Moth’s crash course for excellent character reference pictures

Or: how to get the artist you commission to absolutely LOVE you

morning/afternoon/evening, friends! Moth here with my baby boy Q’rinha (or Rin, as i like to call him) here with some tips and tricks on how to get some baller reference shots of your character that will make your, and the artists’ you’re commissioning, lives A LOT easier.

one thing i noticed from all the times i’ve been commissioned, as well as some instances of buddies of mine being commissioned, is that the occasional person commissioning us tends to be a bit... lacking when it comes to reference shots. they’re either too low-res or they just show multiple shots of the same angle. the latter isn’t bad, per se, but there tends to be instances where, while there ARE awesome shots of one angle, there are other angles that are unfortunately not as great. asking for more references is normally not an issue, but there are some people (like yours truly ahaha ;;) who are a bit apprehensive of asking for more because we don’t like confrontation and have had experiences where folks were a bit... abrasive.

so that’s why i’m here! i’ve provided many a reference for my girlfriend, who says i’m an artist’s dream come true when it comes to references (idk if she’s actually just gushing with rose colored glasses or if she’s being legitimate). i have no idea how this applies to other artists, as i’ve.. never really commissioned them, but as an artist myself, i know i absolutely need as many references as possible to get every single nitty-gritty detail on these disasters SE likes to call “fashion”. so here we go: Moth’s tips and tricks on how to get amazing reference shots using our good friend: Group Pose!

DISCLAIMER: this is not a proper “how-to”, but more a collection of tips and tricks that i have found helped me as well as other artists get the most out of the fine details in SE’s outfits. feel free to utilize as many or little of these tips as possible.

also, there are A LOT of pictures. folks with slower internet connections, you’ve been warned.

The Basics

if i had to work with an absolute minimum for reference pictures, i would probably work best with eight screenshots minimum.

wait... only eight?!

yes, eight, but bear with me! Group Pose/GPose (or Final Instagram, as i like to affectionately call it) comes with an amazing variety of tools that can help get just the right angles needed at the best resolution possible!

consider the fact that the average monitor resolution these days is 1920x1080, and depending on whether you play the game in Windowed (like me), Borderless Windowed, or Fullscreen, the resolution of your screenshots could end up a little less than that. now granted, when you first boot up GPose and try to get as close to your character as possible, you end up with something along the lines of this (with a bonus photobomb by MAPEL the mammet):

that’s... okay, but it doesn’t help me as an artist see all of the tiny details that’s on the outfit. The seams are hard to see, and the details on the buttons and clasps are pretty much nothing but little blurs. it makes the artist play a guessing game we really don’t want to play. this is when you start utilizing our good friend, the Camera Position section.

the camera position has two meters: Zoom (top) and Rotation (bottom). i personally adore the Rotation meter and abuse it to bits when it comes to coming up with dynamic screenshots, but it’s also a good friend when it comes to references! see, if you set the rotation to either 50 or 150, the character becomes virtually horizontal. and then if you put the zoom at max and make a few careful adjustments...

that looks much better!! all the seams are visible to the naked eye, and the details on the clasps and buttons are more visible. if you go into your FFXIV screenshots folder and rotate the picture left (if you did 50) or right (if you did 150), you basically now have a reference picture that’s almost 2000 pixels high! WILD!!

so back to why i could work with eight screenshots minimum: following this technique, if you take screenshots in both the cardinal and intermediate directions, you end up with eight screenshots of a complete turnaround of your character in hi-res! it lets the artist see the finite details of an outfit in multiple angles without sacrificing a different angle that’s hard to see.

so now that we have that out the way, let’s move onto...

The Background

“wait... why would the background matter in reference pictures?”

oh, it matters. when it comes to reference pictures, the focus must be on the character. having a background that’s too busy could cause eye strain, and it could also cause confusion when the artist is trying to make out finer details.

here’s an example of a busy background. hurts to look at, right? with all of the trees and the colors in the background, it makes it hard to focus on the character when trying to make out details -- imagine trying to stare at this for several hours on end. it’d make me want to close SAI almost immediately.

as a suggestion for a background, i would suggest areas with a lot of neutral, duller colors. try to choose an area that has colors that are not prevalent on your character’s attire, as well. this will make your character the primary focus of the picture while also keeping eye strain to a minimum, which is good for the artist as they’re already working on something that causes a lot of eye strain.

some open-world areas i’ve found are ideal for getting reference pictures are:

The Goblet

Coerthas (Central and Western Highlands)

Ishgard

The Churning Mists

the rocky areas of The Fringes

The Lochs (anywhere outside of the Ala Mhigan Quarter)

The Ruby Sea

Azim Steppe

granted, this is not a complete list, nor is it an absolute must to follow. there are loads of places in the other maps that are full of areas ideal for reference screenshots, and a bit of finagling can make even the most detailed backgrounds easier to look at. consider this as a starter kit for when you do decide to take pictures, but don’t know where.

bonus: if you have a room in a FC house that’s not as busy, those work as well. in fact, a completely empty room is the absolute best and can work to your advantage!

The Lighting

A GPoser’s worst nightmare is working with lighting, and that’s also an issue with artists as well. thankfully, SE recently released an option that will let you freeze the time and weather, but that only goes so far. oftentimes, there will be a shadow that will obscure a detail an artist needs, and we’re found to be putting in extra work just to make sure we get it right.

hence i would suggest working with lighting that’s as neutral as possible. ironically, cloudy or foggy days are what i find works best, as the lighting is neither warm nor cool, and you don’t have to worry about the glare of the sun causing unnecessary shadows.

“okay, i think i’m set and ready to... wait. it’s night time! SHIT!!”

never fear! that’s why we have the Lighting Settings in GPose!

not a lot of people have completely mastered how this section works-- hell, i’m one of those people. however, utilizing all three of these lights can work in our favor! see, if you have your camera set at a specific angle and turn on a light, the light will be pinpointed at the area the camera was in. with this knowledge in mind, we can set the lights at three key locations that will get the maximum amount of lighting with the minimum amount of shadows.

these are about accurate for the angles/distances i put the lights on and the settings i have ‘em on. the default settings are usually too yellow for my tastes, i find, so i usually bump the blue up a notch so that it cancels out the yellow and looks more neutral. with everything like this, it gives me a clear view of everything on an outfit without any intense glare or dark shadows.

this can also work during the day since lighting is usually strong on one side; just turn a light on the shadowed side and boom!

Go the Extra Malm

say you want to go from being an artist’s friend to an artist’s BEST friend. while the eight angles are a good starting point, and even with all the tips utilized here, there will still be details that are obscured by clothes or limbs. while the above tips are good for a basic commission, these will be ESPECIALLY useful if you’re looking for more dynamic artwork.

Getting the Nitty-Gritties.

say your outfit has a lot of pouches or details on their waist, like what you see above. and you can’t see those details because of the limbs being in the way. if that’s the case, you should consider having your character do a pose that has their arms in the air, and freezing the position in GPose. for example, here i have my miqo’te boy doing the /cheer emote. emotes that work for this on most races are:

/cheer

/rally

/hug (or /embrace)

/deny

/stretch

/facepalm

/huh

/congratulate

these are emotes that have most, if not all, races and genders with their hands in the air. this gives you opportunity to take some excellent screenshots with the limbs not in the way.

The Proper State of Undress

say you want a commission of your character partially undressed, or you’re so into providing the most detail possible that you want to get shots of your characters clothes underneath that dope AF coat. in that case, don’t skimp out! try to take reference pictures of the clothes underneath as well. for example, say i have references of my other baby boy Yoseff wearing the Red Mage AF gear; but i know that outfit is chock full of detail, even in the trousers. in that case, i either remove the top completely or have him wear a top that’s as inconspicuous as possible in order for me to get the most detail possible when taking screenshots.

What About Weapons?

say you want a picture of your character doing an AWESOME picture of them in combat with their favorite weapon. usually for flat weapons like swords and axes, one or two screenshots of a full view of a weapon is usually enough. finagle with the angling enough so that every last bit of the weapon takes up the screenshot, and you’re golden. however, if the weapon comes with additions (such as the guard on the Murgleis), then additional screenshots will be needed in order to get clear views of those details as well. just like above, don’t skimp out! also, try to take pictures of the weapon unsheathed!

for swords and axes, the following will work:

a full view of the weapon

the blade of the weapon

the grip/shaft of the weapon

the pommel (if it’s not immediately view-able on the shaft)

for bows, the following works:

a full view of the bow

the top half of the bow

the bottom half of the bow (if the top half is not symmetrical)

the quiver on the back

for staffs and anything else, take pictures of the following:

a full view of the weapon

four screenshots (front, back, both flanks) of the top/area with the most details

the shaft (if applicable)

full view of any additional details the weapons come with (MCH’s aetherotransformer or the RDM’s floating focus, for example)

a full view is ALWAYS recommended as it gives artists an idea of how the weapon’s size compares to the model.

Don’t Forget That Well-Trimmed Hair

one thing that i also like to do but is wholly optional is provide an additional eight screenshots of the head. there are usually smaller details that are missed from the full-view that can only be seen more up close, such as freckles and jewelry. i like to do a complete 360 of the head for a good view of how the hair falls, but for the absolute minimum, about four or five shots of a turnaround of the head will do.

if your character wears hats, take pictures of the hat on and off! not only do hats mess with the hair, but the additional screenshots will give the artist a clear view of the character’s face. this is especially useful if the hat your character is wearing obscures any part of the face, which could result in potentially missed details.

of course, this is only necessary if your character doesn’t intentionally hide their face. additional screenshots of your character’s bare face isn’t needed if they intentionally obscure their face with a mask or helmet.

...And that’s about it!

i hope this guide helped you all out with figuring out what is needed for some amazing references! as i stated in the disclaimer, none of this is intended to be an iron-clad rule. rather, these are meant to be suggestions to help make your life and your artist’s life a lot easier. these have helped me, they’ve helped my artist friends, and i am sure they will help you.

if you have any questions, or if there’s anything you think i missed, don’t be afraid to shoot me an ask! my ask box is always open.

happy snapping!

(Why thank you anon-senpai, my second favorite Dressrosa trio of the series, of course you can have this headcannon, please enjoy senpai!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤)

-Kyros, Rebecca and Cavendish domestic headcannons-

~Kyros~

•Perfect dad, just the best. He's on his toes/toe 24/7 guarding and looking out for his kid's safety whenever they're in the house or outside.

•Cries every night to his partner because he feels like he doesn't deserve such a great family.

•He doesn't know how to cook for the family, the best that he's done are scrambled eggs.

•Even with one leg, he has no troubles running around the house to help out his kid/kids and partner with every problem they have.

•Keeping up with his duties as a royal guard and a family man is no different than when he did it when Rebecca was an infant, heck it's even easier for him since Rebecca insists in helping out whenever he has long night shifts at the castle.

•Reads bed time story to the kids and often falls asleep on the chair mid story and he's also the kind of father/husband that has everything ready for his partner in the morning, folded clothes, hot water for the shower, etc.

•He's kind of a needy hugger, being a toy for 10 years without the ability to feel any form of contact has made him appreciate more when it comes to PDA whether in public (with their consent and when comfortable of doing so) or at home.

~Rebecca~

•We talked about Good Dad Kyros, now we'll talk about Best Mom Becca. She's the kind of mom who allows her kids to do what they want to grow and constantly stay on watch in case something bad happens.

•It's like while watching her children play a game of soccer, she'll go:

"Do your best sweeties! Kick their butts... but not literally!"

•Holds her parents values to heart and will implement that to her kids, she teaches them to defend themselves while also telling them that going too far is not right.

•She loves to have picnic sessions at the sunflower fields outside her house, where she could have fun with her family while letting Scarlett know that she's doing just fine.

•Due to having very little experience when it comes to a healthy familial life and a household life, she tends to find a lot of joy out of basic every day actions, wether its cuddling with her partner, watching TV with the kids or even lazing around during a rainy day.

•As her partner, you'll be expecting sunflowers to be planted all over the house, on the windows, front lawn, etc. Don't call her out on it or else she'll cry, and you shall be demonized.

•She's the super sweet mom that makes food for the kids and somehow knows what they want to eat before they even think about it.

•Rebecca constantly works out in the backyard, she'll benchpress her partner and the kids while also chatting it up with the neighbor about the Strawhats recent escapades.

~Cavendish~

•Welp, I don't know how this happened, but if you somehow managed to get with him and get a house together, you'll have to give your undivided attention to him.

•You'll likely end up in a house where the bathroom is just one giant mirror and a mediocre sized bathtub and your bedroom also happens to have a bed sized mirror always pointed his way.

•Any family photo with the family will have him taking over 70% of the camera and/or he'll do a photobomb whenever they try to take a proper photo by themselves.

•He steals the spotlight during any activity, birthdays, father-teacher reunions, bbqs with the neighbors, etc.

•Cavendish will have no involvement in any chores around the house, don't bother asking him to wash the dishes, mow the lawn or even make dinner cause he'll think that the neighbors might watch him and he doesn't want to be exposed doing dirty activities.

•Knowing that Hakuba can appear any night, Cavendish and his partner sleep in separate beds and getting wrapped in a hundred layers of blankets so that he can't kill the family.

•Caven hates it whenever Luffy appears on the TV, there have been plenty of times where he's threatened to destroy it whenever strawhats face is on the screen, that's why he cant stand his neighbor Rebecca since she talks about him all the time.

Ace’s Mostly MegaTen Room Tour

It’s hard to put into words how I feel about MegaTen, so… here’s my room instead.

Feel free to ask me where I got something! A ton of pictures under the readmore + optional ramblings about my set-ups.

A while ago, I moved into this room cause it’s slightly bigger than the old room I was occupying. It doesn’t have the nice minty blue my old room has, but my decorations are more than colorful enough to make up for it!

Because I planned on moving into this room for ages (it used to be my dad’s band room) I master planned the placement of all my furniture and all the wall décor I had at the time. :B

I love DSRK the most! So it got to decorate the area around the head of my bed!!

Then for the foot of my bed – obviously I had to pay tribute to my personeys, as p3 is kind of my reason for being. It’s a long story, but let’s just say p3 came into my life at a very good time and I have built my current happiness from there. I got this huge B1 size wallscroll with all the characters! The blue is very calming.

Of course, I had to add a bit more SPARKLE to it. So I put in a string of blue LEDs behind the frame. The effect is much nicer when it’s dark.

At the side of my bed is my weird shelf/desk, which I bought specifically cause it was a shelf/desk. I never put up the desk part, lol. It’s just my night stand now. My Surface Pro is right there… with like 8 doodles open in CSP that I’ll never post. :B

Remotes, controllers, a DS that has an 80% finished play through of Strange Journey, 3 tubes of chapstick cause I always misplace them… what more could I ask for? Oh yeah, some Jack Frosts are there too cause you can never have too many Jack Frosts.

Unfinished garage kit of nendoroid Raidou smh. I will start and finish it one day. After my grad degree. I have Raidou’s manga despite not being able to read it, and also the dsrk2 fan book? I used google translate to look at it a bit and laughed at how it calls Louis beautiful/handsome.

Upper half! Some mish mash, another untouched garage kit of Raidou, a Dahn standee that got the top of his hair chopped off when the printer decided to offset the picture, IGNIS, and the Baron! My old prints are behind on the wall along with some free stickers I got way back when from an artist who saw me in my Raidou cosplay, lol. The paper luck locust box is gonna be replaced EVENTUALLY with a really cool 3d printed version my friend modeled!!

A view from my bed. So colorful. Don’t laugh at my shiny drawer paper plastered over the backside of my shelves. >:v Notice P5 doesn’t have a frame yet. It will once I decide I feel like spending money on getting it one. It’s my least favorte personey game, tbqh. I’m actually indifferent to it, but I did buy the CE for collecting’s sake. :p

Another view from my bed. My closet! Funny story about the “DEVIL SUMMONER” over my door – my brother and I went to Home Depot to get some stuff and I wanted some cheap letters to spell it out. My brother goes, “Imagine when we get to the register and the cashier scans them to spell out DEVIL SUMMONER, lol” I shuffled them up to avoid that, but did a shit job so it read, “DEVSIL UMMONER” :x

It’s hard to see but on the coat rack there I have a Raidou-esque cape and hat hung on the third rack. It’s so fun to wear out. ‘ p ‘ I can’t wait til it’s cold enough to wear again!

That curtain rod wouldn’t normally be there, but I discovered it’s a nice way to have some privacy while keeping my door open. I hung up my own prints smh, tho that was kinda the point of ordering them, haha. Katsuya there, ah, he’s like a “good vibes” board where I post good things that have happened with the date on them. I haven’t added to him in a looong time, mostly because I stopped needing to? Everyday’s a good day now. It is nice to look back sometimes if I’m feeling down. I even used cupcake sticky notes since it was Katsuya. I just remembered I even photoshopped him to be smiling, lol.

Also – the fact he’s on the back of my door means as long as I keep my door open then ppl can’t ask me why I have a bigger than life size Katsuya on the back of my door.

An idea I carried forward from my old room. Clear files have art on them and need to be displayed!! The top ones are a paint to keep from peeling off the wall. I’m using an ineffective method that needs changing – I’m just tooooo laaazyyy to get the big ladder upstairs to fix it.

My Yasogami High letterman is on display forever since IT’S NEVER COLD ENOUGH TO WEAR IT IN THIS GODFORSAKEN STATE, at least not yet. I have a lot of jackets to choose from. Maybe I should do a jacket tour.

The thing that divides my room between sleep & play + my little “office”. Raidou, my best boy, is displayed here! I got a light up moon to put behind him. I am a SUCKER for things that light up. You can see Demifiend and Lucifer behind him, then of course Satan there acting as an impromptu jewelry holder. So spiny.

Jack Frost photobombs Satan.

Back to the other things in my room… here’s a poster of Demifiend I absolutely love and a Strange Journey poster I recently acquired! Fun fact, I had a chance to obtain a SIGNED Kaneko SJ poster but hadn’t played it at the time so I didn’t bid. No one bid and it went off the market. This was before the SJ remake was announced too so demand/popularity was nil. Ah, well, at least I got a nice original SJ poster. I wholly prefer it over the remake’s poster. >_> It’s very soothing to walk by… the pictures don’t do it justice!

I plan on buying a blacklight to hang above Demifiend’s poster later. Later.

On the ottoman below the SJ poster is my school backpack (with a small P3/P4 tarot card keychain) and then my general bag I take everywhere. A slightly professionally looking cat bag that I take to work. The “Don’t quit your daydream” pillow was an indirect purchase cause my mom wanted to buy a cushion to put between some huge pots we bought from a home goods store and I got to choose the pillow.

My keychain board! Plus some memories. Look at that good Raidou/Dahn my friend drew me. ‘ p ‘ I love it! There’s also an old xmas/bday card my long time friend sent me a few years ago. I’m sentimental.

Oh yeah, I moved the smt4 wallscroll that used to be in the SJ frame to here. I haven’t played smt4 yet and no idea when, but bought the wallscroll cause it was hella cheap. Maybe there was a reason for that, lol.

Other side of my desk. Catch a glimpse of my Sky High butt mousepad. Hunting that one down was fun.

I bought that blue double frame to put P3 art cards in, smh. Nick Valentine watches over me while I work. He was a gift from my long time friend and was delivered on Valentine’s day!!

Then these next few pictures are just close ups of the collections I have on my tall shelves.

My reason for being… there’s not much else I want for it. I don’t collect EVERYTHING, I collect until it feels “complete”!

Ah, yes, T&B! The otp for life. Those 1/6 scales were not cheap, man. I seriously got my first job at the bux just to start collecting P3 and T&B merch, y’know.

More T&B. I’ve been meaning to get Rock Bison and Blue Rose for a long time, it’s just not so pressing that I’m going to do it any time SOON however. Of course I had money to drop for my best boy Ryan, tho. :B The background thingys are displays I swiped from the bux before they were tossed out.

For someone who’s least favorite Persona game is 5, they have a shelf anyway cause dammit it looks nice. Mostly flash and little substance, as I tend to say when the subject gets brought up. I put Morgana in a shopping cart I picked up at a Daiso for no good reason.

AND THAT’S IT……………… That’s my room. This was an accumulation over 4 years of collecting. I’ve slowed down CONSIDERABLY and don’t buy as much these days simply cause they don’t make what I want. Which is good for my wallet lmao.

I hope you enjoyed whatever this was! And maybe understand how much I enjoy MegaTens, even if I don’t really draw it much.

Kasabian gets photobombed by Prince Charles as they shoot for royalty with new record

[x]

03/05/17

FAME favourably discriminates against rock stars. While their pop brothers and sisters are shadowed by paps and fans, rockers tend to skirt through airport arrival halls or enjoy a beer at the local without the scrum bothering them.

As Sergio Pizzorno, Kasabian’s guitarist, co-vocalist and creative controller, discovered recently royalty also trumps rock stars in the fame game.

The musician found himself plastered all over the British tabloids in February when he was photobombed by Prince Charles while on holidays, savouring a pint in the aptly named Prince of Wales pub in the small Somerset village of Ham Hill.

Pizzorno jokes he thought the bartenders and locals in the pub were behaving oddly towards him when he walked in with his family because he’s a rock star.

“Obviously they knew he was coming. I found out they knew who I was after His Royal Highness left because they were all taking the piss saying ‘Well you thought you were going to be the most famous person in here today, didn’t ya?’” he says.

The next day, several young locals knocked on the door of his holiday cottage to offer their demos in the hope Pizzorno would give them a listen.

He will be hoping for the same courtesy from them when the band’s sixth album For Crying Out Loud is released this week.

The album’s first single You’re In Love With A Psycho didn’t exactly set the charts alight but it has enjoyed a respectable few million listens on Spotify.

Its video caused consternation among a couple of mental health groups in the UK courtesy of the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest movie-inspired video.

But the choreographed danceathon anchored by frontman Tom Meighan and co-starred their good mates, actors Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh) and Stephen Graham (Snatch), was intended to signal the new record is one to get your groove on.

Simply, it was their bid for a Nutbush City Limits-style flash mob.

“I do love to dance, I really do. I’ve got a way. I have a body shape that helps because it kinda looks ridiculous so it kinda works,” Pizzorno says.

“Someone once said I dance like I’m linguine which I thought was quite good. It’s not like those air dancers at car yards, it’s very subtle, there’s not a lot of movement, I keep it quite close.

“I did make that mistake and my wife said ‘you know you’ve just got to tone it down a bit, you don’t need that much movement, keep everything small.’”

For Crying Out Loud is disco-worthy at times and harmony-laden west coast rock in other moments.

Pizzorno cites myriad influences from David Bowie and Fleetwood Mac to Chic and Roxy Music on the follow-up to their more electronic previous record 48:13.

When asked if he expects a call from Chic’s seminal guitar god and producer Nile Rodgers regarding some of the Chic-channelling riffs on their record, Pizzorno delightedly exclaims “I would take that call.”

“I would say Nile and (bassist) Bernard were definitely talked about between me and our guitarist Tim Carter in the studio. There was a photo of them two and late night we did recreate it in the studio. Roxy Music and ESG (Emerald Sapphire & Gold) were what we were really trying to tune into too,” he says.

But guitars figure as strongly as the beats and the voices which was more a creative accident than a goal when Pizzorno first started working on the record a year ago.

“I saw this little banged-up Hofner guitar in the corner of the studio which made me wrack my brain for the last really good guitar album, one of those ‘70s classics like Spiders From Mars,” he says.

“We don’t really make guitar albums; they’ve got guitar on them. Obviously taking the piss, let’s try and save guitar music, let’s try to remind people what’s great about a tune played with guitars like The Ramones did or Fleetwood Mac did. We talked a lot about the 70s in the studio too.”

Kasabian are playing festival after festival throughout Europe as part of their campaign to drive For Crying Out Loud up the pop charts this year.

They will headline a night at the annual Reading and Leeds events in August, sandwiched between fellow main stage closers Muse and Eminem.

The rock star in him wants to claim they will blow them off stage. The music fan in him wants to stand side of stage and watch them.

Yeah, you take a deep breath when you see Muse and Eminem on those posters too. I’m fine with it. We’re ready now,” he says.

“If it was a few years back, I would have definitely fronted it but I would know it wasn’t going to be easy.

“But with this album and the songs we already have, we’re ready. We’re better when we’ve got something to prove, I think all bands are.”

Kasabian plan to return to Australia next year.

Do you have any bad relationship experiences from your past? Well I haven't been in any "relationships", at least not serious ones where I'm like "hey this is my boyfriend so and so". None of my dating experiences have been bad per se, but they also haven't been great. During they were fine, it's the towards the end/after that is eh. Basically dating in college is a waste of time if you're looking for something mildly serious/not tryna just hook up, and all the boys you talk to are. But they don't seem that way.
