I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

I made a new profile pic because recently I feel like I’ve really developed my style and wanted to show that.

A Firbolg ranger called Rembrandt ‘Remy’ Hart. Not a character I’m playing atm, but certainly one I’d like to play in the future. I hope you like it!

I have been wondering for a while why we have the uncanny valley effect. For those who do not know, the uncanny valley is the unsettling feeling we get from something that is close to looking human, but doesn’t completely do the job, deeply unsettling us, e.g. creepy dolls and animatronics. It comes from the graph displaying the familiarity or likeability of a thing the more human it looks, and before we get to fully looking like a human, we have a valley of unfamiliarity. 

I asked a person recently why those sort of things have an effect, and they said “When you know someone is lying to you, you feel strange, and the uncanny valley works in the same way. When we see something that is ‘lying’ about being human, we find it disturbing because that feeling is transformed into visual form. Our natural lie detector tells us “that’s not right” and because it’s right in front of us, that feeling is just constant and more intense due to the nature of the lie.”

So essentially, that valley of aversion that we feel only feels unsettling because it’s trying to be something we can tell it’s not. Anything before or after the valley is fine because we know it’s not trying, or can’t tell it’s trying.

90s sitcoms be like “Haha, he’s not masculine” and I’m just done with that overused borderline homophobic joke
