I just discovered the ultimate hand drawing technique during class today. I call it, the FOOT METHOD observe,
So first we draw the sole of a foot like this:
Than we add three circles (like toes)
Now we add a "flap"
And a little oval
And the thumb
the rest of the fingers:
the best part of this technique is that it works almost always, like so
Now I'm leaving a more in depth explanation for this under the cut
alright so the hand is actually two separate pieces, the palm and the thumb.
The palm is kind of foot shaped and the thumb is a triangle
So I figured it would be easier to draw if I were to simplify it into two shapes instead of one it'd be easier to foreshorten.
And I was right!
The "foot" doesn't really move at all so if you want to foreshorten it all you got to do is change the size depending on the pose.
Where as the "flap" often changes completely, but at it's core it's mostly triangle shaped, So keep that in mind.
If you're doing a side view, then if we're looking at it from the thumb side it's usually a triangle and if we're looking at it from the pinky it's usually a rectangle.
Fingers are a whole other ordeal, but the main thing I noticed is that they start out thick, are thinnest in the middle and thick at the tip.
Thumbs are two joints connected to the "flap" opposed to the three joints of the rest of the fingers.
Aaand that all I got! I hope this helps somebody :D
Vox is attempting to sell the benefits of advancing technology to Alastor for the umpteenth time, either genuinely or patronizingly, when Alastor sees it.
The second greatest piece of technology he's ever laid eyes on.
He interrupts Vox in the middle of his tirade and zips up to it and is absolutely tickled pink by its creepiness and charming exterior.
Alastor, trying not to sound excited: And what's this delightful little thing?
Vox: Oh that's a Furby, a creepy kids toy up top, we're thinking of scrapping it actually-
Alastor: Oh? Then maybe I can take them off your hands.
Time skip to a few months later, Alastor and Vox are having another battle (duet) when Alastor manifests a new instrument Vox has never seen him play before made up of-
Oh no. no. no. nononono. NO.
A fucking Furby Organ!?
I think it’d be funny if Dick and Jason, due to wearing bright yellow capes on the job for years, are capable of stealth to a frankly unhinged degree. They barely have to try anymore it’s so second nature. Dick can just completely disappear while in the loudest neon clothes imaginable. Jason is constantly startling people who don’t understand how they missed a guy the size of a fridge standing right there. Bruce is extremely grateful for his unbreakable poker face because they have both startled him by accident and would never ever let him live it down if they knew.
i feel like the most important piece of wisdom i can impart on teenagers is that no one–no one–knows what the fuck they’re doing
my brother is 26 years old, makes $200k a year, and just bought a house with his fiance. he’s the success story you hear about but never actually meet in person, but it all happened by accident. he wanted to go to college for clarinet performance, but he got rejected from all the top schools. so he decided to major in physics instead, and then went on to get a doctorate to put off being an adult for a few more years. but then he ended up dropping out halfway through the program and accepting a job with google as a software engineer. so to reiterate: my brother majored in something he was not interested in, and then he got a job that had nothing to do with his degree.
he isn’t successful because he had some master plan he followed, he just stumbled around blindly until something worked out. and that’s what we’re all doing–i majored in political science and now i do customer service for a company that makes industrial-sized gas detection monitors. the marketing director at my company has a degree in biology, and my mom has an MBA and works at a middle school. no one knows what they’re doing, we’re all just trying different things until something works out.
so if you don’t have a plan, that’s fine. most of us don’t. and even those of us who do, don’t usually end up doing the thing they thought they would. it’s okay to relax and let life carry you wherever it’s gonna carry you. because even though a lot of us don’t end up doing the thing we wanted, most of us end up happy anyway.
DP x DC. Danny Phantom, Clockwork, Wonder Woman, John Constantine, Nightwing.
Clockwork goes to war with the Observants to protect Danny. It ends up spiraling into a fight that destroys the entire time stream, and with it the rest of their universe.
Clockwork manages to get them safely out to another universe, but with the time stream of their universe -the very object of his obsession- destroyed, his core is fractured, he has a few weeks left at most before his End. And with Danny's obsession being to protect, well... with Clockwork's impending death on top of the entire rest of their universe, the clock is ticking for him too.
No-one is the DC universe knows any of this when they first arrive. All they know is that another universe's version of Kronos arrnd his firstborn son Hades have entered this universe, which gets passed on hard and fast to the Justice League by anyone even remotely capable of sensing the problem, because That Is Not Good. A pair of critically injured ghosts were not what the Justice League was expecting to find.
Day (612/100) in my #∞daysofwriting @the-wip-project 2nd of Feb
Dumbledore's version of the events that Tom Riddle -record breaking top student who graduated with special merits to the school- ended up working at Borgin n Burkes, England's shadiest dark wizard pawn shop, as some sort of step, part of a multi-level evil mastermind plan instead of... because the british wizarding society is incredibly nepotist and built entirely of connections and favours that an apparent muggleborn could never achieve, says more about who he is as a person than anything he actively did in the books or even the fact that he dated wizarding hitler and agreed with his ideology until he got personally hurt.
You know I bet Vader could easily fix the whole Ever given Suez Canal problem. Smh at us weaklings. (This is a joke, I wasn’t sure it came across as funny enough)
He could, but whether or not he would depends on if Luke makes him.
SLIGHT Doom Patrol SPOILERS
I've been watching Doom Patrol lately and wow is it a fever dream.
A fucked up found family bumbling around and trying to be heroes? It just makes for some interesting dynamics with Danny having the most hero experience. There are so many ways to bring Danny Phantom into the Doom Patrol.
You could have Danny, Dani, and Jazz being hunted by the Bureau of Normalcy, and miraculously saved by Niles Caulder.
Or if you wanna go a more wholesome route, Danny the Street finds them and they gain a new sister in the form of Dorothy.
And then there's the dead boy detectives.
I love the batman crossovers as much as anyone but DC has so many more characters to explore.
Headcanon that all spider people get what’s called the “Spider-Zoomies” (which is a sudden burst of energy but it’s expressed through Spider-like behavior) except for Miguel because he didn’t get bitten, so every time he makes the mistake of going to HQ in the middle of the night, he gets jump scared by at least one Spider-Man:
Scuttling across the ceiling (Pavitr)
Hissing into the void (Miles)
Bench pressing a building (Peter B)
Jumping fifty feet into the air without warning (Margo)
Building some intricate contraption in complete darkness (Hobie, emphasis on trap)
Running extremely fast without making a sound so you don’t know they’re there until it’s too late (wtf Mayday)
Or crouching into a corner, completely still like a predator watching its prey, and the moment he gets close to them, they whisper “Hey” making him scream so loud that he throws his empanadas in their face (Gwen)
It’s essentially like you’re walking through a building full of eldritch horrors, and you don’t know where any of them are, but they all know exactly where you are, and they win bonus points if they scare the shit out of you. Miguel hates it here.
*thinks about my favourite character getting fucked over by canon* this is unacceptable *goes off to write fic where I fuck them over in my own, superior way*
Send me asks about Headcanons. I'll talk your ears off.
