Star child

HI, I'm Mika. I post short stories and sometimes art. I'm an amateur artist/writer so as of right now I'll be doing free commissions. I draw wolves/cats/foxes, no people, sorry.

LMAOOOOOO

[fernacular]

Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

[fernacular]

So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

Dear people planning to move to pillowfort:

As someone not involved in the development of pillowfort but am a web developer, I think you should lower your expectations, but not for the reason you think.

Pillowfort is a baby. A newborn. A smol bab. If you were here during the early days of Tumblr, think of that. 

Pillowfort simply cannot be the immediate solution to your woes. It needs to be nurtured and cared for to become a mature and happy adult. 

If you want Pillowfort to work, they’ll need feedback, advice, bug reports, etc. This is a chance to make Pillowfort the Ao3 of Fanfiction.net. It’s not gonna happen overnight, you need to give it time and love and it’ll get there. 

If you don’t want to pay money to get into the beta, that’s ok. It will be open to the public soon enough and you won’t have to pay a dime. Their financial model moving forward sounds good (a subscription fee for super extra features), but even an Ao3 model would work swell for them probably. 

We’re living in an interesting time on the internet. Governments across the world are cracking down on content and yet community run websites are starting to thrive more and more. 

Tumblr once upon a time was what Pillowfort is today, but this time, let’s make sure Pillowfort can stay independent from mega corporations. 

[achraya]

Be good to the bab, so one day the bab can be good to you. 

[twocatstailoring]

raise your babs well and you won’t get put in a old folks home that smells like pee.

[celesticidal]

This is an important thing to think about.  If we want fandom spaces, we have to help care for them – with content, yes, but they’re going to need money and community support to thrive independently.  They’re going to need people willing to be patient when they stumble.  

While there’s ultimately no guarantee any community won’t eventually be sold off to a corporation, we can make it a lot less likely to happen by a) giving it a feasible way to support itself and b) not being absolute assholes to the team behind it.

[snowstormthefox]

I might also move to pillowfort. It'll be my yule gift to me uwu

[rederiswrites]

Not that there’s a thing wrong with fantasy heroes that start their journeys by being in the wrong place at the right time, because lots of real people really do become heroes by rising to events that they didn’t seek out, but! I want more fantasy with heroes that saw something terrible was happening and went looking for trouble. More stories with people who *could* have stayed safe and warm and chose not to. More heroes who made a deliberate choice to put themselves in harm’s way for the good of others.

P.S.– all this fate and secret heritage and magical destiny nonsense is here on sufferance and had better bring something new to the table.

[battlecrazed-axe-mage]

When your character is a dumbass who makes terrible life choices but you’re Committed To That Roleplay

Instead of trying to make Mars hospitable, it would be easier to prevent the Earth from becoming inhospitable.

[ruptorune]

Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

[waywardsignns-a]

Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

[sandersstudies]

This is blatantly untrue

Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.

Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to regain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)

Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,

DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.

Please reblog this version of the post to stop the spread of misinformation.

Quickie writing/editing tip

In your SECOND DRAFT, do a search in your document for the words there was/there were/there is/there are.

Consider if rewriting the sentence to delete those words will make it stronger or more concise (often it will).

For example:

There was a dog sleeping in front of the fire.

A dog slept in front of the fire.

This tip goes double for the “there was… that” construction.

For example:

There was no reason that she couldn’t go.

She saw no reason she couldn’t go.

I think of it like this: in a first draft, “there was” is shorthand for “polish this later.” DO NOT overthink it in a first draft or you’ll get stuck. SECOND DRAFT PROBLEMS.

[snowstormthefox]

We are all this man right now.

[awed-frog]

when you’re trying to write and your last two functioning brain cells start yelling at each other

[soloshikigami]

Yeah this is about right… at least when it comes to my original stuff. I need to just shut up and do it.

[snowstormthefox]

Taking a break from tumblr purge memes to encourage writers (and myself)! UwU

All the NSFW blogs right now.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.

children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

couple things here:

multiple things can actually be bad at the same time

I’m 32

[bramblepatch]

couple more things:

Little kids really aren’t equipped to work full time without damaging their physical, mental, and emotional development and health, and when you play the “but adults work all day!” card you sound like a nineteenth century textile baron.

Highschoolers can easily be “working” 40+ hours a week, between school, homework, and extracurriculars and/or part-time work, and still hear this smug “:/ wait til you get to the real world sweaty” rhetoric all the time.

The original claim here wasn’t even “school is too hard,” it was “school is failing to perform its most basic function,” which is different.

[wheeloffortune-design]

from an adult point of view:

- When my work day is done, it’s done. I don’t need to spend hours each night to study or do homework. 

- I don’t have tests and exams.

- I MAKE MONEY. 

[zelda-guru-momi]

Sometimes I’ll be at home and start freaking out that I haven’t done any homework yet before I realize “Wait I’m 30.”

Or I’ll be asleep dreaming that I’m at school but suddenly realize at the end of the semester that I’ve missed all my classes and don’t know what’s going on

School/homework has to be a stressful thing if it gives people anxiety and nightmares over a decade after graduation.

[edenfenixblogs]

On a serious note: I agree with all of this.

On another note “you sound like a 19th century textile baron” is my new fave insult.

[supermuuh]

…. After hearing that pornhub is reaching out to #tumblrmigration im HONSTLY thinking about to try it out as an illustrator… OKAY OKAY I KNOW… it sounds weird and cringy, but hear me out tho!   Pornhub has already more then 1000 furry-art-albums… and they are also a really powerfull platform who takes care of it’s stuff …   *cough* And you could also have monthly payment for exclusive art …

Any pro or contras, guys  ???  I want to hear your oppinion…

[snowstormthefox]

Also, doesn't pornhub have a payment system where you can monetize and get paid for views? Or is that just for videos? Maybe they'll adapt something like that for artists? Pornhub is truly the mvp tho

[microcosmicobservations]

Can someone please explain to me why this lichen is flagged as adult content

but not this Calostoma cinnabarinum?

[wonszu]

I think it’s the fleshy coloured background, which if you squint very hard looks like a butt crack.

[tratserenoyreve]

skin is now illegal on tumblr dot internet. time to atone for the sin of your fleshy mortal coil.

[supermuuh]

I made dis….congrats tumblr… you wanted a self destruction? Because that’s exactly how you get a self destruction!
