HEY ARTISTS!

girlwiththegreenhat:

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! 🙂

I’M IN THE MIDST OF WRITING A BOOK WHERE HAS THIS POST BEEN ALL MY LIFE

Re: the latest OW comic, you said you didn’t like it because it all sounded like one voice/speaker. I was wondering if you have any advise on how to keep the voices of characters distinct. You manage this so well in your fics, but thinking on this comment made me realize it’s not something I’ve consciously thought about when I write, so I’m not sure how to make sure and do this in the future.

FIRST OF ALL THANK FOR THE KIND COMMENT

I’ll try! Yeah this was my Major and Compelling Problem with the latest comic, that everyone sounded the same, and you couldn’t tell the difference from character to character (to me, they all sounded like Jack, but that’s my own character read and the comic got funny to me when I just thought of it as Jack just retelling the story the way he remembers it  and Lena being like “I ‘ave never sounded like that, ever, in my life.”)

ANYWAY (long ass advice under the cut)

Keep reading

So, let me guess— you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))
