VERY late entry for Ulysses Week's prompt "the divide". Lyrics are from Autopsy Garland by the Mountain Goats. I have a project for fnv planned involving the whole song, but I couldn't get this concept for an alternate Ulysses thing for these lyrics out of my head. I love Ulysses and the divide very much. >24 hours of drawing on this one.

rwby art dump because drawing is a plague for me right now

[zontarzon]

Sarkotar is the vile god of plague and decay. He can control other organisms, like a parasitic fungus.

He is also incredibly obnoxious and prideful.

Check him out on ArtFight! This will be my first time participating. https://artfight.net/~ZontarZon

"Seasonal" Sleepwear

In honor of the other day when the biting cold finally hit, and the immediate day after I switched back to shorts. I... Run warm.

I'm also not a daytime loungewear person so I own like... Two pairs of sweats.

Old sketch #3

[copper-skulls]

My part of an art trade with the wonderful @countthelions , of Grillby from his Biker and Barber au (which you should read by the way, it has a very cozy place in my heart it is very good and I might've reread it several times while in the process of making this hfajdsh) 💛 Thanks for letting me draw your guy, fren!!!!

this was my first time drawing a bike* so please be kind to me. but I DID draw the entire bike despite it being hidden behind grillby for the most part hfakshj

*i did draw some preliminary sketches before this ofc but small sketchbook doodles don't prepare you for Lining something like that lmao

Doom Schneider and his crazy antics playing drums, Live aus Berlin style

I'm not joking, this man is the sole reason why I want to learn to play drums now

I'm doing an art mentoring with a very skilled friend of mine who I pity endlessly for having to put up with my crazy antics and inspirations when it comes to drawing. After a whole 2 and a half hours class on lights and shadows, she asked me if I was frying already and I HAD to draw Schneider frying on his drums.

'Cause the thing I look forward the most whenever watching a Rammstein live video is Schneider frying on his drums (that in my country means something like "playing like crazy and forgetting the whole world exists"). I freakin' adore it and now I want to learn to play Sehnsucht to fry as well <3

Now on a more technical aspect, this is the very first time I studied someone's face and poses a LOT before drawing without ANY reference regarding face and pose.

(Breakdown of my study process to get to the final result under the cut in case anyone wants to learn to do it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me ;D)

I creeply took a dozen pics of his face and mapped all the shapes - mainly his nose, mouth, face shape, eye sockets and eye shapes and jaw - to find out what makes Schneider look like Schneider. My conclusion was, all features are important, yes, but when it comes to simplification, his nose and his mouth are key.

Regarding his pose, I took at least a dozen prints of him playing Sehnsucht live aus Berlin and traced all of them to understand his mannerisms. First sketch I made didn't look like him 'cause Schneider doesn't really hunch while playing - he has a very good posture actually. It also helped getting his body shape right.

I mean, we artists are really creepy when it comes to studying another person, it's a fine line between being an artist and a psycho, don't feel bad about it

Then I sketched the pose and, when drawing the face, I mapped all the shapes I had already studied to figure out where it would all go and the sizes regarding my drawing. Then the rest was the linework, coloring and learning to use dynamic light/shadows as well as ambient and rim light.

Bam! Doom Schneider playing live aus Berlin.

The Future of Solar Permitting, Trends and Innovations

As the solar industry continues to grow, the permitting process will evolve to meet the demands of increased deployment. Solar licensing, the process of obtaining the necessary permits to install solar energy systems, is critical to safety, compliance, and efficiency. However, this was often considered an inconvenient and time-consuming obstacle. Innovations and trends in solar permitting are now streamlining this process, making it easier and more efficient for homeowners, businesses, and municipal projects.

Digital Shift in Solar Permitting

One of the most important trends in solar permitting is the shift to digital platforms. Traditional permitting often involves paper applications, in-person deliveries, and long approval times. Digital permit platforms are revolutionizing this by allowing applicants to submit, track, and manage permits online. This not only speeds up the process, but also reduces errors and improves communication between stakeholders.

Standardization and simplification of solar permit requirements

Another important trend is the standardization and simplification of permit requirements. Different jurisdictions often have different requirements, leading to confusion and delays. The effort is to create standard guidelines that can be universally adopted, simplifying the process for installers and reducing the learning curve for new markets.

Key updates:

Uniform permit applications for solar installations: development of a single standard application form that can be used across multiple jurisdictions.

Simplified rules for solar permits: We are simplifying rules to focus on important safety and compliance checks, eliminating unnecessary red tape.

Solar Permit Reform Practices

Governments and regulatory bodies are increasingly recognizing the need for permit reform to support the growth of solar energy. Legislative work is underway to remove common barriers and create a more enabling environment for solar deployment.

Key Updates:

Expedited Solar Permitting Processes: Expedited permitting for small-scale residential and established technologies.

Allow fee reductions for solar projects: Allow fee reductions or waivers for solar projects to reduce financial barriers to entry.

Integration with Solar Design Tools

 Integrating permitting processes with solar design tools is another innovative trend. Solar design software today often includes features that help create permit-ready documents and ensure that all necessary information is included from the start.

Key innovations:

Design-based integration in solar installations: solar planning tools that automatically generate permit-ready documents, reducing the need to prepare a separate application.

Real-Time Solar Permit Compliance Check: Software that checks plans against local permit requirements in real-time and notifies you of potential issues before submission.

Key Updates:

Predictive Analytics for Solar Enabled: Using historical data to predict license times and identify bottlenecks.

Solar Permitting Performance Metrics: Track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of the permitting process.

Collaboration and sharing of best practices in solar permitting

Collaboration among various stakeholders, including government agencies, industry associations, and solar companies, promotes the sharing of best practices and innovative solutions. This collaborative approach helps identify common challenges and develop common strategies to address them.

Key News:

Industry Working Groups to Enable Solar Energy: Formation of groups that bring together different stakeholders to discuss and implement best practices.

Knowledge-sharing platforms for solar energy permits: platforms will be created where municipalities can share their successes and challenges in issuing solar energy permits.

The future of solar permits is bright, and many trends and innovations are poised to make the process more efficient, standardized, and easy to use. As digital transformation, standardization, policy reform, and technology integration progress, the barriers to solar adoption will decrease. This development not only benefits installers and customers, but also supports the wider goal of moving towards more sustainable and renewable energy.

By continuing these trends and advocating for continued innovation, solar industry stakeholders can help shape the promising landscape that facilitates the rapid and widespread adoption of solar energy.

How draw wings.

first thing, references all day long. I like to use physical books that I pick up from thrift stores like this massive book on birds of prey-

it's got giant spreads that are really easy to look closely at. I really prefer physical books and images over digital references unless I need something really specific cause that way I've already got the good poses bookmarked and I don't have to go searching

If you don't have access to any good books, I definitely recommend getting reference images from stock image sites like pexel.

Step 2 is simplification. Don't try to draw exactly what you see; instead look at the major shapes in the wing. In the image above I can separate the major parts of the wings into these shapes: (doing all this with a trackpad so bear with me)

which can be further simplified to something like this:

don't be afraid to play with shapes either to make them look nicer and less stiff. definitely look into wing anatomy as well, I'm not an expert on that and there are definitely people out there who can explain better than me lol
