“What… the hell?”

From within the metal shell, was not some foolish engineer or scientist trying to play hero like you expected, but some kind of… mass.

It kind of looks like a fetus, but the parts don’t even look human in the slightest. The mass seems to be attached to the suit, actually the suit seems a bit hollow.

Upon closer inspection, the suit contained no mechanisms within, just layers of metal in strange patterns, which was disturbing as just a few moments ago you two were flying above the buildings before you grounded your foe.

You aimed the blaster at the thing.

“What are you? Some alien playing human?”

The thing made lots of different sounds with each attempt sounding more and more human, until it could be understood.

“Not aliens. Our kin have lived in this land for a long time, but repeated monster attacks forced us to stay hidden from the world. Monsters you brought from their homes to feel like some bit shot crook.”

I need info from this freak, NOW.

“Hell’s your suit made of?”

“Shell. From scrap metal and our own fluids.”

“The flight?”

“Special bladders.”

“What about those beams?”

“Heard of those blood spraying lizards, it’s something similar.”

“Okay, you’re a mutant snail or something, why play hero?”

“ Like I said, this was our land, and not only are you trespassing, but you proceeded to wreck it with your stunts. That won’t do.”

“Ya know this is live broadcasted around the country right?”

“And we thank you, we struggled to find a way to show ourselves to the world.”

Enough stalling.

Remove them.

“Say your prayers, freak.”

“We don’t fear death. We will simply be replaced by another with skills that surpass your current ones.”

“What does that mean.”

“Our kin survived a long time with our fast adaptations and evolutions. We will soon out pace and eradicate you from this land.”

It started laughing before you vaporized it.

You then say a few words to the camera crew that picked up the whole exchange before returning to your lair.

If what it said was true, then a stronger creature is on its way soon, with the tricks that remove all yours.

If you want to rule it all, you need to keep adapting, lest the freaks take you out for good.

Let the games commence.

"Now behold! Behold as I unmask your...beloved...hero...?" The villain's voice trailed off as he tore open said hero's crippled mech suit on live TV, only to reveal something quite...unexpected.

Been reading some original works on Ao3 recently

Ah Tumblr, where old posts lay dormant after its time has passed only for events that relate to the post to occur and resurrect it for a few more days, possibly gaining more traction than the first time around.

i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom

@dimiclaudeblaigan asked for a tutorial on how to begin drawing. Good news! If you can draw a funky looking stick man, you have already started!

I think that stick people are a great starting point for artists because of the things you can learn from them that will be important later on.

If you are able to draw a circle and a couple of lines, you can easily put together a stick person.

Congratulations! You have started to draw. :)

A stick person is a very minimal artistic representation of a real life person. It is simple yet recognizable, and is widely used in art, media, and signage.

But what can a stick person teach us about drawing people that look more like… well, people? Lets have a look!

By simply adding a few more lines, we can add a pair of eyes and a mouth. Maybe even a little triangle nose! Or half circles for ears. We can now draw a face, which provides a basis for all sorts of expressions.

These simple additions can allow us to explore the wide range of human emotion and individuality.

This may seem like the basics of the basics. But that is what we want! In order to get to the point where we are able to draw complex, elaborate representations of humans and objects, we will need to start with simple shapes like lines and circles and build our understanding from there.

For instance, lets give our stick person some cool new features, such as hands and feet. I chose little squiggly circles to represent hands, and triangles to represent feet.

We can go a step further and modify the body of the stick person to include shoulders, hips, elbows and knees. These parts of the human body are quite complex in real life But here, all we need to do is add a few simple lines and dots to our stick person.

The lines provide some additional structural elements to our stick person's body, which are the shoulders and the hips. The dots indicate the points of articulation - elbows and knees, the places where the arms and legs bend!

Now we can use our stick person to show us an even wider range of human movement, action, and expression.

Our little drawing of a human being is evolving! All it took was adding a few more lines and shapes here and there.

By elongating some of the existing lines and making the head an oval instead of a circle, we can give our stick person proportions that resemble that of a real life human.

By this point, we have managed to add more complexity to our stick person simply by using our ability to draw lines, circles, and other basic shapes!

These basic ideas are the building blocks that will enable us to create more complex shapes.

The next part may be a considerable step up if you are absolutely new to drawing, but I have decided to include it in order to show you how complex objects like the human body can be built from shapes that are a bit more complex than circles and lines.

For example. Two ovals and a rectangle can be combined to create a cylinder.

Six squares can be combined to create a cube, or a box. Here, each square is distorted slightly depending on which way the cube is facing.

Note that the back faces of the cube and the bottom of the cylinder are hidden. These shapes allow us to visualize that which should not normally visible.

A sphere from all perspectives can be represented by a circle. But we can make it more like a sphere by adding lighting and shadow if we so desire.

Cubes, cylinders, and spheres are examples of 'solid shapes' because they consist of 3 dimensions.

Lets see how these solid shapes can be used to compose the human body.

By stacking three cylindrical objects, we can create a torso. Two spheres have been added to form shoulders, while a smaller cylinder forms the neck.

An arm is an alternating sequence of spheres and cylinders connected together. Note that the hand has been simplified for this example.

We can apply these solid shapes to the rest of the body to give us a more recognizable representation of the human form. It doesn't even have to be perfect. And just like that, our stick figure now has a silhouette that is unmistakably a person!

In the above examples, notice that we kept the stick person at the beginning while building up the shapes and solids around it. This is because the stick person serves as a guide for positioning the body and its various parts -> also known as posing.

You can do the same thing to everyday objects! Here, I drew a wine glass by stacking these three dimensional solid shapes.

The cup and its contents are two ovoid shapes that were cut in half. The stem is a very thin cylinder shape. The base is a cylinder with a slightly wider bottom.

Solid shapes help inform us how objects and parts of the human body may appear from different perspectives.

For example, a sphere can be used to demonstrate how the human head appears when looking up or down, turned to the side, or tilted at an angle.

With these examples, I hope I have managed to convinced you that if you can draw a circle and a couple of lines, you can draw a person! You just have to train your eye to recognize the simple shapes within complex objects. Try it with everyday objects as well! Or even your favourite media! A drawing subject can be as simple or as complex as you envision it to be.

Once you have mastered that, there are many aspects of drawing you can explore from here that may require you to seek additional resources or a fellow artist's advice.

Last of all, remember that drawing is an iterative process. Even if you draw something correct the first time, you will need to draw it again and again to get it right all times! And by making small changes like the ones we explored in this tutorial, your drawings will gradually transform!

I hope what I've demonstrated here are enough to provide the basics of how to get started with drawing objects and people, and also to help refresh more experienced artists. :) Hopefully I didn't go too off topic with what was requested, and let me know if there are any more questions I can answer.

Cheers :3

Here’s Gogmagog.

A giant in English folklore who roamed in times England was referred as Albion.

He along with 20 something other giants were one of the last on the isle until Brutus of Troy and his Trojans arrived from exile and slayed them and Corineus threw him over a cliff.
