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.

emotional hands...

🕊️ from the reference archive on HATOKING.com 🕊️

HatoKing? More like Hand-o King, but not, like, because of hand jobs 'cause she makes tons of hand drawing reference material! (I use these all the time in my own drawing.)

Made by the guy who created Hatoful Boyfriend, the pigeon dating sim. (The bio is in Japanese so I'm unclear on whether they made it are just a huge fan.)*

*edit to add: confirmed by @fluffyheretic: HatoMoa is the creator of Hatoful Boyfriend (a lady-king and I should have referred to as "she")

how rude...

August's ''name to win'' contest has begun over on my patreon!

Curing the sick at 5, juggling in the king's court at 5.30 - this month's prize doll is both a plague doctor and a clown, with a loyal worm (not on a string) companion.

All Jester Jackpot ($6) tier supporters are invited to suggest up to two names for this guy over on my patreon page, and at the end of the month whoever suggests the most fitting name will win the doll (I ship worldwide from Ireland at no extra cost). Deadline is Aug 30th, 23:00 GMT+1.

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
