Welcome to the boss level

happy new year -------------_--------------------

I just want to catch spelling errors and accidental double spaces and repeated phrases and whenever I use the wrong too/to or affect/effect and shit. But no. They've shoved AI up the ass of every grammar checking software out there and now they all fucking suck and make the most random, obnoxious, nonsensical suggestions.

I get why people keep saying this (and other versions of it like "Use Adobe alternatives" and "Use Google product alternatives."). But here's the problem: I do not create in isolation. Even my own 100% personal projects are getting sent to other people whether it's editors or printers or beta readers and unless every single person in that train is using the same products, things can get wonky.

Libre Office and Word handle formatting differently on the back end, which can completely break documents if you move them back and forth between the two. So if I write in Libre Office but my beta readers are still using Word, when I send them a manuscript for review there's a good chance things won't look right and my beta reader will not actually be reviewing what I sent them.

you get 3d model pose references with the option of having a male or female anatomy for each pose

they have a WIDE VARIETY of poses that you can search for using a TAG SYSTEM

(as you can see by the scroll bar in the second image there is Even More Tags)

you can select a pose you like for larger viewing and the convenience doesn’t stop!!!

you have full 360 viewing range of the pose plus zooming in and out

and what’s that? a TOOLBAR?? MENU?? THING??

Correct!

the eye button hold a very fun menu

negative space blacks out the background and fills the pose with a solid white silhouette

the “texture” refers to the skin situation of the model with the “color” and “grey” shown below

(i usually use color personally)

then there’s the option of different sized drawing grids(4 and 16 below)

idk wtf bounding box is about but it looks like this if it matters to you

“floor” toggles all shadows on the floor, “floor grid” you guessed it puts a like perspective guide grid on the floor that goes to forever, and “shadow” toggles ALL shading. there is NO lighting happening if you turn that off. NONE.

NEXT ITEM! that box thing with the line through it? flips the pose horizontally.

the little person symbol? lets you switch anatomies

camera icon? you can choose from a selection of preset camera angles PLUS an option for … idk what to call it but you can do this!

less flat right!! i’m sure there’s a word i just don’t know but this is maximum *that* so there is less *that* if you want it

the lightbulb gives you a menu like the camera one but it offers a selection of lighting styles with variable intensity

CHARMING!

and that’s not even everything this site provides!!!!!!! they have tutorials, instructional videos, lessons, all sorts of shit!!! (although they are vast majority if not all in japanese just a heads up)

AND ITS ALL FREE

DONT EVEN NEED TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT OR APPROVE OF COOKIES JUST GET IN DO YOUR THING GET OUT NO STRINGS ATTACHED

and if you don’t have ad blocker or are on mobile(like me) NOT TO WORRY

the ads are few and far between! ZERO video ads, NONE take over your screen or glitch you at all, they are of no concern i forget they’re there!

By all means mask your fear from others, but be honest to yourself.

He did his best to keep it hidden from the others, but alas, such phobias always had a way of brimming to the surface.

The knight’s unsettled countenance stroked the tyrant's ego and his words further drew out like a blade.

John’s heart trembled at the recognition of the sound.

Her shell was cracking, but Jane shook her head.

A malicious voice they all knew too well drew the simple sound out with dark relish.

Jane’s heart sank through her feet.

Though the princess was visibly fine, she was disciplining a shiver in her spine.

John froze, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

His breathing accelerated, pure terror clawing at his throat.

John tried to force his body to move, but his limbs were unresponsive.

His mouth hung open in silent screams.

His bones felt like jelly, feeling his legs about to give out.

John’s eyes threw open, a terrified yell reverberated throughout the room.

His eyes took in more light than expected, every part of him frozen as his thoughts desperately tried to catch up.

Rooted in place, John felt his stomach twist, his hands flying to clutch his chest.

All life drained from his face, looking as white as a ghost.

His skin tingled, heart rapidly beating within his chest as his breathing grew tighter.

The lights were on, yet nobody was home.

All the blood drained from John’s face.

To her surprise, her arms slowly trembled, a sinking feeling beginning to take hold.

She clenched her hands tightly in a futile attempt to quell her agitation, but her arms continued to shake uncontrollably.
