”potentially mature content” what the hell, sure

[velvetvexations]

Lovecraft wrote down all the ideas that came to him to do something with later and there are some real bangers in there

NIGHT-GAUNTS

Out of what crypt they crawl, I cannot tell,

But every night I see the rubbery things,

Black Burned , and slender, with membranous wings,

They come in legions on the north wind's swell

With obscene clutch that titillates and stings,

Snatching me off on monstrous voyagings

To grey worlds hidden deep in nightmare's well.

Over the jagged peaks of Thok they sweep,

Heedless of all the cries I try to make,

And down the nether pits to that foul lake

Where the puffed shoggoths splash in doubtful sleep.

But ho! If only they would make a sound,

Or wear a face where faces should be found!

historical inaccuracies in period dramas are okay as long as i like them

[isabellaofparma]

Color palette tutorial time!

This is by no means the Only Way To Pick Colors—it’s just a relatively-simple method I use sometimes.  I’ve found it works pretty well, almost regardless of what colors you pick—as long as you can keep them organized by those light/dark warm/cool categories, and make sure one category takes up a significantly higher proportion of page space, it usually turns out pretty good!

I struggled with color for a long time before eventually reaching this conclusion, and here it is all laid out nicely for you lucky people by the talented and Eisner-nominated Melanie Gillman. So listen to them!

Now if that halftime show didn’t encourage us writers, idk what will.
