Were butt-pirates involved with the occult in any meaningful capacity? Since a fair number of them were naval officers, and this was during the Enlightenment, it's safe to ass-ume that at least some were members of secret societies. Actual pirate flags are awesome and terrifying looking.

I have a Wacom tablet but I can't draw for shit.
I can't look at the screen and draw at the same time.

Should I just pick a tablet with a screen, even if it's more expensive?

Drawing monitors exist. I got a cheap Wacom years and years ago, used, because I have the same problem.
Been drawing on a paper for decades, can't do without watching.
>>
>>455873
Unless you need to use Photoshop,
get an ipad. Good drawing apps and the apple pencil is great. It's seriously a superior drawing experience.

I've used various wacoms professionally for man years. It's really a tool for work.
>>
>>455873
Pick display tablet, drawing tablet is a meme unless you get the bigger one with a bigger desk, but even then you'll have trouble in drawing curves or perspective. Wacom, huion, and xp pen all have cheap display tablet for under $400, I havent tried brand like veikk or other newcomer yet but I think they're more cheaper than the big three.
If you can afford more, get samsung tablet or ipad. Samsung is cheaper than ipad but you need to get csp for that, try to get s8 at least, considering s7 is quite lagging on csp. Ipad is cool, it has procreate, but it expensive as fuck.

Idk if you could ever draw like this, but I do know that art must be physical.
There is no such thing as digital art.

Just use the appropriate typeface that mimics the kind of computer display/closed captioning/OCR typeface you want and add it to the image prior to adding the streaks and other stuff, paying attention to not distort those areas so much that they become illegible.

Picrel is a slightly condensed Atari typeface filtered in Glitchlab

"Color Fringing" is that blue/pink glow that is coming off of the objects in that picture.

I use a free program called Irfanview to do this.

Once you load your image:

Image > Effects > Effects Browser > Chromatic Aberration Correction

As far as the VHS scratches on the image, that looks like a specific filter you'd find on snapchat or something.

This is the best major business logo in existence. If you disagree, you are wrong:

-NO reddit meme rotational symmetry
-forward slant suggests forward motion but not to the point of being obnoxious
-non-obvious association with product or service offered (pizza) but at the same time everyone knows exactly what it is
-simple, primary color scheme

Who said anything wasn't "organic"?

Why are you arguing against things that were never said?

>like McDonald's...a pair of golden arches has no natural connection to that name or what it means. Taco Bell was named for its founder Glen Bell so a bell logo works but has nothing to do with tacos or even food.

Neither of those statements is incorrect, the word "organic" was never used, and clearly doesnt mean what you think it does.

Yoo wtf is jazz? Every song sounds exactly the same. There are exactly two expressions jazz is capable of: generic loud uptempo, and generic softer downtempo. That's it. Every jazz performance expresses the exact same thing and exact same vibe over and over again?
With such a limited range of expression, what's the point of listening to this stuff anyway? It's all so repetitive

OPN covers are generally all great. Garden of Delete is probably the one that does the least for me on an its own, but conceptually it does fit with the whole "moody 80s millennial teenager who is into the occult but also computers" vibe.

The cover of the first HTDA release has always been one of my favourites in terms of things Trent Reznor was involved in, despite the project itself being extremely forgettable. It's got this "early 2010s artsy photoshop collage posted on tumblr" thing going on which perhaps dates it a bit, but i still enjoy it

Surely it's not that difficult to do automatically, there was a software for the Mac OS in the 1990s that I used that was called Morph and you could create transitions between two images and specify points and stuff. I dunno what people use now.

Hey, OP here. I finally figured out how you do it. I knew it had to be a thing some software has that I just don't know about. It's literally Photoshop. Photoshop can tween frames on the fly. I ran into by accident while doing something else.
Do Timeline > Convert to Frame Animation > Tween frames

cont.
although in the case of the chest image, it looks like there's one or two in-between frames but same method otherwise

I was wondering if anyone has seen this sort of art style before. This style is exclusively used in storefront signage at liquor stores, sandwich shops, eateries, etc. Growing up in San Francisco, CA the 90's, these signs had always stood out and fascinated me for their silly anthropomorphic nature, realistic detail and similar paining style. Have you seen these anywhere else in the United States, or around global community for that matter? Where did the inspiration for this uniform style (painting technique, eyes, subject matter) originate?

What the heck happened in 2010?
>>
>>455654
One reason a lot of those may appear very similar is that sign companies will create a generic sign design/shape that allows for simple modifications to cover a wider variety of business/ product types...chalk and dry erase menu board signage does this a lot, I used to help out sometimes at a place that made these with a silkscreen cartoon chef cutout holding a chalkboard, who would be easily made into specific ethic chefs by painting different flag colors on his neckercheif or given different custom expressions, view directions, gender, etc. by blocking out the facial features in the basic keyline print silkscreen and adding different ones in a separate step.

Literally "realistic detail"
>>
>>457115
Another reason the ones used for restaurants and adjacent convenience food retailers look so generic with is that if you search for "happy (food item) clip art" you will be inundated with cheap royalty free images, and places like that tend to be perfectly fine with that...budget places especially don't want to look too fancy with super slick, expensive graphics...even McDonald's "Mayor Mccheese" is sort of amateurish for a multi-gorillion dollar company.
