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.

all the TME people who go on like "oh im on the nth level of genderfuckery, i got a 5d chess gender, non euclidian identity, my AGAB isnt even real anymore, i have my third hole open, im queer as fuck" and then wind up at "im an AFAB trans woman" are both rewlly funny and really insulting. like oh, being a trans woman is gender fuckery now to you? can it not just, yknow, be me? do you not see us as normal women?

I hate the trend of just describing books with what minorities the main characters represent and nothing else. not only does it feel weird + exploitative to me it's also such a shoddy ineffective marketing technique. "this is my book with queer polyam disabled vampires you should buy it" ok great but what is it like. about. what are the themes. why should I read it

So uh. I have that gold fabric/leather paint now. And some gloves sitting around that I never wore. And I got the itch to make things.
Uhm. Enjoy?

describing commission ideas is so embarrassing. yea this is my guy. and i want you to draw him. jesus just shoot me already
#i've only commissioned art as gifts and for game art orders so have not experienced this#but i believe possibly a worse thing#is trying to fucking trick friends into providing enough description and reference images#without giving away the game#i tease my costume designer homie for describing every character + outfit in loving 'sounds like you want to fuck them' detail in our fic#but that was the easiest art i've ever commissioned in my life!

I was talking about my type in men and my 65 year old coworker said 'oh you like you some little princess boys'
I'm never going to come back from that

one of my favourite things is seeing posts like this that are clearly a reference to some fandom or piece of media, but having no idea what it’s referencing, so i’m just reading it like. yeah that would be weird huh

I'm sick of internet negativity, so let's combat it: reblog this and saying something nice/pay a compliment to the prev in the tags.
#one of the most generous guys i’ve ever had the privilege of playing a ttrpg with.#knowledgeable and passionate about birds#great character voices and character choices.#has really cool ideas i want to hear more about!#and of course: got me into soulsov.
