TO THOSE MAKING NATIVE OCS

aphromanoo:

I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.

Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.

However, I’ve got your solution.

Native-Languages  is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!

Please don’t trust names like babynames.com for native names, they’re made up and often quite offensive to the cultures themselves.

your art is really great!! I was wondering which brushes you liked to use? Or if you had any tutorials/knew any for inking? thanks!!

gwyndor:

thanks a bunch! I don’t know any solid inking tutorials or have any super great advice (I tend to just colour sketches or tidy them up vs full on inking). when I intend to actually ink my sketch tends to be pretty rough because I dont enjoy having to stick to a meticulous predetermined sketch. sometimes ill work straight off a tiny upsized thumbnail. if an area proves hard to line from that ill just refine the sketch. 

the trick to inking digitally, in my opinion, is to lay lines in single confident strokes! throw them down swiftly and smoothly, and dont be afraid to poise over that ctrl+z and go for a line 20 times.

’swift and smooth’ depend of course on how your brush handles and you need to figure out the right balance for a given brush, but it’s not as annoying as it seems and its a big payoff.


brush wise, some of my settings are already in my faq so feel free to nab some more there, but I don’t mind doing another take and going over ones I currently use.

basically the only brush I use in PS is stumpy pencil. (there’s one airbrush I use for soft accents like flush on skin but it’s just a default soft brush) sometimes i change the opacity or turn on wet edges but that’s all. that’s this brush:

I don’t draw complete stuff much anymore in SAI! but I have a few more brushes I use there.

I like to use just a default pen tool with size and density by pressure switched off. when i need to colour i just flip size pressure back on:

a little softer is a plain drawing brush which I sometimes use for gentler sketching than the pen or harder shading than the brush to follow this one:

last one is so similar it hardly is worth a second mention, but. I’m fairly certain these are examples of things drawn mostly with it. its for a bit softer colouring:

psshaw:

fascianating:

wow i sure cant make tutorials

some quick notes to maybe help ppl understand how to draw guro more accurately….things 2 keep in mind……i didnt wanna put in any irl but seriously, seriously seriously if you can look at anatomy crossections and cadavers it helps so much

also im not a professional at all i’ve taken one anatomy class my sophomore year so take all this with a grain of salt

I’ll fuck a god damn steak if I want to, god dammit.

Nine Facts about Black Holes

1. The gravitational pull of a black hole can greatly slow down time itself,
according to relativity. If you could take a spaceship to a black hole,
orbit around it for awhile, and then fly back to Earth, you would have
successfully traveled to the future. 

2. Some equations suggest that every black hole contains a universe — which would mean our universe is inside a black hole right now.

3. While black holes are most definitely real, they have theoretical opposites called white holes,
which would endlessly spew matter into the universe. They were thought
to be purely hypothetical, but an unusual gamma ray burst observed in
2006 is turning out to be a potential candidate for a real-life white
hole.

4. Supermassive black holes likely exist at the centers of
most galaxies. And since galaxies sometimes collide, that means black
holes do too, and when that happens, it’s thought that one black hole ‘kicks’ the other out of the galaxy.

5. Black holes are black because their gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. But they do emit radiation, usually called Hawking Radiation, after Stephen Hawking, who first theorized its existence.

6. The Milky Way has a supermassive black hole in its center,
and it seems to have exploded about 2 million years ago in an event
known as a Seyfert flare. The radiation from the black hole would have
been 100 million times more powerful than it is now; the explosion may
have even been visible from Earth.

7. Black holes can emit material at nearly the speed of light.
Using an array of radio telescopes, a team of scientists looked at a
galaxy 1.5 billion light-years from Earth and found a black hole doing
just that. The jet is so powerful that it’s blowing gas right out of the
galaxy.

8. Black holes are the densest objects in existence. If you made a black hole with the mass of the entire Earth, the black hole would be 9 millimeters across.

9. Black holes can form when stars collapse in on themselves after death.
They keep growing by eating the dust and gas around them. No one’s
really sure how the biggest ones, called supermassive black holes, are
born.
