>>7223775>they've been using AI fucking everywhere since about 2020 and will chew your ass through the gutter if you don'tWhy would they need artists then? >but this is the type of company to hound and stalk their employees for like five years at least after they go off the system.So what? What are they going to do, hire the mob to whack ya? You might as well name and shame them.
>>7223820>Why would they need artists then?Because AI can't do revisions, can't stay on model and can't prepare files for print. AI legit can't do shit other than let "idea guys" make even more schizo moodboards and take away even more freedom and authority from the people who actually know what makes shit look good be it graphic designers or artists. It's the favourite tool of project managers who got their job through nepotism.
I swear what's with the AI spam if you check on /3/ they also seem be active when the Cris nigga bumpers are
>also again fuck off with these spam threads
>>7223775>>7223782You might have better luck in the indie gaming industry?Some small time companies might still not use AI and have a bit more freedom in creative jobsPay is prob less though.

just how, it literally makes 0 sense. There are hundreds of artists on his level and are almost all around 100k followers, but this faggot who draws extremely rough sketches that are colored and completely unremarkable gets to have half a million followers.
>>7223319Perhaps that should serve as an example. Studies are good and beneficial, but you'll likely never become the artist you want to be if every drawing session is just you immersing yourself in a studyhole or rough sketching session, with no "this is the kind of thing I want to draw, drawn to completion" pieces.

>>7223518That's really nice anon. If you add two simple circle nipps and a few details in that ruffled collar, (and just that, nothing else) it will be a really hot little art-piece by its own merit.

Damn so many new drawings.And I was busy with building a new PC but now I can finally go back to drawing myself.
It's starting in a few days and the event lasts the whole of July. Are you joining in this year?
>>7223353Finished a mass attack yesterday and still working on >>7218875I am drawing/painting every day yes but I tend to be pretty slow so my main thing this year is to speed up a bit but still get some quality/learning from each peice.
>>7223353Fuck no. I've got a full time job. If I can get three to four attacks per week I'm happy
>>7223771i like it a lot!
You do have characters that people you attack can show their gratitude to by returning an attack, dont you anon? It would be really selfish if you only attack and never give the chance to defend.

If you could travel back in time, what would you tell your younger self, in terms of art advice? Post your work while you're at it.
>>7221767Incredibly based post
The reason you dislike your work is because you have a vision of what you want it to be, not what's right in front of you. Don't let your vision of what you wanted to make blind you to what you made; the people who see your art only see the latter, and they get on just fine.
>>7220610Pander harder

>>7207826First time making art with multiple characters, what can I improve for next time?
thoughts about Slay The Princess and its art/artstyle?the game was basically drawn/made by a single guy, 1000s of drawings put together into an interesting VN, fully voice acted, I really liked it, and liked the simple yet unique approach, but I've never seen any thread about this particular titlethe drawings are more like sketches but it feels like it just works
>>7222374>Artist never learned to flip the canvasdiginigger memeYou think every artist was putting a mirror to his pictures like an autist for the past 3983 years of portraiture before the first digital tablet dropped?
>>7222357It definitely works because you aren't looking at each image on its own for an extended period of time, it's part of a larger set of images that are needed to understand the whole thing. It doesn't matter that a few of the pictures look bad as long as all of them together make sense. Pointing out that one of them sucks would be equivalent to pulling up one shitty panel out of a thousand in a manga, or a wonky frame in a 24 min animation. On top of the fact that it's done solely by one guy makes the mistakes excusable. tldr The art's main job is to convey the story, not look pretty, and it gets the job done in that regard.
>>7222357The artist is a landwhale feminist that create woke webcomics and woke indie games so I'll never like her stuff.

I've been procrastinating on my comic for two fucking weeks. If I don't finish a page tonite I will kill myself. That's the challenge I've set.
>>7223613lol that was me to myself last night about today. Well it was more like a couple days not working but I still felt guilty...but the page I'm working on today is going well so I get to live!
>>7223500Yeah I bet theyre digusted by making more money
>>7223613I also have been procrastinating more than i should, but the good thing it's that i spring back right at it, i was going too slow trying to do the full pages with took me some time to finish, but now i'm just going on doing the background lineart and i have done 6 pages in 2 days, and i'm finally about to finish the stairs scene, wich was the last one that needed so much precision, from now on i just need to do rubble, more rubble, and you might not believe this, but more rubbleAlso some puddles
>>7223613>>7223819>didn't read the "i'm kill myself" part>post that pictureI'm sorry anon, i forgot to say in my post that you shouldn't push yourself to fully finish your pages, instead just go doing some full steps first, that why i post that picture
Post boggu links. X/Twitter, Instagram, Patreon.
>>7223413Nta but sincerely the level of dumb politicization in socials is starting to annoy me. I thought only a few people in fucking 2024 was actually retarded enough to glomp down entire ideologies and use unironically stuff like male gaze and patriarchy, but god damn. A good majority of artist are self declared communists ready to tone down any of the infinity of atrocities committed by commie regimes because the right is always the bad guys (nb nazis came out of the german socialist party)I believed naively that one and almost half century later artists, so self doubting, wouldn't had embraced this hard something so fucking stupid without any question or at least were wise enough to call themselves out of propaganda after seeing so clearly in any history info that every single fucker screaming slogans is either a manipulative psycho or a fucking retard, but christ how much I was wrong.Jesus fuck the whole "most people in the world just mimicks sounds and expressions, their heads are fucking empty" was real. Most people really don't care, they just want to feel in the right, point at the bad guy and avoid any ambiguity.
>>7160780do you have characters/biases? could I bribe retweets off you?
>>7223442I'm getting kind of tired of how every social media is just people arguing now. I don't like posting on instagram nor tiktok for this reason. It feels like 6 out of 10 instagram reels I get is rage or engagement bait or a discourse invitation despite regularly tapping not interested every time I get a reel like that
>>7223442there are unironically plenty in the art community that have not accomplished anything and thus turn to art. there are the same people clinging to japanese culture because they despise their culture so much. those people only see the advertisement of communism and never read marx's books. they disavow all of the 20th century happenings brought along by "towards to victory." and somehow many of them are more prude then religious people. Anon, the one meme people really get triggered by more then being called a normie (which is usually older people anyway), is being called an 'NPC.' Why? Because it's true. More true than anything they try to cling to.
>>7223506Dunno really didn't see anything lately except the Palestine thing>>7223637>Why? Because it's true. More true than anything they try to cling toIt's something I genuinely thought was a comical exaggeration, but yes apparently not only is true but also common. And I find it the single most horrifying thing of current day, more than immigrants manipulated into substituting all the blue collar occupation of a country, more than government controlling every instance of your transactions, more than fucking everything, because it means all this internet power and vocal mass is aimed at literally the wrong target and infinitely refraining ego chanbers make it impossible to move on any real target.What the fuck man. This is literally highschool people joining a political ideology without being mature enough to understand all over again. Nothing fucking changes, history really fucking repeat itself- but it's just because people is fucking stupid, uncaring and lazy, what the fuckK this topic is way too articulated, ranted enough for now
