@the_lost-journal

If I had a nickel for every time a man dressed up like a girl from something made in Japan, I would have a lot of nickels……….

yeah for a society so bent it’s kinda strange too lol. Ig if it’s frowned upon irl people get curious and write it into shows.

Tales of ba sing se is the best and it’s absolutely criminal it’s the one y…[Read more]

True! From Cowboy Bebop, Faye Valentine, the only other girl character, was dressed… immodest. She was a good character, and she did a lot of good stuff and was important to the plot… but her outfit and body was solely for service.  The other girl character was my favorite character from the whole show, and she was a child! So v…

Ooh, fun! I’ll be praying!

@keilah-h

yeah it’s hard! I’ve been trying really hard with dynamic posing this last year too, it’s a major deficit in my skills lol.

Oh and yeah, we should probably have taken this to the chat chat.

@keilah-h

It’s really good! And has a great art style like you said.

I think if the arc is done well and she finds other purpose in life it’s ok, it’s all about the intention, and if they are doing it for the enjoyment of the audience. Something I’ve noticed is that two different animes can have the same girl in a short skirt but one will use…[Read more]

Ikr it’s so weird! I mean it’s worth noting that Japan has very little Christian influence and we have a lot here. Even if a lot of modern day Christians don’t all follow the bible our countries foundations still have a influence.

Yeah I’ve struggled to learn how to draw girls because of this too! A lot of comics have bad stuff in them…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Don’t worry I was pretty sure that was a typo lol.

The only reason why girl characters are in it half the time is for service 🙄 That is why I like the main girl from 86 ( I am going to reference that a lot XD) she is…. how do I put I??? She has a … flatter chest… I hope that isn’t inappropriate XD uhm… but yeah, she is modest. A…

@the_lost-journal

lol! yeah, I am still under eighteen, and can’t really watch shows with intense gore/fan service/swears. Like I watched cowboy bebop with my older sister and brother, and they told me to look away at parts XD. Studio Ghibli film are either PG, or PG 13 so I don’t really need any parental guidance while watching those. (If you rea…

The Duck Nation is most pleased to extend the wing of friendship towards the potatoes. We thank President Perez for her kind offer of aid, and we look forward to a bright future of friendship and peace together!

@the_lost-journal

Uhmmmm…. I am a boy…. ✌️🫥

(Why does everyone assume I am a girl?! 😭 A stranger one YouTube, @Ellete-gistle, you! A person I met a long time ago in karate! WHY?!)

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry! Well in the past when I’ve been active here there’s usually only about 2-3 guys active, sometimes none, I guess it was just an ass…[Read more]

@grcr

I really like your use of screen tones! Also the character design is cool.

@rae

I love how you used the white pencil to show the ripples!

@whalekeeper

Ooh that looks cool! The mid green for shadows looks so perfect, it’s like the background color reflecting into the shadow.

@the_lost-journal

Girl, everyone starts somewhere, people’s art changes over time, don’t apologize for whatever stage you happen to be at. Nobody is going to throw up, we’re happy to have people participate no matter where they are at! Stuff like this is meant to help us get better, not make perfect art. 🙂

@whalekeeper @loopylin

Here’s mine! Also thank you @rae for making this, it actually pushed me and I feel like I did something new : )

I made the pose myself (With the help of some anatomy references, struggled a bit with it lol). Anyways here’s Gojo Satoru from JJK.

I have a bunch of books about fashions of the 1900s waiting at my library to help me with worldbuilding. 🙂

@whalekeeper

Wowsers. That’s a lot! Sounds fascinating, though.

I’ll try to find that article… I think it was in Jstor…

@rae

AHHHH! It’s perfect! I love it.

Also I found a cute bookmark in the Ghibli book. <3
