OH MY GODDDDDDD

here's the style analysis template from today's video!

hot artists don't gatekeep

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.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Reblogging on main to say I had this happen a week or so ago when I went to a museum.

They had a Tsintaosaurus skeleton there (Tsintaosaurus was a hadrosaur with a sort of unicorn horn), and I had expected hadrosaurs to be about the size of a cow, or maybe a horse at most. Nope. They're almost four metres tall.

So imagine all 5 feet of me, in the dinosaur room, staring up at this enormous creature. It was awesome in the most literal sense.

sometimes u have to see something in real life to truly get it. Elephant in pictures is like 'thats an elephant'

elephant in real life is like 'wow, that's a fucking elephant

Apparently, this blog is 3 years old now?? I could've sworn I made it much later in the year but ok

I'm a bit worried about the CoS redesign polls...

They're going to be redesigning two of my favourite creatures (Flixlit and Nymphasuchus), as well as some others, and at least one of the poll options for each would make me hate them

Like I would cry for ages if they made Nymphasuchus a tank because I love how it looks like a crocodile-ferret. Nymph is perfect, he doesn't need a redesign :( I hope that when they do redesign it, they keep its cute toes. I love Nymph

And Flixlit is my main (by far; it's my favourite creature in the whole game) so any redesign that changes it would be a loss in my book. Thankfully the poll currently looks like this

So I doubt it will change much in the redesign. I just don't want the other options because spiky Flixlit would look dumb tbh

Still, I'm slightly worried bc sometimes the redesigns suck. I despise the Pero redesign SO much. They made a fine creature so ugly. They made my sweetie look like a demon. And everyone was mad about Kendyll's bad initial redesign (tbh I didn't mind that one and I actually think the new redesign looks out of place compared to the other creatures) so yeah.

I know this isn't remotely what I normally post, but I need to ramble about this because I'm anxious now. Here's hoping they don't mess up with the Flix & Nymph redesigns.

I promise I'll actually post art soon but until then, please. Lucids is so swag and the fandom needs to be bigger. Go watch it. Unless you don't want to have a mild existential crisis or paradigm shift, I guess.

a random guy rlly will go ‘what if i made the most interesting and meta bullshitty series where every character is acted by myself that will change how ur brain chemistry works’ n i have no say in the matter but to cry about it

anyway if you like multiverse and dreamscape-y stuff PLEASEEE go watch ‘LUCIDS’ by Nicholas Podany on youtube im like, actually losing my mind.

Oh god, it's art dump time (ft. all of my 2024 AF attacks)

Putting the good ones above the cut LOL

This grid setup is very awkward.

I wasn't as productive as I wanted to be this year, but I'm still happy with all of my attacks. Sorry for never posting here. I always forget that I have Tumblr. Maybe one day I'll get good at posting.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA
