So while looking into the 90’s/early 00’s RE comics some more I noticed this interesting detail of Leon going with Claire to Europe to find Chris after the Raccoon City incident.
While most of these comic stories are not considered canon and more so "what if" or "inspired" stories instead of retellings, it's interesting to see how the comic writers for this comic magazine imagined the lore for the series would happen considering how little they were given to work with.
#I do also wish there was this time of doing a wide variety of merch things in the west as well#again#like these comics and the action figures#I know they were mostly trying to capitalize on the success for money’s sake but at least we still got cool merch from it#nowadays it feels like Japan gets all the goodies and we just get stuff with the umbrella logo slapped on it#also okay yes Claire looks like Lara Croft lol#reno2005

Real fights are messy and I'm sure biting, scratching, scrambling away on your ass are all on the table and encouraged, but sparring matches in the Batcave between the Bats are probably sick as fuck when they try (aka the siblings are not bent on just beating the shit out of each other), because they're using a meld of techniques from about a hundred different martial arts, tapping into their unique strengths, and a near inhuman reading of each other (both from years of working together and experience) and an insane reflex time.
#Sorry not sorry I will always wax poetic about how fucking cool it would be to see these guys' hard earned combat experience in action#Like even if you just watch two different martial arts like jiu-jitsu and shaolin Kung fu fighters try to figure each other out and adapt#It's amazing (depending on technique and experience level)#Will share more specific and eloquent thoughts if and when I ever have them again#Batman#Batfamily#Dc comics#Batcave#Batcave shenanigans#dcu

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.
#asks#somewhereinasgard#anatomy#art tips#anatomy tips#don't like... take my word as gospel OF COURSE#I am sure there's like one thing or more in here that's like. genuinely wrong#but whatever#anyways. I love steve LMFAO#I was thinking about zagan a lot too in this one tbh LMAOOOO cause he's got a similar body type#and when I just did that action animation of him#and people were like how the fuck did you do this so fast#I sort of have been realizing all this knowledge I have about anatomy#and how much easier it makes my life pretty much every single step of the way.#those action poses did not need reference.#I almost never need reference for drawing people#unless its like... realism. but I mean in my comics or animations#when the arm is coming towards the camera I know what's going on in the arm and what the form of it ACTUALLY is so I can properly draw it#there's no guesswork. I know what I'm doing.#which makes it so that when I'm depicting someone like flipping all around or whatever#I just know what the body looks like. how it moves. how it balances. etc.#I would say it comes naturally to me but it doesnt.#it is subconscious at this point#but it is very extremely studied#not a damn bit of this came out of nowhere LOL#ok anyways this was a really fun ask#I got extremely carried away I am so sorry#this is like my biggest artistic passion I LOVE anatomy SO much#I love drawing muscles#I love the technical feelings that happens in my brain when I draw an arm moving and figure out how the muscles are engaged

Boy did this one go downhill fast...
#what didn't help was that the guy we were rescuing was trying to die so fucking hard the whole time#istg I had to spend someone's actions once a round healing that guy#only to have him immediately set himself on fire again#also i realize the little blob guys didn't really have faces#but the style I'm using for these comics is so simple#I couldn't figure out how to make them recognizably monsters and not just like weird rocks or piles of stuff#so they got these stupid little faces#dos2#divinity#divinity original sin 2#sebille#lohse#blackpits#comics

I'm sure you've been asked before. But. What are your thoughts on the deadpool video game. I have.... lots of words I could say about it. It's really hard for ppl to make a Good dp adaption it seems
it's a product of it's time.... you truly can tell it was written in the rage comic era of the internet. and you can tell that this particular wade wilson probably had this t-shirt tucked away somewhere in his closet
audiences liked it at the time. i've never played it. just watched a few playthroughs on youtube back in like, 2014, and by then it already felt dated. and it came out in... 2013? what the fuck? 2013??????
i really thought it came out in like, 2009 or something. oh my god. oh my god.
listen. wade didn't start drinking respect women juice until 2022. that's the unfortunate truth. i know people point at sexist points in deadpool's comics and games and movies and say "UNGH. WADE WOULD NEVER." but the fact you all have to accept is that: wade did.
this progressive-pool that we've been seeing lately is a new development. you all have to accept all of the cringe that comes prepackaged with wade wilson: problematic fave since 1991. mouth piece for creepy comic dude bros - sometimes self-aware about it, sometimes (unfortunately) not.
#sci speaks#it's okay. the internet has grown past it. and so has wade. i hope.#i mean. you can tell the dp/w was written in the tiktok era of entertainment.#it is Not going to age well. people will look back on it and say. “cringe”. i know it in my heart.#dp/w does feel like a return to form for deadpool.#return to form as in “becomes a mouth piece for comic dude bros”#whole movie feels like it was written by a gang of sweaty nerds who have No idea what makes a good story but (mouth breathing)#wwouldnt it (mouth breathing) bbe cool if (mouth breathing) laady deadpool shows up??#smashes action figures together

Marvel Legends Spider-Man 2099/Miguel O'Hara for Beyond the Spider-Verse/Across the Spider-Verse Part 2
I'm still way too in love with him. I know I am. I'm itching for that unmasked head even if he does look like a soft serve vanilla ice cream Timothee Chalamet in the face.
I have the figure for the first movie. I love him. He's one of my favorites to pose.
I know that there's a knockoff S.H. Figuarts Spider-Man 2099 out there that's supposed to be just as good for the price of a Marvel Legends figure, but I don't much much about it whereas I'm very familiar with Marvel Legends.
Fun fact for those of you who may not know, his open hands perfectly fit around Miles' waist. With a support on Miguel so he doesnt tip over, he can hold Miles without sticky tack or a rubber band or another stand or anything.
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I did it immediately.
#spiderman 2099#miguel o'hara#beyond the spiderverse#across the spiderverse#marvel legends#hasbro#action figures#i guess he looks like comic miguel#but in a bad way#oscar isaac characters#gonna add this to the list#hot take#i'm excited for this#toy collector#toy collection

I went to the house of one of the kids I give classes to and IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when I see a bunch of DC and Marvel action figures in her living room.
This is all comes just in time with my new batfam hyperfixation. She had Red Robin, Batmaj, Supes, The joker one I thought was Scarecrow and a few more Im probably forgeting.
But there was one more that I hadn't seen the first time.
It was Batgirl
BAB'S Batgirl
It was the only broken one.
It split on the legs.
#lmao#i had to stop myself from laughing#it seemed like some kind of joke#but it was genuinely broken#not cut#peak comedy#now i want action figures#guess I'll have to wait for the next comic-con#batfam#batfamily#dcu#barbara gordon#batgirl#red robin#batman

Having a paracosm for 7ish years has spoiled me. Trying to not only start but keep a new paracosm going is just. insanely difficult. who are you people what is going on why am I here. all boring answers till everything gets some real development i hate it so much.
#paraportal#system: eternal labyrinth#system: dream a little dream of me#decided to start fleshing out my secondary paracosm universe. which doesnt have a lot going for it#its basically just the scraps of whatever i couldnt fit in eternal labyrinth somehow#like yeah brain...a shitty r0tg rewrite fanfic/au will save us from boredom. sure. why not.#i mean ive had morphues for a while so its nice to put him in action again (same w cloud).#and harper seems cool so far i guess#idk my cosms have v broad concepts (phanta - video games / maac - superheroes/comic books / ff - fairytales)#and daldom is dreams . so far. so i just gotta figure out a way to work w it#maybe add some scifi since i dont typically do that kind of stuff#this'll probably just be like. the opposite of what i typically do/like. just to add some spice yknow.
