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.

It almost got me on deviantart, got suspicious when they started asking for personal info and blocked. Not falling for it again.

Fucking hell these ‘commission’ asks are really getting annoying

Just a heads up for anyone, theyre not people asking for commissions theyre scams. A person wanting to commission would probably not ask within a minute of me posting art, would probably follow me, would probably actually like my art, would have been following me for a while and would probably just dm you straight away

Not gonna rant but these are getting so annoying, and they’re dangerous for newer artists especially if theyre just getting into commissions

Another food for thought. What if Firestar joined WindClan instead of ThunderClan? Tallstar was close with Jake and would probably see him in Firepaw. They already had an interesting dynamic but it could be explored more. Maybe a father/son or mentor/apprentice relationship. Replace Graystripe with Onewhisker, who Fireheart already knew anyways. And the main antagonist would become Brokenstar instead of Tigerstar. Yellowfang could go to WindClan instead, as it also borders ShadowClan. More conflict would happen about taking her in because ShadowClan drove them out, but she's just a medicine cat so they might let her in. WindClan wouldn't depend on ThunderClan anymore. They'd be the hero clan. Now ThunderClan would need rescuing from Tigerstar or a senile Bluestar. And it would avoid the whole Onestar going crazy to prove his clan's independence from ThunderClan thing. Firestar could still choose Onewhisker as his deputy after Tallstar makes him leader. Firestar could've started off as a barn cat instead of a kittypet for this, he could even know Barley. And the fire alone prophecy could be made by Barkface instead of Spottedleaf. So I'd say that Firestar could've worked as a WindClan cat just as well as a ThunderClan one. And WindClan is just cooler in my opinion. If there's an AU like that out there already that is awesome.

WoF Tarot Cards (printed)

Do you remember my Queen Wasp artwork in Joy Ang style? Now, finally, all the cards are printed! It took a long time because there were always some problems at the printing house, but finally I got my deck!

I really like them, they are bright and pleasing to the eye, although sometimes there are problems with printing, for example, my card with Wasp turned out very dark, but it does not bother me.

I can only mention all the artists with a link to the album with their works on VKontakte - https://vk.com/album-87048021_306386311 (all artists are mentioned in photo comments), since not all of them are in Tumblr, and it may not be very good to tag everyone in the post. You've probably already seen many of their works on Tumblr)
