if you want artists to make weirder art, you have to create stable living conditions that allow them to. homogeneity isn't a matter of artists lacking culture-- there are many soulful artists out there-- it's a matter of unregulated corporate dominance combined with artists who cant afford to create

Wanna draw a dink? Well, like foreskin, I've got you covered!

This is a series of images describing how to draw a penis.

"Wow, a dick! In NSFW works, it's often necessary to simplify shapes. When it comes to the penis, I tend to break it down into six essential structures:

- Glans
- Corona
- Sulcus
- Foreskin (Optional)
- Shaft
- Scrotum and testes

"It is possible to see the most basic form of a penis as an egg and cylinder.

Add the corona and some simple distinction between the glans and the shaft, and voila, we have the most fundamental form of a penis as viewed from the front.

Penises come in many shapes and sizes. This is a fact in the real world, and it will help you when making NSFW art as well. Bumps, uneven skin, folds, and scars will make a drawn penis feel real.

What takes your egg and cylinder and turns it into a proper penis can be described in one word... variation!"

"Now that we have some of the basics down, lets get a little more... acquainted with our subject.

Unfortunately for us artists, penises don't exist in static form, only to be drawn from the front view.

If we look at some of the examples to the left, you can see that, so long as you keep the details focused on key areas, it works to stay simple.

I've found that highlighting areas such as the frenulum, the urethra, and the corpus spongiosm (The area on the bottom of the penis that looks like a raised ridge), tends to get people's attention."

"It's all about weight, distribution of weight, that is! In order to make a penis appealing in NSFW works, it's important to rely on shapes and weight.

Where you choose to put the heft in your penis is everything. Often, I see artists making perfectly symmetrical penises, or penises that are heavy at the bottom of the shaft, and unordinarily thin at the top.

Although penises come in all shapes and sizes, it's good to keep some things consistent.

A tip! In many organic structures, you can often simplify shapes into straight and curved. If you have one side that is more straight, generally speaking, the other side is likely to be curved."

Avoid triggering hazardous mushrooms with this one simple trick: impressing the Great Fungi. I thought it’d be cool for Aldiirn to have a bonus ability like the companions :D #bg3 #art

Baldur's Gate 3 fancomic. Trapped within a field of noxious, puffing and hissing fungi, Baelen pleads for help, "My pack, there's a scroll of Misty Step inside, but don't let the Bibberbang explode!"

"Stay calm sir, I'll have you out quickly!" Aldiirn confidently steps forward.

"WAIT!" Baelen shouts, before realising the Bibberbang doesn't react to Aldiirn's presence. Aldiirn easily reaches the pack, tosses the scroll to Baelen, who teleports away with a thanks.

Wyll calls out to Aldiirn, "You don't happen to be half-drow, half myconid? You move through the mushrooms just like them."

"Trick of the trade, really!" Aldiirn answers from the bibberbang field.

"Not many are able to learn to walk lightly among fungi, but it's a valuable skill for those who can!" Aldiirn explains, while a tooltip pops up telling the ability was not learned, but granted by Araumycos.

Again, my utmost respect for @polygon.com for reporting on Dreams on a Pillow when so many sites and influencers that claim to stand for inclusivity and diversity and equality have ducked speaking about the genocide, about Palestine, and about Palestinian stories.

Dreams on a Pillow, the Palestinian video game about the 1948 Nakba, surpassed its funding goal

It’s follow-up to the award-winning Liyla and the Shadows of War

Pharmacists are prescribing abortion pills in Washington, not simply dispensing the medication — a development intended to broaden abortion access by taking advantage of rules that give them prescribing ability in most states.

Abortion Pills Prescribed by Pharmacists Are Newest Effort in Abortion Fight

Washington State’s program is the first, but other states are expected to try allowing pharmacists to prescribe the pills to counter growing efforts to curtail abortion access.

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia.

Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

Folks need to understand this.

Pornhub is absolutely in the right here. They are blocking states who require this because they don't want to be responsible for your PI data! They do not NEED that info to provide their service, so collecting and maintaining it is inherently privacy violating!

kristy yummy coochie 🇯🇲 @adrierising.bsky.social · Jan 1

pornhub is blocked in 17 states because 17 state governments are demanding that you upload your face and identifying information to a privately held company that may or may not sell that data to the highest bidder and pornhub believes that is a violation of your rights.
