#havent got a tablet unfortunately

[time-slink]

hey slinky!! saw ur reblog lol, ty for the kind words :] As for the layer merging thing i had to scour the hotkeys (H) for it lol

I definitely still dont recommend it though idk how it works and it likes to fuck up a lot ahdjjfkf I use mac but its cntl shift E for me! Heavypaint enjoyers rise up

HI FUDGE THANK YOU ahh unfortunately i'm an app user :pensive: i do use webbypaint sometimes aswell but i dont think it shares like, any hotkeys— looks like theres not even an option in the menu. oh well lol! part of the charm of hp is the scuffed-ness anyways X)

[shittyastroboydrawings]

according to one small part in the ova lol

[mizuharus]

erm i havent been active here so small aj art dump (k angel masterpiece could not be approved unfortunately) (jinsh is my aj user)

i dont have much time to draw nowadays unfortunately :') i got a new ipad + apple pencil when i started uni but i can't get used to drawing with it idk why... my tiny $40 drawing tablet feels so much better to use somehow (i think its the texture honestly)

[dunmertwink]

idk what else to ask about your oc but tell me something abt him! Dealer's choice? What's his favourite colour? What's his favourite food? Does he have siblings or parents or a love interest??? Tell me everything!

Ahhhh! ILY! So! Taa’va’s origins are a bit of a mystery (to be revealed in my comic!). He was found as a newborn beyond the caves that lead to his hometown by a guard (who unofficially becomes his adoptive dad; i havent drawn or found a good name for this character even though hes like super important to the story... lol). His birthmother was unfortunately deceased when they were found.

He is officially adopted by Sooyeon, another major character who i posted about before (below - i found a pic of her in her natural (v. light on makeup anyway) state since she has some Outfits™️ being an ex fashion designer and all).

She is a doting mom💕 (also the townguard/dad has such a huge crush on her its embarrassing)

Heres a goofy ass thumbnail (wip) of a photo of Sooyeon and Taa’va on his first birthday:

Anyway! I believe i mentioned in another ask that Taa’va is intersex, which is super important to Kwendi culture (ill talk more about this later in a culture post on my webcomic blog; its also biologically different from how it appears in humans but i won't go into the science of it here). He chose to use he/him pronouns when he was little.

Hes autistic and stims a lot. His most frequent stims are flailing, shaking his head, and biting the skin around his fingernails (which is my stim actually). Lets see, his fave color is red and his fave food is sugar cookies, and he likes to tinker - hes become the town handyman and has built the bot Pyn (pictured in another post; and while bot-building is a pretty common hobby, Pyn is unique in that he can display emotions and familiarity with certain people. This manifests as him following Taa’va everywhere and trying to ‘protect’ him. Pyn doesnt have speech capabilities so he communicates with beeps (like R2-D2 where the characters understand him, but readers dont).

Taa’va is super good at a card game called knocks (an in-world gambling game that is played in the local bar/ tavern) and went on a five-year winning streak. His constant wins pissed a LOT of people off and got him into some trouble (esp. When an overconfident biker gang leader bets his bike and loses it - you can imagine how this goes). His famous, or, infamous saying is: “Don't bet anything you're not willing to lose.” This winning streak was broken by a huge stroke of luck for a newcomer named Khazir (ill stop here so i dont spoil anything; hes Taa’va’s LI in the comic💕). The crowd surrounding them starts cheering and singing Khazirs name. Taa’va is super impressed. I love Khazir too! Im trying to get a pic of him in this ask but its not really working so ill have to make another post!

Ill end this here! This took me forever to write on my tablet but all my comic stuff is here so 🤷. Thanks again for the ask! 🤩🤩🤩

[pikawarrior]

Welp welcome back to my random rambles im just gonna talk bout alot of random stuff mainly my stories so here for go lets hope this is understandable

Story/maybe comic stuff

Turning of the orange | The Strawberry Patch - Old soon to be remade/written stop motion strawberry shortcake zombie movie me and my dad were making when i was in elementary schoolish. We unfortunately didnt make it that far since he had to leave often and for long times cuz work, but recently i found my old tablet with all the pics and my notes so rework time baby. Im about to use all my years of angst/horror writing to fuck these bitches up even more

The Butterfly Effect and It's Consequences | The Phoenix Effect -

The Butterfly Effect is my main rottmnt fanfic series. About my little rottmnt oc's (Ame) life and how the gang adopting them into the family changed everything mostly for the better but the bad things kinda got alot worse. Idk been focusing on the phoenix effect more

The Phoenix Effect is kinda an extension of that. Its basically the same thing but adds the cass apocalypse series into it. Basically how future Ame being there also changes things and how oopies mystics powers are hard to control after being half dead in stasis for about 12 years hope Ame does trys to leave to protect everyone from himself only to get kidnapped putting everyone in worse danger also oopies isnt that the super dangerous alien someone accidentally freed awhile ago

The Future Diary - So i watched The Hot Box's video on the anime future diary and well here we are

Another rottmnt oc thing. Ame obtains a diary from his future self being like "hey so the world is gonna end soon here's how i think you could possibly stop that. Pls dont do this all alone ur like 5" and ame decides to do it all by himself.

Got all eight chapters planned out already with two already at stage two (aka fully written out just needs to be edited and stuff). I just dont know how to use ao3 in this sense or how to tag stuff plus i got anxiety so its just sitting in my notes app

Video stuff cuz yes

Currently working on a few more special videos. On my channel ive technically reached 100 videos (i unlisted alot of old ones/never posted a bunch more so technically i reached that months ago but shhh let me have this) plus i got 135 subs now so celebrations are in order. Idk what to say bout this, am making a video using the ok ko ending song idk the name, one is a fake collab a friend made and another is an original meme a youtube mutual/friend by association made. Plus like so mant mini things for my ocs, Dimension and Watcher are gonna get so much development and cute couple moments.

Also everyone else is gonna go through so much trauma my gods its gonna amazing.

Also ive been trying to like voice things, audio quality sucks cuz im working off of my tablet but like ive voice a few of my own videos (only one posted) and like its so fun i wish i had proper stuff to do this so i can do it more

Other art stuff

I got a toyhou.se (its EnviousDeath), pls enjoy these characters and stuff

Im trying to make my art more mess and chaotic while staying clean? If that makes any sense. Still a lover of doing gacha stuff but am trying to branch out more.

Also btw how do people just idk do social stuff like trade characters, comment, and just aaaa idk what am doing i forgot how to do social stuff and also i never understood how to do this type without being awkward as hell

Character stuff

Watcher - *slaps religious trauma onto them* bitch gets sacrificed. Okay okay so Watcher, wasnt always Watcher. Before they used to be Ena a simple kid who was sent away for reasons i havent thought of yet to a church. Blah blah corruption, Watcher gets sacrificed for not falling in line blah blah they were saved and given a second chance.

Dimension - *slaps alot of anxiety and identity issues onto her* bitch got issues. Same as Watcher, Dimension wasnt always Dimension. Before she was Ellie a poor girl hated by her whole town because of the lies their mother spread about them and their father who had left years ago. She only had one friend, Watcher. Somehow they managed to make contact with each other despite being in different universes. Eventually Dimension snapped and went on a killing spree, slowly ripping apart her world in the process because this wasnt supposed to happen (think spiderverse canon events but different ill explain later) with her world crumbling around her, Dimension messages Ena one last time, not knowing Ena was already long gone, and accepts what they assume to be death only to fall into whats basically the anti void from utmv, gets corrupted and became a villain technically more of a multiversal criminal.

(For time and length reasons im cutting this segment short)

Multiverse stuff

OKAY TIME FOR WORLD BUILDING

How does what happened to Dimension's universe work? The way i explained it is like spiderverse canon events but different, but heres the details. Idk how to explain this but bare with me

Imagine each universe as a game in a folder on a computer. Each game has different code, story, art assets basically all are mostly different.

Most games are coded to have very specific story events and when something goes wrong everything breaks. Like take a spaghetti thing of code that shatters the moment you try to do something like trying to talk with an npc while having a status effect and thats how some of these worlds are like. And Dimension's was very much one of those worlds, and her breaking down like that shattered the code of their world and everything fell apart.

Im too tired to continue but my main multiverse is like one big computer own by a game creator who only sometimes knows how to make a stable game

Feel free to ask about any of what ive just ramblef about am always willing to ramble bout my stuff

[thegeminisage]

it's officially zelda time! i forgot my amiibo yesterday so that's what i gotta do first

i think i need to do more fighting bc i have an ABUNDANCE of weapons and i can't take any out of these chests lol

NOOOOOO AND I JUST GOT SWORD OF THE HERO........................rip :(

AND the dusk claymore...no.......i don't even have room in my HOUSE for this many weapons

i just gotta travel back to my house to do the rest. h8 to leave when i just got here but this is ridiculous lol

sorry boulder breaker. move over for zelda's kickass tp sword

TWILIGHT TROUSERS!!! hell yeah

ok, back to where i was before i get tempted to do something else lol. one of these days i'm gonna build a cooler house...i saw some on youtube that blew my mind...i was blind to the potential because i was too busy focusing on limitations...which are still fucking stupid btw

aw, i found a note on a table about mr whats his name worrying about finley in the sludge. see now if i had explored this properly the first time...

in absolute hysterics trying to get this korok up a cliff without shelling out for a bike. i stuck him to a log and he rolled over and over and over. i wish i had taken a video

oh my god blood moon guy BACK IN THIS CAVE LOL i already rescued him from here once. pfffft

oh shit he just warned me tonight would be the blood moon...the worst fucking time right as i get into this complex cave system :/ ty for the heads up at least...

thank god, the flux heart went away when the MS ran out of power lol

lol this chef's diary in the wells. "i tried to eat something beyond our understanding" girl so true. i hope we actually get to meet her somehow

yoooo zonai ruins where vah ruta used to be..................miss you, girl

damn there's like a whole cavern down here. i wonder why they didn't put anything in it

OH there's a chest when you ascend...clever!!

holy shit the sidon straightwashing and sisterwife shenanigans continue lol. i found a little zora monument where he talks about seeing yona as his big sister, older and way more mature than him, until his "feelings became more difficult to quantify," and then his dad just informed him they were getting hitched. like. dude. are you ok??? HE LITERALLY MARRIED HIS SISTER, who is a stand-in for his mother!!!! like does he even LIKE girls?????

goddammit i lost my bike looking around in this fucking cave WHY DOES ITALWAYS DESPAWN...

aww here's another story of the first few years after mipha's death...geez, poor sidon

a little disappointed i missed all this when i was here before...and even these are only 2 tablets out of like. 10? i think? man.

and i have such fond memories of running around here in botw struggling so much and not knowing what the HELL i was doing or what was going on lol. sidon my first true guide outside of the plateau cheering me on the whole way! nostalgia.

NOOOOOO im reading another and man zelda begging forgiveness for mipha's death...wah

"she held that unthinkable disaster at bay for 100 years with nothing more than the sheer force of her will" THATS MY GIIIRRRRLLLL

wah sidon admired her inner strength.......

AWWW sidon has a new quest for me!! yay i love surprises

aw well it's just a treasure hunt. but still

dropped this fucking bike all the way from the top of the zoras domain fish statue and its still in one piece. hell yeah

omg one of these zoras is a crab freak...he's lucky i had enough with me, i use these things for cooking all the time

holy shit there's a CHASM uin this hidden cave...i saw it on the map and wondered why it wasn't there. it's so freaky how none of the water flows into it

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VAH RUTA HELM

hell YES

i havent even touched this part of the map in the depths yet...i am unfortunately compelled to go down the chasm :/ maybe it will be fine and i will find so much zonaite! idk, i really liked it at the beginning of the game when i was actually too underleveled to be there, but now it just all feels the same. very blegh

immediately i spot a mine, a lightroot, and like a bunch of those huge poes. i even found a few crystalized charges just lying around!!

brightbloom seeds on water are so pretty.........

anyway life hack use a lynel bow for 3x the light lol

god damn it there is ANOTHER mud octorok thingy voer there i do not want to i do not WANT to

jesus christ that was so fucking annoying. i HATE that one

YOOOOOO 100 crystalized charges...ok maybe worth it

i used to ignore these little stations with zonai parts...now i'm thrilled this one is stocked with bike material lol

DAMN WAIT OK.......my master sword is WAY more powerful down here!! shes glowing!!! this is the first time ive fought with it in the depths...thats wonderful!!!!!!

i read somewhere that you need like 4500 zonaite or something to max your battery out...which is bad...but i did just get like 100 in this one camp. so, 45 monster camps...still bad but like, not undoable

three monster camps done. i see a fourth one but my fucking bike despawned and i am officially sick of being down here. i'm out!!

hateno detour to turn in all this fabric i got.

dammit i went out and got monster curry for this fucking sidequest here and now idon't have GORON SPICE? gimme a fucking break i'm fast traveling right now to go get it who knows when i'll be back this is ridiculous

bought their fucking stock out. BACK to hateno...

i can use...the school's field...?

FARMING SIM?????????????????????

well lol i have nothing useful to add to the field and the npc does all the work, but still cool!! this game rly does have everything

the problem w my battery is, idk where any of those little shops are. i got one under the great plateau, one on the great sky islands, and that's it. are they just in abandoned mines??

great sky islands to buy Even More crystalized charges. stopping to get some fans. maybe i'll put my third medallion here since i need them so often...but there's a shrine closeby, so maybe not

got one and TWO THIRDS of a battery!!! not bad for just one little trip underground (tho i didn't get it all from there lol)

god this will make biking so much better.........

back to zoras domain. i have it on good authority (i saw it on my map by accident) that my climbing gear is here and i am LIVID that i've been living without it all this time bc i didn't fucking explore properly. i know there's some in this cave let's FUCKING go

ok, i didn't find it. apparently in a different cave, the whole zora area is lousy w them

unfortunately tho i gotta go to bed so that's a problem for future me!!

[taricide]

Ever after high put worms in my brain and forced me to learn digital art .

[zephyrine-gale]

posting old yoi zine pieces ! 1/3

[kedreeva]

Im so fucking lucky my graphic tablets been rendered unusable by my stupid fucking laptops operating system because pretty people in skirts are one of my Top Weaknesses and i wouodve fucking considered NOT ONLY DRAWING IT but possibly attempting to fucking animate that shit (the hat throw too, becayse YES I HAVE UNFORTUNATELY READ THAT POST) and i absolutely DESPISE animating i am absolutely TERRIBLE at it

LISTEN SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE SHIT at least like,, only one of them has ever been at my actual flat,, and i only ever made or bought food or otherwise financially or materially supported like,,, half of them,, and only ever played therapist and Adult To Come To™ for like 25 of them,, they mainly just see me on the street and ask me to play with them or stay with them for a bit or whatever anyway now that i think of it depending on how lax our definition of unofficial adoption is i might have like 5 to 10 more but i dont think those count if theyre in a different country and ive completely lost any way of communicating with them,,, right,,? Actually no do Not answer that

YOU DO NOT GET TO COME IN HERE AND BRIBE ME WITH A FUCKING FIC SO I DONT FAIL MY CLASS GODDAMN IT KEDREEVA

Anyway so i know just about NOTHING about the shop except for like 5 mentioms of it in fics but i do have Thoughts on the interpersonal relationship that robin and steve appear to exhibit and i absolutely fully declare that they EMANATE platonic soulmates vibes (maybe qp even if anyones feeling generous just sayin) anyway they are so fucking stupid and they are so fucking smart and they both have one braincell but they can only use it for the other person like one of them only gets to use their braincell if its in place of the others braincell using it for said persons benefit (robin maybe gets tk use half of hers for herself the rest od the time steve only gets a quarter) anyway they strike me as both so very codependent but also very much capable of taking care of themselves but yk yk like thoughts like wheres the line between codependence and relying on another so much simply because they are so Close to you emotionally that they are kind of a part of you anyway is there even a line is there a line and like just idk mate theyre such dumbasses (esp steve) and steve is such a fucking lost puppy (part of why he end up with a full litter of pups ig)

Anyway i do not know much about hopper but i was really rooting for him in this ine fukcing fic where steves parents are being abusive shitheads and hopper gets him thr fuck outta there and him and wayne lowkey fight over custody of steve for a split second but then i found out hes a cop so i was instantly like ehhhh yk what maybe lets not put so much faith in him right away and then i was checking out that cws last night befire watching out of curiosity (NO IS TILL HAVENT SEEN ANY OF IT I GOT DISTRACTED BY AO3 AGAIN TILL 4 AM) and a commenter said that hes a bit of a dipshit to eleven at some point so like hmm mixed feelings dont know enough (ie dont know shit) abiut canon to have any opinions i could back up with aby sort of argument on him specifically

AND YES I DO KNOW WHO DMITRI IS AND I HAVE ONLY SEEN HIS NAME ONCE IN YOUR DAMNED POST KEDREEVA

I know a teeny tiny bit about the russians doing some fucked up shit at some point in the series and steve and robin getting tortured or something (because there was this scebe in this one fic where steve would constantly sneak in through the windoe and sleep eith robin in her bed after that debacle cause neither could sleep or something alomg the lines of that it was SOFT ok it was H/C OK but anyeay ive got NO clue who that fucker really is i imagine him as eithe some average stereotypically russian looking man or like fucking dartagnan but like that twink version of hik dont ask me whats going on in my brain but as i said THOUGHTS and OPINIONS™ (which i am so very unqualified to give)

ALSO I JSUT NOTICED THE FUCKING TAG YOU USED FOR THE ASKS TOU FUXK YOU FUCKER YOU MOTHERFUCKER THATS VERY SWEET YOU FUCKKING FUCKER

And apologies for the novek length ask (hope tumblr doesnt eat it cayse it usually eats any long asks i try to send) and the immense amount of misspellings but i have been outside in the cold for about 5 hours in a thin leather jacket so my fingers are kinda freezing and its also drizzling so ohone slippery

I cannot believe your computer's operating system hates me, specifically, like this. The hat throw is essential I'll have you know. Like he actually really loves the outfit except for that!! fucking!!! hat!!!

I think it's sweeeeeeet! You adopted many children because you are kind and good to them!! You are loved by small innocent beings that recognize you will help them!!

I am justified in offering any bribe I want, tyvm! It's on you if you want to accept it after doing well. I will be proud of you finishing such a big task either way!

Steve and Robin are definitely platonic soulmates! If you watch nothing else of the show, you simply MUST see the bathroom floor scene between them, you will cry over them with the rest of us. I can also advise you see the scene where they're tied up in the Russian holding room, lying on the floor confessing things to each other. Breaks my heart. I love them so much. They deserve cuddles. They DID totally get captured by Russians but I think you're missing the important part. They got captured because they were down in that base on ACCIDENT. Dustin got them into this mess, with help from Robin, and Erica. Steve was practically just along for the ride. And then the Russians CAUGHT THEM wandering around the base, and Steve took 1 look at the situation, decided that not all of them were going to make it, SOMEONE had to get caught and it sure as hell wasn't going to be His Children, so he purposely stayed behind. And when he called out to Robin, because he knew he couldn't hold the door the Russians were trying to get through by himself long enough, Robin (who you MUST understand, she is brand new, she's known Steve for like... a month, she's known Dustin for a day or two, she's known Erica for a few hours, she doesn't even KNOW about the Otherworld Shenanigans yet, as far as she knows this is just about commies in the basement) takes one look at Steve, at Dustin and Erica, and she bolts to his side knowing full well she's gonna get captured, too. But they are gonna make sure the kids don't. together.

Hopper is COMPLICATED. He's an asshole, no mincing that. He was a child soldier, or close to it, who was experimented on w/ chemical warfare bullshit that ensured his military-group companions either couldn't have kids or their kids were messed up and died as babies. Hopper fell in love and had a child, a little girl, who died when she was little (five or six-ish?), and it broke him, and him breaking also broke his relationship with his wife. Over the course of the show you get to witness that he desperately, desperately, just wants Family (and by god, who does THAT sound like) and to make sure no kids are ever harmed if he can help it. He was serving as chief of police because he didn't really know what else to do with himself, and then The Horrors happened and he realized oh fuck my mission in life is to protect El (and what that looks like varies, because what he WANTS and what he is CAPABLE of doing are separated by a canyon at times, he is a disaster of a human being but he's trying and they love each other even when they're screaming at each other) and make sure none of these dumbasses get hurt around her. And then he goes and falls in love with the mom that loves her kids more than life. Like, don't get me wrong he's still a dick. He's just also full to the brim with love. And they killed him in season 3, but he's fine now.

Dmitri, my beloved. he was the prison guard that was trying to save Hopper and help him escape the russian prison he'd ended up in due to nonsense.

I went and personally grabbed this screenshot from my own copies of the show, just so I could show you his smile upon realizing that Hopper starting a fight w/ him so they could beat the shit out of each other was actually NOT because he hates Dmitri, but so that he could grab things off the guards that separated them, so they could use those things to fight monsters with together. Oh!!! They are still friends!!!

anyway I want them to have upside down shenanigans instead of russian prison shenanigans. they deserve to fight each other and monsters. I want married couple bickering. I want them to hate each other for a while, but band together to fight off worse threats, but fall back to fighting each other after. I want... one of them to be injured and the other has to take care of them because they don't wanna be alone. "I'm the only one that can kill you, dickhead."

I'm sorry I didn't get to this sooner, I went and did responsible things like write my nanowrimo story and tend my birds and clean some stuff. But you gave me smiles all day, and I appreciate that, you are lovely <3

[azumasoroshi]

okay this is kinda long overdue BUT i have many noumu hawks sketches and i just think they’re kinda neat

first sketch! note that the “BONE WINGS???” never became a reality, but I have entertained the idea in some other wips.

Bone wings are the coolest thing ever man idk what to say

and yeah the boa came from ujiko in the final because i don’t think dabi would have a feather boa hanging around and ujiko is just weird enough for it to be less questionable

the boa has no symbolism i swear its just a replacement for hawks’ fluffy coat

working on the face was. interesting

(this one made me giggle uncontrollably for about five minutes)

the eyes look better here LMAO

the split face was a cool idea, but i ended up not going with it in the end mostly because it looked kinda weird LOL

full outline!

one of my discord members said that hawks looked like he had little t-rex arms and i havent stopped laughing at it since

personally i was aiming for him to be copying dabi’s frankenstein pose, and i think it ended up looking more like the “is he....yknow...” meme so many different interpretations here it seems

the general color scheme! note the second pair of wings added lmfao

his claws look weirder every time i look at them but. these drawings were made in december give me a break

more sketches! these are pretty bad ngl (when noumu hawks has more of an ass than living hawks) but they give off the creepy vibes he was intended to have pretty well i think

it was at this point that i really started to forget that noumu hawks was supposed to have a scar over his eye like in canon, so that got completely omitted from YLMTM unfortunately

it was also at this point that i started drawing the mouth tearing open through noumu hawks’ face all over my schoolwork and my teachers would be like “ayo what the fuck is this” and i wouldnt be able to respond because 1. id have to explain noumu 2. id have to explain hawks 3. id have to explain why hawks was a noumu 4. id have to explain dabihawks and just. no thank you

oh MAN this was a doozy

i can’t recall if this exact scene happened in YLMTM but it’s just noumu hawks protecting dabi and dabi being like nooo

while i was drawing it i was like “this is so cool omg” and then i finished it and i was like “oh hell naw”

this was drawn in march, so not too long ago! i’d like to go back and edit it a bit, but ibispaint crashes my entire tablet every time i try to open it because there’s so many layers, so i’ve resigned myself to never being able to fix it unless i redraw everything, unfortunately.

still pretty proud of those wings though like goddamn

and here we get to the most recent update to noumu hawks’ design! i drew this like two days ago so it’s pretty indicative of my current style hehe

i’m sure i’ll find all the problems with it soon enough but right now i think that looks pretty damn good

i changed up the eyes and claws a bit, and i think they look better now :D

i have many more sketches but most of them are on paper homework and aren’t very good, so that’s all for now lol

anyway if you’re seeing this on your dash and you have no idea what im talking about or what YLMTM is, boy do i have the angsty dabihawks fanfiction for you

Art Resources

Check out this plethora of art-related resources archived from Comic Tea Party’s Art Resources Channel!

RebelVampire

starting this channel off with @Kabocha 's site http://www.shooting-stars.org/ lots of fantastic brushes and materials to use for both photoshop and clip studio(edited)

https://inkarnate.com/ - a nifty site for creating maps. while there is a pro version, the free version still has a lot of features if you just need a map for personal use to reference for your stories.(edited)

https://bodykunposeoftheday.tumblr.com/ - lots of pose photos of the SH Figuarts Body-Kun figures. really great if you want to get some anatomy and pose practice in!(edited)

http://blog.studiominiboss.com/pixelart - if you're a fan of pixel art, this is a hugely great collection of tutorials by Pedro Medeiros. it's got everything from process explanations, animation tips, shading, and more.(edited)

http://terawell.net/terawell/ - Design Doll, a great 3d program solely focused on doll posing. learning to pose the dolls can be a bit of a learning curve, but it can be fantastic if you really need a specific pose reference.(edited)

http://www.yeoldemapmaker.com/ - another map making website. this one is a lot better for interiors, especially if what you want is to just understand the base layout of a room for reference.(edited)

https://www.textures.com/ - a good site for textures. you have to make an account to download them, unfortunately. however, theres tons upon tons of them. for comics they should be safe, but would recommend checking terms for other things.(edited)

https://nattosoup.blogspot.com/ - If you aren't familiar with Becca's blog yet, it's really great. while there is an emphasis on watercolor and traditional art supplies, theres honestly just great information all around. processes, supply reviews, and so on!

http://leifandthorn.com/2018/07/resources-for-making-webcomics/ - resources I've collected over the years. Mostly art stuff (fonts, color harmony, body types, etc), plus some help with website accessibility and some general webcomic podcasts.

Desnik

This is not a free resource so I hope it's okay, but in just a couple of days poring over the first two pages of this book, I'm really feeling a difference in the elasticity of my character's poses. It doesn't get bogged down by medical terminology and sorts parts of the body by 'landmark' instead: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23580472-anatomy-for-sculptors-understanding-the-human-figure

this is speaking as someone who has multiple years of figure drawing practice from life...I wish this book had been out much earlier, it's just amazing

JaSketch

https://www.calligraphr.com/en/ Here’s a free to use website that turns your handwriting into a legit text font, and it works too!

keltyzoid!

speaking of fonts i've actually made a few that are free to use. there's a couple of webcomics i know of that use them. should can i post them?

this is a pretty basic level "how I do comics" but i like to reference these how-to's from Mad Rupert sometimes as a refresh on comics: http://mynameismad.tumblr.com/post/163801383099/hello-in-case-you-havent-heard-the-sakana

Especically the "stop drawing _" advice

I dealt with that a lot in school

[everysongineverykey]

*claps hands* alright motherfuckers i havent made a natm post in literally a year so heres one:

I’ve just got a nice idea for a post-natm 3 au where ahk and his parents get transferred back to brooklyn permanently by some amazing museum executive, bringing the tablet with them, of course.

You can guess what happens: People reconcile, friends are made, and parties are had. Big parties, just like the one at the end of natm 3, but about once a month, just for fun. Jed and Oct are dj’s (and Jed has a field day with the “disc jockey” puns, obviously) and everyone else just dances and has a great time.

But one person’s still missing, of course: Larry Daley himself. He’s a teacher now, and enjoys his job, and maybe he’s even got a pretty high position, who knows? Anyway, sometimes, after sundown, Larry’ll walk down to the museum and see the lights erupting from the stained-glass-wall, and smile, but never go in, because he knows it’s no longer his place to be.

But then one day, he makes friends with the current night guard at the brooklyn museum, and they’ll beg him to come see the museum one night after sundown, because he’ll never believe what happens there every night. And he tries to hide his excitement, and at first refuses, but consents to a short visit after his friend insists. 

What he doesn’t know, however, is that his new friend knows that he’s worked at the museum before.

They know he knows what happens after dark.

But they’re bringing him along because they like him, and because their good friend ahkmenrah simply insisted.

Ahk, you see, has been missing his old friend quite a bit. The new guard is sweet and all, but it’s just not the same without Larry’s bittersweet greetings and polite sarcasm. His parents, of course, can’t understand their son’s fixation on this strange “Guardian of Brooklyn”. They’ve met him, and he just doesn’t appear to be anything special.

Oh, if they could see the world through ahk’s eyes.

So one night, Larry and his friend walk into the noisy museum lobby, decked out with everything bright and colorful. It seems like the party will never stop-

Except once it does.

As soon as the exhibits spy Larry’s face in front of the door, the entire building falls dead silent. No breathing is heard, no footsteps, not even the sound of the cds turning gently, even though Jed and Oct have stopped moving them.

The first sound that is heard is Attila, screaming in surprise and delight and running to wrap Larry up in a hug.

The second sound is a confused, yet enthusiastic “Lawrence, my good boy, I thought you had left us!” from Teddy.

The third sound is Ahk’s soft “Larry. Guardian of Brooklyn” just as he starts to move closer.

Larry doesn’t waste any time in running around the lobby desperately trying to hug each and every one of them, including the animals.

As soon as everyone’s finished with their tearful hellos, they start the party right up again, and Larry, being the awkward, serious guy he is, refuses to dance, saying he’s fine just watching and talking.

Well, you all know where this is going. Ahk grabs Larry by the arm and whirls him onto the direct center of the floor so that he has no choice but to dance. So he does. He dances to the very best of his ability, which of course isn’t very good, but Ahk just smiles adorably and eventually grabs him by the arm again, and of course they start to dance.

It’s not a wrap-your-arms-around-each-other-and-sway-slowly-to-the-music kind of dance, but it’s not completely impersonal, either. It’s a quick, lively one with the partners touching hands, twirling and dipping each other occasionally. Larry once swore he’d never be caught dead dancing with someone like this. Ahk and Larry both know this, but neither of them care all that much at the moment. It’s fun. And fast. And personal. 

And…

And all of a sudden, they’re kissing, and the dance becomes a lot more personal. 

And soon enough, it’s not even a dance anymore, and they’re up on the roof together, talking.

And the conversation they have goes something like this…

“But why can’t you stay here? We’ve missed you! I’ve missed you! Whatever you’re doing right now can’t be as important as-”

“You heard me, Ahk. I love all of you. But I’ve built up a life for myself. I’ve got a new job. I can’t just give that all away.”

“Not even for me?”

“Don’t give me that. Look.” Their fingers are intertwined by now. “I do love you. But-”

“But you’re not willing to throw your life away for me.”

A silence.

“No, I’m not. And I’d never be willing to do that. I’m sorry, but-”

“It’s okay. I understand. If I were forced to choose between my kingdom and my lover… I’d probably do the same thing.”

“You mean that?”

“Of course. Just… make sure you come back and visit every month.”

“Of course I’ll visit you. I love you, Ahk.”

“I love you too.”

If either of them have anything more to say, the opportunity to say it is closed, along with the gap between their lips. They stay up on the roof until sundown, and when they return to the lobby to help clean up, no one asks where they’ve been. They don’t need to. 

After all, the way they look at each other tells them everything they need to know.

So, Larry keeps his word, and visits the museum at the same time every month for the next couple years. His affair with Ahk becomes somewhat of an unspoken agreement around the place, something that everyone is aware of, but feels no great urge to address. His visits are always welcomed, and each time the news he brings with him gets better and better- it’s always some kind of promotion he’s received. Last month, he told them he’d been accepted into a “new line of business,” although he won’t tell them exactly what it is. 

Then, one night, the current guard pulls them aside and tells them that he’s actually become a congressman.

No one believes it, of course- until they show them several articles about it on their phone. 

Then they do.

And when Larry comes to visit the next month, Ahk pulls him onto the roof again, but there is no romance in this conversation.

“Well, Larry Daley? I’m waiting for an explanation.”

“…Who told you?”

“Our good friend the night guard. Everyone knows. And I’d like to know why we had to wait so long.”

“If you’d been given an opportunity to rule a new kingdom overseas, wouldn’t you have hesitated before-”

“This is more than hesitation! You lied to us for several months. I don’t know why you’d-”

“Ahk, this doesn’t change anything between us.”

“No?”

There is a lengthy pause.

“No. I’ll always have time for you. It’s not like I’m moving out of the state or anything.”

Ahk is a little reassured, but their later conversation that night is strained, less personal.

Later, though, he relaxes a bit, thinks, Well, he’s perfectly capable, what could go wrong?

Poor Ahkmenrah.

To jinx himself like that.

Larry goes on to do great things, though. He’s a huge asset to the state of New York. Congress loves him. The people love him. Everyone loves him.

At least, that’s the general impression until one fateful night in mid-May.

Everything happens so very fast. The poor guard ambles in one evening, slumped and depressed, and when everyone asks what’s wrong, they look the exhibits right in the eyes and tell them that Larry Daley, congressman of the State of New York, has been killed in a hate crime.

An unidentified gunman shot him twelve times in the chest before taking off, apparently.

Larry Daley, Guardian of Brooklyn, is dead.

He’s dead. He’s dead. He’s dead. That’s all that runs through Ahk’s head for the next few hours. He’s dead.

And he excuses himself quietly, walks up to the rooftop, and sits down and looks at the night sky.

And for the first time in nearly three thousand years, Ahkmenrah, Fourth King of the Fourth King, ruler of the land of his fathers, closes his eyes and starts to cry.

Not too loudly, of course. To let anyone hear him would be embarrassing. But he sobs quietly, covering his face with one arm and hugging himself with the other. His sorrow disappears into the night just as quickly as it is announced, heard by nothing but the stars.

And Ahk stares up at the sky, his vision blurred with tears that, when he wipes them away, reveal a seemingly infinite expanse of darkness, the air too polluted with artificial light to see more than a few stars.

But he doesn’t have to see the Milky Way to feel incredibly small at that moment.

And that’s how it goes for a long time.

Every night, on the anniversary of Larry’s death, Ahk climbs to the rooftop and sits there, alone, and wonders why.

Why he had to get stuck with poor, stubborn Larry.

Every time, some of the exhibits- his parents, or Teddy, or Jed and Oct- follow him up and tell him they’re there if he needs them.

The first few times, he refuses, insisting he’s fine.

But about five months later, he starts accepting their presence. 

And a year later, he stops going up to the roof, deciding it’s not healthy to hold onto your past forever.

Every month, the date comes and goes. But it’s not an unfortunate reminder anymore. It’s not a rude awakening. It simply is.

And life goes on.

Until, one day in the year 2099, Ahk is transferred again, this time to a museum in Vermont. He’s been in and out of Brooklyn and Britain a couple times by now, and he’s seen his fair share of Japan, and even Egypt, for a couple years. He can handle a quiet museum in a quiet state. 

What he doesn’t anticipate is that the Vermont museum is currently unveiling several new wax sculptures, depicting some of America’s most famous members of government, including senators and congressmen.

So, on his first few nights in Vermont, Ahk walks around a bit, makes friends with the mummified cats in the Egyptology section, talks to a couple of Greek Gods, nothing extravagant.

And then, two weeks in, just while he’s heading to the busts, he passes a room with about twelve empty human-sized glass cases, and decides it’s worth checking out. So he varies his route a bit, and by 3:AM, he’s met eight different members of congress, the senate, and the House of Representatives. So he’s walking slowly on back to his exhibit to talk to the cats a bit more, rather happy with his new acquaintances.

He’s just about to pick one up when he hears footsteps outside, coming gradually closer.

And then a voice.

“Get off me, you stupid cat, I don’t care if you were a god in ancient Egypt, you’re dead now, I don’t need this…”

Oh.

Ahk knows that voice- But it can’t be…

Can it?

The pharaoh races out of the room. He looks to the left. The footsteps stop short, but there is no one to be seen. He looks to the right.

And.

And it’s Larry.

Larry Daley. Guardian of Brooklyn. His Larry.

Larry stares at Ahk. Ahk stares back. Then the congressman breaks the silence by slowly moving closer. Ahk can’t resist reaching out to touch his cheek.

And Larry smiles. “Ahk.” And Ahk can’t resist pulling his mouth into a giddy grin.

All he can say is, “I never thought I’d see you again.”

There’s a brief pause, and then they lock in a gentle kiss.

And then they both laugh, and laugh, and laugh. And Ahk grabs his arm and leads him to the roof, where they’re too busy looking at each other to look at the stars, but it’s the thought that counts. 

“Looks like now, you’ve got no choice but to stay with me,” Ahk says, still grinning.

Larry smirks, but it soon turns into a warm smile. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

If a stranger were to look out their bedroom window at the museum roof that night, all they would have seen was two people tangled together as one.

anyway just a suggestion :)

General contact is different between others and among themselves. Nicholas and Leonard are not very touchy among acquaintances or even friends. If Nick gives you a pat on the back, or touches your arm, call that the ultimate win. Leo is just nearly the same, but takes longer for him to warm up to someone. Theo on the other hand, is a lot more friendly and has no qualms about getting in your personal bubble. He honestly doesn’t mind physical contact, unless its in a vilent manner of course. Among themselves though, the twins will always have an arm on the others shoulder or on Nick. If they’re sitting down next to each other, the twins will just sorta lean against each other without thinking, especially if they’re tired. They’ve just been that way since they were kids. Nick on the other hand, he doesn’t really initiate physical contact, but when its his brothers, he doesn’t pull away from it either. In a sense, with all the shit they’ve been through and roughin it out in the west for a decade, the contact is just this soothing brotherly gesture they’ve all gotten use to. May look strange to some outsiders, grown brothers leanin on each other like they’re still kids, but they don’t give a shit, it’s none of their damn business anyways. 

Physical appearance headcanon

See this is where i wish my tablet would just damn WORK >:T I kinda figure out the appearance of an oc while drawing them and i just havent gotten the chance. So! I’ll give you what I definitely know about them. 

Theo and Leo are tall. Very tall. Like 6′4″. They were rather small as babies but damn when they grew, they didn’t stop growing lmao. They’re all burly muscle too. They are identical twins, so their faces are mirrors of each other. Strong jaw and chin, rather prominent nose, average to high cheekbones, and the classic ‘Teale green’ eyes that all the brothers have (their mothers side). Their hair is a normal to lighter brown. Almost the same cut and length of Arthurs in the first chapter of RDR2. They do generally have a little bit of a beard growing out along their jaw and chin. But they do shave on occasion depending if they need to blend in for a heist or just want a change of pace. Sometimes one brother will change his hair style or cut and then the other will follow along and copy it. Mainly because they do like to look alike but they find they share the same aesthetics for styles and appearance so they mimic each other a lot in that. :p The only minor differences they have is that Theo has some minor old scarring on his hands, from working with knives. And Leo’s got an old gunshot scar on his right shoulder but it can’t be seen when he’s got clothes on. 

Nicholas on the other hand was sickly when he was a year old and so he’s a little smaller, coming up to a 5′10″. Doctor said he wouldn’t live past age 3. HA! Proved him wrong now didn’t he? He’s stubborn like that lol. The height doesn’t really get to him though, besides everyone’s small compared to his brothers. He’s got that similar strong jaw, but his mother’s straighter nose, which unfortunately has an old scar across the bridge of it when his dad threw a bottle of whiskey at him once when he was a teen. He’s got those ‘Teale green’ eyes. and a furrowed brow, which really doesn’t help his Resting Bitch Face™. But boy does have some nice eyebrows though lol. His hair is a little bit longer than the twins and is a soft dirty blonde. He usually keeps it swept to one side but he still gets a few strands in his face when riding or just doing his chores for the day. He does have some old scars on his left arm and a bit on chest when he fucked up on one of his first big hunting trips and almost got gored by a massive six point deer. 

Wardrobe Headcanon

Now I’m still personally working on an idea of what the boys generally wear but I got some definite ideas. 

The twins usually wear some form of button up shirt with suspenders and a vest with a bandanna or tie. Usually their shirts wont match but im playing with the idea that they wear the same vest. They’re shirts also, are rolled up to their elbows. They big boys with big muscles, no point in ripping seams, just keepin em rolled up ;p. They wear jeans or basic pants, depending on the occasion, with some nice dark brown leather boots. The only difference to the twins is what they keep on their belts and satchels, mainly Theo hoarding all his knives and medical supplies. Leo just has some extra oatcakes on him in case he sees a horse lol. 

Nick wears a long sleeve shirt with suspenders and vest with a tie. No rolled up sleeves though, he wears a dark coat instead. It was one of things he ever bought with money they stole, so he has a slightly sentimental fondness for it. He usually will wear gloves with it as well. He wears jeans and sturdy riding boots. Not very fancy, but hes the more practical one out of the trio.  On his belt and satchel is just the usual riding supplies and lots of extra ammunition. He’s the sharpshooter/hunter of the group so he always makes sure he’s well supplied. 

Ahhh they’re a bit long but I hope this is ok! :) Again, once I get my tablet working, i’ll be drawing them out. Thank you so much for the ask! This was super fun to do! :D

Opinion on;

Character in general: bitch, I MEAN BUTCH, is honestly a character that I never really followed 100% even when i was in the PPG fandom. like really. Blossom was always my favourite and she was a bit of a role model of mine when i was younger but… the RRBs have also been kinda like pushed far FAR back away from my mind too. like I can tell you that of all the ‘bad guys..’ HIM scared tf out of me but i liked them, and I liked the Gangreen Gang, AND from the 3 boys, I liked Brick the most. (lol and from what I can see, you interact a lot with all three of them – one of which i actually followed on the fandomless version of mimi but yes hello if you reblog this from me, tell them I said hello and im watching them lmao) (also aslo i lowkey liked sedusa but she’s not nearly as close as the others) anyway back to bitc– BUTCH. yes hi. um… Character in general… honestly. I really couldn’t tell you without bringing you up cause like he was def one of those characters that I didn’t really stop to think about. I’m sorry!!How they play them:*cracks knuckles* alright. SO. can i just say that the moment you told me that you had a PPG blog i instantly wanted to follow cause like???? PPG was my life??? I kid you not we had a cassette with Mr. Mime when i was young SO I WATCHED THAT EPISODE SO MANY TIMES. and whenever it was on I would drag my younger sister to watch the show cause it was my all time fav. well next to ATLA but REALLY whos counting. aNYWAY. Again Butch was one of those characters that I didn’t really care all that much about and its not cause like i hated him its more cause i genuinely didnt get to see MUCH of him. (mainly cause at the time we didnt have time to watch TV and I still kinda dont unless my S.O. is around) But you? honestly makes me want to rewatch the entire serious from beginning to end. Like I watched plenty of episodes (a majority of them) but I never got to actually WATCH them now in a correct timeline. which is unfortunate but you really do make me want to watch it again. You interpretation is very motivating to be honest. Very real. and honestly, I always love all of your characters. Butch definitely has some spunk in him and I could never have imagined blossutch until you told me and i instantly followed you and saw. And honestly. it’s so refreshing. You should know that I don’t often read other people’s threads, but I definitely read yours and pants’ threads. why? cause like… its NICE and you make butch very realistic, EVEN FOR a super powered being.The Mun: HLDHFDS hai Ryan. How are you? I just wanna say that yea we’ve probably been mutuals for a really REALLY long time but we never got to ACTUALLY speak until this year and i kinda wish we got in touch way earlier cause honestly? you’re such a great guy. like really. We have our moment where we don’t talk a lot but when we do its always ALWAYS packed with the best content. I’m very excited for your OCs and like adlhjkdf i know that im shit for small talk but still I’m kinda happy you told me some things that you said to me cause it gives me life and purpose and I’m genuinely happy that you enjoy my presence on the dash. (also im sorry im taking 5ever on these art asks I havent been able to use my tablet in a while so all art thingies on on hold. but yes anyway Ryan. You’re so wonderful and great. Super chill and I hope you know that you can come bother me at ANY TIME cause like. my discord is 100% up lol trust me Sometimes it just takes me a bit to reply cause im either sleeping or have no service in potato land.

Do I:

RP with them: Kinda? We have a couple of threads on other blogs. but Butch and Mimi no we don’t have anything super stable and plotted through.Want to RP with them: OMG yea??? alWAYS?? there’s never a day where I don’t want to RP with you. Like plehs. We can plot something. I honestly have come to like plotting. I can try to write something up. Im still iffy on doing ACTUAL replies on discord i can always plot but rping on discord is still a thing that I need to get my mind around. but omg yes please. I know ive been shit at replies lately but like I have very little motivation. you must know the feel too. but if you want. i would love to write a drabble too!! honestly i love to write and You one told me you like my writing so if you want, i can do le drabbles for you lets do the plotty plots so we can both have fun idk. im now rambling my bad…

What is my;

Overall Opinion: binch add me or give me your damn friend code so i can add you. k thnx.

**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty
