An FYI to anyone with a CGPeers account. If you need access to it, log in now. They enabled email MFA and the verification codes aren't arriving. Hundreds of people flooded their IRC for support and the mods couldn't handle the volume so they have disabled it temporarily. If your account is associated with a Yahoo or Hotmail account, you should change it or you may lose access in the future. Just click the yellow update email button after you log in.

>>7442430Nevermind, I assume it's the thing regarding scams? I honestly have no idea, you could ask in the IRC. Very weird.
>>7442435>>7442438Yeah, I thought that's what it was going to talk about, but it just shows that yellow message for some reason. You would think if they wanted people to know they did something wrong, they wouldn't be so vague about it.

Why aren't you working on your dream of working at Studio Trigger, anon?
>>7442433>Isn't it a requirement to know Japanese?Plenty of western animators working in anime said on interviews that they use DeepL, they only know basic anime terms like genga and douga.The anime industry is growing exponentially and there's not enough animators in Japan to keep up with the demand, most Japanese animators quit in the first years to boot so they're outsourcing to foreign animators.Sometimes the Production Assistant know some English but most foreign animators only speak Mandarim, Korean, Hindi, Spanish...P.As don't even care if the foreigners can animate at all, only if they can draw in an anime style.>Picrel is relevant and an eye opener

>>7404291I've never drawn in my life. Well, that's not entirely accurate. I drew until the first year of middle school but stopped when my work was made fun of. Fair enough I suppose, it was shit. Anyways, background information aside, I recently took up miniatures painting. The experience has been so fucking wonderful and freeing for me. I'm now extremely interested in painting but I don't really know what I'd be getting myself into. Is it possible to paint pictures without drawing lines? I feel like that's such a dumb question but eh. This is not my lane. I think I have residual apprehensions about drawing. Maybe that's why I caught onto painting like its some sort of out. Can someone help an overthinking retard on the basics here?
>>7442549Yes, many painters dont use lines. I wouldnt say it’s easier or harder, though.
>>7442556Thank you. I greatly appreciate the insight.
>>7442549>>7442556capturing a form with loose brush stroke is deceptively difficult.Knowing how to draw well is helpful, because you'll understand the 'shapes' of what your painting. You can learn how to 'draw' using paint, but its a lot to bite off - learning with pencil is easier as you can focus on the shapes without trying worrying about colour / texture at the same time.That being said, if you want to paint just go for it.

Are there any artists that get a bad rep that you like?For me, it's Rebecca Sugar. I just really like her artstyle.
>>7434205Calarts is usually referred to as Steven Universe-que artstyle more than literal Californian Art school
>>7441771then they're using it wrong. john k coined the term 'calarts style' and he was referring to poor imitations of disney feature film styles. he literally knew sugar from his blog (altohugh that is a narrowly missed horror story if you know anything about john k)
>>7442381huh, i found the quote.>We met Rebecca Sugar, an animation student with crazy talent and I will link to her site later to make all the rest of you young cartoonist buggers sick with envy.Why all of a sudden are all the girls the best cartoonists?? Maybe because all the guys are now drawing in that faggy Cal Arts flat phony ass Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network style.

Anyone have any news on the animation industry? Is 60% of the workforce still unemployed?
AI animation is here and if a company needs better quality, they can just outsource a cheap pinoy for $2/hour instead of paying (You). It's been over for a while, but it's about to be more obvious.
>>7435889The animation industry has been dying for like over a decade now so, just as usual, maybe slightly worse. Studio execs hate animation in the west, always have, it was only ever a means to promote toys.
>>7435942Other industries like medical animation, business, marketing, boring shit like that.I do know a guy that make animation for a big 3D nsfw animator and indie V-tubers so There's that path too.He makes 6 figures from animating porn so not bad at all.
>>7437694I really hate thickheaded suits who think an entire medium of the arts is "only good for selling children's toys" or "people standing around telling manatee jokes for emotionally dead wageslaves who're more than likely doomscrolling during it." and think it has no artistic merit whatsoever. I would line every single one of those motherfuckers up against the wall if I come to power.
>>7442552It's not like it would become good if the CEOs cared about it. The problem goes deeper into subversion of artstyle territory. Maybe animators who learned from working in anime can make something good, but since (((they))) are waging a war on anime it's not likely.
At least i got the gore part right
