Hello Tumblr. I have some news to share.

First off, I've decided to kinda pull back from using this site as my main content hub. I like Tumblr, but I'm feeling the need to mix things up and post in different online spaces. I’m also a bit worried about the site's future and some recent staff moves have pushed me in this direction.

Second, and most importantly, I've been pouring a ton of time into a super exciting project: a visual novel.

I've dropped hints here and there, but now it's go time. I'm getting into the nitty-gritty of writing, programming, graphics, et cetera.

The project’s name is MUTESHOCK: a story about the Internet and the people it raised.

It will be available entirely online, for free, with an optional downloadable version.

If you are interested in this project or in my work in general, you can follow me on these other socials: https://linktr.ee/webdewart

I've also got a brand-new blog where I’ll post updates about the project: https://muteshock-official.tumblr.com/

If you've been enjoying my posts, I'd love for you to follow the blog. Huge thanks for all your support, and for believing in me and my projects.

See you soon :)

I wish people would stop posting contextless Twitter screencaps on here, Twitter sucks and I don't like seeing its rot follow to other platforms. If its about an important news thing, at least just have the courtesy to link to an actual article about what's going on and leave some links and info on how to help

Another Reminder to Vote

I've said it once and I'll say it a million times more, the people of the US need to hyperfocus on voting the fascists and ultra-conservatives out of office this year. Yes, that means looking into state and local elections. Yes, that might even mean voting for a Dem you might deem "not good enough," if the alternative is full-on fascism.

Please, people, I'm a US citizen watching this from abroad, I don't want the idea of visiting my home country to fill me with as much dread and anxiety as it currently does.

I actually do find it fascinating that while the rest of the world was talking about the eclipse, I was just thinking about the Wii U and 3DS server shutdowns, despite the fact that I personally didn't play online on either system. I at least got to watch my wife play some last-minute Mario Maker while working on stuff, which was fun! Not enough people talk about the Babymetal crossover in that game.

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.

This just looks like the setup for a wacky sitcom somehow.

Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot, but the cassette I recorded it off of sounds weird

My first shitpost for today. This started out as a simple shitpost about the high notes making the vocals go up an octave, and it just devolved from there.

Wow, this is immensely fucked up. I had no interest in their game in the first place, but this just cements my desire to stay as far away from it as possible.

I really wish arknights didn't have a character who's named for an ethnic slur of my people

Gigakoops - Timber's Theme

We just put out a new commission track, from returning commissioner Jack. This time we've been asked to write something much different than anything we've written yet. It was a lot of fun!
