<xo ohhhhh no, I hate that!
*raises arms in the air shaking them* <x{ Darn you 3D Perspectiiiiive!

[Espy]

TBH I'd rather draw hands in weird perspectives than arms, because that's just a lot harder for me, for some reason.

[Espy]

Can't sleep, Did art.

"Prerequisite of giving a character a new hairstyle is that I need to be able to draw it... clearly, my aptitude is... debatable. Oh well, [he] doesn’t look terrible.

Whatever altercation he’s just come out of, his tie didn’t survive the ordeal."

Take a guess at how old and what ethnicity he is; I *tried* to convey it but I'm still having issues drawing specific features.

[Merskelly Metalien]

Heeeee iiiisss an older Asian guy? o-0 Maybe not...>.>; I don't know why mind went to "brooding alien man with a heavy past"..how that is Asian? <x/

[Espy]

Hah, us Asian peeps usually don’t have cheekbones like that.

Unless you’re my mom, in which case, you do.

Yakov is Russian. Probably around 36. Quite a bit younger than he looks; being a spy/agent is taxing.

[Merskelly Metalien]

Oohh, I see. o.o Great job on his expression to reflect that. <x} I've never studied anyone Russian so I probably wouldn't have guessed that ehehe. In my mind, someone Russian just looks light, square chinned and tough. xD With a bear.

[Death by Mirrors]

...I will remember to add a bear if I ever attempt to draw anyone Russian. Except that I never could make it work so nicely as you, Espy. Well done ^^

[Espy]

Honestly I don’t think I did too great with it; there are still some minute details I could have tweaked to make it better. Also wtf did I do to his ear.

[Death by Mirrors]

Ok, now that you mentioned it, the ear looks slightly off indeed. But you've never seen me draw, so I stand by my initial judgement.

[Espy]

Would be interested in that.

[Espy]

D&D tokens, 2/??, starring my kenku rogue and my friend's warforged fighter.

[bluebird]

oh bird's eye view. really like the how the backsides are shown. v nice tokens

[Espy]

So I, uh, actually mostly traced models made in HeroForge, because boy am I bad at top-down views. But at least they're helping me get a grasp on how to draw from that really weird perspective.

[bluebird]

hey at least u honest abt it 🙌 i think it's fine to trace to learn and for personal use.

[Espy]

Mhh. I used to hate tracing, but then D&D tokens happened and...really, I can't be assed to draw that shit from scratch.

[bluebird]

well i mean, who wouldn't cave for D&D stuff.
i used to have 0 tolerance for tracing, but now i'm like it's ok as long as credit is given and isn't sold for profit.
