Tried following the advice of adding movement lines to make a drawing feel more "alive" and it... Kind of works? I guess?Maybe i should try making something actually serious now
>>464391Where do i post it then. Didn't find another appropriate board
>>464390are you a cheap cartoonist? or a fucking artist?
>>464396>Maybe i should try making something actually serious nowprobably neither(?)
>>464392>>>/ic/
>>464397here i will give you a small but of advicenotice all the extra lines around the eyes. you dont need "movement wiggles" you need details, depth, volume. contour, thats what 'overdrawing' can begin to help you develop
This is the label design for Peter Stormare's vodka, what would you do differently ?
>>462889actually its an ok bottle shape. lose the wax. fucks withthe proportions. label is good awful, font is shit. go apothocary with annotations style til some other idea happens.
>>464122*god awful
>>462889Font is a tame Korova Milk bar. Doesnt meat it is bad but better question is why. Also if it is custom, why be lazy and make both Rs the same? We are hip and kool but just corpo enough to cut an paste an R.Who is stormare? The maker the flavor? Who is granskott? Also the maker?
>>462889This is what Russians drink the most after that: Russian Standard and Stoli.Designer bottles are fake and gay; just give me your extra money.
>>462889Not terrible, just generic. Makes me think of the canvaslop thread I saw on here the other day (>>463545), which I think is an apt term.Also, note that the M has a dangling nutsack.
I feel like I’ve wasted 15 years of my life, and my career has led me nowhere. At 35, I should be at my peak in terms of earnings and health, yet I’m a nobody. I keep ending up in shitty companies where I’m expected to do everything while getting paid less than gate keeper. For the past 10 years, I’ve designed websites, logos, mobile apps, print materials, books, t-shirt prints, labels, packaging, product photography, social media content, 3D designs, modeling, animation, and simulations. If I had focused on one thing from the start, I’d be an expert in a specific field by now and making decent money. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is this: if you are able to do anything that means you are good at nothing. When there are job listings for simple graphic work, they don’t want someone with 5+ years of experience. If they do want someone with 5 years of experience, they expect an expert in one particular niche. Today, no one even wants to spit in my direction. No one is looking for a 35-year-old guy who has done everything (but nothing specific) because they have 100 young, dynamic grads fresh out of college to choose from. The competition in the big city is just too strong. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working from home part-time, and somehow manage to pay the rent. The MS diagnosis broke me. Depression, no friends, far from family, always making excuses. If it weren’t for my wife earning well and help from my in-laws, I’d have nothing. It feels like everyone around me is doing fine, earning well, and building great careers - except me. I’m feeling down, I’m sick of this fucking city and its weather. I just needed to get this off my chest.
>>463610Sounds great since photography is dead too. Wish I could get a job that isn't Uber which I can't do because I can't afford a car.
>>459830>15 yearsoof ive been doing it for 8 and desu good results there's plenty of days where you feel like its a dead end and most days ... it is BUT like other anons are suggesting make your own work literally everyone has to these days
>>463772That's really not true. Most people just "go to work" and don't really do much and play WoW all day and then get paid. And the ones that don't just "go to work" and move bricks and shit and still get paid. Very little thought required.
>>459841why don't you make deals with the fae?
Hello /gd/ anonsI am sorry to find you in despair. I'm looking for artists and a trading card game I'm working on, and want to use people from here as much as possible.If there is anybody interested in work, I would be looking for things like>packaging designs>card frames>promotional material>logoI don't know how much these types of service would cost, but want to avoid using AI while using artists from here as much as possible. The art for the cards themselves I already have worked out for now using public domain traditional art, but if a kickstarter campaign is successful enough I intend on redoing the set 1 cards with custom art
How's GIMP 3.0?
>GIMP 3.0 with the flatpakd soi cal arts new logo of Wilbur >gtk3cant wait for the eventual en[spoiler]GTK4[/spoiler]ification, and whatever horrendous oversimplified Wilbur...
>>459970shit, like every version before it and every version yet to come
>>463295>its creators should be burned at stakeThey made a FOSS alternative to Photoshop without a budget. It's Adobe that deserves the vitriol.
Gimp can't do that, right ?
>>459970It gets the job done for free. That's all. I'm a retard; I use it sometimes when I need to, but with minor AI edits, I can do it without it
Sorry if this is not the correct board, but it seems the most fit one for the matter.my question is, how do you analize an style? how do you put it in a certain category?I often see patterns, maybe geometric or color pattern that gives a game, a picture or whatever a certain vibe.for example, I know this picture style is known as frutiger aero. I can see the glossy stuf, the transparencies... I lived through it back in the 00's.I could see these things, but didn't knew it was called frutiger aero.
since you immediately came crashing in with this as a subject, frutiger aero is not a real style of the time, it is a contemporary piece of nostalgiain general art is always derivative, all art is using other people's references (or referencing the world) and other people's styles, taking what you like and filling in your own ideas into them. this means that there are certain movements, certain things people like to copy, certain novel combinations of ideas that people then copy, and this is what is studied and made into meaning "styles"the style you're talking about is one that was mostly made through the novelty of being able to apply humanist character to user interface design; before then, it was impractical to give user interfaces glossy icons and borders because rendering those in real-time was not feasible. when technology started allowing it, people flocked into the new grounds and often sort of overdid itthis is also why flat UIs later overtook, mobile phones and laptops brought in screens with massively different scaling factors, meaning that you'd have to create a bunch of copies of all your nicely-rendered glossy UI. in comparison, vector graphics had become performant enough and solved this issue by design, at the cost of being usually very flat. that push was mostly started by the excellent Matias Duarte who did design for Android at the time, designing Holo design, which then kicked off Apple to do the same. the interesting thing is that where Holo went into a more industrial grotesk design, Apple decided to keep their humanist ideas, and that's what won out in the end (Matias then pivoting to Material Design which was a humanist rendition of Holo's ideas)right now we live in pretty exciting times in UI land actually, where computers have become powerful enough to do arbitrary non-rectangular layouts, and the grip of humanist design has started fading drastically

Let's hope that Larry Page ain't on the epstein files

My first pixel-art (scale 92 x 81 p), made in paint.Opinions?
did you trace it?
>>464047Better and more soul than 99.99999%
Good! I would reccomend finding some tips on getting the shading better. It might look bland, but you're on a good path
>>464047Looks nice, eyelashes could use a little work.Seems more of a thread for >>>/ic/ but this board can use all the traffic it can get...
Before you answer, no, I am NOT fishing for compliments. My friend made this for a thing, and I am looking for a second opinion outside of the gc.-Glory
i thought this was an image about milling and extruding.....so i guess for covertness and simplicity it gets a plus. but it needs a scale. will it be printed ? is it digital only? because everything on the edge is ridiculously small.
It could work if you'd get rid of the tiny things on the edges. Simply the cheese symbol on a black circle would be really good
what is the best alternative to Pinterest for designers?
are.na but the concept is far from pinterest
>>464365pinterest is the best unfortunately. i use binternet.canine.tools as a frontend for pinterest though so i dont have to deal with the annoying stuff
What is a good color
>>464284whoa. maybe (hopefully?) one day when I grow up Ill be just as rad as you>little rebel
>>448440Mod people are idiots
I like this one :)
>>448440Do you need money for a new keyboard? Yours is definitely broken by now
>>464354maybe you wanna switch over to tiktok if reading isn't really your thing?

You're allowed to name things decades later and lump them into one category
Sadly don't have more to go off but I would appreciate if anyone knew what this font is.

Do you charge $22k for logos?
>>464324sometimes
>sla and guaranteesit's a fucking svg what is there to guarantee
>>464335satisfaction of yo momma?
>>464324No.Most expensive commission I worked on was 40k, but that was a full branding design. 22k just for a logo is too much. Maaaaybe if they're working high corporate, like Pepsi logo I heard was worth millions.
>>464335This is what a terminally 1099'd brain thinks. Terms. Delivery. NDA. CYA. You fucking idiot.
AI really killed Graphic Design as a profession
>>463696only if you are bad at it.
>>463696AI is still a bit thick.
>>463696Maybe the shitty designers got put out to pasture, but I got more work than ever. AI did me a solid by getting rid of the shitty underpriced competition lol
>>464276Everyone know this
>>464329You clearly didn't.
