This is too fucking great to not reblog

BIG MACHO

LMAOOOOOO

Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

image
image
image

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

image

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

image

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

image

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

image

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

image

Where has this information been all my life!?  Got-dayum!  Dis gun git used!

Hope some of these can be helpful.

Dem chin ‘n eyebrow tips tho…

I gotta disagree with the comparison of The Notorious Big LT to Kohzilla. There's narrative structural integrity given to him that just isn't present with Kevin Lion Turlteson. Zilla's got a very explicit 'Rule of 3' narrative trick applied to it. It's introduced first through Zhao, reinforced by Koh, and pays off with sweet Kohju action. Teen Mutant Lion Turtle didn't get any of that. Narratively, he's still an ass pull even if thematically, he's in the clear.

Fair enough, but my point is that Koizilla itself is foreshadowing for the Lionturtle. If Koh counts towards Koizilla, then why don’t both of those point towards the Lionturtle? The same could even be said for creatures like Appa and the various sea serpents. There’s nothing about the Lionturtle that doesn’t follow from a characteristic of something featured over the course of the series.

Yeah, but that’s world building, not narrative and ‘Doo Sex Machines’ are a narrative-based complaint.  I’ve never heard anyone take issue with You Down Wit The LT (Yeah You Know Me) not making sense for the World of Avatar, just that what he established for the plot had no prior buildup and appeared out of nowhere like a well placed jut of rock.

But here’s the real important ask: How the hell did I type through all that without noticing I called it Kohzilla instead of Koizilla?   Frigging TWICE!

So, what exactly did he establish for the plot that didn’t have precedent? Magic powers? Size? Secrecy? The ability to talk? Unknown techniques to teach? That Bending is a function of energies in the body?

Aang had encountered every single one of those things before, separately. And repeatedly.

And I try not to call out typos, lest I be judged and found wanting. ;)

It’s important to remember I’m not talking about world building, but narrative structure.  Now the season finale is structured much like Book Water’s finale in that they are both narratively self-contained.  Even if they have plot elements that require knowledge of previous episodes, the actual stories they are telling have a distinct thee-act beginning/middle/end structure that is completely isolated.

Yes Aang had encountered similar elements prior, but key word is ‘separately’.  They weren’t in the finale nor were they ever established as being connected.  There’s nothing you can look to about those moments and go, “This is clearly meant to directly correlate with the final battle and that a giant God-Beast will bestow upon Aang ‘The Special’ needed to defeat the finale boss.”  Narrative-wise, they are completely irrelevant and disconnected.

That’s why I made the Moizilla comparison in the first place.  It had no presence outside the finale whatsoever, but because of the rule of 3 - which I now remember is called planting/reinforcement/payoff - nobody called bullshit.  They were narratively established.

*reblogging cause my phone won’t let me save it*

…ffffffoocking ‘ell mate!

I been avoiding this cause everytime I tried, I couldn’t get it to work, but this…might help.

So I found out while I was vacationing in Ireland that there’s an arcade of sorts entirely devoted to VR - which I had never experienced before - called Future Shock.  directly across the street from the apartment I was staying at.  I only got to check it out a few times and I wish I’d done more cause I reeally wanted to explore this paint program some more!

Here’s our quote from the press release: “We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building. Netflix is wholly dedicated to manifesting our vision for this retelling, and we’re incredibly grateful to be partnering with them.” — Bryan Konietzko & Michael DiMartino
