Today’s Hand Study comes curteous of looking at the fabulous work of asktehbowz who like Waterlillies is someone whose work both intimidates and inspires me. And considering Midbus is a parallel of Bowser in the actual video game, it’s obvious I draw a lot of inspiration from Bowz’ bara intense interpretation of Bowser. Not just because Midbus is by his origin in game, connected to the lizard, but mostly because it was Bowz’ art that helped get me into this fandom. So please send all grievances for my troublemaking to them ‘v’
but yah this one was gfun cause
1. learning cartoony bara shapes is pretty much a MUST especially since Midbus is no petite slender wrist twink
2. Bowz’ style is hilarious to dissect. Exxaggerated, stylized, and clean. Bowz mun depicts everything from muscles to joints in ways that emphasize personality and style for the viewer. In the case of Bowsers hands here, it’s a sausage finger with claws type deal, making him feel brutish, big, and a bit clumsy but powerful. Strong square palms and big chicken drumstick arms (something I’m also trying to work on more, so I did look at how did forearms) for beefy bara realness.
It’s like he got big kitty paws ❤
((OOC: okay but I’m both flattered and amused by all this description. also, I’m absolutely fascinated by an outside opinion of my style.
you’re doin some real good work lately too bruh keep it up~))
