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!

[fernacular]

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!

Licherally in the midst of drawing a guy and crying at how bad the arms are. Thanks Tumbles

[drrockbell]

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.

this was a great read. “Laziness Does Not Exist” by Devon Price

[paradoxfound]

The latest piece I’ve done (last upload for now, I promise!). CWinter6 on Twitter commissioned their half-orc devotee of the Raven Goddess, Chrys! I had a lot of fun working with the dual concepts of life and death on this one~

[paradoxfound]

Really, I’m just catching up on uploads here since I finally managed to log in! Another commission~ This time of the commisioner’s Masks character, Christopher. I love plant boys so this one was particularly exciting for me <3

[paradoxfound]

Been doing a lot of these lately. This is Farwin’s super angsty boy, Sandro and boy, was it fun to do! Farwin helped with the composition for this- I was more than happy to expand upon their idea <3

[paradoxfound]

Araphine, daughter of Thor! A commission for a good personal friend of our party’s Cleric~

Everything is terrifying, but humans are so strong. 

Societies at my university are doing food bank drives. Italians are singing on their balconies and cheering health workers that go by. My university originally wasn’t going to close so lecturers took matters into their own hands and cancelled their classes, and now the university IS closing. When the government response isn’t strong enough, people are cancelling mass gatherings themselves and isolating to limit the spread. One of my friends is streaming to her self-isolating friends. My mum is going back to work tomorrow in an NHS reception. The Australian Grand Prix got cancelled and now 10,000+ people are watching an esports game version of the race on Twitch and making memes about it. All over the world, people are trying to cheer each other up.

My biggest problem with apocalypse movies, with zombie tv shows, has always been the way it portrays a world post-disaster. When humans were living in caves and hunting for survival, they drew art on the walls and told stories that were passed down in oral tradition. When London closed for the plagues, theater troupes would go around the country performing for the smaller villages instead. The human drive to create, to entertain, to adventure, to see and do new things, has always been and will always be unmoved by a crisis. 

So yes people are panic buying, yes employers and governments are being selfish and cruel. But more than ever this has highlighted that, that is not what humans are. It’s something we’re pushed to be by this society, actual cruelty is an outlier.

I’ve been clinically depressed for a long time, so it feels bizarre to say: I love humans. I am overflowing with how much I really, truly, love us. Humans are silly, tender, hopeful, and social creatures. Even something as small as a long train journey, delayed and late at night, is enough for humans to take up solidarity. No matter what happens, what state the world is in, what alterations we have to make to our lives, we will never escape being recognizably, inherently human. Thank god.

Cruelty is an outlier.

Wow I totally forgot to put Grant on here how did this happen we just don’t know... Grant’s been healing wounds since 2012 in our Mutants and Masterminds campaign~

[paradoxfound]

Just gunna post this guy up too because why not? Cylas aka The Watchbot. Twin ‘brother’ to Adam/Tesla. They’ve got a pretty complicated background but we love them. Cylas has this whole ‘big brother’ cyborg mentalist thing going on so this was a lot of fun to design with that in mind.

[paradoxfound]

Guess who never updates their art blog? Me. I never update my art blog...  That’s alright, probably.  Adam aka Tesla aka Son of Khets, one of our Mutants and Mastermind GM’s proxies (his hero logo is in the upper left hand corner). He’s a dragon! Badass!

I think it’s really interesting, how polarized opinions are on the characters and content of this show. It’s so nuanced, I’m pretty much in love.

Anyway- problematic faves
