"If I'm Not Good" | Worlds Beyond Number Animation
SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 22 of @worldsbeyondpod's "The Wizard The Witch and the Wild One"
I noticed another parallel to the Children's Adventure in the latest WBN episode, and I decided to put far too much effort into making it everybody else's problem.
Hi, I love your art sm! I have a question about your process; how do you get references for your art? Are you at the point where u don’t need them, or do u have a go to website? Or take photos yourself?
thank you! I explained my process a bit here in this ask LINK
depending on the time and energy, i am pretty much at the point where i can figure out some poses by memory alone. but i need one first very crude sketch in order to like to have visuals about what i like to do? or how to pose the body. So:
step 1. Crude sketch
step 2. Redraw it properly
(sometimes i can right away use the sketch for coloring)
step 3. Proper line art for coloring
(examples below)
(ID in ALT text)
i don't spend much time combing through the internet till i find the one pose i would like to draw now. i just start to doodle. see something i like. and then refine it. i look up images if i have trouble with some anatomy or i need some help with colors and pattern. but its then things like... "toothy smiles" "male torso with belly fat" "guy stretching nude" "long hair in water" "human skeleton with muscle" "underwater photoshoot" check out how it more or less works and then adapt it to the drawing i am working on.
i have been drawing for over 15 years now. i have build up a bit of a visual library, and have reached the point that sometimes i see artworks and know which pinterest image was used as a reference because people stuck to only one photo of a model and basically redrew the original just with some refinement. nothing wrong with that just not something i do or at least avoid doing.
Seeing posts from folks getting genuinely angry at the intrepid heroes and Brennan (or putting full blame on the ih and acting like Brennan can’t handle a campaign) for them taking out opponents is like… like I’m not one to say “go touch some grass” but if you’re getting so angry over not just a dnd show but over the characters trying to stay alive by taking out their enemies then please go look at the fucking sky or read a fanfic or log off like wtf y’all??? I think rat grinder redemption arc would be great too but you cannot genuinely expect the bad kids to let themselves be killed by trying to non lethally attack these fucking insanely high level enemies
Cause the rat grinders aren’t gonna just be convinced to not do this, regardless of possession or not they’re pretty in with the plan and they’re also really high level like a lv9 spell?? What else would you expect the bad kids to do?? If I were in the campaign I too would be going for the kill. It’s the smart move. And also the finale is next week like if they’re gonna get to revive Lucy they’ll also more than likely revive the others they have to kill
Just log off a bit and chill the fuck out it’s just a show
y’all i work in construction and i was on a ledge 35 feet up being lazy lifting something in a, lets say non-OSHA compliant manner, and i swear right before i started pulling i heard brennan lee mulligan’s voice on the wind saying “are you weakest, do you feel, at the elbow or the shoulder?”
i stopped and went through correct safety procedure so damn quickly. thats what i call divine intervention.
summary: some cute interactions between bada and her short girlfriend, y/n. PURE FLUFF
pairing: bada lee / f!reader
a/n: oh look, another bada fic in the OCEAN of bada x readers on tumblr. enjoy!!
bada likes to think you balance each other out.
not only is there a clear height difference, but your personalities are completely opposite, with bada’s cool and collected demeanour, and you acting like a ray of sunshine.
there’s also a clear size difference— bada lee is all lean muscle, and she’s no small guy. you would be considered petite, and in many ways, much smaller than bada.
and there’s no question whether she likes to take advantage of that difference in the bedroom.
bada isn’t insufferable about the fact that she’s over a foot taller than you— in reality, she’s rather sweet about it.
it’ll show in the little things she does, just how much she loves the size difference, loves dominating over you in all the ways that count.
she’ll always be offering to help you reach things that are too high, gently wrapping an arm around your waist whilst asking if you need help. it’s rarely ever teasing or cocky, it’s just— out of love.
and you’ll almost always say yes to her offering help, looking at her with admiring puppy eyes that seem to penetrate deep into her heart.
bada’s more than happy to help you with something, she thrives when she feels needed, loves giving you what others can’t.
“here, y/n” she’ll say when giving you items from hard to reach places
“thank you, baby.” is your reply, and it takes bada a surprising amount of effort to not grin widely like a maniac.
another favourite part of your size difference is that bada often has to lean down to collect your kisses— even when you’re on your tippy toes, which she doesn’t mind in the slightest.
as she cranes her neck to meet your soft mouth, she smiles at your attempts to meet her halfway.
sometimes bada gets tired of bending down for kisses, and often picks you up into her lap instead.
Sike i got sick so i decided to finish yet another artwork with my halfbroken pen
Mr Lee and young Waai Fu as i need more art where he takes care of her as she grows up.🙏
+inspiration:
Screenshot source: anime ed of Last Exile. Ps. Please do not treat this as some recommendation. I watched it like a decade ago and remember little of it. I remember i liked it as a teen but i take 0 responsibility if you watch it and it's bad. I just like the pose.
