#reference material

*no matter which way a Pippins is facing, their head is an elongated hexagon (except when it's a die) and their body is a square/diamond

*the chin is always in front of the body except when viewing the sprite from the back

*the red or green part is NOT the poncho. the black part is (except that one attack-preparation sprite where the arm color is above the black part). the red/green is underneath (I interpret it as a sweater with full-arm gloves) (though you all who draw it as a poncho are rockstars never stop kthx)

*is that a tie or a brooch or a pendant? are they wearing a dress shirt or is that just their body? the answer is any or all of the above

*but most importantly:

Not sure if it's been shared on here yet, but for all my fellow artists who are The Boys fans, you'll be salivating at the level of detail we get to see in this video featuring Homelander's suit because it's excellent reference material!

I personally love collating a bunch of references like a madman with a murder board whenever I draw anything, particularly character / fan art. I was really hoping we'd get a retrospective look at some The Boys costuming and props, and my wish was granted.

While we're on the subject, another excellent source of reference material for scenery and costumes of The Boys comes in the form of an official Vought international Amazon website. Here we have 360 / panoramic room tours and some 3D model references of Homelander and Butchers outfits. I've used these frequently myself for reference while drawing. I'm not sure how much longer this site will be up for (I've been meaning to screen record it to save the references for future use myself).

I love you so much Demyx 😭❤️

From the Kingdom Hearts 2 lite novel volume 1.

This takes place before they go antagonize Sora at Hollow Bastion the first time.

i'm looking over the tolkien character masterlist we made years ago and...we were so right besties @arofili @fingons-rad-harp @jaz-the-bard @stormxpadme

whoever wrote "extremely extenuating circumstances such as sentient swords and purses"..... this is a completely serious line but it's striking me right in the funny bone. be so for real right now mr tolkien, in which species category would you prefer we put William the troll's unnamed talking purse?

"chris tolkien's editorial assumptions count as Unknown" correct

[canonicity rankings as exemplified by a single character] and it's gil-galad and his horde of fathers. absolutely lmfao. based

anyway! if anyone is unfamiliar with this resource, it's a gem! you can sort by race/species, time, etc and all the tolkien gateway links are also available.

With St Pete 8 days away its time to unveil the 2025 IndyCar Primer!

Just like last season, this will be a living document. As things change over the season, such as sponsorships or possible driver changes, I will update it!

Also, the same disclaimer applies: I am biased and I make some jokes throughout. This is not an impartial document! Also, this isn't all that serious! Its surface level information for the most part, and designed to be a good way to cover a lot of basics! If there is anything anyone wants me to add, please let me know!

Some pics from work to give people an idea of how things would look in sweet Starlight
