Pretty amazing to be something, at least.

“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town. “Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”

it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.

Just spent a long time replying to an anon who asked me about how to improve at anatomy and likeness, and then tumblr just decided to delete my answer </3, so I'm just gonna make a proper post out of it.

My biggest advice for improvement is to just get really, really, REALLY obsessed with something and then draw this certain thing non-stop until your hands fall off (please don't, do your stretches). Of course, doing proper anatomy studies is super important, too, but the second you decide to follow your heart and draw that yaoi ship that won't let you rest 24/7, you will see improvement in no time. And when you do sit down to do those boring studies? Draw your favorite character shirtless. Make those boring studies fun!

Here's some anatomy books I highly recommend:

Anatomy for Sculptors

Drawing Pose & Form

Every single Morpho book

These books have been the most helpful to me, especially Anatomy for Sculptors! Highly recommend just religiously copying every page from it. (These books can be found as free pdfs online, you do not have to purchase the physical version unless you want to. I know they're not exactly cheap.)

Here's some helpful websites/programs for studies:

Line of Action Insanely helpful website with lots of study material. They even have an integrated timer and randomizer for all their reference material!

Grafit Studio on Gumroad They offer a huge amount of anatomy reference packs of all kinds of poses and people. I've been using their reference for my studies for years! They do cost a little bit, but they also have a bunch of free test packs.

GestureDrawing! A timer and randomizer for your references! Works the same as the one from Line of Action, though with this program you can use your own references.

How to capture likeness:

It's incredibly easy to fall victim to "same-face-syndrome" but how does one avoid it?

Do studies of all kinds of faces! Old faces, young faces, asymetrical faces, round faces, long faces, square faces etc. You gotta draw faces that might not fall into our modern understanding of "beauty". I know, drawing conventionally hot people is super fun, I enjoy it as well, but if you want to improve at capturing likeness, you gotta understand all the little details that make a human face unique. Those deep wrinkles around someone's eyes, that little bump on someone's nose, that nice fullness to someone's cheeks. There's so much beautiful uniqueness to human faces, I highly recommend properly studying them. Look at an actor you like or a friend/partner you love and figure out in detail what makes their face the way it is, and try to think about how you would capture them on paper.

It's also incredibly important to understand the structure of a face. Where do the muscles sit that cause all of our expressions and how do they influence each other? What does the structure of the skull actually look like?

Here's two youtube tutorials that go into this more:

Well, the Young Wolf is not really a completely blank slate character. There are things where we can pick and choose (like being human, Awoken or Exo for example), but the character has a defined story and personality to an extent.

Unfortunately, we don't appear too much in lore overall. Primarily because we are everywhere in the campaigns and seasonal stories and our story and actions are seen in-game rather than having to be written about. I genuinely don't think there's any significant number or lore tabs that involve us directly.

We're definitely mentioned and talked about a lot, but that would be a difficult compilation to make because of the amount of appearances, especially if we include any interactions and texts from various quest lines and seasonal stories. Some campaigns are also more focused on us and our experiences, especially in my opinion Shadowkeep (which deals with Nightmares that largely include the Nightmares highly significant to the Young Wolf, as well as our bond with Eris which helps her), Beyond Light (which is very much about us pushing ourselves forward into unknown and dangerous territory of using the Darkness) and Lightfall (which goes even further into that direction and deals with our problems in mastering strand - both of the Darkness powers are highly tied with emotions and mental state we're in, and they both rely on us overcoming different obstacles to finally be able to use them efficiently). The Final Shape as well, of course.

Specific lore tab wise, one of my favourites is obviously Thin Line which is about our Ghost's perspective on us. Other favourites are basically any that involve Saint-14 who's had a high opinion of us for a long time, before anyone ever believed him that we saved him, most notably Perfect Paradox, Saint-14's Gray Pigeon and Helm of Saint-14. If you want a bizarre way we're talked about a lot, The Chronicon lore book and Opulent armour sets from Season of Opulence deal with how Calus viewed us and what he imagined we would do for him in his fanfiction about us. But obviously these are... not really a correct view of who the Young Wolf is as a person. On a much better note, we should not forget Hawkmoon's lore tab in which we're getting drunk with Crow, while being observed by Savathun. We could possibly include also Ghost Community Theater lore tab. Ergo Sum for sure, in which we are mentioned at the end in abstract terms by the Traveler.

Probably one of the best examples is from Season of the Witch where we're canonically shown actively participating in more than just purely the seasonal storyline as someone who gets sent on missions passively and we are actually the ones who figure out the twist with Savathun and the pattern on her wings. This is also accompanied with the lore tab in the seasonal lore book where we are present in the scene and actually speak. I'm fairly sure that's one of two examples where we are shown speaking in a lore tab; the other would be Gjallarhorn. I genuinely can't remember if there are any others.

There's more obviously, as we're mentioned quite often so it's really hard to find everything. It's also difficult to search for; we're usually referred to as "the Guardian" in lore tabs, which causes the search to also catch any other mention of any other Guardian. The name "Young Wolf" is not used as often. The only other search parameter is VIP#2014, a code used by the Hidden that refers to us.

Behold my giant collection of Guardian & Ghost lore :^) They're mentioned quite a lot!

Some of these are a little ambiguous as to whether they're referring specifically to *the* Guardian, to Guardians in general, to a fireteam the Guardian would have probably been a part of, or even just the player themself in some cases, but I guess when I was making this list I figured they were relevant enough to include so hopefully they're still helpful

But yeah, there's quite a lot where we're referred to or spoken about in some way. Super difficult to search. Comparatively small amount of lore tabs where we're actively present. It's really interesting to me how we don't tend to appear in a lore tab often in the same way most other characters do. Even if we're there, we tend to be in the background or we're just acknowledged as present or being spoken to. I think these categories are really useful this way as well.
