I Hate That I Did And Intricate Frame For This, But It Just Looks Better With A Black Square And I Wasted

I hate that I did and intricate frame for this, but it just looks better with a black square and I wasted hours of my life on it. Please enjoy the fruits of my suffering.

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.

Screenshot of a poem.   Text reads: You told your disciples, yes— but did you tell your parents?   Did you sit them down at a table, try not to let it get awkward, try to get it over with.   "Mom, Dad, I'm — going to die."   How long was the silence?   Did Mary wrap her arms around you like you were a child, like she hadn't much since you'd gone away, with all the force of the tears she'd save for after you left again?   Or did they cry then and ask what they'd done wrong, and did you reassure them, "it's just a few days, and then I'll be better than before," "I'm not the first to do this—you've met Lazarus, right?"  Did you wonder if they already knew, if they'd seen the signs in the myrrh, in every screaming crowd, in the way you watched Joseph drive nails into wood?  Did they ask you how long you'd known, and did you know how to say forever?

Any recipe that involves a bunch of vegetable chopping yet promises a mere "10 minutes" of prep...... who the fuck do you think I am, man. You think I'm a chef? You think I'm a professional chef with lightning knife skills and impeccable mise en place? These veggies and I are in it for the long haul, my man, we're gonna be spending at LEAST half an hour struggling along together before they're ready to go in the pan

I don’t think I have the chops for D&D or other tabletop RPGs but I could make a good DM’s assistant. I don’t play the game but I sit and listen and then after the session the DM can ask me for ideas.

we don't talk about this enough but people from new york (state) literally call it that. we say (state) after it to disambiguate it from the city, out loud. "yeah I'm from New York (state)" <- completely normal way to say you're from new york but not specifically nyc

Does Anyone Here Even Know What Urinetown Is?

she's a nepo baby. she's got an absolutely massive heart somewhere beneath the tissues. she may not have learned much at the most expensive university in the world, but she did learn that kidnapping people is wrong. also how to manipulate mass groups of people. her boyfriend starts a revolution and holds her hostage and all the rebels wanna kill her so bad they sing a song about it. the only reason they don't kill her is because she's their bargaining chip against her father and her father doesn't even save her. she's a bastard child and her estranged mother is her boyfriend's boss. she joins and takes charge of the revolution that wanted to kill her so bad. she kills her father and then becomes another version of him and sends her town into despair. she comforts a dying woman by telling her there's a glass of water inside her. she likes bunnies. I didn't say her name but she popped into your head didn't she-

A reply from @/magentagalaxies

"what the fuck even is the plot to urinetown"

WONDERFUL question @magentagalaxies :]

so picture this. you're in the middle of a 20 year water shortage. a shortage so bad water consumption has to be strictly regulated. by getting rid of private bathrooms, and only allowing people to do their business in public, pay-to-use toilets. if you can't pay, you don't get to go, and if you try to do your business in the bushes or in jars in your home you'll get caught and arrested. breaking the public health act gets you sent to Urinetown. no one knows what Urinetown is, but it's a bad place

our narrator is a cop, Officer Lockstock, who throughout the show talks to the audience and a girl named Little Sally about the show. he gives the show's twist away halfway through act one

our leading man is Bobby Strong, an assistant custodian at the poorest public toilet in town. his boss is a lady named Miss Pennywise. in the opening scene, Bobby's dad's short on cash and can't pay the fee, so Miss Pennywise won't let him in. when Bobby won't help him out he ends up doing his business on the sidewalk and gets exiled to Urinetown

our villain is Caldwell B Cladwell, the guy who runs the public restroom company and put the fees in place. he bribes the lawmakers and cops to do his bidding and let him keep raising the pee fees, promising the people his company is looking for longterm solutions to the water shortage, but it seems all they do with the money is go on vacations

our leading lady is Hope Cladwell, bastard daughter of Mr Cladwell and Miss Pennywise, just returned from the most expensive university in the world to work at her dad's company. character of all time. she meets Bobby, hears of his guilt over his dad, and encourages him to follow his heart and do what he thinks is right

so Bobby starts a revolution at the toilet he works at, letting the poor in town pee for free

shit hits the fan after that! Hope spends most of act two as a hostage. people die. the two cops have a literal honest to god Destiel Superhell moment, where Officer Barrel tells Lockstock he loves him, Lockstock says "I see" and then Barrel immediately gets murdered

it ends with a stinger joke that exactly two people have laughed at throughout this entire run, and I had to look it up to get it

it might be my favorite show that I've worked on

urinetown truly is the only musical like it’s about the effects of capitalism on ecology its about corruption in the police force it’s about gay cops it’s about piss it’s about white woman activism the main character dies at the start of the second act the narrator spoils the big mystery of the show ten minutes in and they still treat the reveal like new information it’s about shit the cast recording sounds like it was recorded through two tin cans connected with a piece of string
