Abi in β€œIdentity: A Trans Coming Out Story”

This video came out 5 years ago today πŸ’– I thought my life would be over the day this video dropped but it was just the beginning. Thank you all so much for walking with me on this journey πŸ₯°

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

An artwork by Spindle of the character Ev, a blonde rabbitfolk woman sitting next to Jaq, a black-haired half-elf woman. Ev is taking a cigarette from Jaq while sitting and simmering in anger (due to her not getting the promotion she so wanted), meanwhile Jaq, her assistant, is trying to offer her support but is scared shitless of Ev

Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Title: Hair Tips
(Note: EXTRA mean stuff that aren't in the image)

Body: (left to right/ top to bottom)
1 - Sketch mainly focuses on big shapes, then add in small strands. 
EXTRA: Don't worry too much about perfecting the lines in the sketch layer, because you'll be drawing over them anyway later. Just have the main shape you want. Start with big shapes, then add in smaller shapes/lines.

2 - Simple flat colours

3 - Basic shading:
   > Bright + Saturation on both top and bottom
   > Darker in the middle
EXTRA: This is mostly a style thing, I don't always follow it myself, so you can mix and match and just do whatever here really, just a basic gradient for now is good.

4 - Basic rendering + blending
EXTRA: I use a flat thin regular brush for this part to blend in the gradients and add some separation in strands, but it's okay to be muddled here as well, the magic comes later.

5 - Over the line-art, draw thin strands by colour picking corresponding[ly] to the area you're [drawing] the strand in. 
EXTRA: spelling mistakes lesgooo. Anyway, for this part, the strands shouldn't be too big (you can use a very generic brush for this really, I just use a flat one sometimes, and sometimes a round brush). The strands you add here give volume and depth to the hair. Add them in accordance with the flow of the hair, but don't be shy to go against the flow sometimes (stray hairs), and the most important part is to outside the hair shape from the sketch by a little bit.

6 - Add in even thinner strands over the line-art and use them for highlights. Side note: I increased the top and bottom saturation using the overlay layer.
EXTRA: same as the previous step, just use much thinner strands (sparingly) to add highlights, and for little stray hairs, going against the flow here is usually better to make the hair volume pop out more! 

Experiment and have fun!

annotated crop of the genAI door image used in the above photoshop message. the door is somehow mounted open and perfectly centre under the doorframe, and there are hinges not actually mounted to anything on the same side as the door handles.

the feature image they're using to promote paying for their genAI credits can't even get a door right. this is downright embarassing

i do wanna yap about this for a bit. My characters (trans or otherwise) were never really created with their gender/sexuality first, pretty much all of them were created in writing and explored them, and the "vibe" I get is what I go for- as in, I go for what the character themselves give me
