I Have Feelings About A Fictional Character And I’m About To Make It Everyone Else’s Problem.

Funky little ai with abandonment issues? SIGN ME UP!!!

Is it still tracing, in your opinion, if u go for just the pose but use your own OC?

Yes, that's still tracing.

Changing the character doesn't magically erase the fact that you traced.

If you want a pose to use for your artwork, you can use tools where you can make your own poses, or select one from the gallery that is specifically made for artist reference instead of disrespectfully ripping off another artist. All of these below are free:

JustSketchMe

PoseMy.Art

MagicPoser

Pose Maniacs

Line of Action

Figurosity

HandArtTool (Mobile)

You can literally find all of these just by googling 'art tool pose'. There's tons more that aren't listed here, especially on android and apple play stores that's avaliable for free.

You can also use a reference image from someone who specifcially creates reference stock images for artwork and comics, like AdorkaStock on DeviantArt who's pretty famous for creating such a huge, organized gallery for artists to use for reference.

It's not hard not to trace.

I mean.. technically the Theater is part of the Daycare, too…

These designs aren’t final at all- in fact I already have things I want to change but for the time being have some mersun and mermoon :)

Elections kicked my ass. Time to focus on drawing until the dread dies a bit

sometimes i get paranoid that im being watched so to make myself feel better i imagine that its actually alien scientists watching me desperately trying to record and analyze human behavior, and every time i open the fridge without grabbing anything they slam their head on the desk, absolutely baffled as to why i repeat these strange rituals for seemingly no reason and it always makes me giggle

Tumblr seems to make most of my stuff look incredibly crunchy and I'm not sure how it'll handle GIFs. So! I'm gonna post this short lil animation as a test and later I'll see about posting some of my bigger ones.

Sun is informed that he's someone's favorite animatronic :)
