I Heard Of The Octo Expansion And I Figured Tetrox Would Greet All The New Octolings With A Party And

This right here is a picture I drew of someone dressed as DV.A in convention I went to. And this is something to be proud of. Mostly because of trying out a new style of shading with a brush, thank you photoshop. So what do you think of it? should i draw more pictures with this kind of style? let me know

Imlove the pose in this

I still can’t believe Mayo won the #Splatoon2 Splatfest last weekend. Next time I’m bringing out the big guns for my team!

Why is this girl so troubled? Is that an actual shark biting her head? find out this Sunday at 12 on my art stream! picarto.tv/AlexFanMade

I Can’t get off my mind how they Tsuyu would be a great hero to kids when she goes Pro, And this thought accord to me “if kids would dress up as her and go -ribbit- would that bring a smile to her face?” the answer would be an obvious yes. 

I teamed up with Irohcards and created illustrations for cards based my webcomic series. You can pre-order and all proceeds go to charity!

This is the special card: Twinkle Thank You! You can only get it if you get all other 4 cards!

Alt-right homophobes are using 4chan to plan a terrifying cyber attack on the LGBT+ community during Pride month

Alt-right 4chan users are plotting to hijack LGBT+ Pride month by clogging social media with poisonous homophobia and boycotting supportive

Brace yourselves, everybody: The fascists of 4chan are planning an anti-LGBT social media blitz starting June 1 for Pride Month

Expect to see a lot of alt-right bots and sockpuppets doing everything possible to increase tension, division, and bad feelings in the LGBTQ+ community.

Basic guidelines:

Focus on your own goals and experiences for Pride Month—instead of just responding to the latest outrage, focus on connecting to people you care about, doing things you enjoy, promoting good causes, sharing media you like, or fundraising for organizations doing good work.

If you see someone promoting hateful or divisive opinions, don’t engage with them and boost their metrics—block and report them

Remember that a lot of troll operations aim to make us feel hopeless and divided. Trolls take our community’s existing vulnerabilities and divisions, and weaponize them. These trolls will be leaning hard on filling social media with new stories about homophobic and transphobic violence and suicide statistics, so we’re upset, in a defensive mentality, and feeling isolated and alone. We have to work together to promote solidarity and positivity.

Double-check news stories before spreading them. Be extra suspicious before you signalboost something. Screencaps can be fabricated; so can videos and images. Google for other sources, check reputable news sites, or look it up on Snopes

Don’t assume people are who they say they are. Trolls will especially assume identities they can use to promote division. They’ll pose as LGBT people so they can inflame infighting or attack LGBT people with fewer consequences, or to frame different groups for misdeeds.

Take care of yourself and don’t let them get you down. Pride 2020 has a huge damper because we can’t do a lot of the things that help us renew and recharge. Being in quarantine means we miss out on festivals, dancing, parades, performances, workshops, and important community-building events. We were already going to have to work to make it a decent Pride at a distance. 4chan wants to make things even worse, so that so we end up feeling paranoid, hypervigilant, abandoned, and at each other’s throats. Do your best to promote your own mental health and everybody else’s, and unplug from social media when you need to.

You thought it was just a harmless meme... You thought the crown only brought joy and arousal. You thought they where crowns... you thought wrong. This is what i truly believe of the super crown. a parasite that can and will take over the world if we let this go on un-evaded! But still it would be a heck of a toboggan ride. And fyi i drew this over steam. wanted to share a speed paint video of this yet due to unforeseen circumstances the recording is an flv which i thought would work... it did not. anyway if you think these zombie princesses are good let me know.

Reblog tutorials for help

How’d you learn to draw mechas? I’ve been wanting to try that myself for a while, and I know as an artist that the only way to learn is to just Do it, but it’s so daunting! I have no idea where to begin. Do you have any advice or tips? Thank you for your time!

Okay first of all, sorry to take so long to answer. I really wanted to draw some pics for this, and the last weeks have been quite busy. 

1. Draw from the reference

Drawing is like learning a new language: You can’t say you wanna learn English and then just start making up your own words because you think that finding words in the dictionary is cheating - It doesn’t make sense. Find a super cool robot picture and try to copy it. These are called “studies” for a good reason. You’re studying the vocabulary of those drawings. Many times people don’t share their studies since it’s only for the practice. But don’t study just one person. You don’t want to become that person - you want to become better! And if you post your study online, don’t forget to credit the original artist!

2. Try different techniques

One of my favorite techniques is something I call color blocking - I’m not sure if it’s an actual term or just something I came up with. I kind of carve the silhouette of the robot with one color and then I add a second color and carve the details in. I do this also if I have a picture with lots of characters and I want to make sure everything reads correctly. But these are all personal matters. Try different techniques until you find a one that works for you. And remember to flip your canvas!!

3. Try different brushes

My favorite brushes vary, but these three are the ones I keep using more than the others. Kyle’s brush I got used to while I was working on my freelance work - it just feels good to draw with. The square one is really fun to work with in mecha designs, and the basic one also feels surprisingly good while drawing. Sometimes I just grab a new brush, start doodling, and end up with a decent piece.

4. Symmetry vs. asymmetry

This one I included especially because I’m talking about robots. Breaking up the machines with asymmetrical parts gives them more character BUT it’s important to keep the symmetry in mind. If I do a robot that has a one big arm and one small arm, I later make sure that most of the other parts are symmetrical. This way the asymmetry is the choice rather than a mistake.

5. Draw from the reference (!!!)

Yes, I added this the second time because I really feel it’s important! I use Pinterest all the time - I have a board with over 1000 pins of robots! There are paintings from my favorite robot artists, 3D models of super cool robot designs, and even photos of real robots all collected in one place. And for anyone who feels “wrong” doing this: Finding reference DOESN’T mean copying - it can be just an idea or inspiration: It’s finding the language you want to use. Sure you won’t need  the reference as much later on as you build your own “shape-vocabulary” - just like you won’t need your dictionary after you have learned the words you use.

6. It doesn’t have to be perfect

I’m never 100% happy with my work. But I have learned to say “oh well” and move on. Next time I’ll do better.

7. BE PROUD! 

Don’t talk down your own work no matter how much you’d like to. If you’re not standing behind your drawings, who will? Sure you do see the mistakes, but it’s still a great piece of art you made!

Please! Please! Give me something good
