>He hasn't started on that big project yet>He's still drawing floating heads and boxesBetter get started anon, time is finite, age matters, and the world order is collapsing right as we speakTake it from a 40 year old anon, you don't want to waste your best years spinning your wheels and doing nothing of note
>>7920092>Wasted my teen years and twenties fantasizing about making a cartoon show, drawing terrible concept art but never animating an actual videoBiggest regret desu. I'm making shit now but it's demoralizing at 32. I really should have started at 18/19. Now the petrodollar is collapsing and my friends and family are going broke one by one.
>>7920092But I have to be good before I'm allowed to make stuff
Hurry up or you'll miss your chance to get cancelled and kys.
I’d be overwhelmed and burned out within a week. If a project takes more than two days to finish then it’s not for me. Even picking up where I left off yesterday is rough.
>>7920123you'll just have to grow a thicker skin and be smarter against this new breed of mentally challenged pseudo-social justice warrior always-online trannies. anyone that survives this wave of lunatics will inevitably be stronger and better than any artist before. i mean, AOC in Pennsylvania is 16 years, there is nothing legally nor morally wrong of courting a 17 year old. any accusation by the ill-informed should be worn as a badge of honour and pride.
>>7920146Notre Dame took about a hundred years to be finished. You can do anything anon, slow and steady wins the race (war).
>>7920092the events in life are predeterminedif you were meant to make it then you will, if you aren't, you won't. no need to tell people to "just draw" and "grind boxes", what will happen has already been decideddon't stress out about it, time will unravel and reveal which side you end up on
>>7920163>t.
>>7920163Go be a faggot somewhere else
>>7920173i know which side you're going to end up on!
>>7920163We would all be blessed if it were pre-ordained that you stop writing like a cunt.
when you're tong, you have the motivation and time, but no skill.When you're older, you have the skill, but lost the motivation and time.I barely have it in me to do one chore a day, forget drawing.
>>7920189
>>7920092drawing floating head and boxes are somehow impressive
>>7920123I read up on this. God, how I hate those conceited puritans. Absolutely cynic to throw the word "grooming" around, while there's actual rape gangs out there that the police covers up for, out of fears to be seen as authoritarian.The wanting to draw some woman nude thing is so laughable. I asked so many women to model for me and so many asked me whether I want to draw them nude. Unhinged how the laypeople prey on the artist.
>>7920163What if I was destined to stress out?
>>7920123Just don't be a pedophile
>>7920092>She has been working on that big project for years now>She's still drawing
>>7920366damn if I got peacemogged on the street I might just end it
>>7920354>Once Mentored a childPedophile>Once Spoke to a childPedophile>Once was in the room as a childPedophile>Once gave birth to a childPedophile>Once was on the same planet as a childPedophileI can't believe I have to live in a reality filled with so many pedophiles.
>>7920092I want to have hand-holding missionary sex with Pomni
>>7920382>needs his hand held to have missionary sexngmi
>>7920092>the world is collapsing>that's why you should live in itOP, just go shake the world's hand and ask them give you a project.
>>7920156That was built by men of high moral fiber, zelot devotion, and absolute conviction. I jerk off to loli creampie hentai.
>>7920092>tfw nearly 27>wasted teens and early/mid twenties trying to do stem>got in (barely) but i hate it so fucking much, job is boring even if it pays barely alright >almost wish i'd just tried harder to get that graphic art degree i wanted even though i know i'd have been worse off, maybe i would've been happy i think my "dream" games are >a pretentious visual novel>a 90s inspired walk sim and that's it. i guess my big issue is that my art skills are nowhere near where i need them to be (i can barely rotate a cube so how the fuck do i learn blender?) and i haven't touched a language tougher than sql in several years. it feels pretty over for me
>>7920446Medieval construction work was notoriously disorganised and slow, and church projects especially had very flaky funding, with construction often stopping for years or even decades at a time before some noble randomly decided to donate and it picked up againOtherwise it was often just volunteers bringing in a few stones and putting them at some random spot whenever they felt like itThis is why it took generations to build that shit and not because the buildings were especially hard to make. Let this be a lesson on something
>>7920451Absolute twaddle.Is this how professional Greenblat is framing it now?The organization behind cathedrals was near superhuman.
>>7920095>used to be an imaginative teen into fandom shit>never actually produced anything to put out into the world, even if it were bad>tons of others did and those same people went on to improve it's ultimately shame and pride that kills you
>>7920092I already accepted that I will never draw anything I want to draw.
>>7920907>The organization behind cathedrals was near superhuman.these niggas had barely anything to do but fucking and farming back in the day. and they had a divine spirit indoctrinated into them, they believed in something. someone deluding themselves enough can achieve much more than a hopeless faggot.
>>7920092I have like a thousand "big projects" that I'd like to do but IDK what to pursue
>>7922975the one that sparks you the most. where there is a spark or embers, you can fan it to a wildfire. all you have to do is not let the spark die out. intuition, motivation and dedication are very impoartant not just in the arts, but everything you do in life.
>>7920092Is there a book about transitioning after DrawABox to a project?
how can someone be 40 and still be so stupid.You are not supposed to start it, no one cares. You were supposed to finish it yesterday.
>>7923172Yeah, I'm thinking, OP is another nodraw. Probably not into any creative hobby. Probably not even actually 40We all start millions of projects only to be abandoned when we hit a difficult part.Finishing is what's hard.
>>7920448You're basically where I was at 27 except I wasted all my time doing absolutely jack shit and now I'm 34 with nothing to show for it.You're fine. You still have time to learn. Just start today. Start now. If you draw a couple hours every day (and I mean EVERY day) and actually study properly then you can get surprisingly far in just 2-3 years.
>>7923231thank you
>>7920092Hahaha. You think I'm drawing.
every time I think about working on my passion project, I imagine someone asking me what I'm doing and I can't say "drawing pictures of anime girls" like a retard. All I get from this is happiness at the cost of falling even further behind in life. I'd rather just be miserable while working hard as a poorfag because that's at least virtuous. Escaping with drawing and being happy despite being a failure is the cowards way.
i'm at the stage of drawing characters in a white void. no big projects yet
>>7920092old man teach us where you failed so others can succeed
>>7920092I'm 27, but I can be 80 and still will start my first project by that age and feel no guilt because I am so unique as a person that literally nobody else will be able to even execute the ideas in the same way that I can execute it. (I genuinely believe this.)
>>7920092I am doing nothing precisely to help collapse everything first. Can't focus until internet is down and I can finally use all those resources I hoarded
22 and nearly 90 pages into my big project, and honestly sorta regret it. Just cause my starting art sorta sucks, and I wish my early scenes are a bit off. Theres a reason why people do a bunch of short comics before their big one, cause once you start, you learn alot more.Although look at Kirkman however, he was like 23 when he started Invincible, and AOT guy was like 23 when he started AOT. So many of these famous and successful guys start young. Their stuff didnt get successful for years as well too, so I guess just make anything, even if its not successful
>>7926015sorry ignore spelling mistakes, at wagecage right now.
>>7920451>Medieval construction work was notoriously... When someone starts a sentence like this I know they're pulling it out their ass
>>7920095>it's demoralizing at 32.>>7920092I`ve been trying to create a project since 2015, but I only started to learn to draw in the middle of 2019, still, I`m also 32 and there`s nothing to my name besides practice of box and worthless stuff like that so I get you guys.
>>7926015>look at Kirkman however, he was like 23 when he started Invincible, and AOT guy was like 23 when he started AOTHokazono`s 23 when he started Kagurabachi and today he got an anime...
>>7926015I've seen you in /mmg/, youve been making good progressAnyways regarding your comment with any new comic whether its the 1st or the 10th there will always be growing pains. You and you alone are discovering what your world and story actually looks like. Theres a shit ton of manga/comics that actually have weak starts art wise, not even including the big names you listed. You arent the first to have that problem so just be glad its gotten better like all those other guys.Also, and you're gonna have to trust me on this, people are forgiving when you've made a mass volume of art. Normies and artists alike when presented with a mass volume of art like a comic look at the whole and not scutinize every single page. I've seen it in real time when I've presented my actual physical pages to my Professor. He would always be able to pinpoint any fuck ups I've ever had when it was just one drawing, but when I posted 30 pages on a wall he didnt have a bad word to say. It's not like I was presenting high art mind you it was just fucking cartoon shit. It's like those fags who read Tales Gets Trolled unironically. Just one page would read as some werid ass DeviantArt kind of autism, but when you take it as a whole it reads different
>>7926696>>792601523, 23, 23. So if i dont make it by 24, its over
>>7920092I wallow in despair at my inability to pull off this quality.
>>7926842It feels painfully reachable too
>>7925881truth
>>7926745Thats a really good point. When its just a page or 2, the arts a bigger part. When its 100 pages, its more the story thats the centre piece
>>7920092>floating heads and boxes>implying I'm drawing anything at allI'm too busy wageslaving 60 hrs/week for that.
>>7920092i think instead of working on my big dream project, i will work on something smaller, that while not achieving my magnum opus that i vision daily in my head, hopefully is something that i enjoy and can give me cash to feed the ultimate project
>>7927763I need him in street fighter
>>7920153>MorallySo you're saying you're mentally on the same level as a 17 y/o? "Oh, I'm not a pedophile! I'm just some stunted, eternally pubescent manchild :D"No wonder you wanna play in the kiddie pool. Freak.
>>792780416 and 17 year olds are not kids lol. stop projecting your pseudomoralist values with fake quotes onto others. tl;dr take your meds
>>7920095>>7926692Hey idiots. Most people waste their twenties- and due to the advent of technology and with no time limit on creative work, most people are in a constant tech induced distracting haze until 30 hits and smacks them with reality then they ween themselves off of entertainment, and get their shit together. It's just another much lame version of drinking and doing drugs in your 20s now you have to work in your 30s. What ever you 'feel' about it isn't going to get the work done, so let them go because they only way you down and get to work.Create a system, deadlines are tools to make things exist, and sticking to a schedule will ease that constant anxiety about what you ought to be doing at the time. (schedules are goals so sometimes you have to work your way up to the ideal one, meet yourself where you're at)
>>7928172>16 and 17 year olds are not kids lolso you do genuinely believe that mentally a 30 year old and a 16 year old have the same mindset and perspectives?
>>7920163ok enrico pucci
>>7928219You should try to get some en rico pussy in life and stop being a little bitch about it.
>>7926015>Kirkman however, he was like 23 when he started Invincible,he's a writer, not an artist
>>7928216thats not the matter at hand, nor is an individuals mindset and perspectives molded by their age but their ambitions you fucking dunce.
>>7928172you'll have to do better than that. of course they are. legally, the government doesn't recognize them as being capable of understanding responsibility and consequence. medically, their brains are far from fully developed, lacking the ability to reason. stop projecting your pedophilic tendencies onto others. tl;dr take your chemical castration meds.>>7931812>gets owned>th-thats not the matter at hand
>>7920092wym? i'm almost done with my "big project", before i move onto an even bigger one, that is...3 more decks just need void space and labels. been working on this for a year or so now...
>>7920092>he doesn't know the purpose of the skills/hobbies i work to develop so hard>he doesn't know that the reasons are above his understandinglol, you guys try, i guess that's why they call you aids, because you try, but fail
