I’m also a writer! I am not writing! I am following tumblr accounts!

I want to repost the Ardbert piece on here, but it’s like, what are the hidden rules of tumblr art posting (like how Twitter had all those “BEAT THE ALGORITHM” tips)?

best advice i ever got as a writer was to pick a hobby that i hated more than writing and stick with it. i’m a runner now and it’s miserable and i Hate It and writing is so lovely in comparison. bonus: i’m in excellent shape and running gives you a lot of time to think about writing. i’ve solved a lot of plot complications while running.

This is such funny advice. Writing is so excruciating, you gotta take up Self Torture so that writing feels like a fun little break 😭

i have a few resources i look to consistently but i'm gonna plug anatomy for sculptors as One Of The Most Useful. great if you're a 3D artist, INVALUABLE if you're a 2D artist. gives you turnarounds of specific limbs/fiddly body parts like ears. great especially if you're referencing a photo and start looking at an individual part like 'wait, what the hell is going on in there'

do you read dungeon meshi. have you read dungeon meshi. will you read dungeon meshi. when will you read dungeon meshi

hollow knight is 50% off on steam right now. about $7.50 USD. for seven dollars you can irreversibly rewire your brain to have hollow knight disease, which is where instead of a brain there is hollow knight
