(Context: Our party in a Curse of Strahd campaign has somehow ended up in the dungeon of a mad scientist’s castle, which by all rights should not exist in this world. Our characters don’t know what science is as a concept, and therefore hate everything about this castle. We’ve just fought off a room full of huge spiders and are trying to find a way out of a room full of shipping containers.)
DM: So the door has opened, and you all start to walk through it.
Me, playing our Aasimar fighter, trying to be funny: She kicks a crate on the way out.
[Our DM starts to giggle.]
DM: You…you kick the crate?
Me: waIT NO NO NEVERMIND-
DM: NO YOU SAID IT! YOU SAID IT! IT’S HAPPENING!
[He rolls.]
DM: [Still laughing.] Something in the crate starts to rumble.
Me, in character: Oh shit rUN RUN RUN! RUN!
Our half-elf sorceress: WHAT DID YOU DO????
Me: I DON’T KNOW BUT IT’S SCIENCE AND I HATE IT.
Our half-orc barbarian: I HATE SCIENCE I HATE SCIENCE I HATE SCIENCE
scene: we are in an inn bedroom with an obstinately quiet hostage tied to a chair. my warlock has been threatening her with a dagger at her throat. we’ve tried magic, threats, etc, and are running out of immediate options.
rogue: “what if I just.. tickle her?”
me: i take the very tip of my dagger and just, very, very gently run it along her neck, generally the place where one would be ticklish.
dm: … are you trying to cause her damage, or are you actively trying to tickle her with a dagger?
me: i am actively trying to tickle her with a dagger.
how did you learn to draw wrinkles in clothes? i’m practicing but it never looks right. any tips?
My best tip to you is search up proper tutorials on google images or deviantart, that’s how I did it and still do it. There are people out there who actually know how to make tutorials, why are you coming to me.
Instead of using straight lines, use loopy lines (mixed with some straight), it’ll make it look better. Depending on fabric and style you can make the loop slightly triangular.
Focus on joint areas of the body.
The whole point of folds is that the fabric is pushed into itself. Focus on where the fabric would be pushed or pulled back.
For example with someone sitting with their legs up - the fabric on the front of the knee would be stretched (no wrinkles) and the fabric on the back of the knee would be all scrunched up.
Look at photos of people in big clothes and study off of that.
This is just the basics of how it works, none of this is how to make it look good, I still don’t know that part.
