hold my hoops boys im drawin fanart for this brb

imagine its the last day of camp, alright. and all the parents are coming to pick their kids up. and all of them say their goodbyes, and head off. imagine that max is the last one to go. and, imagine that his parents couldn’t even come and get him. that they paid someone to go get him, and bring him home. imagine that person coming back with a note, a very angry note from david himself, explaining that he will go to hell and back to be able to sign the adoption papers for this kid. that he will take max’s parents to fucking court, to be able to give this kid the childhood he deserves to have. imagine max sitting in the hallway in david’s home, his ear pressed to the door, listening to the heated phone calls, and imagine him… being just, stunned. David cares about him enough to put his life on hold, to make sure that he can keep Max beside him until it’s time to send him into the world. David loves him enough to put him in a warm bed, and buy him all the teddy bears he’d ever want. for once in his fucking life, someone actually wants him. the only times David ever sees Max cry are when he finds that blank paperwork, and the day that David signs those adoption papers that make Max legally his. and from that moment on, every single summer of Max’s childhood is spent having… actual, legitimate fun at Camp Campbell. there is nowhere he’d rather be than with his dad, and his two best friends in the whole world.

They never close the door

Someone has probably already asked you this but do you have any tips on studying/understanding perspective? I keep trying to find resources to learn but none of them really stick or are actually useful

so I'm hoping that your issue isn't just figuring out the difference between 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point perspective and how it works, because there are tons and tons of resources available for that, and I'm guessing what people tend to get tripped up on is what you're supposed to be doing with your grid.

I'm definitely far from being an expert on understanding perspective, but I'll share some of the things that helped ME finally Get It.

Things like eye level and different camera angles can be a GREAT tool to use when doing a comic or storyboard between multiple characters of different heights!! I actually drew an example of this exact thing for a friend about a month ago (I used adventure time characters bc they're easy to draw and have a good height variety):

You can use camera angles like this to add variety to your shots, and even use it to help convey something emotional (using a down-shot on a character to show that they FEEL small, use an up-shot on a character to make them look more intimidating, etc etc)

hope this helps!

when the story is just not working, but you keep writing anyway

To whoever made the prompt list:

Fight me in the WalMart parking lot at 12:30 this is so sad and also making this comic sucked out my remaining will to live

not only does fluttershy smoke weed, the first time she did was at a party one of the other ponies brought her to. she was passed the bong and weakly said “oh… sorry. i don’t smoke, i’ll cough and it’ll be really embarrassing.”

other ponies are like “nah you can do it! we won’t laugh!” and then she was like “ohh… okay…” and then just took the fattest bong rip, held it for 3 seconds, exhaled. everyone is in shock. she then does a weak little not-even cough and goes “ohh… i knew it… and now you’re all staring at me :(” and runs away

I love the world-building of Nimona where everything is so modern but still has a medieval aesthetic. As someone who’s working on a modern yet still very cultural fictional place, I’m taking notes from Nimona
