Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

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.

I had a silly little idea and since it's @maironite's birthday I thought I might as well draw a little gift. Happy birthday!🎁

Have some Mairon and Arien being literal little flames in the Timeless Halls. Yes, I stole the iconic expression from your art for the Ainur Secret Santa haha - I had to.

Here's them as stickers too:

Hope you have a wonderful birthday!❤

made a little something for my good friend @edensrose. go send her some love♡

so this tadchick attempted to turn herself into a water lily (which, for quick context, are considered to be roses other languages), but didn't quite succeed - her little wings are gone, and she created a flower and a lily pad, but she'll have to try again for the full effect. for now, she's a cute flowery froggo♡

it's a Mewron!🖤✨

just quick drawing I made after a conversation on discord that culminated in us making memes about Mairon as Mew (long story, but yeah). don't let the heart-shaped tail deceive you - he's currently using Psychic, causing the ring verse to flash in front of the target's eyes.

it's been a while. . . ✩ˎˊ˗

I haven't had much time or motivation to practice, let alone create anything I'm comfortable sharing, but I'm trying to motivate myself to draw again. anyway -

here's a sketch of Lúmirë, a celestial Maia and OC created by my good friend @edensrose. if you're curious, you can find out more about our lovely little deer/dear here
