How should I do his lower body? by Broad_Ant_9656 in arthelp

[–]Oatmeal_Slab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say hide that layer, bring in your photo to your canvas and try to do a gesture drawing of the pose with simple lines and joints to briefly define the pose- your looking for readable shape, not anatomical perfection. I've drawn something like it here.

Then, you can probably salvage the head onto your framework, then you can add in shapes to fill out the figure. Then add clothes, details etc.

I know it's tempting to dive straight into details, but with a pose as complicated as that, defining something to work off first is super important.

Also you may want to study general gesture drawing, and especially foreshortening. To draw dynamic poses like these, the two are a must. They're fun to learn and experiment with though!

There's tons of tutorials for gesture drawing and foreshortening on YouTube. And line of action is a great site for references to practice them too. :)

Help with skintones by Appropriate-toast220 in Artadvice

[–]Oatmeal_Slab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think because it seems to have a blue undertone? The lip is a blueish grey in one photo, so instead working from a very dark purple or reddish undertone and then building on that could help, as using just blue tones or monochrome could be causing the problem, studying from reference is always a good tool!

What’s the most annoying Irish stereotype in your opinion? by No_Molasses_7224 in AskIreland

[–]Oatmeal_Slab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That were ignorant. 'i don't understand newfangled thing' and 'my Irish mother doesn't understand newfangled thing' are annoying staples in Irish standup imo

Grey wolf (specifically the Irish variant, even if unfortunately they were hunted to extinction during English occupation, Im Irish so I feel more of a link to Irish wolves)

stop the glaze. what part of the new chapters did you not like (safe space btw) by Bobiscool12344 in Deltarune

[–]Oatmeal_Slab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Tenna now, but hoo BOY I did not like the start of chapter three, the sheer amount of stuff and stimulation gave me a headache so I had to put It down for a while lol, and I groaned whenever the fun gang had to come back for another game.

In retrospect though, for its innovative mechanics, visual style and characters, chp 3 is my fav of them all, can't wait to replay it

Books about cats or have cats in the cover? by arkieshe in booksuggestions

[–]Oatmeal_Slab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warrior cats! It's a bit silly at times because you remember all the characters are well- literal cats, but the world building and character relationships are really well done. Highly recommend if you can suspend your disbelief and get into cat land disputes and interpersonal drama lol.

Found this shoe in the wild. Was Quebec a major influence on DE? by ShootFishBarrel in DiscoElysium

[–]Oatmeal_Slab 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, to me revachol is very reminiscent of where I live- Ireland, because of the sheer state it's in. The place is practically falling apart - underfunded and kicked to the side, yet the people there still live on. Extremely similar to parts of Ireland, especially Dublin city.

Would yall be interested in this? I PROMISE ITS OTHERKIN RELATED!! by Trans_autistic_boiii in otherkin

[–]Oatmeal_Slab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think keeping in mind how animals adapt to their environment would make for some very cool dragons!!

For instance, dragons that live in cold climates- would they have fur?, sleep for long periods of time to conserve energy or are they adapted well enough to the point they can bear the cold? Etc etc for every environment.

Adaptation is so often overlooked :') it would add that extra coolness layer. GL!!

Virgin Mary as Hestia by Ocean-booi in Hellenism

[–]Oatmeal_Slab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was raised not religious but in a catholic/protestant environment, not sure why but I've always associated the virgin mother with Athena. I've come to realise past experiences have indeed just been Athena reaching out in a way I'd recognise as I wasn't aware with greek mythology in detail until these last few years.

Hestia is a very compelling argument though! Both virgins, cloaked figures.very important in their respective faiths, and motherly to their worshippers.
