totally fine! I hope you had fun!

@linus-smallprint lol that’s too funny

My brother asks “why construction?”

in Florida, we have twelve seasons:

• cold front season (no actual winter lol)
• fake spring
• more cold fronts
• pollen season
• actual spring
• lovebug season (annoying little insects that get all over our cars)
• summer
• hellfire season
• hurricane season
• fake…

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]

also everyone has awesome art! I still haven’t done mine; is it ok if I do it digitally? (That might take a little longer to post depending on how long I have to work on it)

@the_lost-journal lol

That’s me with Clone Wars style animation though. If I can get it to look good in that style, I can get it to look good anywhere.

@the_lost-journal

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…

XD

It’s totally fine. Discussion is good.

But thank you @mineralizedwritings for moving it to the Chat Chat.

@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.

@the_lost-journal @keilah-h

All discussion of anime now moving to the chat chat lol. Pls tag me over there if you want to respond to the…[Read more]

also @rae sorry for taking over your forum with “this is the good and bad of anime artstyles” lol

@mineralizedwritings true, our country was literally founded by people who at least professed to be Christian or follow biblical values, as opposed to many other countries which didn’t have that.

yeah, it’s pretty annoying that it’s all you can find sometimes.

Camera angles and posing are a big thing. Coming from a beginner animator/person…[Read more]

@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]

@keilah-h

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]

@mineralizedwritings

Have you seen Avatar the Last Airbender? It’s an American cartoon in a anime style and it’s quite tame (maybe one or two unsavory jokes but that’s it) oh wow actually I just looked it up and it’s rated for 7+ 😂. The plot is really good though. I really like the girls from it, they seem like real people and look like real pe…

@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…

@grcr 👍

@the_lost-journal also yeah, it’s pretty easy to mess up someone’s gender online lol

I’ve been mistaken for a guy on my YouTube channel before. Not too big a deal, I just correct them nicely and move on.

@the_lost-journal

 I did copy the pose from the game though…so is that bad?

Of course not. You still drew the drawing yourself, and most the reason people need references is pose much of the time.

Thanks, and please do, anything!

Okay. I noticed in your picture that you made the sketch out of very short lines. This is often called ‘chicken sc…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Yeah totally! I watched Haikyuu when I was younger but my sister screened it for me, and I skipped a whole season because of fanservice. I think I watched Blue Lock (S1) without too many issues but lets be honest it’s because it’s got an almost entirely male cast, and still I skipped some stuff, the scenes that play after the…

@the_lost-journal @mineralizedwritings yeah I have no idea what it is with cartoons. Japanese cartoons are so cute/made to look attractive and appeal to teenagers it’s annoying. And then American cartoons are often deliberately the ugliest things on the face of the earth for some reason.

Whatever happened to just drawing characters?

also y…[Read more]
