Will the Anatomy section be a sister site/project or a subsection under the Handbook?

Hi Sidney,

I'll try to move topics that are less issues and more questions/discussions in here hehe.

I saw you had an Anatomy section under the explorer that redirected to another GitHub project.

May I ask your plans with this?
Like the title says, were you planning on making it a sister site or integrating it completely under the 3D Artist's Handbook? Or perhaps something else?

Hope you're doing well,
Cheers 🍻

P.S. I've done some work on my fork, mostly some proofreading stuff, I'll probably be making a pull request soon 👍.

I'm not sure if you already saw what I wrote under the README of the anatomy-for-artist handbook, but I now moved it to the wiki section where the 3D artist handbook links to.

In short, I will most definitely be keeping them separate as it's not only meant for 3D artists, but just as much for 2D / traditional artists as well.

The anatomy for artist wiki started out for me to learn about the structure of the human body. And I think that it succeeded in focusing only on the subset of muscles that are actually important for artist. But I want to make it more digestible and handy for character artists specifically, who think about anatomy very differently than a doctor might. Light taking things like bony landmarks into account or understanding how to overexaggerate parts of a character's anatomy without making it look unbelievable.

Then, at some point, one can also go into creature / monster anatomy (but that is something I don't know too much about currently).

The anatomy handbook is also supposed to be everything related to the body, so stuff like how to create and shape and layer haircuts, for example. This is also why I decided quite a bit back so separate the 3D artist's handbook and the anatomy handbook, as the 3D artist's handbook is a lot more about workflows, software features, techniques and facts while something like anatomy is not some strict ruleset one can follow.

I already have a local quartz instance setup for anatomy for artists.

Also, right around that time, the imgur collapse happened, but I thankfully was quick enough and managed to migrate all images to a local image folder, and many of them are now gone on the wiki
