moved

✧ hi everyone!! ✧

i just wanted to make a post to mention that ive moved blogs!!

so if ur a mutual or just someone who.. would put up with my latest interests you can follow there!!

ive gone to @voidsyhound !! i basically just post anything from my latest hyperfixations!

take care everyone, stay safe!! <3

every year every holiday every single Jewish post is “to the Jews out there! :) I support you” and adding on to these posts is tough because the rest of the chain established Jewish people as “other” and instead of saying wow what a cool cooking video or wow what cool candles or wow this looks awesome people tack on stuff like “some Jews I know might find this interesting!!”

how condescending would it be if every time I reblogged an anime Christmas gif I said “to those Christians out there ;)” or every time I saw a rainbow “to those gays out there ;)” and the rest of the comments were the same. how do you get in on that post without having to say “real Christian here! etc”

reblog Jewish posts without reminding us how few are left. reblog Jewish posts without assuming you know nobody Jewish, reblog Jewish posts without feeling the need to present them. tumblr needs stop featuring posts by non-Jews EVERY HOLIDAY on the Jewish tags (90% of the featured posts are “to the Jews out there!”) and most of all,

Include Jewish people in your activism

Uplift Jewish voices

Punching nazis isn’t enough, you have to dismantle antisemitism

LGBT Jewish people exist and are important

Support Jews of color

Don’t put a pad on boxers! It doesn’t work and makes a mess

To feel more masculine wear boxers over your //pad holding underwear//

Don’t beat yourself up, you are totally rad and cool, you’re body is doing something, but that’s okay, it’s not your fault and it doesn’t make you less valid!

If your cheast starts to hurt, don’t bind, some guys get tender breast tissue when it’s that time of the month, listen to your body, don’t push yourself!

Treat yourself to some chocolate!

Tea!!! It’s so good!!!! And green tea can help with cramps!

Advil! I use it when my cramps get bad, sometimes I get headaches and it helps with that too! Don’t take more than six though!

Go under warm blankets with nothing but your underwear on, preferably soft blankets, it makes me feel like I’m in a soft cacoon

Oversized sweatshirts! Always good! Especially for dysphoria!

Wear comfy cloths, always good to feel good

Eat warm soup, feels nice in the tum tum

Don’t eat super greasy foods, it can make your skin break you even more! And there are already so many hormones making your skin do crazy thing you don’t want it to get worse! Also it can make cramps worse

We live in a pretty great digital age and we have access to a ton of amazing tools that artists in past generations couldn’t even dream of, but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of using it.

Here’s the missing part of this tutorial:

How do you populate your backgrounds?

Well, here’s the answer:

If the focus is the environment, you must show a person in relation to that environment.

The examples above are great because they show how to use the software itself, but each one just kind of “plops” the character in front of their finished product with no regard of the person’s relation to their environment.

How do you fix this?

Well, here’s the simplest solution:

This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and comic artists alike when they’re quickly planning compositions. It’s simple and it requires you to do some planning before you sit down to crank out that polished, final version of your work, but it will be the difference between a background and an environment.

From Blacksad (artist: Juanjo Guarnido)

From Hellboy (Mike Mignola)

Even if your draftsmanship isn’t that great (like mine), people can be more immersed in the story you tell if you just make it feel like there is a world that exists completely separate from the one in which they currently reside – not just making a backdrop the characters stand in front of.

I’m a 3d artist and have been exploring the possibilities of using 3d as reference for 2d poses. I want to add a couple of tips and things!

Sketchup is very useful for environment references, and I assume it’s reasonably easy to learn. If you’re interested in going above and beyond, I highly recommend learning a proper 3d modeling program to help with art, especially because you can very easily populate a scene or location with characters!

Using 3ds Max I can pretty quickly construct an environment for reference. But going beyond that, I can also pose a pretty simple ‘CAT’ armature (known in 3d as a rig) straight into the scene, which can be totally customized, from various limbs, tails, wings, whatever, to proportions, and also can be modeled onto and expanded upon (for an example, you could 3d sculpt a head reference for your character and then attach it to the CAT rig, so you have a reference for complex face angles!)

The armature can also be posed incredibly easily. I know programs exist for stuff like this - Manga Studio, Design Doll - but posing characters in these programs is always an exercise in frustration and very fiddly imo. A simple 3d rig is impossibly easy to pose.

By creating an environment and dropping my character rig into it, I have an excellent point of reference when it comes to drawing the scene!

Not only that, but I can also view the scene from whatever angle I could ever want or need, including the character and their pose/position relative to the environment.

We can even quickly and easily expand this scene to include more characters!

10/28/20 I plan on moving out sometime in the near future to get away from my family and move in with my partner in California. AKA: I need money to help cover for gas, food, and motels.  Any donations will help! If you can’t donate, please reblog!
