Can't wait for the submersible DLC

I say this with affection: the Honor & Glory guys are absolutely fucking insane. They’re going on? Eight years of work now? With the eventual end goal of recreating every inch of Titanic in painstaking historic detail. There used to be an actual game planned for the environment as well but I think at this point it’s 100% about the ship.

Godspeed, you lunatics. Hopefully my computer will be able to handle the end product.

WOW! THE OG POST!

i will let my mind go wild with these knowing i’ll finally be able to credit the original artist

EEEE FINALLY THE ORIGINAL ARTIST

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of decoden and polymer clay questions about what to use to as a gloss/glaze. Almost every time the first response is “Clear nail polish, duh!”.

This needs to stop if people want to be creating quality items. Sometimes I’m afraid to buy handmade things for fear that they have been sealed with clear nail polish and they will deteriorate over time. I want to buy things that will last!

I’ve reblogged this before - but it’s sooooo important. crafting signal boost 

Oh jeez, I didn’t even know that was a thing. No - never use nail polish thats a horrible idea. 

Making this guide because I see this question time and time again on here. This post is mostly directed at white artists and writers who are wondering how to best design their characters of color. Full text description is at the end under the cut.

Full disclaimer, I am biracial (mixed E/SE asian and white) and grew up in majority poc communities, but I am just one person and this post is only based on my own experiences. If any other poc want to chime in, feel free to do so.

Once again, a full plaintext description is under the cut. If you find the information useful, please pass it on by reblogging <3

(Finally, even though I spoke vaguely on genetic inheritance, this is NOT the place to comment on certain features being mutations, as if being a mutation means something is inherently lesser or isn’t supposed to exist. Mutations is everything! All of our traits were at some point or another, an emerging mutation. Love yourself ^__^)

Keep reading

wanted to add: the majority of white people have brown eyes and brown/black hair. it’s very common for white people to not have any light-eye genes to pass to their children. so if your character’s white parent has dark hair/eyes, it’s almost certain that your character will as well.

also research what eye/hair color mutations are common for your characters ethnicity (ex. blue eyes in Indian people, blonde hair in Melanesian people, red hair in Amazigh people). if a gene doesn’t occur in both the white and the non-white side of your characters ancestry, the chances of it occurring on your mixed-with-white character are almost zero. a half-white half-Indian character with blue eyes is realistic because both groups have the blue eye mutation in the gene pool. but what would be even more realistic is if that character had brown eyes, because not only are brown eye genes present in both populations, they’re both dominant genes and both are present in the majority of their respective populations.

this is not to detract from op’s point, though. brown eyes are beautiful and romantic and soul-piercing. light eyes are upheld as a standard of beauty, and your fiction is influenced by the world around you. let mixed characters have dark eyes. let characters described as beautiful, stunning, handsome etc have dark features.

This is a perfect addition, thank you! Yes, my guide is very basic and very broad, I would suggest that people do research into the *specific* ethnicities of their characters in all cases.

I also want to take the opportunity to clarify some stuff:

- I wrote this guide primarily with half-white biracial people in mind, or where both parents are monoracial. Being a poc does not mean you need to have dark skin, dark eyes, and dark hair, especially if you’re a broad mix of stuff, but if one parent has dark brown/black hair and eyes this guide should be able to apply.

- I may have underestimated slightly the prevalence of blue/green/grey eyes in poc. Pretend the guide says “rare” instead of “very rare” lol. Ultimately, this was a response to white authors and artists over-representing biracial people with super light features in media, which is the main problem I wanted to address. (Or even making a character half-white for the purpose of being “able” to give them light features.) Even though it might not seem like a big deal if you just give one of your poc characters green or blue eyes, or ginger or blond hair, the fact is that this uncommon trait is one that so many people choose because of how interesting or unusual it looks, which means that biracial people with more “common” brown/dark brown features don’t really… get to see people like them.

If anyone wants to hear accounts from biracial people on their and their parents’ features, the tags are full of great comments :-) Thanks to everyone who has enjoyed my guide so far!

disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

I LOVE this post and wanted to add some additional info, cause I see a lot of people who assume that drawing asian hair is the same as drawing white hair. This is not the case! There’s more to it than just the color.

Image description for the original post and my addition are underneath the read more at the end.

Thank you for reading! Once again, image description for my images and OP’s images are under the cut.

Just like OP, I’m only one single person, so if anyone wants to correct me or add something I missed, then go for it. And further disclaimer, there are exceptions to everything I’ve said in this post, and it only applies to East and Southeast asian people who are either not mixed or white-mixed, as those are the hair types I’m most familiar with.

Edit: AUGH I FORGOT TO mention this but @ everyone in the comments talking about blue eyes on biracial asians, here’s another guide I made that goes over color inheritance for biracial people: https://6480n.tumblr.com/post/633074808569069568/making-this-guide-because-i-see-this-question-time

OK WAIT SO IF POC GET STRICTER SENTENCES IN COURT… AND IF WOC ARE MORE AT RISK OF MISCARRIAGE AND GENERAL MALPRACTICE… AND IF SEX EDUCATION IS WORSE IN INNER CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS… AND IF RACIAL HOUSING DISCRIMINATION IS PRACTICED BY 85% OF REAL ESTATE AGENTS… AND IF SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE FUNDED VIA PROPERTY TAXES WITHIN EACH DISTRICT… HOLD ON………. WAIT A MINUTE

This is what we mean by systemic racism

For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me - there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.

It’s got an almost endless range of furniture, doors, windows, stairs etc and is easy to use. In addition to that, you don’t have to install anything and if you create an account (which is free) you can save and return to your houses.

Examples (all done by me):

Here’s an example for how you can use it

Great find, thanks!

OMG HEAVEN!!

Bless you!!!!

Men get pegged as shallow a lot, but in my real life experience, women are more shallow than men. 

A lot of the men I’ve talked to don’t care if a woman has some extra weight, or is taller than them, or doesn’t have flawless skin. And even more men prefer women who don’t wear a lot of make up. (Not that I’m saying make up is bad, I love make up.)

I’ve noticed a lot of women, on the other hand, won’t date guys who are shorter than them (that’s a really popular one), or they have some other physical standard they expect. 

Yet we ostracize men who have standards and applaud women who do. Those men are shallow while those women are strong independent “don’t need no man” types. 

The hypocrisy is pretty amusing, to say the least.

Men get pegged

I honestly stopped reading at “men get pegged” and I was like “they sure do”

I’m glad neither of you took the time to read one person’s opinion. What is reading comprehension or textual analysis anyways? Worried it might pop your bubble? Grow up.

I honestly stopped reading at “I’m glad” and was like “good for you”

i’m so glad we all stopped at “men get pegged” i read that then immediately scrolled to the end of this post to make this comment
