A drawing of two stylized tigers. One is an adult with a pink palette and the other is a cub with a blue palette. They are both snarling and the adult tiger is standing protectively around the cub with its claws drawn. Text above reads: protect trans kids!

Burnout is an injury. We’ve all been told that a good night’s sleep or a weekend or even a week on a beach should heal us entirely and let us jump back into the situation that was harming us.

It helps a little but that just isn’t so.

A stamped print of a vase with flowers (tulip, rudbeckia, lily of the valley) sitting on a yellow table. A bee is flying over them with dashed lines behind it. A simple cat is drawn in ink between the stems, climbing down, smiling. Blue text underneath reads "2025".

A stamped print of a green snake in a zig zag shape, facing right. They're smiling, with tongue out. Inside the snake (as though they've eaten it) are a yellow apple, 2, 0, a yellow pear, a yellow four leaf clover, 2, a sparkle, 5, and !. 2025 is in red.

It's finally done! 🤍✨

I've tagged and archived ALL 670+ of our free pose references! These are the references you see me post to socials, including our Pinterest.

This library will be updated each pack launch, and more filters will be added. It's just a little library for now, but she'll grow.

I stg learning zbrush sometimes is like: 'oh you want to change this brush? Well you're going to need to open the bleepo tab, then navigate down to zerk, you'll need to answer riddles three, do a backflip and then take out a mortgage. Oh! Now it crashed sorry you're gonna need to start over'
