Resources for Creating: My Go-To things.

Update: I’ll be updating the list on this page from now on, since Tumblr can’t handle so many hyper-links in one post, on Dreamwidth - right here, so I won't have to update it multiple times. Please note: I keep updating this list, and updates aren't showing up on reblogs. Please check the original post for the most up to date list.

Sooo this is going to be a long comprehensive list. I got back to this game after a long time and with a different computer, with a dedicated graphics card, hurray! It made me want to return to making things, so while gathering back all the necessary stuff, I've complied this list. It might be is updated as I go along, but these are the main things I use. Maby one day i'll even finish something. So here are my go-to resources & tutorials; I'm posting it here for safekeeping, and hopefully others will find it helpful. Everything that's listed is here free. So many wonderful things for free under the cut.

Programs – General:

Creating: Blender. Blender Addons: 3D Print Toolbox – comes with blender, enable it from within the program. Originally for 3d printing.

May I ask the software you use to write?

Congratulations on getting so much done!

Thank you so much. And, of course.

I use the Reedsy Book Editor for all of my writing projects, and I've been using it for about three years now. I also have experience with other amazing softwares, and I would love to create more tutorials on them if you need me to.

Here's a quick tutorial on how to use the Reedsy Book Editor.

When you visit the website, the first thing you'll come across is this page. It's a completely free writing tool with a fantastic interface. All you need to do is sign up with your Google or Facebook account.

After you've completed the sign-up process and provided some information about yourself, you will be directed to this page. Please locate the "Books" option in the website's header.

Feel free to give your book/WIP (Work in progress) a title. Remember, it's okay if it's not your final title, as you can always change it in the settings of your book later.

Once you've created it, you can take your time and when you're ready, you can click "Write.”

Once you click "Write," you'll be directed to the next page. There, you'll find your chapters, the space to write your manuscript, and a sidebar with various helpful features provided by Reedsy.

Then, you can choose any name for your chapter that feels meaningful to you.

You can also track your writing goals for your specific manuscript or book. This feature provides insights into your writing habits, such as the days you've written and the number of words you've written. You can also set a target word count goal for the manuscript, and you also have the option to set manual writing goals. Additionally, you can check the word count in your current chapter from the bottom of the widget.

You have the option to set a deadline and choose the days that work best for you to write. This will help Reedsy estimate a realistic word count goal for you.

Remember that on Reedsy, there's a new beta feature that allows you to plan and outline your novel without having to leave the website. It offers note cards for you to jot down the plot and scenes from your novel, which can serve as a helpful guide and provide a simple outline to support your writing process.

Also, don’t forget the various features available to you when creating your book in Reedsy. For instance, you have the option to include preset formatted pages such as a dedication page and an epigraph that resonates with your story. These features can add a lot of value to your book, and I encourage you to explore them further.

Hopefully this can help you understand the basics of Reedsy Book Editor. One of my favorite writing softwares that is completely FREE!

Hey fellow writers! I'm super excited to share that I've launched a Tumblr community. I'm inviting all of you to join my community. All you have to do is fill out this Google form, and I'll personally send you an invitation to join the Write Right Society on Tumblr! Can't wait to see your posts!

[the-timewatcher]

A disgruntled Tumblrina (gender-neutral) made a website and why you should too.

Or "reject social media, return to personal websites".

PART 1: THE PART WHERE I CONVINCE YOU TO MOVE TO PERSONAL WEBSITES

So, the Web 2.0 social media infested landscape seems to be crumbling before our very eyes. Reddit's leadership is increasingly greedy, Twitter is sinking under the weight of Elon's massive, yet increasingly fragile ego, Tumblr is slowly turning into another lifeless corpo-fest, complete with the layout, Instagram continues to be vapid and soulless and Facebook seems to be going the way of MySpace.

(feel free to check the alt text on these, btw)

In these troubling times, where everything looks the same and you're expected to be milked for every dollar you're worth, what is a disgruntled Internet surfer such as yourself to do? Move to an untested alternative that's bound to get overrun by fascists thanks to poor moderation? Stay the course on the sinking ships you're used to?

Well, what if I told you that we've solved this problem way back in the 90's and early 2000's and were merely duped by the Big Zuck into forgetting our legacy? What if there was a cure for the sanitized, dull social media hellscape?

It takes a bit of work, when compared to just using a social media site, but even if your particular use case makes switching difficult (ex. an artist looking to promote their work), it's still a good secondary option to consider.

The core appeal is the ability to customize and individualize, make a corner of cyberspace unabashedly yours,

It can also be an exciting avenue of creative expression, giving whatever you want to say a unique coat of paint,

Most website hosting services are a bit more lax about what you can do on them, due to changes in the profit structure (rather than depending on advertisers and investors, they either have a premium option to give supporters perks, have another product, or, in the case of paid services, you renting that space IS the product),

If you want your website to be more accomodating and accessible, you don't have to file tons of feedback - do it yourself,

If you'd like to connect with other webmasters and promote each other's websites, we have webrings - sets of circular links that connect websites with something in common, be it a topic, aesthetic or friend group,

You're less likely to have your stuff purged by an ill-advised change in policy (especially if you have a backup of your files somewhere),

The more people do it, the less power those massive social media corpos have over the internet,

It can be a load of fun!

If I have you convinced, keep reading into part 2. If you just wanna see what I did, skip to part 3. If neither, feel free to continue scrolling. I won't hold it against you. You'll be missing out, that's all.

PART 2: SO, YOU WANNA MAKE A WEBSITE!

Good choice, here's some resources!

sadgrl's absolute beginner's guide to Neocities - what it says on the tin!

W3Schools - a more in-depth tutorial site, a learning resource so excellent it substituted for what I was supposed to learn in technical highschool (because our teacher just told us to go on W3Schools instead of teaching us shit)

A list of free layouts for your website - whether to use as a base to learn from or to simply take for yourself,

Neocities - the posterchild for free website hosting for personal websites. Doesn't allow video or audio, but you can get around that by linking those files from elsewhere. Beginner-friendly to a fault - once you have an account just drag and drop your files in,

Gitlab (& Gitlab Pages) - a more advanced option, but it has a few advantages of its own. Gitlab is a website hoster second and a version control service first - which is programmer speak for "keeps track of changes in your code and stores a backup of it online". it helps a lot when working on multiple devices or co-writing with a friend. And secondly, you can use Gitlab Actions to automate putting your website up (even on Neocities, like I do!)

My askbox - I am not joking, if you have any questions about any of this, I'd love nothing more than to help you out!

But with most of my indie web propaganda out of the way, it's time.

PART 3: Welcome to Timewatcher OS.

Of course, because I couldn't be normal when it comes to making a website, I had to turn it into a fake operating system. Each subpage is an "app", opened in a separate embed window. It has unlockable wallpapers (no pay2win, prommy). There's bideo games on it! I even made a music player for it so I can share my incongruent music tastes!

Like I said in my Tumblr bio, if I ever go radio silent for more than a month, it means I've gotten fed up with this hellsite and moved to my own homepage permamently. And I highly advise you make an option like this for yourself too! Lastly, if any of y'all would like to start a webring, do let me know in the askbox - I'm down to manage it if I'm not alone in there.

Anyways, I hope I convinced you to make a website, or at least check out some of the cool sites you've been missing out on! Hope to see you on the Old Web!

New Tolkien cosplay/shoot alert ✨🌳🏰🌊! I've wanted to do a closet cosplay of a Númenórean OC since S1 of Rings of Power, so here it is at last, from August 2024, the first set of pics of my Mediterranean astrophysicist self as an Armenelos court astronomer (meneldilmë)/erudite OC 😄🔭⌛🌌🪐. Here featuring an hourglass (Númenóreans are also pretty stressed about time as a concept, aren't they😅), alongside sextants and planispheres and books and things 📚📜 Dress and belt are from Armstreet's Princess in Exile collection (not sponsored, i wish xD). The decoration gives me both Númenórean and Noldorin aesthetic vibes ✨💜.

The hairstyle is inspired by Eärien's main look in S1 of RoP. I interpreted it as two 3-strand side braids with purple parandas, tied at the back of the head with an elastic and then forming a half-up braided bun. When wrapping the braids around the elastic, I started wrapping both braids twice or thrice, then added a hairstick to fix them, and the rest of each braid is twisted around the hairstick more loosely, letting one of them hang a bit below the bun, similarly to how Eärien wears them. Finally, I used this blue beaded necklace as decoration, tying the strings around and behind the braided bun.

✨Hairstyle tutorial also on my hair Blogger!

Everyday I see looms for sale on facebook marketplace and everyday I yearn so so deeply, but I have no weaving experience beyond some very basic tablet bracelet kids stuff. Is there a good "beginners" loom that I might look out for if one pops up in my area?

a rigid heddle loom is a wonderful introduction to weaving that will allow you to get familiar with the basics of setting up a loom, woven structure, finishing, etc. while being more affordable than a multishaft table or floor loom as well as involving less moving parts. it depends on where you live, but generally the most common rigid heddle loom you'll find on secondhand sites is by ashford, a company from nz/aotearoa. any manufacturer is fine, just make sure the listing comes with all parts, ie. the heddle, warping peg, shuttles, etc. there are tons of free resources online from the manufacturers sites as well as youtube tutorials and books that can teach you every step of the process of using a rigid heddle loom

[rhiannonsknife]

hai!! this might be a silly question but how do you make the pics in your posts be like small and centered girl!

(for example like in this one: https://www.tumblr.com/rhiannonsknife/782341905754292224/wait-i-need-you-to-elaborate-on-that-drunk-reader?source=share)

okay tutorial time!! i screenshotted the steps below, i hope it’ll make sense! :)

— apps needed: pinterest & picsart

↑

step one is obviously selecting a picture! i usually download mine from pinterest and crop them if they’re not already in a square format. you can also add filters or adjust quality settings if you want!

↑

then scroll through the options below until you find “fit”

↑

these should be your options now. i start by selecting the ratio. i usually use the “facebook cover” option, but you can go with whatever works best for you!

↑

once that’s done, click the “color” button (bottom left, next to ratio!). this step is the most important one!

↑

after that, just select the option i picked (circled in pink), and that’s it! now download your header and add it to your post :)

[tazahan]

do you a have any line art tips?

For me personally, make sure to practice your hand to be more comfortable first. Practicing making doodles that do not need to be neatly shaped objects, sketching something messy, like a swirl. To make sure your wrist is less hurt and you can move freely. Then look for a brush that is comfortable for you to use or you could set it by yourself. In my case, I always searching brushes that are pointy but also a bit transparent in volume. The stabilizer is also important to me to make your lining clean and neat. Make sure to watch tutorials on YouTube or Facebook. Looking for favorite artists that could suit you and inspire you and learn their style. But you also need to find your own style. Artists who have amazing art styles focus on the line art. For example, Bruno Redondo, Artgerm, Edwin Galmon, Ilya Kuvsinov, and Dan Mora

How would you suggest a new beginner to acting start?

This going to be a long post

The biggest advice I can give is to start, and don't give up if this is what you decide you really want.

To get started:

1. Do school/community theatre shows. This gained me so much knowledge and skills I didn’t have before, which lead to theatre school which then lead to professional shows.

1.b Student films and background work are also another great way of getting some experience.

2. Audition, audition, audition!!! This is so crucial.

Many times, you will be rejected for a project, and 99.9% of the time, it has nothing to do with your talent; it has everything to do with the fact that they can't fit you with casting because, for example:

a. they've already casted who they want opposite to you and the height difference doesn't work or a set peice is too tall, short etc.

b. It could be that you weren't the right fit for that project, but in the future, they'll keep you in mind for other shows and roles.

c. literally anything under the sun that has nothing to do with what you can do.

I believe this to be true; whether you're 1 - 100 years old, there is a role for you out there, it's just a matter of what they see works with what their vision is that they already have.

Tip: Join Facebook groups for auditions in the area, and look on any local casting sites. if you do a quick Google search or ask someone you've made friends with in your area who does auditions, see how they find them.

3. Don't spend money to audition, headshots or any of that yet. make sure you love this first, to the degree of a hobby -> professional or anywhere inbetween. take a test drive first.

4. Network, network, network!!!

Talk to people in the industry, learn from them, and most importantly, let them know the autehntic you.

Something I learnt in school was to not be afraid to ask or put yourself out there in a nice, non-spamming way. Send an email to the artistic director of a theatre company. Take that workshop with an industry professional and talk to them about something. Find a connection example: oh, you did The Glass Menagire? I got to be in that in high school, or I got to see your show, etc.

BE HONEST.

DON'T LIE on your resumé, or if you've seen a show, it will only hinder you in them wanting to work with you rather than open the door. You don't have to be impressive or impress them to start a working relationship with them. Just be yourself and show interest at minimum in who they are as a human. Most local artists and higher-ups just want to feel human, too.

You should never have to pay to audition or have an agent upfront.

you might have to for a student film buy somthing such as gas ot get there, or an outfit, but never to the people running it for anything weird.

Trust your gut; if it feels weird, don't do it.

Also don't spend money for character shoes, headshots or any of that yet. make sure you love this first, to the degree of a hobby -> professional or anywhere inbetween. take a test drive first. List below the things you need.

Things you need:

Resumé -> you need one for sure, even if it has minimal things on it. Just use Google Docs etc.

Headshot -> you can totally take one on your phone, Depending on camera quality, invest only in some if you're serious about this. this can range in price from $150-$500 dependsing on who, and how many edits. (I'd ask around your area of their experience/reviews of people)

Audition material -> for this I use alot of tools such as this backstage monolouge finder you can filter for to find age range and context a lot.

My best advice is to read plays, as many of them as you can, and find stuff that resonates with you. go to your local library if you can't afford to buy the play or even use internet archive. I even watch slime tutorials (bootlegs) or people doing monologues on YouTube to help find stuff.

Optional things to consider:

School/ training -> Something that helped me in the long run was post-secondary education for acting/theatre. It's super expensive but very worth it, in my opinion. It's not for everyone, and you can learn a lot from experience, but in the long run, I'd consider it. I specifically took Sanford Mesiner's acting in school, and I am going to take Lee Strasberg's Method soon to add to my training. traning is like tools in the tool belt, if it helps, great, if it doesn't don't use it.

Workshops/courses -> these are more short-term training, but can help alot. I took a voice acting workshop, and it helped so much. Workshops tend to be like 1-3 sessions over a period of time, and courses tend to be like one class once a week for 6 weeks.

Agent/manager -> you absolutely do not need one to begin with, or at all. however espically in film and Tv, it's easier to have an in this way.

Headshot makeup ideas (if female identifying/presenting ) you can do normal makeup just slightly more enhanced but this helps give a guideline

Remember, they want to see you succeed. They want your authenticity. Don't give up even when it's tough, and just start now.

Ren Faire progress is slow but steady as I stumbled through a bunch of failures before biting the bullet and deciding to tackle the very intimidating process of drafting and making my own bodice.

I had initially planned on using a pattern, but I didn't anticipate the fact that my pattern is old (as in no longer in print) and the sizing is way off. I would need to go up six sizes, and that would require an entirely different pattern.

This was pretty discouraging, but I ended up trying to draft my own pattern from a bodice I already own. It didn't go well, to say the least.

A few hours of frustrated sobbing later, I reached out to the Sewing for Ren Faires group I'm in on Facebook, and was pointed to some tutorials. One suggested covering an existing bodice with fabric, and I tried that too... but modern corset tops have a vastly different silhouette than the Tudor gown ~*vibes*~ I'm going for.

I was once again very discouraged.

Then someone pointed me to this website that allows you to input your measurements and tells you step-by-step how to draft your own bodice/corset pattern. I got some butcher paper, some duck canvas, and some Featherlite Boning in casing channels (so that I don't have to try to make/sew them myself), and set to work.

I made a basic mockup with scrap fabric to make sure I had the measurements right, and I could already tell it was miles ahead of what I'd tried to do before.

I laid out the three layers of my chosen fabric, traced out the pattern, cut them, pinned them, marked out where my boning would go, and started stitching it in.

The progress below doesn't look like much, but I am very pleased with it. I've actually sewn in three of the strips of boning, but since I'm doing everything by hand it's slow going. I'm actually starting to have hope that I may be able to finish this outfit by the end of May when I have my first Ren Faire of the season. Fingers crossed, and please send a prayer to the costume gods!

In today's digital world, the art of photography has become more accessible than ever. You no longer need a formal education or expensive camera equipment to create stunning images. With advancements in smartphone technology, your phone can be a powerful tool for capturing professional-quality photos. Here’s everything you need to know to excel in phone photography without a formal education.

Understanding Your Phone’s Camera

Before diving into photography, it’s essential to understand the capabilities of your phone’s camera. Modern smartphones are equipped with high-resolution sensors, multiple lenses, and advanced image processing software. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the various settings and features available on your phone's camera, including HDR, portrait mode, night mode, and manual controls for ISO, shutter speed, and white balance. For more detailed insights, consider exploring resources like Yvette Heiser Texas – All You Need to Know about Phone Photography.

Mastering the Basics of Photography

Even without formal education, you can learn the fundamental principles of photography. Start with the basics:

Composition: The rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing are essential techniques that can help you create balanced and visually appealing photos.

Lighting: Excellent lighting is essential for taking outstanding photos. Natural light is your greatest ally, so it's important to learn how to use it effectively. Understand the differences between soft and hard lighting and how to leverage shadows and highlights to enhance your images.

Focus and Exposure: Ensure your subject is in sharp focus. Most smartphones allow you to tap the screen to set the focus point. Adjusting exposure can help you manage the brightness and contrast of your photos.

Leveraging Photography Apps

One of the advantages of phone photography is the plethora of apps available to enhance your images. Here are a few must-have apps:

Editing Apps: Tools like Adobe Lightroom, Snapseed, and VSCO provide robust features for tweaking exposure, contrast, saturation, and other elements. They also come with presets and filters that can add unique and creative touches to your photos.

Camera Apps: Apps like ProCamera and Camera+ offer advanced manual controls, allowing you to fine-tune settings like ISO, shutter speed, and white balance.

Special Effects: Apps such as Lens Distortions and Afterlight can add unique effects and overlays to your photos, helping them stand out.

Building a Strong Portfolio

Your portfolio is your introduction in the photography world. Create a diverse collection of your best work to showcase your skills and style. Include different subjects such as landscapes, portraits, and macro shots. Regularly refresh your portfolio with updated and enhanced photographs. Sharing your portfolio on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest can help you reach a wider audience and attract potential clients.

 Networking and Marketing

Building a successful photography career requires more than just taking great photos. Networking and marketing are essential components:

Networking: Join online photography communities, attend local meetups, and participate in photography challenges. Networking with other photographers can lead to collaborations, referrals, and learning opportunities.

Social Media Marketing: Use social media to market your photography services. Regularly post your work, engage with your audience, and share behind-the-scenes content. Consider creating a website to establish an online presence and make it easy for clients to find and contact you.

 Continuous Learning and Experimentation

Photography is an ever-evolving field, and staying updated with the latest trends and techniques is crucial. Follow industry leaders, read photography blogs, and watch tutorial videos. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new styles and subjects. Continuous learning and experimentation will help you grow as a photographer and keep your work fresh and innovative.

Conclusion

Excelling in phone photography without formal education is entirely achievable with dedication and practice. By understanding your phone’s camera, mastering photography basics, leveraging apps, building a strong portfolio, networking, and continuously learning, you can create stunning images and establish a successful photography career.
