I think I've reached a point where my 2D skills if set to the fast style can draw this in 30 minutes.Been thinking this looks pretty good for a VN.
>>8063878thats a 2 minute drawing

Cris?

Anyone using it?
>>8064213don't worry, there are FAR more now that opus 5.5 came out. Much worse than I thought it was
>>8064226>what happens when a bunch of retards that can't make anything gets their hands on software that can copy and paste and make them feel like they made somethingBoy, the future sure is great huh, NOT
>>8064226that's not even accounting for the latest grift that influencers are doing. All influencers seem to be releasing vibe coded slop for their respective audiences that will pay for the slop. For artists it means, software alternatives, plugins, extensions, etc.
>>8064226gooner search params
Oh my. Is the developer in this room here with us? Your vibe coded slop sucks and you should feel bad
Here's my first digital drawing. How'd I do? I've always been a traditional artist and transitioning to digital has been rough. Granted I'm using the shittiest equipment known to man but still. I hope to improve so that I can one day publish my own graphic novel series.
Traditional skills carry over to digital. Going from this, I don't think you're a very good traditional artist either. Study your fundies, draw more, much more, in either medium. And post in /beg/ next time instead of making your own thread.

>>8066171>uneven texture that catches pencil and nibsoh yeah that's infuriating. Been dealing with that a bit with my most recent sketchbook
Some paper was created to burn.

Is catbox just down or is it ded ded?
Post pixel artwork. No AI. OC prefered. I made this one for my fellow game devs at /vg/agdg
>>8061753the right eye socket looks a bit too deep, looks like she has a bruise. otherwise great job
>>8061776Thank you. Best of luck with your studies :>>>8062385You're right. Thank you for pointing it out, ill fix it.
Admittedly I've been dabbling in pixel art for a while, yet I don't feel like I've learned enough anatomy and such in the time I've been an artist. But I'll get there eventually.
>>8062485cute alien boy
>>8055427I agree, I'm not sure I'm that great at making them though.>>8061753Thanks! I like your character sprites. You're very good at picking pleasing colors and shape design.>I like how the flowers look, did you do them with a reference?I did with a flower brush by taking their outlines and just coloring and shading them.
what's the point anymore
>>8059777>but that doesn’t automatically replace the desire to express yourself, develop your skills, or create something that reflects your own experiences and ideasEvery detail has intent behind it when done by hand, even if the final piece isn't good there's still something being said. It isn't true expression if every word isn't yours. I played around with AI and I still felt like I would rather do everything myself because it wasn't what I was seeing in my mind's eye. There's a catharsis to a piece being entirely yours down to the cracks on the sidewalk and the t-shirt of a background character.
>>8063675>When AI pops it will shut out the third world (hopefully) from access to it, which will clean up the internet a lot, but some people will still be genning things.Moronic post. The data centers will be built and there are no plan to stop massive development. Stop your coping this instant.
>>8063688why are you typing like you're happy that things are getting worse?
>>8063641I'm in the same boat, I used to have so much enthusiasm for learning and drawing what I yearned to draw.Now I'm burnt tf out, and I feel like everything's been done before. Trying to work up motivation to complete more drawings that the old me would've really loved to see come to life. Still hard to get past perfectionism ruining the fun, though.
>>8063641Same here, same age, but also with movies, reading, games on top. Been over a year since i watched or read or played anything and can barely finish sketches
tks...hmmm yeeeah no thaks.
>>8062629is it me or do these quotes just not quite make sense?
>>8063527>I've long heard that Marvel's page rates are dogshit now, thought DC's aren't too bad, but marvel is coasting along on their illustrative name, believing things will pick back up, and they'll always have their pick of the artist litter.yeah just look at the output of artists working at marvel vs dc, nick dragotta made some awful looking stuff when he was dealing with the marvel schedule on spiderman but now on absolute batman he's half the reason the series is doing so well
>>8061816okay so its fake
>>8063547It seems to be contradictory, but it's not.>The average comic artist makes absolutely nothing now, so it's not a good idea to get into it as a career prospect>There is just too much competition in the indie market and the pros aren't paying shit either>HOWEVER, there is a very small sliver of a chance to make a huge viral hitIt's kinda like the gacha market. One in a million will be successful, but most devs think that level of success is worth risking everything for over and over.
>>8063774i dont think that what the quote says, maybe it makes more sense with the full context.it sounds like:A: these days you have to hustle and be actively in charge of your career, implying thats like a bad thing.B: starts with a weird 'fine do it i guess if you have to" then repeats A, kinda.C. I would assume direct market mean i just maket and publish shit myself (A again). but then hes talking about work for hire - isnt that dealing with the "big two" or what ever again?then it just repeats A again with thecaveat of "le competition"seems a bit obtuse
i've gotten comfortable enough in my artistic abilities to share my SFW artworks with family members that i don't typically engage with, mainly my aunt who's living the rural christian housewife life in montana, whom i don't think i've ever been close to at any point in time, but i visit yearly as a vacation.My uncle considers my starship designs to be useless purely because they cannot be built in real life, so he doesn't see any value in art or creative fiction and i don't engage with him at all anymore. My aunt, however, seems pretty supportive but she has some pretty outdated views on what art is like.She suggested that i become a graphic designer or concept artist, but i told her that industry jobs have been dead since AI became a thing and most artists who aren't sloppers go freelance and build an audience on social media with HD files on paysites. But i also mentioned that not only am i not skilled enough to do that, but i genuinely don't desire monetization of my art if it meant limiting my audience or spending most of my time drawing art for other people, and i'd much rather get some soul-crushing 9-to-5 if it meant being stable, although no one really gets job security now anyways (perhaps it's a moot point).i don't understand the Gen X mindset of turning every hobby into a career, especially for fields like art which were never really financially stable BEFORE the slop-pocalypse, and has been made even worse by the growing number of third worlders with access to the internet and much cheaper cost of living than northern california...when he was still alive, my dad freaked out that i was spending a few hundred dollars of (my own money) on digital art commissions, since he seemed to think that only physical media is worth paying for, even though that means allocating space for it and preventing wear and tear (of which PNGs and .blend files are immune)
>>8063450is that AI?
>>8063452Ink and gouache, boyo
>>8062828id kms
>>8063381Not OP, just someone that finds insults unproductive.
at least your aunt respects art. treating art like a hobby first is actually why artists can't make good money out of it i the first place. you deserve to be replaced by the third-worlders you complain about.
Can anyone explain this trend (or if it's actually based on something real?)As far as I know the eye should be convex as it's a sphere...
She's a doll
>>8063705it's called artistic choice my guy. the goal of stabilization is to break the rules that you learned in favor of what feels and looks good to you. Fundies are just your tools.
>>8063705Its just a natural consequence of making your characters eyes/iris essentially so big that unless she has eyes eyes completely wide open in shock the eyes will appear more like rounded squares when they eyes are in their natural relaxed state, and when you translate that to a profile view you get this type of design.Also your exaggerated example you dont give anime artists enough credit. You imply that they draw it completely concave from my analysis in drawing anime they still give it a curve pushing outwards from the top of the eye until it turns into a straight line as it reached towards the bottom eye lid. Its subtle but it prevents it from looking like your bottom pic
>>8063793i didn't find the best example but rozen maiden's anime is full of way more concave eyes...
How do background artists do those background details in the far back? Particularly with this kind of visual novel style.The current process I follow is picking colors, separating them on layers so I can easily adjust them and handrawing using a vague reference. Which I feel is tedious and time consuming. And I feel like this process is not very efficient since I end up with 12+ layers for what's like 5% of the picture. Would using 3D models or free materials make more sense for this kind of artstyle? I mainly do character illustrations with a bit of background like in VNs, but I spend more time in background details than character drawing.
>>8063717that is 3d
>>8063717start using 300pp for starters
trace them out then color like every background artist
>>8063717that is not even a drawing
Shit like this is why AI is as prevalent today. Normies simply cannot understand how art is made, most don't even know about photobashing. There will be no collective "rising up" by consumers against AI, they already consume it unknowingly with glee. The only saving grace is to get involved with your local politics and community. Let others know what is on the horizon, and it's not the billionaire funded psyop of "it's a bubble, just don't worry about it"
I can only draw if I use little construction-worker men to help me out. Where I place them gives me a better sense of space and perspective.
>>8052680That's cute.
I'm not really an artist, but I have an idea when I make dumb little sketches, of making multiple seperate ones on a peice of paper and then trying to find some commonality between them, like just the perspective, and then use it as a basis to make a larger drawing on top of it, seperate from the rest, and in an odd way the smaller sketches would fit what ends up on top of it despite it possibly being something entirely different. I know that may be retarded and perhaps gay, like I said I'm not an artist, but then I wonder how many people had such ideas that became something. I think the idea is sound.
>>8059517I guess a better way to put it is using small sketches to retroactively assess the perspective to then work on that premise. I think it sounds like a good idea for practicing at least.
>>8059428Nice dude :)
Would I say it also helps with studying/reference? Yeah, kinda. It makes it easier (for ME) to get a "feel" for something, I suppose if I was trying to 1:1 copy also the position of the little guys is cutting out the middle man, its like shortening the amount of information I have to retain.It's weird, like I have to do it all by-proxy. I can see everything I look at (reference) FINE, but I can only really "understand" it through the eyes of the little dudes.
A voice tells the elf lady "soon you will be the same height as this dwarf" What do you think it means?
>>8059739Being tiny is normal for women. She should be worried about growing taller.

Post your stuff. Get rated. Rate others. Self explanitory.Old thread:>>8012690
>>8063782t-thank you. this is kind in consideration of context.this may be a paradox from seeking harder to overcome emotional anesthesia. for reference, this is a pre-insensibilisation doodle.
>>8063166the rating system is good but artists would have to post a collage with their most recent drawings with no selection whatsoever for it to work since an important point in many tiers is consistency
>>8063795maybe that's the case, your old art is very cute, but it looks a bit generic, I may be generalizing too much from a single sample, but the accessories and foreshortened poses on your newer stuff look more intentional, it's like instead of trying to make your art fit into the cute anime girl stereotype you are now building on top of the stereotype to express more complex ideas
off topic, but we need a new watercooler talk

>>8061657petersonian?
>>8061657What's this thread about? Anyway I do draw pretty fast. In order to draw fast you have to be comfortable drawing fast. And mistakes will slow you down a lot.
