a society that allows people to starve when there is food has failed. like. that’s it.

So I've made a concept art checklist BC I was thinking ab it and as a neurodivergent person, I really like checklists to help me remember how to do shit properly (at least to a standard I'd be happy with from myself) so here, its a breakdown of all the things you should be thinking about when creating a character from scratch. It should also help with the stress of making things perfect on the first try as you're only sketching to begin with.

1. Use a dynamic pose to show personality

2. What specific shapes are associated with characters personality or skills? Use those to build the body

3. Final sketch of JUST THE POSE (if you want to add a little bit of toning or tatas or whatever just to distinguish, feel free but this is a sketch)

4. Yes, you can check cartoons for facial expression references. (They're more enunciated than real people so can help with distinguishing what goes where.)

5. Choose specific dominant/pronounced features (big brow, large nose, sharp cheekbones, square jaw, whatever)

6. SKETCH ONLY head shape with prominent features highlighted.

7. Ctrl+C Ctrl+V or use tracing paper as many times as needed to account for different costumes and/or expressions

8. Colour palette time!! (Use a colour wheel to get complimentary and contrasting colours, skin tone and natural hair should always be complimentary while clothes and environment can be contrasting. REMEMBER washing your page with whatever the background colour will be can help make character decisions!!)

i. Colour palette checklist:

i1. Temperature

i2. Environment

i3. Season

i4. Personality/Skills

i5. General concept theme

9. Work on JUST clothing ideas (check Google and/or Pinterest for references)

10. Stick clothes onto sketches

11. Colour everything and check the palette works

12. Draw the final detailed "perfect" sketches

13. Colour and THEN render

14. Compile all the pieces together on one page

15. Profit.

Hope this helps someone. Feel free to reblog and I hope everyone has a good, creative spring/[current season]

Another call for aid... It's all explained in the desc. But as with the last one, even if all you can do is share it, that's better than nothing so thanks in advance.

I'm really really bad with discord butttt, who's interested in a "good omens" group chat?

we would also talk about other things (maybe other fandoms) but mostly good omens. I'm not new in the fandom but I kind of missed the new theorys :(

soo, if someones interested I'll try my best to make one😊

hey, neil! my sister didnt realize that crowley and aziraphale were in love until the last episode and the scene where he confesses. then she asked me why you went "the gay route" what do i say to her? i love crowley and aziraphale a lot btw

You could perhaps suggest that she watches it all again, and it may make more sense to her.

Not my fist snakes but 3 options for texture.

So... As per my prev post, I'm doing a tattoo commission. The client wants a battle royale type of thing. Should I sneak in a GO reference? @neil-gaiman

So. BAFTAs day. Britain's biggest, most important, most esteemed awards. Right?

But the BAFTAs aren't trending on Tumblr. Weird, huh?

You know who is? David "The show isn't about me" Tennant.

You know who else? Michael "DT's husband" Sheen. Was he nominated? No. Did he present an award? No. Was he in a 5 min sketch at the beginning? Yes and he was glorious. Is he David's husband? Yes and they're very happy together.

AND THEY ARE UNSTOPPABLE.

Before long, good omens will be trending too, just you wait.

Also, Bark Ruffalo has all my love.
