Sorry if you've answered this before but why did you change your name from Senshistock to Adorkastock

Oh yes! Let's talk about it! ⭐ When I started making pose references I was doing them for myself so I could draw Sailor Moon OCs. Fandom friends were like, "Wow nice poses!" and I was like "Thanks, it me." so they asked to use them, too.

I started making more poses focused on Sailor Moon themed characters and ideas which is why I chose the name "SenshiStock." Senshi is the Japanese word for soldier and the characters in Sailor Moon were called "bishoujo senshi" AKA "pretty soldiers." (In the modern incarnations the branding as been "pretty guardians" to focus more on the protection aspect vs the fighting aspect.) Eventually people started asking me for poses that were outside this theme and I began to expand my gallery. For many years I kept the name but for a long, long time it was feeling like it didn't fit anymore. Only - I didn't have a new name? SarahStock was one but she's a Canadian wrestler so I didn't want that to be confusing. 😅 Fast forward to 2018/2019 when I started getting really serious about my hairbow making business. I needed a name and a friend (gosh I wish I could remember WHO) suggested "AdorkaBows" since my bows are pretty nerdy themed. I loved it immediately. After that it just seemed natural (and maybe good marketing?) to change my pose reference stuff to "AdorkaStock." It was actually my kid who made that suggestion. Brilliant little bean.

So yeah to summarize for the TL;DR:

SenshiStock name felt outdated thematically

I didn't have a good name so I didn't change it for many years after that feeling started

my bow business got a name AdorkaBows

stock followed along = AdorkaStock

And that's how that happened. ♥

I haven't posted or drawn anything recently, even sketches, so here's a fanart of Nina Williams from the Tekken universe (outfit from "Death by Degrees"). Pose reference from SenshiStock on DeviantArt.

Warm up doodle after not drawing for a while ♡ Got the inspiration from the Bath & Bodyworks lotion "Into the Stars" c': Pose referenced from Senshistock, just modified to better fit my vision.

#original #original character #OC #I don't know what her name is but-- #I like how she turned out ;; ;; #I didn't know what pose to do when I was trying to doodle to warm up so I browsed around and saw that pose #and decided to change it a bit and just roll with what I was seeing dfshjkdg

Is there anywhere you recommend finding reference poses? I have trouble finding interesting poses, especially if I'm looking for something more specific and i find it hard to make my own references

it can be tough, especially since google is getting worse and worse (and so is pinterest, tho i've only started looking for poses on pinterest recently -- and so far i don't think it's very good for looking for specific ref, i just tuck away stuff that looks fun for later and then dig in there if i don't have any ideas for warmups).

here's an ask i answered in the past with some starting points (senshistock is now known as adorkastock, though!); i'll specifically highlight that, while tedious, the "find videos of the thing you're drawing and pause repeatedly" method can be a lifesaver, especially if you're looking for really specific types of action or fabric movement. also, i'll bring up that if adorkastock doesn't have what you need, it's very likely that SOMEBODY on dA does -- a lot of the photo stock there tends to be created specifically with aiding artists in mind which means it's easier to find poses/ref that lends itself specifically to character illustration from there (fantasy-esque poses, weapons, etc) vs wading through dumb-looking corporate stock on google

bro grammarly literally has a built in thing now where you type in a prompt and it generates entire passages based on that i’m actually fucking sick. i’m also a visual artist and when i google very basic things to look for reference images FOR MY ART like upwards of 70% of it is ai generated bullshit it actually makes me want to kill myself

I know, it's really terrible. What I'm trying to find encouraging is how unified artists and writers are about how vehemently they all hate it, and in the case of generated writing how terrible that writing is. Hard to feel intimidated by something so bad it's not worth selling.

As for AI art--I'll be honest, I don't see the longevity. AI art cannot replace real artists, and I'm trying to be optimistic and envision a near future in which everyone sees just how little we can get from AI art. Because I think I can guess its use--companies will use AI to generate concept art and writing in order to cut costs for actual human creative work. But I think that that generated content will be so milquetoast that it cannot make a return on the investment put into it.

Think of all the amazing shows that are out right now, all the beautiful artwork and comics. The things that have a very purposeful style and tone, that speak to you in very personal ways. For me, it's The Bear and Succession--all elements of these shows, from the casting to the set design to the costuming to the dialogue and narrative, work together in ways that make the whole far more than the sum of their parts.

From what I've seen so far, AI can't do that. AI can identify basic narrative structure, can figure out how to replicate pixel and hue arrangement, but it can't make anything really meaningful. It can't identify shape languages and motifs that achieve emotional or didactic purpose. It can't speak to us in the ways we can speak to each other.

It also can't come up with anything new. AI only works when we give it something to regurgitate. There is no AI without real art and real writing. It can't produce anything original or interesting that someone else already came up with.

To offer you some practical help, I recommend SenshiStock and other stock artists for references, if it's poses you're looking for. You can also use model lookbooks or fashion ads, those can have some fun poses and perspectives. As for grammarly, there's not much you can do other than not use it.

And yeah, it's gonna be ass for a while. There's already a lot of human-made mediocre content out there that actually is making bank. But I want to have faith that our appetite for human connection will win out, and if not that, then at least we will eventually get so bored of AI's rehashed schlock that we'll go back to making stuff for each other again if only for the novelty.

The reason I was asking was I was trying to draw my two characters from my stories, I just am not good at faces, I can put them together like they are kissing no face I have the image in my head I just wish I could put it on paper, maybe one day I will get lucky, thank you, hope I didn't waste your time

I encourage you to keep trying at it! No one's ever perfect and everyone has to start somewhere. I recommend looking up "for beginners" tutorials online or on youtube for a little basic instruction. Also I recommend looking up pose references. Unsplash.com is a great royalty-free photo reference site where you can hunt down pictures of real life people in lots of different poses and postures. Tracing someone else's art is generally frowned upon, but using an image as a reference - especially a royalty-free image that is already available for free use - is a highly encouraged and acceptable practice. Find a good reference and try to mimic what you see. Its a great way to learn!

Senshistock is also a great pose reference, they only request acknowledgement in descriptions/comments if you reference for an original artwork

2023 art summary, coming in fashionably late. Director's commentary under the cut:

January: I feel proud of this one, but also feel kind of sad that over the course of a whole year, that January is the artistic highlight. I had a few free days at the beginning of the year where I was alone, and got this wild drive to draw something that I very rarely, if ever, get anymore, especially for a piece that includes a background. Pessimism aside though, I'm really happy with how this came out, barring some aspects of Kanan's facial anatomy I could improve on and Ahsoka's hand (I gave up here, don't look too closely). I've had the scene in my mind for a while, and I'm glad I could finally take it on artistically.

February: Yes, technically this was published in March. As far as I can find, this is possibly the only thing I drew in February, sketches included. I published it on twitter and tumblr in Feburary, fully intending to leave it at the flats, but decided to render a bit on 03/01. On account of my literally having nothing else for the month, I let it slide. I'm also happy to have finished a piece for Seventh/Fifth, and it received pretty decent reception considering it's a bit of a rarepair.

March: I didn't do much, but I did draw Trilla, Eighth, and Reva; and the dynamic has been shamelessly influenced by To Gain The Harbor on Ao3, which has occupied my head rent-free this year.

April: I actually drew two things this month, but I chose Voe, since I always have to have my annual Voe in these, and I'm really happy with how I drew her, here. It's also unpictured due to the formatting constraints, but this one also contained one of my best Kylos. 

May: Work started getting very busy here (and never really stopped), so this is where ~sketch season~ starts. I noticed that I sketched a lot of sitting and kneeling this year, which is a bit of a flex, since I've historically had trouble with that (and am still not perfect, but getting there).

June: Credits to Senshistock for the pose here, but I decided to focus back in on anatomy, which was honestly driven by my beginning to consistently exercise for the first time since college—I got a lot more in tune with the practical aspects of how my own and other bodies could move, and though a lot of my poses are static, I find that it's a pretty big influence on my art this year.

July: It's at this time that my love for Reva also turned a corner—I objectively loved her as a character from the beginning, but around this time or June is when she rocketed herself to my third-favorite (hehe) inquisitor. She really grips me as a character, and she featured pretty prominently in my art this year.

August: Was busy touching grass this month, so didn't do a ton of drawing, but did a quick sketch of a village babushka.

September: I decided to color a drawing of Samantha Trapp and Kilner from We Fix Space Junk, which has carried me through many a hard day, and while the drawing feels just a little off, I think I at least somewhat maintained my ability to color something in.

October: I decided to treat myself and buy some fancy pens, and decided on the Sarasa pens on a whim. While they haven't been the cure-all to my art block, they are so much fun to draw in, and about half my sketches from October-present have been with these. Also, Rey!

November: Reva brainrot feat. The Grand Inquisitor. A friend and I were talking over an AU where the Grand Inquisitor (as a Jedi) takes Reva on as his Padawan, and I had to draw it.

December: I sketched a fair bit this month, but decided to go with Eighth.
