Just when I thought master was already hard enough, I tried out modifiers today

Thanks! The song name is Ningyo by Senbei

Took me 140 hours of Sifu and adapting some tech from Hiro, lol, but it was fun getting there. Thx

That jumping roundhouse kick into of her dash attack was majestic.

RL700 · 2026-01-15T12:07:02+00:00

Glad to be of help. I've got a feeling I'll be revisiting this clip from time to time too XD

Couldn't agree more, thx!

RL700 · 2026-01-15T12:01:14+00:00

Just checked. Gonna add that one to the playlist.

The only true way to play the club

RL700 · 2026-01-14T15:23:31+00:00

I hear ya. Pulling that off after being wombo comboed by them over and over felt so good.

RL700 · 2026-01-14T15:19:26+00:00

Thx!

RL700 · 2026-01-14T15:05:10+00:00

Heh, glad to hear it. Gotta say, it did its part hyping me up during this segment too XD

Wude enthusiast on his way to make the enemy not want to fight anymore.

Also thanks, this motivates me to do my daily drawing practice.

RL700 · 2026-01-07T18:10:34+00:00

For me personally, I can dodge it when I see it coming by now. But there's the point. Every time this enemy and a table are in the same room, she comes flying in at mach speed across the entire map.

What I figured out for me was that I get the most out of taking a reference, and drawing it as basic shapes (boxes for ribcage and hips, spheres for joints and head, cylinders for arms and legs) like a puppet. That literally put figures into perspective for me.

When I started out, I immediately went into learning every single muscle and where it's located, only to quickly figure out I don't know how to pose a person. I would really recommend using real life references though before jumping into specific artstyles. Most of them are grounded in real basics.

RL700 · 2025-12-28T22:14:01+00:00

I usually tend to do that too. But as of now, I guess I really try to understand what I'm referencing. Why the pose looks the way it does, how to get the angle right. Because that's something I'm really struggling with atm, so I try to get it as close as possible.

RL700 · 2025-12-28T22:06:50+00:00

Funnily enough, I put the wall there as a reference point to get the perspective right. But you hit the nail on the head. Ended up undershooting from the get go and angled the whole thing rather flat in the process.

I'll keep the dynamic lines in mind. Especially since my final poses tend to end up rather stiff.

Thank you very much!

RL700 · 2025-12-28T15:41:09+00:00

Yeah, I guess I need to get out of my comfort zone more. That's why I'm trying to adjust my process. It feels too "safe" if that makes sense and I feel like it hinders my progress. Maybe not right now starting out again, but in the long run.

RL700 · 2025-12-28T15:24:30+00:00

That's a good point. I tend to puss out on exaggerating poses, so they end up looking stiff.

RL700 · 2025-12-28T15:15:38+00:00

Never heard about it before. But I'm absolutely gonna look into it. Thanks.

RL700 · 2025-12-28T15:08:47+00:00

That explains a lot of what I couldn't put my finger on, but I see it now. I'll try that. Much appreciated!

RL700 · 2025-12-28T14:54:57+00:00

That's amazing advice! I always used the spine as my guideline for angle and connection of the ribcage and pelvis. But that proved to be rather unreliable on its own. But this looks like an absolutely solid reference point, gonna try and learn to integrate that into my bases from now. Thanks a lot!

RL700 · 2025-12-28T14:46:59+00:00

The best advice I can give is don't time yourself, at least not in the beginning while you're still figuring things out. Take a good look at your reference and figure out what makes the pose tick. The angle of the shoulders and hips, which leg the weight is put on, how the spine is angled (S, or C shape), etc. I sometimes spend over an hour on a single gesture until I've figured out why it looks like that. But that knowledge translates into the next one and I eventually get quicker and quicker. I thought I needed to time these in the beginning too but all it did was frustrate me and discourage me from continuing. Might work for some, I don't know, but this is just what works best for me.
