Some Ofmd Stuff While I’m Here

I have a brush tail possum if that’s close enough.

Anyone out there with a Rat fursona?

I just have a question

if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this

Soldier, Poet, King

anyone else scared of single player minecraft. not just like oh it’s scary to mine alone. but the odd paranoia that there is another user there. that you’ll be playing alone and leave your house and there’s a person standing there. or you’re mining and there’s a user standing in the path you mined that leaves when you see it

Listen I'm an avid believer in letting people do what they want as long as it's not literally evil but that post that says "the x reader community needs to be quarantined" or something like that is so fucking funny and real. Motherfuckers are literally everywhere in every single tag you can't escape it

I'm kind of a beginner when it comes to poses and uh, dinamism, how do you come out with your poses? It just comes to mind or do you find some pose and use it in your drawings? I feel like I have no imagination when it comes to it, and when I do, I cant find the right reference so I'm lost at anatomy

it’s part of imagination and part reference. without getting too long winded, it helps to have a general understanding of anatomy and how the body can look in perspective. but for dynamic poses it’s important to just capture the gesture of the pose so you can really feel movement i guess… like try drawing with your whole arm and doing your first sketch in a minute or less! the more your refine a piece, you’ll be tightening it up and losing some of the strong gesture so don’t be afraid to really push it at first

the soulburner drawing was mostly from imagination (i started with a photo ref but ditched it immediately) but like you can see in the process video i did a bunch of really fast, exaggerated sketches of the pose before reeling it in to something more tight and toned down

alternatively- i’ve been wanting to experiment more with dynamic poses which has led me to a bad habit of impulse buying pose collection books from a japanese bookstore near me

i only have fighting pose collections but they’re really good to pull from! i don’t usually copy the poses exactly and just use them for reference so it’s pretty handy and versatile. most of them include both clothed and semi-clothed reference of the same actions which is also neat

these books can be kind of expensive but there are a lot of free pose sites and collections around the internet as well (for example off the top of my head, senshistock) 

but yeah i’m kinda talking out of my ass so i hope this gives you a couple ideas (´ . .̫ . `)

Flash warning for the bottom clip!! It’s just a Timelapse of this.
