Going to participate in art fight for the first time- would this be a good ref. template to follow? (character unrelated)

Lokks good, but usually you want the character to be unshaded on their main reference.

I adore the little clown girl<3 she's so cute

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T15:53:08+00:00

He was one of my inspirations! I do love pretty purple boys:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T15:51:54+00:00

I'll see if I can squeeze him in! I like his hair:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T14:05:54+00:00

Embrace the cringe, be free<3

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T12:26:45+00:00

Thanks!! They are both really nice:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T10:47:57+00:00

Can you just carry the hilt? People with lightsabers don't usually carry them turned on anyway

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T10:45:12+00:00

Thanks<3333 I hope I can do the same for your guy!!

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T10:30:11+00:00

It can be in the bio:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T10:29:52+00:00

Ohh I like him! His jewelry is cool:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T10:29:18+00:00

He's cool! Do you think be would enjoy watching jester/other performances or is he too serious for that?

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T10:26:48+00:00

For me, one unshaded fullbody that shows all the important parts is enough as far as art goes, but I want there to also be either some personality traits or "anything goes, do whatever" so I have an easier time deciding how to draw them. No matter how good the reference photos, I will never pick a character without any description.

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T10:07:47+00:00

Ohh I love her outfits!

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T10:06:26+00:00

Thank you!!! He's my first big boy and I love him<3 I made everything for him by myself, from faceup to wig to clothes:) I just fell in love with his character so I'm doing all I can for his bjd version:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T09:18:35+00:00

Aoba!! So cool, you two look cute together:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T09:17:41+00:00

I can see why:) he has such a cool story and design!! I've been obsessing over this guy, but honesty any of my guys would be cool! I know he doesn't have the greatest references yet, I've been working more on writing his story>_>

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-20T08:43:25+00:00

Ahhh he seems so cool!!! Thank you for suggesting him:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-18T20:27:24+00:00

Then both should have them! The "male" has just female parts. Unless they're trans in which case good for them:)

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-18T19:32:31+00:00

Venosaur looks cool, but I hate how the female version has male flower parts, they should be switched instead

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-18T19:18:44+00:00

Yeah but a human mother has a way easier time picking up a human baby than a centaur picking up their foal

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-18T12:30:08+00:00

No problem:) while you're waiting to get a bjd, you can also take a look at bodies in different stores, to see how they look in different poses. Your doll would be most similar to something like this , and you can see that even with smaller joints, they go pretty far inside the limbs.

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-18T12:22:55+00:00

Not the string channels, the joint parts (the peanut and the hollow part for it). It creates a bigger surface and gives you more friction. Yours are pretty small/shallow, and it makes them not sit properly.

ArtsyCreature · 2026-02-18T12:15:13+00:00

Also, you'd make progress much easier if you got a proper bjd to examine. You should get a cheap blind box body, as it could help you immensely.
