In how many parts should I divide my character for proper fluid motion?

G'day...

I am a furry who wants to animate his OC in a simple style. I've been drawing these stuff around three years.

I want to create a series of symbols in animate for each part of the body and hierarchize them with the bone tool...

I am going completely amateur but I want to build something mildly complete for making him move free and fluidly... Allowing me a good margin for the anticipations of movements.

The thing I am not sure about is in how many pieces should I decompose this fox? I dunno if making the shoulders and forearms in a single one or separate. The same for the side of the butt and femur.

This is my draft and could use some corrections before drawing it all (my bad, I'm better at drawing in traditional than in the drawing pad so I'm digitizing it once done)

I would be thankful for the feedback.

Are the proportions of my digitigrade accurate?

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53747848/

This is my first digitigrade attempt from 3 years ago, which I abandoned since it was incredibly difficult to do from certain angles.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/65642300/

And this is my first attempt after a long time, my main reference was the How to Draw Manga Furries by Madakan Histujirobo. I feel the left leg feels too narrow despite measuring and having roughly the same width. Some feedback may be helpful, please.

Some feedback on my hands and face may be beneficial, I struggled for that angle.

Draw-overs are okay.

Why would "Air India Express" be pronounced as "Air IndiER Express"?

I watched the second documentary (Air Crash Investigation, S26E09 Monsoon Approach (2026)) and could notice that every time the narrator Jonathan Aris (born in London) said the airline's name, he said "Air IndiER Express" while the actors and investigators did not.

I remembered the first documentary (Air Crash Confidential, S02E06 Pilot Fatigue (2012)) which I watched dubbed into Spanish and looked for it in English. Narrator Steven Makintosh (born in Cambridge) pronounced it most times this way, except for the first one, while the American expert did not.

What feature of the Language is this? Why would an R sound come out of nowhere?

I saw videos are not allowed, so I did as I could for presenting the material, please delete if that may supose any problem.

Will they delete my account again? What if the video selphie fails over and over again?

This is my second Facebook account. The first one where I published my furry drawings was deleted...

It all started this way, it asked me for a video selphie to confirm my identity in order to use Messenger against and it did not work. It asked me for it over and over again. One month later, they suspended and eliminated my account because I was supposedly a robot using a fake name. I'm a furry, my account will have my artistic name.

I haven't tried doing it because I've heard that may have accelerated the elimination of the old one, that I should wait some months and it would disappear.

Should I try? How can I fix this? Will I lose my account?

I need Facebook. It's the main place where Latin American furries sell their stuff. The old one had three years of drawings, they dropped my effort in the trash bin.

Who is the interpreter of this version of the National Amthem?

Good day.

https://reddit.com/link/1ud6ke4/video/05a87yz9hy8h1/player

A belarusian historian and animator uses this version of the National Anthem quite regularly, and I cannot figure out where it came from, or whether the beep frequency sounds were put by him as a parody, or if they come originally on the record. All I can notice is that it's moved and fast.

Here I joined some parts from some of his videos to give an excerpt, the icon is his, of course, I like his work.

I do not mean to offend anybody, just looking for the source.

Thank you so much. Hope visiting some day.

Is everything okay?

G'day. I'm a furry artist and wanted to change my style:

​

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/65408613/

​

That's not relevant here. I've been trying to memorize kanas, and grammatical particles; writing them by hand.

​

Firstly: Is 僕 pertinent or should I have used 俺? I want to make the drawing digital and transparent for allowing other users to have a version with their own fursona or OC, so in case of feminine furries, what pronunciation of 私 is better?

​

Secondly: is the onomatopoeia common? Or has Google lied to me? it correct to prolong it as if he's shouting? That's the vibe I want to give.

​

Third: is my stylized font legible? I have tried stylized fonts since I was learning Chinese years ago but they ended up way too much like on the style of those learning paper in which one repeats one character over and over again, but with texture and off proportions. Especially complex traditional Hanzi or Kanji with too much strokes.

I must admit that kana is way easier to stylize.

I forgot a marker after フスリン, whether が or を. Which one? Now that I notice the grammatical mistake, I must destroy the drawing...

Seeking for a series of civil aviation reports compilations written by the authorities

Good afternoon, I hope not being a nuissance or at the wrong place (if that's, please redirect me to the right place :3)

I like to reseearch about aviation and China is particular because they do not publish their aircraft accident reports (anywhere in the world, you access one page and get to see a PDF, everything written according to ICAO standards), yet some journal articles have graphs with data but do not always cite any source:

https://kknews.cc/n/ja42o9p.html

This one offers the graphs but does not cite

https://www.sohu.com/a/489117904_121123900

The ones that do cite something go by this series of books:

民用航空飞行事故汇编, published by the CAAC (中国民用航空局).

I know they're at least nine volumes, some of which are cited in some other books that are present at the University of Michigan:

https://www.google.com.co/books/edition/%E5%89%8D%E8%BD%A6%E4%B9%8B%E9%89%B4/0doxAAAAMAAJ?hl=es-419&gbpv=1&bsq=%E6%B0%91%E7%94%A8%E8%88%AA%E7%A9%BA%E9%A3%9E%E8%A1%8C%E4%BA%8B%E6%95%85%E6%B1%87%E7%BC%96&dq=%E6%B0%91%E7%94%A8%E8%88%AA%E7%A9%BA%E9%A3%9E%E8%A1%8C%E4%BA%8B%E6%95%85%E6%B1%87%E7%BC%96&printsec=frontcover

The thing is that I cannot seem to find any library or store having them, at least not online... Traveling to China just for some books would not make sense.

May you know where they may be available? Whether in physical or not.

Where do Chinese journalists get plane crashes materials graphs?

The first diagrams come from this article about China General Aviation Fligjht 7552, for which I could not find anything close to a final report:
https://www.toutiao.com/article/6833286042640974348/

The second ones come from this article about China Northwest Airlines Flight 2303, for which I found more "report-like" articles, but the ones from this page are nothing like one:

https://kknews.cc/n/jamme9y.html#google_vignette

They pretend having extracts from the CVRs and offer no citing to confirm it's real, they show these graphs from Gosh knows where and nobody cites anything. Then another news site copies the whole article without crediting the original... Tracing it is difficult

Anybody knows the sources of the images? Are there full physical texts about the crashes (the ones of Flight 7522 suggest thousands of pages or a compilation per year) that anyone could casually consult? Where are them?

I put text for publications but it won't appear in any of the three apps

Whenever I publish my drawings on Instagram (and automatically go to the other two), I put some text, which includes a description and the link of the drawing. However, once it's uploaded, the whole text disappears and I have to edit the publication on Instagram and Facebook, the other one won't allow it.

It's been almost a month since it started happening.

When I must exert strength, my peers feel nothing. Anybody familiar with that?

Hello, I'm 22M, 55kg, been wrestling for one year and have tried no-gi the last five months.

Whenever I must exert strength in any of both, it's not effective, whether armbar, rear naked ch*ke, or in the case of wrestling, trying to make someone lower their position whole controlling the back of the neck, going from single to double to make his base smaller while still advancing, etc...

As one of my coaches and some peers state: "you don't exert strength, I feel nothing... You like get tense and feel and shake. You got me but couldn't consolidate the techniques. (I did my best for translating it dorm Spanish)"

I dunno if it's understandable because I haven't deciphered what I'm doing wrong myself, anybody is familiar with this experience? What you did for overcoming it?

I have always struggled with cat faces

https://www.furaffinity.net/user/devlynlibervulp/

My style is characterized by huge eyes... But when I try putting the football ball shaped eyes for my Ocs, the proportions while looking at the face as a whole look weird.

I'm the case of the tiny blue one the eyebrows save the drawing from looking even more strange.

Have tried following som book tutorials, the Lackadaisy ones, taking closer sights to my cats IRL... But I can't seem to find a definitive structure that looks good, that makes the snout the right size and the right shape... And also even if I flatten the whole head's structure, the size of everything else doesn't work.

What could better adjust?

Is this table well made?

I tried compiling the transliteration and phonetic rules with colors in one piece of paper. A languages teacher friend of mine fromTaiwan says it's okay. But I want to be sure I didn't forget anything.

"n" and "l" are pink because they use both "u" and "ü" with or without the dots.

"j", "q", "x" and "ü" are red because they tend to go together without both dots over the use.

"b", "p", "m", "f", "o" and "ou" are orange because I understand it's not pronounced [bo] but rather [bwo].

"w/ -u" and "ei / -ei" are blue because I understand that 水 is rather [shuei] than [shui], as well as 回.

"y/ -i", "-e", "ai" and "an" are purple because they modify between them differently... 元 being rather [yuen], 咸 as well. And cause this e goes after these sounds of "ü" and "y/ -i".

Did I forget something? I know some sounds may need two colors at once and that's why I chose similar ones.

What are the products of frying cayenne pepper?

One week ago, I was doing this recipe for the fifth time:

https://youtube.com/shorts/95rpCmBZO0M?si=YAi3Bay3O8iGcw8C

One fries garlic and chili flakes / Cayenne pepper with olive oil on the pan before putting the tomatoes and the tuna.

I was about to put the tuna when I started coughing as heck... Opened the windows, drank water and continued the recipe. I thought for myself "silly me, I may have inhaled strongly being close "

But it turned out everybody in the department above me ended up coughing and leaving the building. Father arrived minutes after that and starts coughing just when opened the door, surprised to see me cooking as if nothing happened.

It seems this brand of pepper was more concentrated and was void sealed... the other ones I used before never had this effect, the pasta ended up much more spicy than other times as well.

What did I inhale?

My new Facebook account affronts heavy restrictions when it comes to sharing and sending requests

I had a Facebook account for posting my furry drawings, which, to save time, automatically uploaded them from Instagram. Almost three years gaining followers and getting to know friends...

Every Saturday I published in lots of groups. Suddenly it asked me to confirm my identity with a video selphie in order to use messenger... But I did several times and nothing happened. One day, out of nowhere, I t was suspended and then eliminated... No prior publication in the last days... Only banned. Three years of work on obliterated. Supposedly because I was using a fake name, which every hecking furry does, to use our characters' artistic names. So I'm not the only one.

Three attempts to create a New one, some of them suspended barely 30 seconds after being created.

Now the New one gets suspended way too easily, for barely publishing in six groups, for joining some, for sending requests to recover my friends.

I'm restricted, cannot send requests because it says they want to protect everybody from spam, and when I cross post in any of those groups, only the button for messaging me appears, which makes the publication useless. I must try sharing again.

In my previous account I had the option to share within up to ten groups at once, so I published a drawing in like 100 tiny groups every Saturday, now it's one at once and restricted with few...

I wanna reconstruct, but they aren't making things smooth. At least I recovered my most important friends and was allowed in most of my previous groups...

How should I proceed?

I think the final drawing is good, but it's not as expressive as I wished it to.

It's difficult for me to deform the face and arch the body (without the arms destroying the illusion of the Arch).

It's an usual phenomenon to have one of my drafts more elastic and expressive (yet underdeveloped and detail lacking) but then the final one ends up feeling kinda rigid. I mean, it's not bad, but my original vision was more cartoony.

If you find more deficiencies, do tell me, please.
