I thought I had this on auto-renew, apparently not! It will be back up within 24-48 hours according to my registrar.
Anyways if u still remember?? me: FFXIV had eaten me alive and I stopped posting here/on Facebook out of guilt because hey, it’s not Ash stuff!
I’ve recently come to the conclusion that that was kinda dumb. I mean art is art, people can scroll, whatever, etc etc
So it’s gonna be bunch of FFXIV stuff to catch up, maybe some Final Fantasy, and I’ll try easing myself into some shitposting - I kinda miss The Crew (and by crew I mean certain dumbasses with their murderous giant birds). I burnt out really badly on it, lesson learned guys: it ain’t worth ur health to churn out a bajillion pages/paintings.
I also kinda talk more casually on twitter? Tumblr doesn’t really lend itself to talking. Unless replies got a facelift.
Did I miss anythin big goin on here?
crawls in here
h-hewwo? y’all still around? what’s up! I hope everyone is safe thru the shitstorm that is 2020 so far!

surfi!!!! you've got me really interested in ffxiv, so after playing the trial a bit i want to buy it, but there are so many different versions? which one should I get? does it matter?
Hm are you talking about the editions, Collectors/Starter etc? Or are they named stuff like Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers?
If it’s the latter those would be the expansions, you can pick up the Starter Edition then Shadowbringers (Heavensward and Stormblood are included in it). Otherwise the collector’s editions are just the expansions with bonus loot.

Other than hundreds of hours of practice, was there anything else that helped you get better at scale and proportions?
- If I’m drawing something unfamiliar, like for example a car and someone crouching next to it, I will look up stock photos of them separately and make collages of them/copy paste them into one image.
- For stuff like people/animals if I’m having trouble I will draw studies first
- You gotta watch/pay attention to a lot of stuff when you go about your day. Like for example, sometimes when I’m standing in line getting groceries, I will imagine what the lineart for the counter with all the stuff looks like. Or how I would paint the cashier’s hand when he scans my card in. Small stuff like that. The majority of scale and proportion is remembering what makes something look right in reality
- Sighting (the thing you see artists do by holding out a pencil and squinting) is actually a thing that helps
- One specific exercise you can try would be negative space exercises:
If you’re new to drawing you might see this and go ????? there’s so many things happening at once. A basic drawing exercise is to just find the shape of the empty (negative) space. It helps train your eye to not rely on the details (which can confuse you) and judge distance correctly.
You can trace at first, but when you start drawing from reference you’ll find yourself making decisions like ‘does this line align with that other one’ or ‘does this seem too far’ and the more you do it the more you get a feel eventually for ‘this shape is maybe 2/3 of this other shape’. There’s loads of these exercises on the internet and it’s always one of the basic stuff in how to draw books.

What do Annie and Carl look like in their Valor/Mystic 2 uniforms?
Annie’s already wearing hers usually
carl doesnt wear his unless its rly needed because a) it’s not that comfortable (he needs to keep the jacket zippered up when he wears it in public) and b) it’s the most extra thing he owns
#ash lore#annie#carl#and the world will turn to ash#valor is like...top extra#i have maybe twenty perfectly serviceable suits why#because. charles. i want to match#miss candela please#also i like the thigh holster#....#and the boots#well if you like them so much why don't YOU wear them#oh charles darling bluster all you want#what are you talking about#you look really good#that is not the point of this uniform#it kind of is sweetie#jaeneal

Adaptability
Adaptability:
1. A pokemon ability that increases the power of moves of the same type as the user. Common species with this ability include porygon, basculin and eevee.
2. The ability to acclimatise efficiently and fast to changed circumstances

The umbreon tent at the Opal City Eevee And Evolutions Event is a good place to be, Go thinks, even though it’s early. The darkness means it’s refreshingly cool compared to outside, the ‘dark night’ coffees sold by the door are both delicious and immensely caffeinated, and the newly-evolved Instinct umbreons are sleeping (for once) in relative silence. It’s so early, in fact, that there’s only one other guest in this row. They’re pretty short, with red hair, lots of piercings and wait a minute-
“Uh, Amelie?”
Her eye flicks briefly towards him.
“Hello, Go.”
Oh. Great. He turns to look at what she’s eyeing.

Thanks for all the inspiration over the years, Surfi!
