Stock Photos - Blog Posts

How I feel doing my school work even though I'm sick, malnourished, sleep deprived, cramping and dehydrated:

i saw a post on my dash with image sites that basically was like “it’s okay to use pictures off pinterest etc. for your edits because it’ll be hard for the original photographer to find and sue you,” which, um, made me a bit annoyed, so here is a list of 100% free stock photo sites, many of which have quite aesthetic-y photos! please do not steal photos in your work, guys!

I get quite a few questions about where I find my stock images that are used in live previews so here’s a list of my favourite (all can be found on the resources page). Most of these are free to use on personal and commercial projects but double check the licenses before use.

HAPPY (super fucking late) VALENTINES DAY!!!!

(art + bonus under cut)

sorry for getting this in so late lol. i had wanted to do this all week (the first image), but never started because “i always have tomorrow!” and adhd… very much also adhd.

and it was supposed to be a lot better than some crappy meme format looking shit, but whatever. im actually pretty happy with how bill came out, though i wish i could’ve made it look like he was actually stretching and pulling at the shirt, instead of… whatever he’s doing in the picture.

and mike was supposed to be fully drawn out, not just the “:D” but i wanted to draw him in a more realistic style ive been trying lately, (but obv that didn’t work), and i wanted him to be like clenching his fist at his sides, smiling and giggling like a dork, all while trying not to bounce up and down with autistic joy. because he likes the shirt.

but i physically cannot draw mouths for the life of me.

anyways, the 2nd picture might look really good, but i just traced over a stock photo i thought was cute, coloured it in, and used my trusty dusty 2018 gacha life shading skills. (the only part that looks good is bills vest lol) and the more i look at it the more i eugh…. yk? artist shit man, istg.

but yeah, i don’t have a human bill design yet, because i cant for the life of me draw out what i think bill looks like as a human, because 1, idk, and two, it depends on the micheal (ik, im making this a lot harder for myself)

so this one was based off of @wackpedion‘s human bill design! (who is soooo fucking cute and adorable btw, checking out their art is a must)

and heres a lil treat for you guys; an unfinished relationship/ship chart from a long time ago!!! i thought some parts of it were funny, so i thought i’d share :’)

(i reviewed/revised it a lil bit, but im pretty sure most of that stuff isn’t really canon anymore)

but yeah, happy valenpines day <3
