Reblogging because I'm feral for wing anatomy (in other words I have Opinions about it) and maybe people will find it useful
here, have wings.
Good Resources:
Puget Sound Wing and Tail Collection (where all the wing images I used came from)
Origin of Flight in Birds
Animating Bird Flight (great resource for ALL artists)
Faces
As a proud pirate, this is invaluable. Thank you sincerely
i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
Back at it again with my ClanGen game! You might remember me talking about ClanGen. You may naturally assume I've picked it up again recently and decided to draw my clan's ten founders, and that I spent a few days to a week making this. And you would, naturally, be wrong. I started this in February. I drew the first eight cats. All that was left was Morningpaw and Creekpaw. But I just. Stopped. And forgot about it. Until a month or so ago, when I FINALLY drew the last two cats. And then I forgot about it again until a week or two ago, when I finished it up, and I'm now posting it.
These cats are from HeronClan, a fanmade Warriors Clan that lives by the sea. They are the Clan's founders. You might have noticed the 2:3 adult to child ratio, which was an accident, and resulted in Rowanstar getting four apprentices: Wolfpaw, Webpaw, Morningpaw and Creekpaw. I can only imagine what that must have been like. Mouselarch was the only warrior at the beginning, too. I'm now in the 30-somethingth moon, and the Clan has wayyy more members now; I'm thinking of drawing another list of cats once I get to Moon 50, but we'll have to see.
Here are the traits/skills of each cat, so you can get a bit of a feel for their personalities:
Rowanstar: calm, unusually strong fighter
Toadheart: careful, great teacher
Skystripe: faithful, great hunter (pain)
Mouselarch: strange, good teacher
Wolfpaw: patient
Ganderpaw: ambitious
Hillpaw: ambitious
Webpaw: loyal
Morningpaw: compassionate
Creekpaw: cold
I started this game before the experience system changed, so that's why the apprentices don't have skills yet.
Anyway, I've been procrastinating on this thing for long enough, so here it is! Enjoy.
HI CIN! i just moved over from DA and HI if u need any help navigating the site lmk :D
Alright! I'll hit you up if anything confuses me too much lol. Nice to see another person I already know here, and gl on Tumblr!
Art trade with @hannyatiger !
This one took me 6 hours and 22 minutes, the second longest time of all the art trades I've done this year. I don't really know why it took that long. I guess I was just really slow at it.
It was an interesting challenge because I rarely work with really brightly coloured characters, so I had a bit of an experience trying to find a way to make it look a little less intense on the eyes.
Man I wish the book had this instead of the boring useless unnecessary plot we got
I remember once talking to my partner about the Dragonslayer book (which I have not read myself). I told him I hope there is a scene in there where Sunny does something normal and non-threatening and somehow ends up misinterpreted as a horrifying nightmare creature by a bunch of clueless scavengers with overactive imaginations.
I've sat here for about an hour now, trying to decide whether I should tag this as "violent" or not. On the one hand, it really isn't; it's just strawberry juice after all. On the other hand maybe the evocative imagery in the first panel is transcending the actual reality of the situation. I've decided to leave it as is for the time being. If this imagery upsets you though, please let me know so I can figure out a way to deal with that in the future. Maybe I can make up a new tag or something.
i deserve to be an eel. in a crevice with a bunch of other eels. opening and closing our mouths over and over
Vee?? Wtf???
Uh, so I don't like Vee's canon design, mostly her palette. A green palette could work, sure, but her specific palette is not good. Primarily because the two shades of green are almost exactly the same value (which makes them blend together), but also because it makes her look much more like a computer than a TV. Besides the colours, it kind of bothers me that she (and many other toons) are basically completely naked.
So I wanted to take a shot at redesigning her.
Here, we have a red/blue/grey colour scheme. This just makes the most sense to me; when I think "movie" or "TV" those are the colours I think of. The red and blue are also supposed to mimic 3D glasses.
She's fully clothed, in a suit because what else would she wear. Gave her white gloves bc the light value draws attention to her hands and makes her gestures easier to understand. Her face and tail glow for the same reason. I'd have Vee's tail always showing, by the way. I do not want to know where she puts it in canon. Uh. Anyway, she has a belt chain too bc they're cool.
Will make a good drawing of this design at some point, but I'm feeling lazy tonight, so yeah.
Ok that's it byeee (I will go back to my regular stuff eventually, I promise, but feast well in the meantime)
P.S. Reblog if you wanna see my other toon redesign ideas >:)
Yesterday (maybe the day before) Hibiscus_Cove on TH just kind of. Gave me a character. And this is the character's new ref!
This one isn't quite as refined as my usual art because it wasn't supposed to be a full thing at first. By the time I decided to finish it up I was too far along to redo the lines lol. I still like it though.
One of the main design changes was adding more colours and patterns. I tried to stay true to the OG though, and I think it worked? I also gave them a bit of an outfit and I changed their species. They were originally just a dragon, but I've got a species I'm developing and I'm looking for more OCs to add to it, so yeah. This guy got hit by the species beam.
Likes and reblogs are greatly appreciated! But don't feel obligated of course :3
done with the requests, really had fun with the httyd ones specially, thank you all!
