Do I use bases? Not really.

I will admit that those hoodies are not original, I saw them on zerochan and had to start altering them. Since they are an original of someone else I can't sell them. BUT, I can make originals "inspired by, but not copypasta" off of it, so off to my tablet I go. The rest of the links listed here are for refs only, for positioning and proportions etc.

I have folders on my computer full of pictures and images that inspire me, as well as ones that have poses that I like. :3
