Any religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them, is a spiritually moribund [at the point of death] religion.

hey spot, do you have any tips for drawing iterator faces- more specifically "snouted" faces (like five pebbles)?

this gotta be some kinda ploy to make me draw Pebs again augh...

not sure if i really have many tips from my actual process, i guess? i'm tryin to speed thru the process of drawin as much as i can so more nuanced things get lost in favor of a shorthand, but i suppose i can try muster some stuff up. one isn't a master of their craft if they can't explain it to a child, as they say

main idea i try to chase with Pebs (since for now he's the only Gen 3 design i have with the snout stuff) is the silhouette of the head, the boundaries? the same shape can be recycled for a different angle, though the body then has to be adjusted cuz it can look funky then

this is the quick process, at least. generally i'd slow down, polish some things, a drawing with a goal in mind usually takes a while longer because of the attempts at the best shapes n things that would communicate what i have in head, but it's also better defined because there is an actual specific idea in the head. "draw expression for sake of showing a head" vs "draw this character a little appalled with apprehensive hand against the chest and as if he can't stand something that's happening in front of him"

here's the latter idea Pebs with more time spent on him- slower brush strokes, eraser and Especially the select tool which was used specifically to move the eye n marks lower + make his head smaller. the select tool isn't cheating (since i know some throw a fuss about that), use it when something isn't entirely clickin freely

as always, when an artist's shorthand isn't working out for ya/you can't tune into the same process of slappin a vision on canvas, breaking a thing down to its basic shapes and working with those should do the trick

oh! another trick i used a few times. from the middle of the + on the base circle that helps direct the face, extend a line that would serve for some snout navigation in 3D

Prosperity Bread

note: bread in general is good as an offering and for grounding. However, you can add toppings such as sigils and herbs depending on your intent.

you'll need:

3 cups warm water

2 1/4 (1 pkg) dry yeast

1 tbsp sugar

6 cups flour

3 tsp salt

for topping:

melted butter

rosemary; blessings, positivity

basil; happiness, money

garlic; protection

shredded cheese (opt)

in a large bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar. let sit until bubbly (5 min)

add flour and salt. mix until combined into a slightly sticky dough. cover loosely with plastic wrap and a towel. let rise for 3 hours.

preheat oven to 450 degrees. melt butter and combine with other toppings (leave cheese out if using)

divide dough into 2 loaves. cover with butter mixture (sprinkle on cheese if desired) and cut X into centers of the loaves.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

use as an offering, share with friends, or enjoy as a snack :)
