Just a little pompom red panda that I made. :)
why are bats stigmatized as being creepy?
I mean
look at these things
theyâre like tiny
fluffy
dragons
but instead of breathing fire they squeak and cuddleÂ
in caves
and leaves
and they have funny ears and noses
I mean really
bats are amazing
This post is so fucking important to me

42 character development questions!

Trying to draw buildings
yo hereâs a useful tip from your fellow art ho cynellis⌠use google sketchup to create a model of the room/building/town youâre trying to draw⌠then take a screenshot & use it as a reference! Itâs simple & fun!
Sketchup is incredibly helpful. I canât recommend it enough.
Thereâs a 3D model warehouse where you can download all kinds of stuff so you donât have to build everything from scratch.
reblog to save a life
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 couldnât even dream of, but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of using it.
Hereâs the missing part of this tutorial:
How do you populate your backgrounds?
Well, hereâs 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 âplopsâ the character in front of their finished product with no regard of the personâs relation to their environment.
How do you fix this?
Well, hereâs the simplest solution:
This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and comic artists alike when theyâre quickly planning compositions. Itâs 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 isnât 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 â 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!
Iâm 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 itâs reasonably easy to learn. If youâre 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 âCATâ 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!
reblogging to save a life
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at this amazing addition! This is fantastic!
Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didnât know what heâd done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.
Why canât we have a movie about him?
He was often called âSempoâ, an alternative reading of the characters of his first name, as that was easier for Westerners to pronounce.
His wife, Yukiko, was also a part of this; she is often credited with suggesting the plan. The Sugihara family was held in a Soviet POW camp for 18 months until the end of the war; within a year of returning home, Sugihara was asked to resign - officially due to downsizing, but most likely because the government disagreed with his actions.
He didnât simply grant visas - he granted visas against direct orders, after attempting three times to receive permission from the Japanese Foreign Ministry and being turned down each time. He did not âmisreadâ orders; he was in direct violation of them, with the encouragement and support of his wife.
He was honoured as Righteous Among the Nations in 1985, a year before he died in Kamakura; he and his descendants have also been granted permanent Israeli citizenship. He was also posthumously awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania (1993); Commanderâs Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996); and the Commanderâs Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2007). Though not canonized, some Eastern Orthodox Christians recognize him as a saint.
Sugihara was born in Gifu on the first day of 1900, January 1. He achieved top marks in his schooling; his father wanted him to become a physician, but Sugihara wished to pursue learning English. He deliberately failed the exam by writing only his name and then entered Waseda, where he majored in English. He joined the Foreign Ministry after graduation and worked in the Manchurian Foreign Office in Harbin (where he learned Russian and German; he also converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church during this time). He resigned his post in protest over how the Japanese government treated the local Chinese citizens. He eventually married Yukiko Kikuchi, who would suggest and encourage his acts in Lithuania; they had four sons together. Chiune Sugihara passed away July 31, 1986, at the age of 86. Until her own passing in 2008, Yukiko continued as an ambassador of his legacy.
It is estimated that the Sugiharas saved between 6,000-10,000 Lithuanian and Polish Jewish people.
Itâs a tragedy that the Sugiharas arenât household names. They are among the greatest heroes of WWII. Is it because they were from an Axis Power? Is it because they arenât European? I donât know. But Iâve decided to always reblog them when they come across my dash. If I had the money, IÂ would finance a movie about them.
He told an interviewer:
You want to know about my motivation, donât you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.
People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many peopleâs livesâŚ.The spirit of humanity, philanthropyâŚneighborly friendshipâŚwith this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situationâand because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.
He died in nearly complete obscurity in Japan. His neighbors were shocked when people from all over, including Israeli diplomatic personnel, showed up at quiet little Mr. Sugiharaâs funeral.
I will forever reblog this, I wish more people would know about them!
I liked this before when it had way less information. Thank you, history-sharers.
Tucked away in a corner in L.A.âs Little Tokyo is a life-sized statue of Chiune, seated on a bench and smiling gently as he holds out a visa.Â
The stone next to him bears a quote from the Talmud;Â âHe who saves one life, saves the entire world.â Â
I had no idea it existed until a few weeks ago, but itâs since become one of my favorite pieces of public art.Â
Chiune Sugihara. Â Original antifa.

REBLOG THE CHRISTMAS OTTER IN 10 SECONDS FOR BOUNTIFUL GIFTS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS
I would have reblogged this without the hope of bountiful gifts and a merry christmas
Hot dangâŚ
An incredible orchestrated medley of Undertale songs that resurrected this blog from the dead. Exquisite arrangement with beautiful playing. Toby Fox himself tweeted about it on Twitter. Â
0:04 - Determination (speech intro) 1:07 - Spear of Justice 2:47 - sans. 3:32 - Papyrus (Bonetrousle) 4:32 - BergentrĂźckung / Asgore 5:45 - Toriel (Heartache) 6:39 - Asgore (reprise)
I have no words to say except that I love pretty much everything about this, and I highly recommend you give this a try if you like good things. Itâs a little on the longer side. It is well worth the length.
Also the second half of the song is quite possibly my favorite Undertale performance of all time. Itâs at least top five.
This is everything I could have ever wanted for Christmas. ;u;
