Hey everyone!

The carrd I made inspired by this post has been updated a lot, I think you should check it out!

In "extras" you can also find a health section with a couple of recommended stretches artists should really be doing on the daily.

Look after yourselves! ☀️

A list of creative resources focusing on art and animation.

✷ Tonk's Art Resources ✷

Hi! No one asked but I wanted to make a big list of art resources I use because I like to try and help people be creative! Not everything I list is free (mostly the books & some PDFs), but I’ll try my best to keep a big portion of it unpaid.

I've also made a carrd with the same links and a set of software links + prices but I'll be updating this with more things I find that I think would be helpful. :)

Referenced Gideon from this pic of Rhea Ripley because she’s my headcanon for Gideon’s bodytype.

"Uhm…. Well… if you wake up in the morning and you say: ‘I need a mug… and a toy pig’… then yes! Yes, its a relly good place to go”

It really took me too long to finish this animation, but here is queen Ianthe being perfect again.

The audio clip is from the Locked Tomb Podcast, episode 22, where our voice acting goddess Moira Quirk explains where her take on Ianthe’s voice came from. As soon as I listened to it I just couldnt help myself, and had to animate the heck out of it.
