More esoteric lore symbolism shitI think I could've thrown more focus into the rendering, but I'm a bit rusty desu :c>>7648099AAAAAHGHHHHHHHH THIS IS AWESOME AAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAAAAI love the colors and pose and everything about this!!! You got every last detail perfect too, and it honestly made my day to see this drawing. Your rendering has improved a lot as well, and it definitely shows :)TYSM!!!(Do you have an OC I can draw for you btw? I'll probably be slow as molasses, but I'd still like to draw an OC for you somewhere down the line.)
just a silly little poster for today >>7645511always love the backgrounds in these, like city graffiti! >>7648099He looks so cool here, and that texture is delicious
>>7648983I wanted to practice drawing a lizard tail, and he was a perfect for it. I am glad you like it, thanks!>>7648195>>7651833thanks!

should I buy a realistic human proportioned doll to study stylized anatomy? I mean, I could hire a man to pose for me but I'm afraid that I can't contain my dirty thoughts and might enforce my intrusive thoughts on him, so a lifeless model would be much preferable as I can behave myself.
>>7655900Don't cheap out on the anatomy dolls. Save money and do your research.>>7656139Need them to share an onahole!
>>7656833what kind of research? I've already got those bodykun, figma he, 3dtotal sets and bjd and it's not enough.
>>7655900>>7657108Have you tried actually drawing? Pyw.
>>7656833Interesting idea. However, "onaholes" weren't around in 1964 so I'll have to make them do it with a sock.

see, learning another useless skill that doesn't make any sustainable profit in the long run and just one-off.

Can someone post a link to the discord?
This one was challenging, but I am happy with the depth>>7660103I like the bony bumps in the shoulder
>>7664652This is really cool. But I think it would look better with sharper highlights on the leather textures and the metallic detailing.
>>7664604>zero work postedno begs allowed, sorry
>>7664667Is the discord link drop a random occurance?
>>7664667id like an invite if I'm not too beg for you, some of you may know me from other servers on discord, my username is aku8694 , same on twitter if you want to check my work firstalso posting some cute guy scribbles to keep this on topic
is this cute? its for a commission and ive never drawn a bishie before
>>7665284Based as fuck
>>7665393So cute, that style is right up my alley
finished work after a comm am i the only one who feels bad charging people for art when you know you can do better/want to do better
ArtFight attack>>7664652The textures and colors are positively delicious...>>7664696It's like a Labubu drop. Quick to come and go, like a thief in the night.(joking. Idk honestly)>>7665194Your linework is very neat!!! Good work!!!>>7665393Ganbare!!!>>7666542I think I would feel the same way if I did comms, but, if they're happy, that's the most important thing. Good stuff!
So...are your male ocs gay or straight?
>>7666994All straight but I make them do gay shet against their will
>>7666994I made all my characters straight cause I like writing shoujo. Simple as.
>>7666994i rape all my characters regardless
>>7666994Straight. A man that doesn't dedicate his life and body to pleasuring women is useless to me
>>7666994generally straight, but not human nor animal so they all end up pretty much not sexual at all. they like everyone platonically, and are entirely, casually, open minded.
>>7666994My ocs used to all be bissexual but that has since changed to straight now that i realize that yaoi was just a placeholder/ cope for relationship dynamics that would've otherwise been between a man and woman. God this world needs more romantic erotica for women by women.
can I join discord when I don't post in this general? I just lurk here for a year and post on DAD. heard about the discord from another imageboard when the creator posted an invite link there once. I was too shy to join at that time..
The /cgsg/ server is officially re-opened!A gentle reminder to people interested in joining the /cgsg/ server:Please do the following if you want access to the cord upon arrival:1. Post one piece of work previously posted in the /cgsg/ threads.2. Post 3 completed illustrations including a WIP with layers visible. No exceptions.https://discord.gg/vYXqv93xAny questions can be answered in-server upon arrival. Have a nice day!
>>7668688All discords should have those rules
>>7641209Do you think it's weird if I use female asses for references when drawing men? It's just really hard to find good looking male asses.
>>7668709Females have completely different pelvic structures than men, but it depends on if you are trying to build a femboy or a lithe man, in which case you will probably build a femboy if you pursue that path.
>>7641216All in all, he's quite a handsome dude, but, while the arrangement of the eyes and mouth on his face looks nice, the placement and shape of his nose is honestly a bit wonky.For starters, his nose sprouts lengthwise directly from the glabella at a vertical 45° angle of inclination. Not even the straight profiles of Classical statues have nasal bridges that high. Just sketch a line connecting the inner corner of your character's left eyebrow with the foreground vertex of his nose tip (matching the edge where his nasal dorsum meets the sidewall closer to the viewer) and the problem will become easier to notice.https://www.dallasnosejob.com/files/2021/05/subunits2.jpgThis issue stems in good part from the faulty application of the common animanga cheat of depicting the columella of the nose as if it originated from above the furthermost visible side of the mouth, instead of from the top of the philtrum, as it occurs in real life. This stylization works well on moe-ish faces (specifically because of the tiny mouths), not so much on those with less cartoony proportions, as it"s the case with your drawing.My advice is that, when drawing a face in a 3/4 or near-profile view, in order to help you determine an acceptable placement for the nose in relation to the mouth, you take as a guideline the location of the background Glogau-Klein point of the character's upper lip (whether you choose to depict the latter or not), said point being the bottom of the furthermost ridge of the philtrum. At the end of the day, it's basically a less exaggerated version of the classic cheat.https://www.mdpi.com/life/life-15-00315/article_deploy/html/images/life-15-00315-g010-550.jpg
Genuinely only curious, what is the "culture" of the server? I won't pry any further than this.

>>7671981This is my personal tastes speaking, but get this lad some chicken breast and a treadmill. NOW!>>7671844I read the whole thing. My critique is that you should scan it a little better because I assume I'm not the only one who had a difficult time parsing it.>>7671834One year of mandatory military service STAT!>>7670596The pinnacle of form and beauty. 10/10 would bring a tear to the old masters.>7670480>7670481>7670482Anon, you've been posting the same stuff for years. Consider dedicating some time to study or practicing coloring/shading to elevate your works. Hope this helps!
This is still a wip, but I thought I should post this now since the thread is pretty slow. There's a woman in this artwork, but we all know Koko's the main man carrying this piece>>7671981Based and big man pilled
>>7672748Big man... time?!Very coomis-pilled...
>>7664652This is so cool! Amazing! Do you have any socials?
>>7671847I'm this anon here>>7672011Nah it's not the scanning issues, it's just bad and messy so it looks like the camera blurring. I haven't been able to mentally lock in so forms were all over the place. I have to remind myself to stop aiming my pencil in random directions and focus on putting down the correct stroke in one clean go.I appreciate that you told me it was hard to read, that is true; thanks for going out of your way.
Practicing drawing muscles again
Anyone has that picture of a guy, sitting on an open window, holding one or two knifes and I think he was wearing socks with holes to reveal his toes. I think I saw it somewhere in the older threads but can't find it anymore.
>>7672748I finished :O)>>7672829Yessiiir, big man time coomis edition
>>7676946super hot
>>7670482I want to eat him!!!
forgot to post this one
spookiesmight dress this up later but for now i wanna make more>>7676946B I G I G
>>7677126This is really cool, like a fever dream... the colors are really cool too!!!
>>7677024Cute!>>7677126Before I would the Asylum Ghost, why was he in the asylum in the first place?Who am I kidding. It wouldn't matter.
>>7678683Thanks, anon! I love me some spooky ghost shenanigans>>7678951lol don't worry he's a good boy, just a little schizophrenic. His family abandoned him there since they didn't want to take care of him :(
>>7678957Poor guy. 10/10 would hang out at the asylum with an Ouija board and a good book.
>>7678957Damn, who ditched him?
>>7679701not who ditched him, who picked him up. Or rather, who he picked up, maybe even what he picked up (umbrella yokai opened up and made sopping wet by hot samurai man-handling her delicate bare form all out in the open)
Is there an easy way to adjust a color palette for a different setting? For instance, how would I change a color palette for a character to fit a night setting?
>>7680097I do this by paint-bucketing dark blue over my piece and setting it to multiply. Then I alter the transparency until I like it.
>>7670481Finally, a cute male. It's all fucking bara shit in here!
>>7680223I'd post mine but it goes too far in the opposite direction from bara.
>>7680223>It's all fucking bara shitIf you believe most of the ocs are "bara" then you must think twink is shota.
WIP... I'm gonna make him dance
How do you find references for good looking male asses? It genuinely feels so hard to come across them.
>>7682286It's called gay porn.

color studies paying off, im really happy with this one
>>7668688What happened to the last one?
Designing a new boy.How do we feel about super long and lanky boys? To the point that proportions, like arm length, are pushing past the realistic norm?
>>7684262They are much needed. >>7683103Love the pose though his fingers are looking blocky.
>>7668688>https://discord.gg/vYXqv93x>not making the link infinite
Gatekeeping works.
>>7685149I'll try to make somethingI take >>7668688 as an art challenge.I always do art challenges.
>>7684262i like a boy like that occasionally, but i draw their figure less rectangular and more upside-down triangle like. that's up to preference though. there needs to be more of all kinds of cute boys
>>7684262Only if they've got a melancholy victorian like aesthetic. Like a frail bird.>>7685675Into pudgy guys myself
>>7685793>No femboy/trans/traps/futa. Go to /salt/ for that.
>>7684262My favouriteAlso my values are fucked I'm trying to draw the character jet black in skin tone and hair colour but it just ends up illegible. It doesn't help that my drawings are unclean normally. Disappointing
>>7687056https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_E1ARR_AAgI reccomend this tutorial to help with rendering the skin. I tried it myself following advice from the video to show how I tried to give it a more skin-like look while still reading as naturally black. The hair behind the head (under the chin) is lightened to increase depth. Do note that darker values will read as closer while lighter values read as further away. By lightening it you also mimic how it would look with the bounce light coming from the floor because even though it's pitch-black and in shadow, it loses it's depth if the value is too dark.
>>7684262Anyone know any good resources for outfit designs (that aren't Pintrest)?>>7685675>there needs to be more of all kinds of cute boysSo true.>>7685793I like a pudgy boy as well but for the life of me I'm not sure I would be able to pull it off.Your boy is very cute.>>7685840While I'm afraid mine often fall into the 'femboy' category his clearly isn't any of those things?>>7687056Does he have a story, anon?>The KhanBased.
Wip of one of my cute guys, he’s stupid and I hate him but it’s ok because he’s my favorite
>>7687148I tried to implement the videos' techniques' with bounce lighting and gradients and i ended satisfied a bit more, I think I was over exposing everything as well because I initially thought if it was more saturated with light the different aspects would be more clearly seperated on a darker surface which didn't turn out so good as you can see in the first thing I posted. I might do studies of leather because I can't find any irl reference that's satisfying me. Looks less pale while still being able to differentiate things I think>>7687359Download fashion encyclopaedias/illustrated fashion/costume history books from zlibrary, or the real library depending on your attitude to piracy. And I was writing fanfiction so it's just Vulkan after being stuck in Konrads funhouse for a decade
>>7687410tell me more about him
>>7687410Looks trans.
>>7687056that is the cutest Vulkan i've ever seen>>7685793cute and doesn't look like a girl at all>>7687359there are tumblr blogs good for this also, i'd use tags to search for them. but as the other anon recommended just straight up books might be more convenient for a general view of a certain culture/perioddelighted to see other warhammerfags here, i'll throw in my wretched xeno doodles as well
wip i'll probably never finish
>>7687490>after being stuck in Konrads funhouse for a decadePoor Vulkan.>>7687958Marazhai or just a no-name kabalite warrior?
>>7688294Very beautiful colors. There's certain skill needed for sketches to look so clean like that. Even if it's not that one I want to see what your finished works look like. >>7687359Do a little research on historical periodical outfits. The cape lapels on your wizard boy seems a bit odd. Those lapel styles usually are on coats or jackets. Capes are just pieces of square cut fabric that have the tops folded over to make a big collar. Btw I love his little airhead expressions.
>>7689052thanks so much! i've admittedly been slow at finishing anything recently because of work, but i always try to get a few sketches out everyday, maybe i'll get around to finishing one of them once i get a day off haha
>>7683103>>7687056>>7688294I like the dark mood in these
Twinked my twunk a little. I also made his horns point inwards because I thought it would look cuter.
>>7692064'Twink' is and will all be gay faggot lite /dumbbitch pick me girl/ tranny taste. twunk up your twink if you are going to try appeal to women with it.
>>7692064I liked his twunk form better desu. Most ladies do enjoy a little more beef on a male character's bones desu.I still like his design, and I hope you post more of him.
>>7692250>>7692268Oh well, lol. I'm about to draw the page he appears in so I dont really want to do any more revisions, I'll have to rely on the writing to make him cool. Fortunately I've got other characters I can mess around with.
finally did something im kinda happy with whatchu think
>>7692441not bad work anon but you posts in the wrong thread. here you go >>7666358 best of luck too you
Trying to get back in to colouring. Too many b&w sketches lately. A bit rusty.>>7692064>>7692411For what it's worth Anon, I like the Twink version.

All I learned is that I hate sand dunes.>>7701640He is an empath-slash-living-science experiment who is one of the more successful victims in a series of trials that dope his powers but at the cost of his memories. While he can retreat into a dreamworld of his own creation, a by-product of the power-doping experiments that manifested itself as a starry desert, his physical body undergoes various tortures and torment in the real world as his captors try to figure out how to bring out the full potential of his powers.His dreamscape is not only his last-ditch attempt at making contact with someone on the outside but also is used to preserve what's left of his fading memories.

what's the composition like picrel is called? is there any modern artist that does that (and shows their process from sketching to finish, if possible)?

>>7655900do the "muscles" change shape as you reposition the limbs?i.e. do they contract and stretch?otherwise it's totally useless
Hello this is a poor attempt a studying muscle. To be fair I’m kinda lost a drawing people. I want to draw bara and be a bara artist (like Dopq and more for example). The problem is that I’m lost I don’t know where to start and how to practice and improve.I don’t find a lot of ressource for bara (I mean it’s just muscular male). Maybe studying artist is a ressource ?What do you think
>>7706548Hampton Figure Drawing is a really good handbook for beginners, and so is Morpho.You should be copying from real life as well, because that is the most surefire way to understand the forms you are working with.
male backs are difficult for me, anyone know any handy tips or reference sheets? I feel like every time I look at a male back I can't even really tell what im looking at
I've been really trying to draw more people instead of furries and I made this guy. I really like the Eva style so that's what I went with.
>>7707446He cute. The headband is a nice touch that helps the design stand apart from other sort of 'guy with nerd glasses' designs.
>>7707446cute soft delicate but still masculine features

>>7711541Those are some good colors and textures... the pose is so dynamic too!!! Always a pleasure to see your work!!!>evil versionInstead 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 ;-;

Sailor on leave gets tricked into polio vaccine
>>7707903>>7709547>>7710284Thanks! 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.>>7711561I 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
Redrew an old piece>>7712779I keked>>7713659Thanks for the crit! Pushing expressions is something I struggle with a bit. I'll have to draw him some more!!!>he might as well be my OCDo it. Also very based how much thought you put into his design!!!
