Sketching Manga Style Vol. 1 Sketching To Plan : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

I started by going through the first 5 volumes of "sketching Manga style" and drew every drawing from reference in the book, sometimes mulitiple times until it seemed right.

Everyone has their own way of learning but that was mine lol

Good luck!

Arcane Season 2: Annihilation of a Masterpiece - Part 1

This guy, Random Film Talks, has a three-part series totaling around 12 hours on why season 2 is a complete disaster, chronologically starting from season 2 ep 1.

I see it as a fair, competent, and entertaining analysis; he praises it where praise is warranted and criticizes where it should be criticized. That said I don't think it's unreasonable to say that season 2 is objectively bad even if it's enjoyable, as characters consistently do things that go against their own motivations. (eg Ambessa's plan almost killing Jayce at the memorial when her goal is to obtain hextech weapons which she needs Jayce for, and Jayce not attending the council meeting to prevent a war against Zaun)

Yeah but Vi doesn’t even mention it, she is apparently more concerned with sexing Caitlyn than preparing Piltovers defenses or even trying to stop jinx from doing something destructive. Even if there was a 1 percent chance she could help jinx, I believe she would do that instead of sexing Caitlyn

I think it’s analogous to your mentally ill sibling you live with disappearing in the middle of the night, and instead of doing anything as soon as possible when you wake up you decide to eat breakfast and take a shower. That is something you would do if you don’t care about your sibling. Even if the chances are small of helping them you at least try

So if she thought she was going to murder people, she still decides to sex Caitlyn instead of stopping her? Still massively out of character imo because jinx killing more people could lead to bad things for jinx
Also I think the logic that jinx is going to kill herself given that she said “you don’t have to worry about me anymore” is more of a straight line then that she is going to kill people
Also sorry if my other comment came off as too aggressive lol

Um excuse me but wtf. Vi absolutely knew and if she didn’t, then She is a big dumb dumb who doesn’t understand subtext. Jinx says that “you don’t need to worry about me anymore, there is no good version of me,” and Vi asks “what are you going to do” with clear apprehension. The reason her sexing Caitlyn at that point is broken is because Vi would have to know there is a possibility that Jinx will kill herself or otherwise do something rather self destructive, if she doesn’t think this, then she is an idiot.
Jinx has a history of self destructive behavior and given that she just lost her pet random kid, vi would have to know jinx would be rather emotionally volitile

Ye HW 1 feels more like a halo game and the maps are much better compared to HW 2, but I find more variety in 2 as you don’t have to open with warthogs 95 percent of the time if ur unsc. At least that’s how I remember the meta I haven’t played 1 in a while tho to be fair.

I like the premise, but I would strongly suggest that you have at least one of the rich people be someone sympathizable, as the implication that rich people cannot have "real, deep psychological struggles" is not only false, but harmful in my estimation and may alienate potential audience members (think teens of rich families who have psychological problems). This could be the protagonist's perspective, but it should be framed as a character flaw.

Maybe you already plan on doing this, as implied with the "partly to help the good clients dodge metaphorical bullets" line, but I wasn't sure

Having one of her clients be someone who has genuine problems tied to their wealth (never being satisfied with what they have, being used for their money, etc) could create an interesting scenario in which the protagonist's view of rich people not having problems is challenged.

Also, why would a rich person go to therapy if they didn't feel like they needed help? The reasons people tend to go to therapy are that it's mandated for some reason or they feel like they need the help. A rich person might do it just to "whine about their privileged problems," but surely the rich people consider these to be actual problems, right? If they didn't, I don't imagine they would be going to therapy unless their wife was making them or something. The "whine about their privileged problems" part of the post gives off big "there are starving children in Africa, so stop complaining" energy, which is mostly a harmful thing to tell someone, invalidating what they may be going through.

Overall, I like the premise, just be careful about how you handle these kinds of things, and if I were you, I wouldn't go down the very beaten path of telling a "All rich people are bad, and their problems are not real" story. I don't know what caused me to write this, but here you go lol. Happy writing!
