Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:
The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!
So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:
And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:
It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting:
So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:
But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!
I only ever saw the part where people started drawing the limbs outrageously long and genuinely wanted to know how to fix that, so I’m really thankful to see the rest.
Happy one year anniversary to the ending of my absolute fav Star Wars show. I can not believe the Bad Batch ended a year ago. Like how?
This show means so much to me and I will forever be grateful that it exists. Cause I’m so happy that it does. From the amazing compelling characters to the addictive stories, the bad batch is in my opinion, one of the best Star Wars shows. Thank you for giving us clone force 99.
Hunter, Tech, Crosshair, Wrecker, Echo and Omega will always have a special place in my heart. And I hope this show wasn’t the last we see of them.
something i’ve been thinking about based on some posts i saw earlier today:
wrecker is definitely the brother that makes his siblings hug after a fight. prime example right here-
think about it. he’s definitely the most emotionally mature out of the batch. he’s also the only one that really goes out of his way to hug anyone (for the most part) in pretty much the entire show. dude is definitely a hugger. and he thinks everyone else should be too lmao
whenever any of his brothers fight, he makes them hug after. he will keep telling them over and over until they give up and do it. if they’re being really stubborn (because crosshair absolutely would be) push them into it with his brute strength. when he forces them to hug, they can’t get out of it. most of the time it just ends up with them hugging wrecker because he’s smushing them together with his arms. “there there were hugging big guy can you let go of me now?” type shit.
the others would definitely not hug after fights unless wrecker made them. they won’t admit it but it does actually help
