we're so back part 2
Day 6: Soul
simple little ref sheet guide with some tips relevant for any amount of detail! With Art Fight season around the corner they're some good things to keep in mind :)
other miscellaneous tips
if your character has detailed markings that need to be accurate (like tattoos), place the reference for it on a rectangular transparent section so it can be selected easily for copy/paste!
if your reference is for art purposes, try to keep it relevant to art! lore can help, but a lot of backstory text can make it difficult to tell what's important when drawing them
important things to include as written details are heights, weights / body types, pointing out any intentionally unusual proportions, and other things that may be interpreted as an art style (or that your reference may not accurately convey)!
if you can't draw something the way you want others to draw it, you can just insert other photos / screencaps for others to reference!
always have a SFW version. not one with censor blocks over the bits, I mean one that doesn't have the bits out at all. put some underwear on that beast. it's common courtesy.
ADD ALT TEXT. write a description of your character! bullet point lists of succinct traits are clearest for artists to work with when commissioned. having both a written and visual reference makes it possible to verify things

Ta-Da!!
I was really bored, so how about you guys send me questions?
It could be about my Hollow Knight AU, if you want, for the characters themselves too!! I will be happy to answer them
flatid planthopper nymph, Singapore. hemipterans (true bugs) like these have mastered the art of covering oneself in weird waxy filaments, which are shed along with their last juvenile molt, revealing a sleek, gossamer-winged adult
Stealing like an artist (hopefully)

i wonder how their relationship was like
I steal (like an artist), so I;d recommend you change ur locks, chum. (Most of this isn’t mine, if you didn’t already get that impression). If something isn't credited, that's because this is an art reference blog.
