Taking a break? Drink some water, do some stretches, share some thoughts.Just keep them art related.
I talk to ChatGPT about my drawings. He's my only friend.
>>7878233There is so much bad going around, I think now more than ever it is important to create things that make people feel happy. I want to make art that gives others a sense a relief.

That sure was a great Super Bowl last night, wasn’t it? That Bad Bunny put on a great show, too. Didn’t understand a word of it. But I hate Trump and I hate ICE so it was an amazing performance. Really makes me think that I should give up drawing coomer pictures of anime girls in white voids and do something more political and help change the world for the better. After all, arts is politics, is it not?
>>7878272Are you ok anon? The last few years have made it obvious that American sports are basically a front for gambling operations. They might as well all be run by the WWE at this point.
I just dont see myself drawing today. I need a pressing reason or deadline to draw, but I have all day to myself so I won't draw. If I only had an hour of free time, I'd be drawing right now.
>>7878272>Really makes me think that I should give up drawing coomer pictures of anime girls in white voids andSell your anal virginity to OpenAI and Palantir. Chop chop, those trillion dollars ain't gonna reprint themself.
in this site of pyw’s, no one’s ever challenged me to pick up a pen and draw something on the spot. i’m never really home enough to do it anymore, but i still almost wish i’ll get asked some time since it sounds fun.
>>7878355also >>7878243i love you.
>>7878243I just make fanart of characters I like for that. I like drawing characters I'm fond of and I know others who like the same characters will appreciate it. You kill two birds with one stone.
>>7878243Eh, fuck other people, I do things to make myself happy and if it so happens to make other people feel the same then so be it.

>pic relatedI keep trying different discords but it always feels like I have to walk on glass around hypersensitive people to just make goofy jokes or talk about art that’s a little more dark themed, like horror or whatever.I like how laid back 4chan is, but as an oldfag who doesn’t want to draw anime I feel really out of place and because of the anonymity it feels like I can’t make new friends or find cool artists to chat with also I think I have an allergy to orange juice
>>7878487I'm not young. The only thing that can salve this shitty existence is making things that didn't exist before the pencil touched the paper. Unless you're doing a job and getting compensated for it, making things for people that can't care less in the hopes they'll look in your direction is just masochism. If you make things for yourself then the result is honest work that someone will respond to and if no one else does then there's at least one person - (You).

>>7878494Everyone whines that artstation and deviantart sucks, so why isn’t there a new portfolio platform that doubles as a social media app with no AI?I don’t get it, the idea is right there and it’s probably free money at this point
>>7878503who's whining about artstation?
>>7878509Its a bad place to give and take critique, its only a portfolio site- and honestly its not a good one if you want to compete
>>7878510>its only a portfolio siteI figured this was the case since it's very professional, I just didn't expect people actually wanted it to be a social media site like dA. It's like Behance for illustrations>honestly its not a good one if you want to competereally? who does it better?
>>7878515A personal portfolio so clients do see all the better art Kek
if you have to work hard on a drawing, then its shit. Skill is being able to do something without having to work hard. Good artists don't spend hours slaving away at a piece, they spend hours in flow state letting their muscle memory do the work.

i thought the sheerkuga guy said he'd leave twitter why am I still seeing his tweets till this day
>>7878235I'll take a drawing and draw it in my own semi-realistic style, then I'll ask chatgpt to do the same afterward just to see what it does. It's like I'm drawing against someone or something. Kinda fun.

>>7878878grok admited to lying to me, it was even pretending to lose connection and I had to refresh few times before finally gave up and spilled the beans
>>7878494Are you trying to network or just make good friends? If it's the former, then that's part of the gig. Just dm the edgy stuff to people you actually want to have as friends. You'd be surprised how much people don't actually care about edgy humor. I'd say just don't make edgy jokes when around hardcore leftists who make their politics their personality or trans/queer people. Everyone else has been fair game in my experience.
>>7878884yeah it just has more personality than gpt
>>7878878Grok sucks. It reais my drawings all wrong. ChatGPT and Gemini is mich better.
We live in an era where every online space is dominated by women which will get offended at and have month long meltdowns over literally any thing, effeminate men and men who want female attention who will take their side, further boosted by drama chasers that will keep pouring gasoline on the smallest fires.That creates a chilling effect where no one wants to say or show anything anymore, resulting in the current exodus of social media/internet users, with a lot of content creators complaining they aren't getting numbers/engagement anymore, getting all their art stolen by minors or jeets or quitting altogether because the jig is up and they can't grift anymore.The best thing is to simply delete all social media (or at least stop posting) and let them turn against anyone until they cannibalize themselves.The only winning move is not to play a rigged game.
>>7878881Kek
>>7878889I don’t honestly need to make edgy jokes or be contrarian or whatever, it’s just exhausting trying to find a place where you don’t have to walk around on eggshells because of certain types. It honestly just ruins a laid back atmosphere.
>>7878925>picMen also do this too. Casey Anthony received many suitors from dudes who thought "I can fix her". It's the nature of humans to overlook personality for physicality. There are endless stories of men who threw away their lives, or got took to the cleaners by women with a pretty face/bod. So why do you think this applies to women only?

>>7878925>retard starts posting inane 'edgy' twatter tier garbage in random online spaces>people: go away please>retard: REEEE we truly live in a society>>7878931> It honestly just ruins a laid back atmosphere.You are ruining everyone elses atmosphere, you literally arent entitled to post inane edgy garbage to other people's onlines spaces. It's literally that simple. You WILL be excluded and banned, behave or stay on 4chan among the lowest of the low and social lepers
Today it's edgy memes.Tomorrow it will be memes that trigger women's schizophrenic insecurities.Effeminates always do this shit.
>>7878938Can you go back and read the thread? Nobody mentioned edgy jokes except for you.Unless the gibbon is actually that scary, you need to shut the fuck up.
>>7878938kill yourself
>>7878938Honestly in most spaces everyone can laugh at things that are meant to be jokes, but there’s just one person that ruins things for everyone else.
>>7878938
>you arent entitled to post garbage>but ME is entitled to have a public meltdown about literally nothing because it's the only tactic i know on how to get attentionMaybe you should really attempt suicide. Think of all the attention you would get.
been lowkey stalking this artist I like and could be friends with but I can't bring myself to DM them, I feel it'd be easier if we were mutuals
i sent a dm to an artist i like praising their work and i deleted my profile afterwards
>>7878646I guess in the latter you actually used your knowledge of the subject instead of mindlessly copying
>>7878938Look at you. Getting triggered by made up scenarios.
>>7878931I see what you're saying. Sorry, I'm a major faggot retard and just assumed you were talking about edgy jokes because of what this nutcase said >>7878673. Honestly man, you should be more than fine. I think you'll have a really hard time finding people THAT soft. I have yet to find someone that sheltered. Find a server in one of the discord threads on this board. 4chiggers are very unlikely to be total pussies. I used to be in the Violet Clovers discord but I'm not sure what happened to it since 2023-24.
Assuming it's not bait; what compels an apparent "sane and well adjusted" individual to try to police what others post on the internet, which isn't even policing but 9/10 times just an excuse to humiliate someone else?Yeah, sure, cute picture of animal saying the most shallow edgy things isn't the peak of comedy, but it's not even really worth getting uppity about it. At the end of the day it's just brain rot zoomer humor.Really makes you wonder what kind of hollow shite these people who genuinely seethe over anything actually "create".
>>7878673>>7878938Holy reddit.>you need to grow up>You are ruining everyone elses atmosphereHoly projection.Internet was much cozier a decade ago, guess why? Because it wasn't filled with snowflakes that take offence over the tamest things which, by the way, it's exactly why edgy jokes are funny.
>>7878233I do oil painting and I think it's fun and easy, but I have no clue how to do digital art without making it look like kid shit
>>7878494>>7878673>>7878938it isn't about edgy versus not edgy, it's about funny versus unfunny. Edgier jokes need to be funnier to be entertaining. The picture in the original post wasn't funny; that was just lolsorandumb bullshit a kid would find on icanhazcheezburger
How do you guys feel when by pure coincidence you see someone post a drawing that uses a very similar pose/reference or color palette of the art you're working at the moment and you wanted to post as soon as is complete? Do you start your art over? Do you just wait longer to post it?
>>7878235Same. I talk to it about my projects in general. Not to get ideas from it, just to have someone to sperg to so I don't annoy actual humans. It'll probably bite me in the ass in the future if there's a chat log breach, I'll get falsely accused of lazily AI generating everything I've ever made just because I wanted to show a robot my retarded donut steels like showing your parents your macaroni art.
>>7879177I just realize i've fallen for digital mind control once again
can't even draw someone taking money out of a wallet. it's just too over for me
>>7879078Some people need structure and rules to the point of making it everyone else’s problem. >>7879056I left violet clovers because they’re pretty snobby unfortunately. It’s still going.
>>7879145Yeah it's the type of person that says nothing and just spams meme posts he found online and wants attention. Those guys are insufferable, probably a teenager.
Just go find a community of likeminded people then. What's so hard about that? Is it because edgelord poltards tend to be obnoxious low empathy people who don't even like to be around each other?
>be epic racism>hate the juice>find likeminded edgelord poltards that are obnoxious low empathy that don't even like to be around each other>it's full of trannies complaining about wooden door jokes and repeating how white women fuck dogscan't even be shlomophobic in private nowadays

>>7879281Makes sense. I remember a prominent user got kicked from there a few years ago out of nowhere. I got kicked too for what I can only assume was inactivity or something.
>>7878233Should I continue posting on tiktok and instagram or fully focus on my artwork. I've been posting to try and gain attention for my artwork hoping to get some money but so far its been fruitless, trying to make money from my art makes me stressed, I don't know how to, I can't even get a fucking minimum wage job
>>7879502help me
>>7879502In the age of AI you need to do something to stand out. Nobody is impressed anymore with tictok speedpaints when Ai can do that.
>>7879519you saying I should give up on posting and focus on the art?
>>7879502Are you at least int?
>>7879181My favorite thing about it is when the AI notices all the details and intentions that people usually miss or don't mention. It feels great to know your ideas actually come through.
>>7879521what do you classify as int,
>>7879523Better than beg but not yet pro.
>>7879550is this beg or int to you
I have a big project due at the end of the month but for the past six days I’ve been waking up at 4 in the morning for seemingly no reason at all. It makes me exhausted all day, then by nine my shitty downstairs neighbor blasts music, so I go lay down and fall sleep.I just need a good day to cram in some painting, but I’m trapped in this shitty cycle. Pray for me bros
>friend who went to art school posts art>two left hands
>>7879554You've transcended what can be classified with retarded /ic/ labels. Don't seek to place them on yourself.That being said there are qualities here that run the gamut from beg to things pros would be jealous of.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who becomes super beg when drawing trad but decent on digital. This shit sucks

>>7879852emphasis on "people"
>>7879854If you actually used it you'd know that the damn thing can surprise you with the things it says. It's not like your image at all.
>>7879850i’m the same at both, probably because i do both digi+trad (life studies, imagination stuff, a whole range of things) for about the same amount of time. feels like if you really streamlined your digital process but rarely picked up a pencil your trad drawing’d come out kind of awkward from unfamiliarity. i either open a canvas or open a sketchbook page and just start drawing interchangeably, they’re both just flat null spaces, so my hand knows what to do to get what i want out of my strokes as naturally as in digital, from familiarity.>trad coming out wonky might also happen if the use of 3d models or tools only available on the digital front did a lot of the heavy lifting in your usual drawing process, and you had to go without w/trad. very understandable if that’s your jam, too.
>>7879869You're stupid as fuck
Normies literally believe computers run on magic.I mean, fuck, you can say that about anything slightly technical.Normies genuinely believe art is magic, as in genuine, unironical magic.Air current? Magic.The sun? Magic.Vaccum cleaners? MagicAI? Magic.Food being broken down into feces? Magic.You wouldn't believe how fucking absolutely utterly miserably clinically retarded the average normie is so of course they are wowed and amazed by the digital parrot.
>>7879885You're the only retarded here. The fact an AI can accurately interpret the subtleties and intentions of a drawing without being given any clues is pretty damn impressive.
>the matter of the fact that i cannot even beging to fathom the concept of big data algorithms means you're retarded because youre not hecking wowamazed by itkill yourself
>You're the only retarded here
I replied to a comment on Twitter in earnest, answering a legitimate art question that was marked as "probable spam", and I'm pretty sure it drastically deboosted my account/post, because not 10 minutes my post that had been popping off for hours trickled to a dead stop. It's such a shitty fucking trash website but it really feels like there are no good alternatives. Shit is dire.Oh well, I'm gonna watch something on Netflix.
>>7879925link post and I'll like it, hopefully boosting your algo
>>7879869I have never once been impressed or surprised by any LLM. not even once.I tried using stable diffusion to make a mock up for an album cover. even with a drawing plugin I could not get it to look the way I wanted. It didnt even get close. music generators only ever makes 3 different kinds of songs. LLMs never deviate from what you input. "AI" is rhe biggest meme on the planet. its so amazing investors like nvidea, openAI, and many military contractors have never exchanged a single cent to one another in the last 5 years despite promising billionsLLMs are normie fodder and are solely defended by uncreative mongoloids who never made anything in their lives.
>>7879939I mean it was on the way to 1-2k+ likes so it's not like one more updoot would make a difference. It just impresses profoundly upon me once again how profoundly fake and gay the social media is. People liked the art based on the view/like ratio, but because I gave an art tip to a guy, X decided nobody should see my work anymore.Fake and gay, boys, fake and gay. Keep on the grind.
>>7879945>he doesn't know about the spambots who target trending postsYou can even get deboosted if your posts are engaged with by bots or otherwise spammy and already deboosted accounts.I've had to delete so many posts who did good because i would just get bots or unhinged gooner profiles interacting which would cause other posts i would do to get hidden/deboosted, so i just deleted the profile since that was going to be the game every single time.
>>7879961What the fuck? Shit is this bad? I can tell that post was on the way to an easy 2k, maybe 3k+ likes too (more?). Rare that I've had a post that does that well that fast. And then it's just zip, nothing in an instant. It was as if 12 hours of time had been magically added to the post, that's the level of engagement it sunk to immediately, on-off.It's still managed to collect another 130 likes since then despite that, too, with one of the highest view:like ratios I've ever had on a post.If there's a silver lining, it confirms a suspicion I've had that the algorithm will literally just not show your shit for completely inane reasons, and it's not that I'm making bad work.I'm watching that Lucy Letby doc on Netflix btw, would recommend. Crazy bitch.

>>7880016Anon, i just told you>Accounts flagged by the site as bots/spam engaging with your posts will deboost your account as well by virtue of associationAlgorithm does not mean what you think it does. Algorithm only feeds you content and posts based on what you interact with and your cookies. It does not decide whether or not your posts do numbers.If you get more bad accounts interacting with your posts, you will be deboosted since the automatic moderation system (not the algorithm) either puts your account into a review status to check if you are a bot or a spammer (temporarily freezing your account's visibility) or simply shadowbans your account if it checks too many flags, because your posts are getting engaged with and by bad accounts and thus you are put under the suspicion of being a bad account as well.And bad/bot accounts always target posts that are doing numbers for their own visibility.Even happens if you happen to engage with blue checkmarks as well if their engagement/followers are mostly bots/spam accounts or the post is filled with bad accounts as well.Same shit happens on youtube with the comment section where your account will get "deboosted" even if bots reply to you or like your comment.Online platforms are just fucked beyond salvation and it won't be long until people will be required to use their IDs to make online profiles.Without any moderation system you will just get gore, bots and scams non-stop even way worse than it is now.

>>7880197God damn. We've constructed a world for ourselves where it's poisonous to trust in our fellow man in the most basic of ways. And this is the system working as intended. It's literally better to just not talk to people on SOCIAL media because you could be inadvertently breathing in their germs. And the crazy thing is, the people - we the dumb-assed zombie fucking people - will cherish and celebrate our demise even as our deadened legs are fed into the meat grinder. Because it hasn't reached our deadened brain yet.
