I’ve been making gay knights (and ladies) collages on my phone at work
(Part two)
Starting NEXT WEEK, we begin the ultimate competition:
DMM: RISING STARS
These are ALL dinosaurs that have been discovered in the past five years!!! New friends from old times!!! Including such new fan favorites as Bajadasaurus, Jakapil, Meraxes, and Anachronornis - and that's only four of them!
From the weird to the wonderful, these dinosaurs are here to indicate that just because they were found recently, doesn't mean that they aren't destined to become icons like the names we already know and love. Get ready to learn about some new paleontological excitement - and debate angrily over which ones are better ;)
Round One will go from March 1st through the 7th
Round Two will extend from March 8th through the 14th
Round Three will then go from the 15th to the 21st
Round Four from the 22nd to the 28th
And the FINAL FOUR SHOWDOWN (Ornithischian Vs Sauropodomorph vs Nonavian theropod vs Bird) will occur from March 29th through April 4th!
Thanks to the new tumblr poll feature, reconstructions and mini factfiles for each dinosaur will be on the post with the poll itself! No need to leave tumblr, no personal research, no google quizzes - just rapid learning and immediate voting!
Get ready to vote! Get ready to debate! Get ready... for DINOSAUR MARCH MADNESS!

Prompt: write me a fanfiction of gay anthropromophized animation schools, sheridan and calarts, on a date to the zoo. include sheridan kissing calarts on the cheek and calarts falling into a pool of penguins Sheridan and Calarts stood outside the gates of the local zoo, their hands clasped tightly together as they gazed up at the sign that read "Welcome to the Happy Wildlife Park."
"I can't believe we're finally here," Calarts said, a wide smile spreading across his face. "I've always wanted to see the penguins up close."
Sheridan chuckled and leaned down to plant a soft kiss on Calarts's cheek. "Well, we're here now. And I can't wait to see all the animals with you."
The two anthropomorphized schools, both known for their excellent animation programs, had been dating for a few months now and had been planning this outing for weeks.
As they made their way through the zoo, they marveled at the various animals on display, from the majestic lions to the playful monkeys. But it was the penguin exhibit that really caught Calarts's eye.
"Oh my gosh, look at them!" he exclaimed, pulling Sheridan towards the glass enclosure. "They're so cute!"
Sheridan chuckled and wrapped an arm around Calarts's waist, pulling him in for a hug. "They are pretty adorable," he agreed.
The two schools watched in amazement as the penguins swam gracefully through the water, diving and resurfacing with ease. It was a magical sight, and Calarts couldn't help but feel his heart swell with love and appreciation for the amazing world around them.
As they were about to leave the exhibit, Calarts suddenly lost his footing and tumbled into the pool of penguins, causing a splash and a chorus of surprised squawks from the birds.
Sheridan rushed to the edge of the pool, a look of concern etched onto his face. "Calarts, are you okay?" he called out.
Calarts emerged from the water, soaking wet but grinning from ear to ear. "I'm fine," he laughed, shaking off the excess water. "That was so cool!"
Sheridan couldn't help but laugh at the sight of his drenched boyfriend, and he leaned down to give him a quick kiss on the lips. "I'm glad you're okay," he said with a smile.
As they left the zoo, hand in hand, Calarts couldn't stop smiling. He had never felt so alive and in love, and he knew that this was just the beginning of many more adventures to come with Sheridan by his side. The end

CRYING OVER DICK.
you'd been sitting there for an hour
when i came by
an expression on your face
like milk turned sour
i sat down near the half-finished thing
you'd spent your afternoon on
before you started crying -
i spoke first: 'what's wrong?'
you stammered
something about bullcrap and 'don't give a fuck'
and your lower lip tremoured
so i reached out and picked it up
it was a little thing. delicate. beautiful.
with loose parts that jiggled with a gentle ring
watching warily, you looked on as i pulled it apart
too frustrated to care about undoing your start
wordlessly, i put it back together
you watched my fingers move. unsteady. clumsy.
i knew you could do it better
but at least it would be funny
you giggled. said it looked like a butt.
'i'm offended! not like you could do as much!'
you laughed. 'nah, i think yours still sucks.'
'why thank you, I knew you'd be awestruck'
i handed it back with a grin
and you started over again.
that half finished thing.
ill figure it out <- common utterance of a girl who is completely fucked
Hello! I've rewritten this ask like five times so I'll just come out and say, you're one of my favorite artists, thank you for all the good stuff you put out, it's inspiring <3 I wanted to ask, what's your method of studying anatomy and expressions?
Thank you! <3 Ngl the last time I studied anatomy with effort, I was a kid in high-school. The only book I had on the subject was the Anatomy for the Artist from Jeno Barcsay. It was huge and detailed, literally muscle and bone deep, but I think my brain is wired more for the feel of things than the understanding 😅
I try to find nude or mostly nude pics for anatomy stuff. Adult photo sites rule as a source, people contort their bodies in all sorts of weird ways and I can usually find someone with the build I'm looking for.
When I sketch based on a ref, I try to pay attention to the silhouette, negative spaces and alignments. They help me correct mistakes.
And obviously I love to exaggarate things. (Evident on the waistline and pulled up leg here.)
Same with expressions, I guess. I try to push them but stay within the realm of believable. It's so easy to make a face look uncanny or creepy or w/e with a smile too wide. I have had a couple commissioners ask me before to tone down the initial expressions on their characters, and I think that was a nice reminder to pull me back to reality lol It can get especially weird with long narrow faces like Buttons'. I find it a bit tricky to make him have a large open smile while fitting it all on his head.
