Together, we’ve managed to raise £4032.49 through sales of THBU! All that money will be going straight to Micro Rainbow.

From Em, Dev, Kat, and Nat, we want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for raising more money than we could ever have dreamed 💜💙

My redesign hot take is that if you’re aiming to “desexualize” a female character, don’t make her boobs smaller. You’re implying a lot here.

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.

I think the best way to fight this AI shit is just to support actual creators. The cat's out of the bag with AI; our data's going to be taken and used without our consent whether we like it or not, so maybe we should put efforts into holding up those who create their own stuff. Comment/interact on people's writings and art. Make it worth them posting; make it clear that what the people are interested in isn't generated stuff, but things that people have actually done themselves. It's a drop in the ocean, but showing creators that it's them that deserve the support at least serves to cut off a tiny bit of oxygen to these AI hogs - and make a difference to creatives who are trying against hope to share with a community.

Rage. In my heart. All-consuming. FUCK AI.

hey just to clear something up: it’s okay to want notes on your fics or your art or gifsets or character analyses or whatever you’ve put your time into and shared. it’s okay to want people to acknowledge your hard work, and if you post it on this site the only way you actually know people are enjoying it is if they interact with it. that doesn’t make you greedy or whatever. you can write/draw/etc something for yourself and also be upset if doesn’t do as well as you thought it would. i see so many people say, “I know I shouldn’t care about notes…” and that’s just not fair to yourself. this is a social media site. you’re not wrong for wanting the social part of it.

I have exactly two (2) fanzines now 😎 @77yearsteam

[dance1ntherain]

Surprise! 🎉

Here’s the secret we’ve been keeping.

Mod Kat teamed up with @valc0 to create a limited run of surprise merch for 100 lucky ziners. Have you been lucky? Let us know if you find stickers in your parcel… 🧑‍🎄🎁

As well as this, ALL zines will receive a special extra sticker from Val on their packaging.

We hope you enjoy sticking your stickers everywhere and know that having new thoschei art from Val will be a lovely early Christmas present for some of you 💜💙

Just found out this week that Sacha Dhawan knows who I am, has "seen my art around a lot," and thinks I'm "a lovely lady," things he said as he picked my name and photo out of a list of contributing artists in a wonderful Doctor Who charity fanzine presented to him at a con by its editorial staff (my privilege to be involved in that ❤️).

So thanks, class dismissed, that'll be all, I can now ascend to the heavens happy, lol.

Just kidding, I will still be making art and posting it here, if I can ever surmount this pervasive creative burnout.

with spooky season approaching i would like to once again gently remind the rpc that

w*ndigo and sk*nwalkers are not generic cryptids and creatures and should not be treated as such! they are intrinsic to specific indigenous lore and should be treated with respect.

goblins and ghouls can quickly fall into antisemitic tropes so tread carefully and do your research!

a lot of stereotypical witch imagery can also fall into antisemetic tropes so once again tread carefully and do your research, ESPECIALLY if your witch character is meant to be jewish.
