AO3 IS IN TROUBLE IF CALIFORNIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW PASSES
An upcoming Age verification bill centered in California will be voted on Monday-- And as always,instead of actually protecting kids, it will lead to more online censorship and privacy risks, as it will force websites hosting to verify their users age by sending their ID, your browser history would be linked to it. if you live California, call your reps and tell them to oppose the bill AB3080 as it highly unconstitutional.
They also deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as mentions of weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as NSFW content.
Since AO3 headquarters reside in California, much like Reddit, Twitter,Discord and Youtube (and others) who knows how bad the effects would be. Instead of just effecting Californians (even then its concerning.) the effects would be US or even worldwide. VPNs wont help.

I’ve found that drawing the head starts to make a lot more sense once you start thinking about cheekbones and cheeks, and how the fit into the head structure.
You might be aware of the Mysterious Indent that Looks Good Next to the Outer Part of the Eye, or the Mystery Indent for short.
Drawing a Mystery Indent may serve you fine if you only draw the head from flat angles, but it falls apart when you get adventurous.
Why isn’t this making sense anymore?
Drawing a ‘Mystery Indent’ is an attempt to imply cheekbones without knowing how they actually incorporate into the skull, and this is why it looks so unconvincing when you use it to draw the head in anything other than ¾ view.
The cheekbones wrap around the head and eye sockets from above the bridge of the nose. The concave you draw if you draw the ‘Mystery Indent’ is a misunderstanding. There is no concave. You should instead be thinking of this as where the eye socket/brow overlaps the (convex!) cheekbone.
Compare the cheekbones on both sides for placement. They should match up and correspond with each other.
(Knowing cheekbone structure helps when drawing gaunt characters, because their cheekbones may stick out. Remember to compare the cheekbone placement on both sides!)
* This is part of a much larger tutorial I’m working on about head, face, and facial feature structure. Hopefully more to come eventually?
Hey there! Just wanted to drop by and say how much I love your work- "Rewinding Our Fate" is on my mind when it's not song or my personal AU(s) related. I also wanted to ask you for any tips on how you draw the Trolls. Got any for beginners?
Uhh sure!! Here's typically how i go about troll anatomy studies. Trolls are made up of really simple shape language like circles and triangles!
Pop Trolls are usually this bean/egg body type but there are exceptions of course, like John Dory who is more square, or larger-built trolls like Bruce, Biggie, or King Peppy.
Techno Trolls and most Rock Trolls have longer legs and shorter torsos.
Barb is kind of an oddball but she has the largest troll eyes we've seen so far but Rock Trolls do tend to have varying eye sizes. They do tend to be bigger for a lot of fem-presenting trolls. Val is kind of a oddball too bc she has more of a Pop Troll appearance in both body type, ear shape and color saturation.
(Maybe she's more Punk Rock than she is Hard Rock? TWT sort of opened up the possibilities for trolls of more than one genre so shrug)
❤️Floyd: “Now John Dory, Just because you don’t like how King Peppy is treating Branch (I don’t like it either) doesn’t mean you can just kidnap him.”
💚John Dory: “…”
💙Branch: “Hi Floyd💖”
💚John Dory: “…”
John Dory running off with Branch,
💙Branch: “Bye Floyd💖”
❤️Floyd: “JOHNNY NO!!!”
Inspired by a previous post @artofrhues helluva boss comic
It’s of @djmurphy Hypno Pop Branch AU,
It shows Floyd trying(but failed) to stop John Dory from kidnapping Branch because he & their brothers hate how King Peppy practically turned him into a Happyfied Zombie! (Floyd also hates this)
For the people that waited for this, Im srry if its not as good or lived up to ur expectations, when i animate again i'll make sure to fully color and line it next time
I've been watching a lot of OK K.O. during my commute to work, and so far I'm enjoying this cartoon quite a bit. This time I tried to commit less atrocities on the topology. Check out the wireframe if you wanna get spooped by his eyes :'D
