I did my best nonas. I know nothing about thread posting.
No. 485646
>>485643Depends. I usually pay attention only when it's a meme that tickles my fancy, be it funny or creative. After about 5 or so identities cycled through on the net, I have only recently come to realize that just drawing what I like solidifies the fans, rather than attracting tourists to an everchanging gallery that is struggling to stay relevant.
Probably is better to have one central autistic fixation (original or based on something else) in my opinion.

Thanks for making the thread, OP!
>>485643I did a couple in the past, and while I did see more engagement, the biggest problem is that I can't really make something if it doesn't already work with the characters, so I tend to make more original stuff instead.

Picrel is the MC of a RPG Maker game I've been thinking about making for a while and finally forcing myself to get started. It's going to be a retelling of the Seven Little Goats but playing off the already horrific elements in the story (kind of like what the Grimms did with all their stories for no reason), very inspired by Dreaming Mary and Fausts Alptraum. Going for a much more simplified style than usual, still needs tweaking and the very ugly dress is a stand in until I figure out a nice patchwork pattern.

Hey nonnas, do you have any resources/books/videos/anything regarding color theory? I am doing a great job at using art references for anatomy and such, but everytime i try casting a light or shadows i end up feeling like i am colorblind. I get lost in all of it and i don't understand every single thing that i give up by simply adding flat colors and simplyfing my lineart. My friends told me to see light sources and shadows as shapes, but it makes no sense to me even though whenever I use references i divide everything by shape.

>>486619Color theory is one of the hardest things, next to composition, for me to handle personally. I amassed a bunch of tutorials (I will now proceed to spam the thread with) to try and get a grip on it, to no avail. Hopefully it will help you though… (I also tried taking notes that I'll clean up and slap on here at some point)

>>487018I actually REALLY like this idea. I can have the best of both worlds. Strawberry tigers are some of the prettiest animals in the world (to me) and getting to design another one feels fun.
>>487016(fucking choked on my water at your picrel LOL) Yeah. The diversity on tumblr was so sibtle
at first, early 2010s, I made a character based on each zodiac with a bodytype that resembled the animal they embodied. None of the disturbing things we see in today's "diversity" race.
>>487025Thanks! I'll see if I can redraw some more of my tumblr era diversity shit OCs. I remember being obsessed with this variety meme thing
