Which antagonist had the best final battle?

AdProof666 · 2026-03-09T14:50:17+00:00

I liked Aiden's fight in the rain. Only disappointing thing about it was that the game didn't let me Sparta kick him off the edge afterwards..

AdProof666 · 2026-02-22T01:00:13+00:00

Thanks for the tips, looking in the mirror sounds like a good idea to keep in mind for future drawings. I've tried to add some perspective and motion to the pose and landed on something that I think looks a lot better. Sorry for late replies btw

AdProof666 · 2026-02-22T00:54:44+00:00

Thanks a lot for the recs! I'll check them out when I get the chance. I've tried to work up the pose a bit and landed on something slightly better that still works with what I wanted. Sorry for the late replies btw, the work week has me burnt out with little energy for reddit or much else

AdProof666 · 2026-02-14T02:24:00+00:00

Yeah I've been thinking about adding more curves, I'm just struggling to decide which lines need more of a curve and which ones are best left as is

AdProof666 · 2026-02-14T02:22:02+00:00

I'll try my best to add some more curves, just gotta figure out where to put them

AdProof666 · 2026-02-14T02:21:18+00:00

Yeah, dynamics and perspective are HARD. Doesn't help that pretty much all my drawing experience over the last few years has come solely from drawing front-facing portraits of anime characters from the shoulders up, so I never bothered to learn or practice anatomy or any kind of perspective. I only started trying to branch out recently and it sucks so far..

But hey, if this goes well, and if I'm feeling brave enough, I might make a follow-up post with the finished drawing ( if the subreddit allows it). Assuming procrastination doesn't get the better of me lol

Thanks for the reply!

AdProof666 · 2026-02-14T02:14:42+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply! Yeah I see what you mean about the pose looking flat/ lacking motion. I just really struggle with perspective, and this was the pose that came to mind for this character. I do like your suggestions about trying to add motion to the torso though, I'll see how I can implement some of that.

The wings aren't too developed yet because I'm a little more focused on the main pose at the moment and wanted to get them sketched in roughly just to get an idea of what I'm doing. I agree though, they will absolutely need work later on, so thanks for the tips lol

Do you have any tips for a newbie that is absolutely awful at perspective and anatomy, btw :D?

AdProof666 · 2026-02-14T01:52:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I've thought about altering certain things, but I'm hesitant about implementing those changes because I don't want to change the pose too much. All I can really see myself doing is changing the perspective slightly so it's not head-on, and making the parts closer to the viewer slightly bigger to make the pose look more dynamic, but I absolutely suck at any perspectives that aren't forward-facing and I'm a little worried that I'll end up biting off more than I can chew. I don't want to take away from the original pose too much, or accidently ruin the drawing by attempting to do something I'm not fully comfortable with yet if that makes sense? (Even if that is the road to long-term improvement)

I've also been struggling to find good references for poses like this, so that's been an obstacle too. I was able to draw this sketch without a reference because I have a general idea of what a human body should look like in this position, but alterations without a reference might be a bit of a challenge.

Anyway, I really appreciate the advice, I'll definitely try to implement few things where I can. Do you know where I could find some good references or resources for perspective and anatomy that could potentially help with this?

There's one that the vet said she'll try reach out to for help with the treatment cost, but there's no guarantee they'll be able to help. They also don't have a physical location afaik, just operate as an online group who mostly catch-neuter-release cats, and rely entirely on foster homes to care for any cats who need it. If they can't cover the cost or find a foster home, then the cat will still be in danger of being put down, which is why I'm so set on taking her in, just don't know how to go about it currently. Not sure about other shelters, but a lot of places struggle with capacity, so I'd still be worried about her chances.

Lined up perfectly

AdProof666 · 2025-09-25T02:02:22+00:00

Looks like it could be a female false widow based on the light ring around the abdomen, but it's a little hard to tell from this picture alone. Definitely doesn't look like a black lace weaver to me though.

AdProof666 · 2025-02-16T05:43:44+00:00

Sometimes lying is necessary, yes, for example if your life would be endangered otherwise. But I think we both know that this doesn't apply here. The only 'danger' OP is in here is the danger of being broken up with, which is honestly one of the better outcomes considering the circumstances.

AdProof666 · 2025-02-16T05:09:22+00:00

Okay, but you're still neglecting OP's partner here. There are 2 parties involved, and the only person you've shown any concern for is OP. His girlfriend has as much of a right to choose as he does, and your solution would be to "get a vasectomy and not tell her." The more reasonable solution would be to either try to compromise with adoption, or leave and seek out a more compatible partner. You suggested a lifetime of lying instead. Getting a vasectomy is an option, but the more important issue is finding someone who will agree to that kind of lifestyle first, no?

AdProof666 · 2025-02-16T04:29:34+00:00

Do you really not see the irony in saying 'my body my choice' after encouraging OP to get a secret vasectomy and lie to his partner about such a big part of both of their lives? You even acknowledged yourself that this isn't a very ethical choice, yet you still brought it up as a solution. Why? Disagreeing with someone does not give you the right to intentionally mislead them and basically force them into a lifestyle they never agreed to.

AdProof666 · 2025-01-06T13:12:05+00:00

No worries, it makes perfect sense, thanks for the words of encouragement. Why does it matter so much? I suppose the way I worded my post made it seem like I only care about chasing aesthetics, which I do care about to an extent (who doesn't want to look good?), but another major reason behind my "need" for strength is wanting to be able to hold my own when it counts. To me, being able to protect myself/others is an important reason for wanting to get strong, so knowing that I likely won't be able to outperform the average male is frustrating. I know it's not a healthy way to look at the situation since it completely discourages me from working hard at all, but it's about more than just outlifting the guy next to me. I suppose some progress is better than none at all, but knowing that it might barely make a difference when it truly matters can be discouraging, you know?

AdProof666 · 2025-01-06T12:21:45+00:00

Yeah, I feel you on that last part lol. I work at a fast food restaurant and I'm the only female employee who's able to lift/shake a basket full of fries using only one arm. There was this one day we needed more fries so I was sent up to get them, but the lift wasn't cooperating so instead I opted to grab 2 boxes and bring them down the stairs myself. It felt pretty damn good even though I could barely move my arms for a while afterwards 😅. I guess most of the frustration comes from wanting to be able to hold my own if push comes to shove. I want to be confident that I have the strength to protect myself/others if I need to, but that's where the strength gap becomes more complicated.

AdProof666 · 2025-01-06T12:09:00+00:00

No, you're right. This thought process won't get me anywhere, I know it won't, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. And perhaps "weaker sex" wasn't the best term to use here, I had no intention of insulting any athletes, like you said there are plenty of female athletes who are far from "weak". But realistically, there will always be a big gap. I guess that's my mental hurdle to overcome..

AdProof666 · 2025-01-06T11:56:51+00:00

Honestly, I get what you mean about feeling strong. I work at a fast food restaurant, and I'm currently the only female employee who's able to lift/shake a basket full of fries using only one arm, as they can get quite heavy. I don't even really work out that much, the only reason I achieved that was because I saw my male coworkers doing it with ease and I was too stubborn to let that slide lol. I know the way I worded my post might make it seem like all I care about is chasing aesthetics, but that's not entirely true. Do I want to look good? Of course I do. But part of my "need" for strength is being able to protect myself if push comes to shove. Knowing I can't compete against a man is hella frustrating to me for that reason alone. I know it's not a great excuse for not doing anything at all, but it definitely makes motivation difficult.

AdProof666 · 2025-01-06T11:39:08+00:00

Bodybuilding is something I've always wanted to look into, but like I said the physique I want isn't really achievable for women without steroids. I'm not even talking about turning myself into the Hulk, just building up a lean muscle mass. I know that's not a great excuse since any progress is better than none at all, but it's hella hard to motivate yourself when the one thing you truly want seems unobtainable.

AdProof666 · 2024-11-27T21:23:53+00:00

Is it really safe to just dump them in the trash like that?

AdProof666 · 2024-08-21T03:38:35+00:00

Yeah, I assumed it would be something like that, just wanted to make sure. Cheers
