nobuddy feels like they have a sharp attention span these days, right? and we all just click “agree on terms of service” because its hard to love yourself sometimes, well

enter Terms of Service, Didn’t Read: a website and a browser addon that streamlines the terms of service of many popular web services to be read by the tech sunday drivers.

It’s graded from A (great) to E (awful) and if you have the addon you have access to the info about the website on your bar

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.

There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own. 

Please add on if you know any more resources for free images <3

wouldn't it be really funny if you're a newbie witch/warlock and on the fabled day where you get your familiar, it's just a twink cat boy

#witch #warlock #shitpost #id like to imagine that you go through this ritual and then he pops out like “nyaa~” #send them back to the void id say #dnd #dnd idea

I had a dream (or I suppose, nightmare) where I got a -918% in one of my classes because I missed three 100-point assignments. these assignments were not under modules so of course I didn't see them. I sat there dumbfounded on how that even happened and then I woke up.

#college #last night i dreamt #dream #last dream I had

thinking about Clefairy

I don't really ever see love for this little fluffball. it's literally one of my favorite pokemon. like literally just a little, pink fellow that admires the moon and the stars. not to mention it has such a cute cry and the overworld interactions in newer games are just adorable.

like they're so unbelievably loveable please admire them

#pokemon #pokemon fandom #please look at them #clefairy #pokemon appreciation
