>I made an upscale of the pokemon red sprite. >and a copypasta enjoy: There's just this "coolness" inherent in gen 1 that was never quite touched upon. The anime paints Red as "Ash" who, despite literally one event of saving his pikachu on bike, literally never grows as a person. Other than he is pretty much the most extroverted person ever. Red is silent....all of RBY is just one INTROVERT dismantling Team Rocket while dominating entirely through his actions. Contrast this with BLUE. Blue is pretty much every incel/mad lad/ douchebag you've ever known. He never rises to the occasion and blames everybody but himself. While he isn't perfect, it's fairly obvious, that BLUE/GARY has it all compared to RED. He has a sister, a renowned grandfather and...no parents? He wants to prove everything and is ultimately jealous you still have your mother, but no father? Why is this never expanded upon?Oh yeah childrens game. sorry. I just felt like BLUE's attitude vs RED's teached you a lot about how some people are so insecure and that its infinitely better to be a person who speaks by action. That's what POCKET MONSTERS is to me. I always treasured the manga's style, but red is silent. Which is a difficult manga to make.Down to Gold/Silver, Red's weight is felt through his silence, after being defeated and becoming champion, he just leaves.POKEMON is about growing up and learning to deal with the way the world works, and even if you must ultimately battle your lesser animal friends to death, you can still make moral decisions. Maybe after becoming champion, Red just releases his pokemon back into the wild or something, fully encompassing a deeper lesson. Even though you manage to always be ONE GYM BEHIND GARY, the only theory I have is this:Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>7137241it's clearly just ran through deepL, if you're actually translating it yours is probably better
>>7137520yeah your explanations make way more sense, thanks
>>7137520Amazing stuff, please keep going.
>>7136933Doesnt work
>>7138254i like how the general understanding of tech is going down so people are surprised when PDF behaves as... well as default normal PDF file should.Anyway pic related anon. Pretty detailed. To look up how to do frill stuff like headers or footers or numbering headlines is easily googable.
Post the first piece of art you currently have vs your most recent. Let's see how far we've come. still beg so go easyleft: jan 2023, first genuine attempt at artright: march 2024
>>7138287errmmm...?? but people said I'm finally out of beg territory...
>>7125617Nice. Love the colours and texture. Very cozy. Bloggu?>>7126911Definite improvement. I really like the tone your recent stuff conveys. Very moody. I think a horror webcomic with the same vibe would really draw a lot of people in. Bloggu?>>7132186Keep at it brosif>>7132595>10-30 minutesGod I'm jealous. Max soul. Very appealing colours, lines and shapes. Bloggu?>>7137072Good stuff man. You're definitely getting there! Very appealing despite a few shortcomings. Most notably is the proportions of her left (the one on the right of the image) forearm. Looks very thin and short. But like I said man you're well on your way!
>>7138359bro shits rly good. You improved alot, anatomy, posing, line weight and your drawings have alot more energy to them. I dunno about what other anons think but to me you've left beg territory a while back.The only thing i'd say is diversify what u draw. I get u like anime girl with big booba, but maybe draw one with smaller bewbs, slimmer frame, men, clothed etc. But yh godspeed to u anon
>>7125416>>7138359You're not /beg/ like the other nigger said, but before the thread dies, tell me what resources, who did you learn from, who did you try to emulate, what was your angle in this? I started in 2019 but am far from the right
>>7138359>>7138483>>7138485its called envy, been stuck doing boxes while you get to enjoy fine artmight as well embrace AI if its going nowhere
10 years, 1028 pages inked (not including single illustrations like pic related).Those are my stats up until my first professional manga was published.To anons who want to become a pro author, keep this in mind. Maybe others could do it faster, but it's always going to takes hundreds and hundreds of pages, thousands of hours of work, to gain the skill to go pro, most of which will be uncompensated. I don't say this to discourage you — quite the opposite, I'm saying this because if you're seeing this it means you could probably be working harder. Please don't slack off, draw draw draw! It CAN be done, but you won't get there if you aren't willing to make sacrifices.
>>7135219>>7135276I think only something like 30% of the work I've made is porn though. It's not like I worked from year 1 through 10 just to become a porno artist. I had and still have other goals. Going pro in eromanga was just a short term goal I didn't even have until around 2022 (when I realized it might be a real possibility). Until then I didn't even intend to ever try to work in manga, I was just going to try and get something going self-publishing, but I realized I don't have the stomach for the "publishing" part of that.>also, the trend is dying out fast, same as pink eiga to filmThere's no reason at all this route to serialization would die out, and it was never a "trend" to begin with. It's a completely natural consequence of the surrounding industry. Lots of amateurs want to make drawing their living -> they make works for comiket -> eventually get good enough making doujin works that they can get picked up by an eromanga publisher -> eventually get good enough producing manga as a pro that they can try for a serialization. It's been like this for many decades and no part of this has changed in recent years, so I highly doubt that it'll stop being a viable path in the foreseeable future.
>>7129020I've been writing a story for the past 3 years about occult concepts and real world ties, illuminati bloodlines, black sun, etc I know I'm not skilled enough to write a novel that people would ever bother reading and there are just so many genius authors that it would never be worth the time, but with a comic at least I can educate the youth about the reality of the world and redpill them about the grand deception of modern day Babylon through easier visualization methods.It's kind of a seinen/shonen without all the highschool fagshitI'll create a base layer of my characters with AI and specific themes and elementsIn a few years when I have hopefully enough expendable capital I plan to hire a mangaka for the first volume. Any insights on how I would find solid artists, and what a decent rate is per page ? Do they tolerate criticism and if I'm not satisfied with certain things ? Do I need to speak Japanese ? Do I need to meet them in person and go to Japan or the US or wherever ?
>>7129020That's amazing, it's good to see to see anons actually make it.
>>7129164>>7129169>>7130557>>7135219Keep seething you fucking NIGGER crabs, you will never make it and should just kill yourselves>>7129199This, crabs are so fucking pathetic, holy shit>>7129020Good for you, OP. I've only been drawing for a couple of years but I'm playing with the thought of making my own manga. Any tips for a new manga artist? I have no idea how mangakas decide their paneling. Right now I'm just doing quick copies of manga panels that I like, just to get a feel for it
>>7138472>Any tips for a new manga artist?Bring your questions over to /mmg/. Several anons there are friendly and happy to help anons new to manga/comic making.

>>7111391Fucking clean anon
>>7136684This is often the case, but if you get to know the group they often announce which model they booked beforehand and you can just plan to attend when it is a model you want.In my experience the breakdown is:>70% flabby to obese they/thems, covered in tattoos>15% saggy older women and older men >10% young fit women, and young fit men>5% no model, instructor, host, or random novice fills in, clothed. These are free sessions, or you're usually refunded.
>>7137407I believe you can fix that with practice. Just start your day with a warmup with some lines. My lines used to look like shit as well and I'm a driver so my arms are always stressed out.
Oh fuck yeah I love figure drawing.
>>7137448Model here, on my way to reppin’ that saggy 10%, tho my local roster is mostly women in the 20-40 age bracket, spanning the range of chubby, fit, skinnyfat, even anorexic. The one consistent male model is an older gay gentleman with a potbelly and a better degree of flexibility than most of us girls. It is surprisingly difficult to get men to undress for art.
I got a positive response so here's the first thread for studying Figure Drawing for All It's Worth by Andrew Loomis. Here's a basic schedule for the first chapter, but feel free to ignore it and work at your own pace. A schedule for the rest of the book will be discussed later.Start by reading the first 32 pages. Don't worry about copying the drawings yet. Pay attention to the basic proportions pages. When you're done, got to page 38.Pages 38-49: 2 weeks. Take your time learning the mannequin. Try drawing it in various poses. Pages 50-56: 1 weekThen spend 1 week going back and studying the pages that were skipped.Don't just copy! Try redrawing Loomis' drawings from memory after your initial copy, and take note of what you got wrong. Apply what you've learned to photo reference and try inventing figures from imagination.The book:https://files.catbox.moe/d2501d.pdfAnd here's some refs:https://files.catbox.moe/7246sw.zipGood luck!
>>7137643Looking real nice, gonna have to try more on my own memory copies to keep up!
>>7137643Nice! I'm similarly having some issues with being consistent with the torso and pelvis sizes, which is why I plan to stick around in this part for a bit longer.
if i dont post this weekend it's cuz im doing frazetta copies
>>7138091A man of taste
>>7137956I have this issue as well, I’d never looked through loomis’s books but the radial plates for the hips is so much better for my than the underwear shape a bunch of people preach.
At what point should someone post their sketches or art shitposts on social media for the world to see? pic related.
>>7137379>>7137381It actually matters and people will see it Imagine sharing your ugly art on the internet, people will laugh at you and laugh how terrible it is. It will destroy your self esteem.
>>7137382100 years from now you wont exist and the people who saw it will be erased. Do you still care?
>>7137382Holy ego, Batman!
>>7137382It doesn't, they won't, and it won't. You're really vain. People OTI don't flame noobs for being noobs, since everyone has to start somewhere.
>>7138142this gave me the courage to pick up a crayon thanks anon
I fight so world accept beautiful appearance of darkness. When near monster, do not allow it to be a monster, but not hurt it more than needed, and then love it. For it is not a monster but the source of true love...
The death itself, yes it must help master how to kill when necessary... but, why, it can love everything, like no one can. Maybe for it knows how it - to not exist... Please learn how to be kind and soft.Pic made by me. Thank you.
I need not hurt, I must not hurt... for if I start, I will never stop... Please learn how to be kind and soft to other, but bee not too way good, do not hurt darkness in this way...Picture made by me. Thank you.

What exactly makes JJK character designs so boring, simplistic and generic in comparison to most other shounen?
>>7137435Majority of the fanbase is horny 20 year old women
>>7137465And 14-16 yo black zoomers
Dropped this after 14 episodes. It's average at best, not "PEAK FICTION" like so many zoomers claim even with the good animation. Why should I care about muh sakuga when I don't give a shit about the characters doing it or the story?
>>7135756Considering that people pick it up for the character design (mainly Gojo) and even imitate characters, I have to disagree.It matches the setting, it’s a school so obviously the students are going to look the same. The teachers look different.
>>7135756It's a fujoshit bait for the most part.
