I’ve always found the lifecycle in aliens to be really cool, and I wish it was used in fiction more. The real life variations that plants take with their multiple adult forms should be explored more in fictional creatures. Other places to see my posts: INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / ETSY / KICKSTARTER

you ever think about how long hair is technically zuko’s default

[sesamenom-misc]

aren't you usually expected to follow/otherwise interact with somebody before you strike up random conversation?? there's a reason there's the "only from people you follow" button on message options

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

@coffee-gardens this is so helpful

oh yeah this is the blog i mentioned with the wing design info! they also have some great centaurs

Welcome!

This is my side blog for analyzing and correcting professionally designed fantasy anatomy, especially wings. My submissions and ask box are open! I can offer design advice, answer questions about specific anatomy ideas, and provide resources for you to get better at the designs or worldbuilding details you’re working on!

Edit: please keep asks to just a few mid-sized paragraphs at most, like three paragraphs. If you just want to info dump, post it to your own tumblr and I’ll reblog it if I’m tagged. New tag for future info dump reblogs will be #cool stuff.

Keeping your asks shorter makes it easier for me to answer more people, so please be courteous!

commissions are open on my ko-fi page as well.

currently in the process of archiving my blog on Medium in case of tumblr apocalypse maybe eventually occurring. (taking a break from this cuz it’s tedious. But I have at least gotten a lot of posts in the drafts over there)

This blog is not intended to make any independent artist feel bad about their style, technique, or skill level. I’m just tired of looking at professional fantasy art people get paid to make for official purposes like D&D book illustrations and seeing so many horrible anatomy choices for things that are easily fixed just by doing a little basic research on real life creatures.

I am not a paid professional, but I’ve got years of self taught art and college art classes and I have a serious passion for thoughtfully designed wings and functional fantasy anatomy.

I may occasionally post my own work in fantasy anatomy and speculative evolution.

My main blog is @miss-m-winks.

More details about the fantasy story I’m writing can be found at @memento-morianon

I tag by source and creature name as well as post theme like wing analysis or redesign process.

This blog is also (mostly) screen reader accessible! Yes, it makes all my posts a lot longer, and yes the purpose of this blog is primarily to point out flaws in visual art for the sake of other artists who may be trying to learn from my posts. But I’m going to do my best to make it accessible to everyone. **sometimes i forget or do not have the spoons to do full image descriptions, especially when reblogging other people’s posts.

I also reblog other people’s tutorials sometimes with the tag #outside resources, so check that out.

every time im shown a baby (usually a coworker's) I've learned to coo because it's the expected response but seeing a baby does nothing to my brain. that's a worm who might start screaming. but apparently everyone finds babies cute? is everyone else also pretending or am I the problem ?

I don’t even know what to say

what you learn from hobbies:

consistent practice opens up whole worlds of skill that you couldn't imagine

making mistakes in the process of learning is not only natural, it is also essential

activities that you enjoy can give you more energy back than you spent on them

wow everything is so expensive
