Hopscotch in Hell

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

>completely deranged movie that re-invented the mythology of WWII and forged it into a spectacle of righteous bloodshed

>has a character whose arc is completed by overcoming his resistance to gunning down unarmed, surrendering enemy prisoners

>whole thing is sheathed in uber-sentimental Spielbergisms about the duty and honor and sacrifice and shit

>Sets up Dreamworks Interactive

>Produces Medal of Honor, released 1999

>invents the genre-form of the military shooter and, again, slathers it in rousing sentimental justice and honor and shit

>In 2001, releases Band of Brothers, which he "created" and produced alongside Tom Hanks

>show all about camaraderie, and soldiers' duties to one another, about the bonds they form and the resilience these relationship provide these men in the face of the difficulty of what they must do, that being the war

>each of these stories are essentially about the burdened masculine duty of warfare, doing the difficult thing that must be done, the honor and dignity and sacrifice in the only war we've ever had that was ethically justifiable because of the the universal aggression of the axis forces

>makes the perfect case for why, sometimes, in the face of a truly great evil, warfare is just, and righteous, and men can choose to do it out of goodness, to protect that which they love, and that there is immense, heightened beauty in this love during war the likes of which nobody but a warrior can truly understand

>the first episode of Band of Brothers airs on September 9th, 2001

>In 2002, after working on and releasing Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault, 22 members of Dreamworks Interactive start their own studio

>In 2003, they release their first game

Working at Harvard in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s as a “Computer”, Annie Jump Cannon cataloged stars using their spectra from photographic plates, in an effort to understand the mysteries and peculiarities of stellar spectra.

This was hard, detailed, nuanced work. By 1889, three years into her work, she had classified over 1,000 stars. By 1913, she could classify 200 stars an hour. She could classify three stars a minute, just by sight. Using a magnifying glass, she could classify stars down to 9th magnitude, 16 times fainter than the human eye can see. And she did this all with exceptional accuracy.

Over the course of her career, she personally classified more than 350,000 stars, accounting for a mind-boggling 98% of all contemporary stellar spectra classifications, a feat that wouldn’t be bested until the 1990’s with automated digital sky surveys.

Cannon used these classifications to develop the Harvard spectral classification system (O–B–A–F–G–K–M), organizing stars by surface temperature and physical properties.

It is hard to overstate just how foundational her work was to modern astronomy and astrophysics. Her classifications have enabled more than a century of breakthroughs in stellar structure and evolution, including the understanding of how stars change over time and how temperature, luminosity, and composition are related. The system underpins the Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram, one of the most important tools in astrophysics, and remains embedded in modern research, from stellar population studies to galaxy evolution.
