Beautiful detail of a painting. I’ve been watching my brother play The Last of Us and the relationship between Ellie and Joel is so sweet. *Feels* I think I’m a major nerd for seeing this painting and instantly thinking of Ellie and Joel, but I’m okay with that.

Part TwoMARTHAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Poking fun at history is the best! ^____^
This gif is so pretty and there’s a lot of going on it. It’s rather fascinating. ^_^
These photo’s are from a book called: “Make that the cat wise.” by Jacob & Haver. The book is written by dutch people who translate literally everything from Dutch exact into English, the sentences are often Dutch sayings. Like the title “make that the cat wise” is said when somebody knows a person is lying and tells you to make that the cat wise. It creates hilarious scenarios. I have explained the first three.
Photo one: “spring is in the air” the Dutch say that when spring arrives. It’s a saying. Spring is also a Dutch word but it means “jump”. So that’s why the guy says: “No, do it self” which means that you must “jump” yourself.
Photo two: The Dutch exact translation for vacuum cleaner is ‘dustsucker’, so when the British say vacuum cleaning the Dutch say dustsucking. The sentence is in Dutch grammar which makes absolutely no sense in English or any other language. ‘I hear the TV not.’ means (as you may guess) ‘I can’t hear the TV.’
Photo three: In Dutch, the (offensive) word for lebian is ‘pot’. The Dutch call a potter a potbaker but ‘pot’ means ‘lesbian’ the Dutch call it a lesbiansbaker. Being someting in ‘heart and kidney’ means that you are good at doing someting and love to do it too.
Ha ha ha Pancake!
Hee hee, someone should write this fan fic, all comedy of errors!
I can see Castiel being like what’s a hot tub? Sam being like, actually we were planning to make a huge supernatural scrying pool— and the bathroom had the most water—- Then Dean being like, I figured it was a good idea with a six pack and feisty ladies—- but it deteriorated fast *sigh* so fast.
the only happy memory with their daddy is an au, great.
I CANT OMFG I JUST ACTUALLY BURIED MY FAE CUZ THIS IS SO FRIGGIN CUTE

There’s someone killing transgender males and females on Woodward I believe between 6 and 8 mile but to be safe I would avoid the entire area. Please spread this even if you’re not from the area because some of your followers might be.
Stay safe.

I have never wanted to be a playstation 4 this badly before.
Loneliness
I realised that most of the stories I’ve written have always dealt with the concept of being alone; never as a bad thing, though the worst it can be is melancholic, but as a trait that somehow belongs to the main characters which they have accepted as part of their being. I could then easily how it echoed the experience of most of my entire life, being a very lonely child who kept to herself. I’m still the same person essentially, I still have mental conversations with myself (I think I’m a very funny conversationalist; too bad my social anxiety prevents most people other than my friends from enjoying it), but I’ve accepted this constant trait of being alone and managed to turn it into something that opens doors for me to experience the world in ways I wouldn’t have noticed (try being in a field looking at the clouds passing by! That’s my positive association with being alone).
Being in an age where everyone is connected everywhere and talking to everyone every time (Facebook, anyone?), it can make us more afraid of being alone than we already naturally are. We all have a need to belong to each other. At the same time though we need to learn how to belong to ourselves, and personally I find that it’s a very important especially with so many things going on we could very easily lose ourselves. Having a rich inner life is just as important as having a rich outer life, and they both inform each other.
*I may have jumbled up loneliness and being alone as being the same thing. Yeah I know!! It’s just how I experienced it; sometimes I really hate how I’m unable to easily make friends, which often makes me feel negatively isolated especially in a new environment (I was ALONE in college for a year until I found my clique). It’s terrible. But still things worked out in the end. Until it does though, make a friend out of yourself in the meantime.

Joy! This is adorable.
Iqbal Masih was four years old when his father sold him into slavery. He was forced to work more than twelve hours a day. He was constantly beaten, verbally abused, and chained to his loom by the carpet factory owner, before escaping at 10.
There’s also an organization called Free the Children that was started by a 12 year old named Craig Kielburger back in 1995, when he found out about Iqbal’s murder and started fighting for the same things he did.

A good interview to revisit today:
Work progress gif for Leave it Broken :D
I forgot to mention in the gif, but the character, layer overlay, and paint over was done in Paint tool SAI and then edited in Photoshop.
I made a tutorial a while back on how to integrate 3D backgrounds to help speed up the drawing process for comic artists. Check it out if you’re interested. :DOn one hand, this is worse than tracing. This is cheating of the highest order, anybody who uses sketchup should be hanged.
On the other hand I’ve never been worth half a shit at backgrounds, and how much can I honestly expect of myself?
On the third hand, nothing I say will ever get me to use this before I’ve learned to do it in my head.
Ok, I am getting tired of people calling using 3D as “cheating”.
Cheating? Cheating at what? If I entered a draw-background-from-imagination contest, then yeah, this is cheating. But the goal here is to illustrate a graphic novel in a reasonable time. I don’t hear people calling Pixar movies cheating. Why don’t they draw everything by hand? Oh wait, it’ll take a million years before a movie comes out.
I’m not trying to gain false praise so people can say “Oh wow, look how well she can draw backgrounds!” If that were the case, why the hell would I show the work progress and even make a tutorial? People need to keep in mind that different artists have different goals. Yours may be to perfect drawing everything from imagination, mine happens to be to illustrate a story before I’m 70 because unlike Pixar, I am a one woman team doing research, paying rent, and working on 2 graphic novels at the same time. (though this story won’t be released until 2013).So if you think I should be hanged for that, then you need to seriously open up your mind. Artists aren’t clones programmed to have one goal in mind. That’s not saying we shouldn’t try to improve ours skills without 3D, because it will come in handy for many other situations. I honestly wouldn’t be able to integrate 3D and 2D if I didn’t learn how to draw everything in 2D the old fashioned way. Sketchup just speeds up the process.
So before you closed mindedly shut off the potentials of 3D, ask yourself, what are your goals as an artist, and what’s the best way to get there? Is it to practice until you can show off and say “look at all the backgrounds I can draw without Sketchup!” or is to create something greater than an image about skills? Pixar did, and they seem pretty damn successful to me.
End rant.
you can just tell the person who made that ridiculous “cheating” comment has never touched 3D software in their life.
"anybody who uses sketchup should be hanged." holy fucking shit sit down go outside stop calling for lynchings because you don’t like someone’s choice of tools??? fucking hell
lmao yeah when I worked at the illustration studio in the Uk we did stuff like this all the time. it’s just…… a technique? like get into the fucking mindset that illustration is a trade, a business, and you have deadlines to meet and everything has got to be done as fast as possible to as high finish as possible.
people who consider this cheating wouldn’t last very long at a real studio, just saying.Not only that, but in concept art and visdev speed is sometimes more important than execution. Even stock photos are fair game when it comes to paintovers because the goal is DESIGN and not “Hey look at this amazing BG I pulled out of my sparkling butt.”
Like not having those skills yet does not make you a cheater, and also paintovers and 3D rendering can actually HELP you to better improve on them.
Y’all need to chill.
This is genius! I have to give this a try as soon as I get photoshop what not set back up on my laptop.
Racist Chants From The Crowd Brought This Soccer Star To Tears | Political Blind Spot
Mario Balotelli, the star striker for the Italian soccer club AC Milan was brought to tears during an away game at Napoli on Saturday. Reports from many of those in attendance say that his reaction was due to racist chants directed at him by huge sections of the crowd.
Antiblackness is a world wide problem.
remeber that Italian LGBT campain with only white people, and when somebody on tumblr point it out all of you motherfuckers were like “BUT THERE ARE NO BLACKS IN ITALY SO SHUT UP NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT RACISM OMFG” yes, yes there are pieces of shit, and Italy is one of the most racist country in Europe when it comes to Black people, so they fucking need representation, they need to be everywhere there bc srsly there’s ALWAYS stuff like that happening there like every goddamn time.
defend balotelli at all costs
I heard about this happening. Poor Balotelli I wish I could give him a hug. II’ve heard racist jeering from football fans happening multiple times. I’ve seen signage that is anti-racism I hope this campaign goes on and gains more success.
This book arrived in the mail this week. It’s fantastic. There’s so much visual information about Byzantine and Arab naval warfare that is so difficult to find reference for. I love it! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/147280757X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1422511561&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=514In0tgN6L&ref=plSrch
Dude, that is gorgeous thank-you for sharing!
