So, you've mentioned that out-gaining Guzma isn't the goal 'cause it would be a losing battle. However, if there was a way to even out the odds, just hypothetically, would you go for it? *Dynamax alcremie looming menacingly in the background with it's 100,000 kilocalorie missiles*

//Uh, I dunno to be honest. Guzma's half a foot taller than I am. Evening out that weight would look a lot more substantial on my frame than on his coz of that. And I enjoy being able to move :/c Tricky...

How do I get fat like Guzma?

uh. eat?

Hey so I'm also an artist and a gainer and I was wandering do u have any tips on drawing fat men

Well, it's all about shapes - at least to me. Keep the shapes connected in the right way, with the right volume, and heaviness. That's what I try to focus on. Fat goes over the top of regular anatomy, so learning how that works first can really help.

What I did was just draw whatever and I learned as I drew more of it. It's all about trial and error, learning and evolving and recognising what you want to improve, rather than being discouraged by "this looks bad". Don't compare yourself to others, only yourself.

But, as with anything to do with art, collect inspiration, collect a huge amount of references. Print out your favourite artworks from other artists, smack 'em through a holepunch and keep em together with a treasury tag. Never be afraid to use yourself for a reference picture either. If you cant find something, just save the time instead of mindlessly scrolling image results on your search engine of choice. Especially since you're a gainer, you can use your own body to study how any niche angle or pose might look with your body type.

To add onto this, of course it'll vary from style to style but exaggerate your shapes, (coming back to the shapes thing) for example, I'll use this artwork of my DND guy that I recently did:

See how the shapes of certain parts aren't necessarily more muscled or fatter? The feet and hands for instance, they look better and read clearer if you exaggerate them a bit, and I already set the hands and feet on the 3D reference model I used to almost maximum. You can do this with heads to an extent as well, but it could make the character's proportions feel off. That part is a balancing act and you can find basic proportion guides for the body online to help with that. But - the thickness of the arms and legs and even the neck pulls the figure further from realistic proportions and more into a cartoony illustrative look. I could go on for ages about this but that's the basic gist of it.

One thing I think is exceptionally under-represented in art advice that I've seen in my time is DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF HAVING ARTIST FRIENDS! Learn from each other, talk about stuff, gather and share resources amongst yourselves, etc etc. You learn more when in groups, that's why school isn't one-on-one.

These are just some tips off the top of my head, there's always more out there and I'm sure one of these things won't work for you and others will, but make the leap like you've done here and ask other artists too. Lots of people would be willing to give some advice to help you get going, and you asking will also benefit others who might be too shy to ask so even if you don't take my advice, you can be happy that you've pulled it out of me for others to see at least XD

happy (early) halloween!

Spent some time this week updating my DND character, Attila. No longer cursed to wear the shrek closet cosplay, He found some armour in a charity shop (it was a nat20 investigation), so I took it as a chance to redraw him. Original artwork under the cut.

I'm surprised I've come a long way in just under a year, so I'm real proud of how the new one turned out after all the time I spent with it. (this is technically weight gain because he gained like 7 kilos from then to now. you can kind of see it. it went to his belly. LOL)

Koa was hungry but low on cash, so he took a chance at the restaurant that let's you eat free if you're fat (at the cost of constant teasing). Joke's on them, they're the ones having to restock >:3

[soft5ku11]

tbh i don’t really have a weight gain kink i just like seeing soft guys :]

IM SO SORRY I DIDNT REPLY TO THIS

thats so real of you honestly - I appreciate you saying that to be real w you.

I love Clip Studio Paint, but they've gotten so fucking greedy with the subscription model ESPECIALLY since the android version is a subscription payment rather than a 1-time purchase like on PC (fuck you guys fr)

Anyway all that to say - does anyone know of any [LEGAL DOWNLOAD OPTIONS] of CSP (for android)? I need to take some comms so I can fix my CRACKED windows in my bedroom ://

Pro tip: assert dominance by catching him off guard, and then lose it again seconds later when he throws you off and pins you down, demanding to know what the fuck you did that for in the first place B)

Everyone say thank you to @whyd0id0whatid0 for descending from the sky and showing me how to do super smooth lighting and shading (i just copied what she did in 25 minutes and it took me 4 hours hhh)

(No text version under the cut)

This is a little bit too self indulgent to be honest, I feel a bit vulnerable sharing it online but who cares - you people dont know me so whatever, its a picture on the internet it's not that deep :P
