[silentreigns]

Will Lewis and Charles have another pairing name besides 1644? Will Le² ever catch on? Do people use Lemilton? Hamclerc?

brainwashing chair but you take a buzzfeed quiz to find out what drone programming youll recieve

Like you get a brainwashing helmet forced onto you and instead of the spirals first you have to answer like 15 questions that seem completely unrelated to being a drone, like "Whats your favorite midnight snack"

broke: oscar piastri goes out of his way to single out carlos sainz in his race radios to give him shit about his driving bc he hates him

woke: oscar piastri knows how funny it is being a mclaren driver and lando norris’s teammate to only bitch about the ferrari driver who was both with mclaren and is famously very good friends with said lando norris. (the added hilarious contrast of someone who never gives out choosing to throw tantrums over the person who is crying on the radio every other race is merely a bonus)

galaxy brain: oscar piastri is well aware of carlos sainz’s array of issues, starting with daddy and ending with wanting to be liked, and is playing the world’s funniest longest most public game of edging

will someone point out to jack that he too was going to get the ring for boss by marrying rosé? and he only didn't because of romantic qualms and not moral ones?

Poultrino has changed to resemble a chicken, but is the feathery belly... fluffy?

(I mean it's probably goop but maybe it's plusher? Or "soft"?)

a lovely question hehe! ✨

she might not have feathers like an actual, non-gooey chicken, but the yellow "fluffy" parts of her body fairly soft! same goes for her white "hat" and "shirt", they're noticeably softer than the rest of her body. kinda like certain kinds of sea slugs, despite looking gooey they're very soft and velvety to the touch! that's how i imagine Poultrino would feel!

feel free to give your local Gooey Chicken a lovely pet or hug, she will not mind! ✨

rough art tips to learn and then break at your leisure.

the distance between your eyes is roughly one eye. the corners of your mouth dont extend past the middle of each eye. ears are roughly in the middle of the tip of the nose and the eyebrow. the eyes are in the very centre of the head. the neck is just a Little slimmer than the width of the head (varies with fat distribution, but fat tends to build up under the chin). hair is easier to draw when you plot out the hairline and then where it parts. leaving appropriate distance on the side of the face (cheekbone area and back to ear) contributes to making characters look more realistic/hot as hell. i dont know specific tips for that so use reference. an amazing reference/study site is lineofaction.com . if you think of the face in planes it makes it easier to construct (look up tutorials). if you draw a spiral like a tornado it can help you figure out awkward perspective for extended limbs (look up foreshortening coil technique). tangent lines are when two lines intersect and cause visual confusion (when it looks like a line that defines an arm is part of the line that defines a building, for example) and avoiding them makes your art way easier to comprehend. quick trick to good composition: choose a focal point (where you want your viewer to focus), detail that area the most, and make sure various elements of the piece are pointing to that focal point. you can use colours to contrast hue, saturation, and brightness and make certain elements of your drawing stand out. drawing in greyscale can help you figure out values. using black in a piece isn't illegal but you should know what you're doing when you do use it- it desaturates a piece and if used as a shading colour can desaturate and dull whatever youre shading too. if you use almost-black lineart and then add black to darken the very darkest areas it will do a lot to add some nice depth. the tip of your thumb ends just above the start of your index finger- your thumb also has two knuckles and all your other fingers have three. if you see an artist doing something you like (the way they draw noses or eyes or hair or anything else) you can try to copy that and see if you want to incorporate it in your style <- this is ENCOURAGED and how a lot of us learned and developed our styles. there are ways to add wrinkles to faces and bodies without making the character look a million years old, you just have to keep experimenting with it. The smile wrinkles around your muzzle dont connect to your mouth or to your nose; there should be a small space in between smile or nose and the wrinkle line. eyes when viewed in profile are like < aka a little triangle shape. think of the pupil like a disk and apply foreshortening to it (it looks like a line when seen from the side instead of a full round dot). subtle gradients can add a LOT to a piece. texture can also add a LOT. look up Tommy Arnold's work (his murderbot pieces are some of my FAVOURITE) and zoom in. find those random little circles he added and try to figure out why he added them there. light bounces. there's lots of way light bounces. sometimes it even spreads through the skin. i do not know these light tricks yet but i want you to know that they exist. draw a circle to indicate hand placement, draw a straight line between that circle and the shoulder, and then (normally at a right angle) draw a straight line on top of that line to find the placement of the elbow. elbows are normally placed Just above the hip when standing and your arm is at rest. there are no bad colour combos if you're brave enough about it, just fuck with the saturation and brightness until it works. keep playing. try new things. add your own tips to this post if you want or even expand on some ive mentioned here. good luck go ham etc

He is so happy with his new 3d body

I tried to make him 2d-like and i think i got that!!! There are a couple of visual glitches around shadows tho, gotta fix that...

Look at the happy boi

Look and tell me you can see how much stress he got me with his posing (i am an artist i thought i knew how to pose T_T)

So bg, eye and lighting on his claws is in procreate after render, everything else is in blender!

I've been reading a lot of science fiction and fantasy stories lately, by a lot of different authors, and I've noticed an interesting trend. Not something that happens all the time by any means, but something that's more likely to happen in one over the other.

Magic fixes problems while science causes problems.

And it makes sense that it would be that way, because magic is something that we don't really have, and we can only imagine what we would do with it if we did. Magic is just altering reality in ways that logically shouldn't happen, given our current understanding of physics. If we could change reality with a snap of our fingers, oh man we would do so much good with it.

But science. We've seen what science can do. And before it can achieve the lofty goals that it sets out to do, it goes through any number of failures and setbacks. We've seen the mistakes. We've suffered through them. Then in fiction, we extrapolate what could happen with advancements that we haven't quite reached yet.

With science fiction, we tell cautionary tales of a that future could be. With fantasy, we tell fairy tales of a past that never was.

Not every time. But often enough to notice.

okay. so.

cards on the table: ive had a huge question about a major part of SMEN for quite some time now and all the research ive done whilst trying to solve said question has been pretty much futile.

so.

i'm asking it to tumblr dot com instead.

major spoilers for seeking mr eaten's name, as mentioned. yes i'm asking this for exactly the reason you think i'm asking this.

what is st gawain's,,, Deal? like, what does it look like? how does it function? is it a dullahan situation or do we just go full body horror with it? exactly how literal (and visible) is "you chop off your head and get hollowed out to become a candle"?

i've seen the text. i know what the storylet says. ive just always struggled to picture, like,,,, what it looks like from the outside. whether or not you're essentially just a wax recreation of yourself. if you even still breathe and sleep after That Whole Thing. if you even bleed anymore.

i know these are all questions i can come up with answers for myself. and i can and will and that is a threat. but also i'm open to decapitation-themed suggestions.
