Can you make it as an online twitter NSFW artist anymore or has the time for that opportunity passed as well?
I'm a complete adult /beg/ and started picking up drawing just this year btw, and I want to know if this option will even exist 5 or 10 years from now

Given that I'm not out of work and doing business as usual, I say yes.
Good luck, have fun.

If you had two years to become a master artist or the world would explode, you would find a way to make it happen. You would seek out mentors, you would take art classes, you would constantly grill /ic/ for feedback, you would practice and study like a maniac. Given that fact, you should recognize how much you are underperforming and take it to the next level. You can approach your goals five times faster, maybe ten times faster, than you currently are.

as a /beg/ the most useful criitique is being told what you should stop doing. And people here will tell you to stop bad habits that nobody on twitter will tell you.

>Sidney Lumet has this WONDERFUL essay on the beauty of plaphogs. He says that you can film a plaphog getting gored by cock from any angle--he uses that phrase, "gored by cock"--and you will find that an unbelievable cascade of beauty is unleashed. This is all to say, Stan, that the art of picture-making of all kinds, even the making of films, is primarily the art of *capturing the plaphog*. Bernie Wrightson has this WONDERFUL illustration of a Chinese plaphog getting spitted by cock like a pig at a luau. Are you familiar with Bernie Wrightson's work, Stan?

Those are some good colors and textures... the pose is so dynamic too!!! Always a pleasure to see your work!!!

>evil version
Instead of being the kind-of prickly kid with a heart of gold, which is his canon version, the "evil" version is undoubtedly smarter due to being separated from the main cast years before canon and given top-of-the-line education and basically being his parents' last-ditch attempt at having one of their spawn become a doctor.

That and having everything he could ever want handed to him makes him snobbier and also a dick to people who he sees as intellectually "below" him.

In addition, being repetitively told that he will cure AIDS/retardation/down syndrome/etc. further feeds his complex in which he is an asshole to the people that his canon version otherwise respected/cherished/etc. Asshole version lacks any of the empathy, kindness, or self-awareness of his canon version and believes he is fully immune to consequences, and, due to some fuckery on his behalf, he ends up accelerating the events of canon/making shit worse for everyone else in general.

The stuff his evil version does that's redeemable is few and far-between, but I'd like to think he'd at least get a shot at redemption... somewhere.

Sorry if this isn't articulated too well... this is just all based off of some google document I wrote for shits and giggles, and I'm reassessing how EDGY is too edgy ;-;

Thanks! I've really gotten into Epic the Musical (Odyssey musical) and wanted to make my own version of Polites's design for animation since I hated how most people drew him. His character is usually recognized with a headband and glasses (even though they didn't exist back then). The animation is for a song that includes Polites and Odysseus as children so I needed to design both teen and adult versions.

However I was going back at designing the adult version and I decided to make some different design choices and drop the Eva style a little so now I'll need to edit the younger version to fit.

I decided to trade his glasses for some simple goggles that exist as a form of eye protection out on the seas, rather than prescription glasses. Made his hair much more managable for animation, also gave him gloves for spear chucking. Also now playing with his color pallet which is based off of a butterfly of his namesake, Polites sonora. Honestly I've developed him so much further from his musical counterpart that he might as well be my OC at this point.

>>7711561
I like this guy a lot he's got soul. Last sketch makes him look a little like Reigen. My suggestion for you is to try pushing his expressions further :3

Nobody ITT who isn't brainrotted by /pol/ beyond belief has an issue with drawing/painting/sculpting beautiful mesoamerican/indian/persian/whatever artwork. I like Persian and Gallic artwork for instance, and art of the Helleno-Buddhist kingdoms (see pic) but you don't see me opening a thread with how people should "decolonize" their art diet. It's very faggy and left-wing. Also, yes, there is a strong element of postcolonial butthurt from both feather and dot indians in this thread. I personally do not find mesoamerican artwork very appealing with the exception of the Olmec heads (I'd like to paint one actually) and it doesn't make you superior if you do.

>tl;dr if you're trying to change minds and open a dialogue, post good art and shut the fuck up. Beauty speaks for itself. Leave the faggy colonial butthurt politics at the door.

>Do women like big noses?
This is purely speculation but small noses are conventionally perceived as more cute and feminine, most anime art styles push it to the extreme by making the nose almost invisible. Since these types of people often reject conventional beauty as part of their ideology that might explain why they tend to draw prominent noses.
>>
>>7711930
no, it likely started with loish and similar artists on deviantart, then when tumblr was made girls liked those artists then interpreted darker shading on the nose into being red, and then became an amalgamation of itself after tumblr artists only started referencing other tumblr artists and became more red and prominent and used in cartoons too

>>7712405
anime was not popular amongst the early tumblr crowd other than some magical girl anime at least not initially, only western cartoons, it got more popular later on
>>
>>7711930
I've been drawing a lot of men lately (because I draw too many women) and Guys have more characteristically unique noses. Seeing how they're women they may be used to drawing men and when they switched to draw women maybe they enjoyed drawing the unique noses or don't realize that cute has a lot to do with proportions, so they draw these monstrosities and it caught on... We need some nerd to make a shitty video essay about the history.

I think my theory here is kind of both. Hyperfocus on a few fundies while trying to extract emotion and appeal from things that turn me on. It's a theory that just kind of boreders on schizo territory, I like things that straddle that line. But anyway just throwing it out would this be closer to what I should be shooting for in the average study, obviously less cartoony than this, but still something a little past gesture but not quite worked out.
