  • It must feel great to sleep without anything on. Nothing getting twisted and you cool down faster in the summer.

  • There seems to be something foul afoot here.

    Edit:

    Yep, a big majority of the lines match up. Only minor tweaks. But i see no descriptions or submission comments on using anything for a reference.

    This was my main reference! I've been studying lighting a lot lately and wanted to try something similar! None of the lines should 'matchup', it's an original drawing that just looks similar :)

    Wouldn't some of kind of credit to the artist or reference piece be reasonable then?

    I'd love to give credit to each and every artist or reference I use, although there are often up to 10 references for a single piece (a pic I drew today used 8 references!). I can't fit all those links into a Twitter post. Plenty of artists use a diverse pool of references, but don't post each and every single one, however as a community we often share and celebrate each other's artwork and I think that's a great substitute.
    Usually I praise artists in my Discord and share lots of art I like, including Photonoko (the artist of the above vixen) who does amazing lighting and texturing.

    Referencing is fine and there's no requirement to post a list of your references whenever you draw something. That said, it's a good practice to always make the thing you're doing your own, making sure it doesn't look like a copy. It also helps train you to apply things like light setups from a reference to something that's different from the subject in that reference. Or in different positions.

    For single-ref or primary-ref studies like this, it can be a good idea to list your source material, just so people can't fault you for it. Just something to get ahead of those who'd inevitably get all up in arms and start screaming. ;)

    Had to actually stop wearing briefs to bed. I guess I move in my sleep and I've woken with the legs of my underwear pulled tight and my entire leg numb. Cut off circulation for god knows how long.

    But yes it does feel great regardless.
