Before anyone asks, yes, that skeleton at the top belongs to an owl. It’s not a chicken, it’s not a hawk, it’s an owl. Owls are all puff and no bone. That’s why they’re the silent killers of birds. They blend in, swoop without sound… they’re frickin’ ninjas.
A perhaps workable fuck-ton of running references (per request).
[From various sources.]
(….. There is no rational reason for it to be this bloody difficult to find human running references…….) Just recognize that there are a few different kinds of running. The torso can be hunched over or upright. Understand the weight distributions and what happens if suddenly stopped. (I don’t know as much about running as I ought to… I would suggest looking up “how to run” tutorials on YouTube.) O! And a common mistake is to make the front leg straight; DON’T DO THAT. The front leg, even when extending, is bent! The only time it’s straight (like in the green GIF) is when the body is rising high enough off the ground to allow the leg to fully extend.
[And, allow me to clarify some of the comments that’ve shown up on this particular post: The first image IS accurate. The figure isn’t moving up and down because it’s going incredibly fast. The faster you go, the less you bob vertically. The Quinto/Cumberbatch GIFs are great examples of that. Also, yes, if you’re going for practicality, the faster you run, the more of an angle you’ll stoop to. But, mind you, the Star Trek GIFs are from a movie. It would not be fashionable to be hunched over. They’re running aesthetically, not practically.]
She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense). I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen. Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs
or for full on fight sequences
or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.
this bitch hooked me up.
And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like
or this
or this
DUDE! INASNE SHIT!! So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash. Lemme dole it out for her. BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!! This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.
I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock. You’re worth it.
I have been following her for years on deviantart.
Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.
This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)
Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support! I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon. If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!
Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.
rb to save an artists life
Just so everyone knows, she recently stopped using the name SenshiStock and switched to AdorkaStock! All her links and socials have switched to that. Also she has a TikTok of her doing the poses live, which is stupid useful because you can pause it at any point in the pose for just the right reference.
Literally just used a Adorkastock reference the other night, god bless them
idk im really tired of 15-17 year olds who have never interacted with the gay community irl and spend too much time on tiktok trying to act like the authority on all that is lgbt+
mean this in the kindest possible way. if you are too young and unsafe to go to your gay community center or pride here’s some ways you can connect to gay history.
Flowers are very intimidating at first, but there are a few simple concepts to consider, and turns out- you don’t need every painstaking detail to communicate the nature of the flower! Let loose and have fun with it!
The high res image is here!(free to download) Thank you to my patrons!
Its so annoying trying to find actual transparent height charts in google images that i can use when placing characters. They’re either those horrid “fake” pngs or just jpegs that i need to edit, so I made a simple one ready to use anytime i need it (this chart is sorta in feet measurement and only upto 10feet, but adjust the numbers around or duplicate it if needed ig
YES, this is a REAL transparent png wahaha, feel free to use it if you’d like!
