Tutorial thing: Paws! Specifically canine and feline varieties cause a lot of people just sort of throw random paw pads on furries’ feets
without regard to the species and it drives me nuts. I’ve been guilty of
it in the past too, and I wanted to try and push for more accurate and
varied feetsies in anthro characters using this quick, hopefully-handy
guide.
AO3 actually has an external bookmarking option that allows you to create a bookmark with AO3′s usual bookmarking format, among your regular AO3 bookmarks, of a fic on any other platform- LJ, ff.net, or whatever other website you please. I feel like it’s a suuuuuper underutilized function, so you should definitely all check it out:
If you go to your bookmarks page, you’ll see this option up near the top right, right under the search bar:
“Bookmark External Work.” That’ll take you to this page…
Which allows you to enter all the information about a fic that you would normally enter on AO3- the link, the author’s name, title, author’s summary, fandoms, rating, tags, etc. You’re basically creating a mini little AO3 file for that fic, so you can keep it handy with all your other bookmarks.
Anyways- I just wanted to make this post since I know there are a ton of amazing fics on LJ and other platforms, and it can be frustrating trying to keep everything organized between platforms when you just want to see all your faves in one place, so here’s a little PSA that’ll hopefully make that a bit easier.
This is a breakdown of how Glowfox does his head drawings, this can vary depending on your style so don’t be afraid to play with it with your own notes
So recently I came across a fellow artist who was struggling to find a free art program, and considering dropping the large amount of money for a Photoshop license. I know not everyone can afford such an expensive program, so I’ve compiled a list of programs with no cost to download and use.
Keep in mind all computers are different, so not all will work for everyone. Also, I’ve only ever used Windows, so for the most part, I’m not sure if everything will work for Mac. if in doubt check the website linked.
If you know more free programs, please add onto this!
OpenToonz has made many improvements since it’s initial release! (Windows & Mac)
