Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

Feeling a little better after catching covid... again. So I made an art for my partner. Two character's deep in guy love.

Mask up and get jabbed :U

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Started the 4th.

It's not my favorite.... Something bothering me about it, but I can only flounder (hah) so long. So here we go.

Also looking at the last 3. If I can get all 56 done, I'd love to see them all together.

It's the darndest, tumblr. I was so annoyed at the whole ai-scrapery party I never uploaded the second fish. Glazed for your pleasure. Sebastes rubrivinctus and some gobies

[circadiancrunch]

The struggle fish. For the fullness of the struggle, join my patreon, but you can just check him out here too.

Sebastes paucispinis aka Bocaccio And some phallic sponges and anemones.

That's 3 complete! About 53 more to go. Also yo, if he looks extra texturey.... This guy's using glaze! I still need to download Nightshade. I think that one's the bigger game changer. But it begins, especially here as Tumblr has continued to just make poor decisions.

A couple more doodles from last week.

Man bruh. So, If you're abandoning Ship...

Like, absolutely for sure understandable. Everything sucks and everywhere you turn there's this ai bullshit. If you gots to go, do it for that sweet, sweet mental health. And if you do, here's how to find me so we can still cool mutuals and/or internet buddies or just quietly watch each other. I am NOT LEAVING, yet. So you're welcome to follow me here still. BlueSky Mastadon Cohost Cara Patreon I'm also active on Instagram, but only by necessity. I'm CircadianCrunch on all platforms. But I'm inactive on several. You can stalk my cohorts as well via our shared studio ScribblesArtCollective Socials linked on the website

Have more cute powder puffs. They almost have a name i swear. Remember to Opt out of AI! Every scumbag makes you opt out instead of asking permission~ Click your blog from the account drop-down menu on the left hand side, go to Blog Settings on the right hand menu. Scroll down to Visibility. Toggle ON the selection that says: Prevent Third Party Sharing

[circadiancrunch]

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

[circadiancrunch]

I love how this came out. Just adorable~ http://tinyurl.com/52atn7nt

New project. And here's the first piece. Sebastes pinniger - Canary Rockfish (with opaleye) There's over 50 more to go. So wish me luck.

[circadiancrunch]

cool down and warmup of a couple of my creatures. I'll name them one day.

[circadiancrunch]

Cute kelp! I was pleasantly surprised these were common picks for freebies. I was kinda expecting that folks wouldn't be into it, but they were. Yey! I do think, I'd change the color on the bull kelp. I took artistic license with them being green as it is. Kelp is really more of a yellow color anyway. Brown algae after all. But I still think they come out nice~

[circadiancrunch]

I made a lot of pretty pins, but all the mini simple ones are my favorites. And this is one of them~ Itty bitty opaleye!

[circadiancrunch]

Moaaar opaleye. And garibaldi. A little opening in the rocks.

[circadiancrunch]

It's fish time. Is this image too small? I'm trying to find the happy medium for posting stuff that's viewable, not uggo, but still reduced.
