A muscle on the inside of my left thigh that has been insanely tight and sore.

but yeah I've gotten some exercise in today and the past two days. More of the same, but less intense to accommodate the ache

Honchkrow does seem to get a decent amount of love, but my search didn't show any specifically suitable pinup style images either.

I definitely like the idea of themes.

Also I didn't draw anything yesterday after all. I spent all the time I would have done that instead learning the Russian alphabet, learning to type with a Russian keyboard and learning basic phrases because learning Russian is apparently a thing in my life now.

also if you draw everyone as nagas/lamias you don't have to worry about feet

Visible stitching or obvious fabric patterns will shoehorn the idea that something is plush. For something more subtle, bulkier limbs that flare out to flattened stumps also work. In "muscular" plush characters, you could always give a fuller form that makes the muscle definition look printed on.

EDIT: Oh yeah, missing mouths always works well too.

I drew a thing yesterday. I'll draw a couple of things today, including a plush to keep with the trend. :)

I don't feel like sharing anything yet since art is so interwoven with anxiety for me. But the most important thing is that I actually do it. I'm treating it as if I'm starting from nothing since, being totally honest, I hardly put any concerted effort into art before and only managed to discourage myself in the past.

I have an anatomy book and plenty of references that I intend to put to good use.

Yeah, tag. It's been about 10 years since I put work into art, so let's pick up the cause again.
