iDoe ... coming to stores near u

on my hands and knees BEGGING YOU on info for how to draw dreadlocks

i don't know if i could make a good tutorial so what i can say is that references are ur BESTEST friend— via pinterest or just any image search engine

i do have these below as examples of how i draw locs, if that's anything.. ^_^ it's best to think of them as simple shapes, and then just adding more details and textures from there

Hi! I was just wondering, how would you go about drawing super curly/coiled hair, like african american hair, in the Arcana style? I've been personally trying to do a mixture of Portia and Asra's hair, but it just isn't looking quite right.

One of the biggest shames about the Arcana is that there aren’t any examples of afro hair in the style. Referencing Portia and Asra’s hair, especially for the curls inside their hair is a good idea.

The way I went about trying to think about it was taking the shapes of Tasya’s hair, making it smaller and tighter, and removing the sharp ends with the same curled edges. Also, from photo reference, coiled hair doesn’t “shine” in the same way as curls, so I tried to downplay the highlights you see in Asra/Portia/Tasya’s hair

How do you draw Abodes Dreads/Braids? I'm a black creator and still (embarrassingly) struggle with them in the arcana style. (And in general XD) the way you draw her is gorgeous. And I must know the magic you poses.

Nothing to be embarrassed for! Unfortunately there's not much reference for black hair in the Arcana, so we all have to guess. I'd highly recommend looking at @kianamaiart and Simkray's hair brushes for other examples of stylising black hair (if anyone has examples of black hair in angular art styles, please share!!)

Anyway, I hope this helps!

Dreads and braids are both segmented styles which makes their basic construction similar, however dreads are stiffer and hang less than braids, which are quite heavy

She usually pulls her hair back so I only have to pay attention to the hairline, but I draw each dread as a somewhat stiff tube. Where it connects to the scalp I feather in short, fine lines for the edges/thin hair that's attached to the skin.

To show the twisted texture of dreads, I add curved lines along each one. For me, this is a good balance of detail for the style (though I can still get tired of lineart -_-)

Then, as a final detail, I give Abosede imperfect ends, topping most dreads off with a thin twist. This is optional as some dreads don't have this.

Then finally, for colour. I take reference for how they render ropes and add a series of light lines along each dread. Dreads don't reflect much light, so these are pretty faint.

For some braided hairstyles, you just replace the tubes I use for dreads with a simple plait pattern (as seen in Lucio's masquerade outfit). If you're aiming for cornrows, instead of the segments, draw the tubes along the scalp with sharp ends. Then fill them with a plait pattern. For extra detail, you can hatch lines in between the cornrows where the hair is pulled into the braid.

Braids have stronger highlights than dreads, and I tend to dot them in the centre of each part.

So this is my basic process. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

This is sooooo goooood!!!!! 🤩😍

This is a radio program where people can call and talk to the squirrel girl.

and a specific caller is:

Charles?

I love that every time he calls this is the first thing he says😂

Now Charles you won't trickme by hiding behind your students!😡

Have you heard the sound of his huffing and teeth grinding?

I know you're listening Charles...

The way he says Charles is just great😂😂

It's like: I'm angry but in the same time I'm not very angry but i also want to hold my picture in front of these kids.

Silence! I'm speaking only to Charles!

He's not even willing to listen to anything.😂 he's like an angry house wife.🤣

What an ICON!!!

Oh my god this is Amazing!!!!😂🤣

So in the heat of the moment i told him i never shop there again. And I'm a man of my word Charles everyone knows that.

I can imagine Magneto as an angry grandfather who goes into a store and after being treated badly swears to never shop there again. And he keeps his word. This gives sooooo much grandpa vibe!!! I just can not...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He is a man of his word!!!

So i was wondering if you could send that Logan fellow here to trim my hedges

...

I don't know what to say🙃

Your trick won't work this time CHARLES! YOU HEAR ME????!!!!

He is not even willing to think about the possibility of having the wrong number🤣🤣🤣

He is so Karen!!!

Now listen! I know Scott could trim them to but last time he left scorch marks everywhere. I don't care for him Charles.

Scott! What have you done???😂🤣

This is not how you most trim your professor's huband's hedges.

And Erik's vocal expressions are really good!

This rudeness amongst your students Charles! I won't stand for it! And i shall not be denied! Some warnings are never given twice CHARLES! Remember THAT!

At the end, he threatens to show that he is still in control.😂🤣

Angry housewife Magneto!!!🤣😂😂🤣

Good talk! Charles call me back.

Completely normal. It's not as if he was threatening him two seconds ago.

Thats it! Thats their Relationship!

Now all i want to know is Charles reaction😂😂

Tell me what you think😂🤣

This comic is literally so comforting.

literally the only thing that bothers me about James McAvoy's Charles Xavier is whenever they have him using a manual wheelchair as opposed to his power chair.

first off, let me just say i LOVE the inclusion of a manual chair for Xavier's character. i think it shows that he's not just always bopping around in his high tech power chair and i love it.

BUT.

could they not have brought a single wheelchair user to show him how to propel himself? he spins his wheels with the least efficiency possible. i imagine it must have been absolute hell on his shoulders to do that.

if you're unsure what i'm talking about, this is the recommended stroke pattern when propelling yourself in a wheelchair on level ground:

this allows for the least amount of strain on the shoulders while maximizing the distance with each push.

this is the stroke pattern recommended for travelling uphill:

it's also the way that, when i first got my wheelchair, i (mistakenly) propelled. it hurt a shit ton and i didn't go very far on flat ground, so i wasted a lot more energy than necessary.

it's also the way james mcavoy propels in almost every instance of using a manual wheelchair in the x-men movies (i'd include gifs but i can't find any so you're gonna have to take my word for it). occasionally he'll reach a smidge further back but not nearly enough to get the maximum efficiency from each stroke.

one could argue that maybe he is so used to the power chair that he never really learned to use a manual wheelchair. but he uses one MULTIPLE times in the prequel movies. come on man.

otherwise absolutely love him but like... when will we get actual accurate disability rep

i feel like they should give charles a cane in the comics (if they haven’t already?)

cause they all seem to insist on him walking

i just think it would be cool if they didn’t like erase the fact that charles is/was a wheelchair user 🤨

now i’m not disabled so i have probably no say in this but it would be cool if they still included some form of representation?

idk just a thought

The New Mutants #55 by Louise Simonson

magneto as headmaster and the teacher of the new mutants my beloved

hello I come to you with a request. I watched x men 97 recently and was saddened by how little time the whole magneto in charge of the x men storyline got and I know he does this longer in the comics (I can't say why but the phrase "its seven in the morning max..." lives rent free in my brain) so I wanted to ask if you have any recommendation for comics from that era / any recommendations for comics with mister magnet-os because I want to get into x men comics but comics as always are so daunting

It is my great pleasure to answer this!!

Disclaimer 1, I am still going through a lot of the issues of this era but I will try my best to make it as clear a guide as I can for you!

Disclaimer 2, Headmaster of the school and leader of the X-Men are quite different positions that they kind of fused together in the 97 show so I do want to make it clear that magneto in the "seven in the morning" era is headmaster of the school, teaching young kids, while Storm is leading the X-men team and Scott is leading the X-factor team, so with that said:

Magneto's teacher arc starts in uncanny X-Men issues 199 and 200 (iconic issues containing the trial of magneto that was adapted in the show!) And then he is headmaster of the school in the book "The new mutants" by Chris Clermont, from issue 35 to issue 75. It is A LOT I admit and he gets a more minor place considering the book is about the kickass young class of new mutants that he's teaching. But it is worth checking out! Many consider this to kind of be peak magneto because.... he's trying so hard to be a good teacher and to handle all these kids and it's very humanizing for him!

I mean look at him and his 8 kids!

Now, how to get into Magneto overall? Let's get into it:

I believe it is impossible to get into Magneto without reading his ultimate origin story, Magneto: Testament by Greg Pack. It is a quick intro, it barely features his powers (not an action comic) and it is a very very emotional read. I consider it essential magneto reading!

Next up: Two One shots if you want to get a quick primer on the character pre moral arc instead of sitting through his few appearances in the Stan Lee comics:

A classic one: X-Men: God Loves, Men Kills by Chris Claremont. It is an iconic comic book one shot that can be read out of continuity just to see what his deal is when he's not necessarily on the side of the X-Men but fighting for his own ideals! It's overall a brilliant comic book!

If you want a more recent retelling of the first appearances of magneto you HAVE to read X-Men Mythos that retells magneto's major first appearance in the 60s in quite a beautiful and amazing way! It also has an absolutely insane magneto scene that is very memorable! (So this would "chronologically" come before God loves men Kills)

Now for his switch from cartoon villain of the 60s/early 70s to complex guy in the 80s, read the issues 149 and 150 from the run Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont. This is THE pivotal moment for "good guy" Magneto

(know that after issue 150, somehow he falls in the ocean from asteroid M, is rescued from a shark attack by Scott's girlfriend Lee Forester. They have a quick relationship where he struggled with his change of morals then he comes to the new mutants)

if you want to continue chronologically you read the issues 199 and 200 that I recommended at the start then go to the new mutants book I talked about earlier!

If you want MORE MODERN comics, then I advise you get right into what's happening at the moment!

House of X powers of X are two series that intertwine (you'll easily find them in the right order) by the same writer, Jonathan hickman!

It serves as a status quo change/relaunch of the X-Men universe. Magneto plays a big part of the story as he is directly involved in building a mutant nation. I'd say it's a bold but quite functional intro to X-Men comics!

Then he appears as a major character in the GREAT series X-Men Red by Al Ewing alongside Storm, a character that meant a lot to him in the 80s, so it's really nice to see again.

In this he is- epic, depressed, suicidal, sassy, it's great magneto stuff! This series is widely regarded as the best X-Men comic out right now!

(if you want context for this book read the event X of Swords, or I could explain if interested)

That's about all I will lay on you ! If this is hella confusing, don't hesitate to dm me! I can detail more cleanly exactly what you have to read and when!

Good reading!

magneto in his headmaster era after charles left him in charge of like 10 children with no warning

crusty evolution redraw. in theory.

hrrghgghbmnnmm x-men evolution nightcrawler….

i actually didn't care for him when i first started watching evo 'cause i thought him annoying as shit but now that is PRECISELY why i'm obsessed with him. Weird Kid™ kurt is just such an endearing concept and it's like he's just like me and I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY SO MUCH

What the hell, sure.

Charles drunk and flirting during chess night again smh

And an extra doodle:

Free Manual Wheelchair Reference Models

ID: A banner with grey 3D models of 5 kinds of manual wheelchairs in a line in front of the disability pride flag and text that reads "Manual Wheelchair References" /End ID

For disability pride month, I decided to release a pack of 3D manual wheelchair models.

The pack includes 5 wheelchairs:

2 Active urban-style chairs (one of which includes a smart drive)

1 off-road active chair

1 children's wheelchair

and 1 standard "hospital" wheelchair).

All the wheelchairs are based off either wheelchairs I or friends of mine have used

Downloadable here!

or on the Clip Studio Paint Asset Store (ID 2097442) (there's been an issue with the CSP version, but the models in the download folder can be imported into clip studio paint until I can fix it)

More info about the download contents below:

The first download link includes the original .Blend file with all 5 chairs, as well as individual .obj or .fbx files the chairs (All but 1 have an .obj file, as they're only meshes. The chair with the smart drive is rigged, which is why it has an .Fbx file instead so it will retain that information) as well as a "read me" file that explains in more depth what kind of disability/character/lifestyle each chair is made for (These are just what I had in mind when I designed them, they are usable by other characters who don't fit the suggestions for the most part!) I wanted to include the Read Me contents in the CSP Asset Store listing, but CS said it was too long lol.

Also, as the title says, these files are free to use! While it's not mandatory, I would appreciate credit if you use them (or even just a tag so I can see the cool art you make with them!!)

I actually made these ages ago, the original plan was to use them in a series of posts then release the pack, but I never got around to making the series and so they've just been sitting here. I took a day off from art fight attacks to clean them all up and get them ready to post. If you experience any issues, let me know and I'll try to fix it up.

I had a couple more that were supposed to be in the pack including a sports (basketball/Tennis) wheelchair and some different styles of wheelchair, but I think the files corrupted so once I fix (or remake) them, I'll probably make a second pack.

If you have any issues, please let me know!

That's how that scene went, right?

Saw a post from @venus-de-mil0-09that that said: Morpherine as that one scene from 'How to Train your dragon 2' and omg I couldn't NOT draw it.

IT FITS THEM SO PERFECTLY AAAAAAAAAHHH!

Scene in question

Have you ever died in a nightmare?

Woke up surprised you hadn't earned your fate?

"Under the lights"

What’s more wrong? That I, too, wished to be great, or my mother wished she’d had a son.
