You need to have a more consistent visual identity. The problem is a lack of vision I guess.

Notes:
-The various outlines around the "trap" look iffy and how completely different it looks from the Jesus element is jarring.
-The bottom text is not really aligned in any good manner. It's interestingly placed but it has no real impact. If it completed the circular shape created by the the positioning of the "Trap Jesus" it'd be cooler looking
-the ancient egypt background is useless here and doesn't add anything to the ideas introduced by any of the text. If aqualantis is a cool place that is water themed then why is there a fucking pyramid here?
-the space ship idea is out of left field and is better left out or implied in some other symbolic/esoteric way
-the car looks like shit
-the Poseidon? on the left there looks incredibly bad.

I had a better idea for this. I'm no expert mind you, I'm just a guy with too much free time.

lmaoooo

but I'm still stuck at creating curved edges for isometric. is there any simplified tutorial for that or the perfect example of it?

what's the name of this design? how does one achieve the composition and the colors in illustrator? is it even in illustrator since it's made in early 1900s.

I count at least 15 defects in that section alone. The issue is consistency, you must be consistent in your technique or every element looks like garbage.

For example you can use a hard outline against gradient blocks to preserve your hard corners, that's valid, but if you do that you have to do it everywhere and not mesh other gradients.
If you mesh gradients and lose your hard internal edges, you have to loose them more or less everywhere, the shadow under the chin is meshed but the one above the lip is not, so both look like trash.

If your image has one point shadow (this one does), you can't then back-shaddow to achieve a gradient. So in this image the nostril shadow is consistent with the one point shadowing of the chin and the image overall; but the backs hadow from behind the nose seems to come from nowhere and be cast in no drection. Shadows are always cast, they are not the "color" of the skin area.

And it may seem like I'm being picky; but that's what this style and design is, that's what separates an artists work from AIslop, it's the consistency of technique. There is no right or wrong way to vector, but there are styles, and AI generates civually so just uses a total slop of styles, it just uses the best visual match, it doesn't know how to interpret images the "wrong" way so as to preserve the overall style of a work.

I make this point often, to clients, in defence of hand drawn work of many styles. Mixed technique is a dead give away of AI rendering and it looks both sloppy and generates progressively weaker assets. When you accept these errors, you accept a cascade of errors, and AI just eats it's own stylistic errors over and over until you get the classic degenerate art form we all associate with globohomo.

I'm hardly a master of vector art, but that's the underlying reason it should be respected and why it is used in virtually all commercial contexts

So im new to the board, and ill cut to the point, I've been trying to grow as a nsfw artists, i started a little bit before ai started. Sometimes I don't feel motivated to draw, and i accept requests from ppl to expand, and I don't really care what I draw, as long as I can take it as a challenge, with a limit of drawing rape, gore, ect. But I've accepted drawing futa, trap, and loli, but I've been feeling like drawing loli might be a arrow to the knee in my reputation, the worst part is that it was the most popular illustration i did by the amount of likes.

I know that it's fictional character and there are a lot of popular nsfw artists who just draw stuff like that on the side and just never get shit for it. What is your opinion on this guys
>>
You should go to the /ic board. This is for design, typography, layout etc.
>>
>>459690
AI can only copy someones style to a mediocre degree at best. You can still be better if you continue to evolve as an artist and refine your craft, maybe even use AI in limited doses to get through some backgrounds etc. I wouldn't give up but there is a need to adapt to the new market. I think you should start with understanding your target customer base and work backwards. Personally I wouldn't be so eager that I jump into doing loli shit just to make a buck lol to turn this into a proper income you gotta take your time boy and get known. Or if you like to live dangerously you can pull a shadman and ride the controversy.
>>
shadbase pull lol
>>
Map = pedophile
Loli = child pornography
Just don't do it for your own sake. If you're debating it, you probably think it's wrong. Nobody's forcing you to do it and nsfw artists still earn a lot either way.

Super disheartening to see this. Any designer could have done an illustration, any number of local artists could have created a piece for this event. It's a seminal event that marks the reopening of Detroit’s Michigan central. Truly monumental moment for Detroit, highlighted by the crazy opening concert directed by Eminem and it wasn't worth getting a person to do the poster? Very sad.

This is one of those moments in the history of ai that I will look back on with genuine disgust.

A soulful event with a soulless AI facade.

search google images for similar photos with cracks and broken pieces etc, once you find a few use yandex to get more, use the most realistic high-quality ones, with similar lightning and then copy paste it on top of your pic and blend it on photoshop there's tons of tutorials on yt, or just ask someone at /wsr/ to do a quick job

Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become.

There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.

Guys i've just made an account on Upwork and getting my first client is way harder than i though it'd be. I can make really good YouTube Thumbnail, Book Covers, and other Graphic Design related stuff.
But selling it while competing with other freelancers on Upwork who have done way more jobs than me is really challenging.
Also on reddit with my (very first) new account i can't connect with other people to alteast promote my work.

Do you guys have any advice for me? I really need money, i've been unemployed for a year now.

First always make sure to use an online grammar tool like: https://quillbot.com/grammar-check

Also you sound desperate, you get hired by being confident, consistent, reliable and by helping others, joining communities and making connections, 4chan is the opposite of that.

Your thumbnails are too generic and outdated, just do what everyone else does and study/copy everything from these channels: MrBeast, Sidemen, RyanTrahan, Veritasium, Johnny Harris and MarkRober
>https://thumbnails101.com/inspiration

Once you have better work, you need a strategy and start marketing yourself, since you probably are clueless about that, just copy what other are doing, here's a basic example of what you should have in different formats, short for social media and large for emails etc. example https://sharetext.io/9fd0b3c1

0- A professional selfie
1- A short sentence about you
2- Link to previous works with social proof of how you solved creative problems with the results
3- Your services or the packages you offer
4- Deliverables and timeline

How can I fulfill my FLIR fetish? Asking here instead of /r/ because they couldnt answer this. I have a fetish for FLIR images plus women or stuff I find hot, but I like the additional layer. How can I make pics like this? AI can do it but not commercial AI accepts material that\s explicit or even lightly suggestive, defeating the point. Do I do this in photoshop? Do I use AI?

This is so specific that i'm willing to believe this is not a joke.
What is this, how did you acquire such a fetish?
I'm truly confused.
>>
>>460863
There are relatively affordable handheld FLIR cameras on aliexpress (40-100$), photoshop can do some decent gradients but it wont actually be a 1:1 of what actual thermal imaging looks like. You can get the cam and just do stills of whatever you want.

How would you apply a glitch effect like this to text and images?

Glitch effects like this are (and I am trying to achieve) seemingly random, asymmetrical, etc. Is there particularly techniques or tools to do something like this, or is it just a pain in the ass "do each bit one by one" sort of deal?

Ultimately I don't want something as extreme as this, something much more minor (just for a single line of text really) so my first thought as a retard is to just go in to paint and shift a few lines of pixels left or right
>>
Displacement maps. Also if you can ask here, you can use google to get a much more refined answer by just searching "glitch effect how to in (whatever program)"

Im assuming youre a zoomer and dont know google exists, in which case, die
>>
>>462551
There's different types, the best ones are made for posters or titles from scratch by experimenting with typography and even programming or drawings, example:
https://vimeo.com/118998266

The ones you posted are kinda generic, if you want to learn just download premade from psdkeys or creativemarket and dissect them either on photoshop or aftereffects, for Ae you can stack all crazy effects and animate them pretty easily.
