kinda wish i had a non primate body just so i could ust it for hand references when drawing non primates aojbslkvjel
@daylight Having arachnodactyly/EDS means I have to make a conscious effort to *not* use my body as a reference
Otherwise everyone I draw goes Yaoi Proportions real fast
@pastelbat i googled this, and i think my friend (not you a different friend) might have it lol
@daylight Is yr friend tall & skinny? It generally goes along with a "Marfanoid build", which is, yeah basically "looking hella Yaoi" in terms of elongated body proportions, being hyperflexible, etc.
Doesn't always, but if it's genetic, ppl tend to have a grab-bag of the skeletal characteristics.
@pastelbat theyre like 6 foot 4
Medical
It's a trait that tends to go in common with a range of genetic conditions, so if they've access re insurance/etc, getting tested for EDS/Marfan's Syndrome/etc is something yr friend might wanna look into. Not least cuz some have risky heart stuff.
(I don't wanna be "ahh scary!!"- I just had to get all this stuff tested as an adult myself, cuz no one thought to test for any til I was 23; The heart stuff was just an ECG also, which are relatively common/quick/easy)
