In our industry today, your portfolio is your strongest asset in landing you a job. So let’s work on making it the best one possible to show off your current ability and skill level in a presentable, organized manner. There are common mistakes that I see constantly repeated when I review portfolios and throughout this lesson I let you know how to avoid them.
I also include how you should present yourself in person and with your online presence. Persistence and Tenacity are key when on the hunt to land a job in this industry, whether you are an in-house concept artist or a traveling freelancer.
So get out there and start building the best portfolio you can!
Ok so since I got my truck I’ve become super into vehicle repair and maintenance, and I’m no expert but I’m well on my way to becoming the ‘car guy’. In the process I’ve learned tons of little things that every car owner should know, but most don’t. Especially young/new car owners. So here’s my tips:
So for my fellow Northern hemisphere dwellers, it’s nearly summer. That means it is probably starting to get hot. Skirt season! Hot damn!
But YE GODS, THE THIGH CHAFING. Sweat plus friction equals pain, redness, and extremely unhappy legs. If you have experienced the dreaded ‘chub rub’, you know how much it fucking sucks.
Not anymore, bitches.
Slap on a pair of Bandelettes. They come in black, white, red, beige, and brown if you want lace – and trust me, you want lace – or black and beige if you want a solid fabric like the ones pictured above. But the lace is sexy as fuck. Trust me. Go with the lace. It isn’t the horrible and itchy stuff, it’s nice.
So what you do is you measure your thigh right at where the chafing happens, right at the thickest part of your leg. You compare that to the Bandelettes sizing chart, you pick your size, and you’re off. I bought a pair (Beige Onyx, size C) and they don’t move around on me. No slipping. But also, no digging in! I can wear these for hours and they’re still very comfy.
You slide them up into position and they just… stay there. And they protect your gorgeous thighs from the ravages of summer rubbin’.
They’re lightweight, so you don’t feel like you’re wearing a ton of extra fabric. They’re washable – handwash and hang dry, but still washable! Did I mention they’re sexy as fuck?
SEXY. AS. FUCK.
Seriously, if thigh chafing is an issue for you, try these. I am loving my pair so far.
Dude I got a black and a white pair and they are MAGIC. Get them now. Don’t just “like this so that I’ll always have this as a ref” or whatever. NOW. They look great with shorts too. The lace isn’t uncomfortable at all and it looks super cute. I have HUGE thighs and I am one size below the largest size so if you think they won’t fit you, they probably will. I’m probably gunna have a pair in every color by the time the summer is over. Get them get them get them. End of PSA
Maybe none of these peeked your interest. Maybe you’ve been wanting to create an o.c, but never really knew how to start, or you just enjoy making O.C’s.
Hell, maybe you have a Gemsona/Transformers/Southpark character that you want to create, but don’t have the energy to draw!
This part of this list is specifically for OCs and Oc building. It can also apply to developing RP characters~
I added a couple of links-((In the appearance, details, and the whole of item names section!)), and the Gemsona area-((above)), as well as the couple of Transformers and Southpark character builder links below..Basically everything I made bold, because I am complete fandom trash…
If you’re ever paranoid there’s something shady going on near you/your house etc. just play some police sirens over some speakers. If something runs, then you were right and they’re gone now.
A theropod limb moving without violating its anatomy. Notice the knee never straightens, and the ankle doesn’t flex past 90 degrees on the recovery. Perhaps most importantly for animators, notice that the toes are really important for driving the animal forward in the last 1/3 of the stride as they push off – the reason most made-for-TV dinosaur specials have dinosaurs that look like they lack mass (or worse, are floating along the ground) is because riggers and animators want to skip the toes to save time, which basically means they are cutting off a third of the propulsive stroke (and often break other joints in the process).
Hello everyone! A lot of people have been asking be about how layer mask works, so I thought I’d create a really quick intro/guide to using layer masks on Paint Tool SAI!
The file is available for free (if you enter $0 in the price!)
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message here or on twitter
Depending on how well this one does, I will make severl other guides in the future about different layer functions and such on different drawing programs! Leave a comment on the post or message me to let me know which you are interested in learning! :3
analogous colours: next to each other on the colour wheel
