Is there any advice you could give for drawing dynamic poses for deer

Spines, mostly. Long strokes, odd refs. If I'm feeling dynamic I like drawing the spine being weird and build the character around it.

Do you have any lore about the things with faces stuff you've been putting out? I adore all their designs (especially the siblings you posted most recently) and would love to know if you have anything going on w them

The things with faces is something I like to play with in-between all the comic making, something just for me. Of course I'm itching to make it into a comic but with the workload I have now, I don't think it's something I can do.

I've been drawing exclusively animal comics for years now, and sometimes I really would want to work with something that doesn't need to be so wholesome all the time. I wanna draw people.. . . holding hands... kissing.... I miss expressing the wonders of humanity in the way animals can't, but one BIG problem! Drawing humans! It takes so long, oftentimes I get no joy from it. Even putting faces on these things has me weeping three tears at minimum, but at least they can kiss now, and it makes sense for them to have fully human minds. I feel this is the furthest I can go before the joy sours.

I've been building a little world where the denizens are all sphinx-like things who are more animal-bodied humans than human-faced animals. Animal-faced creatures are feral, used as livestock and game. This universe has likely been formed by scraps from other universes merging, bringing weird magic, involved gods and humble humans together and molding them into something new. Humanity is sought after feature. Maybe they have a statue of it somewhere.

There's different kinds of sphinxes. Some can grow and morph their horns, some are born with hands (respected crafters and medics), wings (harpies, traditional sphinxes), third eyes (the most in tune with magic, can switch eyeballs with others), and more. These two are the horned kind, heirs to a throne. The horned kind is believed to be the best and most just leaders, were it just for their natural crown or some event proving it in the past.

I have a little story in mind for them, but like I said, I likely won't have the time and energy to juggle a third project by myself. And I don't wanna draw castles or play with 3D, human faces are hard too. 💔

Crown's pride and shame

#things with a face #unhappy with the darker one's design so it keeps changing #they're siblings #the other one is a Dignified Child about to inherit the crown and the other one is just a Friend of Debauchery & Hater of Clothes

The calico with green eyes in the latest Jet & Harley has stolen my heart. The way you drew them in the last panel is just *chef's kiss*

Heart stealer! She'll put it in a jar.

Given Grimjav’s thoughts about Runi and what you said about how the rest of the mouth would handle her I can just imagine them all gathered around Runi going “Beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure” xD

I think they'd be more like "this lady has a mission, move outta the way". I bet they like her more than Nero.

Will Jet and Harly have chapters or will it be continuous

Just four bigger acts, no traditional chapters. However I'll likely need to take breaks at random times to keep the buffer up.
