oops so i'm posting babble here mostly because it's a place to put it and also i think katie might find some vague amusement in reading what is basically me talking to myself haha
i'll put stuff under read mores and tag it probably with both houserp and thoughtbabble just eff whyyy ayee .
read it if you want but it'll be mostly vague oc/story shit haha
so liike i'm doing more actual anatomy studies that is as much actual anatomy studying an easily distracted teenager with an anatomy book can do but.
i really like having varying builds n etc for characters in mind at the same time as i build personalities mostly because i really like some visual aspect of the character to represent what goes on mentally and maybe that's weird idfk. but. i put way more thought into actual body builds than is probs necessary so whatever.
but i was looking at stuff and kinda doodling and mostly comparing Dark and Cio because AAHHH FOILS and while Cio is just built taller and thinner, he would have more muscle definition because he LITERALLY ANTAGONIZES MONSTERS where Dark would be slightly thicker but that would be more bone structure than muscle build. so i'm looking at this book of mine and it talks about the varying shapes of thoracic arches which I find pretty fascinating because chests and backs can hold so much character and they get overlooked a lot so like???
So Cio would have a more rounded, Greek arch, though I think for stylistic purposes I'll square it up a little because really there ain't nothin about that boy that's soft.
And Dark would have a more Skeletal arch, but also stylistically I will probably alter the shape just slightly to a more rounded cone because SHAPE FOILS.
okay i'm done avian chest shapes oh jeez i've not even thought much about the altered structure for wings other than extra shoulder blades I need to work on how that would affect the front torso hm
