Look At This.

Look at this.

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

No matter what George does. No matter if he twisted it into "Elia was ok and never felt humiliated nor used, and the Martells didn't mind what Rhaegar did" or if George decided never to talk about Elia. R x L will always be disgusting and not a tragic love story.

Any sane human being can see that.

Even in a creepy scenario where she was ok with it OR one where she didn't love Rhaegar, he will always be to blame, and he still used her.

That's why the R x L stand always try to either ignore her existence or reduce it into nothing and her into some kind of supernatural alien human that is ok with everything dirty done to her.

Because they know their oh so tragic, self insert true love story will always seem disgusting because of Elia's existence in the story.

No amount of excuses or fanarts will ever change this truth. No matter which characters George will make accepting and supporting of them (Ned, Arthur, Oberyn, Doran even Elia herself....ect). Why? Because it's unrealistic.

Even if R and L's were running away from Aerys, then suddenly *accidentally* saw a prophecy or fell in love.

OR Even if George made it that Rhaegar wouldn't have left her if she had been able to give him another child. It doesn't change that he abandoned her and their children in the worst way possible with no protection against Aerys and his loyal kingsguard. And even then, it's hard to believe she'd accept just because he told her : Hey, I see in my dreams that I have to have 3 children or we all die. Like, what is this? She almost died for that, no thanks to you and your one after another impregnation.

It's disgusting and not well-written at all.

That's just the plain truth.

That's why a huge part of the fandom dislikes it. Not because they "didn't read the books" or "they lack critical thinking".

It's actually because they know how to think instead of inserting themselves as not like other girls girl and shipping themselves with terrible husband and father, charismatic depressed prince charming.

Poor Rhaegar had a sense of doom following him and knew he'd die soon so Elia let him be? That's very idiotic.

No. Elia being fine with annulment or polygamy isn't normal unless she is forced to. And you know it.

Rhaegar's wife this, Rhaegar's wife that! Her two children!

Who gives a f?!

She was an ugly ass whore who died. The end. Not worth the effort he put into fucking her. Or are you the kind of a hole who thinks a man in a arrange marriage should be beholden and tied to the old woman he was forced to marry?

The boy literally died violently by murder at hands of rapist Robert, at least let him be free of her in the afterlife. Don't forcefully keep the elia noose around his neck. It's disgusting.

Elia Martell was Rhaegar's wife.

Elia Martell was the mother of his trueborn children.

Elia Martell would have his crowned queen if they both lived.

Not your Great Beloved Self Insert. The fact you immediately go straight to gendered insults and rape threats just shows you know the truth in your bones and it pisses you off to no end.

The fact that the fandom is unironically arguing that B&C wasn’t “that bad” by comparing it to other atrocious events that have occurred in the main series tells me that we have reached brainrot levels not yet discovered.

In what world does someone unironically say that some women and children being held hostage and made to answer for the crimes of the males in her family “not that big of a deal”.

Like for the love of god stop the team brainrot and acknowledge an atrocity for what it was.

How can you sit there and claim “moral superiority” based on how much you care about “women’s rights” and then try and claim B&C wasn’t that “bad”?

Y’all are going to unironically sit there and “stan” Blood because he cares about “women’s rights” for Rhaenyra and ignore the fact that Blood beat a “whore” to death in a drunken rage?

Women’s rights don’t matter then? Only the pretty princess you can self insert into matters?

What about the bed maid Blood strangled to death before B&C? No women’s rights then?

I thought yall cared about “all women”?

What about Helaena? What did Helaena do to Lucerys? What did her three toddlers do to Lucerys? Or are you unironically arguing that Helaena and her children answer for Aemond’s actions.

How can you claim to care about women? How can you claim that where you stand on media implies your morality and say that a woman who harmed no one and did nothing to anyone being held hostage by a man who we know canonically killed two women threaten to r*pe her little girl before her very eyes as he psychologically tortured her saying he’d kill all of her children if she didn’t choose a child to be murdered. Before of course beheading said child.

B&C was one of the most vile and torturous actions that occurred in F&B without question and you don’t have to compare it to other atrocities in the main series to try and diminish it. It is sick and vile and no amount of pretending it wasn’t won’t make it so.

❝(do you love me?) you imbecile.❞

New Chapter...

It wasn't until she was sitting on the table waiting for everything to be served, avoiding the glances Aemond was throwing at her and waiting for Aegon, the Queen and the King when she realised what Ser Criston had said.

"He called me a whore!" She said aloud, banging the table and making everyone at the table tense.

Aemond particularly dropped the spoon he was trying to balance to his finger.

The left pic is Valentino Spring 2014 Couture. I just tried to recreate this as Viserra's in this fic with little modifications.

I am myself surprised how well I painted it. But her face... She looks older and I had very less patience to do it again.
