#skeletal anatomy

[hiddenstashart]

the saggital crest is a bony structure on the top and back of the skull of some carnivorous mammals, where the temporalis muscle (one of the main muscles responsible for chewing) attaches to the sides of the skull.

generally the larger the crest is, the larger the mastication muscle of the animal to which it belongs.

the illustration above is the skull of a fisher - a member of the mustelid family, along with weasels, otters, wolverines etc.

Chat am I in the wrong tho🙁

ngl I do hope that I have anatomy as next topic in biology so I can flex😎 Also some useful forarm illustration I found! ↓

Practice with skeletons!!

This is why 90% of media that involves archery gets it wrong.

Pick up a glass or bottle with one hand and hold it out in front of you. Which way does the inside of your elbow face?

For most people without archery training, it'll point up. If you shoot a bow like that, the string will hit your arm and make your shot less accurate. Your shoulder will also drop, making your posture wonky and wrecking your stance.

Now hold the same hand out, palm down. The inside of your elbow should point sideways. That's the arm position you need to shoot a bow, but not the hand position. So to properly shoot a bow, you need to rotate just your hand, not your elbow, to hold it. Actors paid to play archers almost never do that on screen.

In practice, once you've done it a few hundred times, you stop doing the hand-motion setup, to the point where every time I hold up anything with my right hand (shovels, brooms, glasses of water) I usually turn my elbow to the proper archery angle.

Arms are weird.

idk what came over me but here take this forgettable au wingdings undertale ARG ass image

speaking of being a mystery image with secrets to be unlocked, i’m gonna refrain from yapping. do the sleuthing yourself I believe in you

ok…. fine….I cant resist…. BUT DO THE TRANSLATING YOURSELF IM NOT DOING EVERYTHING FOR YOU

Ill start by explaining my proccess cause it was quite eventful!

The jumping off a cliff towards something was inspired off of this tiktok :D

Thought it worked GREAT for a character who was so dead-set on his goal he destroyed himself in the process of achieving it… And thats all I had in mind, Wingdings reaching twords his goal (a star/the player) and the rest I just went along with as I drew

I didn’t intend on the background being black, was just a placeholder, so once I finished the line art I fiddled with the color. thought some sort of “blue screen of death” would go well with the themes of what happens to him since he is IN a game. so the universe literally restarts (resets :3) itself to get rid of a glitch (him)

My theory currently is that his goal was to become some sort of player/gain the ability to reset, and once he did that, the game saw him as an error/glitch, so got rid of that- bro IS Turbo from wreck it ralph

After that whole idea- I was looking at some references to replicate the text and it made me go “OOOHOOO” when I saw the QR code like “oooo I could make my own and have some fun with that…” and so I did- and decided to link my original idea for that!

Reference:

I had fun making some differences in the wording to fit the situation

In the end, 2 silly illustrations that are fun to flicker between!

talking about the actual drawing though:

The cliff Dings is running off of has echo flowers because I SWEAR those are important. trust.

Him not wearing gloves is meant to depict how little he cares for his own safety in his last days. I did the same thing in my IM SANE amv!

The “star” having an eye is meant to show how its both the player, and seeing the stars/surface that Wingdings is reaching for.

The wingdings font covering Dings’ face/eye socket is meant to symbolize that perhaps he feels defined by his inability to communicate like other people naturally can.

“Ths Stars, They Cry Out Your Name” is my favorite thing in this… from Wingdings’ perspective, the only thing that matters, that understands him, that TRULY values him…is THE STARS. its like this goal that he has that will make him feel valued. Getting to the surface = being “worth it” But truly, the stars are the PEOPLE that care about him. Asgore, Alphys, Sans, people that are genuinely concerned over his obviously deteriorating mental health- they CRY out his name, not “call” like I had originally planned.

“66%” hehehehhe funy gaster numbr

ok and last thing- Im gonna cry remembering this dialogue from the official Clock App

its so important for this AU, PLEASE

Seikret skull and skeleton for the vid made in accordance with my paravian Wyvern theory. Skeletal references were velociraptor and utahraptor while seikret refs were provided by @krmoaten-blog as always.

Seikret hands are fucked up, their wings attach to the fifth finger when flight feathers irl attach to the second finger, so I worked around by just giving them really bad polydactyly. A thumb, four second digits, and a tiny vestigial third digit. I also modeled the forearms after megaraptors since they’re the only dinosaurs that can pronate their wrists. (I even added little quill knobs!)

I do wish I made the thoracic spine more flexible looking but at least it doesn’t look like it’ll snap if you sat on it like the concept art. Part of the issue when illustrating it and making it look flexible is that as far as I can tell, paraves generally have the same number of vertebrae across genera, so I had to give the seikret 8 cervical vertebrae and cram 12 thoracic, but I couldn’t fit 40 tail vertebrae. The skull I made actually properly attaches to the cranium too.

Also yes I know that the seikret’s shoulders move like a dog’s when running on all fours but shhh

Here’s a duck skeletal articulation I put together!

Another warm up sketch…this one got out of hand

Listen, I think Hel would feel bad for Baldr and totally not feel extra bad because it was her dad’s fault he died. So she’d do what she can to cheer him up.

For the past few days I've been working on a new reference sheet for my main dragon OC, Stark. There's still a while to go before it's finished, and today I decided to take a detour and drew his skeletal structure. Definitely not an expert in anatomy, but it was really fun and I'm happy with how it turned out
