Professional Disappointment

more information about the upcoming movie Adam (2019) from trans actors who worked as extras in the film 

for those who don’t know Adam (2019) is a film based off a book written by Ariel Schrag and the reason why it’s so gross and offensive is that the plot basically revolves around a cishet boy pretending to be a trans man so he can sleep with lesbians

Okay! I’m going to try to answer this best I can, but before I do, please remember I am just a humble animation student and by no means a professional artist or a seasoned expert, so this might not be the correct way to do things or be extremely accurate. This is just how I do it, and a couple tips I’ve picked up from teachers at school.

First of all, getting familiar with the anatomy of legs helps a lot! (I know this is the dreaded answer to every art question) I don’t know too much about the muscles of the legs other than the basics, so I don’t talk about them here because I don’t want to look like an idiot. They’re very worth studying though, especially the muscles that form the inside of the thigh and back of the calf.

Those are some leg studies I did from life in class last year, with the key parts labelled.

Chances are you’ve tried to draw legs and??

Unless you’re going for a certain style, legs that look like straight tubes or 90 degree angles are gonna look a bit weird.

As you can see with the life drawings above, legs have certain natural curves and rhythms to them! None of the bones in the legs are straight or tubular, so your legs should not be either.

Sorry for the really mediocre pelvis it’s not my strong suit oh god. It’s easy to characterize the legs as something like this:

Remembering that the knee is a hinge joint and that it has a sort of curved offset from the upper leg to the lower leg really helps.

So when you keep that offset in mind and apply some curves over the muscle and fat layered on top of those BEAUTIFULLY RHYTHMIC bones, you get dynamic flow in your legs. The hip (trochanter), kneecap (patella) and ankle (fibula/tibia malleolus) are good landmarks to keep in mind.

So by applying some curves, you get a softer/more dynamic/rhythmic feel to the legs that makes your figure look a lot less static even if they are standing entirely still. It’s also worth noting most people shift their weight onto one hip or another, position their feet weirdly, etc etc.

Like you would have hive blocks that randomly generate in forest/jungle type biomes and would cause tiny damage if you moved quickly in a small radius around them. You could use string and hats to craft a bee veil to nullify the damage, and use an arrangement of iron nuggets to make a “hive tool” to interact with the hive blocks to get honey and wax from them. A smoker could be used to stop them from dealing damage when you open them up with the hive tool. They would only produce honey and wax if there were flowers within a large radius of them and would slowly die out of you removed all the flowers. They could also periodically send out a “swarm” if they are left with too much honey for too long, that buzzes around and seeks out a sheltered place to sit. (It flies around as an entity then turns in to a “block” when it finds a suitable area) After the swarm sits under a tree or ledge for long enough it should turn in to a hive block and start the process all over again. To make bees renewable for people who play survival maps like skyblock, swarms could very rarely spawn during the day in forest or jungle biomes if there are flowers around.

Some crafting ideas???

Smoker: Use it to send a puff of smoke forwards. If the smoke hits a hive block it will “calm” it for a certain time so that it doesn’t do damage and can be interacted with.

Hive tool: Use on a hive block to “open” it and reveal the honey and wax that is available. An “open” hive could randomly damage you if it isn’t “calmed” with a smoker.

Veil: Wear this to not take damage around them. (unopened)

Queen cage: Possibly used to relocate swarms? Tool to “capture” them? Or maybe just use a bucket like me. “Bucket of Bees” sounds like a fun item.
