UPDATE: I'm closing my sketch requests temporarily! They'll be open again when I've tackled the queue (I got a lot more than I expected) so thank you for your patience! ^^
@wthmagss I try not to feed the trolls cause all they want is a reaction, sometimes a concerned-sounding "ok?" is all thats needed. Most importantly surround yourself with support, we're stronger together and never truly alone ❤️💪
random paintover i did of Freya months ago ❄️ her face is boring and i wish they gave her ginger eyebrows and/or lashes instead of the same makeup all the women in this game have

every time i see a heterosexual couple outside with a baby stroller it is always the woman pushing it and rocking the baby and fixing the cover while the man just stands there like hes her oldest child, and every time i have the urge to smack his empty head
@Suckdee26233503 @strvmpetss - in order to perserve this "massive" factor, i think a compromise between the realism of his workout routine/diet/daily habit and the character design tools i have at my disposal is to make his body shaped like an immovable rock! which reminded me of weightlifters :]
@Suckdee26233503 @strvmpetss - meaning im pulling from irl examples of athletes, but im also considering the principles of character design such as shape language, contrast and scale. in the game rein needs to read as a tank at a glance, and blizzard did that masterfully by making him massive
@Suckdee26233503 @strvmpetss hey i learned something from reading this, how educational! i think your analysis is interesting and comes from a deeper understanding of the human body than what i have, and i can totally see this for rein! in my case, im looking to balance realism with character design
@VonCantTakeIt @strvmpetss i agree that a certain lifestyle doesnt directly equal to a certain body fat percentage, after all two weighlifters who lift the exact same weights and have the exact same diet etc etc, will still probably look different. blizzard somehow doesnt know this :(
@CitrusfruitBoy my vision for this drawing was to depict these characters i love in ways that resemble real life people who undergo intense physical stress and also live day-to-day lives. rein is modelled after irl olympic level weightlifters and 63 year old men i know who drink lots of beer
@idneszalebbela i modelled rein after irl olympic level weightlifters, people who i would say are in peak physical health + beauty is in the eye of the beholder
