Hot Artists Don't Gatekeep

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they’re a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.

Starting to think the Superman/Clark Kent thing has some merit because I just went to a party wearing contacts and goth makeup and not a single one of my friends recognized me - including people I've known since freshman year

Union

Fate decreed they be joined. Fate doomed both of them.

*shamelessly posts art of ocs on a fan art account*

Last year I visited a museum where there was an ancient sceptre on display. On it was the carving of a bird and a fish pieced together by an arrow; apparently a symbol for the conjugation of two previously warring tribes.

I decided to borrow the motif for my two shapeshifter characters, make it into a twist on the "red string of fate" trope.
