The return of the bride of bad sketch

[shadesofmauve]

Okay! After having a wide-variety of things pointed out to me, and spending an hour last night with my tired-but-mostly-biddable sweetheart, I've some different options for how to have the guy sit.


notice: because of changes in the guy, lady's torso/arm is no longer quite right. I'll fix that *after* I have him down, since he's being way more problematic. Ditto for his left arm. I did work on her foot/leg and move the arm she's leaning on backwards (after E and I both tried it as it was and pronounced it awkward).

Also, the unfortunate tighty-whitey look is just an artifact of me trying to figure out exact hip angles.



Preferences? Which one looks more natural, comfortable, cute... ?


Working this out with Erik last night was a wonderfull lesson in how Different Bodies are Different.

I know, I know, you'd think I'd have figured that out already -- after all, it didn't take me that long to figure out that most people have legs of roughly the same length and ten toes -- but it's worth a reminder, especially when it comes to odd things we don't normally notice, like hip rotation. If E sits with his legs out in front of him, his toes want to turn out. Mine are happy pointing up (I tried to ask about this with regard to knees, but he was exhausted and not really understanding and started to seriously over-splain something about guys and scrotal pressure, which was, er, not what I was asking about at all).

And I need to go to bed now, or my giggling at that last Icon is going to wake my neighbors ;)

I don't have any icons with my kitties. *sad*

I must rectify this!

My kitties would agree with yours, but, well, Bruce-the-shark is always fun.

Sleep tight!

ETA: My Kitties (I have LOADS more pictures, but I'm lax about uploading.)

Such cute Kitties! I particularly like your Basement Kitty; I've always had a fondness for black cats.

Yeah, Basement Cat's a great kitty. She's, erm. Well, she's a bit dippy. (As are most cats, really.)

She fetches cough drops. She's not always great about bringing them ALL the way back and she gets annoyed when we won't crawl off the couch to pick up her pile of cough drops. Sometimes she drops them into the gap in the couch cushions, turns herself around, then dives back down the gap to "find" them.

She can often be found UNDER the rugs and she likes to have blankets on top of her.

We call her Beece mostly, except when we're calling her Beast. (Sometimes Geordie thinks we should have named her Stitch - "Get that OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!")

The tortie's name is Butterbeer, or Butterpot, or Butterball, or Oh god, MORE scratching. Her most common epithet is "No, you may NOT lie on my keyboard."

*grin*

Eo loves playing like that, too. She'll push her toys under the fridge or something so they're just within her reach and then hunt them out again. It's pretty cute.

We just laugh - it's very cute. She's a dippy kitty. She'll complain and cry that we're not picking her up, then when we do, she can't do enough to get out of our hands. Dip. *grin*

Cats make the world a better place.
