hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

both drawn to life books are free to read on archive.org?? and downloadable as pdf???? what!! YO HOLY SHIT

a coworker yesterday was asking me about these behind my chair, and gun to my head, if you asked me what was the single best drawing book of all time -- it'd be these. there's a reason i keep them in irl arm's length.

not to toot my horn but i get a lot of comments about "believable life"/body language in my drawings, and i owe that to this book. Walt Stanchfield -the author- was one of the main mentors to a ton of the rennaisance era disney animators (Glen Keane, Musker, Deja, etc). this guy understands both the kinectic sense of how bodies move and squish/stretch, and how people "act", and composition/silhouette, and is honestly just a thoroughly decent dude.

some screenshots!

I had literally ONE DND character before I met my (now) WIFE!!

So, I turned this into a card to celebrate our wedding day, featuring all of the characters we have created through the stories we've told together!

So far. ;)

Where you can donate to help Maui, Hawaii

this article has places listed that you can donate to, but i’ll also put direct links to some of these places in this post:

Maui United Way

Maui Strong Fund

Maui Food Bank

Maui Humane Society

my family is based in Oahu, but i consider all the islands my home even though i physically haven’t stepped foot on them before. seeing all the homes and history and memories being lost in this hurts.

if you are unable to donate, don’t feel guilty—doing things like spreading the word and making people aware of the situation helps as well. thank you for whatever you can do! mahalo

UPDATE: removed Maui Mutual Aid Fund for now because upon further research using the charity checking sites provided by this gov site, it doesn’t appear in results unlike the others listed. so i advise caution for now if you decide to donate there! they may still be legitimate, but i want to exercise caution.

just a reminder - do NOT boycott streaming services or not watch new things. the unions have not called for one for a reason. for one, it affects residual payments, which as minimal as those currently are, actors are still getting them during this time, and for two, studios will use lack of viewership as an excuse to cancel shows because you are showing them there is no demand. it deeply affects the industry the writers and actors stand to come back to once the strike is over

And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.

Winter cold for @ tcttonsley on twitter! [ID: A digital painted portrait of a lavender-skinned drow girl in the snow. She is smiling and looking at the viewer with amber orange eyes. Her hair is past shoulder length, white and curly. She has big white eyelashes and white eyebrows and a dark purple blush across her cheeks. She is wearing a light blue top and a dark cyan cloak over her shoulders. The background shows hints of snow covered trees. /END ID]

How to post NSFW here, but not really, but yeah!

As other platforms send refugees our way, I wanted to point out that there’s a pretty easy way to skirt the so-called “porn ban” on tumblr, especially for fanart purposes. Check it out:

Make your smutty lil art. Then make a second version with a sticker or a blur or a text banner, or simply do a clever crop to eliminate the unsuitable bits and bobs. Tip: if the art is very flesh toned, maybe drop a purple or green filter on it, so the AI that detects nudity overlooks it.

(On a desktop comp) Save the Smutty Lil Version as a Draft post on your Tumblr. In your drafts, click on the images so that it isolates, then right click and Open Image in a New Tab. From that tab, copy the URL. It’ll look something like “64.media.tumblr.com/letternumbersalad”

3. Make another separate post. Make your Modest Version the image, and then indicate that there’s a clickthrough to the Smutty Lil Version, and link in “64.media.tumblr.com/letternumbersalad”

4. Ta da! Now your viewers can choose to click into the smut. I’m not saying its gonna work every time forever, YMMV, but as someone who posts like... 5% smut, it’s always worked for me.
