Blind AU Notes - https://vivi-senpaii.tumblr.com/post/163358241096/blind-david-au (still figuring out kinks on the Sacrafice-boom-juice thing ) - David’s hair is droopy ‘cus its really hard to style it up when you can’t see yourself in the mirror (once he came out looking like Elvis, Max won’t let him live it down)

Amnesia AU - https://vivi-senpaii.tumblr.com/post/164732776851/were-doin-this (DETAILS NOT MINE - Was inspired by a post from sunlightisforplants ! But what I came up with : - Max has a bad day, and so he runs away from camp. Gwen and David didn’t notice until late into the night, and by then a huge fuckin storm was brewing. David Volunteers to go out looking for him while Gwen takes care of the kids - Its morning, and Gwen starts to get worried, but then Max pops into the cafeteria acting like nothing happened. Gwen is pissed with him and tells him off, then asks him where David is. Max had revealed he had come back on his own. That he hadn’t seen David since before he ran off. - Full scale search for the red-head bby - Max and Gwen eventually find him at the bottom of a cliff  (the same cliff Jasper fell from coughcough) and discover he’s a bit banged up but not dead. He’s unconscious for long enough to Gwen to call 911, but after she finishes David wakes up - Woop-di-doo amnesia - The doctors tell David that the best way to recover his memories is to stay where he is, a.k.a camp, where he has the most memories - (in this AU, David is an orphan/foster kid so he has no family that can take care of him, which is why he is staying in Camp with Gwen) - Davey and Max start off rough but bond over how sucky adults are when it comes to being nice to them (i.e family troubles) - Gwen has to take care of TWO little bastards now - Davey, not that he is an adult, also LOVES to drink. He often sneaks out of camp to go to the town bar (he also loves to drive)  - He is a lightweight so he passes out very quickly / gets drunk very quickly - Max often hitches a ride in order to help Davey back to camp when he’s fucked up Stolen Identity AU - https://vivi-senpaii.tumblr.com/post/164697016136/do-you-know-how-easy-itd-be-to-dye-blonde-hair?is_related_post=1#notes Just as it sounds like! - Daniel recovers from his poisoning and decides to take vengeance on Camp Camp for thwarting him. - He kidnaps David ratther easily ‘cus our boy is a dummy dumb and locks him in a cellar in the words idk its remote no one finds it - Daniel’s uses hair dye and green contact lenses, as well as stealing David’s neck-shirt (because he is just a dick plain and simple) and, with great ass acting skills, goes to camp camp and act like nothing’s happening. - Very good actor, no one notices for a long time - except for Max, of course - Daniel starts off planning to poison all the kids and put the blame on David, but before he can Max confront’s him. Daniel is super pissed but deides to roll with it and uses David’s location/health as blackmail for the poor kid - Daniel changes his plan to just make everyone as miserable as possible, crushing everyone’s dreams with subtle comments and insults here and there (and of course they will mean a lot to these kids because it’s David saying all those mean things) - But eventually, Daniel finds himself...actually ...enjoying Camp camp...the way the kids look up to him, treat him like a friend, care and play and tease him. There are rough patches, but the affections between everyone is just too good to give up - So Daniel’s plan changes and he simply decides he’ll just be David from now one - Max is very much furious about it - David, all the while, is locked in the cellar, often times going without food and water because a) Counselor work is tiring and Daniel forgets and B) Daniel is just a dick - Also, in order to make sure David doesn’t escape on his own, Daniel gives him food and water laced with rat poison to keep him constantly sick  

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

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!

the hot new trend is "guard posting"

I redrew this!

A few years ago, Erik put together these updated AT storyboard guidelines for new board artists and revisionists.
