Left is the cover of the first Sonichu comic, made in 2004. Right was made a little over 2 years ago.Autism aside, you'd think he'd at least improve at drawing the same character for the past 20 years. Even if he's never sat his ass down to actually study anatomy.Genuinely don't know how this is possible.
>>7719727>Autism asideHe's literally retarded anon. Not retarded as an insult, retarded as in he's mentally stunted.How is this baffling you?To give you an idea of how his retardation is affecting him; other artists came to him to pitch the idea remaking his comic, or doing an animated adaption of his works; chris-chan turned them down because their art didn't 'meet his standards', as in, he felt his art was superior to their art and that their art didn't meet his level.He hasn't matured, so he has a massive ego, and is unable to actually reflect on or critique his own work - it's the best because he made it.Granted there might be more to it, there are autists who are obsessed with chris-chan; I've never even watched a single thing he's done and only heard about him from periphery discussions.
Practice doesn't equal progress. Insight equals progress, and practice is a reliable but imperfect way to acquire insight. Hence eight-year-olds who can paint this well despite limited practice; their unusually brain structures allow them to acquire insights rapidly in the areas they care about.
>>7719779Consider this doodle Edward Hopper made at the age of nine, on the back of his report card. Most kids could practice all day long and not draw this well, because they would fail to absord certain key insights such as "make sure, smooth lines instead of feathery ones" and "give your subject a striking pose rather than a banal one".
>>7719779>>7719793These are teslly good. I was consodered quite good as a kid, but nowhere near these examples. Unfortunately I haven't consistently drawn in years. Second biggest regret in life might just be not having really pursued art, particularly in my teens.
>>7719828I don't see why that's a big deal. Just start learning again if you want to learn it. Plenty of people don't even start until middle age.
>>7719828Oh god, forgive my nodraw phoneposting ways, that lead innevitably to embarrassing spelling errors that make me seem even more a fool.
>>7719727Hes a retard. Retards are known by their ability to be retarded.
>>7719834I suppose you're right. I did actually draw today, though. So that's a plus, even if it was just copying an artist.
>>77197271. He's not mentally well.2. If you mindlessly do the same thing you won't improve. You may become quicker at your own awful technique, but you will not increase your skills.
>>7719779painting isnt really comparable to sonichu. chris chan is inventing new things in his autistic mind, that child painted a 1:1 xerox of a photo.
>>7719727Perhaps it is a severely limited scope of reference. It may be motor skills, that may be part of the problem but certainly not all. I think it might be a reflection of how this person does not leave their own mind let alone house that often. I think a limited scope of reference material is a big culprit. But not the only reason.
Imagine if Chris-Chan learned fundamentals. Like someone actually got this psycho nigga art skills.
>>7719727>How has Chris-Chan literally never improved?You can't go past perfect soulkino.
>>7719727Because hes a fucking idiot and a narcissistHe probably has like 70 IQ unironically or something like that and he genuinely thinks his art is good already and hes lazy as fuck so he doesnt actually put any effort or energy into improvingImprovent requires consistent effort, addressing mistakes, and active attention
>>7719727Chronic autismIt also happened with plenty of our own schizos on this board
>>7719772>He's literally retarded anon. Not retarded as an insult, retarded as in he's mentally stunted./threadHow is this topic even worth a fucking discussion
It's amazing that he's made more with his comic/IP than most people on this board (myself too obv). How much money do you think he's made selling sonichu merch (amiibos, comics, medallions, shirts, commissions)?
>>7719772>>7720055One problem that a lot of people have when discussing CWC is their tendency to ignore or downplay his mental retardation>CWC could have been normalAnd all that bullshitIn a sane world chris would have been institutionalized and sterilized decades ago.
>>7719779>>7719793I hate talented people their fucking brains just let them learn this shit just by "playing"I want to strangle those shits
Every time this guy comes up I'm reminded that after all the shit he did he still retired with a girl 20 years younger than him. Chris fucking won.
Is it weird that I find Chris Chan's humor hilarious? I keked at that right pic.
>>7720033Poor Gabe. I like his work. Stop bullying him. Or her... Idk anymore
He drew very sporadically, IIRC it took him as long as a year to get some issues of Sonichu out
>>7720033Unlike the vast majority of mentally unwell schizos on this board Gabe is one of the few anon in general who has actually shown steady improvement with his work.
>>7720772>He drew very sporadically, IIRC it took him as long as a year to get some issues of Sonichu outThis. Also he unironically did have progress. While just doing retarded goofy art sporadically. Just draw keeps on winning.
>>7719727The brain works in essentially 2 modes. Mode 1 is active learning and growth, mode 2 is muscle memory and 'automated behavior.' Your brain wants to be in mode 2 as much as possible, so you have to make an active effort to be in mode 1. This is why when you do something challenging, or go out of your way to learn something, it can be frustrating and even stressful in the moment.You don't necessarily get better at doing something when all of your time doing it is in mode 2. People who drive to and from work every day for 10s of years aren't necessarily experts on driving.Chris has not spent a single moment in mode 1 when making art since he was a child. The unchecked autism most definitely played a major role in that.
I sent this to Chris in 2009 and never got a response
the issue with chris chan improving is that he's terminally retarded, it's that he's terminally lazy, he takes years just to do one or two pages, and it's not even because he's drawing for that time span, he's just lazy and is jerking off and playing video games
>>7720059that's not even unique IP, it's all amalgam of existing cartoon characters.>he has merch of this abomination and disrespect for trademarked characters, pokemon and sonic.wouldn't you donate to the retard movement if you had empathy for the mentally challenged? pity money for the disabled. if he is aware of being this big of a shitter, he's exploiting actual autism and making a killing off of it.also stop making threads about this faggot, we know the "art" (lol) never improves. he doesn't deserve all of this attention he gets, let this die.
>>7721498I'll have you know, he has a trademark from the Virginia City Hall Chamber of Commerce for his Original Characters...It's one of those things I learned against my will...
>>7721498>not even unique IPSo? It's still his, and he's made more money from it than 99% of people on this board ever will from their art. He has a cute gf now, his own place, and makes a living streaming video games + passive income from his merch. He's living the dream while you seethe and cope
>>7720511>could have been normalnot "average person" normal but he could've been just a relatively functional special needs person who even manages to move out and live on their own and maybe even gets a pity job stocking shelves or something, if there wasnt a genuine gangstalking effort around him he wouldnt have kept digging deeper into what he ended up as
>>7721536>he's living the dreamyes, his fantasy, let him stay contained in that dream bubble. there are more life-fulfilling dreams to speak of and live than living the life of a dumpy guy streaming a video game while masturbating and licking windows. be back later, going to move on and appreciate the works of handicapped kids that don't purposely exploit the "pity" system.
>>7719727same reason Sami Ways or KodyBoy555 never seem to improve. Autistic Artists can sometimes fall into this kind of creative treadmill where there output level is insanely high but it never leads to improvement. Because they're not thinking about how to push their work or develop their technique, they simply want to artistically and autistically generate the thing they obsess with It's kind of fascinating. I can't understand the obsession from a non-tism perspective, but the lack of improvement makes sense to me from an artistic sense. https://www.artstation.com/santalahtihttps://www.deviantart.com/kodyboy555/gallery
>>7721582>still copingLol, what "fantasy"? Has his own place. A real cute gf that has sex with him. A career doing the easiest thing in the world: just playing video games or chatting. People paying for his art and merch. All things that you and everyone else here would desperately want. Keep seething and coping though.
>>7721591>defending autism exploitationwhy aren't (you) living said lifestyle, then? hmmm? if it's so irresistable, you should pursue the same.
>>7720747Autistic humour is underrated as fuck. Lazerbot's Tails Gets Trolled is another amazing example.
>>7721593Wtf are you talking about idiot? I'm just saying his life is great. It's beyond pathetic how you so desperately need to frame his life as bad so you can feel better about your own. Just know that while you're here seething with no one giving a shit about your art, he'll be enjoying life having sex with his gf and making loads of money.
>>7721597people who follow lolcows need to continue beliving that the lolcow is unhappy, so they can feel superior.
>>7721596Ok, this is a hilarious page. Its like pure existential horror, bordering on some eldritch fucking nightmare and it ends up with a fucking.>ok
>>7721596just realized Tail Gets Trolled is basically soft seinen
>>7721551Stop being delusionalCWC needed to be put to sleep
>>7721618ThisIt's crazy how people try to pretend there was any saving him. Soiciety would rather let schizos roam free than to do what is actually needed
