This Was Already Talked About In Someone Else’s Post, At Least Regarding The 200x Motu Comics And How

I can’t fathom any legitimate reasons anyone might actually like Stolas that aren’t covered with rose-colored glasses.

It makes me curious as to how people all process his actions differently, considering I used to like him before I put a little more thought into why I even did in the first place.

I can just imagine how awful it would be to be friends with Stolas

Not only are you dealing with a man who can never stop crying about things that he himself caused, this man also sings about his pain and istg is the definition of “woe is me”

Like just…. Shut up… please.

And like, what the hell are you even gonna talk with him about, he’s a royal prince, is all you’re gonna talk about golf?? I mean, if you like golf then good on you but it’s not much to talk about other than ball drop in hole! Do you watch Happy Gilmore once a week?? And he’s like “this Adam Sandler gentleman is quite humorous” of course he is! It’s fucking Adam Sandler, the guy who was in Click! (Why have I pivoted to Adam Sandler-)

And….then there’s also the other, problematic parts of him. But I’m sure I don’t need to clarify.

But realistically would anyone ACTUALLY want to be friends with Stolas, if you take everything into account about him?

lol

You may get asked this a lot, so please excuse my ignorance - but how do you go about constructing character expressions and body language and such? Thanks!

Besides The Basics (construction of heads and skulls and muscles and skeletons and how they move), I’ll go over some things I’ve been trying to work on myself lately:

1. Treat expressions as a single gesture of the face/head, as opposed to a head and then individual features dumped on a plate and arranged into an expression.

First, just get down the big shapes of your expression, just like you would for a pose.  

So say I wanna do a low angle angry pose.  I know the features are gonna be all mashed down at the bottom because of perspective.

 Scribble it down

start to put on features

fix stuff

put on more stuff

fix stuff again

erasing and flipping and stuff a whole bunch until you are happy with it or stop caring

Whole head is a gesture!

2. Just like a facial expression, jot down where the important parts of an entire pose goes first.  You can force the rest of the body to fit the pose.

So here I knew I wanted the shoulders tilted a certain direction, and te hand to be in that particular position in front of her face. 

That’s the simplest explanation I got.  Don’t be afraid to push and pull faces and bodies around! Worry about being “on model” last!

please note the size difference between raya and namaari 😭😂
