My Big Gouache Brushpack is here! I spent almost a year tinkering and honing, and the result is so much fun to use. Experience almost eighty brushes with loads of wet-media effects, textures and quick landscape hacks, two paper templates, and pointers on creating great digital art that feels like the real thing!
You can find it, along with my other brushsets, on Etsy and Gumroad. ❤️🔥For a week, all my brushes are 26% off! (Gumroad code: MMPBVTV)
cannot stress enough the importance of having a bucket in your house. a big plastic bucket. helps with housework. helps with morale. get yourself a bucket today
one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”
this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep
instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”
sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference
DO THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM AT WORK. MAKE ART THAT HURTS. ABANDON ALL GUILT AND SHAME. DONT LET THEM KILL YOUR SOUL. BECOME YOUR OWN PERSONAL GOD. GROW SPIKES. DONT LET THEM KILL YOUR SOUL
i wish there was an easier way to tell the difference between an "if it sucks hit da bricks" situation and a "sometimes being an adult means doing things that you dont wanna" situation
The best answer to this that I've seen is "You are free to do whatever you like. You must only live with the consequences."
"If it sucks, hit da bricks" is for when you realize that you actually definitely can live with the consequences of Not Doing The Thing.
"Sometimes being an adult means doing things that you don't wanna" is for when you've thought it over and it turns out you would strongly prefer NOT to live with the consequences of Not Doing The Thing.
All Works of Fiction Represent Constructed Realities and by Demanding a Lack of Plot Holes, You Are Improperly Importing the Rules of Objective Reality into a Subjective Creation that Must Be Judged Primarily on Its Aesthetic Merits

Dark Horse Digital is closing up shop and is ending support March 31st.
All purchases through DHD are on a "license the right to read" basis - we do not "own" the books. While they say we have until March 30 to download to our Bookshelf library, the ability to read on the website will only be available "at least through summer".
Well, that's awful.
If you want a way to preserve all your books, detailed instructions under the cut.
As a disclaimer, this may not be legal in all jurisdictions. Use your best judgment. Also, this method does not work for all titles, and has not been updated since 2017.
That said...
How to Download your DHD Library
Step 1: Install Tampermonkey extension via Chrome web store. (If other browser, check Step 1 here.)
Step 2: Copy (CTRL+C) all the code from the Dark Horse Downloader script by oxguy3, under "Code" tab.
Download a DRM-free copy of your Dark Horse digital comics.
Step 3: Click the Tampermonkey extension in your browser and choose "Create a new script."
Delete the default code and Paste (CTRL+V) the script. Then, click File - Save.
Step 4: Log into Dark Horse Digital and go to your Bookshelf. Make sure "Stack by Series" is disabled. You should see something like this image - press "Download" for the title you want to keep.
Step 5: Download will start automatically. When it is done, it should pop up in your Downloads folder as a CBZ file.
CBZ files are basically an archive of all the images from the title. You can use an app like YACReader or CDisplayEx to view like a book.
If you want a more visual explanation, this video on how to bulk download Kindle titles has a similar method.
(And FYI, Amazon is also removing access to download Kindle titles after February 26. Isn't that a fun coincidence. /s)
Description: A can of la croix is sitting on a desk, a cockatiel stands up from behind the can, showing its head, and say "Peekaboo!" the person holding the camera laughs and the bird hides behind the can again, then pops up and says "Peekaboo!" the person continues laughing and says "Peekaboo!" too as the bird continues ducking up and down - when the bird pops up near the end of the video it makes an ascending whistle (like a slide whistle) when rising up, then a descending whistle when it ducks down, and an ascending whistle again while the person laughs harder.
Being a weird little girl as a kid provides two options to you: becoming transgender or becoming a weird adult woman. Both of which are things the world needs more of
was reminded of that youtube channel that records footage of that bridge that scalps trucks today. one of the fascinating developments that's happened since i last heard about it is that, in one of their many attempts to stop the trucks from being can-opened, they installed a traffic light that detects when a vehicle that's over the allowed height is coming and turns red so the driver can stop and hopefully notice the signage all around that's screaming "YOUR VEHICLE IS OVERHEIGHT TURN AROUND" and avoid an accident. However as a result sometimes drivers see the light turning yellow and IMMEDIATELY start flooring it to avoid having to stop, ensuring that the roof of their truck just gets fucking annihilated instantly. Really beautiful stuff you should check it out
It DOES have a sign. It turns on when it detects something too tall for the bridge. It even flashes. And the traffic lights will go red to get people to stop when it detects an over height vehicle so they read the signs. (note this lovely example where the lights are red, because the truck thought it was better than the lights)
every time I see this post I've forgotten how clearly signposted the canopener bridge is, and every time it hits me like a truck (hitting the canopener bridge and getting the top of its trailer ripped asunder)
