ITS TIME

FOR

DINOSAUR MARCH MADNESS 2k23!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

messing with chat gpt to write me stupid little fanfics lmao

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

I've started to like Tumblr more now that I've forced myself to use it as the sole social media app on my phone.

Clam's Quick Tips for Starting Your Very First Webcomic

Howdy! Here are the three bits of advice I tend to give people who ask me about getting into webcomic-making. Maybe they can help you jump into the fray with a little less fear.

1) Make Your First Chapter a Pilot Episode

You will be told by webcomic veterans to start with a short, simple comic idea first - which is wise - but if all you can think about is your big magnum opus, then you might as well hop in, right? Otherwise you'll just be glancing back at the other cooler project forever.

But if you can't start with a small simple story, start on a small, simple part of that larger story. Your first chapter should be a snapshot of the main conflict - show us a simple scene with few characters, ease us in slowly, keep things clear and focus on emotion/impact/clarity. Get the audience to care by offering something easily digested, but full of promise.

Once you're done with that 'pilot' chapter, and you're feeling more comfortable with the whole comic process, you can open the gates and show us the larger world. At that point, you'll be way more ready.

2) Simplify Your Art Style For Your Own Sanity

Always try to make your webcomic's art style as simple as possible - the standard rule is to use only 75% of your artistic skill for every comic page you make. Otherwise you will burn out quickly and terribly.

But you also need to be PROUD of your art style. If you're really feeling itchy, add a couple bells and whistles to your style so you can look at the finished page and say "Yeah, looks cool." You'll find the right balance the more you draw.

Also, don't be afraid to change your art style as you go along. Ultimate consistency is often impossible in webcomics anyway - so embrace your desire to try new things, streamline your work, whatever you feel needs to happen to be happiest. Sometimes the coolest part of reading a webcomic is noticing that style change - so don't hesitate to embrace it!

3) Resist the Reboot! RESIST!

The curse/blessing of drawing the same things over and over is that you'll inevitably get better at drawing those things. The trouble comes when you look back at old stuff and start thinking "Damn, I could draw that way better now."

You must recognize that this feeling never goes away. Not after a hundred pages. Not after three hundred. Not after a thousand.

I think everyone should be allowed one soft reboot for their first webcomic. Redraw some panels that bother you. Change up some dialogue if it doesn't make sense with your new story ideas. Do maintenance, basically. One of the beauties of webcomics is that they can be easily edited, without reprinting a whole book or remaking a whole game.

But if the ultimate purpose of a webcomic is to tell a story, then constant reboots will just be retelling the same story - slightly better each time, but the same at its core. We've heard it before. Most audiences would rather you save your strength and just keep going, rather than circling back year after year and going "Wait wait wait! I'll do it better this time."

Reboot early, not often, and only when you absolutely must! You're a storyteller, and you're constantly getting better at telling your story. Don't be ashamed of it - look back how much ground you've covered, and keep walking!

---

That's a good start. Happy webcomicking - don't be afraid to jump in, but be prepared to learn a lot very quickly. And if this advice doesn't work for you or adhere to how you did it, that's absolutely fine - webcomics are diverse by nature, and so are their creation processes. Feel out what works best for you, and good luck!
