if you draw enough monster ocs, when you go back to drawing a human character, it feels like "sameface syndrome" everytime, by virtue of their face being. human.
#toy txt post
#or maybe i am just sameface syndrome
#but also different face syndrome
#two characters will have the same face but then the next time i draw those characters its a different face than they had last time!
#i know part of it is being out of practice but also there is definitely an element of feeling constrained by human facial structure lmao
#the monsters have Their Own Problems but like. no one has a face like bokrae no matter how inconsistent i am about drawing her
#her features are iconic enough to her that you can tell everytime
#birdie???? i faceclaimed eartha kitt for her and im still struggling cos i feel weird about faceclaiming as a concept
#but even then 😭 one time i was trying to give headloose a face and someone was like wow he looks like birdie!
#me 😭😭😭😭😭 what!!!!!! hes not supposed to!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#i need to practice. features
#you know the worst part about coming up w a bunch of fuckin Scenarios in my brain for ocs is that i have even fucking Drawn them yet
#to give them like. iconic staple features and figure out what their faces look like. which feels like it would really help to have that
#knowledge and muscle memory before i jump into trying to draw intense scenes with difficult poses!!
#not to mention. listen. i can do the monster faces. somewhat. the bodies??????????? well for one. theyre too big everytime
#im convinced i could be trying to draw bokrae on like a full ass wall size paper like a mural thing and run out of room. it just keeps
#happening. i have no sense of scale for them either. by which i mean i struggle w scale already and also cant decide what i want it to be
#and ive tried to handwave it away by being like ohhh uh. birdie casts spells on them to change their sizes for convenience but also
#no. perhaps that explanation works for other ppl. @ myself tho its not good enough i Know Better!!!!!!
#agh!!!!!!! i really need to figure out bokrae's Teeth also. like i dont. i coukd get away with it. but i should. and i want to.
#anyway all this to say that i need to give these characters faces and body designs (actually the body designs for humanoid ocs is the easy
#part. the faces are whats stumping me? well. i need more practice w all the body types again but like i Know what im Going For at least.
#for the most part anyway. havent fully figured out heights. struggling w characters that i want to make short but give imposing tall energy
#on occasion? birdie can be short all day long no problem. I want Alasdair to be short enough that he has a bunch of short boyfriends that
#feel tall around him? bytte was going to be like 6ft max but then i thought about making her taller and like. what if i made her taller
#headloose is not that /short/ but he is Not Tall and prolly pretty lean? twink build for sure
#and of course all these short /tall distinctions come with a bias of relativity to my own height which i categorize as medium height
#but short ppl call me tall and insist its not average and tall ppl call me short. (5'6) and then i have to factor in how the gender changes
#the dynamic of a height like my height is Short For A Man but medium to tall for a Woman. which id argue is medium height bc mens heights
#are socially held to high standards (hehe) and also i know ethnicity/race is also a factor? but im out of tags. rip. bye
