@itscookiebear last I checked was on DND, so i'm gonna post this and not disturb them. I hope they like it when they see it^^^

some artist's notes for this: I saw "growth control" on the submittion form, looked on Google and found like, weed killer so I assumed that was a mistake so I didn't add that.
she has cow ears, tail, and lil cow horns
her skirt has hearts on them, i've seen the heart emoji become popular on here recently lol so I drew some cartoony hearts and the Japanese hiragana is quite literally the word for heart.
also, since my OG pen ran outta ink I had to use a cheap ball point pen for her I hope it's not too bad looking

@ellaestjinkoo

ok, some artist's notes for this: I felt regular gloves wouldn't go with her jean skirt, so I gave her fishnet gloves. the bi pridestar belt chain is pretty small so I added some big hearts to the skirt itself, and I gave her hair some stripes to match her tail so it didn't feel super out of place.

1. how does the bust ACTUALLY work in clothing and not on like, an anatomy ref sheet?

a common misconception I see is that a chest is ALWAYS prominate. when i'll be honest, it depends on the top and how much fat they have and where the fat is stored (we'll get to the fat storage thing in a bit) for a bust to be super visible and prominate out the bust needs to be big, and the shirt/top should be made out of thinner material and not be super baggy.
i know you'd like an irl example because I feel like it's hard to believe for some people so here you go:

the hellava boss shirt with how I posed was likely a shitty example due to my weirdass pose, but irl it's baggy and made from good, thick fabric and makes my top-heaviness basically invisible. whereas the cheap ahhh thinner fabric, size small top from Walmart makes me seem pretty top heavy.

if you've noticed, I assume the fabric of the girl's tops in the request thingy is thick and I tend to draw things a tad oversized and not super tight mixed with the fact of the body type requested, and the angle I draw them at, they tend to appear to not have any bust at all because of that.
(some of the requests did want a large bust but I haven't gotten to those yet 🥹)

wtf is fat-storage?

fat storage is how much fat is stored in part of the body, I made up the term but it's important if you wanna draw characters with over-exagerated features in particular, basically someone with a ton of fat can store it in different places like, in their thighs, bottom, making their torso look like a pear.

or if there's a ton of fat maybe you give her a chubby tummy and bigger upper arms?

or maybe there's not a ton of fat on here so she is skinny/thin so her thighs are small and her torso is more like a box or maybe she's got a small waist so despite being thin her body is shaped more like an hourglass.

basically use the concept of fat to play around with placement and size of body parts, if you wanna draw over exaggerated bodies, a good thing to look at would be total drama island, the body types are over exaggerated and would be good as reference.

female skeleton vs. male reference

this should help give you the idea of what men vs. women look like, while this is kinda inaccurate for medical use, it's good at showing some diffrences between the two
and i'll put another one here
obviously, not like, medically accurate, but it's good for reference.

look for refrance images for what you're looking for, DO NOT TRACE OR USE AN ANATOMY WOMAN BASE.

people will trace other people's art or use like, Ibis paint woman bases all the time instead of learning how to
i've even seen people pay damn good money for a commission and someone will trace something instead of learning how to draw poses or bodies.
don't become like that. instead, use a reference image, don't trace it, just draw what you see, another reason tracing is awful is because it tends to look awful (some people can trace good I suppose, but I hardly see any well-traced art)
and it can look like a mismatch to your art style as well.

so like, find an image you like, draw what you see, don't trace over it.

idk I hope this helps tbh

@xenth

@B0OK-BFD1A 's request. had to remake topic btw

Spoiler

also, my camera altered the colors :c

I think imma draw angle cake or gingersnap next^^^

how i grew up i was treated like everybody else, no special treatment no nothing. people in my life want to put me on disability (basicly, i get money from the government) and put me into a grouphome program that will try to get me an apartment when im like 20. i don't like this bc i do not need it and this would take these resources away from those who need them more. i do have a physical disability that means i cant drive so i'd go on disability for that but not my autism. i don't need to go to a grouphome that'll teach me how to do laundry and like bathe, no offense but i genuinely do not need help, i actually hate help like that bc i makes me feel like everybody thinks im stupid. and then there's two groups of people with autism im afraid people will lump me in with,

1. people who do vile shit and its somehow ok.

like lolcows and other people who hurt kids, if you have the capacity to do something like that you have the capacity to take accountability you chomo.

2 the person who acts entitled online and will call you an abilst biggot for anything and everything.

it reminds me a lot of the people who see something like the horrific crime a trans person did to a Christian school and assume all lgbtq people are all monsters so end up becoming super homophobic, i think thats what some people think when they see those people and at this point i don't even wanna say im autistic bc of ts. all i've ever wanted to do is be treated normal instead of people babytalking me or taking advantage bc they think im too dumb to notice....
but the phrase ''the mentally challenged girl'' clings to my mind forever now and i wish i was never daignosed.

gomen-ごめん→ i'm sorry: something minor, like realizing your text message duplicated due to a glitch.

gomene-ごめね→i'm so sorry : something more serious like, saying, " i'm so sorry i didn't show up last night, i was out of town"

gomenasai-ごめなさい→forgive me:you did something truly terrible, like you forgot to feed your friends gold fish the enter time your best friend was at comiccon and now he needs to decide if he wants to flush lil goldie or bury him next to his childhood dog blu

create my magical boy political satire yaoi and my unhinged dating sim and the game I did have a dev team for but it didn't work out (this one was about an Amazon basics femboy trying to find a big strong man to love him and it goes HORRIBLY WRONG and the game is a parody of gay, femboy and Twink stereotypes) and post it all on new grounds and the magical boy yaoi would be on YouTube as well as new grounds.

and for the second, I wanna get decent health insurance as an adult from a job or something and get a neroligest, so I can get anticonvulsants so maybe I can watch things like anime and cartoons normally.

Martin Luther King Jr was a man who fought for freedom for everyone, regardless of the color of their skin. Think today about how much this man has impacted your life, gone but never forgotten;

Martin Luther King Jr Day.

Martin Luther King Jr was born on 15th January 1929, although the American holiday falls on the 3rd Monday of each year which means it could be celebrated between the 15th and 21st of January. He is the only person other than George Washington to have an American national holiday, even though he isn't a President.

But anyway lets get into his life

Martin, then known as Michael King Jr, was raised in Georgia. His father, Michael King Sr was a pastor who eventually changed his and his sons name to 'Martin' and added 'Luther' to it.

As a child, Martin jr experianced a lot of racism, the first incedent being when he was 6 years old and was unable to attend the same school as his white childhood frind. He also frequently had to give up his seat to white people on buses and even had to be served at the back of a shoe shop, just for being different.

Martin jr was very intelligent and managed to get into college at 15, then he later studied at a seminary and learned about Mahatma Gandhi, an indian human rights activist who fought using peaceful protest (speeches and non-violent demonstrations, etc.), which really inspired Martin Jr in his own work.

After Martin Jr graduated from high school and college, he founded the Civil Rights Movement in 1955, with the first action he took being planning the bus boycott of 1955 in Alabama, which, although resulting in his arrest, meant people were no longer segregated on city buses. Over the next 12 years, he made over 2500 speeches and was imprisoned 30 times, but he never gave up.

In 1963, he delivered his most famous speech, "I have a dream," to an audience of 250,000 outside the White House. Shortly after that, the Civil Rights act was passed, making racial discrimination illegal in America. In 1964 he recieved the Nobel Peace Prize for his peaceful effort to achieve equality.

While it did promote equality, his work was frowned upon by most. J. Edgar Hoover, Head of the FBI at the time, investigated Martin due to his left-wing sentiment and suspected he had communist ties. Hoover ordered he be spied on and Martin was even sent an anonymous letter from one of these agents, he figured out that they were trying to push him off the edge, so he ignored it.

His dream of equality was and is very close to being achieved, but sadly, in 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. He died at only 39 years old on the ninth of April 1968

His strong will persisted after his death, even through far right america at the time. His well-known "I Had a Dream" speech moved a lot of people and continues to have an impact today.

Without him, people of colour would face a lot more prejudice and discrimination than they do today, so we should all be thankful for the incredible work he did to make his dream a reality and continue to fight against racism.

Quotes

These are just a few quotes from Martin Jr that I wanted to include

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that"

"If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl- but by all means keep moving"

Regardless of anyone's personal beliefs, MLK was an extraordinary individual who focused on equality and always believed that everyone deserved a chance in the world, no matter their skin color, race, ethnicity, or sexuality.

im going out ofstate to a funeral Saturday, but currently im using hotspot rn bc the wifi didn't get payed. i'll be online more soon. im very sorry if i have you think'n im ghosting you if your my friend dms and your posts

in Michigan, they want to passed a bill to ban adult content, but included depictions of trans people, this is refuring to content online. "punishable by imprisonment for not more than 20 years or a fine of not more than $100,000.00 or both" -that is a derect quote btw.
if a site has more than 100 pieces of prohibited material you're looking at 25 years in jail or a fine of $125,000.00or both. this is just [censored] sad. whats next? i feel like this is a precursor to something similar that happened to jews back in the 30s... also, because this site has transgender content, will we have to ban people in that state? i'm not saying i think we should, but due to the bill we might have too. i am deaply sorry for everyone there who them or there kin that will be affected by this. i do apologize if this is sensitive subject matter but if we get to talk about charlie kurk i think deleting/banning/locking this would be hypocritical.

David was alone in his bed, lost in thought. how could he be feeling this?... is it wrong? this man is trying to kill his money maker. he lay on his smart mattress that cost more than most people make in a month and he just felt alone. numb. he wished he had someone to love, and someone to love him back, that was why he was trying to make a dating service but now he began to think this man, and his weird moldy musty perfume musk has stolen his heart and he didn't know how to get it back. he loved this man more than his lambos and free easy money from robux. he needed this man in his life but he didn't know why.
'' 愛して。。。愛してる。。'' he mumbled under his breath. he knew he'd have to confess soon.

@TH4TTR4N5F3M_VA I mean, it's a forum, walls of text aren't out of the ordenary

I think the LGBT's policing other LGBT's is insane to me in particular because like, why are you policing their identity or how they choose to present themselves if you likely get that treatment yourself?

like you might say you identify as a transfem and somehow you got someone telling you that you should use a different flag instead of like, the traditional trans flag in your bio and because you're not using the trans fem flag you are now a transphobe and must be blacklisted from every LGBT space.

like bro... when I see stuff like that all I can think of is the spider man meme of him pointing to his clone.

imo, it's up to the individual to decide what represents them, and it doesn't matter what flag or term they use. you arguing with a pan person as an Omni person over what's the "approperate" term is stupid, the pan person should be allowed to be pan and you should be allowed to be Omni. you do not need to try to call the other person homophobic for not using the "right" label and you yourself can't see into their head so how do you know what they are and aren't?
