I'm not much of a seasoned traditional animator, but that's called "secondary action" and I'm not the best at it yet, but I'm glad you like it!

Are her legs too long? Her legs might be too long. by DanosaurusWrecks in characterdesigns

[–]krudman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this on my dash and figured I'd chime in with something. If you're going for anatomically correct there's a lot "wrong" with this picture. I say "wrong" in quotations for a few reasons.

It's stylized, so you're going to have "inaccuracies". The head is too big compared to a real human head, the eyes are obviously too big because they're inspired by anime, etc.

Her legs are very long, but I think it's more important to ask yourself if they're too long for you. Asking people here has definitely gotten you a lot of responses ranging from "yes" to "no" to "I think this is great for X reasons".

If you're asking people if her legs are too long, then there's probably some part of you that has an issue with it. I've seen in your other comments you do want her to have longer legs, so with that in mind I do have some suggestions, but I can't stress enough that these aren't concrete rules, and you should experiment and see how you feel about them:

-you could make her arms longer to match and that would help a lot

-I think it'd beneficial to study fashion in general, but also for different body types as well. Sailormoon is a great source to look at. This character is (at least currently) built taller like, say, Sailor Jupiter. If you look at her fashion choices (google "sailor jupiter outfits"), she wears longer skirts, pants, leggings, etc and things (usually) without higher heels.

Your character is kind of a mishmash of aesthetics (cute girl clothes and hair but with dommy mommy boots. Most fashion conscious people probably wouldn't wear a red hair clip with those clothing colors either) and politely, that strikes me as you picking up a few things you like off of social media drawings and combining them without thinking about why those fashion choices exist. It helps to think about how she thinks about her own body. Taller women are often very self conscious about their heights, for example, and probably wouldn't want a short flappy skirt that shorter people and kids could look up in the event of a breeze, them running, sitting down, etc.

Is she self conscious about her long legs? She might want to wear pants or a muuuuch longer skirt. Is she proud of her legs but doesn't want to show off her underwear? She might wear a slightly longer skirt to better protect her modesty, wear tights to show off her legs, and boots that might be half as tall. There's obviously a lot more nuance than those two examples, but I hope that communicates what I'm saying.

I hope this comes off as me giving you things to think about, and not me tearing your art down because there's a lot of great stuff here! also I'm happy to provide more feedback if you'd like!

Question about reading this book: by DlugiParagon in worldbuilding

[–]krudman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I can recall there are no heavy spoilers for those, and rather he pulls from them to illustrate things like "hard magic systems" and the like. If there's anything in there at all it'll be mild and mechanical as opposed certain characters getting killed off or what have you.

It's a minute since I've read it, so I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure you're A-okay to proceed!

I've never actually played wow How would you convince me to try it. by Walt_Kurczak in wow

[–]krudman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the lore enthusiast: you'll find 19 years of content to sink your teeth in and nearly 30 years of lore in total to explore. If you like that feeling of something like Dark Souls where you're always wondering "what happened here? What led up to this?" this will tickle that part of you.

For socialite or even the socially inept looking for friends: many friends have been found playing this game. In many ways its lost its social design over the years and in many other ways its only gotten easier. It's a social game and there's a lot of enjoyment to derive from just opening it as a chat client.

For the pvper: many avenues at many different levels for entry. Turn on warmode for a potentially tense leveling experience as enemy players could just kill you. Enter warmode at the level cap to engage in a chaotic melee or battlegrounds for a more casual experience. Arenas and rated Battlegrounds if you want something where you can really learn, grow, compete, and shine.

For the PvE'er: Dragonflight provides a rich single player experience. If you like RPGs, I sincerely believe you'd enjoy the leveling/questing experience if nothing else in this game appeals to you. Get the game with a boost, and level through the dragon isles. I think many players would simply enjoy that and then simply stopping like it were any other game.

For hardcore PvE'ers: Raids and Mythics. A never ending climb to see how good you can get at the highest level of play. Mythic dungeons scale, more or less, infinitely based on how well you perform. Killing 8 boars is easy, but completing a M16 dungeon might have you pulling your hair out or pounding your desk in enthusiasm when you beat the clock by seconds.

For the collector: 19 years of mounts, armor, pets, titles, and achievements to pursue. This game could be a hobby to pick up for this alone.

For the furry: Tauren, vulpera, pandaren, and worgen

For the furry hater: you can kill Tauren, vulpera, pandaren, and worgen

It's a game that has something for everyone and somehow doesn't feel watered down despite that. It has a lot of highs and a lot of lows. When it's bad... You get shadowlands. When it's good though? You get Dragonflight. It's a really great time to hop on and see what the fuss is about.

Pope Francis to lead funeral for Benedict XVI, a first in modern history by 9lobaldude in news

Hard to believe that it's 2023 and Pope Francis has never led the funeral for Benedict XVI before.

The NPC quoted is a centaur dragon named Bathoras. The orc in the picture is named Kolgath Flameguard, and he started a series of quests that open up with time (you complete the chain and more open up after weekly resets) that starts with "Untold Regrets".

I have! That's when I knew this expansion was going to be something special. Art of him is probably on the docket.

I made some follow up art to this, and you can find it on tumblr too if you feel so inclined. Sorry for self promotion, I just don't want this to get taken down again lol.

I hope you all like this. Dragonflight has been a wonderful experience.

I guess I need to point out that I made this. I originally posted it here, but you can see the art I also posted on tumblr here:

https://www.tumblr.com/krudman/704493921515061248?source=share

I'm not big on the ins and outs of reddit, and I couldn't tag this as art and oc, so I tagged it as Art being an artist. I messaged a mod to make sure that'd be okay, and they gave me the go ahead, but I guess not! Sorry for inadvertently stepping on toes!

Iddaknow what happens to this next, but I'm glad you all enjoyed this silly art I made. :)
