As you get older, the cartoons you watch stick in your mind... and annoy your parents *evil chuckle*
On the rooftop of the Gotham City police station, ten-year-old Dick Grayson stood with his mentor, Batman, nervously fidgeting with the new Spongebob-themed rings he had just purchased.
Robin (Dick Grayson, 10): Stop moving your arm like that! Your fist is already too big!
Batman let out a groan, feeling exasperated. He had no choice but to indulge Dick's newfound obsession with the antics of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
Batman: This is ridiculous!
Robin (holding up his little kid fist): Come on, please! It’s so much fun, and we’re heroes! We can do this together. I promise it’ll be worth it... Just do it for me?
Batman (a tremor of dread in his voice): Why did I adopt a child? Fine. Let's get this over with.
With a resigned sigh, Batman raised his fist to meet Robin's. Robin smiled giggling eagerly.
Robin (whispering): Psst... you have to say the words, Batman!
Realizing that Commissioner Gordon was just a few feet away, Batman's stomach churned at the thought of what he was about to do.
Batman: I’m going to regret this…
He took a deep breath and finally said:
Batman: MERMAID MAN AND BARNACLE BOY, UNITE!
Robin: YAY! LET’S GO! WOOO!
Eagerly, Robin dashed off, energy radiating from him as he whooped with delight. Commissioner Gordon chuckled quietly, covering his mouth to stifle his laughter.
Batman: I seriously regret letting him watch cartoons all day.
Gordon: You don't want him to be bored. That was adorable! Who would've thought you were raising a Spongebob fan?
Batman (embarrassed): I just needed a break that day, and he wanted to watch TV. This stays between us on this rooftop.
Gordon: Your secret is safe with me. But you should probably keep an eye on him.
Batman: Yep. Robin, stop running off by yourself!
Robin: Come on, Mermaid Man!
Batman: You are not calling me that!
As he chased after his giggling protege, Commissioner Gordon checked his watch.
Gordon: I think it’s time to call it a night.
Many year later...
At twenty-four, Dick tossed ripped-up paper confetti in the air after Bruce lost a contest, reveling in his father's defeat.
Dick: Yay! Way to lose, Bruce!
Cass (clapping and smiling): Aww, he’s so supportive!
Bruce (pinching the bridge of his nose): No, no, he’s not. Damn Canadian cartoons.
Jason: What makes him so special?!
Bruce (looking up from his phone): Oh no.
Dick (grinning): I eat cereal, Jason.
Bruce (annoyed): This dork I adopted tortures me with references from Canadian cartoons! I should’ve just had you watch C-Span instead. I hate that show more than I hate Spongebob!
Jason: What show is this? I swear, if it bothers you, I want to see it again.
Bruce: Oh God...
Spongebob motivation
Dick: Say it!
Wally: I’m ugly.
Dick: Ugly and what?
Wally: White?
Dick: No! Proud! Say it!
Wally: I’m ugly and I’m proud!
Dick: Louder!
Wally (raised voice): I’m ugly and I’m proud! I am ugly, and I’m proud! I am ugly and I’m proud!
From across the hall, Bruce listened to the commotion while speaking with Barry, letting out a pained sigh and covering his face.
Barry: Is that what they call it?
Bruce: Don’t... just don’t.
The Pancake Incident
Batman and Nightwing stood over a massive pancake left in the street by a particularly eccentric Gothamite—an impressive feat, even by Gotham standards. Nightwing looked at Batman, who averted his gaze, already bracing for the inevitable.
Nightwing (grinning, hands thrown up): IT’S A BOY!
Batman: Goddammit, I told you I don’t get these references!
Nightwing (smirking, hand on hip): Oh, come on! You know this reference; you’re just pretending.
Batman (covering his face): I don’t want to know it.
New Generations
Damian (as Robin): We saved the day! I have something I want to try.
With a small smile, Damian raised his fist.
Damian: Pound it?
Nightwing smiled and nodded, fist-bumping his younger brother.
Nightwing and Damian: Pound it!
From the side, Batman raised an eyebrow.
Batman: What was that? Is that a reference to something?
Damian: This cheesy show I introduced him to. It’s what the heroes do after saving the day.
Batman: You never gave me a fist bump.
Damian: You're a sqaure.
Nightwing laughed making Batman leave angrily.

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.

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.

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

Everyday I wake up and tell myself that today is going to be the day I finally post my collection of favorite @loopy-lupe Sonic covers because they are all SO GOOD and such a highlight of IDW Sonic for me but for now this fan compilation I found randomly on Tumblr will have to suffice--
*inaudible offscreen mumbling* I'm sorry what?
*more mumbling* This is from WHOSE Tumblr?
*Pause*
In light of recent events I'm just going to restate that I love these covers and adore this art style and while I still don't have the spoons for a full compilation this one from Issue 40 is bar none my favorite Sonic comic cover. Ever. Period.
Now if you'll excuse me I have a blog to follow...
Hello hello! Been a while since I've posted my art on tumblr, (though I HAVE still been lurking the whole time) so I figure I'll start by posting some of the sonic covers I like the most from the main ongoing comic series! I've been pushing my character proportions to feel more like the rubbery sa1 proportions for the past year and a half, so lately I've been more satisfied with how I'm drawing everyone.
#Sonic#IDW Sonic#THE REFERENCES#SO MANY REFERENCES#The Starline “*you're” sends me EVERY FUCKING TIME#Perfect characterization#On everyone and everything#The facial expressions give me LIFE#No notes#10/10#Belongs in a museum
