here's how it works, you make a drawing based on one of the reference images in this thread, and along with that drawing, you include a new reference image in your post. (your drawing can be based on any ref in the thread, not just the newest one).

Same here. I have a couple refs I’d leave once I figure out who to draw for the one in the beginning of the thread. Maybe then I can quickly knock out the doodle and make my post.


Someone please help me revive my clubs

Also by the way, if anyone wants to know where that original pic is from, this is the company that does the house where those reaction images get taken.

Man, I hate how quickly this thread ended. I still don’t know what ref to use, but I’m going to bump it anyway.

Oof not ready for the thread to die. Blended two references, Used it as a chance to mess around with brushes.

This is tough. I usually only look for references when it's for something specific. It's kinda cool to just run with it.

So instead of drawing Theta I got the sudden idea to redesign one of my old villain OCs. It’s going well so far!

And so here’s my addition to the ref pile.

DARK PRIEST ENKI NECROBUMPS THE THREAD!


iu_1249756_6994006.png


Yeah, I got into Fear and Hunger recently and I knew this goth man and his sassy pose belonged here.


To justify posting this, I worked some on Piper. I have a few design questions that I’m not sure what to do about. If anyone’s willing to help, DM me, I don’t want to derail this thread.


(Also, yes, about the background, I know dark red and acid green are a horrendous color combination. That’s intentional.)

Your ref looked kinda alien/eldritch to me, so I decided "ah fuck it, I'll try and make some abstract nightmare":

iu_1251211_14526566.jpg

Execution's closer to "Sonic.exe recolour" than "H.R. Giger-grade terror", but whipping this up was still fun :P

Anyways, here's a ref and a source:

I thought it looked like an angel (that may have been the point), so I leaned into the celestial angle and used some weirdcore influences even though I don’t entirely like that aesthetic. Complete with a summarized version of that one funny quote.


iu_1256647_6994006.png


I also didn’t know how much visible butt would be okay for the thread rating, so I drew some shorts in a separate layer. I’ll probably put the shorts-less version in my sketch thread.


Here’s your yee-yee ass ref.
