The Make-everything-hades Fever Has Spread To Lae'zel

having gith kid thoughts

I love how Hades II sets up the impression that Olympus is in full-on war mode with big armies of various supernatural beings and the Gods all dressed up in armor and personally participating — and then you reach the mountain and their entire line of defense is just a dozen cranky bots and Athena

There is exactly one Florence & the Machine song that I associate with each origin character from Baldur’s Gate 3 and I am tempted to make a list

reasons.

Very random bits of art wisdom I learned over the years bc I'm bored on the bus:

If you use black for shading it'll muddy up your colors (not saying do not do it ever cause I'm sure some ppl make it work but still)

Use references kids

Like seriously who came up with the idea that refs are bad

I pinky promise you don’t have to pull poses, outfits, etc out of your artist ass

Drawin' chompers? Lower canines always in front of upper canines

The secret to the other eye is not copy pasting the first, but drawing both together as opposed to fully rendering them one at a time

Styles are annoyingly overrated. How about we realize the value of experimenting and being versatile eh

Step out of your comfort zone. Will it suck at first? I mean yeah probably but there's no other way to learn something you wanna learn

Idk what ppl are on about hands, it's shoes that are the real devil here

Also while I'm at it, have a "comfort subject" that takes little effort to draw, for when you really wanna do something but don't feel particularly inspired

It's also a good little bit of ego boost

Take breaks. Seriously. Don't be like me. And stretch.

Half the fun of designing a creature is figuring out its anatomy (but i mean I'm a nerd so take this with a grain of salt)

Textured brushes are your friends, but they can make something a lot messier than intended so watch out for that

Learn just a little bit of color theory (no not the children's hospital that isn't even actual color theory, funnily enough)

Cutting corners is valid, but try not to end up completely dependant on certain tools

Name your files something other than keyboard smashes. Trust me.

Treat your microns like newborns and don't let that one fking classmate that presses the pen like their life depends on it borrow them i swear to fucking god-

There's no one size fits all for art, maybe every single bit of advice i just gave is complete useless bs to u and that's fair

clowns are the most feared creatures in faerun

"I just can't stand having anyone else betray me."

Just walked by a housemate and I audibly gasped and she said "aww thank you it's new :)" and twirled around to show me the gorgeous gilded dress she was wearing to a party and I did not have the heart to tell her I wasn't gasping about the dress I was excited about the box of Dominos cheese pizza she had in her hands
