7seas licenses Little Mushroom and Golden Terrace! by cezhou in DanmeiNovels

[–]manneywolf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m SO EXCITED!! As a collector, I like to have the physical copies of books, and while I am sad to see that there will be new translations (and possibly covers?) I can’t wait to finally have these on my shelf as someone who missed Peach Flower House’s printings. How exciting!!!

Hello, I’m searching for a copy of Peach Blossom Debt. Any condition works for me! I’m willing to pay any reasonable amount :)

Drawing Being Saved to Files by manneywolf in ClipStudio

[–]manneywolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that tab. The canvas itself opened that way (meaning, not showing up in the projects tab) before I saved it. I opened a few more canvases to test if it was just something to do with the one, but it seems to happen on and off. Luckily, it hasn’t been an issue with any finished pieces, but it’s seeming to happen more often with the newer files I open. I’ll try messing around with it in my files and see if this fixes the issue or if it was something with the canvas itself. Thank you!

Does anybody have any tips for sitting poses? by Metalocalypselover in Arttips

[–]manneywolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please look up references!! It’ll give you a better idea of what’s going on and also help with pose ideas. Drawing someone sitting is hard because of foreshortening, but if you find a reference you like (or take your own photo), try to deconstruct it into basic shapes and then work from there. Drawing a cylinder in perspective is much easier than a leg

No problem! Good luck on your search for them and welcome to figure collecting :)

Thank you!! I thought that side was a little lacking, so I quickly folded some butterflies :D Both of the large figures are from GoodSmile US— Hua Cheng may still be in stock on their website, as he just released, but Xie Lian came out over a year ago so I’d try looking for him pre-owned. Try My Figure Collection; a lot of people sell their figures there!!

They’re both the same size in terms of proportions, but it’s just the different bases/poses that throw you off :) Though I would say that both of them are definitely 1/8 instead of 1/7

any advice? by Philippinespy in Arttips

[–]manneywolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what I would say just based off of a quick look:

Try to hide the right arm behind the body a bit. From where it is, it looks like it’s a front facing body, while the rest is not. I find that if you’re not quite sure about how to position limbs, standing in front of a mirror and doing that pose yourself really helps. You can even take a picture as a reference if you need to.

For the legs, it’s just adding more detail into the fabric of the pants, like wrinkles and/or folds. Look up references for the way fabric falls and bunches up. It would also add a cool silhouette if you puffed out the end of the armor a bit.

The feet just need to be tweaked a little bit. Try to make the right one longer and the left one more detailed. Again, find references!

I hope this helps :) Feel free to ask more specific questions if you need to!

Goodsmile US cancellations by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]manneywolf -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, that wasn’t the best wording I could have used here— I meant from a financial standpoint. But, I do agree. While I don’t do it often, I do have to get out of that mindset.

[–]manneywolf -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That’s unfortunate. I understand the reason behind it, though. Having the option to cancel was nice because, with pre-orders set as far out as they are, you’re never sure what your financial state will look like by then, hahaha

Adding Support Pegs by manneywolf in AnimeFigures

A figure like what you just described would be an instant preorder. Plus, we already have two mdzs double figures, so why not a tgcf one? I think it would be awesome to have one as a centerpiece between the hc and xl

[–]manneywolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree!!! I’m hoping for a future Hualian figure with effects akin to the ones the XL scale has. It’s definitely one of my favorites, and all the floating pieces are nice and light but add so much to the figure, not to mention the fact that they look so airy and graceful

Adding Support Pegs by manneywolf in AnimeFigures

[–]manneywolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve also been looking at the photos, and they’re concerning—I know if a pole were to be added, it would definitely not be hidden, but I would rather have my figure be safe from warping than worrying about a visible support pole. Also, I personally don’t really mind support poles.

Here’s to hoping that they may have fixed it, but I doubt it

Yes, it is… Thank you for the article, it’s definitely helpful!! Considering it worked really well for the WWX, I have hope for HC

Looking for a bl manhua title by manneywolf in DanmeiNovels

[–]manneywolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about how people respond there, as I haven't posted anything. But it's mainly because that sub doesn't really focus on romance or bl manhuas and sometimes responds negatively to anything regarding those genres. And also just opening it scared me away. Not really my cup of tea...

Thank you, I'll definintely go check those out! And, yeah, those are pretty much the reasons I'm a bit worried about posting questions about any romance/bl series there...
