My wonderful tg channel followers voted for receding hairline Bancoran but I have to admit I can’t get his type right at all

An optimistic way of thinking, but likely he was a heavy drinker just as most profs in the art field here. A shame, he was great at explaining things and rather young

That line of thought is weird only because my anatomy prof for whatever reason had five classes in a row on the construction of knees and feet, got fired and never got to the upper limbs even in his side workshop

Tbh it’s more about how you read the shape. Due to similarities in bone structure both hand and foot can be broken into pretty much same planes (but where the shape breaks on the thumb of the foot — it will be the index of the hand)

1) Very geometric approach to nails, as if in Perspective-Geometry way
2) Check whatever Rockwell and other xylography/graphic prints guys did, painters are your enemy
3) The obscure, almost occult “feet and hands have the same framework” but that one usually works for genuine perverts (like me)

It’s interesting to compare what art gets noticed more by bsky and what by tumblr. But both platforms adore shirtless dudes and women with skulls. And if you add “yuri” in any context on tumblr it’s guaranteed to blow up too

The DLC’s old woman’s “The great tide of human enterprise, all for naught. That's why I'm so taken by this grand sight. This must be what it's like to be a god.” alone encapsulates the idea of the entire series. Don’t let me get started on the sharpest character portrayals in 2-3 words alone

DS3 is a most excellent finale any series could wish for. It’s self-contained thematically and narratively, its development complications are proof of said brilliance. The mastery of minimalist writing of the studio peaked there — no excesses, every word has weight and purpose-

You. You get it.
A shield is great as a symbol of a broken or discarded oath. Maybe of abandonment or failure as with Artorias. But what purpose could it serve when the promise and duty are a deathwish itself
