For anyone who is interested in what's been really going on between @chocochu and some other users, linked below is a 38 page Google Doc outlining the whole thing with screenshots

Ack, this is one of the few things I’m not sure how to explain xD

For the most part, just study your hands. If you’re having trouble, one day sit yourself down and draw your own hands a bunch. You’ll slowly start to understand them, even if it’s no fun.

Something else I like to do is look at pages like this, where Disney and other cartoon animators studied the way their characters hands are supposed to work- in a way, this is much harder than drawing realistic hands. You still have to understand the realistic anatomy of the hand, yet also make them caricatured as well as make them expressive.

Another thing that helped me was, surprisingly, learning how to draw cartoony “Mickey” hands when I was in my Bendy and the Ink Machine phase. It breaks hands down in a highly simplified way- if you can start to understand how these simplified hands work, it’s not much harder to learn more detailed hands.

the point in time i draw him is a bit further into the Future World which IIRC was 25 years from present ? so since i imagine octavo being around 30 in the present, that would make dirge at least older than 55- i depict him probly in his 60′s after he’s fully established himself as the ruler (:

however one important thing to take note, many of the problems that he'd pin on "old age" would really be due to the fact he's an actual Dead Body and he either doesnt want to admit it or is completely oblivious. the aspects of being living and dead become blurred to him and he'd think its normal to completely lose one's appetite after a certain age and stop eating altogether. when in fact its because his organs no longer function.

“It is dark. Lonely. It leads one to wonder if they’re growing more or less mad as time passes by, with only the luminous stones found below the earth to offer light.”

Context: chocochu asked me to draw a thing and I messaged them saying I might be unable to post the reply that day due to time zones (it was about 10pm for me at that moment). One thing lead to another and I said "Imagine waking up to death metal?".

So this bad sketch happened today 0w0
