u guys,,,,,, actually want to fuck monsters? like literally actually for real??? u see a huge terrifying monster and think big sexy??? u wanna scary ass bloodthirsty beast to fuck u??? a mothman???? a wearwoof??? VENOM????????????? these arent just memes??? not just jokes??????? u guys arent joking?????????
Vegans springing from the earth: oh so omnivory IS cruelty free huh? You think vegans are subhuman??? You want us all to die???? Carnists are superior? IS THAT WHAT YOU’RE SAYING???
God this. So sick of seeing posts that make the good point that vegans diets aren’t cruelty free (despite them claiming constantly they are) only to have a hoard of v*gans start saying “well non-v*gans eat those foods too! So it’s no just us!!” Like they think they’re hitting back when they’ve missed the entire point which is no ones diet is “cruelty free” because of the capitalistic society we live in.
Ok but at least vegans reduce their cruelty compared to meat eaters? I don’t get why it would bug you for someone to want to end animal suffering and make the world a better place..
Nope they literally do not and the fact you think they do means you lack a basic understanding in how a capitalistic society works and how animal welfare works.
The real people making a difference in animal cruelty are the people working to improve animal welfare that are majority made up of vets, zookeepers, scientists, ag workers / farmers and so on. All the animal welfare regulations and acts that are enforced now have been so by the hard work of people involved in animal welfare work. The most vegan ARAs have done is tell lies and twist fact, do nothing and the act like they’re morally superior for doing. That’s why it “bugs” me.
Nothing annoys me more then having some smug vegan that does nothing more for animal welfare then avoiding buying animal products (majority of which actually go on to do things that actively harm animals) tell me, a zoologist with a degree in conservation working with honeybees and has experience in animal ag, blatant lies about animal ag industries and how they do more for animal ag.
it’s fact that veganism does nothing in reducing the use of animal products and it’s just a massively group of people collectively having a self-wank over “helping animals” while they do literally nothing to help animals.
I have some hours before work so I’ll use them to actually detail why I’ve found CSPaint to be so efficient for bastard-aligned painters who like to take shortcuts.
This will seem familiar to most of you guys, but this functions a little bit different from Photoshop. It turns everything you draw on the layer into editable curves, but retains the aliased smoothness of an ordinary raster layer. Practically a cheat to access the whole suite of amazing tools CS offers for lineart. Such as:
The vector eraser is The Best™. You can be as messy as possible and this tool erases the excess. One pen-flick and it’s done. Much faster than cleaning it up by hand. You can also tweak the settings of this brush to encapsulate more/less lines as you erase but that’s getting a little more involved. Anyway, last thing:
Maybe the only thing better than the vector eraser. There are multiple settings, but these three are the most handy. You can smooth wiggly edges, connect broken strokes, and tweak the width/weight to exactly how you want it. This also has a ton of settings you can play around with. It’s great!
There’s a lot more tools you can use, but you get the point! It’s a really good drawing program. I recommend it!
yo here’s a useful tip from your fellow art ho cynellis… use google sketchup to create a model of the room/building/town you’re trying to draw… then take a screenshot & use it as a reference! It’s simple & fun!
Sketchup is incredibly helpful. I can’t recommend it enough.
There’s a 3D model warehouse where you can download all kinds of stuff so you don’t have to build everything from scratch.

This is an incomplete tutorial, and it drives me crazy every
time I see it come around.
We live in a pretty great digital age and we have access to
a ton of amazing tools that artists in past generations couldn’t even dream of,
but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of
using it.
Here’s the missing part of this tutorial:
How do you populate your backgrounds?
Well, here’s the answer:
If the focus is the environment, you must show a person in relation to
that environment.
The examples above are great because they show how to use the
software itself, but each one just kind of “plops” the character in front of
their finished product with no regard of the person’s relation to their
environment.
How do you fix this?
Well, here’s the simplest solution:
This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and
comic artists alike when they’re quickly planning compositions. It’s simple and
it requires you to do some planning before you sit down to crank out that
polished, final version of your work, but it will be the difference between a background
and an environment.
Even if your draftsmanship isn’t that great (like mine),
people can be more immersed in the story you tell if you just make it feel like
there is a world that exists completely separate from the one in which they
currently reside – not just making a backdrop the characters stand in front of.
Your creations live in a unique world, and it is as much a character as
any other member of the cast. Make it as believable as they are.
Great comments and tutorials!
I’m a 3d artist and have been exploring the possibilities of using 3d as reference for 2d poses. I want to add a couple of tips and things!
Sketchup is very useful for environment references, and I assume it’s reasonably easy to learn. If you’re interested in going above and beyond, I highly recommend learning a proper 3d modeling program to help with art, especially because you can very easily populate a scene or location with characters!
Using 3ds Max I can pretty quickly construct an environment for reference. But going beyond that, I can also pose a pretty simple ‘CAT’ armature (known in 3d as a rig) straight into the scene, which can be totally customized, from various limbs, tails, wings, whatever, to proportions, and also can be modeled onto and expanded upon (for an example, you could 3d sculpt a head reference for your character and then attach it to the CAT rig, so you have a reference for complex face angles!)
The armature can also be posed incredibly easily. I know programs exist for stuff like this – Manga Studio, Design Doll – but posing characters in these programs is always an exercise in frustration and very fiddly imo. A simple 3d rig is impossibly easy to pose.
By creating an environment and dropping my character rig into it, I have an excellent point of reference when it comes to drawing the scene!
Not only that, but I can also view the scene from whatever angle I could ever want or need, including the character and their pose/position relative to the environment.
We can even quickly and easily expand this scene to include more characters!
Proper 3d modeling software is immensely powerful, and if you wanted to, you could model a complex environment that occurs regularly in your comic or illustration work (say, a castle interior, or an outdoor forest environment) and populate the scene with as many perspective-grounded characters as you need!
your indifference to pedophiles online gives them a platform to continue to hurt and groom children. you spreading a pedophile’s art or writing “because it’s good” gives them a way to draw in younger fans to prey on. your insistence that “not all pedophiles are bad” is an attempt to humanize and normalize pedophilia and that means that you are part of the problem even if you are not a pedophile yourself. the only way to support children is to be against pedophiles in every space, online or irl.
why limit yourself between choosing between a pretty feminine aesthetic or a dark one? if persephone can be the goddess of spring & queen of the underworld at the same time so can you
This is both against the gender roles that God put forth and in favor of the worship of pagan God’s. This is blatant satanic blasphemy
