Omg, are those the kittens of the venus flytrap plant cat? God, I still love that cat so much *^*

Maybe pitcher plant if you've not done so already?

Apologies for the late reply, was moving to a coffee shop.

Best 30 minutes of sleep I ever had.

OH that is so cool. I'm assuming a replica but still, cool as HELL omg. God, that reminds me I need to go back to the Natural History Museum soon - about time I went on my own so I could spend all day there LOL

College of Ag? I'm not familiar, I'm afraid </3
But I've heard US colleges are kinda known for their good luck charms LMAO.

Eh, not really. If it works it works. If you don't like the taste of mint then that's that. Kid's tooth paste works the same way LOL.

Valid choice, I'd give it a solid 7/10

That's so valid tho, at my uni we have a t-rex skull out in our ACLC building, just sitting on the ground for people to look at and touch lmao. We also have a massive turtle skeleton in our museum which I find so cool

Yeah, I'm apart of the college of Ag so kids used to go up to it and rub it's nose for good luck before football games, can't let our team lose ;)

Yeah, it's really weird and kind of embarrassing so I have no idea why I told you XD

Eternity

Yeah I went to sleep under a coffee table that same night.

It's definitely cool! Though, at heart I'm still more of a geology and paleontology person. Give me my rocks and fossils holy fuck - some of those come to uni with my LOL.

Also that's pretty cute! Moose as big as hell, god damn.

Haha, fair enough.

Oh, huh. I guess I have that piece of lore now, that's fair enough. I'm pretty sure someone was telling me they did the same thing recently, so you're not alone!

Lmao, too shit faced? XD

That's awesome, I mean technically mine are at my home too, gotta love college. It 100% is an art and a beautiful thing, honoring the animal that gave its life too. At my college we have a moose head that's fallen into disarray, well-loved though, it's considered to be a good luck charm.

Lmao, am I proud of it? No, do I need references and facts for things? Yeah, kinda XD

Yeah, this has bothered me since I was little so (No one outside of my family knows this XD) I still use kids toothpaste because it's sadly the only one I can stand. I wish they made other flavors, but mint is pretty much it unless you go hunting on amazon

Sounds good, have fun!

I was absolutely trollied, I did not feel it one bit.

That'd be super cool! :0 I have a few skulls and a few other miscellaneous bones - though I've not expanded my collection in a while as well,, I've been at uni and the skulls stay at home haha.
Preservation and taxidermy is definitely an art form.

Yeah, I'm not about that LMAO

Oh, hm, that's interesting. Have you ever tried non mint flavoured/scented tooth paste-?

And sure, I'm pretty busy today, but at the end of the day let me know if you still need a hand haha, I'm sure you'll probably figure something out in the meantime!

The Reaper

01:00:45 Reaper / Grim

ET
XD That's great, must've sucked in the moment though XD

I have some bones I extracted from owl pellets in a bag in my room that I'd love to turn into art. I think that's so cool, death and stuff like that can be really beautiful if you look at it in the right way :3

That's fair, I'm probably on a few watch lists XD

It's not so much the brushing part but the smell and spitting out part, I find it disgusting. I also can't stand the smell of mint

Fair, anything helps at this point XD

Eternity

Reaper
There's a video of me getting slapped in the face on youtube somewhere 😭 full force. God knows what else is out there

Haha, I can understand that!

See, I find a lot of it interesting. I'm all for vulture culture, preserving skulls, all that. I've got collected roadkill buried in my garden 'n all, the skulls are cooking.

Though, when it comes to looking for references online, I prefer to be more careful with what I'm looking up.

Brushing their teeth-? That'd a new one haha.

Hm, I see. I could show you what I'd do, but I can't say it'd be 100% accurate haha.

Poses are generally okay. You can't call someone out for heavy referencing a howling wolf image just because their wolf is howling. If that makes any sense?
With more complicated poses however, you will need to be careful when referencing.

I'm very curious about heavy references >.>

If you actually have an application where you are able to put the model in your desired pose, can you still draw that pose? Of course, it will still have slight changes, such as designs, facial features, eyes, etc... (This may sound quite dumb but I need to know e.e)))

Awesome thanks =^-^=

Question,

What if you take a picture of your pet or something, then like redraw it digitally by tracing the lines and colors and stuff? Would you be allowed to use that?

Edit; what was i thinking

Since the picture you're referencing off of would belong to you, there wouldn't really be any art theft happening, so that would be fine. Just be sure to either mention that you're referencing off your own photos or keep the proof on hand just in case someone asks.

If a player offers a basic sketch to help newer artists help develop their skills, is that allowed?

(It's not a lineart, it's a basic basic sketch. Down to the guidelines)

If you gave them permission to use the sketch, I don't see why not.

Okay, so I drew my avatar after I used my fennec fox plush as a reference. I also took a picture of it on my phone and drew the base lines of it before drawing it freehand on my chromebook. Would that be considered tracing or heavy referencing? I just want to make sure..

Hi Boke,

Sorry for the late reply. I would refrain from tracing/copying off of a plush toy as there are design rights when it comes to toys. While I doubt the toy manufacturer would come after you for selling their design for virtual currency, I still wouldn't recommend it just out of respect for the designer.
