Collected knowledge of stuff I actually cared deeply about and had so far time to write down.

All of this has been released via my Twitter / DA
You also find a visual preview of everything released in order in this tutorial specific gallery:

normal DA & Twitter (just for links sake):

A few people recently asked to post these things here, that happens right now
(I am not sure I I will keep it active though, so stand as of now is 01.07.2018)

Before you jump into the action:
-Please check out the links, there are comments, answers, credits, further links etc. (Would take too much time to rewrite all of that here)
-Some of the old stuff - 2013 and earlier probably isn't really accurate in it's terminology (especially the topdown "perspective" construction should rather be topdown projection)
-The red haired teacher which appaears since 2018 is named Creya, probably you know her.

Aside from that happy reading.

"Because the beauty of the human body is that it hasn't a single muscle which doesn't serve its purpose; that there's not a line wasted; that every detail of it fits one idea, the idea of a man and the life of a man."

Seconded. :y: For just a bunch of nerds jamming, the resources out there for us keep getting better. Slowly now but this is a small leap.
I'm thinking a feature's not a bad idea.
They get the shiny resources they need, we get more rep. Win-win.

But hey, maybe that's asking too much... ::)

I knew many of these awesome tutorials and learned a lot from them, but I surely didn't knew all of them, and finding them all in one post feels like a 1993 Christmas getting a snes, thank you very much.
