Character Design References (characterdesigh) →
Character Design is using Pinterest, an online pinboard to collect and share what inspires you. While these are pretty cool, 95% of it can be achieved with just lots and lots of drawing from life and/or photos. The stuff at the link can help you figure out ways of seeing things or a few stylistic shortcuts, but it can’t replace the sheer value of drawing real stuff.

waddledoodles: the fun thing about basing characters off of music by composers who very often write upbeat, happy songs is that these characters by necessity develop backstories and nuances that completely contradict the upbeat nature of the music they’re based off of and you’re (read: i’m) left standing confused like “why did you become sad” this is especially disconcerting when the character...

Children's Shows Don't Belong to You
waddledoodles: aryashi: cornetespoire: jmandrake: We’ve all seen the theories, repeated and twisted ad nauseum to fit nearly every children’s show. Angelica dreamed up the other Rugrats. Even the humans at Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends were imaginary. The events that took place in Codename: Kids Next Door were just kids playing make believe. Phineas and Ferb exist only in Candace’s...

moniquill: eliyanii: I love this so much. And its super important, because I am guilty of this racism. All my characters I created, until I was maybe around 16 years old, were white. I’ve just turned 18. I’m of Central American descent. You’d think I’d put some characters that looked like me in my stories. Even the ones with Japanese names early on in my closet weaboo phase werent Asian. I...

webcomics are probably my favorite media
astralaves: I always get really confused when I tell people I enjoy webcomics, and they give me a negative response, like I’m into divining turds or something. They usually bring up some example of a bad webcomic, then proclaim “Webcomics suck.” It’s kind of like, “dude, are we even on the same internet?”  Well, given that the most familiar examples are things like Dominic Deegan, CAD, and...

lurkerwithout replied to your photo: More in the series “buncha weird monsterpeople… If you give the human a magic cat then its genderflipped “Adventure Time”. Still awesome looking pic there… Adventure Time seems more pastoral and less floody, tho.

Making Stories Work: warrenellis: Okay. Someone... →
warrenellis: Okay.  Someone asked me how I feel about writing fiction in a world that still needs actual activism and hands-on work to make life better.  They said something similar to, “I get pulled away from writing fiction because I feel guilty for not making tangible benefit to the world.  Isn’t fiction just escapism?” But I also got the following message, which I’m filing some of the...

timmhenson replied to your photo: solitarybird: Dreads. How in the world does one… I’m such a cheater. I do it an entirely different way. I don’t see why doing it your own way is cheating! Having many different drawing styles around is always awesome! :D I just figured, since I draw so dang much hair, I could help people who maybe aren’t sure where to start. sideburnpower...
