In my experience, RPers and Writers alike enjoy one thing: Making characters suffer. This little guide is supposed to help you with keeping injuries and the First Aid - in case you want to patch your character back together - realistic. 
I am no medical professional, but I dare say I picked up a thing or two during my First Aid school-medic training ;)

Under read more for length! Also, trigger warnings for blood, I suppose?

Writers, when penning scenes in which two or more characters are of the same gender, often encounter the problem of how to distinguish one person from the other. If everyone is a “she” or a “he,” how is the audience to know which character is doing or saying what and when?

As I’ve often noticed in slash fanfic, writers have the tendency to twist their prose into knots, trying to accomplish this in a “creative” fashion. If I had a nickel for every time Tony Stark was referred to as “the billionaire,” or “the resident genius” in fanfic, I’d be sipping Mai Tais off the coast of Florida instead of running this blog. “But Dr. E,” you might say, “if I don’t use descriptors, how will my readers ever understand who’s doing what in my story?”

Well, here are a few tips that may help you:

Tips on color & light from The Artist’s Guide to Color by Wendon Blake

prompts-and-pointers:

Did I say Thursday? I meant Friday. 

Pointers such as this, well, I feel they’re important. You’ve no idea how many books I’ve read that took pages upon pages to describe each ounce of what the character wore that one day. Single outfit. No changing. It’s too much.

Or a novel which goes into gross detail about the mechanics of a sport that are neither apart of the plot or additive to the story. I do not need five pages dedicated to the rules of your made up sport when none of the characters play said sport, the scene adds nothing to the actual plot or characters, and it is never then brought up again. Y’all aren’t all Rowling - You can’t all have something as snappy and cool as Quidditch.

The whole film took me altogether about 5 grueling months (usually 10-12hours a day) to do. I often felt my butt was going to grow into the chair I usually sat at. 

Please note that this was simply my way of doing my film to achieve the soft-shaded style I wanted; there are many other ways of doing this and some are a lot faster with different results~! :)

• My film on DeviantArt | My film on Vimeo
• My film gifs on Tumblr
• You can see my storyboard animatic here (although the original had music, but like I mentioned, my placeholder music was by Joe Hisaishi, you know, Miyazaki’s composer, so it’s not really legal to upload it). 

This tut differs a bit from my dA version, because tumblr lets me put the combination of gifs and jpegs :D. 

Here’s a book that will really help you start animating:

• The Animator’s Survival Kit 

here’s some books that are good for composition, storytelling and colours:

• Dream Worlds: Production Design for Animation
• The Art of Pixar: The Complete Color Scripts and Select Art from 25 Years of Animation
• Prepare to Board! Creating Story and Characters for Animated Features and Shorts

I hope these helped

I ask that no one removes the credit or source for this tutorial/guide please. thanks :)
