Actor Au By Ethojoshi And Festerandrot From Twt Lol

hi !!! i wanted to know if you have a few tips on how you do your poses ? im not the greatest at them and want to see what others have to offer ^v^''

also , i absolutely ADORE your art ! it motivates me a lot

first of all thank you sm!! poses are literally my favourite thing to plan out so ill try my best to explain ghdfskl

so i usually break the body shape down like this

the body is basically like a 2-part rectangle which i can push in whatever direction i want to lead the pose- i like to exaggerate the shape to emphasise the uhh force of that push ig? i just play around with it until i get the energy i want

for idle/straight on poses i try to make them seem like they're doing something so that the pose forms more of a trapezium than a stiff rectangle, let the characters have some fun!

at this stage i don't really mind if the anatomy isn't completely accurate since i can fix that at the lineart/2nd sketch, im just focusing on getting the flow down so i let my lines be loose, just as long as i know which limb goes where then im good

also back poses!! most of the time you see the front of the character so drawing the back can be refreshing for me :) they flow just as well as the front ones too!

the same pose can be drawn in different angles- sometimes i put down a (very freestyled) perspective grid to define the space around the character and see where they can stand, and imagine a floating camera depending on where i want the focal point to be

you also don't really need to fret about following the grid to a T, just as long as they look grounded and the angle seems right

i like to slap down a few random grids to see how the character can interact with them, and they don't even need to be touching the character- they're just guidelines after all

for me i think of poses with a main line of action and a secondary contrasting motion (though sometimes one main line is enough), the second line adds a little flair and weight while the main is what you see at first glance

use references also! i can't emphasise that enough!! there's always pinterest or (especially for action poses) fight scenes from storyboards or from the finished film, which i love looking through frame-by-frame bc the keyframes and in-betweens are gold mines for inspiration- lego monkie kid is one of my go-to's for high energy poses!

aand that's all i got for now, hope this helps ^_^

Theories and Headcannons Pt.11

So this theory is basically how Real Life is Third Life created by the Watchers as a punishment for Grian and his group of friends or the other contestants.

After the success of the previous Life Series games that provived enough pain, anguish and drama to satisfy the Watchers, they decided to create a rendition of Third Life to torture Grian once again as afterall by lore standards, it was Grian who first created Third Life.

The twist the Watchers decided to implace onto Real Life where to incoporate compeititors such as Pearl who had a persona who would be easily influenced by bloodlust and dispose of the competitors that they had deemed too weak or ineffecient. This was all done in an attempt to replicate the feeling of torture and anguish at Grian and the other original contestants during Third Life.

But this ultimately failed as Real Life ended quickly through the combined efforts of the contestants crowning Cleo as the new victor. Completing the sextet of winners all linked together through their soul-link bonds. And having the Watchers fail in their endeavour to replecate Third Life as another death game punishment.

wuh, tilly the god au ep 2 (part 2 of ??)

starting stuff / prev / next (wawawawawa)

THEORIES NUMBER 10

So this theory completely unrealted to the Watchers, but is about the relationship between Bdubs and Scar (GTWS) specifically an invisble bondage otherwise known as a soul-link or soul-bound between them.

Take Season 7. When Scar was elected mayor over the Shopping District, Bdubs by himself, volunteered to be the assistant of Scar. Thus establishing the soul-link bond. And during his mayoral leadership, Bdubs was there supporting Scar during the Mycelium War and other events. Strengthing the already established bond.

And then there's Season 9 with the infamous RenTheKing council which included Scar as the hitman of sorts and Bdubs as the assistant to Ren along with the other members of Cubfan and Cleo. So more soul-link and bondage moments which reinforce the theory that Bdubs and Scar may have a soul-link forged way before the events of the Life Series.

So I guess soulmates be bromates.

OH GREAT SOPUU PLS TEACH ME ON PERSPECTIVE 🙏🙏🙏

SHDJFK UHh i think this post covers most of the stuff i wanna say!

and hmm this is one thing that sorta goes unsaid but try to avoid what i call waffle grids! like your typical tic-tac-toe grid where both vertical and horizontal lines are parallel to their axis cause it’ll just look very flat.

if you slant them to point to a certain…point tho then it makes everything look more dimensional!

same thing if it’s angled- take this top down view for example

the top drawing’s lines ARE slanted but again, verticals and horizontals are parallel and the surface/intention isn’t well defined. so using 1 or 2 point grids you can get a bunch of different results depending on what you want with the same top down angle

oh also sometimes i cheat by drawing the grid after the character lol BUT it helps learn what kinda grid suits what pose! so try that too if it works for you :)

same predicatment here not be able to post a thoery

sorry for the late notice but I may be unable to post a weekly theory because of assestments and assigments
