do you have any good references for bigger body types?
Yes!
I use a fat model tag here on Tumblr.
You can sometimes search by model name in my DA Archive if you know a certain model has a body type you are looking for. Here's a guide to everyone though I'm never tagged by name:
My site gallery has a sort by body type though it's a WIP on how I will label and tag them.
I can also recommend fatphotoref.com which you will need to apply to to access. It's a community based resource run by Ruby so please be patient if you request access. 🥰
Here's a few just to have in this post, too!
Doing some quick planning with another model project today, this time some British infantry for the game ‘Bolt Action’, something fun to play at my local tabletop club
So I feel bad about infodumping all at once about the weird things I noticed; but I do want to say this so I don’t sound like an idiot compared to everything else I post about
Okayyyy, so you may have noticed when I started picking through the deep-internet info and trailers on Don Bluth’s previous attempt to reboot the series that Dirk without his chainmail looked like this
Whicchhh is kindof like a mix between a bob a short-cut and mullet sort of. But also the 80’s movie started looking like this
That looks nothing like him, idk who that man is
To which my art looked more consistently like this
So, what am I doing exactly? Am I ignorant? Am I going against the flow for the fun of it?
If you listened to anything relating to the scrapped movies or anything I said about it, you would know that the movie plots center more around adding in typical kingdom drama (like making Dirk a lost prince-and making Dirk and Daphne grow up like siblings but then turn around and say they were supposed to get married at 6) and doesn’t actually explain game canon and rather retcons and complicates it 🤷
So either way we say it’s not canon!
But at the same time; other media like the comics sort of do the same thing I do
In the comics, it shows Chad Dirk having a shorter cut, likely more suitable when wearing chainmail; but somehow retconning the canon style by designing the front a lot shorter like it’s singed for some reason????
But at the same time he has a brief cameo in the Space Ace series and they somehow made it look more accurate
Anyways, my final point is to rather trust the main series rather than anything Don Bluth or anyone else gets to excited about and runs off with, because I based mine around the three frames that allow you to actually see it
Okay. That’s it. Hope this gave you useful knowledge or some kind of drawing tip.
Thank you for listening to my nonsense. Bye now ✌️
Bring food and a drink even if they provide food. Especially if you have allergies or if you are vegan.
Bring a warm coat and comfy shoes to wear between shows and rehearsals.
Extra heels. Someone always forgets heels.
No vpl nude underwear. Nipple covers because sometimes you can’t wear a bra.
Safety pins for anything that doesn’t quite fit.
Double side tape, scissors, insoles and hairspray for your shoes. Often they won’t fit or they will slip. Spray the bottoms of your shoes. Double side tape them or scratch the bottoms, it adds extra grip.
Double side tape can be used for so many things. Its a must in my book.
A sewing kit for any mishaps (you will be a designers best friend)
A hair brush, face wipes and extra make up for after the show, don’t want your skin getting bad.
Sunglasses, I never wear makeup before the show because it gets done there so I hide under big sunglasses.
Headphones/ a book/ a small console and games. There can be a lot of waiting around.
A dress for after parties
Straws (for drinking with and not messing up lipstick)
I think that’s about it. If I think of anything else I’ll add it later.
Are you big fan of Michael Jordan brand shoes, such as Air Jordan series? With Jordan Shoes becoming more popular nowadays, there are growing numbers of efforts that many black market manufacturers are putting their time into that they try to make fake product. These fake products not only hurt the retail environment where consumers might lose their confidence in buying genuine ones, but also…
