hot artists don't gatekeep

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.

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.

"Trans rights are part of the Greater Good!"

Did you know Transgender Day of Visibility fell on Easter this year? I didn't. Not until day of. And this won't happen again until 2087.

So in celebration of this fact, here is a very late Easter mini. One that also happens to be the first T'au I've ever painted.

Thinking about it now, there are two jokes I can make. One is a groaner about eggs. The other would get me punched.

Another day another mini.

This is Coco. They love Dunkin coffee, the Dead Kennedys, and Alan Moore's masterpiece Watchmen. They spend their days staring at the lake and their nights moshing at concerts.

This little guy was a suggestion by my friend Emily, and the reason I love asking people for suggestions is that they don't know what's possible, so they always come up with something cool.

I'm really proud of how he came out. Finishing him on Easter was a complete coincidence, but wouldn't you know it as soon as he's done the perfect Easter idea pops into my head.

"This town ain't big enough for the both of us!

And it ain't me who's gonna leave!"

A pigeon wearing a cowboy hat. Where did he get it? How did he fit his claws into little cowboy boots? Is he now the sheriff around these parts?

Hell if I know.

This was suggested to me by my friend Emily, so this is all her fault.

Guess who got disqualified from the Hugo Awards for unclear, most possibly political reasons!!

Award admin Dave McCarty's response to people asking why:

But this email is apparently just bouncing everything back so here's the full list of the admin team:

Hey folks! Doing one more round of character commissions before I focus on long-term projects (including Your D&D Stories) for a while. Snag 'em while you can! e-mail YourDnDStories at gmail, subject 'Doodles' for more information. Here's a little ref sheet, and then a bunch of finished ones from the last batch I did.

Ok thx ily, sorry I'm posting this instead of more comics.

Recently I started playing Heroes of the Storm. Since I last played 7 years ago, they've released a few new skins. Including 1 for Raynor that turns him into a green army man. You can even give him a green army horse. So I had to make this. This is also the first time I actually got rigging working. I have no idea how, but I somehow bent his little legs around the horse.

The trope I'm exploring with Space Crowd Saturday existed before Star Wars, but 'A New Hope' still stands as the biggest popularizer of the concept. Here's Ralph McQuarrie's Mos Eisley Cantina art.

its retrospection tuesday

"Wield the Square Hammer! It is your destiny!"

"I'm getting too old for this shit."

-Brother Danny upon receiving his thunder hammer.

Recently my friend Brandon started getting into Warhammer, and that's given me the perfect excuse to finally print the "Legio Prima Victrix" models that have been collecting dust on my harddrive for months.

This is my test model. Meant to show what the kit looks like assembled, and painted to tabletop standard.

Aside from the wash being a bit too dark, there's nothing I'd change about it.

"The life and the love thou despisest, These hurt us indeed, and in vain, O wise among women, and wisest, Our Lady of Pain." -Algernon Charles Swinburne Well that took forever. I've wanted to paint the Lady of Pain for a while now, but it took a while to find a good model. Unfortunately the one I found was absolutely massive. Which combined with all the blades meant they kept breaking. As if the Lady herself was displeased at being represented. This one actually got damaged after I'd already painted it. But I don't think it's that noticeable. Went with oil paints for this one. Zorn palette with an additional red for more variety. Overall I'm really happy with it. Just need to find a good place to put her.

Merry Christmas! I've had the file for these little guys lying around for at least a year now. Decided to print some out and hand them out as party favors. All in all, a success.

Tried my hand at 2D printing a die.

Went with opaque resin and painted it up so that I wouldn't have to sand it. No idea if it's balanced but I'm thinking of carrying it around for really important rolls.

A part of me is tempted to start a die casting operation, but I know I'd want to get a pressure chamber for the casts. And those can explode.

I feel like folks who are disappointed that trying to escalate physical confrontations in Disco Elysium often results in Harry getting clowned regardless of how many points you put into physical skills are not fully grasping the "you are a middle-aged alcoholic with a heart condition who is currently experiencing the withdrawal symptoms of every drug" dimension of the game's premise.

Back to metal minis.

The Greebo Games Khorne team didn't come with Bloodseekers, but it did come with these cool looking demons. So they're my counts as.

I wanted each of the positions to be easily distinguishable at a glance, so while they all use the same colors each one has a different dominant color.

Linemen are skin. Khornegors are brown. And Bloodseekers are red.

Also, the implied backstory here is that demons from Hell have decided to stop killing people randomly in favor of mauling them during football. Which I'm OK with.
