#and i love to make fun of him lmfao

[emmg]

Actual footage of us @spidehpig roasting Raphael lmfao

Also I’m getting thine words of wisdom tattooed on my ass and I just feel like the universe at large should witness them:

“if im being so astronomically for real yeah he’s a fucking dumbass and i don’t think the crown would help him much. like MAYBE he overthrows zariel and conquers avernus but like even then it’s like was that really even a win. no one wants to deal with the front of the blood war but slay i guess”

Poetic

Congrats on becoming the Archduke of the armpit of Baator. Avernus literally sucks, have fun lol

I’m still cackling over it a day later 😂

Somewhere in the hells Mephistopheles is getting drunk and crying to Asmodeus about what a goddamn embarrassment his eldest son is lmfao

Hi, how did you learn to draw Steve's physique?

Ohh what a complicated thing to answer...

When it comes to how I learned to draw anything, it's hard to say anything too specific since it's always a culmination of many years of assorted study and practice... but I can try to do my best to explain some of the biggest things that helped me learn, some tips I keep in mind, and maybe at least some places to start/delve further.

(just a little disclaimer it's not like my drawings here are going to be 100% medically accurate.. they're just to illustrate concepts!)

The main thing about learning various physiques is understanding anatomy. Which feels obvious, but I don't mean proportions; these are important, but perhaps more important is understanding the skeleton and how it moves and learning where muscles connect to bones and where fat grows on the body. When you understand how these function on a more mechanical level, depicting form and movement in a way that feels natural comes in tow.

For instance, understanding things like the pronation and supination of the radius and ulna, as well as the fact that muscles can ONLY contract or relax, will help you understand a bit better which muscles will be flexed and which will not while someone moves. It's inherent to the positioning based on the structural makeup of the body... It's not like you NEED to memorize all the muscles and bones, of course, but understanding and gaining at least a passive familiarity with the concepts really helps.

In tandem with this concept is the way parts of the body flow into eachother. Muscles ALWAYS come in groups because they can only contract. Whatever muscle is there to lift something, there is a muscle on the other side to pull that bone back down. What this results in is a series of straight edges next to curves, which gives us a lot of really lovely "s curves" and dents and folds and so on and so forth just naturally occurring.

I would suggest at least learning the "bony landmarks", which are bones (usually) visible on the surface of the body. things like the iliac crest, the great trochanter, the 7th vertabrae, the acromion process... These can be used to help you understand the parts of the body as angles and relationships, rather than trying to remember lengths and sizes, which vary immensely... (since you asked about steve, he can be our model... also study these on your own don't just take my word for it haha, these are the ones I personally keep in mind)

I've done the same thing with body hair... learning where it grows and in which directions... It helps me make up variations without needing reference, because I have a set of rules I can follow.

The biggest thing that helped me understand all this on a much deeper level was my ecorche course. I sculpted this guy. We started by sculpting the entire skeleton to understand the bones, and then we added muscles on top. Not every single muscle, of course, but the "artistic muscles" AKA the ones which directly affect the surface of the body. Doing this let us see where muscles connect, because we would make a shape, put it on the bone where it actually goes, and then you get to see how other muscles overlap that.

This helped me, perhaps, more than anything else. But I also didn't just start with this course, I had been drawing for years before I even took it. I had been in school for years before I took it. Not that I think it wouldn't be helpful to someone just starting out, but I do think that the more you know going in, the better an in-depth course like this will help you and stick with you. Classes are also expensive, though so I'm not really like... recommending you pay potentially thousands of dollars to take one... But it did help me a lot, personally.

I also, of course, have done many figure, gesture, and master studies...

These just help you quickly gain a stronger understanding of generalized anatomy, and gives you real life examples of and practice with of how people move and balance.

What all this does when combined, is gives me a very solid ability to depict movement and form in a way that feels relatively natural from my subconscious without the need for reference.

The rest of how I've learned to draw his physique is honestly mostly just stylization. I understand the body, and this is how I am depicting it for his level of musculature.

And as I move into depicting him in other ways, either moving in comics or in animation, realistically rendered, or extra stylized, these concepts inform every step of that process for me! When he keeps the same/similar relationships between parts, he gets to still look like himself.

It ALSO really helps when putting clothes on, because the way cloth falls and bunches and lifts is all directly related to the form it is on... So the more you understand that form, the more you can depict clothing and movement in a way that feels natural.

This is all, of course, true when I draw anyone, you asked about Steve so I'm trying to mostly show with him! But because I'm just drawing from raw information of general anatomy rather than trying to study one body type at a time, it allows a lot more "give," I think!

Like, here's most of the cast from TTA so far... actually, they're not as varied as I thought they were nevermind LMAO ignore this part

But, it also makes monster and alien design much easier! It's a lot easier to come up with non-human anatomy when I understand human anatomy, because I can manipulate the knowledge I have...

There is infinite more to study in the world of anatomy... The complexity of the human body goes extremely deep. For our purposes as artists, we need only depict a fraction of it, but more information rarely hurts the process.

I'm sure there's something in here that's wrong on a technical level, I'm mostly going off of memory. But that's kind of my point - I understand enough generally and conceptually that when I am missing something and need to find reference for it, I understand what I'm looking at. It's much easier than trying to learn AND draw at the same time.

I hope even one thing in here helped you! Sorry it's so long.

"GET- MMF" Danny struggled in the iron clad grip while claws dug into his face. At this rate he'd suffocate!

He tried to turn intangible, but his power didn't so much as flicker.

What was it that Polnareff guy said? Use his 'stand' to turn things intangible?

Danny flapped an arm out, in the vague direction of Fall Out Boy. Eventually, he hit something and the familiar feeling of his powers washed over him. His tormentor fell to the ground.

Danny bent over on his knees as he let go of his stand. "Finally, a breath of fresh air."

He heard a growl and his shoe started to feel wet.

"Oh- dude!" Danny shook out his foot. "Just because I wouldn't let you eat my hair?!"

Iggy laughed as he trotted off, hopping up on the table Polnareff was sitting at. Then he started munching on the plate of sandwiches that were meant for Danny.

"Y'know I've never met a dog I haven't liked before," Danny grumbled, pulling up a chair. "But I guess I'm having all kinds of new experiences this week."

Polnareff tapped his cigarette in the ashtray. "We've only known you a few days."

"Exactly."

"It's not so bad," Polnareff said. "You're not in any danger while you're learning; that's far better than most people have it."

"Look, Polnareff, I appreciate it and all but did you have to use Iggy to teach me?"

"He's a good motivator." Polnareff grinned. "And it keeps him entertained so he doesn't go after me."

"And the truth comes out." Iggy laughed his little dog laugh. Danny glared at him. "Oh, this doesn't get you off the hook; I know you're smart enough to know what you're doing. I've seen you steal Mr. Joestar's wallet when he isn't looking."

Iggy turned away. Polnareff took a drag of his cigarette, hand covering his mouth.

With the saddest, most apologetic puppy dog eyes, Iggy turned back with a whimper. His head was ducked low and his ears were downturned. A textbook picture of a sad little doggy.

Danny held strong. He would not be swayed. He knew exactly what was going on here and-

"Ugh, I can't stay mad at your adorable widdle face." Danny held Iggy's face. He scratched behind one of Iggy's ears- the same spot Cujo always liked- and the dog pressed into his hand. "Oh, who's a terrible little mischief maker? You! Yes you are, you little-BWUH?!"

Suddenly, Danny was sitting in a mountain of sand, trying in vain to dig his way out before remembering Fall Out Boy. He had his stand pull him out and the sound of Polnareff practically pissing himself with laughter greeted his valiant escape from a deadly betrayal.

Iggy barked at Polnareff and he waved his hand, gasping something about an agreement.

"I nearly-" Danny paused to hack and spit out all the sand in his mouth. "I nearly suffocated twice! In one day!"

Polnareff gave a teary-eyed apology. The tears were from laughter. "I told him if he could cover you in sand, I'd get him a steak. It was supposed to be practice for being ambushed." Polnareff wheezed, holding his stomach. "I didn't think he'd bury you!"

"Ha ha ha." Danny shook out his pant leg. "Keep laughing and I'll bury you in a mountain of sand. Maybe on the beach so the crabs can get you."

Polnareff did keep laughing, but not for long. A wave of sand washed over him, almost identical to the one still on Danny's seat. Silver Chariot appeared moments later, digging through the sand as Polnareff shouted muffled curses and threats to Iggy's person.

The dog wasn't listening though, hopping off the table and walking off who knows where. Danny stared after him.

Iggy's ear flicked. The same one Danny had scratched.

Danny smiled. He'd have to remember to nab a stick of coffee gum later in thanks.

okay but the realization that Howdy is actually a little bit of a scoundrel? a scammer even?? was like the BEST part of the update for me!!! his got a bit of spice to him i like that!

idk if it’s just me but it feels like it’s very important that Eddie was the only have like a extra audio thing on his character sheet in the neighborhood besides Wally and the You page?? like that feels significant somehow right??

i just really loved both Howdy and Eddie in these updates they were so great

GOD i know i know he's got some Kick to him! he's got Flavor! i love how he turned the common perception of his character on its side - everyone expected him to be wholesome and helpful and sweet, and then the update came in with the fuckin steel chair-

hmmmm i can see both sides of the beetle on Eddie's bio - the significance, and the possibility of it just being There because most pages had 1-2 bugs, and the audio was about Eddie. but ALSO its so so likely that is Was significant! i honestly thought so as well!

i mean, the beetle is very uhhh, Valentine looking? the prevalent heart shapes, the soft pink-yellow-white coloring, plus its an audio centered on Eddie and Frank. we already know FranklyDear is going to be an established Couple - so i'd agree that the significant is There! and if we lived in an alternate world where we didn't know about FranklyDear, we'd all be losing our collective shit over this and theorizing the hell outta it

the whole plot of mr. monk makes the playoffs (s07e13) is that stottlemeyer wants them to go on a nice date without interruptions.

LFMAO something something messed around doodled kai getting got dt my persona dont look at me ill delete this later goodbye

[scorpiusmalfoylovesoscarwilde]

why do teachers insist on going around and making everyone say their name and something about themself??? like what the fuck, what do they want from me hi I'm ellis and my fun fact is this is making me want to fucking combust, nice to meet you like I'm not gonna remember any of this I'm just suffering for no fucking reason

[moe-broey]

Also whenever I talk about Sharena being overlooked in favor of Alfonse I feel SO bad and SO hypocritical because while I am very unwell about both of them it just. Manifests in different ways. Sharena is like a plushie to me she's a friend she's full of love and joy and softness. I occasionally succumb to madness and have divine visions over her but most of the time she's Sharena my good friend Sharena :) Meanwhile with Alfonse it's like. I am constantly psycho-analyzing him I am studying him and taking notes I need to bite him I need to put him in situations I need to take him out of situations I need to tuck him in at night and kiss him on the forehead and I need him to get pegged. I'm so sorry 😔

paul george for bingo 🙏

i highlight what applies to him in the bingo since i included options (i looove options, i looove immense detail idk why it just helps me remember more than little detail like just remembering the name) SO HERE IS THE RESULTS LOL!

[swordmaid]

but anyway that oathbreaker dialogue is so interesting with the 7k spawns because if she was against balthazar binding aylin so ketheric could use her, she's def against astarion (and cazador) sacrificing the spawns for power. and i like freeing the spawns after bc shri'iia believes in the presence of choice (!!) and they should be the ones to decide if they want to live or die. it doesn't matter to her what they choose to do later, but what's important is that they're the ones making that choice you know - like i think that's what her newfound oath is about, just having that presence of choice be available to you bc before she just followed lolth and her tenets without question. but now she's free... and she gets to make her own choices for better or for worse.. and all the consequences are now hers to face... and in turn she doesn't want anyone's autonomy to be taken away from them. they deserve to make their own choices - their freedom is theirs to take..!!!

[analogwriting]

Ambrose, I fell in love with your writing with your Killer fic and now you’re posting a Cora fic? I will platonically squeeze you tk death.

The pathetic man has been in my head for weeks and there is not enough content that isnt just female stuff. So thank you and I am vibrating with happiness and excitement over your writing (slecifically Ckra rn bc poor bby girl has taken over my mind)

-🍉

SDLFKJSDFLK THANK YOU??? i will gladly accept all platonic squeezes frfr. im so glad you liked the killer fic! that was one that i didn't think was gonna do as well as it did bc he's such a minor character lmao

it's what i noticed too. there was already a lack of cora content in general (which i get it, he wasn't in there that much but cmon with as popular as law is you'd think he'd be a little moreso) and i knew it was my civil duty as a cora stan to make my contribution. he's my cringefail wife and i WILL drag him through the wringer and shower him with love with everyone as my witness lmao

n thank you for your kind words n supprt frfr
