I think your art is pretty cool ! Do you have any tips for beginners? :D

I'm not sure how useful this advice will be, but I guess my main tip for beginners (I'm assuming you're talking about 3D modelling based on my recent posts) would be to not feel intimidated by 3D as a medium just because you're unfamiliar with it!

I think a lot of people, especially 2D artists, look at a 3D model and have their first thought be "I couldn't do that, 3D is super complicated" and never even attempt it based on an assumption that, imo, isn't really true.

I strongly encourage anyone who hasn't tried it but is curious to just download blender and make a very simple extrusion model (look up extrusion modelling tutorials on youtube, there's millions of them) of something they like.

Here's one of the very first 3D models I made that wasn't something like a crate or a chair, using extrusion starting with a cube:

You could make something like this in under an hour with 0 prior 3D experience, and it's honestly not even a bad basis for a more complex model.

#this is advice for ABSOLUTE beginners #obviously if you have some basic experience with 3D its probably not a ton of help #but in both my experience and what ive gathered from other people #it seems like the biggest hurdle is believing youre even capable of using 3d software #and its honestly extremely accessible nowadays #ask #not art #w00fyw00fs #3d advice

An alternative to google docs

To paraphrase a recent post: google docs is pants as a writing tool.

I'm suggesting MS Word as an alternative. Yeah, I know, it's not perfect, but it is (IMO), better than google docs.

But I'm not just suggesting Word when I suggest Word. I'm suggesting a free Microsoft account, which gives you Word and OneDrive.

It only takes a minute or two and a free account gets you:

Word in the browser

A OneDrive with 5gb of storage - now, 5gb might not be much holistically but in terms of text based documents, it's decent. My entire 'Fic' folder is 2.11gb. That's everything I've ever written and all their drafts, wips and their multiple drafts, betaed fics, ideas, writing refs and guidance, archived drafts/fics, AND the 500+ fics I've downloaded as epubs from AO3).

Excel, Outlook, Teams, OneNote - basically the whole Microsoft365 suite - in the browser

I use Word exclusively, both for fic and for work (where I write extensively), and the online version does everything I need. It autosaves, has version control/reversion, and sharing (if that's what you're into), and you can seamlessly copy and paste from Word into AO3's rich text editor - no formatting adjustments required.

Anyway, it's something to think about. If you want to give it a try, the simplest way is to create a new OneDrive account, which will also give you everything else.

Go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/onedrive/online-cloud-storage (clickable link)

Click 'Create a free account'.

Click 'get a new email address' and follow the prompts (recommended but not required) or use an existing email address. If you create a new email address, don't actually use it for email. It's just the umbrella the account sits under.

That's it; you're done.

#fanfic #writing #google docs #if you need more than 5gb a basic account is 1.99 USD a month for 100gb of storage in the US -other countries vary (including mine)#yeah software as a service is BS but in this case what you're really paying for is the storage #since you can use Word et al in the browser whether you pay or not #you could also set up multiple free accounts and use one as your backup and one as your active - s'why I rec 'get a new email'#I am not a paid MS shill - but when I find something that works for me/makes me happy I'm compelled to share #I do hate google - declaration of bias - but outside of that I genuinely believe Word is better

I have this inconcrete (and perhaps poorly based) vision of early music synthesizers, where someone could grab a handful of basic waveforms and route them through different processors/functions to slowly transform them into music.

And, more specifically, I envision doing that, but with images.

#i've used software that *could* accomplish that before #but the poor ui/ux basically betrays the whole concept #i could also *make* software that does that #but that's another battle altogether #text

little experiment of mine to see what a song would sound like if both the sped up AND slowed down versions were played at the same time. I only played around with the pitches and not the tempos. I recommend using a headset for this, left side is pitched down while right side is pitched up

Obviously, I don't own the rights to this song

#fall out boy #folie a deux #pls note that I have a very basic grasp at audio software like Audacity and I only learned that just to do this 🫠#Or anything related to music for that matter #this is just for fun #It honestly rocks #patrick stump #pete wentz #joe trohman #andy hurley

don't know enough about US graphic design in the early 1990s to know why/if this was a noted trend with a direct influence tying them together, but I do like this recurring look of simple yet eye-catching big sans-serif block white text people were going for in some commercials/promos. there's something more magazine spread about it than television.

#I'm just wondering if this was like. a very accessible/popular choice in some commonly used software at the time #or if it's vaguely taking note from more basic physical cards in a sort of retro way?#t/mbg #oh hey look they're here too #adam bernstein uses this graphical approach again in the video for baby got back so it's definitely him doing the flood promo

something something organelles something chloroplasts…. sulfates…

*nodding along* yes talk science to me damn

It was so hard to write that chapter of Even Though You're Kryptonian, and try to figure out what the audience would need to know (assuming that most of the audience didn't have biology fresh on their minds). I ended up summing it to "okay, the audience needs to know that blood is important, and that the trait is maternally passed" and also "the audience needs to know this comes down to quantum information, which can't be cloned". When Nia says "skip the science", that is because I took out full paragraph explanations that were originally written there when I went back to editing 🤣 Buuuut this is tumblr, so I'll summarize here!

Quantum cloning is actually impossible (and would break the universe if it were possible), which Lena notes. On the TV show, they say they need Kara's DNA, and then get really sad when it's destroyed... but Lena is a scientist, replicating DNA is super easy, she definitely would've done that before loading the device!! So in my fic, we're going with quantum signatures, because the sadness around needing to reset the device to fight the phantoms makes sense.

The stable marriage problem (also called the "stable matching problem") is an actual thing in algorithms, with applications in economics. It's not specific to marriage - you can use similar algorithms to optimize which schools students attend, for instance. And it's always solvable, given certain conditions, with one of those conditions being that the two groups are distinct (like colleges are group 1, students are group 2 - a college can't attend a college & a student can't attend a student). If you don't have distinct groups, it turns into the stable roommate problem, which is not guaranteed to be solvable.

So basically my headcanon is that Krypton would look at algorithms and say "We can't have gay marriage, that's not algorithmically efficient!" because Krypton is the type of screwed up society that thinks everything should be done by algorithm.

Chloroplasts are organelles in plants. (Organelles are just organs for cells - instead of hearts and livers and kidneys, cells have things like mitochondria and nuclei and endoplasmic reticula.) Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell? Well, so are chloroplasts (in plants!).

Lena at some point on the TV show tells the group that Reign's cells are more like plant cells, which Kara confirms as how kryptonians convert sunlight to energy (which is what a chloroplast does). But I say they're not quite chloroplasts because they have to use a different dye - kryptonians aren't green. Lutein is a yellow dye in plants (think fall leaves) that could probably be masked by the natural melanin in human skin. So that's what I made as the thing that causes kryptonians to give off a quantum signature - the conversion of sunlight to power.

Organelles really are passed from the mother (egg) to the child. Sperm doesn't have room for much besides DNA. (Though for reasons not yet explained, kryptonian biology is going to work a little differently than Lena expects.)

As for sulfates, that's just a category of salt, and they're plentiful in the ocean. I needed something that killed libido... unfortunately, most of the real stuff that would kill libido are things like alcohol or opioids, and I didn't want kryptonian kids running around stoned all the time. But salt can contribute to high blood pressure, which can lower libido - sooooo let's just pretend that kryptonians are particularly likely to experience this side effect, while not being killed by blood pressure. Their biology is different anyway!

#“endoplasmic reticulum” is a fun thing to say #i've done some algorithmic work as a software engineer before and my spouse's job is basically graph theory #I've also worked in a lab and done a PCR and know that replicating DNA is super easy first hand #mitochondria+chloroplasts also have their own DNA separate from the nucleus DNA for hilarious reasons #which allows us to trace maternity really easily because that DNA changes much more slowly than the human/nucleus DNA #THIS IS PROBABLY WAY MORE THAN YOU WANTED TO KNOW I AM SO SORRY #in this essay I will-#asks #katiemcgrathisdaddyaf #headcanon

What's your favorite thing to draw in art? Like poses, body parts, clothing, etc?

obvious and cliché first answer out of the way: love to draw a nose, for obvious and horny reasons. love rendering blush/red noses/etc (equally obvious reasons, lmfao). designing outfits. fluffy hair (not necessarily long hair, but more long = more fluff so i'm biased). LINEART !! i used to hate lineart but i changed to a different brush last year and ever since then lineart and me have been best friends. uhhhhhh stupid meme redraws. probably half a dozen other things i can't think of at this time! man i love art.

#thank you this was such a great question!!! love to ramble about art!!#i always feel a little awkward talking about my favourite things though bc i don't feel particularly Good at any of them #after changing PCs & tablets & drawing software i basically had to relearn how to do digital art from scratch the last couple years #my painting/rendering skills are probably at like 60% of the capacity they were at in 2020 on a good day. its been a Whole Process lol #tl;dr-ing in the tags again but!!! thank yoouuu for asking and for reading ;A;#not snz #sickos.txt #*eta to fix typos what the fuck is a “changeded”

i find it really funny how computers are a bunch of rocks that some people learned how to communicate with, they’re using some weird unknown language that you need to learn for years, and a bunch of symbols that they write on the stones. and then they combine these stones with other stones so normies could see cats from the past. like it’s literally a magic system we just call it “software engineering”. someone need to make a book or a dnd campaign where the magic system is just computers.
