So many women. Who’d have thought. They’re as brave as the men. Sometimes they are much braver than the men. And the most fierce, her name is Lagertha.

please DO NOT assume that just because my character is doing something that i as the writer

approve of it

am romanticizing it

have a kink with regard to it

think it is okay for anyone to ever do ever

because sometimes my character does things that I absolutely cringe at and which are almost painful to write.

but my writing a villain does not make me a villian

understand that it is fiction and I do not condone the wrong actions that sometimes are written out on my blog for in-character purposes.

SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

[rosalarian]

There are waves of times when a bunch of people decide every character I write is always acting in ways I condone, and I’m currently in one of those times. Seriously, even main characters aren’t gonna always or even often do things I approve of. Characters gotta have flaws beyond “clumsy” or “often late.”

This is how I draw hands. I simplify the shape and then later I will add the necessary details. It makes it easier to get them right. But the only way to learn how to draw hands is to just keep drawing them.

Thankfully I still have the original in a video somewhere. I quite liked it actually. He’s just very passionate about it and if you’re going to go for it, really go for it. ;)

Skin tone swatches, for use as a resource. 

Spudfuzz on Deviantart made the original resource, which I modified to be a bit more realistic. She gave me permission to post this.

☛These swatches, like all art resources, should be used as a “jumping off point!” All colours are relative, and change with lighting conditions. As they are now, these swatches work best for adoptables, character lineups, and other art where local colour is important. ☚
