The strange traits of 2012 Casey Jones

He draws like Peter Laird

(Casey's notebook from the show on the left, Peter Laird on the right)

He prefers subbed anime and hates dubbed anime (Plan 10)

Made retractable skates for his sneakers, still can't pass trigonometry

Is one of few characters seen driving (does he have a license?)

Can't pass trig, but can make a taser out of a potato masher and a glove

He's left handed

Can refurbish an entire car, yet, he still can't pass trigonometry

Was canonically born in 1995, making him 17 at the start of the series

Hokey stick says Eastman and Laird, and only logical reasoning I have for that is that it's the name of his school and he's stealing equipment

His handwriting is perfect cursive, and he can't pass trig

His fighting style seems to be to build momentum by skating circles around his opponent, rather than being a tank, like most Caseys

He constantly carries around spray paint, and his clothes are covered in spray paint, but he's never seen doing graffiti

he does however tag opponents with spray paint, which is odd, considering it does very little

He also admires graffiti (the invasion)

Apparently, it looked to Raph like he was gonna kill a man the first time they met

Meaning it's implied that he would have/has killed or maimed

His reaction to a bunch of mutant turtles unmasking him was to hiss at them, like an animal

Still can't pass trigonometry

i think i might have been too friendly in my discussion board introduction, because two of my classmates have emailed me questions about finding the textbook and where i got mine.

on the plus side, i love going "hey lil guys. lemme tell you about. pirating textbooks. on libgen. :)"

mark lee has nothing on me 💪 (i rapped about taxes in front of my economics class with my friend and then made my entire class have a rap battle)

the government part was at the very start + ram was a tall guy whose hair looked like a ram (but he said his hands were too big for a guitar pick… my type😻)

[mako-island-moon-pool]

I really do deserve a fucking apology for all the times my friends and family valued strangers on the internet and their opinions more than me

How am I supposed to be just fine with being ignored for years and years or bullied for openly liking what I like, only for those same fucking people to then turn around YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE, and be like "actually this is cool, so glad I found it" while still ignoring me. Why am I not allowed to be fucking pissed about it? Why is it considered ""gatekeepy"" when I get upset someone who deliberately ignored me for years and insulted the shit I enjoy when I asked them to get into it cuz I thought they'd like it suddenly finds interest in it because it got popular online, not because I'd been begging them to give it a chance and to listen to me for years???? Why is that not allowed????? THAT'S SUCH AN ASSHOLE MOVE, WHY IS IT 'NOT OKAY' TO BE MAD? WHY DON'T THEY GROW A SPINE AND APOLOGIZE FOR DISMISSING ME FIRST? HOW ABOUT THAT?????

Who/what is your biggest inspo for poetry or art?

aagh i dont think i'll ever have one biggest inspo for poetry n art i just have a lot of lads which i like specific things about + those likes are still always ongoing and changing lol (which btw ty for askin bout poetry cause i LOVE it n i never get asked abt poetry hehe)

Art stuff... lol which medium?? /lh I really like thomas jordan's photography (the COLOURS my DUDE) mmm shelia berger's kinetic sculptures and KICKASS "Bird Show" encaustic paintings (i watched the rlly short like 5 min documentary on her and i was enraptured) Spencer finch has got a lot of cool conceptual art stuff like i think CIE 529 418 (CANDLELIGHT) is rlly cool!!

Tips for homestead living

Homesteading is a lifestyle focused on self-sufficiency and self-reliance. Some tips for living a homesteading lifestyle include:

Start small and build gradually. You can only overhaul your entire lifestyle on time. Start by growing vegetables in a small garden or keeping a few chickens for eggs.

Learn new skills. Homesteading requires a wide range of skills, from gardening and animal husbandry to carpentry and cooking. Consider taking classes or workshops to learn new skills to help you on your homestead.

Could you develop a plan? Before you start making any major changes to your lifestyle, it's essential to have a plan in place. This should include a budget, a list of goals, and a timeline for achieving them.

Be self-sufficient. Homesteading is all about being self-sufficient and relying on your own resources. This means growing your own food, generating energy, and producing your own goods and services.

I want you to please be prepared for challenges. Homesteading is not always easy, and there will be challenges. Be ready for these challenges by having a backup plan and being willing to adapt and adjust as needed.

Connect with other homesteaders. Homesteading can be a lonely lifestyle if you try to do it all on your own. Consider joining a homesteading community or association to connect with other like-minded individuals who can provide support, advice, and friendship.

[anime-of-the-day]

Anime of the day: Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life: Dai-2 no Shokugyou wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita

Alt title: My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Character Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World

Released: 2022

Yuuji worked himself to death. However, this is not the end for Yuuji, he will now be reborn into a new life. While he wants a simple life, he gets the title of Monster Tamer. This is considered the weakest of adventurers, but he takes this with stride and tames slimes. With the help of these slimes, Yuuji acquires magical powers. Even with his new found strength, Yuuji is still haunted by his past, but as he keeps competing challenging tasks, his secret abilities might be found out.

Hi! I got very curious so I wanted to ask: if you could design a unique idle animation for your OCs, what would some (or all if you’d like!) of your OCs’ idle animations be?

Ohh this is a fun one, thank you!!

Compiled some ideas for my main crew under the cut cos it got long lmao, but the gist of it is that June and Liam would have the biggest selection of idle animations, cos they're the most fidgety of the bunch who also get restless or bored fairly quickly.

Kala is at the other end of the spectrum cos she's practically been drilled to stay focused for long periods of time on the job.

The rest are in between, with all of them getting more restless the more time passes, but for slightly different reasons.

Neira Must feel Productive At All Times so she'll start doing just that.

Ari is more leisurely but will also use the opportunity to catch up on things he didn't have the time to do otherwise.

Lilian has no problem stopping for a bit but will get impatient and restless when idle for longer.

Addie would be similar, getting more animated the more time passes. 'Renan too but the signs would be much more subtle cos they're too broody trained to stay still when they have to. Noya would fall into some sort of repetitive motion to keep herself entertained while drifting off or observing

NEIRA:

short:

glances around, mildly alert (sequence of different directions/intensities at random) takes moment to relax limbs & catch breath

long:

[if self or party member injured] summons wisp & slowly heals party members quietly rehearses spells under her breath practices basic battle techniques (w/o weapon, only movements) [weapon varies; depending on party members present, will notice & give feedback (daggers/zev, bow/leli etc.)]

KALA:

short:

little movement overall small adjustments to stance subtle stretches; prevent stiffness

long:

slightly less at-the-ready stance, but still alert; repeat above cycles at less frequent intervals small repetitive motions, e.g. rolling a pebble between her fingers

LIAM:

short:

stretch back pluck at gloves or hems/sleeves scratch chin/cheek suddenly pat pockets as if checking them

long:

inspect/play with daggers play with coin (roll across knuckles, flick, almost lose, guess heads or tails w random party member [priority varric > isabela > bethany]) [if dog summoned] play with/pet skippy

LILIAN:

short:

clench & unclench fists subtle neck/shoulder stretches

long:

cross & uncross arms readjust brace/ left leg impatient foot tapping brush back hair

JUNE:

short:

check sole of boots shuffle feet rock back & forth on balls of feet pluck at collar flick off debirs/dirt from coat [temperate/humid biome] swat at insect neat face

long:

take out & mess with staff pick up & throw rock [if sera/dorian/bull present: throw at them] summon/ play with magic sparks [cold biome] snow around her melts [near red lyrium] gets visibly distressed

ARI:

short:

readjust stance and/or equipment look up to check weather/time

long:

take out compass or notebook take out water bottle or rations refasten belt or boots [hot biome, extension to drinking animation] rub water on neck and forehead [cold/muddy biome] scrape off snow/mud from boots

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.
