I can't find a title for this glorious painting of autumn Aspen, but it's by Oregon based (Ukrainian born) artist, Anton Pavlenko, and I love it 💛

If you feel demotivated bc you picked your pencil up for the first time in months and feel like your drawing sucks, do it like 5 more times. Change it. Rework it. It's actually incredible how much better you get in 1 sitting.

I want to remind everyone that if I went with my first sketches, I'd be convinced I couldn't draw. I sometimes have those feelings after my first sketches, and then remind myself to do 3-5 versions, pushing and changing the idea. And then bam I remember that it was just First Sketch Syndrome.

[2/2] COROLLARY: You don't actually need to write a whole-ass graphic novel to achieve that narrative context. You do need to know what the story *is*, but once you do, you can literally just draw contextless snapshots that raise more questions than they answer and people will fill in the blanks.

FACT: Apart from pure recognition factor, one of the major reasons your fanart gets more eyes on it than our OCs is because people are perverts for narrative context, and your OCs don't have any. [1/2]

I've been working on an essay about The Struggles of TTRPG Outreach and Fandom but I think this tumblr post just captured the whole sentiment im like 100 words.

Fact: Apart from pure recognition factor, one of the major reasons your fanart gets more eyes on it than your OCd is because people are perverts for narrative context, and your OCs don't have any.

Corollary: you don't actually need to write a whole-ass graphic novel to achieve that narrative context. You do need to know what your OC's story is, but once you do, you can literally just draw contextless snapshots from that story that raise more questions than they answer and people will fill in the blanks.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.
