How do you find pose references for all those gorgeous and cute and aaaaaaa drawings. H o w. Where. (<-from someone struggling to draw characters interacting)

(if you don't use references, take it as a compliment to your godly anatomy and posing skills)

I don't really use references for poses that much. I'm not sure how to explain this without sounding weird but when I'm about to draw something, I visualize it in my mind, and when it's character art I sort of see them as 3D models that can be posed and rotated. And I just sort of try to replicate that on paper, sometimes it's easy and sometimes it doesn't work out at all (a good reminder that when you browse someone's art, you usually only see the pieces that the artist is at least passably proud of, not the piles of failed projects that went nowhere).

#when I use references it's usually for very specific poses and gestures that I'm not familiar with #if I were to draw someone shooting a crossbow or tap dancing or weaving on a loom #I'd have to look up references because you can only do those actions in a particular way or it doesn't look right #and I have no clear visual memory of what that action looks like #but if it's a common general casual everyday pose like a guy sitting or lying down in a way or another #you can draw that in so many different ways you can just position them however you want and it will look believable #and a lot of my poses are general everyday poses #I dunno that's how it works for me #definitely use references if you're unsure or drawing something you've never drawn before #but once you get sorta comfortable I personally feel like it's a lot more fun and interesting to draw from memory and imagination #this got rambly and I'm sorry I couldn't direct you to a pose reference databank of some kind I know they exist but I've never used them #answered #anonymous

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with nightmare before christmas #hajimari no halloween #calling dibs on skeleton kisses as the name of my band #man scully is just a delightful little weirdo and i'm enjoying him immensely #(i'm going with scully until we get something official just because it makes me think of x-files)#(スカリー is also how the agent's name is transliterated and i don't know if it was intentional but i love it as a bonus reference)#(i want to believe™)#gosh though #'no one at school likes me because i won't shut up about halloween and jack skellington' i'm feeling VERY attacked right now twst #look scully your people are out there #just get on the forums and -- oh wait you're probably from like the 1800s or something #(my theory is that he's from the past and there's just some Book Magic going on to bring us together)#(LOOK they made a point of saying that the book fair has been held annually for a super long time)#a hot topic goth born before hot topic was invented...so sad 😔#i dunno i could be wrong but that feels like a good working theory for now #if it wasn't for mal sensing twsty ~magic~ on him i would think he's like. a christmas elf who's going to kidnap jack in a reverse-nmbc #(not ruling that out though because it would be amazing)#god all the sprites in this event look AMAZING. loving the desaturated colors and the extra drawn-on lines 😍#i'm genuinely kinda sad that we aren't gonna get to see every character like this #who knows...maybe halloweentown will be imperiled again next year...#come back and destroy my keys again please #(that said i'm doing weirdly well so far?)#(i promised i'd save for sebek and just do cursory pulls to get the SRs and not hope for the SSRs)#(...but then leona jumpscared me four coffins in anyway. halloween magic is REAL)

So, if Syzoth (a zaterran) is a plant, what if his family were bunnies? :>

I had some ideas with the mk1 animalities ^u^

never forget...

read again?

no you did not see me repost this, shh

hemlo!! thank ya'll so so much for enjoying this lil comic series!! i know it's been a year since the first part, but most importantly i finished it 💀✨️

every single tags ya'll leave on me posts and past questions i recieve about this au is super appreciated, they make me smile the widest you have no clue!! im just a lil mad at myself that i couldn't expand on this au more so yall could have had more crumbs. irl stuff happened + still getting the hang of drawing and socializing again after years of doing neither of those 😭

but still, im glad i could share this comfort comic i made for myself, and for you guys too. it's a pretty personal one despite the characters not being mine 😅 i hope that you can walk away from this story believing (entirely or not) that someone out there still thinks of you, whether they're from a late/absent loved one who still wants the best for you or a dear friend who will make room in their hearts for you. life will never not be hard, but if you keep them close to your heart, adulting will be bearable 🫂

thank you so much for reading 💕

#as for this au's future (from me) i actually also have a spongebob and jimmy version of how timmy reveals to them the forgor thing #but i honestly dunno if i can get back to them soon. i'm working on a go comic that i already started #plus burnout. i wanted to take a break 🥲 maybe someday i'll revisit the idea #but go hogwild on playing around this au yourself idc how much u wanna strangle them i am still gonna cry at that shit 😭#but seriously thank you everyone. i wish i could have done more but thank you thank you thank you. really #nicktoons unite #danny phantom #timmy turner #the fairly oddparents #fop #nickelodeon #comics #fanart #my art #artists on tumblr #fancomic #i forgor lor

Behold

Joel of the Smallishbeans variety

#smallishbeans #hermitcraft #he is a dragonfly to me #Also I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to make the coat thingy (I dunno what it’s called) work when tied around the waist #So I just left it as is #joel smallishbeans #hermitcraft season 10 #hermitcraft s10 #Also this is loosely based on the one really popular Joel design that im not sure where it originated from-#but if I ever find out then I might tag them #I dunno if im supposed to tho-

quick thing i did for my rook before Veilguard releases!! They're an Antivan Crow warrior!

#dragon age #datv #dragon age fanart #artists on tumblr #da4 #digital illustration #rook de riva #dragon age veilguard #dragon age the veilguard #There's so many tags for datv :')#I didn't plan this out a super lot and I think it hurt me later on but whatever #Anyways this was a lot of fun! I tried for something Hades-esque with the shading on Rook and I think it worked out really well #Dunno how popular the warrior-antivan crow combo is gonna be but I loved how the warrior looked in promos!

killer belongs to rahafwabas cross belongs to jael peñaloza rental suits au belongs to me and @psycho-chair

#aughghghh i dunno if i like this one. i feel like a lot got lost in the process and stuff didn’t work out. falls over and dies #i really like everything about killer and how he came out but cross feels off #also i feel like the layout is crazy off too. i don’t knowww i don’t know if i like this one #but i’ve been working on it all day so it gets posted anyway. we ball etc etc #it looks better all blown up and big on my computer #armageddon art #rental suits au #cross sans #killer sans #cross!sans #killer!sans #kross ship #criller #sanscest #utmv #ut au #also yea they’re just full on in their suits. because they’re weird like that /silly/j #and cause the point is they were somewhere else and killer decided they should do this #and also they probably trespassed into someone’s back yard #and and i thought it’d be fun. so #one final comment apparently the lyric that inspired me to do this wasn’t even like. right. it said something else almost entirely wailing #but the caption for this thing stays cause i. don’t have anything else WEEPING

No one is more deserving of a rest

#Half Life #Half-Life #HL Aftermath au #Gman #Gordon Freeman #Aftermath Gman #aftermath Gordon #shmorps art #I dunno what possessed me to suddenly drop a full background piece but yeagh #Anyway I wonder how many times Gordon had been watched during his sleep and never even realized it #SMH shoulda locked your door then (he did but it didn't work)#Also I hope it's not too dark if so you can brighten it

Harry's world/Bad end

Inspired by Christina's world by Andrew Wyeth

#I dont think people talk about the bad end enough #this is the social murder game you guys #i dunno #my health took a bit of a decline recently and my doctor forgot to get me a refill on my meds in time and it got me thinking #disability puts a person in such a vulnerable position #it doesnt matter how well Harry solves the case or how upstanding of an officer he tries to be #one drink is all it takes and he is left to die #he cant even run after them anymore... he doesnt even know where he lives #he's nothing but an addict to them #reduced to an animal... grovelling in the dirt #used for all hes worth and then thrown away once he cant work anymore #ive written about the bad end before and ill get back to it(after my fic about his mom is done) when i get the energy for it #its just so compelling!!#does anybody hear me???#disco elysium #harry du bois #disco elyisum fanart #my art #illustration #also some people in the fandom do NOT see disabled ppl and addicts as people and it shows #ITS THE SOCIAL MURDER GAME

“Haven’t You Noticed (I’m a Star)” from Steven Universe works so ridiculously well for Leo

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rottmnt leo #rise leo #listen it’s morning now and I haven’t slept so bear with me for the sudden unwarranted lyric analysis haha #a lotttt of the lyrics work so well for him #not even just the overall theme the words just work great #first lyric is literally ‘I can’t help it if I make a scene’ which is one to one with ‘Leo’s makin a scene’ from the rottmnt opening like-#‘I’m turning heads and I’m stopping traffic’ -> Leo has not made it a secret that he values his looks a LOT #-not just his looks but also his ability to get people’s attention #‘when I pose they scream when I joke they laugh’ -> I feel like this speaks for itself #-posing and joking for the crowd and himself #‘I’ve got them dazzled like a stage magician’ -> works both with Leo’s canonical love of magicians and his aptitude with tricks in general #‘well everybody needs a friend and I’ve got you and you and you’ -> I just think it’d be cute to imagine his friends here just as his bros #‘I got you and you and you’ = ‘my brainy guy my smashing guy and eats peanut butter with his fingers guy’#‘haven’t you noticed that I’m a star?’ -> Leo loves attention and especially loves when his feats and efforts are acknowledged #+ he loves glam rock and sci-fi and being a champ and - listen he has a LOT of star symbolism with him #‘haven’t you noticed I made it this far’ - Leo is well aware of how dangerous situations get and thinks himself only a part of a whole #-so hey it’s notable that he’s survived this long yeah?#‘now everyone can see me burning’ -> self-sacrificing with his family bearing witness + all his star and flame symbolism in general #+ how attention naturally goes to him - including bad attention where his mistakes are highlighted and burn bright #also even the limo lyric-#obviously this boy has never and will never own a limo but one of his main secondary colors IS pink so even that #okay that one is just a joke but he would #(on that note though I think the other colors the boys gravitate to outside THEIR color are fun to notice)#I don’t actually know too much about Steven universe beyond the songs and some eps but I like the music #and this just came to my tired mind so here you go anyone who’s interested #may draw something with these lyrics dunno yet #it’s a good song in any case even though it’s super short

" when have you cried , edgar ? when have you ever wanted to kill ? wanted to rip someone apart ? when have you curled into a ball and shivered ? you've never done those things . not that you can recall . you're an empty shell of a man , edgar . you feel nothing . you even felt nothing in the face of your impending death , and the entire purpose of life is to avoid dying . "

#vargas #edgar vargas #vargas zarla #vargastober #vargastober2024 #vargastober 2024 #sunny's art #me looking at this like : ts . . . is so ass . . .#pointless and LAME but if you squint just a bit it looks good #i actually wasn't going to post this ? but eeeeeehhh it's not sssooo bad ?????????????#making gifs is always fun . even if the tv effect is like . NOT NECESSARY still looks cool #even if it's barely noticeable #idc about the quality anymore lolz the blurrier the better #text is from chapter 8 ! talking about how edgar can't feel a thing #with all of the effects you can barely read it lolz #i dunno if i'll work on today's prompt . i'll see !

In your fem!trek, do Jim's boobs still get cameos every other episode? If not, is there an alternative?

hmmmmm.

honestly i have no qualms against going yeah, totally (because, well. 23rd century, after all.) but then again variety is the spice of life and there is just something about underboob and a glimpse of that abdomen that hits SO hard. so i guess f!kirk utilizes this particular... diplomatic strategy constantly loll

also i saw the note you left about f!scotty (saaaame lmao <3333) and let's just say most of the enterprise crew shares the sentiment xDD:
