okay phew, you got me a little worried man; actually you've just helped me out quite a bit. I'd slowly been becoming convinced people were just able to do this shit without reference at all as insane as that would be.

pic related is what I did with basically 0 reference, although I:
- still had a small degree of reference imprinted on my mind from the other day.
- luckily had a good idea of what I wanted for the head immediately.
- more or less did only the things I knew how to do.


I accidentally used my default old method for the chest instead of the newer forward chest deployment method i'd learned. Also I couldn't fix the hand nor the body without undoing it all because the program I used doesn't allow erasing, only undo (which is how i like it for lineart).

This here is the finished, fixed up version where I completely replaced the body with the correct method, and fixed things up with reference where necessary, especially the hands where I did it based off of photos of my own hands. Lessons reinforced:
- If something looks fundamentally off, redo it and fix it properly. Do not leave it broken as is - even if it is annoying to replace.
- Don't be hasty, stick around to bugfix.
- Lots of bugfixing.
- Don't sleep until you're done.
