"It's another bad dream Poison in my blood stream I'm dying but I can't scream Will you show me the way?... It's another werewolf All dressed up in sheep's wool And changing when the moon's full Will you show me the way tonight?" ~Wolf Bite by Owl City

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

Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

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.

Spyro snoozing in the peaceful Autumn Plains world from Spyro 2 🍁🍂 This is hands down my favourite world in all of Spyro, it’s so beautiful and relaxing, I love taking in the serenity while the music lulls me to sleep ✨

Learn How To Surf fanart 🏄‍♀️🌊

A delightful Owl City song that describes a blonde with lots of quirky tattoos;

“She had that old movie quote: ‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat’, 🚤 two tiny waves on her toes, 🌊 and turtle tracks on her collar bones” 🐢“She had a shark on her arm, 🦈 a pirate shredding the gnar, 🏴‍☠️ an octopus wearing shades, 🐙 and seagull wings on her shoulder blades” 🪽

Such a silly song, it’s my favourite from the new Coco Moon album 🌙

I included some closeups! I put a lot of detail into this one 💕

Hello! For those who don’t know me I have been on long quest to complete an artwork for every Owl City song*. I thought this list might be an easy way to keep track of everything! 😊

💖2023 Art Summary💖

There isn’t much difference from the previous years unfortunately, but oh well. It was a difficult year. The important thing is I had fun with every one of these artworks 💖

Usually I’ll look at last year’s goals and write whether I accomplished them or not - unfortunately my depression messed with my motivation this year and I was barely able to achieve any of them.

But, I think it’s fair to reuse l last year’s goals. So … let’s try again:

✨2024 GOALS✨

🍓Make more cute little looping animations

🍓Try to finish the 1st chapter of my webcomic (but no pressure. It’s hard 😩)

🍓 Let’s make 2024 the year I return to regular Owl City art. Can I aim for least 1 a month? 🤞

🍓I want to experiment more with my colouring style, maybe study my favourite artists or follow tutorials 💖

2024 … please be kinder.
