I Want To Write A Book Called “your Character Dies In The Woods” That Details All The Pitfalls And

actually re joking about being ‘the piracy friend’. do yourself a favour and stop relying on tumblr masterlists that are full of broken links and dodgy websites and just bookmark r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH’s piracy wiki (backup).

it’s the most comprehensive resource i’ve ever encountered my life and it’s also got so much extra stuff like decent free vpns/antivirus/adblock, a massive list of free software for almost every purpose you can think of, AND a list of custom search engines that mean you can search every site at once or you’re looking for something more obscure (this is how i seem to always have a link to literally anything)

there’s also this rentry, which i can vouch for less because i don’t use it so much but does have info on installing cracked versions of the more popular antivirus programs if you don’t want to pay but also don’t want to trust the free options lol

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it’s just… Social media. That’s it. Social media and news sites. And I’m tired of social media and I’m tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

TOH BACKGROUND TUTORIAL

I had been aked about this a lot, so figured I should make a proper post for it :) Resource files : TOH brush pack I made : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/844louovpwsi80d8ghdvi/h?rlkey=resqqlrl7p7qf1ifiqz209yxf&dl=0 TOH refs and background I saved + HD logo stuff : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ih9honsllfcucn8mcpg2p/h?rlkey=ntz4mskpnovgewa1tqp1psemh&dl=0 My TOH background (you're free to use them as much as you want, just credit me please !) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/m7te9h6h888jonzuoxyqa/h?rlkey=9q4hwnh3bl5mu5n0fgl3yrond&dl=0

literally most things that people write off as just ‘textures’ to use in graphics are stolen & unsourced material created by artists or photographers NOT meant to be used as elements in projects without royalty payments. you can say ‘it’s just random tumblr posts they don’t care’ but you wouldn’t want someone to take your work and edit into their work so they can be praised for their beautiful style and creativity even if they just post it on social media w/o profit, would you?? so maybe if you browse pinterest or google images for pictures without finding the original source, you’re using images that you’re not allowed to use without realizing it.

you see it on here a lot especially in (i won’t link anything but i’m sure you know what i mean) those album track ‘aesthetics’ posts, au ‘aesthetic’ posts (you see these less in kpop, but where people use non-royalty free images to kinda craft a visual au), and even just rather typical graphics that have a lot of ‘texture’ elements. and texture packs too!! that’s often where the problem starts; people just collect images (often literal art), compile them in a folder w/o sources, then insist no one can repost those images w/o crediting the person who compiled them. what???

SO may i suggest some of my fave places you can get FREE, ROYALTY-FREE elements that are totally legal to use

creativemarket has 6 free high-quality resources (textures, brushes, fonts, etc), different every week! wow awesome i check it every week

search ‘freebie’ on behance. awesome stuff!!! lots of v nice templates textures and fonts

mockup zone freebies

unsplash: tons of very nice free photographs, not shitty stock photos

pexels: same idea. + they have an adobe plugin so you can get photos without closing your editor damn nice

pixelsquid is a super cool free program (again w a ps plugin that i love) with lottts of super cool hq 3d elements!

as to not make this too long: spoongraphics, lostandtaken (textures galore), pixeden, freebiesbug.

i feel shitty have two of my comfort characters hug each other

Had a random question for you! Where do you get your ideas for hairstyles? All of your designs always have such a nice variety, but the hair specifically has always stood out to me!

Thank you !

Man, I wish I had a more interesting answer to give you but it really is just me knowing what I like. I just cultivate a lot of image refs for inspiration until I got to the point where I can just freestyle it from scratch.

I'll share some of my pinterest folders though in case anyone wanted to see where I got my inspirations from initially

https://www.pinterest.com/DeepSeaHowoR/doll/doll-hair/ - this one's from a game I think? I'm actually not familiar with the source material but I like the style

https://www.pinterest.com/DeepSeaHowoR/fashion/ - unrelated to hair, but hey, here's where I compile some cool looking outfits too
