I'm glad you like the idea. I'll draw it when I finish my SS, I'll probably draw Astro with her too. Probably hugging, because I really, really, really like drawing hugs. But I like drawing piggybacks the most, cos they're super cute.

I don't know how to draw people hugging each other. Im still learning how to draw I've only just mastered how to get body partitives (did i spell it right?) right.

Hey all,

Quick question for you Satus... would you mind if I printed your Gender Bender VS Uran so I can put it up at work? It would fit right in with the rest of the stuff I have up here...

To AstroBoy03: When I have trouble drawing two characters close together in situations like hugs, I draw mannequins to decide the proportions. It's easier to imagine the shapes in 3D if the characters are drawn as mannequins first. It especially helps with foreshortening.

If you have the money, you could buy a small mannequin to help you.

Or you could use a 3D program (I use MikuMikuDance) and load an already existing model to reference from various angles. There are also plenty of other online resources that offer 3D reference.

Hello Novacain! Sure, you can print it. I'm glad you enjoy it so much.
