HOLY MOLI IMOLI

I'm still in a search to understand what body type my Titan must have and how to portray it right being buff and chubby at the same time. And here I used other type of drawing her colorful pattern, abt which I could write under other post with her (?). But I'm not sure which one is better.

Realized that I could separate tusks to see how she looks with them without the helmet. The UV on the mesh near their base was tweaked to see better where they connect. So with this ref from the game (that might be considered as the most relevant?) I'm not sure if they could smile like this with such position of their tusks and mouth. But I drew it differently. As a small irl ref for face folds could be chosen a Bulldog (fits the best bc of a short muzzle). But for Cabal with tusks it might be harder. And I also lowered these tusks like on this model a little, that's why such position for folds when smiling could feel more natural. But it gnaws at me a little that I drew it not completely canon as the game's model. (don't remember if I added these in other Cabal posts. Idk if it would have a point to gather separate posts full of refs and remarks about some alien species from Destiny (bc I might not know or not have enough, and it could be done already. And then they'll be scattered across my posts)) They also have detailed Hive models with these muscles and chitin details, so pretty. And a baby Ghaul.

So it can be seen how different these are and where the edges of her lips are.

I wanted to draw Oryx with Hidden Hive piercing (but when it will be; and I had Hive Syndicate sketches with these too), and only now I saw Caiatl having piercing on this only concept art that I had for understanding her face anatomy (but here it's not like on the model, her nose part is different, mb it's an early model). I'll add the link to the original from ArtStation.

How do I manage to make such long posts abt bodies of some Destiny species when I may be so taciturn usually or struggling with words
