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

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.

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.

Things Jon Sims Has Done In The Past 3 Years

Got a promotion at work! Score!

Decided fuck this job maybe this sucks 

Got chased by worms 

Got wormed by worms 

Accused everyone he knows of murder 

Got stabbed by fuckhands mcmike’s fuckhands 

Found some tunnels under his work

Found an old man in the tunnels under his work

Found the smushed remains of an old man in the tunnels under his work

Got framed for the murder of an old man

Moved in with his ex, who he hasn’t seen in years 

Heated Handshake

Got kidnapped

Got kidnapped again, clown bogaloo ft moisturiser 

Got kidnapped again, USA Edition 

Met a ghost 

Got told the unholy secrets of the universe by said ghost 

Blew up a wax museum 

Died 

Came back to life 

Haunted people’s nightmares 

Sucked several people’s traumas out of their heads like a slurpee 

This is his only form of sustenance now but he’ll still take tea, thanks

Got stabbed trying to perform surgery on a coworker

Got two ribs ripped out 

Walked into a death dirt coffin, lived  

Stared into the antithesis of the sun, thought it was pretty 

Tried to convince his coworker he previously was cool with dying that they should run away together (and gouge their eyes out) 

Ran into the Depression Beach to save said coworker, decided they’re each others reason to live 

Genuinely murdered an old man this time 

Tried to look at some cows 

Was tricked into starting the apocalypse 

Is a god now???

list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals

cleaning or wipe your bare feet

breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone

putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head

eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground

seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view

cupping your hands into running water to wash your face

the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present

when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly

Man I really forgot about the part where Arthur Lester wakes up from a coma and then gets shot 3 times and dies and gets resurrected all in the same day

Various audio snippets of my childhood that I've collected.

My son saw a bug on the ceiling for the first time

been thinking about these two (shocking i know), but consider:

John tugging at Arthur's clothes to nudge him at certain directions or to stop during high-stakes situations;

John pretending to fidget, ie scratching Arthur's cheek or rubbing his chin, in order to turn his head in the proper direction to keep up appearances;

John helping Arthur fix his clothes and hair since he can't see those;

John reaching out for things first so that Arthur can follow the general location of his left hand for the item;

John pinching Arthur's side to get his attention;

Arthur pinching John's hand, uno reverse style;

John learning to use a fountain pen for writing, cus proper pressure and flow are an important aspect of it;

also Arthur and John puzzling shorthands together, so that John can make sense of it;

Arthur occasionally trying to puzzle architectural styles from John's descriptions, so that they can get on the same page of what terms they are both familiar with;

same with plants and animals, trying to nail what species John is seeing from descriptions alone;

who can relate

Prompt by K.M. (thank you for the joy of drawing them like this)

if tumblr explodes you can address a letter to my url and place it in any hollow log. to be clear i will not receive it. but it is an action you can take

I think if a fairy showed up at my house like yeah they are not real but there is narrative precedent for that. a fairy, if it existed, would show up at a house. i just need to suspend one disbelief everything else tracks. it's a big surprise, but a singular one. i would know how to get with the programm pretty quick.

if a walrus knocked at my door there would be many more fucking questions than one. a walrus showing up at my house? knowing that knocking is the required social etiquette? having reasons to know on my door and somehow the ability to do that despite having no arms? said walrus coming to me of all people?? a walrus being real is the least of my concerns at that point why the fuck does it need my help what kind of problem can I solve that a socially aware and apparently findextrous walrus fucking can't

What I would give for a fully-voiced crossover

The Dreamlands discord was talking and this happened.

Not me consuming podcasts at an alarming rate. Time to re-listen to all of The Adventure Zone!

If you live in the USA and you're pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!

It's a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.

It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it's still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.

You're not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.

Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can't, then make your donation posts!

I am in awe valiants... I don't know how you do it but the way the victorian AU sends me to a different time, while the characters still feeling exactly the same from the modern day military propaganda videogame.. it boggles the mind

😭😭😭😭😭😭 thanks… I'm sure it helps that I am TRULY not being faithful to the era with dialogue… but I do like drawing them dressed down

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

Finally organized the Arthur injury/incident chart into something actually presentable! Red are for things that would definitely leave scars or other noticeable evidence, orange are too unspecified to say but could have left notable marks. [Image ID in Alt]

obsessed with this whole sequence. the pre-ceremony public canoodling. the heart eyes. ambrosius' glower. ballister's little glances back at him. how ambrosius catches him. the hand holding ambrosius back.
