Trying to get better about actually posting my art instead of letting it gather digital dust in my documents folder.

18+ only please. (nothing fully explicit here, but occasional suggestive images and discussion of mature topics.)
Arm bone movement study.

More Morpho. Anatomy studies are weird because you learn things like “the head of the humerus is actually at the upper outside edge of the arm and not, like, kinda next to the edge of the pec." And by “you” I maybe mean just me

Taking a break from anatomy studies to actually draw my characters lol.

Starling (left) is standing on a box btw

More Morpho studies. The elbow and wrist joints are so weird, the way the radius and ulna fold over each other freaks me out a little bit lol

More anatomy studies. Trying to get a better understanding of the joints :B

Referenced from Morpho anatomy for artists.

I tried Royal Skies’ knee fix but was having trouble controlling it in FK. A deform rig with a knee bone and a control rig without one seems to work pretty well! Just had add a stretch-to constraint to the knee and adjust the placement a few times to get it to look decent.

I should probably practice more actual animation rather than messing around with rigging stuff that I don’t even understand lol. Also he still needs clothes ^^'

The ear connection needs work but I'm pretty happy with how this is turning out :>

I tried so many stupidly complex ways to do the shoulder blade area but this ended up being by far the best-looking and somehow also the simplest lmao.

Still learning rigging... I had to mess with the weights for a while but using bendy bones for the neck seems to work pretty well :o

I’m still in the “fucking around” phase of learning 3D animation but it’s really fun! I’m playing tuoys!

The “finding out” is when I have to completely start over because I was trying to brute force frame-by-frame match the model with the trapeze orz

Ate my vegetables (did lots of studies) so now I get to do some 3/4 view left-facing OC portraits. As a treat

And even more practice. Not getting anywhere close to "dailies" but I'm going to try to keep doing frequent anatomy studies for a while.
