The Only Thing I Need Tumblr To Do Is To Get Like... Cool With The Idea You Can Hire People Here To Do

hi.

if you’ve been following me for 4+ years i’m certain you could make a chart of every character i’ve gotten attached to and it would tell you more about me than any therapist’s notes ever could. but we don’t have the time for that. there are other things at hand. do not even worry about it. next exhibit. we’re moving along. we’re walking

i have a few resources i look to consistently but i'm gonna plug anatomy for sculptors as One Of The Most Useful. great if you're a 3D artist, INVALUABLE if you're a 2D artist. gives you turnarounds of specific limbs/fiddly body parts like ears. great especially if you're referencing a photo and start looking at an individual part like 'wait, what the hell is going on in there'

One of the worst parts of current internet culture is that it makes good old fashioned complaining so difficult. I don’t wanna cancel anyone or bully anyone, I’m not trying to form a hate mob I’m not calling anyone out, i just wanna bitch about something. Because complaining is fun, good for you, even. Is that too much to ask? Where is the room for shooting the shit?

best advice i ever got as a writer was to pick a hobby that i hated more than writing and stick with it. i’m a runner now and it’s miserable and i Hate It and writing is so lovely in comparison. bonus: i’m in excellent shape and running gives you a lot of time to think about writing. i’ve solved a lot of plot complications while running.

This is such funny advice. Writing is so excruciating, you gotta take up Self Torture so that writing feels like a fun little break 😭

I forgot to add playlists - here’s both characters’ playlists!! Gulshan || Gulshan [instrumental] || Sena

Various doodles I’ve posted to my Twitter circle in the past few days! feat. Sena (my main WoL) and Gulshan (DnD / RP character - he works for the evil RPG church and hates his job).

I’ve asked a few other places already and mentioned it in Twitter circles, but I figure asking here as well can’t hurt - I’ve been pretty much just studying faces for two months and it’s not going great!

I suspect that it’s an issue with vision / “perceiving” the 3D forms, rather than a lack of technical knowledge, but does anyone have ideas for what to do while I wait for the optometrist to call me back?

I did go back to doing very basic fundamentals / 3D shapes, but it didn’t really help. Google is only giving me “how to draw the other eye” tutorials, articles about Rembrandt, and aphantasia resources (none of which are it).

I’m alive! Kind of! I keep forgetting to update places that aren’t the bird website.
