Question: specific posing resource

[mekare]

I realise we already made a post with posing references, but for my current project I‘m after something very specific. What I‘d love and what I‘m sure must exist somewhere (And if it doesn’t why ever not?!) is a reference library for hurt/comfort poses. Senshistock on Deviantart has some useful poses for this genre but they aren‘t enough by a long shot, and some of them are too aesthetically stylized for my taste. The exercise websites like Line of Action usually only have one model, so aren‘t that useful.

Even an online photoalbum with multifandom screencaps from appropriate scenes would be very helpful. I did browse Tumblr today but haven‘t found anything like it. There are gifs and caps from various shows but it‘s not organized and horrible to navigate. Ugh.

So did you ever come across something similar? Or do you always make up poses on your own? Even if I didn‘t have something very specific in mind right now, I‘d love a reference library to just practice drawing two people close together and how that changes anatomy (e.g. if one leans against the other).

ETA: AHA! It seems all I was missing was the right search term. When I put 'whump' into Tumblr I found these:

Whumpgalore 'A collection of the best hurt / comfort moments on television.'

Tagged by fandom, also features a lot of gifs without the comfort part.

the-wandering-whumper Also tagged by fandom, also featuring asks/answers about medical effects of different whump scenarios

This is a good exmaple of the sort of stuff I was looking for

aceofwhump Very organized! You can sort by fandom or by trope - fantastic!


Most of these feature gifs, but I can easily take caps on my tablet to get a non-moving reference.
