Got a new toy - a puffball on a spring.

And achieved a Sanzo glare. XD

She really prefers to lay on her side and play with it that way, being a LAZY-ASS KITTY, but she occasionally plays with it in an upright position:

After exerting herself for approximately two and a half minutes, she now takes a well-earned snooze to recover.

I finally got off my ass and started soemthing I'd been wanting to do - go through a magazine (last month's Vanity Fair for those keeping score) and draw all the hands. Well, I'm not drawing all the hands, but the three hours total of drawing (would be more except I watch TV while doing it and keep getting distracted by the Mythbusters and whoever else is on) have produced the proof that yes, as long as I'm looking at soemthing else and they're not attached to anything, I can usually draw hands.

The problem comes, of course, when I'm trying to figure out how they should go *and* have them the right size and shape for whoever they're supposed to be attached to.

YES.

Oh - yesterday I found this guy (http://justmeina.deviantart.com/), who's obviously done a lot of pose work for life drawing classes. (Not worksafe, obviously). They're primarily full-figure isntead of hands and heads, but they're actual life-drawing poses, not random "Now I shall pretend to be Vegeta" poses.

I'd be happy if I could find "I AM VEGETA" poses; at least that would be a change from what I usually see: row after row of overexposed, pouty faces in the exact same damn pose.

This guy is awesome. Thanks for giving me the link! I'm definitely going to pass it around to my artist-y type acquaintances.

I paged trhough a lot of stock artists yesterday looking for ones that said it was OK to use their poses to sell prints - I know that you can't technically copyright a pose, but I'd still rather look at people who say it's OK since I'm specifically going to be using them to do work to sell. At any rate, I found a club called Dragonball-Stock (http://dragonball-stock.deviantart.com/) that's ... people posing like they're in Dragonball Z. XD

The ok-to-use-for-commercial-work-off-DA people I found so far are here:

No guarantees as to quality: I was looking for FREEEEEEEE over quality. XD

i should make stock pics, hrm

If you made stock pics and gave me permission to use 'em to make prints to sell I would be all about that. XD I don't do photomanips, but on occasion I trace basic lines and that's always a gray area ethically. Unless someone says "Do what you will!" XD

haha i'd make stocks and srsly let people do whatever they wanted with them. there's no shame in my game.as long as someone needed pictures of a fatty girl with nice hips, i'm there.

i should ive it a shot. it'd give me something to do.

Hah. I'm never going to have to worry about "okay for commercial work". I'd show you my gallery so you could see what kind of an amateur I am, but there's practically nothing in it because I'm such an amateur that I never FINISH anything. XD

I think there needs to be some sort of community/webpage just for listing good pose sources on DevART.
