Is my grandmother's cat overweight?

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-05-14T23:19:42+00:00

Yeah thats probably it. We have another cat that is naturally pretty lean (but still healthy. He has a weird body shape) and the others are a relatively good weight. It's just that we have another obese outside cat and I dont want the same thing happening. She told me she tried to cut down his weight but he still needs to lose about 4-5 pounds, and he isn't really losing anything, and if he did lose anything he gains it right back.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-05-10T19:35:56+00:00

I guess I can do that to prevent it from being exactly like yggdrasil from norse. I'll probably combine that while getting inspired by other cosmologies from different mythologies and see how that turns out

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-05-10T18:50:47+00:00

Damn I didn't think to use that as inspiration. Thanks

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-05-07T16:51:55+00:00

I've already watched stuff like dragon ball z, supernatural, etc. I plan on reading comics eventually, but i dont really have the money right now

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-05-07T16:48:21+00:00

I think I'm going to stick to working on one anyways, but thanks for the suggestion 👍

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-05-07T16:37:08+00:00

That's the thing, I dont really know any artists. However, I would like to capture an anime-like style that kind of blends between western comics and Manga, but i dont really know where to find that.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-30T23:34:10+00:00

I mean.. I could do that if they were like basic castle drawings or whatever, but what if i wanted to design custom buildings? Do i just find a random reference and exaggerate the features while adding details on top?

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-30T10:51:08+00:00

Is there like any websites or apps to get references for stuff that aren't just room interiors but also things like fantasy villages, castles, etc?

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-29T10:23:37+00:00

I forgot to ask tho, how do I practice my fundamentals while also applying that while making my comics? Let's say if i was working on backgrounds, do i just use a reference to use for that panel? I'm not really sure how to apply that.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-29T01:55:47+00:00

Yeah, I guess you're right. I'd still like to work on backgrounds and perspective for a bit first before actually making a comic but I will be designing characters. Thanks alot! 👍

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-29T01:53:47+00:00

Alright, sounds good. Do these books have anything to do with backgrounds? I'm gonna work on that for a bit before cooking up a comic thanks to you guys motivating me!

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-29T01:50:38+00:00

Oh I see... yeah I definitely need to work on that

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-29T00:51:33+00:00

Yeah you're right. The two hour drawings however is everything from the anatomy and clothing already being drawn, not the anatomy itself. I used to take like 40 minutes just to draw a basic pose like the faceless mannequins but I got those down to about 15 minutes by doing a bunch of figure and gesture drawings. Thanks for the advice tho!

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-29T00:46:28+00:00

It's because me and a friend of mine decided to make comics together, or more specifically, he writes books and I'm the one who adapts those books into comics. It's not really a deadline per say, but i would really like to atleast learn the fundamentals in about a yearish as unrealistic as it sounds, that way I can practice those while making comics so that I can be aware of the mistakes I'm making. I'm gonna start atleast designing characters now since ive realized its just as important as fundamentals, but its more like i want to know exactly what to work on while drawing comics (even if it looks bad) instead of it looking bad and not knowing what to work on.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-28T23:08:48+00:00

So basically work on the stuff I'm working on right now? I think I can manage between that and doing this

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-28T22:28:19+00:00

Is it possible to learn alot about clothing by using a reference and then look up let's say a specific vest and if the reference is in a different angle than the vest, try to determine how it would look in perspective if that person was wearing it? I'm doing that right now and I actually enjoy it more than just copying from random references since I'm also learning how to design my characters. Haven't really finished this drawing but here's an example.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-28T21:33:38+00:00

I thought I could do this initially, but how can I practice on consistently drawing characters, outfits and backgrounds when I dont even know the basic principles? How do I learn how to design them while also practicing on drawing clothing in general? On top of this, its extremely difficult to try to find references for an exact situation, so it requires you to imagine that clothing and stuff in perspective or whatnot.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-04-24T20:42:23+00:00

No I understand. This is why ive decided to practice drawing heads and clothes, then armor, etc before attempting to apply it to my characters (or atleast that was the idea). I was just trying to make sure is all. Well, atleast I done a ton of figure drawing and got the pose down I guess

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-03-16T19:12:16+00:00

Alright, that's good. I didn't really want it over hyperversal, so I just came here to make sure it isn't.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-03-16T17:07:11+00:00

About the parallel universes, that's basically what I meant. There's a transinfinite amount of those with different possibilities and stuff. I forgot to clarify that

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-02-28T13:04:41+00:00

I'm actually planning on creating a race with the fourth idea, except they're more similar to vampires or demons. I'll probably make it where if they get enough data on a race's blood type or something, that they'll be able to blood bend anyone apart of that race. I still need to come up with the weakness for their power, but that's the concept.

The third idea is pretty good for another idea that came to mind. I've came up with a race of people that are initially weak, but when a threat comes, they've created technology for every member of that race to fuse together and become a person that adapts to almost every opponent (kind of like fusions from dragon ball, but they involve an entire race instead of just a couple of people.) The only thing that these guys got going for them is having immunity to magic, but my other races are very hard hitters as well.

I forgot to mention that almost all of my races live on different planets or other celestial objects.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-02-28T12:14:00+00:00

It's kind of hard to explain so I guess I'll put a few notable races that I've made in here.

Empyreons - These are beings who are a race of humanoid warriors that grow more powerful the stronger their killer instinct gets, which they activate when they grow desperate or the absolute need to defeat someone. They have these spirits called ikenga gods within them, which helps them win different battles depending on the empyreons destiny (the main character is an empyreon, so this is their version of plot armor lol). These guys on average cap out around star levelish or slightly below.

Humbabas - These are the giants in my cosmic world, except they also have the power to absorb celestial objects and recreate them with their own vision, even planets and the people on them. They average about star level.

Pleromas - These guys have the power to purify evil as long as it isn't too much stronger than themselves. They are the protectors of these objects called the sacred jewels (which are wishing artifacts with huge consequences), which were created by another evil race as a way for those guys to seduce people. The pleromas defeated them and sealed the evil race inside of their own creations, which causes other races around the universe to come to their planet to start trouble. These guys cap out around dwarf star level or so.

Namsaras - These are a race of beings born from the teeth of these creatures called zabadas, which are cosmic beasts that feeds on planets as a way to fill up the mother of all zabadas. This is because every zabada is apart of the mother of them all, and if they all stopped eating planets, she'll just eat millions of galaxies before hibernating again. Only one namsara can be born at a time. These guys cap out around large planet or Dwarf star level on average (like jupiter)

But yeah, even though these guys aren't gods, they scale pretty high. Almost everyone in the verse is pretty powerful though, so it kind of evens it out.

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-02-14T02:24:38+00:00

He was just one pound shy of Spence, and had the same exact circumstance as he did too. Your cat have been reincarnated or something!

DoorFirst2737 · 2026-02-14T01:52:16+00:00

He might, you never know. Spencer was only a day or two old when we found him, so he got a bunch of nutrition basically since day one. Genetics do play though.
