I need help. My family is going through a really tough financial situation: my mom is working herself to exhaustion, my dad’s factory is about to close, and I want to go to university but I don’t know what I can work at while studying.

I studied at a technical school for electronics, but I barely learned anything practical. What jobs or activities would you recommend for a student like me to start earning money now? Any realistic advice helps, thanks.

Find an electrician and ask him if he'd like a gopher assistant while you learn the trade. Also selling cell phones is good starter job.

Pic related began as a highly stylized almost ancient Egyptian hawk symbol and was then made more non specific and mechanical looking in order to better reflect a more high performance aerospace flight direction that is well beyond simply emulating birds but still connects to that.

the vestiges of the earlier star shape in the lower version's overlapping delta shapes also easily suggest higher performance "flight" in those shapes and suggestion of motion- but aren't birds or airplanes either.

This or in Wine, hell I have been using PS CS6 extended X64 for over a decade, I tried CC but it's trash, it's slower, and more limited in plugins.

I think that's the best version to date, CS6 portable, usually clean.

emigre been bit so many times already that it feels normal when people are overt about biting it.
the transitional video stuff on world peace looked really good i thought, but that was less emigre and more just dumping AE effects on clips and dumping the dr bronners random text shit everywhere. I don't think sam did any of that shit though

Isn't that only if you pick a low quality? I also read something that JPEG are better for computer-made pictures while PNG are better for photos.

Sup, deadboard fags. I'm interested in learning more about the foundry side of typography creation and maybe cook some typeface if I'm commited for long enough. Not looking forward to do this professionally so I'm mostly down to checking options that support multiaxis variable types and programming
I've tried hard to like FontForge but that piece of shit is a struggle, so I'm looking for alternatives, Wangblows mostly as I don't use mac. That leaves Fontlab and FontCreator.
FontLab is the nobrainer overpriced basic bitch option so I'm putting it aside as I'm curious about the alternative. How's FontCreator? I barely see people discussing it that much, even though it got a mac version 2 years ago, but the licenses they have are not subs and have prices decent enough to considering not being a pirate. Any known foundries or creators using it?

General type software and typography discussion I guess.
FontForge, Birdfont, Fontra, FontCreator, FontLab, Glyphs, Glyphr Studio, Robofont, Type 3.2 and whatever else I'm missing

shouldn't have said 'dead end' as able to do anything useful on a computer was lucrative in the 2000s with a fairly low barrier of entry and actual competency. any retard could claim to be a "webmaster" or a web/graphic designer.

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

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.
>>
>>459690
have you ever considered suicide?
>>
>>459690
Bro/Sis, probably you won't be able to afford a living by only doing NSFW in the AI age.

However, AI restricted tags (restricted in AI gen sites) can get you a buck.

Also, focus on what it CAN'T do well or frequent yet, like lots of specific details, lots of different people, high definition.

And third, eat the capitalist reality cookie and accept that the most well payed tags will not be always the ones you like.
>I know the furries pay a lot of money for their fix. Maybe scat, futa and other niche stuff pays well too.
Research other artists doing specific stuff to learn more about prices.

About the loli/shota stuff: check the laws of your country. Make a moral, ethical and political choice if you will or will not go that path and if you do be aware that are a lot of people that will bother you and might even damage your reputation.

I won't get in any discussion of ethics or morality [those usually are long], but make this exercise:
1) If my family and friends discovered I'm drawing adult characters porn, what would be their reaction?
