensely powerful, and if you wanted to, you could model a complex environment that occurs regularly in your comic or illustration work (say, a castle interior, or an outdoor forest environment) and populate the scene with as many perspective-grounded characters as you need!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at this amazing addition! This is fantastic!
Not just poses, you can also do this with lighting. Playing with lights in Blender is pretty fun.
Another cool thing: http://www.makehumancommunity.org lets you generate a human model. Like a character creator in a game, but more flexible, and the result is ready to import into a 3d editor like Blender.
This was a lot shorter last time it appeared here. Reblogging for the updated tips and to save a life!
