Void Reverence @voidreverence - Tumblr Blog

It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Imagine having this account for 5yrs and barely post on it. Couldn't be me

Once it was you. (Writing blurb from 2022)

*One morning I happened to be out, roaming the streets, heading to my place of paradise, as I like to call my peaceful abode. Until, somehow, something caught my eye, a glint of sunlight that had shimmered off of a piece of metal. My gaze moved towards what caught my interest. Only to see some stranger running in the opposite direction. My curiosity got the better of me as I had chosen to follow. After a pointless and tiring sprint to keep up, I paused and peered my head over the side of the building. I got a full glance at their armor. They had seemingly been talking to who I'd presume was their superior. Just then they proceeded to take off their helmet and I had hoped to see their face, but instead was blinded by the sun glaring off the visor, I moved and rubbed my eyes. When I looked back, the mysterious figure was gone.* "I haven't seen them since. The only thing up to this day that I remember, is the suit made of red, like stereotypical roses and back accents which quite nicely complimented the shape." __” Are you okay?"__ "Huh?!" __"You were talking to yourself again."__ "I was? My bad, don't mind me."

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.
