Why the 10ft, chest height picture actually makes sense - with pictures

I have been thinking about this a lot. I initially felt like this picture for the sketch line elongated me compared to candid pictures and, tbh, reality.

Like this is the 10ft, chest height pic:

And these are candids of me, which is pretty much how I see myself:

A bit short, wide and soft

But then there pictures like these:

Sorcery! I am suddenly longer and straighter!

I am the same weight on all of these, and hopefully still 5'4 (163cm). None are mirror pics. But I definitely don't look the same.

I think the 10ft & chest pic is actually kind of a mixture of these 2, which helps having a better understanding of your actual silhouette. I am still somewhat stuck with my actual ID but I have a better idea of what I am working with that just looking at pictures. What do you think?

Testing experimental methods

Thanks to the lovely heretics in this sub I've felt much freer to play around with Kibbe's ideas in a looser way and want to share my findings. Image one shows the results of the radical line extension experiment. I really love this one! I've been hard to type, stuck between SD and FN and just being a too tall SC. I do believe typing is more difficult at a higher weight but I think the purple lines might circumvent this challenge. Image one shows my experiments with SD, SC and FN lines. Image two is the wicked line drawing overlay in which I also widened the drawings to better fit my frame ( I wonder if that's proportionally sound--lmk if you think that changes th8ngs to much to be helpful) Image three is just plain old me if thats helpful. I feel like these experiments actually illustrate an argument for one of the 3 types Im looking at. Fellow mad scientists, what do you make of this data?

Is my line sketch correct?

Hello all.

I am currently doing the Games in POS (ang enjoying them!), but I am kind of stuck when drawing my personal line.

I can tell that my dominant is curve, but I feel like several secondaries could fit depending where I place the blue dots? And where I place them also depends of how accurately I did the red outline.

What do you guys think? Did I overdo the shoulder to armpit angle? Should the line be more straight between the shoulder point to the waist? And should the imaginary fabric be closer to the body?

Thanks!

A deep dive into Kibbe vs Kitchener and how they interact

I know this is more of a Kibbe sub but I still think this would be an interesting discussion to have here. Imo both systems have their place and their individual appeal will vary. I have my praise and criticisms for both systems but I’m only verified in Kitchener.

What I find most interesting is how these systems are conceptualized through the same framework (yin/yang and harmony-based styling) with the same influences, but often arrive at different conclusions. There is definitely some correlation but an equal amount of dissonance. The main reason is that, while body type and height will play into your Kitchener blend, these factors aren’t deterministic the way they are in Kibbe.

Here are my observations based on the celebrities verified in both systems:

- The vast majority of Kibbe Rs, TRs, and SDs are R dominant in Kitchener as well

- This is opposite from the Kibbe Ns, who are represented across every dominant essence (especially FNs)

- Most Kibbe gamines do have significant HS/gamine essence but it won’t necessarily be dominant

- There is a high amount of Kibbe Cs with significant C essence but there also some with little to none (I know a verified DC client with only 10% Kitchener C)

- Scale and height determine yin vs yang in Kibbe while in Kitchener it just shifts percentages - being 5’7 + will give you an extra 10% of Natural, Dramatic, or Angelic essence (since they are the elongating essences), but you can still have a small scale dominant essence while being tall

Did I screw this up? Also, some questions about posture

Hope y'all aren't sick of me yet because I'm not ready to put this damn journey to rest yet 😁

This was actually taken 10 feet away at chest height, which I've been skeptical of because it makes me look considerably more elongated than I am irl. However, I still haven't entirely ruled out curve + vertical as the fabric on the pants seems to be falling straight down (I deliberately chose a pair that wasn't clingy to show how fabric flows).

As for posture, I have significantly more disruption in my bust area when I stand with proper posture (shoulders back and everything), but it sounds like you're supposed to take the picture with more relaxed posture?

What is considered 'fussy' for SN? Are prints also included?

I think Kibbe specified in Metamorphosis that N family shouldn't wear tiny prints. In POS he says that SN shouldn't wear anything "fussy" - nothing for FNs. Are prints included?

Like is this tiny floral print too small/delicate for me? I am trying to get used to more flowy, width appropriate looks & thrifted this, but then once worn wondered about the print...

Isla Fischer as a regular person?

Where do you think she (or a woman with her visual presentation) would land if she was to DIY her own type with the book and the outline?

I'm asking cause I believe this particular visual presentation of her verified ID isn't talked about/acknowledged much and a person looking like this can easily be swayed to explore other things

Line Sketch Secondary Help

I am new to reddit, so please let me know if any of this is not allowed! I came on here after reading Power of Style, and I am struggling to place my secondary accommodation.

I believe my line is fairly straight, so I leaned towards vertical for my primary. Even though I am just barley 5'3, I can see how I've always accommodated vertical. However, I feel like all of the secondary accomodations are not quite right? I think the DC dots are probably the closest, but I feel like maybe there's width? So I'm not sure! I have a slight curve in the line at my hips, so I've considered SN and SC as well.

Anyway, any guidance on if I'm doing this right would be very helpful! I did the games in the book before the line drawing, and I found them immensely helpful. I have always had a very strong sense of personal style, so my goal is really to refine how I present my inner self to the world cohesively through my outer figure.

I added my dream board to the last slide just to show a little bit more about myself!

Some people have been interested on how weight changes affect your line sketch and I wanted to share mine now that I'm 12kg down

So I'm pretty sure now I'm most likely a TR, but looking at my heavier weight sketches that's not really easy to see.

1st is me at my heaviest weight, 2nd is ~5kg lighter+a proper fitting bra and last one is me today 12kg lighter than the first picture. It's so much easier to see my accomodations now vs then in my opinion and I'm not surprised why I was so confused before 😅
