hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Some cute little things I painted with gouache. A really fun tool, I'm starting to like it more than watercolor :)

I tried several brands : Himi gouache to begin (first 3 drawings, paint quality is pretty okay), but I prefer Holbein and W&N in the end (last 3). Will still use all of them, they all have pros and cons.

I’ve been feeling uninspired lately, so here’s some outfits I wore last week lol

I wanted to simplify and refine the character design for my personal story, Project MAGICK (ignore how the logo is missing the K 😅)

(Click for higher res)

Lore dump below:

The magic is called a Flicker, and each flicker is unique to the individual (based on their history, personality, or their likes/interests). When a human starts showing signs of magical potential, they must travel to the land of Tedeum (an alternate dimension where all magic comes from) in order for a flicker tattoo to show on their hand.

A person’s flicker may have 2-3 special abilities associated with their tattoo

- Malaquita: can grow wings to fly, her feathers can turn into projectiles, she can create gusts of wind that can knock a person down

- Cooper: amplify sound waves, music he produces can affect objects/environment on a small scale

- Aisha: transform self with animal-like traits, accelerate growth and manipulation to plants, create healing ointments from plants

- Sapphire: flash bombs, kinetic charge, energy transfer (cannot steal energy from others)

All magic users have the ability to transform into “combat uniforms,” and have access to a mini pocket dimension to store their weapons/essentials.

I would love to talk more about Project MAGICK, so if y’all are interested, let me know and I’ll share the google docs of everything I have written so far.
