Animation tips

Forgot I had these! These are redlines I did for Mathieu Hains (who animated the beautiful color segment). This was from his first blocking pass

Was a very good lesson in "why turnarounds and expression sheets are important" and "your boards will not always be interpreted by an animator the way you see it in your head"! All Mathieu had to go off of was my boards and the original character sheets (VERY limited reference haha) but he's also a great artist so he created a very solid foundation and my redlines were just to help guide the drawings to what I imagined

This is my favorite type of yandere, soft himbos

Another of my Yan boys!! This is Teddy, your absolutely adorable pizza delivery boy! (the last picture is his most recent example c: and a commission I’m fond of <3) He knew Y/N back in HS however was known as the silent “muscle” of a delinquent group resulting in a eventual break down and expulsion from school. Afterwards he was aimless till getting a job from his grandfather at a family friends pizza place where he soon became #1 Pizza Boy set to inherit the place when the owner passes (they have no children of their own and Teddy as grown to love the place) Teddy is a orphan (one parent died, the other abandoned) and growing up he has grown what appears at first to be a split personality named Ted. However this is actually a parasite of otherwordly beings that got stuck in his head and now gives him bad bad thoughts.  While Ted is the loud obnoxious type, Teddy is rather silent especially when around Y/N which flusters him to mute levels. But he would do anything you ask of him, being a big Himbo of sorts and refuses to let anyone else deliver pizza to you. Fun Facts: * 6′7″ and BIG BULK MUSCLE (he was chubbier younger but still rather big).  * Around 27-30yrs Old * H I M B O* Parasite Personality is called TED and a indicator hes the one in control is Teddys eyes opening * Trying to be a better person for Y/N due to the shame of what happen in HS* Went to Juvie for a year due to the HS Incident * Loves affection and will absolutely melt and maybe cry to a sincere hug* Somehow never tires of eating Pizza * Absolute Disney Fanatic and loves the classic movies, knows all the songs by heart (and can sing rather well but hes very shy) * While he seems rather sweet and gentle around Y/N hes not so much with others when Y/N isn’t looking, and will take no shit from people scamming him at work or rude customers.

So sweet

When you made a new friend cuz you’re both anxious messes.

When I saw that door opening scene in TADC, and it reminded me of that scene in Courage the Cowardly Dog where Courage was opening doors and each doors had weird stuff behind it that traumatized the poor boi.

I have seen so many fanarts of Pomni and Kobeni but none with Courage who was one of the OG anxious cinnamon rolls.

I REALLY love the Persephone's Butterflies in this preview. Amazing really

there's no wrong answer here, i really just wanna gauge what y'all would rather get! <3

if we post the first half today it'll be up this evening, only caveat is that obv it means a shorter release (but we do get a couple fun character introductions within that time!) and that dillyhub won't get updated until the episode is fully completed after the second half (so if you're exclusively a dillyhub reader uhhh sorryyyyyy.... 😔😅)

whereas if we put off the update another week, it'll be more waiting, but you'll get the full 45+ panel episode from start to finish the way it was intrinsically designed !

obv perfect world would be the episode getting posted in full when it was due but 2025 is apparently dead set on throwing roadblocks at me so this is what we have 🥴 (i figure the least i can do is give y'all some choice in the matter of how we deliver the next episode, if anything at least to soften the blow LOL thanks y'all for putting up with meee)

I think I'll talk about this later

the happy end

25 posts!

fat bodies tutorial!

ALRIGHT SO my pal @kalreyno wanted help with drawing fat characters and as a fat artist i felt like i could give a bit of helpful insight on that. there’s also been a lot of complaining about “boo hoo fat characters are hard to draw so i can’t include them in my work Ever” goin on lately so if that’s your case then this is for you too!! and also just for anyone who would like help with fat bodies in general, ofc. anyway, let’s get this show on the road!!

let’s start with some common misconceptions. these are the two main attempts at chubby bodies i run into, so i’ll focus on them. 

the Anime Chubby i see everywhere, and it’s just……so wrong in many ways. first of all, there is almost no additional body fat compared to your average thin character - except for where it’s added in “attractive” places (breasts, hips, thighs). the breasts are way too perky, and don’t have the realistic shape fat would give them (though how to draw accurate breasts is another tutorial all on its own lmao). there is still a thigh gap, which usually only happens in very thin people, and bones are still visible on the surface of the skin, which also rarely happens in fat people.

the Michelin Man is better in some ways, but still not that great. it’s a slightly better attempt, but basically all that’s done there is taking a thin character and blowing them up, while giving no thought to fat distribution. the thigh gap is usually still present, and they look a lot more hard than soft - and fat is very soft and pliable.

here’s a chart on how fat usually distributes (if you can’t read my messy writing, “1. next to no fat, 2. moderate amount, 3. most of the fat distribution”). basically, the more muscle an area has, the more prone it is to develop fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms. it’s important to note that fat sits on top of muscle, and that it does distribute in different levels, and not evenly across the body as shown in the Michelin Man. 

now, here’s an accurate fat body with all of that kept in mind!! notice how the fat isn’t only kept to aesthetically pleasing areas, and how it sits realistically on the character’s body. their breasts sag a lot more, which happens even in thin people with larger breasts, and the nipples are pointing more downwards than straight out. there is no thigh gap in sight, there are no bones in sight, and most importantly, they have fat rolls, which are very important in drawing a convincing fat character!! as far as i know i’ve never met a single person with no rolls at all, and everyone has them, whether thin or fat - they’re just more prominent and more consistently present in fat people. pay close attention to where they are and how they’re shaped.

here are a couple of drawings showing how fat is affected when sitting vs stretching. as seen in the first, the fat specifically on the stomach is distributed a lot more evenly and stretched out, so it becomes “flatter”. the love handles are still pretty visible, though, as well as the fat on the thighs and arms. the breasts are raised with the shoulders, and the fat on the shoulders and near the neck forms rolls as it’s being pushed together. 

in the second, there is a lot less room for distribution, so the fat is all pushed together. the breasts sag and the stomach forms rolls and spills into the lap. a good analogy for the way fat works is to liken it to a water balloon, and thinking of how its shape would change when resting flat on a surface, hanging off of a ledge, held upright, etc.

here are a few extra tips i find a lot of people miss!

first on the top is the hip/pubic region. the first circle is showing the way the bellybutton is folded in fat people, as opposed to stretched out in thinner people. the second is the stomach fat spilling over onto the pubic region and creating a separation in the two areas, which is something that’s missing in a lot of art. in addition, the pubic mound also gains fat, making it round as seen in the profile drawing i did up there (i’ve heard people refer to it as fupa?). the last in the hip region is the lack of a thigh gap. i can’t stress this enough!!!! if you’re trying to draw a convincing fat character, make sure their thighs are pretty much always touching!! for reference, mine literally don’t separate until my feet are about 2ft from each other.

the bottom right is showing the double chin, which a lot of people are afraid to draw!! fat does distribute itself here too, and there’s nothing wrong with it, so don’t feel like you shouldn’t give fat characters a double chin in your work for fear of it looking like a caricature.

in the bottom middle, it’s showing how fat affects different types of breasts with the presence of more or less breast tissue. 

lastly, at the very right are stretch marks with their usual locations and directions, which i also can’t stress enough!!!!! i sometimes forget to add them honestly, but they’re so important in accurately portraying fat characters, as they literally come from the skin being stretched from fat being gained (and they’re also just rlly neat lookin like why wouldn’t you lmao). some people have less and some people have more, feel free to experiment with them!

the last thing is body types!! there isn’t one single way for a person to be fat, so feel free to experiment with shapes once you’ve learned the basics!! 

so there you have it, a tutorial on how to draw chubs!! now go forth and make some accurate fanart or some rad fat characters, because the world could always use more of both. hmu if you have any questions or concerns, and thanks for reading!!

EDIT: someone pointed out the bad wording in the tutorial. thank you for bringing it to my attention and sorry for offending anybody. i’ve updated the tut, so please reblog this one!

I tried the thin line art for a comic I'm doing, I sort of regretted it I probably should have used a thicker brush. But on the flip side I gotten better of using the erase lasso when doing thin lines. Anyway this is probably my favorite art study of @genericpuff's journey in mastering Lore Olympus art style but if you ask me I like where Lore Rekindled is and I love how it's art style looks, you can see Genericpuff's art style mixes in and impacts the story even to it's most tiny details.

I also love how she makes the butterflies and wild flowers glow.

doing more style studies, here's LR persephone with the stylization of pilot era LO , with some of the effects I use in LR (but adjustments made to the lineart style because looking back a lot of the pilot era LO pieces that I loved had really thin lineart, which i've always been really bad at doing sksksksk)

Based on the ask about the half greek person, as a greek person who lives in greece and who's whole family leaves here, I can see in Persephone's characterisation a lot of us here. I love how she may be naive sometimes, sheltered and all but by no means is she weak. She's feisty and can fend for herself. I also like how sometimes she is sassy (or cynical? If Imr describing correctly english isn't my first language).

In general, places locations etc feel different in LO rekindled - which by the way I've noticed the the mortal realm in LO feels very similar in almost every scene we see it idk how Rachel manages to make literal nature look static and uninteresting.

Tldr: as a greek person desperate for good representation I love this.

I read this back when you submitted it but haven't had a chance to respond until now ! I'm so happy to hear that our version of LO is also managing to be better representation. I'm not Greek myself and neither is my assistant, but we both have a lot of love for the stories and myths that come from Greek culture so I'm really relieved and happy to hear that those of you who are Greek are connecting with the work and find it to be more representative and accurate than LO was originally.

Ultimately Rekindled's version of the myth and stories that LO attempted to recreate is attempting to also be its own standalone thing, with its roots as a response to LO to be supplementary to the experience if you're someone who's read LO and was dissatisfied with its original interpretations. I don't want people to enjoy it just because it's "not LO", I want people to be able to enjoy it even as its own story! So it makes me so happy to hear that our efforts are paying off and it's actually accomplishing that <3
