How do you draw Abodes Dreads/Braids? I'm a black creator and still (embarrassingly) struggle with them in the arcana style. (And in general XD) the way you draw her is gorgeous. And I must know the magic you poses.

Nothing to be embarrassed for! Unfortunately there's not much reference for black hair in the Arcana, so we all have to guess. I'd highly recommend looking at @kianamaiart and Simkray's hair brushes for other examples of stylising black hair (if anyone has examples of black hair in angular art styles, please share!!)

Anyway, I hope this helps!

Dreads and braids are both segmented styles which makes their basic construction similar, however dreads are stiffer and hang less than braids, which are quite heavy

She usually pulls her hair back so I only have to pay attention to the hairline, but I draw each dread as a somewhat stiff tube. Where it connects to the scalp I feather in short, fine lines for the edges/thin hair that's attached to the skin.

To show the twisted texture of dreads, I add curved lines along each one. For me, this is a good balance of detail for the style (though I can still get tired of lineart -_-)

Then, as a final detail, I give Abosede imperfect ends, topping most dreads off with a thin twist. This is optional as some dreads don't have this.

Then finally, for colour. I take reference for how they render ropes and add a series of light lines along each dread. Dreads don't reflect much light, so these are pretty faint.

For some braided hairstyles, you just replace the tubes I use for dreads with a simple plait pattern (as seen in Lucio's masquerade outfit). If you're aiming for cornrows, instead of the segments, draw the tubes along the scalp with sharp ends. Then fill them with a plait pattern. For extra detail, you can hatch lines in between the cornrows where the hair is pulled into the braid.

Braids have stronger highlights than dreads, and I tend to dot them in the centre of each part.

So this is my basic process. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

Moar gus dreads edits PLEASE

normally when i draw locs i add more detail but i imagine if he really was designed with them they would have to simplify the locs into just the basic shape for animation

#asks #the owl house #toh edit #gus porter #gus my friend gus #i think the only other time ive edited gus to have locs is when i did. the emo house edits #bcuz i wanted him to have longer hair that could cover one eye (emo)

SUPER TINY DETAIL ABT GREG IN HELLS CHICKEN JP VERSION THATS MAKING ME CRAAAAAAAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYY (spoilers under da cut)

so it’s about this line

“... C’mon, keep it together, Gregor.”

in the japanese version it’s

「…よし、がんばろう、ぐれごぉる。」

to not overcomplicate this post... normally, you’d write his name as グレゴール, using katakana, because “gregor” is not a japanese word. however, in this case, it’s written as ぐれごぉる, using hiragana (which is normally used for japanese words).

why am i crazy about this...? well... if you look at the shape of the characters themselves you can see... 👉👉👉 グレゴール vs ぐれごぉる

hiragana (ぐれごぉる) is sometimes used instead of katakana (グレゴール) because the characters have a more rounded appearance compared to katakana, and thus give a cute, maybe even childish impression...

plus, if you just replaced the characters in グレゴール with hiragana, you might get ぐれごーる, but the japanese translation decided to make it even cuter by replacing the ー with a small ぉ (both serve the same function in the pronunciation of greg’s name, but having a smaller letter and even more rounded edges increases the cuteness...)

you could basically read it as if... greg called himself “gwegow”. it’s a moe way of speaking. he’s encouraging himself the way he would encourage a kid he’s looking after.

what...? why did they do this... for what reason did they do that...

what...................................

#limbus company #gregor #everybody at projmoon and each of the separate translation teams: we HAVE to show the cute and sexy appeal of this OLD MAN!!! TO THE WORLD !#i need to kiss everybody at the jp and eng loc teams on the fucking mouth btw. with tongue even #i wish i could somehow share parts of the eng loc w jp and kr side but well. thats what i used to do on twitter
