Is it true that furry art is where the money is?
Not even with porn exclusively, these people seem to love paying for commissions, especially the ones with fursonas

furry does seem to be the end all joker card for a lot of criticism niche fetish art gets. Furries can get away with a lot more because there are no humans involved. Those moral rules about if the character is of age, or consenting or whatever parallels to society seem to all fall apart when you apply it to an obviously fictional dog woman taking dick, and the person saying it ends up looking like a bigger weirdo than the one drawing it.

>The only people that boasted were outsiders. nobody goes out of there way to announce that.
This is actually false, a quick google search showed plenty of furfags on r/furry boasting about it a few years ago so it's a mix of outsiders noticing a pattern and furfags acting like richfags.

Damn, Cobbeli has risen the ranks and totally mogged King in every measure. It's tragic that King had every opportunity given to him to make her his gf and grow with her to be the true King of DAD. But now he's steakless and irrelevant, while Cobbeli is on her way to marry a chad like Choob and become the legendary power couple known as Choobbeli.

King finally gets the poetic justice he deserves.

If you can't convey meaning in art through your own style, you are doomed to be a copyist instead. Real artists put themselves into their works and their vision shines through despite flaws. It's better to be remembered for your own style than be a forgettable copyist.

who cares about this. thats all just window dressing. the important thing is what you want to do with your art and your style. what do you want to create? whats your goal?
>>
in order to find your style, you need to have a very strong sense of what you like and who you are as a person. With that comes a very strong idea of the kind of things you want to create. An organic style is just an extension of yourself. When you draw in a way that you really think is fucking cool and enjoy, that's your style. It gets refined as you continue to live your life and increase in skill. Style isn't some mystery, it's just that most people who want to start developing their style stopped forgetting how to create things that they really enjoy. That's all it is.

I agree but you can have 2 styles, 1 is artistic and the other 1 is commercial, but only if you're a pro.
Want to make money? Copy whatever comic artist is popular right now, so Dan Mora in Capeshit, Gege and Fujimoto in Manga, Jang Sung-Rak in Webtoon, readers will eat it up.

You're asking for a step-by-step guide to cover at least three years of intensive study from zero to professional. Maybe you legitimately don't know, but that's an insane ask. That's not even accounting for the fact that there are infinite ways to get there based on how you learn best.

The best I can suggest is find a university or altelier whose students are outputting the kind of work you'd like to do and look up how they structure their courses and get the syllabus for each course. That'll give you a week-by-week guide to follow although you might want to go slower since you won't always have direct feedback.

pixel art is definitely a lot slower than other methods. i measure my progress in kilobytes of data added. i did about 22 tonight after not sleeping and staying up all night.

i finished the medbay, started working on the hibernation chambers, added the ground attack beam cannons, and finished retrofitting deck 4 to my newer standards.

He's saying its a retarded way to measure how much work you've done
Especially in pixel art
You could potentially add tons of data by just making the background a repeating coloured pattern - it would be easy to add, but add nothing of worth to the image and yet increase the size of the image

I was a gamedev a few years ago - I would often do game Jams and get a game out in a weekend
But even comparing a game to another isn't good comparison - a project in my opinion is only really done once it's out to the public and can be enjoyed, you make keep working on it after but then it's a case of adding to it until you're happy or bored

i know exactly what he means, you don't have to spell it out for me. if you have an easier way to measure progress that's more accurate to the work being done, let me know.

Hey gringos.

Are you drawing yet, or are you still wasting time blaming your lack of talent on artists from the developing world?

And you know what should embarrass you even more? You have access to documentation, tutorials in your own language, and the best tools at your fingertips, yet you blame others for your lack of talent and attribute it all to "Asian genes."

Think about it.

11 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.

>>7819228
Absolutely fucking not. Let me just say tablets will not magically make you an artist. They can only amplify what you already have. If you are new, then I would suggest spending the money you would spend on a tablet on art supplies and paper. Get into different media and try things. Just draw. Learn what you like. Explore subjects and ideas on paper. Later on when you feel more confident get yourself a tablet. But DO NOT get a tablet right away.
>>
I use pen and paper a lot, have also used screenless wacom tablets since I was 14. I'm 31 now. I bought a Wacom 14" screen-tablet this week. I'm really blown away by how nice it is so far. I honestly wish I had bought it years earlier. It's EXTREMELY nice to have the mix of traditional and digital feeling. I recommend it strongly. Plus they're so cheap in comparison to before when you had to buy a Cintiq to get the experience.
>>
>>7819228
it depends, if it makes you draw more probably.

imo pen and paper has the best "feel" but you can get close by putting a piece of paper over your screenless tablet (this wears down the nib quicker but whatever, also if you do this it's better to find a nice quality paper) or buy buying certain protectors for a screen tablet. But imo screen tablets feel slippery as shit instead of only half slippery like pen tablet (screenless) and hurt my neck because I'm looking down instead of at my monitor

wait until after christmas because companies like wacom are jewish and bump the prices up around this time of year

also DO NOT get the fucking smallest size get a medium, trust me it's worth the extra 40 bucks. the jump from medium to large doesn't matter as much
>>7819271
The big thing about the small sizes is you're basically drawing 95% from your wrist instead of with your shoulder and arm, I think it stunts you and also gives you pain/arthritis/you get tired much more easily so you draw less.
>>
>>7819228
pen and paper is as direct as you can get.

a tablet is like several layers removed between your mind and whats drawn. It takes a lot of getting used to.

Use a thinner brush and be cleaner with it to avoid the linearting phase changing too much in quality from the sketch. I've found that usually if I can use the same brush as sketching to be cleaner somehow (making it thinner or just using a simple sketch brush like a millipen) then it goes smoother.

It's possible to push pigment for years and never amount to anything and then one day you find something that clicks and all those years suddenly pay off.

>>
>>7814831
No it just looks like you found a safe ledge to camp out on where you can get "good enough" results everytime. Well, it's time to suck for a bit again. Start challenging yourself, expand your studies into topics you don't know and are uncomfortable with. It'll hurt a little that you'll be trying things that WILL turn out worse than your current drawings, but you're working new art muscles and will be better off for it.
