The exaggerated swagger of a… whatever the fuck he is

The structures of most of my figures typically have trapezoids making up most of them, in the arms, legs, torso, stuff like that. That wouldn’t be possible if not for this.

It’s stupidly simple, putting a circle that’s the right size in the middle of the two, but it works effectively.

I’ll make an example

Me being put among these guys makes me feel like I’m actually good-

When it comes to me creating characters specifically, I usually resort to something 3rd party in order to make my “first draft” of the design. One I use primarily is heroforge.com, but I try not to limit myself with it past that first draft. I usually build on that design when I get to making the figure, so it comes out even a little bit differently from the initial concept. On other occasions, I make an inspiration board filled with objects, characters, items, colours, etc, and I use that to put my ideas to form. Those work well as references for when I make the figure as well, as I can grab ideas from it on the fly.

Tricks and techniques that I use? That’s a tricky one. I use lots of trapezoids, you’ll find them everywhere on my figures. Putting a circle between a trapezoid and another node easily fixes the issue of there being an empty space. I try to make sure that most if not all of the non-static nodes are able to be smart-stretched. I don’t animate as much as I used to, but this helps for stuff like squash and stretch and exaggeration. I can’t really think of any tips and tricks, and I know I have a ton, but I don’t really know what the question is asking for. Sorry lol
