i think it might be a good idea, when you’re designing a villain, if you look at them and think “why do these characteristics make me think of them as villainous” and like, if those characteristics reflect groups of real-life marginalized people….maybe, don’t go with those design choices?

Entirely apart from the general awfulness, something that gets me about the media reports of Russian psyops on Tumblr is how ridiculously low their reported reach is. “Hundreds of thousands of interactions”? Like, this blog gets half a million notes a month. If the reported figures are accurate, I personally have more influence upon Tumblr’s culture than the entirety of the Russian government, and I’m just some random shitposter from Canada

I often get asked how to create compelling creature designs based on real world animals. So here are my 🔥hot🔥 tips- 1.) Draw inspiration from as many organisms as possible. I always use a minimum of three. This keeps any one feature from being too prominent in your final design. 2.) Try to focus on indistinct aspects of your inspiration, like posture, or the shape of their spine/head/limbs. Don’t replicate any part of the original animal’s body completely.  3.) Choose a variety of organisms as your inspiration. A tiger and a lynx might seem like a cool combo, but your resulting neo-kitty might not stand out against other more inventive designs. 4.) Have fun! The rules of biology are your playground, and you can disregard the limits of reality as you please. A good example is in the mirroring of the fins on the second creature. Doubling limbs or other body parts to create visual flair or complexity is A-Okay! I did the same thing with the claws in the final frog-trex-crab, exaggerating the shape and symmetry of its claws. Creature design is an excuse to explore and experiment. Don’t hold back. That’s all I got for now! Suggest three animals that you think would make a good combo, and I’ll try to create a creature based on them.  Follow me on Instagram for more monsters!!
