I have a cow oc and I’m having a lot of trouble drawing there face any tips?

i reaalllllly recommend doing studies! don't be scared to trace some photos to get a feel for the shapes, or just go nuts and make em cartoony! i personally try and pick out species-specific traits to emphasize when i draw furries, like a cow's barrel shaped body and small mouth, or the canine lower teeth before fangs and rounded triangle ears on wolves.

i'm not very good at explaining my process, but i hope this helps!

#i personally use lots of rounded squares/rectangles #swooping lines and big circles #but the way you draw cows is in your hands! have fun with it #ask #anon #i havent made a tutorial in yeaaaaars so i apologize if this kinda sucks #id like to make a timelapse of my process soon since i #i'm not very good at putting what i mean into words #my art

when i said i wanted to understand whatever’s going on in ivan’s head, i didn’t mean like this 😭😭

#alnst ivan #alnst till #ivantill #alien stage #ooooh boy turns out ivan’s self esteem is pretty low in terms of love #makes total sense but it’s not what i expected from someone who looked so in control of what he wanted and was willing to pursue from till #he loves humbly which was my first intepretation of him before we even got round 3 #it’s changed since then with more (mis)information leaked by vivinos to misdirect our understanding of him #so to get this clear dialogue of his final thoughts is really… clarifying #and terribly sad in a way #ivan loves till so much and is entirely aware that he hasn’t been the most gentle of suitors #god i have many thoughts about this #ahhh ivan baby your feelings aren’t shallow at all

Nah I’m not over the fact that Leo had apparently spent years with his bedroom being hit with the worst of Splinter’s horrendously loud snoring and Leo just never mentions it once.

Like clearly his family have no idea of this when he offers his room as a prize! So he never complained about it at least.

This is why I think he’s both an insomniac and a Daddy’s Boy because it explains it so well.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #Donnie absolutely either soundproofed the room or changed back with Leo after night 1 lbr #I headcanon that Leo would do rounds in the night to check on everyone since he himself doesn’t really sleep much #so having the confirmation of his dad’s well-being via his snoring is so comforting to Leo oddly enough #you could also throw in a hard of hearing headcanon in there too tbh!!#either way it makes me wonder why he suddenly gave it up #imo I bet the noise WAS bothersome to him but he just rolled with it #again bc he’s a daddy’s boy and an insomniac lol

As a twitter/tumblr user since 2010-2011, I believe I have sufficient grounds to say that currently we as a community are living through the scariest, shittiest time yet. This post isn’t trying to fearmonger, no I’m not leaving tumblr until it literally keels over, but I suggest that we don’t put all our eggs in one basket.

If twitter/tumblr stay usable, great! In the worse scenario, you’d have kept posting on a new platform and stayed ahead of the curve.

This post shares my personal experience with three potential “new”* fandom places, and is aimed to help fellow content creators. I’m an artist fully depending on internet to survive, my reasoning may not apply to you if you’re a hobbyist. Do your own research, it’s always healthy. * Pillowfort and mastodon have been around for 5+ years, bluesky is ~2 years old.

Discovering new people to follow kinda sucks on all three platforms, twitter and tumblr are eons ahead, but, given the recent chaos and uncertainty, I’m willing to be patient, keep posting on those, and feel safer than I would’ve otherwise been. More baskets good, one basket bad.

All three have poor visual customization, don’t expect custom tumblr themes.

This list starts with the least popular, but most human and easy to join, and what I personally trust the most. All three allow nsfw if labeled properly.

✦ Pillowfort is a barebones tumblr. Intuitive, cozy, but currently very, very small. Be patient with its clunkiness or lack of some features, it’s made by an AO3-like team. I’d personally love if the fandom crowd managed to redirect its attention to it instead of the sus bluesky.

Joining: is free, invite-only, but the waitlist is nearly instant.

Lurk around on their official tumblr: @/pillowfort-social

✦ Mastodon, for me personally, is impossible to explain directly. I’ll use several comparisons.

- Discord but all servers can interact. You’re still on a server curated by some human(s) that might tell you what you can and can’t post, BUT, if you don’t like that server’s policy, you can move to a new one while keeping your followers. - Email, users A and B may be registered on different domains, still they can talk. It’s a weird comparison, but fediverse (please I’m not explaining THAT but it’s a good thing) in general looks like another email story: unlike big sites that come and go, it might stand the test of time. - Someone compared mastodon’s structure to xiv’s dc and servers, if you look at its domain names that way, it might be easier to understand.

Depending on user, mastodon may feel gatekeepy/snowflakey. I haven’t spent enough time on there to form a proper opinion yet, but a warning’s due.

An actually good and hopeful thing about mastodon AND tumblr: the two might start interacting in future. Ever lamented that your fav asian artists don’t use tumblr? If they use misskey, or any other place on the fediverse, it might be possible to follow them directly from tumblr in future, and vice versa.

Joining: is free, however some servers close for new members sometimes, and have human moderators reviewing your request.

✦ Bluesky is a twitter without Musk: today’s average internet user reads this, drops everything and already looks to register there. It’s still sus, but people flock to it like crazy. Most likely to become the next big fandom place in my eyes, even if I’m not happy about that.

I personally have no good feelings about bluesky. Same as twitter, which I hated even before the 2018 tumblr exodus, yet the crowd decided to make it The New Fandom Place, and, grudgingly, I had to give up and also join them in 2022. During the year I haven’t stopped despising twitter, yet, I can’t deny that it helped me survive. I estimate half of my patrons, and, hell, even tumblr audience, comes from twitter. So, if bluesky ends up being the next hot shit, I’ll have to keep up because internet pays for my living.

Joining: is free but hell, invite-only, the waitlist is a lie, your best chance to join is a direct invite.

This’s all I’ve got to say for now. If you have a correction or an addition, replies/reblogs are welcome!

Screenshots of the current interfaces under the cut, you may spy on my profiles o/

#i grabbed a name on cohost and inkblot too but those interfaces instantly turned me away #also i'm not covering the mobile apps since i'm a pc-only user #social media #pillowfort #mastodon #bluesky #text post #long post #this already started making rounds but i wanted to add about algorithms #all three seem to have no algorithm atm #only 100% about pillowfort tho

stringbean plushie, based on the character from The Owl House!

the tail has a little toy rattle in it so she makes rattle sounds like she does in the show :D

#the owl house #original plushie designs #plushie #plushblr #when I tell u this is the trickiest plushie I have ever designed. dear lord #stringbean went through over 10 rounds of revisions - i've been working on her since her debut in January and JUST now she's finally ready #wanted to go a little longer than she is in canon bc that way I could make her more poseable without having to put wires or armature in her #she also. has a little rattle in the tail which is SAUR cute to me. anyway I am proud of her! and preorders open today if u want your own :

You know what day it— V-Tamer?! Happy Odaiba Memorial Day! 🎉 And Happy 25th Anniversary V-Tamer! ❤️ [Odaiba Memorial Redraw 2022] [Redraw 2021] [Redraw 2020]

#Digimon #Odaiba Day #Odaiba Memorial Day #V-Tamer #Screenshot redraw #My art #If it wasn't V-Tamer's 25th anniversary this year I might've done Zero Two (since the movie's happening) or something else #But I like those nice round anniversary numbers so I figured I'd take advantage of it while I can #Which is also why I didn't do Savers this year #To be fair some seasons have overlapping anniversary years so I can't do nice round numbers for them all #At least not without skipping years lmao #So this will just have to do-- but it's fine besides we love and appreciate V-Tamer in this house #This bizarre story just continues #I'm gonna have to start making that calendar bigger so I can fit everyone in there 'cause it's getting cramped #It's funny how all these redraws despite my attempts look nothing like each other

sorry kirk and spock’s love for each other is written into the narrative. as if it’s my fault.

#since the companion video is making the rounds again #like yeah. sorry that by kirk's own definition of love he's in love with spock. sorry.#feeling like he's a part of you? check #more important than anything? well he loses his career and his ship just to bury the man. so. check #sorry that the enterprise and kirk are implied as being inherently linked. as if kirk's one true love is the ship.#and not only does he destroy that ship #but spock is 'at home nowhere except starfleet' and 'sees the enterprise as his whole world'#sorry if the vulcan who can't lie and follows rules to a t will lie and break rules for kirk. sorry.#as if any of this is my fault.#'he's trying to contact the vulcan. this species is capable of much affection. i wonder if they'll show it to us.'#sorry. as if i can do anything about that.#'you wouldn't know what to do with a genuine warm decent feeling.' 'really doctor?' 'i know. i'm worried about jim too.'#'i have been and always shall be yours.'#as if i wrote those myself. sorry.#feeling normal tonight.#kirk #spock #spirk #tos #sam's thots

wondering about Frank and insects but specifically about how it looks like the WH insects are highly stylized, so does Frank even know anything about real butteflies/insects?

& if he saw a real one, would he recognize it? are all of the species names he applies to the WH bugs real, or are they all made up like "Vibrant Eyespot" or "Fluttering Heartwing"?

and then there's the question - does the neighborhood have some of the more 'undesirable' bugs like moths, worms, roaches, spiders? does it have bugs outside of the generic groups of beetles and butterflies? like are there mantids? leafbugs? dragonflies? weevils? or are those too specific/complex/not-cute for the Playfellow Workshop to have included?

and then there's the question of what are the bugs? props? puppets? are they alive or do the neighbors just perceive them as such? Do they even exist outside of art, storybooks, and animated segments? I highly doubt they're alive like the neighbors are, since in the gif of Frank's head spinning, the framed butterflies' wings are moving. which is kind of horrifying if you think about it for more than a second.

just... the critters Frank loves so so so much being a complete fabrication... every piece of knowledge he prides himself on / delights in knowing being utterly Untrue... oof
