bug report for the dashboard unfucker: for some reason, it just started doing this to tumblr whenever i have it on

There's a collection of elements that can't be detached from the DOM without causing a crash when resizing the window below certain sizes, and it updated at some point without me realizing. Should be fixed in v4.2.0b.

assign my dad? heres some misc stories and other things i can remember about him

> he is very loud. once he filled a crouded bar just by projecting his voice (there was only one mic and his band decided it should go on the guitar)

> met my mom handing out fliers for the Rhode island socialist party

> G-d/the universe said "fuck this guys legs". he was born with a hip defect, then had some sort of muscle weakening/flesh eating virus in his legs, then slipped on black ice and broke his leg in 3 places

> once stole all of the pumpkins from his neighborhood on the night before Halloween and dropped them off in front of the local newspaper hoping to see an article about the prank. the employees of the newspaper thought the pumpkins were a gift for them

> started balding at 19

I can't assign every single dad Demo. Heavy

i have a charachter who, based on her genetics, should be a bony twink like her father (theyre a version of an already established charachter so i cant just change it, and her other parent is an eldritch monstrosity so their genes dont factor into her body type), but shes also supposed to be a freindly, cheerful charachter, and should therefore be potrayed with round shapes. how do i do both?

In lieu with shape-language in character design, round shapes and soft edges tell us of a gentle and friendly character. Someone we’re supposed to feel safe and attached to by default. But what if your character doesn’t inherently possess any such shapes in their base anatomy.

There’s no say that you would HAVE to adhere to shape-language and theory it deploys about human psycology and our response to certains shapes. However, if you want to still deploy these methods to convey a friendly character - then here’s a few pointers on how you can work around your bony design .

When we talk about the primary shapes in shape-language, we often refer to the shapes most present in the sihlouette. Now, a lot of people, particularly if you’re not used to work in sihlouettes before doing your initial design, tend to consider the character’s anatomy as the major part of the character’s sihlouette ( this also applies to projects where the visual language leans heavier on the realistic side - and thusly can’t feasibly integrate absurd or abstract shapes into their designs as easily ). However, if you’re faced with a problem of a character’s anatomy not lining up with the dominant shape you’re looking for, you are forced to rely on the shapes of something other than their anatomy. This can be many things, their hair, their clothes, stuff that isn’t a part of their body, but contributes to the sihlouette anyway.

Look at this character up above. Her form isn’t particularly buff, in fact, she leans a bit more on the spindly side, without being super skinny. But notice how round her face is, how floofy that hair is, blocking out the bonyness of her shoulders and softening her sihlouette. Pay attention to the very controlled amount of sharp points or spikes that’s in her designs. There’s a few acute angles here and there ( her hair being chopped in very sharp shapes particularly ) but even those are deployed in a context where they are counter-balanced by other shapes ( as with how the hair swoops and curves to balance out its sharp edges at the bottom ).

^Above is a character who’s design is a lot more spindly than the first, however - here the artist has made her dress very poofy, almost bell like. Which doesn’t only serve to remind us how skinny the character is, by the fact that her thin legs leaves a lot of gap between herself and the edge of the dress. But the artist has also decided to give the character two huge circles of blush on her cheeks, which incorporates the circular shapes seamlessly, if very blatantly into the design. And of course, the eyes. This character has huge, expressive eyes that makes it easy for us to read and relate to her feelings. Eyes have a profound impact on a design, and in some cases you can push your design really far from its intended read, but still retain the “kind” and “friendly” look by enlarging the eyes, giving us that wide-eyed, innocent look.

Toothless actually portrays this particular trope extremely well. As the character switches the shape of its pupils depending on the particular mindspace its in. The large pupils and warm green eyes helps us emphasize with the character, and gives that ‘adorable’ look. The brows are moving and expressive. But as soon as Toothless snaps into feral mode, the pupils shrink into tiny slits, closing us off from any read of the character’s emotions. While also relaxing the eyebrows and setting them nearly static on his face. Like this, we can’t detect any human expression in the character. It becomes purely animalistic, and thusly, unpredictable. Whev, ok so that was a brief tangent on eyes - let it be known that eyes are EXTREMELY important to your design! There’s a number of other ways to incorporate circles into your design, but most of those are incredibly contextually dependent, and would be hard to pin down with any precision without seeing the particular design you’re working with, so hopefully this has set you on the right path.

Best of luck! - Mod Wackart ( ko-fi )
