I’m always overwhelmed at how butt ugly and completely empty every single mega mansion/modern massive house is. Like at least buy rows of spooky suits of armor to line your halls and tapestries with hidden doors behind them or something interesting you tacky monsters.

The most petty drama just went down in animal crossing. Violet was one of my villagers. I gave her a silk dress she liked and wore around a lot. This week she decided to move and I was like “okay bye”. check the recycle bin today after she left. THE DRESS I GAVE HER IS IN THERE.

The back legs of horses can be tough to draw. I made these simplified notes based on common mistakes I’ve seen and made myself. Note: I’m calling the before drawings “incorrect” in an anatomical sense. If you draw them that way and like it, do you.

Concept art teachers if you tell your students they’ll “never make it” that’s on you. It’s your job to give them the tools and show them the many many paths to industry work. It’s also on you to reflect and realize your way is not the only way. You’re just bad at your job 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is a really great breakdown. This artist keeps asking the important question of why would a real artist make these bizarre mistakes. The excuse that maybe it was just loosely and carelessly drawn doesn’t hold up when everything is so rendered.

when people talk about emotional abuse they've been on the receiving end of, they talk about it with the clarity that comes when you realize what it was. when you're living it, you don't see it for what it is. so stop asking why people don't just leave.
