Hannibal's Damsel In Distress Moments In Twotl When Will Had To Come To The Rescue Twice. Love That For

Hey this is kind of miscellaneous, but as a replacement for fanboy/fangirl, i coined fanby (alt spelling: fanbie or fanb) and fanenby (alt spelling: fanenbie). Distinctly queer, as it's derived from nb/enby (nonbinary), but can be used as a gender-neutral term as well. Can be used as a direct replacement for either fanboy or fangirl (i.e. used as a noun, verb, wherever fanboy/fangirl would go)

New words are always welcome :) added!

Do NOT trust Anne Rice

Hello, Vampire Chronicles fans.

Sit down. We need to have a chat.

You see, while some people are very much excited for a new show about our pompous king of the assholes (and I say this as a term of endearment, having loved Lestat since I was a depressed teenager living in New York, shuffling through my mom’s fiction section) we need to pause and remember this:

Anne Rice does not support fan fiction or anything that is not glowing praise.

Read it again, slowly.

Anne Rice does not support fan fiction or anything that is not glowing praise.

This is difficult for younger fans to understand, but let’s take a walk down memory lane.

She has threatened to sue writers in the past. She is one of the most prolific writers of our generation, and she does not support people using her characters for their own work.

In fact, in 2000 she went on a binge-attack against her fans. She threatened legal action against fans who wrote or drew her characters, but especially those who wrote with them. She sent them weeks of harassing letters and doxxed them on the internet.

Let me repeat that.

She doxxed people who wrote fan fiction.

She harassed them online and threatened to contact employers.

She used her fans to outright attack other fans.

This isn’t even something she can just shake off now, with the comment of “It was so long ago” because she did this to a writer who wrote commentary on her story in 2013.

In 2013.

While it was not that she wrote fan fiction, she still shows that she has no respect for people who are in fandom.

Remember those disclaimers used in fan fics, at the beginning? “I do not own …. ”? Yeah, a lot of that has to do with the fact that Anne Rice and others like her would attack fandoms and threaten them, and was in hopes that they would just leave us alone. She didn’t.

In short: Do not trust Anne Rice. I love her writing, I have read every book she has even written, but I do not trust her.

You shouldn’t, either.

Someone asked how I do the glowy thing, soooo, here’s some how to do the glowy thing in Manga Studio. :3

More practice with Ann!!!

one art trick i learned in college that i dont think i see being talked about online that often: measure things out using your pencil & fingers

like bring up your pencil as a straight edge to figure out the angle of certain things- if this is IRL hold it up to line up to where the objects angle is, if its on your screen line it up to the screen like this

and, this way you can also figure out relative distances

for instance here, the distance between dafoe's eyebrow and hairline here (on that line) is the same as the distance between his chin and the collar of his shirt at a different angle. by using a straight~ish "line" of an object like a pencil or your finger, it's easier to have a visual reference to track how far apart these things are.

you can also multiply these or use halves to a similar effect- for instance, dafoes shoulder here is 2 1/2 of his forehead, approximately

this way- when you're doing a study or using a reference, you can check to see if these relative distances are the same in your own drawing. this way, you can really maximize your studies and make sure you're art is relatively proportionally accurate to your reference image.
