does anyone have a link to the collection of Warriors pdfs?
i wanted to catch up over the whole quarantine/virus thing, but it appears the docs/drive has been trashed.
if anyone has it, or a collection of some sort that doesnt require me trying to buy all of these, it’d be very much appreciated ;; w ; ;
I see people trying to justify the officer’s actions relating to George Floyd’s murder following the recent bodycam footage. Firstly, resisting arrest is not grounds for murder. There have been many white criminals who have resisted arrest and were dealt with peacefully.
Secondly, George Floyd clearly had trauma from previous police interactions, saying that he got shot once by them. He says this in the face of a gun being directed at him in the beginning of the footage when he had not yet resisted. The gun was not put away. Later he says that he fears being shot and getting COVID (presumably in prison), neither of these fears were assuaged. Instead the police are forceful and verbally aggressive with him (swearing at him multiple times).
Thirdly, he was clearly panicking and the cops did nothing to deescalate. This is why people are saying defund the police because a mental health professional would have done much more good. Or at least train police to deal with people with mental illness or those who panic during arrests. 6 months of training is not enough.
Fourthly, Floyd said that he needed 3 seconds to catch his breath before going into the vehicle. He was not granted those 3 seconds.
Finally, he was restrained. I see people saying that the drugs in his system were a factor in him being unable to breath. Even if that was the case. ANYONE who’s neck is being KNELT ON for 8 MINUTES is going to die. 8 minutes of lack of oxygen is enough to strangle a perfectly healthy man.
Even if he was violent, which he was not, he did not deserve to die. He did not deserve to die for having drugs in his system, he did not deserve to die for using counterfeit bills, he did not deserve to die for panicking and resisting arrest. George Floyd should still be alive, the officers involved in his murder should be convicted and the police should be held accountable and defunded in favour of investing in poorer neighbourhoods, education, drug treatment programs and mental health services.

yo anyone got PDFs of the entire guardians of ga’hoole series? i’ve got wolves of the beyond and warriors but i need my owls to complete the holy trinity of Way Too Violent children’s novels i binged and 100% had hyperfixations about when i was 9-12
aah i love your art, and liro's an absolute darling! i hope it's not too much trouble that i ask but how did you get so good at visualizing canine anatomy? i always have trouble making anatomy look convincing, they seem to always look one dimensional and flat. thank you and have a nice day!
Aaa thank you so much (and I know, right? I would be completely lost without Iiro). <3
Well, I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs all around me (my first neighbourhood was inhabited by many German Shepherd Dog enthusiasts, including my parents), so I’ve spent a huge portion of my life observing their body structure and movements. I may not know all of the dog anatomy tips and tricks whatsoever but I’ve developed a strong sense of knowing what ~*~looks~*~ right and what does not. On top of that I’ve had a ton of repetitive practice.
I bet anybody can get better at doggo anatomy though. Genuine interest in learning all about your drawing subject goes far. Most of those Really Damn Good Artists that I know of use references and do regular life drawing sessions, so those two things are another key to effective learning (it should also help your brain to understand perspective and forms better! You mentioned that your dogs look “flat”, I’m by no means a professional and haven’t seen your drawings so I don’t know for sure but that to me sounds like you could benefit from practicing forms and perspective?).
You didn’t ask for this asdfg but here’s a handful of woof tutorials etc. that have helped me in the past, maybe you/somebody else reading this will find them useful:
