Fan Joy July 2025 - Day 23

Hand Gestures by @galenfeadraws is delicious😈

Time gets captured and his captors really learn that they messed with the wrong group! I think everyone's dynamics work really well, especially Hyrule letting Wars take over the rescue mission because of his experience leading. It's just good working insight into the characters!

Such a satisfying read hehehehe

I think if post-O66 Fox woke up having time traveled to the beginning of the war, he wouldn’t make any long term plans or strategies or even take time to write down what he remembered. He’d march straight to the Chancellor’s office and shoot him because he’s not fucking doing this shit again.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)

Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)

BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)

Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)

Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)

Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)

Pikat (art advice and critiques)

Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)

Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)

Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)

Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)

IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)

Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)

NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Wooley, holding out a hat he knitted: General, I made this hat for you, will you wear it?

Obi-Wan, tearing up and pulling it on: of course my dear!

Crys, into his bucket comms in the background: we are a go folks

(later)

Cody, walking into the General's office with his hands hidden behind his back: sir, I made something for you

Obi-Wan, still wearing Wooley's hat: oh my!

Cody: but you have to promise to wear it

Obi-Wan: I promise my dear, now, what is it you've made me?

Cody: *slams a neatly painted 'trooper helmet down onto the desk* *whistles for Waxer and Boil to wheel in the stand with the full set of armor from where they were positioned out in the hall*

Sometimes I’m tired of being nice. One day your femur will be mine

[spookypanda04]

[spookypanda04]

having some thoughts about the fact that obi-wan is just as violent, intense, dangerous and insane as say,,, anakin, or quinlan, or any other unhinged jedi - but he chooses to not act with aggression first, he tries option a, b, c and d before that, which is why he is the better jedi, and the more threatening jedi. there are so many examples of obi-wan being scary and menacing, the difference is he hides it better.

he chooses restraint in his life, but-----

he cut down maul at 25

he destroyed grievous without flinching and made a snide little remark after, smirking

he left anakin to burn, slowly and painfully in the lava

from wildspace: "Kenobi had made of himself a deliberate target... No fear. No doubt. Instead, a supreme confidence. Curving his lips, the merest hint of a smile... Dazed, Bail shook his head. 'He's enjoying this. He's enjoying this? He really is mad.' Kenobi's lips parted in a fierce grin and he focused his deflections on the weaker machine." smiling mid-battle?! normal behaviour, im sure.

from wildspace again: "No. He'd always needed to be doing something. Making things happen. Seizing the moment by the throat." THROAT!? OBI-WAN there are many other ways that could have been explained.

from wildspace again again: “... I tumbled into a firebeetle pit.” The faintest of wry smiles. He had himself well in hand again. "It must have been … terrible.” “Not at all,” Kenobi said politely. “It was hilarious.” No, you nearly got eaten alive. But he didn’t say it. He wished now he’d kept his mouth shut. No wonder Kenobi had come out of his trance screaming. “Fortunately there was no harm done,” Kenobi continued briskly.”

his ability to completely disconnect, there is some benefit in being able to compartmentalise, but there are many times when he just comes across as completely cold, eg, clone wars gambit: stealth, the constant frustration and dismissal of anakin's slave-history influencing his choices and feelings about situations, and his annoyance at qui-gon for choosing a child with a traumatic history for him to train. there comes a time where compartmentalisation becomes detachment, that is probably the line obi-wan.

the way he can step back to see the bigger picture is a terrifying ability, it takes a strong amount of emotional control and disconnect to be able to dismiss suffering in front of you to analyse a larger scenario.

he is known as the negotiator, because of his ability to manipulate and deceive to obtain the goals he wants, yes he can be diplomatic when he needs to be, or desires to be, but ultimately, he knows how to use his words and his deceptively harmless demeanor to get exactly what he wants.

what about the quote from the empire strikes back: "Yoda: Much anger in him, like his father. Obi-Wan Kenobi: Was I any different when you taught me?" hello?! we know obi-wan was a nightmare as a padawan, do we really think he just 'got better'? no, he got better at hiding it. he chooses restraint every time because the alternative is too terrifying to unleash. he knows what he’s capable of, he’s seen it. qui-gon saw it. qui-gon knew obi-wan was capable of taking on someone as dangerous and powerful as anakin, because he knew obi-wan could be just as powerful and dangerous, and he was right.

he is a flirt, he is a tease, he knows he is gorgeous, he knows he has an allure about him, and he USES IT, he exploits it, it manipulates people with it, he plays and toys with people, not because he is being malicious or salacious, but because he has these gifts, so why not use them when the time calls for it?

in the obi-wan tv, the fact that even after 10 years of disconnecting himself from the force, and no longer practicing with his lightsaber, his raw abilities and power were able to outmatch vader, who had been both practicing his skills and had tapped into the ferocity of the dark side - OP as hell. and that is the point, he IS OP AS HELL, but he exercises a significant amount of restraint and compassion.

he’s the Jedi who can smile while ordering a battalion to hold the line, he’ll bow respectfully to an enemy before slicing them in half. he’ll soothe you with gentle words, only to manipulate your choices in ways you won’t realize until it’s too late. obi-wan is a weapon wearing the mask of a peacekeeper.

he chooses peace first. he chooses compassion first. but he can go further than anyone else when he’s forced to. obi-wan can kill you and mourn you at the same time. thats what makes him so dangerous. because unlike anakin, he won’t break when he does the unthinkable. he’ll live with it. he’ll ache and grieve and still do it again tomorrow, because it’s what the republic needs. that is his duty. because it’s what the jedi ask. and that is why he represents the perfect jedi, because he will always prioritise these things first, he makes the conscious - and harder - choice to embody the jedi teachings, even when it would be easier to throw them out the window.

[spookypanda04]

Cody: *looking at the flickering lights in the room* well. Rooms haunted again. Where’s it at, Obi-Wan?

Obi-Wan: *looks at an empty corner with predator-big eyes and annoyance*

Cody: Ahh. Hate that. Alright, you keep an eye on that, I’ll call the exorcist.

Question. Is it legal to have a weed plant in WV? Like not even to smoke or anything, but like a succulent?

[spookypanda04]

I'm 90 percent sure that I'm going to miss my tomato plants more than my family when I leave for college in a week. Like those are my babies sir. I grew those. And yeah, the seasonal depression is gonna hit way worse when they inevitably die this winter. Cause I planted those. I tilled the soil by hand. Weeded every bit on my hands and knees. My one bucket baby nearly died twice due to rain and over watering, but I dug a two foot hole in the flower bed and managed to save him and he's got two whole blooms and a baby tomato. And guess what? He's an heirloom, meaning that when I get to pick my first tomato from him, I can germinate the seeds and have a bunch more next year. Sadly my little cherry tomatoes aren't heirlooms, so this is their last year. But I love them all the more because they're doing so well! Like I've got at least 20 green tomatoes and three dozen blooms still and they're growing so much! I had to retie them just last week because they had grown two foot since I staked them originally in early July! And I leave next week, meaning they're unsupervised, and I hope that I can actually get to enjoy their tomatoes at some point this fall, but it's an hour and a half home, which isn't bad, but still. Taking that kind of time over a weekend is difficult as a nursing student. Maybe I can do every two weeks and convince my parents to alternate and run them up. LMK if anybody wants pictures of the babies btw. I've got lots.

[spookypanda04]

Cody, exhausted: Sir, the men have decided on something. Something important.

Obi-wan, half dead from months without a break and on the verge of tears: Is it a mutiny Cody? Please tell me the men have decided to mutiny and whisk us away to an isolated planet somewhere.

Cody, who was going to tell him the men finally all agreed on what movie to watch, quickly texting the rest of the 212th to start picking out a planet: Yes sir. It's definitely a mutiny. I'm afraid that you'll have to be confined to your bunk.

Obi-wan, already dragging himself that way, deadpan: Oh the betrayal.

before the door of hell lamps burned chpt 10

T, Harry & Sirius; Harry & Hermione & Ron. AU GoF. 

Harry looked around the headmaster’s office curiously when he reached the top of the stairs. It seemed to be the same as always, crowded with silver instruments and odd objects. Fawkes shifted on his perch, watching Harry, who smiled involuntarily. However upset he might be with the headmaster, it was difficult to feel that way about his phoenix. “Good evening, Harry,” Dumbledore said, from behind his desk. Harry looked at him. “Hello, Professor,” he said, uncertainly, and proceeded to the chair set in front of it.

enjoy my little babyyyy fox

the aurebesh is the same as the words “resistance is futile/ necessary”

the idea for this came from me looking up mandalorian armor color meanings and realizing that scarlet symbolizes resistance. and that lead to me imagining a freshly off kamino fox painting his armor the color of the republic. as he grows and is exposed to all the horrors he keeps the red, not because of the republic, but as a silent ‘fuck u’ to the system hes trapped in.
