#Oh my this is actually super helpful stuff!

Hello! Would you happen to have any recommendations for realistic anatomy books on humans (for art purposes)? A lot of the online anatomy references are very exaggerated and the models have only 'ideal' body types and don't depict any others (E.g. Online male anatomy references are extremely buff for no reason). Thank you for the help :)

I do have a small collection of anatomy-for-artists books, but honestly, those are also populated predominantly with people who look like living Greek sculptures. So, I asked around a bit for both book and online sources. Here are a few things:

Height Weight Chart -- A library that people have contributed multitudes of their own photos to. Some people took turnaround photos in form-fitting clothes. Some are just one-off snapshots of people in street clothes. But, both of those things can be useful in their own way, and there certainly are a lot of body types here. (Thanks for the link, Fable).

------------------------------------------------------ AdorkaStock -- Features a whole free pose gallery containing a really excellent array of varied bodies. The photos generally focus more on form than costume, and if anything, the extremely sculpted bodies you tend to see in other stock libraries are de-emphasized here.

------------------------------------------------------

Satine Zillah -- An expansive library of downloadable photo packs. Most of them feature athletic or thin body types, many are heavy on costuming, but there are some that focus on more variety if you take time to scroll through (elderly bodies, plus-size bodies, people with dwarfism, etc.)

------------------------------------------------------

Morpho -- I know a lot of people swear by these books by Michel Lauricella. Morpho: Fat and Skin Folds in particular seems to cover some ground that a lot of other anatomy/pose lessons just skip right over. Looks like it's available as an ebook too.

I hope that helps some! I'm sure there are other resources out there, though. If anyone has some solid recommendations, please leave them in the comments!

Recreating one of the first fanarts I made about Lackadaisy, this was at the first beginning of the year and when the pilot still just had days of release :3

(I still don't know how to draw violins lol)

We've got a wee little short about some wee little guys up on YouTube today - Just a small something to share while the longer episodes and mini-episodes are in production!

Are there any resources you use for the designs for the characters clothing? The 1920s had such an iconic style but its been so distorted by time!

Many. It is easy to get a misleading idea from all of the costume clothing that markets itself as '1920s' in google image searches, or by modern media trying to depict the 1920s and kind of inevitably putting a spin on it. However, you can go right back to the source by looking at photos of people taken in the 1920s and making note of what their clothing actually looked like. Photography was quite accessible by that time, so there's no shortage of material (even if it's not in color). Also, ordering clothing from catalogs was quite common at the time, and you can pretty easily find the contents of those catalogs, along with fashion plates and illustrations made in the 1920s, compiled into books. (A lot of that material has been scanned and is floating around in places like Pinterest too.)

What has been your favorite part of Lackadaisy? (I must say I ADORE the animation with the visible sketch lines. It gives such a welcoming homemade feel to the show!)

I think my favorite part was getting that dang pencil to finally look right. Idk if most people here know this, but I built from scratch the brush used to line the characters as well as the early pipeline for how the look of the characters would be handled in cleanup.

My goal was to create a line texture for Toon Boom that looked like the Xerox Era of Disney animation. This was where the animators would take their rough pencil drawings and use basically an old school printer to copy and darken those lines so they looked like finalized cleaned lineart. This was done to cut costs so they wouldn't have to draw AND line every single frame because Disney wasn't doing so well financially back then (crazy to imagine now I know), but the end result was a really unique aesthetic!

Obviously we went a touch more clean than these. I just wanted to show some really nice and crunchy examples. Even so, funnily some people thought that was a mistake instead of a throwback to a long gone era of animation haha I don't blame them tho. People are much too used to hyper clean/crisp lines and we wanted to bring that dirt, grime, and TEXTURE back in for a nostalgic vibe. I'm still proud of how these early tests came out and the further refining the rest of the team did to get that final look is incredible.

Hey, just a quick question!

When are you planning to release the official series of Lackadaisy?

I'm really looking for it, and I love your artwork!

Thank you! Official release dates, though...ah, flashbacks to years spent working in the game industry... Forgive my sidelong answers below. If I rattled off specific dates right now, I'd just end up being wrong, so I won't. There are just too many variables at work to pin it down yet. As we get closer to release dates on things, though, I'll speak up about it. I can say that before this year is out, we're planning to release some vignettes (mini-mini-episodes if you will). After that, we'll release one of 3 promised mini-episodes. The one presently in production is actually pretty sizable for a 'mini', and I feel it has some substance and pertinence to Season 1, so I hope it won't be disappointing that a season episode isn't the first thing to premiere. Season episodes, at the earliest, might start appearing in the later part of 2024 (though, again, we'll have multiple other things to share between now and then). Aside from the reality that animation takes a long time to do, the reasons for this release plan are multifold:

It gives us an opportunity to do the remaining setup work needed to make Iron Circus Animation operate more formally like a studio with an eye on long term sustainability.

It gives us time to smooth out our production pipeline and to get our team leads and other crew acclimated to how things will work going ahead.

It gives us time to fit in the merch fulfillment work for BackerKit.

It gives us a little more time to tighten up the longer episode scripts and to make sure the season as a whole feels right. (Tons of visual development is already happening for the episodes, though, as is music composition.)

I lied :)) Or rather, I changed my mind. Here's the finished version of the illustration! I figured I might as well finish cause I had left over motivation :))

And if I had a dime every time @lackadaisycats liked my posts I would have two dimes, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice
