hello. do you know of any sites that make plus sized dresses? im mostly going for lolita or goth (or both) styles but any is fine. thank you!
Hi! So Iâve listed some shops that cater to plus sizes that Iâm familiar with. Just a note that with a lot of goth clothing most brands, for example Hell Bunny, are carried by many different retailers who will have various styles available. So while Hell Bunny does have a lot of plus sizes, they wonât always be available from the retailer youâre looking at. Shops where all or the majority of clothing is in plus sizes will be marked with a â *Â â If anyone else knows of any feel free to add!

Planning to update this article soon!
things i did that forced me to be a better artist:
used a reference for everything
thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinnerâŚ.)
sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing
THUMBNAILS
color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work
you like that pose? redo it one more time
USE A DAMN REFERENCE
do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy
draw the goddamn background you coward
just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand
the rule of thirds WORKS
take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint
know that art takes longer as you get better at it
draw the seams on clothes
stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts
justâŚdo the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works
stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.

Art Tip #327
If you have trouble visualizing rooms or perspective within them and need a visual reference the online and free program roomsketcher could be helpful. You can design different rooms/houses and take images from various perspectives.
There is an EVEN better program for that. Roomstyler 3D Planner has thousands of stuff and it doesnât require premium to see your room in 3D. And itâs free!
Thank you! Hereâs another useful program!

oh hey new guide thinggg~ some basics on how to practice! thereâs SO much I could add to this, so itâs just the basics :O
short (kind of): thereâs more to practice than doing something repeatedly, itâs also learning new things, problem solving, and honest critique. Each of those is its own skillâŚalso be nice to yourself!
Being able to picture a character in your mind so clearly and YET being unable to draw them at all the way you see them.
progress in art doesnt always have to be about better lineart, anatomy, colors, composition. sometimes you get better at not hating yourself when you dont draw as often as youâd like, or you get better at drawing things so slightly different nobody notices but it makes a difference to you, or you get better at appreciating othersâ art more deeply
My God, What Have I Done? is a god-tier trope tbh
Thereâs just something about watching a character come to the realization that theyâve just said and/or done something terrible, and it works no matter how they realize it. Whether the realization is immediate or delayed, sudden or gradual, it all demonstrates the characterâs shock.
I especially love it when the realization triggers a physical reaction - things like the character collapsing in shock or hastily backing away from another character. But it can be just as effective when the character freezes in place, unable to come to grips with having done something that completely contradicts their morals.
Itâs just a really really good trope.
30 Character Questions
I always want to know the weirdest things about characters so I thought Iâd write them down. Maybe theyâll help if youâre trying to flesh out a character?

2. What textures can they absolutely not stand?
3. How long can they go without showering before they feel gross?
4. Do they leave clothes on the floor or a chair?
5. Do they sleep with the bedroom door open or closed?
6. Which do they prefer: 3am or 3pm?
7. If they suddenly woke up with animal ears and tails what animal would they be?
8. If they could only eat one thing for 20 days straight what would it be?
9. Are they the type to re-read a book?
10. Would they want to know the exact date and time of their death?
11. Whatâs their favourite mythological creature?
12. If they had to listen to one song on repeat 100+ times what would it be?
13. Do they believe in an afterlife?
14. When they get tired do their eyelids twitch?
15. What are their favourite textures?
16. Do they crack their joints?
17. Would they eat/drink something too hot or wait for it to cool?
18. Are they the type to adopt strays? (Animals or people)
19. Do they get work done straight away or wait until the last moment?
20. How do they bathe/shower? Long or short? Hot or cold?
21. Are they the type to daydream?
22. Do they work best in a messy space or a neat space?
23. Do they keep any personal photos?
24. Do they indulge in anything?
25. Would they do the exact opposite of what someone says just to spite them?
26. If theyâre alone and hear a noise would they go and investigate?
27. If theyâre lost what is the first thing they would do?
28. What is that one dream that makes no sense but is absolutely terrifying?
29. What is the stupidest thing theyâve ever done just because someone said they couldnât?

More often than not Iâll crack into a sprawling fantasy series and, while I appreciate the luscious descriptions of furniture, landscapes, and clothing, all Iâm focused on is that I donât actually know how this world works. I only know what it looks like. Â
Including some functionality to your universe can add to immersion and give your reader a strong foundation on which to build their mental model of your universe.Â
You certainly donât need to use all of these questions! In fact, I recommend against that, as all of these certainly wonât make it into your final draft. I personally find that starting my worldbuilding off with 5 to 10 functional questions helps pave the way for glittery and elaborate aesthetic development later on.
How is the healthcare funded in your world?
How does healthcare functionally differ between the wealthy and the poor? (i.e. can only the wealthy go to hospitals? do poor families often have to rely on back-alley procedures?)
Where are health centers (i.e. hospitals, small clinics, etc.) organized in your cities?
Does it differ in smaller towns?
How does this affect peopleâs ability to get healthcare?
Is healthcare magical, and if it is, how does that affect the healthcare system?Â
If healing is instantaneous, how does that affect peopleâs views on injury, illness, and chronic ailments?
If you have both magical and physical healthcare, which one is deemed superior and how does that affect society?Â
What illnesses are common in your world?Â
How does this affect daily life?Â
What do the people in your world think illnesses are?Â
Is it a miasma theory?Â
Humor theory?Â
Demons?Â
Do they know about biological viruses and bacteria?Â
How does this affect healthcare?
How do people get water?Â
Is the water sanitary and if not, how do they sanitize it?
How does agriculture work?Â
Is it large corporations or individual farms?
What sort of agricultural technology exists in your world and how does it affect food production?
Are farmers wealthy or poor?
What sort of natural resources does your world/country(ies) have and how are they obtained?
How does this affect the average wealth of the country?
How does this wealth affect the culture?Â
What livestock or beasts of burden are most valued? Least valued? Why?
What is considered a luxury good vs. a regular good?
What forms of transportation does your world have?
What classes use what forms of transportation?
How far has the average citizen traveled, given your transportation limitations?
Which cities are the most accessible and which are the least? Why?
How do popular transportation methods change how cities/towns are laid out?
Does your world have public transportation? What is it?
Is there a coming-of-age aspect to travel?
Describe your worldâs postal system or whatever equivalent there is.Â
Who pays for it?Â
How reliable is it?Â
Are there emergency methods for transporting information?
How does your world keep time (i.e. watches, sundials, water clock, etc.)?
Does your world have a currency system, barter system, or something else?Â
If you have multiple countries, do different currencies have different values across said countries?
How does this affect travel?
Do you have banks in your world and if so, how are they run?
Who owns the banks? Government? Wealthy? How does this affect the economy and/or class system?
How does credit operate in your universe?
Does your world operate more on big corporations or small business? Something in between?
How are workers/labourers treated in your world?Â
Are there workers unions and if so, what are common views on unions?Â
Describe your tax system. If you donât have a tax system, explain why and how your world is affected by that.Â
Can certain social classes not own property, certain livestock, certain businesses, etc.? Why?
How are business records kept? Are business records kept?
If your world has technology, does your world prioritize developing entertainment tech, communications tech, transportation tech or something else entirely?
What does this say about your world?
How does this affect your economy?
To the closest approximation, what type of government does your world have?Â
How are rulers/presidents/nobles put in place?Â
How much power does an individual ruler have?Â
Is there a veto process?Â
If you have multiple countries, do they have different types of rulers?
Describe any large-scale alliances (i.e. countries, factions, etc.) that are present in your world.Â
How did they come about and how are they maintained?Â
Are they strained or peaceful?Â
How does it affect the greater politics of your world?
Describe how wars are fought both internationally and nationally.Â
Do methods of war differ between countries/races?Â
What about philosophies about war?
If there is a military, what is its hierarchy structure?
How does the military recruit?
Is the military looked upon favourably in your society?
What weapons are used by each country/type of people during warfare, and how does that affect war strategies?
Describe the sentencing system of your world.Â
Is your accused innocent until proven guilty, or guilty until proven innocent?
How are lawbreakers punished?Â
If you have prisons, describe how they are organized and run, and who owns them.Â
Does differing ownership change how the prisons operate?
What are the major ways in which laws between countries vary?Â
Do laws between cities vary? If so, how and why?
How does citizenship work in your world? What rights and privileges do citizens have that others do not?Â
Can certain classes or races not become citizens?
Are there certain taboo subjects or opinions that artist/authors/musicians are not allowed to depict (i.e. portraying the official religion in a negative light, explicit sexual material, etc.)? What does this say about your society?
How do people get around these censorship laws?
What is the official hierarchy of duty in your world? (i.e. is family the most important, or patriotism? What about clan?)
How many languages are there in your world, and how many languages share a common origin?Â
How many people are multilingual?Â
Which language is the most common?
How is multilingualism viewed?
How are different languages viewed? (i.e. is one language ugly/barbaric while another is romantic and sensual?)
