These two had no idea weād be memeing the shit out of this 30 years later.
(the original post https://defkisshalen.tumblr.com/post/665247769146048512 )Ā wish I could embed posts on tumblr, ya know?
There are accounts on social media with names like ābruce kulickās waterā or some variation of it with evian bottles as icons. People also post evian sightings in the wild xD With the mandatory caption āitās Bruce Kulickās water!ā
Eric and Bruce had *no* idea they made a meme in 1990.
I don't post him enough and I really should. I'm always complaining that the media doesn't give him enough attention, yet I haven't posted much of him either. So I'm going to change that.
His sweet little smile. You can't tell me that smile doesn't at least make you want to smile even a little bit. Look at him. So sweet and wholesome.
Look at him go. He was always....ALWAYS fully committed to what he did with and for KISS. He put his everything into his drumming and I love that about him.
If you haven't watched the KISS takeover in Australia, you should. The outtakes are priceless. It always leaves me cackling.
I just love him and his quirkiness. I bet he was loads of fun to he around. The corny jokes and laughter
I mean.....just look how photogenic he is!!! He is definitely the best fox out there š§”š§”š§”
Look. At. That. Smile. Need I say more??? His smile.....š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
I just really like this pic of Eric. He's so proud and just....look at da fox baby!!!!
Itās crazy to think itās been that long since youāve been gone. Your talents continue to inspire and bring people happiness and joy, even after all this time.
I know I say this every year, but we love you Eric, and weāre never going to forget you š§”š§”
Sign me in. Also normalize walking in biker leather gear, boots, gloves, sliders etc. š
I donāt understand why people donāt wear motorcycle helmets. Genuinely.
Bicycle helmets? I understand why you wouldnāt wear one. Itās incredibly important to wear one, of course, butā¦
ā¦I wonāt blame anybody for not wearing one, though. I mean, look at it. It looks dorky as hell. I would also like to minimize my time wearing one.
But motorcycle helmets? MOTORCYCLE HELMETS?
Literally the coolest fucking accessory a human being can wear???
They make you look wicked. Kick-ass. Like a laser-shooting robot from the year 3000. It replaces your ugly mug with the sexiest face known to man: the tinted plastic visor.
I would wear one OFF the motorcycle. I would pay ACTUAL MONEY to have my head permanently transmogrified into a motorcycle helmet.
how on GODāS GREEN EARTH can you participate in an activity where it is both socially acceptable and highly recommended to wear some SICK FUCKING SHIT and make the conscious decision to say ānah Iāll passā??????
For anyone who wants a free pose-able human reference for drawing
The other day I came across this awesome program by accident (I donāt even remember what I was actually searching for, but on the several times Iāve looked for a program like this Iāve had no luck). Itās cool enough that I wanted to share it.
Itās called DesignDoll (website here) and itās a program that lets you shape and pose a human figure pretty much however you want.
Thereās a trial version with no expiration date that can be downloaded for free, as well as the āpro licenseā version priced at $79. Iāve only had the free version for two days so far, so Iām not an expert and I havenāt figured out all of the features yet, but Iāve got the basics down. The websiteās tutorials are actually pretty helpful for the basics, as well.Ā
Hereās the page for download, which has a list of the features available in both versions.
There are three features the free version doesnāt have:
Canāt save OBJ files for export
Canāt download models and poses from Doll Atelier (a sharing site for users; note that the site is in Japanese, though)
It canāt load saved files
The third one means that if you make a pose, save it, and close the program, you canāt load that pose/modified model later. You have to start with the default model. I found that out when I tried to load a file from the day before (this is why reading is importantā¦). Whether saving your modifications (and downloading models and poses) is worth $80 is up to you.Ā
But, the default model is pretty nice and honestly if all youāre looking for is a basic pose reference it should work fairly well as it is.Ā Hereās what it looks like:
Thereās a pose tag that lets you drag each joint into place and rotate body parts. The torso and waist can be twisted separately, and it seems like everything pretty much follows the range of movement it would have on an actual human.
Even the entire shoulder area is actually movable along with the joint! See, like how the scapular area of the back raises with the arm:
The morphing tag is one of the coolest features, in my opinion. It lets you pick and choose from a library of pre-set forms for the head, chest, arms, legs, etc. It has some more realistic body shapes in addition to more anime-like ones. Donāt like the options there? Mix a few to get what you want! Each option has a slider that lets you blend as much or as little as you want into the design.Ā
So you, too, can create beautiful things like kawaii Muscle-chan!!
The scale tag lets you mess with the proportions and connection points of different joints. This feature combined with the morphing feature not only allows more body shape variations, but it also means that you can do things like make a more digitigrade model if you want. (The feet only have an ankle joint, but for regular human poses thatās all that you really need, so whatever.)
Or you can make a weird chubby alien-like thing with giant hands and balloon tiddies if thatās more your thing.
The ability to pose hands to the extent it allows is far more than I could have hoped for from a free program. Seriously, you can change the position of each finger joint individually, as well as how spread out the fingers are from each other. Each crease on the diagram below is a point of movement, and the circles are for spread between fingers.Ā
And to make it a bit more convenient, thereās a library of pre-set hand poses you can pick from as well, and then change the pose from that if you like.Ā
In both versions, you can also import OBJ files from other places for the model to hold, like if you wanted to have them hold a sword or something.
Basically, this program is awesome and free and you should totally check it out if you want a good program for creating pose references.
The ONLY WAY to combat the lack of funding in arts education is for professionals to take a few hours a week to share their skills for FREE, to empower and encourage the next generation of artists. THIS IS WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR. Hereās 200 tutorials:
