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.

MapCrunch. Environment artists rejoice. Random locations, filter by indoor or outdoor, rural or urban, specific country. Great for realistic/authentic building ref.

While we’re burning Warp down to the ground (good riddance, Art thieves), anyone know a good place to stare longingly from the sidelines look into in game RP?

GW2RP Discord is dead, I wouldn't bother there, really. Instead, check out the following: - Living World Roleplayers LWRP, for general GW2 RP connections - Ascalon Accord pertaining to Ascalon specifically, ie Black Citadel and Ebonhawke - Krytan Coalition for Krytan stuff - GW2RP caard for a big list of links to active RP guilds including EU guilds (no association to the Discord afaik). Guilds most actively advertise in those three discords, especially LWRP. There is a lot of overlap between the three main discords but they have their own flavor and specific events. Each have places where you can look for RP, post character profiles, and browse guild adverts and upcoming events. There are discords for nobility and other niche hubs. They are NA focused, however. I am not on an EU server, and unsure if there are RP hubs for that side of things.

Hello! EU representative here, I guess!

On EU side we have WRP and ChRP, WRP being a general hub and ChRP being charr specific. ChRP can be sort of quiet but its also my server so I've gotta rep it.

(I dunno how tumblr linking works, so here we go..!)

Reminder to protect your art, no matter how insignificant you think yours is (i.e. "I am a small/amateur/invisible artist, they won't bother with me", yes, yes they will)

Poison them bitches!

So y'all know that piece by Jean Delville called "Justice" ?

I wanted to re-create it and see what I could learn from it and so this has ccome to life. Fairly good result :nod nod: My biggest gripes were how do I stick leaves on this, and well, this is what happened.

I am especially proud of the hands, and the leaf connections on Akura's ass.

Guy on top is Eiladhur, and below is Akura, the Thorntouched version of him aka Vampire-man.

Aye I will answer no problem after I had to fight you to tell me who you wanted this for >:D

3. Do they have actual expertise in the other weapons their profession can wield or just the ones they currently use?

Akura has expertise in pretty much all weapons, over the years you pick up some stuff :D His fave is a staff, though.

4. Are they still in contact with their Order?/Which of the three Orders would they have fit in best if they're not in one?

Akura still sometimes acts as the Priory's Archon, although lately less and less time can be spent there, so he's mostly doing work "from work", lel. Just sending his findings and stuff to the priory, not really visiting anymore.

9. What is/What would be a rumor spread about them that's actually true?

*taps mic* Is this... is this pg-13 only cuz he's a... he's a big guy and you know what they say about big guys :wink wink nudge nudge:

GW2 ask meme uh...4 I think?

Heeeeey tumblrrrr, it's meeeee.

1. In what ways is the personal story different for them (or is it just. Entirely different?)
2. Is there anyone that just flat out despises them?
3. Do they have actual expertise in the other weapons their profession can wield or just the ones they currently use?
4. Are they still in contact with their Order?/Which of the three Orders would they have fit in best if they're not in one?
5. How do they introduce themselves to strangers? Titles first? No titles at all?
6. If they could ask anyone from Tyria's history a question, who and what would it be? (History for the purposes of this question can be like, last year)
7. If they had died, who would they feel comfortable passing the commander torch to?/Would they have made a decent commander if they were put in that position?
8. What is a conspiracy theory they believe?
9. What is/What would be a rumor spread about them that's actually true?
10. What is/What would be a lie about them they WISH was true?
11. How would they be drastically misrepresented in fandom if they were an npc?
12. How are they/How would they be drastically misinterpreted in-universe?
13. What is a controversial in-universe take they have?
14. Assign them a meme/vine/tiktok
15. If they went back in time and told their younger self about their life thus far, what would be the most shocking part to them?
16. What is a joke idea you had for them that became canon?
17. Free space

Do yall sometimes have that state of "I am one question away from ranting about this OC for the length of 3 academic papers"?

Cuz that's how I feel about thornkura (vampirekura)
