Crow Time - Statue 1
This is gorgeous but also ✨️ouch✨️
"This boss is so hard to beat, if only there was an easier way!"
A short comic I made about my experiences as a seasonal worker, and the way places change you.
Ok but this is so cool, I adore this concept
It makes me think of long term nuclear warning messages
[id: a white userbox with a pastel blue border and pastel blue text that reads “this user is a slime.” on the left is an image of a dragon quest slime. /end id]
Barrel or pumpkin upon seeing the very corner of the Luminary's foot hitbox
lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship
well i fuckin powered through day 3's prompt, hell yeah
i know the most obvious choice would've probably been a dracky, but i had a lot of fun drawing a succubat in a nurse outfit lol
fuck it, no matter how long it takes me i'm gonna finish all the inktober prompts dammit!
i picked a great sabrecub for day 2 because look at this guy, he absolutely scurries
he decided to dress himself up as a dog and got a little messy with the paint :)
i'm late to this because my pen died, pissed >:(
i decided to have some fun and merge Dragon Quest XI with the inktober prompts, so here's a grim gryphon dressed as a witch!
ALMOST DONE...
oh my GOD that outfit is so good!!! I wish I had your talent!!
somehow my one celibate hendrik text post is like the most popular thing I’ve ever contributed to the dragon quest community and every so often people still comment on it.
anyway I also have opinions on rab do you guys wanna hear them
I think it’s really unfortunate that they took a character like rab with so much complexity, so many years of personal trauma, and tacked the ‘horny old man’ trait onto him. like i don’t even know why they did that?? it doesn’t add anything, and it’s not a particularly funny gag.. anyway most of my issues with dq11 come down to how they try to shoehorn in horny shit so consider the following;
what if rab was the sex object character instead of jade
listen. but it would be funny though. it’d be so funny. what if instead of just being some lecherous weirdo, his fascination with bunny girls comes from formerly being associated with them. like, okay.
canonically rab is both a) directly of the royal bloodline and b) someone with a lot of brothers. they don’t say if his brothers are older or younger. how funny would it be if rab was originally like 3rd in line to the throne so he spent his young adult years being a playboy. just… a goddamn suave rich adventurer type. it’s his forbidden past. no one likes talking about it because the idea of rab being hot makes the rest of the team ill. what if he just used to be associated with bar maidens and bunny girls in a mutual way. work associates. like, he with his royal wealth made sure to support his fellow sexy bitches in need. i just want his thing with bunny girls to be less weird and more like talking to old friends. the gang walks by a tavern and a bunch of the girls treat rab like he’s a celebrity. what if there’s honest to god a picture of rab in a bunny costume from 40 years ago in an issue of oogler’s digest. stop walking away from me.
I adore your galaxy brain, and I also raise you this idea: Rab looks at Ogler's Digest magazines because he wants to be like the girls in the magazines. In one of the 2D quests, a bunch of old men are turned into bunny girls. If you talk to Rab at some point in the quest, he says "Hm, maybe I could become a bunny girl? Aye, that wouldnae be so bad—it might give me a new lease of life!"
Ever since then, I've just imagined that when Rab said he was reading the magazines for the articles, he was telling the truth because he wanted to learn how to become a bunny girl. I love that option so much more than the old "horny grandpa" trope.
Thinking about them.
can we please pair this meme with @scrimmification's description of Hendrik anytime anything horny happens
not to post opinions about media on main but every time I open hendrik’s wiki page for drawing references I always catch the part in his bio where whoever wrote it calls him “perverted” and I really have to wonder. did I play the same game as everyone else? I have to know what in-text convinced people that hendrik is secretly lecherous like rab is. from what I gather it’s genuinely just the running gag about the porno magazine and that he’s generally attracted to women but… listen. I don’t care how gallant and heroic the guy is. he’s not getting any. he’s the most repressed man I’ve ever seen before in my entire life. I know in my heart of hearts he’s collecting those magazines the same way someone collects vintage lego. just staring at unclothed women and nodding like yes the photography on this is fantastic. every time he’s tried to start a relationship he treats it like he’s signing a blood oath and not in a romantic way. its in the kind of way where you wish therapy was invented just so he could have it. he’s at any given moment one stressor away from a heart attack. he canonically reacts to women being attracted to him by looking like he’s gonna die of embarassment. and you’re gonna tell me you think he’s horny. that if he even thought about boobs at an inopportune moment he wouldn’t just take his greatsword and chop his dick off.
The wiki pages for Dragon Quest are poorly regulated and definitely need to be taken with a grain of salt… infamous old example:
Also definitely agree about Hendrik being repressed as hell. His dialogue about the bunny girls in the casino and how “extraordinary” he finds the mermaids is pretty funny. I think it’s implied he’s gotten puff-puffs a few times before but I’d hardly call that “perverted”… He isn’t like Rab chasing girls around, he actively avoids them because 97% of the time he’s too shy and embarrassed to speak with them
HEY THIS IS IMPORTANT whats your favorite place to find drawing references?

Okay updating and consolidating lots of info here; as well as adding links for ease of access. Adding a brief description for some too; as is the case that not all of them have descriptions above. (Warning that some of these links contain nude refs, I will try to mark where possible which ones have more prominent ones.)

- CroquoisCafe. (NSFW, nude model poses warning) A stock photo pose site. You should be aware this org has been linked as pro-Trump. I leave it to y’all to decide if you want to use the resources or not. I highly encourage not financially supporting them and trying to support the individual models if you can.
- Line of Action. Fantastic site that includes posing refs, community discussions from other artists, figure study, anatomy, etc. So much stuff in here.
- PoseSpace. Extensive library of poses. Some free resources others are paid. I’ve not fully evaluated both, but you should be able to use this all mostly free and get great use out of it.

- DesignDoll. One of the best pose tool apps out there. You can customize so many things. They also have an extensive collection of ready made poses here.
