dch! au relationship chart
...to the best of my abilities.
this is a Bit incomprehensible (as most things are... in this au...). would've liked to have Home and Wally on there, too, but it was already complicated as is </3
and ofc their relationships are more complicated then this, this was just for fun !
the trick about getting invested and confident in ur own concepts is to surround urself with other likeminded artists who are down to earth. i know nowadays especially people think "indie" and they think undertale or glitch pilots and they have paved the way for great things but i mean like. engage with your friends comics theyve been posting to an audience of 20-30 people. The people who are genuinely at your level with you. Who are working on their projects on the side because they still have a full time job to attend to. who go on long hiatuses because theyre in college and are crunching for tests at the moment.
maybe one day youll have all the resources you want to create your stories exactly how you imagine it at the speed you want it to be done, but until you get there you'll find so many people working with the same resources and available time that you have, and its about that network of small artists being able to support each other that can light a spark that you thought you needed an audience of hundreds to light.
just spent an hour of my adult life confirming beyond a shadow of a doubt that the little bunny PNG that shows up occasionally in the new Tomodachi Life IS in fact the exact same stock image they used in Badge Arcade on the 3DS, for that one gag where the Arcade Bunny briefly becomes a recoloured photorealistic rabbit.
i lined them up and attempted to recreate the Badge Arcade version's edits, and they're DEFINITELY the same bunny pic. the only parts that don't line up are its posture (its back was lowered to give a clearer head silhouette, since you can't see its lower half anyways) and its nose, which was very slightly raised in Badge Arcade (it's easier to see up close when you're flipping between the two, just trust me)
anyways. who the hell has been sitting on this incredibly specific bunny stock image for 12 years just waiting to use it for another joke. where ELSE did they sneak it into stuff in the past decade that i just didn't hear about. how do i learn that level of commitment to the bit.
random semi recent spooky month oc doodles i never posted ^-^

I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck.
For reference (heh)
At a glance, file name checks out. But!! Do not open a .vbs file!!!
hope you don't mind if i add a few things!
firstly, basic internet safety tipโdon't open a file if you don't recognize the extension, or if the extension doesn't match the type of file you're expecting. in this instance, we're expecting an image (so common extensions would be things like .jpg, .png, .gif, maybe .psd), and instead we get a .vbs, and we don't recognize the extension. one thing you can do right away is google the extension. i searched for "vbs file" and got results like this:
even if you don't know what all of this means, it's clear that this isn't an image file! so i wouldn't open it.
another tell is that this file is incredibly small. the file size is only ~900Bโthat's less than 1KB, or less than 1/1000th of 1MB! for reference, file sizes from smallest to largest go as follows:
bytes (B) -> kilobytes (KB) -> megabytes (MB) -> gigabytes (GB)
image files will almost always be measured in MB, with some especially large files reaching into the GB. files measured in KB or smaller are usually text-only files, which can include things like programming scripts. you might think a small file size means it can't cause any harm, but actually, the opposite is trueโa script like this can do a lot of damage in only a few lines of code, resulting in teeny-tiny files that are devastating when opened.
TLDR:
- always check the extension before opening a file
- google search unknown file extensions before opening
- files smaller than 1MB (1000KB) are usually text-only, and could be a script; don't open unless you recognize the extension and are expecting a text file
