A mouth-watering fuck-ton of gun references.
Before you draw any gun, be absolutely certain you are familiar with the parts of a gun. That sounds cliché and dumb, but if you end up wondering “Why does this thing look so shitty?” it’s probably ‘cause you don’t know how a gun works. Know how it moves and what fits in where. And please know where the hands are placed when firing!!! If you hold a gun at the wrong place, you can lose a finger! Also know where the head will be positioned. The person will be looking down the barrel to line up the sights (the two protruding thingies at the top that help you pinpoint your target). Don’t know enough about guns, let alone what type to utilize? Here (the Glock and the “Frag Nade” are mixed up):
And if you’re pro on guns, here’s an orgasmic list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_firearms
And if you wanna get a little creative:
I’m always a fan of the minigun………

Writing British Characters
People always assume that playing someone British is just learning the slang and how to speak correctly with the accent. Well, that isn’t entirely true.
Tip No. 1: How to sound British.
Of course you have to perfect how to sound British. Use these links to use the slang all the time.
Tip No. 2: Location, location, location.
They’re going to ask where you are from and you just can’t say Britain, shit face. What if they are from Britain itself? You need to have a “home location”. What city/town? What district did you live in? Where is it located? What is it near? What are the customs there? It may also be important to know important counties and cities. If you can’t locate London on a map, it will be fairly obvious that you are not British.
- How to live in Britain: Topics of The Basics, Law, Geography, Culture, Problems, Being Successful, Making a Difference, and Personal Life.
Tip No. 3: Wording and spelling is a very important factor.
The British change their wording and spelling a lot. Here is a British to American translator.
Tip No. 4: Know their hobbies: such as their television shows and what they do in their free time.
Not all the shows we have here in America are watched in Britain. Here is a list of the most popular televison series in Britian. (It stays updated, because what’s the point of posting one that isn’t?)Tip No. 5: Myths about the British
We Americans don’t go around eating burgers and holding shot guns, do we? There are always myths about races and countries.

I NEEDED THIS
i made a tutorial for male crotches
EVERYTHING I EVER NEEDED.
It’s simple anon!
First, put the picture you want to use in the Graphics/Pictures folder of your RPG Maker project.
Then, in the event, you use a Show Picture command (in the second tab)A window appears where you can choose the image under “Picture Graphic”, its position and the “Number”: This works as layers, higher number images will appear on top of lower numbers. You can also mess with its opacity and blend type.
You can then add text with a Show Text command, and the text will appear over the image. You can use this for both mugshots and cutscenes, like so:
Don’t forget to use the Erase Picture command at the end, with the same number as the picture you want to erase!
And that’s pretty much it! Hope I could help!

HAVEN’T POSTED ANY STORY CONCEPT STUFF IN AWHILE, stuck in one of those brutal self-conscious periods, whoops.
Some quick refs… These guys are actually part of The Pursuit! I’ve always mentioned that monsters played a big role in the story from the very beginning, but I haven’t really… Drawn them that much. All of the last drawings I’ve done of these guys are in my original DA gallery, goddamn.
Anyway, most of Bezrien’s natural fauna is comprised of monsters like these (and there are more species than this). Collectively, they’re known as ‘The Beasts of Bezrien’ (because it sounds good, check out that alliteration). All of the cities in the Santian Empire are completely enclosed, and the supposed reason behind that is to keep the hellish wilderness of Bezrien outside.
AS FOR THE NAMES uh… Luce named them. (Of course.)There aren’t any official names for these critters since Santians aren’t much for studying the natural world. These guys play one major role in mainstream Santian society; a deterrent for anyone thinking of leaving their city. These creatures are indeed nasty fuckers, but there awfulness is exaggerated to an extreme in Santian society and further amplified by the fact that most people have never seen them in the flesh.
