Samefren. Just thought I'd start off with an actual topic to discuss.

Have any of you nonas ever owned an Artisul tablet? They have some of their models on sale right now and I'm trying to decide if I want to get one. I've heard good reviews about them (no line jitter unlike other non-Wacom tablets, great performance and design), but I've also heard many complaints that they borderline do not function for some people. Is it worth the purchase?

I went to an art school and a lot of the guest teachers were absolutely insufferable and not fit to teach at all. Just there to smell their own farts and gloat at how successful they were, while getting mad nobody understood what they were trying to convey as they couldn't teach for shit. Plus they were usually not that great artists anyways so idk why they had their head stuck up their own asses.

she responded to a comment saying they probably had an assignment to reach out to an artist they like and so a teacher email wouldn’t work.

Says the “problem” is that it puts all the “work” on the freelance artist and who spends all their time working to pay the bills constantly.

But she would be delighted to do a zoom call etc to the whole class? (When more than likely it’s only one student from that class who follows her and emailed her.)

How would that not take up even more time than responding to some email questions?
They’re not gonna pay you for your time to answer the questionnaire with your autobiography, and so definitely not for a guest lecture, so why pretend like you’d be interested and not ToTaLlY oFfEnDeD they want your time for free it it’s oh so valuable?

When you play piano you're supposed to keep your hands and wrists elevated above the keys in a kind of curved shape. That's probably what the teacher was talking about.

sage for venting
>forgot to sage in og post
>posted in the wrong thread

even if i don't care about internet fame and how i'd actually would nuke any of my account reaching over 1k followers, it gets sometimes sad to draw alone

I suck massive balls at socializing and I can count my fans on my fingertips, and my followers on the number of half of my hand. I don't draw fotm or starchildren OC, I don't pretend to be in the alphabet soup, I'm not that attractive so I can't pose in front of my drawing and finally I just have a newgrounds account because it feels less mind numbing than twitter

My problem is that I have mixed feelings about just knowing I'll never be famous and I just have a handful of clients that love my art and give me pocket money for my comm work. The other day, a client called me a hidden gem.

I am afraid of fame, but the lack of fame and seeing that my art has no visibility as I don't go the easy way out aka FoTM and conventional nsfw drawings, I know it's impossible. There's also the fact I refuse my ocs to be an alphabet soup fest to seem so speshuul and inclusive

I also don't want art to be my carreer, but the gaslighting making one believe than high follower count = good is giving me brainworms

>pic rel is a sketch i've done of the dna girl i've seen in gc back then, but i can't find ref of her so she looks like that one egirl from the game where zoomers didn't get the message and larp as her. I'm sorry for my handwriting but I just wanted to post a sketch I drew for nonnas

Honestly, anons, even with my really good lining, imo starting late and my work looking better than my boyfriends (he does NSFW, but will do more degen because he does commissions) and doing not raunchy stuff, but still delving into NSFW with nudity and pinups, just feels so bad when you get like 9 likes. Then you have this ugly lolicon bs commissioned from you BF for $120 and 1000s of likes later… when its sloppy and ugly. Feels so bad sometimes to get no acknowledgement unless you completely do lolicon/shota/degend/cum covered art. Even cute art gets you nowhere now. Its as if all art spaces, including innocent ones, have been overrun by incels and your market no longer exists unless you magically go viral which is incredibly rare. It makes wanting to share not with it when I really do want someone else to like what I made.

Is she the one that ruined an episode of the draftsmen podcast? Marshal was by himself because Stan was on family leave. I think she’s a student of Marshal’s or Stan’s and proceeded to talk about racism and sexism and sjw things that had nothing to do with the topic while saying Marshal was an idiot. Thankfully a lot of people said she was in the wrong but it still left a bad taste because they’re usually neutral and focus on art technique and history. It was a strange ep fr.

Do you have creative friends who also draw/write/make characters and are invested in your work/OCs? I think that's the cure, at least it is for me. I don't use social media at all and art is just a hobby for me, but I have a couple people in my life who are very supportive of me and my stories, and we talk character design and world building all the time, and always share our drawings and wips with each other. It makes the hobby much more fulfilling.
Think more about why you're longing for fame, followers, attention, money, etc. Maybe there's something else in your life or your past that's troubling you, but for some reason you think it would be solved by being a famous artist. Maybe you just need to get off social media, who knows.

Don't know anything about that, but Jisu was sexually abused by a number of big name Smash people while she was still a minor. One of them helped her run her art store, and iirc, when they had a falling out, he had sole legal ownership of the brand and all the artwork under it. Which meant Jisu was no longer able to sell or distribute her own artwork.

She does go through periods where she vanishes for a while or drops projects (the newest nft scandal for instance), but I'd say she's justified in having some mental health problems and PTSD given what she went through for years.

ngl you both need to learn and apply marketing skills. there's plenty of cute/sfw art that gets popular, it just takes different marketing tactics than catering to nsfw niches.

Sucks for her. Was she able to get any legal action against her abusers? If she comes back and then disappears she needs to work on dealing with her past because she’ll be forgotten as an artist soon enough. If she plans to make this her job she’ll need to have support.

I used to have some friends and acquaintances in high school who I could show my art to, and I really miss those days because we would just draw silly shit together and have fun. I was usually the most skilled one but it didn’t even matter because we were just trying to make each other laugh. Now I just have my siblings, and they keep telling me my art is good and that I should get on social media, but I’ve been putting it off because idk if I really want that. I’ve actually started accounts before and made a few posts but it’s nerve racking and feels like too much pressure, and I know it’s not completely rational but I feel like I have to be perfect because I’m exposing myself to the world. It gets to me and then idk what to even draw/post.

I don’t really have an answer, just wanted to vent too. Maybe one day I’ll give it a fair shot, but for now I’ll just enjoy being able to draw whatever/whenever I want with no pressure, even if I do miss the social interaction aspect.

Go over what defines an art style. i.e. How does the artist use color, composition, contrast etc.?
Use the basics to examine examples of the art style you want to adopt.

Is their work romantic? More abstract? Is their line work heavy or fine? Do their shadows tend to be harsh or soft? How do they handle hair, eyes and other features?

Then, use qualities about their work that you discover this way and begin to practice them in your own work either one at a time or at a faster pace if you’re comfortable.

But then they keep starting obviously controversial discourse and making dumbass decisions and they act like the most persecuted people ever, wondering why they deal with so much drama. Plus some are just plain assholes.

I know this is old news but I am just now seeing this and I want to know if I have gone crazy or something.

He doesn't own the tiki drummer character and he's not the original artist who created it. Even the original artist who created it probably doesn't own it, it's owned by Disney. It's wrong for the person who clearly used his actual model to claim it as their own work, but the original "thief" here is the guy who decided to model a character that doesn't belong to him in the first place. Kind of ironic he is so insulting toward the Disney contractor that used the model.

I know people really hate Disney for various reasons but can we please stop pretending that what they do doesn't fall perfectly within the law? Granted, Disney is the reason copyright laws and fair use are the way they are today. That is what people should actually be angry about, the principle of the matter and not the legal aspect of it.
Because legally speaking, this guy has no leg to stand on.

Fan art does not fall under fair use if you make no changes to the copyrighted character etc. to make it effectively not that character anymore. Even IF you make no profit from or do not sell the work. And even if you do make changes, it may not be enough to fall under fair use. There are some grey areas but to put it in black and white terms, you don't have the right to copy the character or IP. A lot of companies just don’t bother to go after fan artists because it’s largely not worth it and can look bad just in principle.
But people are acting like what Disney did was literally illegal and this guy can sue.

He didn't even make any derivative changes to the character. He literally just recreated it in a specific medium, released it for free, and then got mad that Disney made money off of their own character.
If the tiki character belonged to some individual artist online and this guy had done the same thing to them, absolutely nobody would be on his side, even on principle because he directly just copied a character that isn't his. People are just up in arms because this character happens to belong to a large company or a company they already hate.

I recently deactivated my “art Twitter” because of two micromanaging, inappropriate and aggressive commissioners. It’s my fault for getting into these situations considering the fact that I made exceptions for them when I was clearly closed, but it’s worn me down and I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’m never working for musicians who want “AsSetS” again unless I make it strictly clear that I will not be spending time making unpaid revisions.

nonny, I say this with peace and love, you should charge more. I had the same situation as you except with a commissioner wanting me to draw his vtuber design. 5000 changes and he didn't even use the art I made for him. If they are using your art to profit off of (that includes just promotional materials, not merch or anything) you need to charge more. That will chase away the people who aren't serious or don't have a real idea in mind. If I charge a reg person $75 I'd charge a musician using it as an asset $200 for the same work, for example.

It’s Disney’s character, it’s their IP sure, but the person who stole it is themselves someone who already works with Disney. They were so lazy they had to take the hours of labor from another person and pass it as their own work, that’s the real underlying problem. Imagine gaslighting someone into thinking they are being bitter for pointing out that they essentially took a product that someone else created it, spent their own time and money to find the materials and make something out of it and did a scummy thing by passing it as your own laborious creation. In the fake barbie world of capitalism you would think these hue companies would pretend to be hiring these people for their “original” work but no. You’re trying way too hard to be a contrarian for something that most people don’t give a shit about, no one ever said the law argues in the basis of ethics and that is why he likely will never receive any sort of compensation for this. I don’t know why people like you think it’s productive to always defend the clear shitty person in the situation, maybe to make yourself seem like an independent freethinker but at some point you’re just going to have to shut the fuck up and realize you are focusing on the wrong thing.

The amount of commissions I've got where someone gave me a reference of their character and then said "but draw them in this style" and linked to an artist with a completely different style than me was enough to make me quit commissions. The artist they linked to would always be some insanely talented professional who either didn't do commissions or priced them extremely high.

It amazes me what hot garbage takes off and gets promoted on Webtoon. This looks like a 12 year old with a how to draw anime book made it. The content over quality meme is too real. It pisses me off because I have a friend who works her ass off on a great web series and is an amazing artist, but she barely gets any recognition over fetish service like this. It's shit like this that makes her wanna quit

This feels like a trans person who is living out how easy a transition could be in an ideal setting, but the fact he just liked dressing up as a girl and not the trans aspect, except the flag and probably nod towards it, feels extremely fetishy and less like it's a fantasy for transition and instead a fantasy for wanting to be a sissy.

Seems like using the guise of trans women to bypass people second guessing the fetish aspect of just dressing up as a girl.

I should've checked beforehand, but it feels a bit of both. I guess the character is trans, but the way the person writes the synopsis and title makes it sound like it's possibly a low-key fetish. I didn't read everything, but I skimmed a few pages and read some comments and they are trans in the comic, so maybe it is a fantasy of an ideal transition situation?

Webtoon is such a cesspool of the same shitty gimmicks and low effort consumable storytelling that teens eat up. None of the comics worth reading are mainly on webtoon. If you want to read "overly long story title, but with a twist gimmick" comic no.343, you'll love webtoons.

sorry if this gets asked often. I only check this thread occassionally so I don't remember what others have said to this particular thing, especially because i was not interested in knowing anyway, so i probably filtered all that out of my brain. Anyway, how long does a full drawing take good artists? fully coloured, background, lighting, everything. I have problems sitting on the same thing for long because i feel slower than others, when I'm probably not. Does it take days?? I want to start something big but i have no idea when to give up

I'm a "fast" artist or so people around me always told me that, since I'm able to finish a fully rendered piece in a handful of hours if I feel like it.

That however comes at the price of my health, so nowadays I stopped being a "fast artist" and I try to purposefully take a day or two to finish my art for the sake of my own body. It's also good because by taking a longer time to finish a piece, I get to pick up mistakes I failed to notice earlier.

Basically? I'd say it heavily depends on the person. I've known artists who are as fast as I am, and others who need weeks to finish something. Plus, I wouldn't say that being "fast" is a good thing speaking from my own experience.

Personal tip, You shouldn’t compare times with artists because it’ll really drain you. Some artists with high details/realistic work can take less than 4 hours (or even 10-20 mins) while others take a whole day or even more. Same with artists with shit art.
With that said, try to work at your own pace. Just because you “work fast”, doesn’t or shouldn’t mean that you’re better as an artist

because these are drawings, not real women. real women don't need breasts, or soft faces, and there can be women in all shapes, but like you simplify for animation, there is a commonly understood separation between male/female anatomy when it comes to art.

men and women are different, and if an artist wants to exaggerate certain features to create androgyny, they better be skilled enough to do it right, or it'll just look like the opposite sex. slapping on she/her pronouns doesn't make the drawing look like a woman lol

Honestly that one isn't that bad. You can see her lines became less chicken scratchy (or at least she actually cleans them up) and those white lines were kinda dumb and random. Acatcie specifically had other re-draws that were posted in past threads and were way worse. She also had redraw posts where it was extremely obvious the "old" post was fake and made specifically so she could make a fake re-draw but still managed to look better than the "newer" one.
She hasn't posted in a huge while tho, so I feel it's kinda beating a dead horse to even mention her.

She's not popular because of coomers, she has almost 500k followers on instagram because her art has an aesthetic that appeals to the people on there. Everyone knows that artists who limit themselves to a certain palette or style will grow big followings because people like seeing the same or similar things over and over.

I keep wanting to just give my natural hair color and eye color but I end up overthinking about it too much since it's my OC that I am drawing. How do people even figure out what haircolor to give to their OC that will be their mascot?!?! It's so silly, I know.

I always think about personality and the feel of a design before even matching a face, height, outfit, color scheme. Someone who is self conscious and shy wouldnt wear skin tight clothing in bright colors. Money plays a role too because if they arent rich they wont be wearing designer, but if they know how to sew theres a possibility of interesting outfits. Time period and location play a role too. Steampunk vs cyberpunk sort of thing. Put them in a role of power or none, their economic class, how that has shaped their life, the hobbies, if they like or resent their life and parents, what kind of person it made them.

Her art is average at best and she only makes banks because she's open being a woman drawing le fucked up porn, shows her tits and advertise herself for having an onlyfans.

She also looks like the kind of onlyfan girl to claim oh how the other girls are soooo vanilla and I'm betting my hand her porn is at most a pathetic dildo like peenus angelic does it lol. I'm also betting my other hand she looks as haggard as Manaknight without a filter.

Do just like nonnie here >>1263328

Make the character the most gender critical character on earth to make trannies seethe and cry about it when they put your character as their pfp and learn the actual origin of it.

On a serious note. Pastel characters are too overdone and limiting yourself to a palette is why all OCs are all unique yet all the same, generate a random palette instead if you're autistic about it.

Araki taught me how a good character doesn't need an actual fixed and curated color palette to look good. A good design is also about the shape and silhouette of the character, how their personality and story sparks in how you draw them. The color is just like the cherry on top of it.

It does have issues with fucking up when you do multiple posts like that. otherwise he can be asleep and it'll post for him and stuff, but tbh, twitter itself does still have a time function, so you can schedule you're own posts yourself. The only other thing I think is useful, which is the only reason I share his account and we are connected, is that it has told me what time I get the most engagement to post. It's like 7am. Which fucking sucks, but tbh, unless someone around 11am or something finally reblogs it, I don't get much traction because no one is fucking awake that early and regardless, people will see it if you reblog at the right times, so the time to post thing is pretty useless.

Thats fine and dandy for them, but the actual tweet doesn't have that context just from looks alone, so I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be taken as "BLANK couple dynamic" and "does anyone agree??". The "I shouldn't so this" also refers to big dicks which is a common trope that comes with this size different dynamic.

Just because it doesn't have that context to you doesn't mean that's not what it's about. If the OP of that tweet is someone likes loli, I think it's safe to assume that's what that "ship dynamic" tweet was about too. You and the other anon(s) need to stop taking it so personally because of your own kinks or relationships. Nobody said you can't like size differences and no one is attacking what you guys like.

I feel like social media is ruining my will to do art. I keep trying to come up with things to draw for big fandoms, like genshin and the like, because I see how easy it is to garner attention there with even the crappiest of doodles. But drawing that stuff, whilst it satisfies my attention needy ego, drains me. In reality all I want to draw is my OCs and fanart for a relatively obscure game (it's popular in CN platforms but virtually unheard-of in ENG-speaking ones…), but I know from experience that That won't get me any more than maybe 5 likes on twitter if I'm lucky… people say that it's best to draw whatever you want rather than follow trends, but it's so demotivating when you spend hours on something only for it to be completely overlooked, whilst crappy art gets loads of attention just because it caters to the fandom of Popular Anime Husband #2433635. I know there are big artists who only draw original content, but usually it's either a case of them having God-tier art skills, or spending every day marketing their OCs and keeping up with every art meme trend ever…

No. 1275444

>>1275339
You could try a mix of those if you can manage or focus your attention on pieces that matter to you and sometimes post doodles of popular subjects because it's relatively easy to get attention for those fandoms as you said. You really shouldn't draw only for social media attention though, especially if it's twitter where one thing can blow up and reach 20k likes while the rest of your stuff stays below 1k. It'll make you hate your art because the less liked pieces will start to seem worse to you even if they aren't. You might grow resentful of your followers for not liking your new posts or for overlooking something you thought was sure to hit. It's a lot more fulfilling to draw for yourself or a small group of people that will actually care about and engage with it. Don't stress out about social media unless you depend on it for money and draw the things you and your friends like

Nothing against you anon, but I never understood this mindset. Assuming you draw merely as a hobby and you don't want to make a career out of it, why should the attention you get on social media influence how you feel about drawing? Don't you do it because you find it fun? I don't post 90% of the stuff I make, so I don't get any likes or followers from it and I still draw because I simply enjoy it. Draw what you want and have a good time. If your art getting no more than 5 likes makes you not want to draw, don't post it. You don't have to. You can and should separate your enjoyment of a hobby from the attention it can get you.

This will be based on my very limited experience, but I hope it helps you in some way. The best way to learn things, including fundamentals is to struggle with them a bit first. Try drawing what you want to draw, it will look like absolute shit in the beginning but slowly you'll understand what you need to study more. The reason everyone insists on fundamentals is because you keep coming back to them all the time, you never learn them 100% in one go. I have always learned better when I tried applying fundamentals to what I want to draw, I realize which ones I was the worst at, then went back to them, then tried again… repeat. When studying from courses, videos whatever, avoid the same artist, school etc, I lost count how many times I heard the same explanation but in different ways, for some reason that little difference was enough to make me finally understand things. My final tip is to look for how graphic designers use gestalt, composition, color. They tackle the same ideas we need to deal with while drawing but usually with more simple elements, which personally made me understand the concepts much easier than looking at master's art explanations of the same concepts, but maybe I am just dumb. Do a study from an artist you like, even if you fail it will be worth as practice. Do them in black and white in the beginning so it's a bit easier and don't worry if turn out terrible, I know plenty of people who are amazing, true references in their fields, but they still are rarely happy with what they create. Creating is a weird experience of never being satisfied, always striving to do better, you need to fall in love with the process, the result is almost never as satisfying.

Speaking as a zoomer who took classes with a lot of these "prodigies", you'd be surprised by how many resources and art supplies they have at their fingertips. Knew a girl who called herself self-taught when both her parents were artists and let her attend figure drawing classes since age 12. Knew another girl who got expensive, professional-grade art supplies every other month while still in grade school. All of them seemed to live very comfortable and responsibility-free lives allowing them only to focus on art, and they've probably been at it for a much longer time than you were ever afforded, Nona.

>In fact, most of them are so privileged that they complain of having trauma from being "young and gifted".

No. 1279461

Something else to keep in mind is how there is this double-standard when it comes to skills related to art and skills with other activities: people in regards to art act as if this skill is only due to natural talent, but accept that other skills require practice. I mean, people accept that athletes practice, so they're being dense in thinking that the same shouldn't be extended to art. And these teenagers who appear to be surpassing older people had the fortune to have the access to a ton of resources older people didn't have, but even then, teenagers have had to practice. And many skills you can pick up at just about any age, including making art. So don't take it to heart that there's teens who are surpassing you or many other older artists in their skills.

Kek it doesn't matter what race draws asians with those eyes since it doesn't change the fact some Asians do have those eyes. Ofc there are racial caricatures but that issue won't be fixed by demonising any artist who just draws a certain ethnic feature, twittards have such black and white thinking. And then when they're not whining that you should only draw your own race, they're attacking artists for not drawing other races. Pick a struggle. Well I would say they should stop self imposing struggles to perform online by seeing racism when it isn't there, because there's enough actual racism around as it is, but they aren't ready for that.

But then again this post is referring to a artist that was in hot water earlier this year or last year about two white artists which would give their asian characters yellow skin, and only these eyes. One of them then drawing nsfw with all these all three features which came off as… and then the icing on the cake of having no self awareness was that they slanted up the eyes to a unnatural degree.

And if I recall, all their non Asian characters never had these eyes, it wasn’t just centered around these artists in the meme, there was broadly a wider discussion on why do non Asian artists often fixate on this one stereotypical appearance.

It was a mess. I don’t think it’s inherently bad tor non Asians to draw those eyes but so many of the artists who bite the concepts from random aesthetics Pinterest accounts have no self awareness or tact.

Also, while I wouldn’t do it personally, reclaiming aspects of the imagery as a Asian is very, very different contextually from drawing narrow eyes, yellow skinned Asian characters from a non Asian, while not all, a East Asian drawing themselves as yellow, though this is a hyper specific context. In short, it’s super, super, super easy to just draw these eyes and not be a weirdo.

What one artist considers a doodle isn't going to be the same as what another artist considers a doodle.

But if this is an artist that spends 40, 50 hours on finished pieces then something quick that only takes them an hour IS a doodle for them. It's about the amount of effort spent.

I don't understand the anger that comes from an artist who called their unfinished work 'doodles'. Sorry it's not all scribbles? How do anons thing charcoal artists doodle? They work in sometimes broad strokes, and create forms, but that also creates depth due to the overlapping of the charcoal.

Slightly OT but I’m always surprised by how long digital artists think is normal to spend on art. I think if you aren’t like full on oil painting or doing some large commission for big money then anything around or over 10 hours (unless you count like conceptualiIng, thumbnails, and color studies which lets be real most digital artists getting commissions aren’t doing) is fucking insane. I just assume they suck at art.

No. 1282313

this. most hobbyist digital artists just immediately start sketching and skip most of the steps that actually take up time, i've reached the point that when i see someone say that they needed +10 hours or days to finish a piece that doesn't even have a detailed background i just imagine that they're either shit at art or they're lazy. digital art has so many shortcuts to buy time that if you need that long to finish a simple piece then admit you're just bad.

No. 1282318

>>1282313
As a digital artist, it looks like it takes less time just because we are able to backspace and undo. you don't get the luxury in normal art. You can buy all the brushes and everything you want, but that won't make you good at art digitally. The same way the brushes don't mimic real brushes. For traditional I usually like watercolor and colored pencils and that takes a while, but with digital I don't have to worry about drying time and I can fix any bleeds easily. You do still need to have some grasp of color, form.. It's not a 1:1 and you can tell, when anons post, just how bad those shortcuts just looped together look. I would say digital photography has more of the easy editing.

No. 1282334

Oh I fully agree. I don't have the attention span to spend more than 10 hours on a complex, finished piece. Even 5 hours is pushing it. Most of my drawings take me less than one or two hours, because I get sick of looking at them.

I know people draw at different rates, but if you're spending 15 hours painstakingly drawing a sketch and lineart and it looks equivalent to something someone else could finish in two hours, your process is very inefficient.

No. 1282336

That's what thumbnailing is for, but we all know most twitter artists don't do these and just bruteforce their art process into completion. like >>1282334 said, if you need over 15 hours to finish a piece that doesn't even have a proper background or any detail that may justify lots of time, then youre process is horribly inefficient. Or maybe you just suck.

Sometimes I wonder if people just don’t know all the shortcuts that are available to them. For a long time, I didn’t because I didn’t watch many tutorials on art programs or digital art in the beginning, just to tried to navigate it myself. I do feel there are some shortcuts that almost feel like cheating and I don’t like using those so some steps can take a little longer (I’m an intermediate artist though, someone much better could probably do it much more quickly than me). Some people have a tendency to over-render things too and end up putting more and more time in when it’s not needed. Sometimes efficiency is just something people have to work at, whether you use shortcuts or not. I do agree the other anons are being a bit harder on beginners or people newer to using digital art programs. If you’ve been at it for a long time and are good at fundamentals though, I don’t think it should take an exorbitant amount of time unless you’re just have a problem with perfectionism/the over-rendering thing. It’s good to know when to stop.

as someone who used to do this back in the good old deviantart days, its probably because theyre insecure about their art. if someone says it looks like shit, you can just answer "well its just a doodle haha its not supposed to be good", or if the opposite happens, its an ego boost because "if this is just a doodle, then you must be a really good artist!!1!". it takes a bit more courage to say that the product you present is the best you can do and put a lot of effort into it, because then when you receive criticism it hurts a lot more.

Not that the JP art scene isn't w/o its problems, but I think it's because lots of them come from a place where drawing as a hobby is genuinely appreciated from within, so improving your artwork just to draw your favorite characters better is a drive many adopt. Combine that with how their fandom culture isn't as politicized as ours, and you get stuff that's coming from the heart, untainted and free.

Back in the day most pixel art was made in paint. Not really a brag? Some people like the aesthetic of having the UI of the art program in their posts. Or they're too lazy to actually save and upload and a screenshot is faster. People do it with sketches and paintings too.

Artists who do the same with detailed paintings are obviously humblebragging, but at the same time I can’t help but be impressed anyway.

Is it sideways? I thought the pic on the right has better shading and color blocking compared to the original.

There isn't a ton of improvement and maybe I'm blind, but I can see a better grasp of fundamentals in the second pic compared to the first.

nta but I had never thought about it like this and you're absolutely right! The Japanese scene fully allows you to focus on creating art with anime characters and whatever self-indulgent themes you want while the western scene is still so deep in the old masters and the fundamentals of classical art, even outside of art school, that people don't take things like fanzines seriously. Dignity and expression has to be saved for pretentious studies and polished art pieces, not for silly comics and cartoons.

Have you tried your local art center or gallery. Some of them have open exhibits and you can apply? Always worth a shot.
You can also volunteer for charity auctions and do ornaments for exposure at the holidays to help raise money for a good cause too. If you have a portfolio take it to your local coffee shops and see if they’d be willing to hang your pieces. If you have a Facebook list commissions in the marketplace. Basically get into your local community that’s always how I’ve made money.

You’re welcome anon. Another is local fairs and competitions. It gets you out in front of people who like traditional art and lets you network and talk to people. It’s a place you can give people a link to a portfolio and you’re contact info.
I’d say anything that lets you submit go for it. There’s also a lot of online ezines. Some pay. Some for free but you can submit personal pieces that fit the themes and see what comes out. Being published looks good when negotiating for more corporate stuff later. The more you do for people the more stuff spreads word of mouth too.

Yep, and I want to make money from my stuff too if not make a career out of it, though I'm not sure how realistic the second one is with traditional art unless you have good contacts.

Like the other nona said getting involved in local things is a good start, I'm currently making an updated portfolio to show local galleries, and just random pieces to sell at fairs. With galleries keep in mind costs like commission fees, it varies by gallery and some can get pretty high, though there is one near me that charges 0 commission and charges wall space rent instead.

I used too. I got pretty big in a niche tumblr circle. Doing traditional style portraits of characters in groups there wasn’t that type of art but it was mostly because I loved the content I was drawing and it showed. Authenticity always got me attention. Striving for it it didn’t. Social media is partially selling yourself to people and partly feeding the algorithm what it wants but it can burn you out pretty quick. Instagram was always so saturated I could get views but not a lot of sells there. Tumblr people were willing to talk and I could get commissions. If you’re good with people you can always try teaching kids at your local art center or homeschool co-ops. You might be able to make a chunk of money that way too. I ended up with two classes at a homeschool co-op and one at the local art center I co-taught and it was great. It also gave me access to the studio at the center for free every week.

Her art must not pull as much as she wishes it could, because no artist who actually runs a healthy business has time to spend on this bullshit. I think this is just her marketing strategy at this point.
Bitch and whine about haters, then when things are too quiet, stir up more shit with more asinine tweets she has nothing to do with just to stay relevant.

Almost none of the proportions in her figures are good. He looks mutated.

There's no way she would've gotten the attention she did if she didn't draw genshit or interact with its screaming teen fandom. She'd have otherwise been overlooked.

Teens need to be monitored online but the way she's so reactionary to their heckling leads me to believe she fully expects it so she gets more eyes on her work because it makes her look like an 'underdog'.. not because her art is actually any good, because let's be real; nobody follows her for that.

> At least with yaoi shota has never actually reached the mainstream.
the very first yaoi was shota that was inspired by a 14 years old boy actor and it was extremely popular during the 80's/90's, if you search hentai sites you can check most of the yaoi magazines used to be shota too. The very first yaoi VN to be translated to english was also shota. Stop pretending like Japanese fujos give a crap about loli, most of them are equally if not more degenerate than the moids.

Yes. It's been discussed in multiple threads on Lolcow and anon >>1286208 linked the two best English language resources about it. Basically women were dominating Comiket with their bishounen and BL works and men felt threatened, so they created loli porn to drive women out but so many men were attracted to it the meme turned into an actual widespread genre. It's why Comiket now has separate days for female and male works.

>>1286190
The "shota" in fujoshit is some "vaguely teenaged twink" nowhere near comparable to moid lolicon with toddlers and elementary school kids, it's not even teenage girls they're attempting to portray but actual prepubescent children under 12. The actual shota is 90% of the time created by men who are so deep into their hate of women they don't even consider them worthy of their greasy dicks and instead replace them with little boys to abuse. And you can tell they're only attracted to lolicon for the misogyny since the entire genre started from such a spiteful way of trying to assert dominance over women who were doing nothing more than minding their own business.

Fujos are fucking degenerate too, there is a HUGE south park community there and it's purely because of the shota characters, a better comparison is yaoi versus yuri, where yuri is mostly just girls giggling and being ''cute uwu tehehe'' while yaoi is filled with rape and angsty scenarios, comiket was never ''invaded'' by moids, it just grew as anime and manga became bigger and more popular.

Just a correction: lolicon was already an underground phenomenon but it was when the Comiket scrotes started to promote it so aggressively out of spite that it truly became popular (the "lolicon boom"), later resulting in it becoming mainstream. Before that, pedo otaku moids were already sexualizing the little girls in anime such as Ghibli films.
>The "shota" in fujoshit is some "vaguely teenaged twink" nowhere near comparable to moid lolicon with toddlers and elementary school kids
True. More explicitly pedophilic shotacon, with pre-adolescent boys, is very rare in fujo spaces. Although it used to be way less frowned upon, at least in the west, to ship/draw underage teen boys with adults.

>do you have proof? so far I haven't seen proof of it
Picrel taken straight from the second link here >>1286208 is proof (testimony from the scrote who started it) that the moids deliberately promoted lolicon at Comiket out of spite.
From the same article:
>in the 1995 Comiket and one other dōjinshi market in 1993, female and male participants tend to socialize separately. As minority participants, males that enjoy erotic dōjinshi depicting cute girl characters were viewed with suspicion by female participants that enjoy yaoi.
That was in 1995, as noted in the article, three years later there was a bit more friendly interaction between the two groups, but at least up until 1995, about a decade after the lolicon boom, women at Comiket still "viewed [the pedo scrotes] with suspicion".

Sounds a whole lot like the retarded bad faith act generalizing being described. You can pretend like there's some grand goal of extubating pedos but in the end it's just being mad over women liking something that has nothing any average piece of media doesn't by attempting to draw reaching parallels with drawn child porn created by degenerate, misogynist males seething over women succeeding them in popularity.

my point is not hard to understand, it seems like you just want to feel like the victims.

If you are going to call lolifags pedos(which they are) but want to defend fujos that have been making rape/shota/incest, etc then you have a serious case of double standards.

That's true, but yaoi comes from shoujo/josei (I forgot). They're not completely separate, stop acting like they are. Compared to straight manga porn for women, yaoi is much more popular. A lot of fujos (not all) like yaoi because they can see explicit, violent, dark or taboo content without having to see women suffer.
And shoujo is rarely, if ever, explicit. Besides, no one is denying that shoujo also is plagued with rapey or pedophilic themes that basically teach girls that they should let older men abuse them. But just because shoujo is shitty too doesn't mean that yaoi can't be criticized for its own issues.

Abusive relationships in shoujo are discussed from time to time (see: manga thread) and barely no one tries to defend it, and everybody here agrees that scrotes are pedophiles and lolicon men are despised by all of us and we all talk about it all the fucking time in case you're blind.

I definitely agree that saying that fujos are as bad or worse than lolicon males is just plain wrong. I just hate how every time one of the anti-fujos spergs out, fujos will also sperg out, denying that there's anything wrong with yaoi or that shotafag fujos exist and insulting non-fujos for liking het content for some fucking reason, just deflecting any sort of criticism and trying to change the subject to het content, instead of addressing the actual points or just NOT replying to the anti-fujo.
Also I do think that Paki-chan is a hypocrite and a retard for simping for Varg. But she's not the only one who criticizes yaoi.

I'm not aware of any such yaoi manga being published back then in the 70s or 80s; on the other hand, the lolifags were proud of having published a whole magazine full of "taboo themes" and that loli was "a forbidden genre at the time". I doubt BL authors from that era have talked about doing something similar. And despite the more degenerate fujo content in later years (a lot of which borrows from scrote porn, by the way, so it's not like these women became that degenerate without male influence), I don't think fujos are "as bad as" male coomers.
Still, please understand that I'm not saying that fujos aren't degenerates and coomers. They absolutely are, at least the ones who consume the explicit stuff. But saying that they're as bad as degenerate men is just wrong (some especially degenerate fujos might be, but most of them are definitely not).

Saying "there are problematic elements to BL" is like saying "there are problematic elements to high fantasy" because Game of Thrones overuses rape as a plot device despite many other books focusing on anything but. From posting outdated early 00's series to not even knowing what the story content in them actually is it's pretty clear that you have no personal experience with the genre and instead rely your entire outlook on second hand information. What can be said about that? I'm sorry that Gravitation's mangaka drew a smutty doujin when the actual series is a story about adult pop bands and the lead singer falling in love with no graphic sex scenes at all? That there's one visual novel with graphic rape scenes? What's the purpose in that?

To recap, the entire infight spawned from one sperg basically claiming that "fujos have no business talking shit about the lolicons who drew child porn to spite them because they're just as bad" with nothing to really back it up besides "there are some fujos that like shota" while it's a well known fact that shota as a genre is almost entirely created and dominated by the same pedophilic men who love loli or limped their dicks masturbating to it to the point they had to break the next taboo. But because Paki-chan in particular is so hung up on Kaze to ki no uta's mangaka taking inspiration from Björn Andrésen's looks for one of her characters she's set on this tard crusade about how the basis of BL is pedophilic rape indistinguishable from a bunch of misogynistic moids who drew animals raping prepubescent girls to scare off women. And of course people similar to her grab any opportunity to join her in this retardation with arguments that boil down to "fujos annoy me so they must be morally bankrupt".(derailing)

It's ridiculous that some of you really have the audacity to agree with an autistic pakistani neet girl (who posts her grandma and brother on lolcow) that's so deep into her handmaidenry that she seethes every time other women do something the poor white moids don't like. If you want to discuss the origins of some genres in manga, at least know what you're talking about instead of going "this thing totally has pedophilia in it because I say so!!

Scrotes just cope about everything women like which doesn't serve them. Not a fujo, but anti-fujos are mega retarded to not see it as scrotes coping about being the actual pedo sex.

Anyway… here's some art to whine about.

Tiri's stubborn refusal to use refs or study anatomy is really stagnating her art. Rather than improving, the awkward parts of her style have just gotten more pronounced and every post is uglier than the last. They've all got tiny heads on thick necks with vacant fish-eyed stares and beach balls stapled to their chests.

No. 1286802

>>1286783
She draws cartoons. What wrong with this? It's not supposed to be a 1:1 human anatomy because it's cartoony. The neck looks like a normal neck you'd see on someone anyway. It's not massively thick and it's not overly long. It looks anatomical. The boob is sloped, you can tell and it's overall just slightly exaggerated from human form. Your post sounds pretty vendetta based.

For someone who is "so unbothered by the haters", she spends an awful lot of energy catering to and feeding their egos and justifying every little thing she does.

Like I said before, this is just her marketing campaign at this point because on its own her art is lackluster. Nobody really follows her for her art. And she'll keep doing it because that's her strategy to stay relevant.

Unironically, go outside and touch grass. Get off the internet and try drawing outside, in a cafe, etc. You don't even need to draw the things around you (though that also helps), but being in a different environment can help you get naturally inspired. Nothing is truly original, but if you actively practice trying to find inspiration outside of other artists your brain will find it a lot easier to do in the future.
Also be careful with how inspired you get by other artists, because before you know it you'll just end up cloning them.

This definitely is becoming the vendetta thread. I’ve seen her art on my ig feed a lot of times and there’s nothing that special about her work. As women our bodies have become commodified even in the art space so basically no one would give the slightest fuck if she drew something with more integrity and meaning and I’m pretty sure she knows this. A lot of these artists are capable of making art pieces that are beyond “pretty wahmen” with same body syndrome, it’s just what responds well to their own social media engagement sadly. Everyone is all talk about wanting to see more “representation” of women without balloon titties and plastic porn face proportions.

not to defend japan, or any country for that matter, wherever men live there's a high risk of rape/sexual assault of girls

but child beauty pageants are glorified in the usa, it's the same shit, arguably worst because girls as young as 3 are caked on with heavy makeup. anyone with a hate boner for japan but doesn't get equally as angry at the sexualization of girls by westerners come across as lowkey racist.

A part of me used to feel bad for her because she was getting harassed irl at conventions but I lost all my sympathy when she kept feeding into the negative attention. Now she's suddenly identifying as a 'transmasc enby' to deflect criticism. Her excuse for drawing femboy shota porn now is that it gives her 'gender euphoria'. It's pathetic.

It's called Mias and Elle. IIRC, it took the author, Jenny Clements, almost ten years to write, develop, and publish the story. The characters used to be VERY popular on DeviantArt and it was impossible not to see them on the front page. I never understood their appeal. The moid is supposed to be a pervert so he's always creeping on the girl.

I can see Holly being inspired by Mias and Elle though. It's been around forever and Holly probably would've enjoyed the story's rapey undertone.

I know that sometimes woke types will draw characters uglier for woke points but these drawings just look like lack of skill. They probably just appreciated SNK actually drawing noses with structure but just need some more practice to be able to pull it off nicely.
First one is bad stylisation it would probably look decent if it weren't for the weird glabella, and second one is just failed attempt at realism. I think Occam's razor says not everything is done ugly on purpose.

An aside, and this feels mean to say, but the second one reminds me of one of the girls from the big bang theory kek

Well anon you should be. I hope this dumb fucking bitch dies and the dogshit doujin artist she shills in that picture dies even harder. They are both horrendous, disgusting pick me pig artists that draw art to pander to their coomer scrote audience. These women have no self-respect or dignity, all they draw is young boys being raped and defiled to satisfy their scrotes. They claim it's their fetish and while that might be true to some degree (because of how twisted they are), they're also very much doing it for monetary gain and male attention.
I expect this disgusting coomer behavior from men, but not from women. This is completely sick and twisted behavior and it will NEVER, EVER be okay. I don't care if this stupid bitch claims that her therapist thinks drawing young boys being brutally raped is a "healthy coping mechanism" for her CPTSD. They are both completely full of shit and there is no fucking excuse for this abhorrent shit. NO EXCUSES.

She drew a ton of porn of sexy GLaDOS and human Wheatley, Dala from fallout 3, Sucre from Off, and other really obscure characters she treated as self inserts.

It could be someone else, but it's unlikely there's two people out there so obsessed with a minor fallout character that they'd build their entire identity around a human design that was only ever canonically shown in a single grainy photograph. Her art style has changed so much and I don't have any of her old art to compare, but her interests and other handles are similar to names she used when we were friends: She used to go by Milk/Milku and, I think, Pearl for a while.

What game? I hate it too but some artists are trying to find their style through exaggeration. However not knowing either character they stand out for being really ugly. The bottom one looks particularly slow, like an old design of the bigger stupid brute archetype.

Elden ring. rennala (top one) is conventionally attractive (she's a queen and whatnot) while the blonde one's main characteristic is that she's kind of weird looking and also a shapeshifter.

If I had seen the drawing without knowing who it was supposed to be, I would have thought it was a male character. I think it's just due to lack of skill and that the artist will get better with time. The problem is usually that artists who practise and get better start taking advice from coomer tutorials and turn what was potentially interesting and unattractive characters into the soft and feminine features we see on instagram all the time. I'd love to find a tutorial that explains how to draw a masculine or ugly woman without just drawing a male face with long hair.

the difference here is stylization. anime girls/boys don't look like japanese people, so why do the black people in anime get stylized with big noses and lips and weird round eyes??? they should be stylized like an anime character, but they're not. that's why it's racist.

there are black people stylized correctly in anime, it's not hard. won't give excuses for professionals.

i’m pretty sure all of the characters in the show are mixed to some degree, there’s always been a massive japanese population in brazil due to immigration and the show reflects that (which would also explain why they all have japanese first names and western last names)

also all races are drawn realistically in this show. for example hatchin, her dad, and her adoptive family are white, and most of the characters she and michiko run into are black or hispanic. the difference is some characters are conventionally attractive. having an ugly or normal looking character isn’t racism

Adding to what other anon said you can try grid method, in art school I had an teacher that had us make a physical frame out of cardboard and strings, it can help - but only in the beginning, because it can become a crutch otherwise. Good practice would be also to plan out objects you're drawing in simplified forms just focusing on composition, so for example instead drawing a skull, bottle and vase just draw a square and two rectangles, focusing only on their relative sizes and placements, and only then go to planning out details of actual shapes.

It feels like a really hard thing to find, but maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Does this interest you?

No. 1297267

>>1297258
It definitely does interest me, but don’t show the body of the woman too much because actually straight women are bothered by seeing titty everywhere kek. It’s very rare to see such content but has a lot of unexplored profit so you could delve into it. Oh and also, there’s a ton of coomer “art” for men with the self-insert males being absolutely disgusting fat middle aged pigs, but I’ve never seen that done with women. Maybe you could make the women ungodly looking also, it feeds into the femdom degradation for me.

Thank you for the encouragement and advice! I was thinking similarly regarding how I depict women, moreso considering very average looking clothed women; or even the thing that hentai does, which is where they dont even give the man a face so the male reader can self-insert (but do that with the female characters) I just generally like the idea of making art that is only hot to women and that men will find frustrating or confusing. Also heavy emphasis on female POV.

No. 1297335

>>1297279
If you draw a variety of different face shapes, bodies and looks you won't have to make a faceless woman, as it can kind of work against your intention (scrotes love an illustrated woman who's just a pair of boobs and legs with no face, after all). I love the idea of them being clothed and average looking. Doesn't have to be anything extreme either. Just a woman enjoying herself while the man is just there to serve her and make sure she's pleased.

I disagree to an extent. I blame the vertical scrolling format. Before webtoon, webcomics usually (but not always) had a standard comic page layout format, and artists would update maybe a couple times a week which, while still difficult, was a lot more manageable. Webtoon-style comics becoming the norm has started forcing artists to churn out 100+ drawings/pages a week to meet their weekly update quota. And producing the required quantity on a short deadline means the overall quality of the art and story suffers for it.

Sure, there's shortcuts in digital art, but a lot of webcomic creators are younger people fresh out of high school or college that don't understand that they need to pace themselves or push back against the sites that are hiring them and advocate for their own wellbeing.

It's concerning how many webtoon artists need to take extended breaks because they're injuring their wrists at 19 years old.

Yes, I’ve seen it happen to a few people and they seem to have done ok. One was a semi-popular artist but was reworking her story at the time. When she gave info about her characters one question was shipping and she shut it down. There didn’t seem to be any backlash. The other said this is her canon but you can imagine whatever you want and that had some drama because people want to spite her. If you ignore it they’ll leave. The others I’ve seen come out the gate with it (everyone is lbgtv++lmao) or have a few ‘unique’ characters so no one can accuse them.
Personally I’d rather just make the characters and ignore people. They’re going to ship what they want but if your story is good they’ll leave you alone eventually. I don’t really think you want fujos and shippers as your audience if that’s not your intent to start so don’t worry about it.

No. 1297966

You should hope this would happen as it's inevitable part of having a very succesful release. Most of the indie scene never gets this kind of attention though so you are far more likely to ship a game that will have a small following, good reviews and no interest otherwise.

No. 1297986

>>1297612
also an indie dev and I feel like that only happens if 1. you get super popular 2. you fostered that sort of audience in the first place.
Underage fans are usually the worst and most likely to turn on you, but it's pretty easy to avoid them if your story is more "mature" and isn't as self-insert-y (kids are really into choosing their pronouns, character creation and having tons of tiny choices that don't matter).
Your style/subject matter might still attract people like this even if you don't encourage it (things like death games WILL attract kids no matter what, any sort of tumblr sexy man or coomer design will too), but I find that how you interact with your players really affects who stays and how they treat you/your game. Don't spend all day answering asks on tumblr (doing it sometimes is good and it's passive marketing, but I've seen devs who answered them constantly get backlash when they contradicted themselves/didn't answer as many as usual because players felt entitled to their time), don't change important things in your game to accommodate people (like people asking for a different gender/pronoun choice for your protag if you have one; I just say "no" when asked and people don't ask again), don't publicly engage with politics/devs who are political. Generally the more public you are and the more of your personal time you give to players/other devs (like by being in dev discords/having a discord for your game, answering asks on tumblr), the more people might get weird because they feel entitled to your time and attention. Replying to players' comments and networking with devs is good, but keep a polite distance and just ignore weird/pushy people.
Good luck nonnie and don't worry too much!

Kel Lauren is the embodiment of a Portland white spicy straight hipster whose only claim to “queer” identity is having an unsatisfying threesome with another girl for her moid and I am sooooo tired of the YT algorithm picking up all her (“their”) videos and pushing them for design. When I used to follow her, and still to this day based on her story, she just nonstop sympathy posts. About her depression, her ADHD, her cats seizures, clients, or the newest ailment she wants people to feel sorry for, migraines. We don’t need a post every single time your head hurts.

moids hate m/m erotica from a female gaze, if you exclusively drew that you'd repel them. but you'd attract the weeb FTM crowd if that's all you drew so that's an L, honestly.

for straight erotica, I think it's hot when the man is fully/half-naked, in vulnerable positions on the ground, and the woman has her clothes on standing up, or in a higher position in the composition.


If you show arousal on the man, have the woman never interact with his penis, and only show women receiving pleasure in any sexual situation.

Show men crying/blushing/in pain/restricted movement. Realistic female bodies with whatever male body type you find hot.

Moids love shit like women stepping on penises with heels, and sexualized women who dominate men (but still pay attention to his penis) so if you're able to draw women in a position of power without sexualizing her it would turn men off I think.

also the "i only want to draw things that is only hot to women and men will hate" comes off as a different type of shizo posting.

the reality is that between men and women, there is no erotic art that is exclusively attracted to one or the other. you're going to just run yourself ragging drawing this "only women attracted" erotica because you'll get men, trans and women in your audience. Same for moid and coomer porn. Men women and trans.

if you want to draw erotica, draw the erotica you actually want to draw in terms of subject matter and composition.

NTA but holy fuck, come on. Yes, we all know that scrotes jerk off to anything especially if it involves women but what that anon wants is to draw straight erotic art for women, not yaoi. And yes, it is possible to draw such a thing while attracting a minimal amount of scrotes (including trannies). For example, drawing female POV, and making the guy fully colored and shaded and painting his face and body beautifully while putting in the least possible amount of effort on the (faceless) woman will frustrate most moids who try to get off to the art (even trannies because they're AGPs and they'd rather self-insert into hentai bishoujo than an average looking faceless woman that's not drawn in a very appealing way and isn't even there as the focus). That may not mean that 0% of males will be able to fap to it but it would make your audience virtually all-female and that's what matters, that's what anon wants. The only moids who will like it will just be there out of spite or coping, just like women who read hentai have to settle for whatever malegaze shit they find with the least ugly/plain male self-insert they're able to find and internalizing what they see, only men have an endless supply of porn that actually caters to them so I doubt they'll be much of a problem (unless they're gay or something).

No. 1300663

>>1300594
NTA either, and I know original Nona was specifically wanting to draw femdom, but I think the focus should be less "what will drive men away?" and more "what will attract women?" As weird as this might sound, I think you should take a look at a lot of Yuri art. Since the target audience of most Yuri is actually women, a lot of themes that are prevalent in the genre are designed to appeal to women but not men. Art that's really sweet and wholesome where neither participant is being objectified. Cute kisses, cuddling. Put the focus on their relationship first and foremost, and the raunchy stuff is secondary.

I know I personally like when the male character is depicted as an actual person rather than a faceless self insert. There's surprisingly little art where you can see his entire face. Because men don't like that. Putting a lot of focus on him without being weird/gross/degenerate will appeal to women while being boring for men, and without just being a role-reversed version of art that caters to horny dudes.

With femdom-focused stuff you can still focus on the guy and just leave the woman's face out of the frame, or have her back to the viewer, or only show a portion of her body, etc. But if you build a story around the characters and their relationship with sfw art and sprinkle in the sex, I think you'll get the audience you want.

I'm having a similar problem to >>1297258. I had a drawing go viral (for the amount of engagement I get) on Twitter.

I got over 800 new followers but now I have a lot of cumbrained TIMs following me. What's the best way to get rid of the TIMs without cancelling myself?

anon from >>1299680

the focus should really not be on "what will attract women" or "what will drive men away" and more on "what do I want to draw for erotica"

because anon is going to be the one stuck with drawing it. they may as well draw whatever actually makes them horny or happy and then deal with the audience they get from it as opposed to trying to figure out "what will appeal to straight women".

If is a straight women, then she should just draw what appeals to her. If they draw stuff that attracts hypothetically nothing but straight women but they themselves feel miserable or hate doing it, then what's the point other than money? Anon should focus on what they want to actually draw for erotica as opposed to trying to figure out a niche or market. How tf can you draw for a market when you don't even know what the landscape of it is like? Even more so when you- the person drawing it- don't even know what you would want to draw.

it honestly sounds like anon is more in love with the idea of it than the actual subject matter or creating erotica. Anon should draw what appeals to them first and foremost rather than trying to build an audience based on a fleeting idea and imo no real desire behind it other than spite which burns out quickly.

Anon, I never posted before in this thread but I understand their desire. I do self-indulgent NSFW art that I no longer post on Twitter, and it's F/F and F/M because I like women so I don't do M/M or male-focus. When I posted, I attracted scrotes in a proportion bigger than 50%. This is because they overpopulate the porn market, I know, but it made depressed and mostly grossed out. I draw heavy emphasis on romance, often clothed or softcore in a way that hides the genitals, cute ornate backgrounds, small but non-flat breasts.All things I like, but I hated to see my art retweeted next to deformed "thicc" women with floating self-insert dicks and misogynistic text, hyperdick stomach bulge bestiality, etc. Males also leave very gross interactions and one even lectured me on how I could ""make my art better"" if I made it more extreme in that sense.

That's fine and i get it, but dealing with any market of people online you're going to get weird unsolicited criticism, your art is going to get retweeted next to other shit they like, among other things.

i block people who are blatantly weird and/or obnoxious and I don't really care what someone enjoys outside of my art because it's not my business and it's entirely possible for people to enjoy hyper-deformed "thicc" women and floating self insert dicks and enjoy cute softcore porn. Hell, I know my porn account is filled with the gambit of it that someone could be surprised it's all from the same person between werewolves, monster men, and things that are cute, romantic and softcore.

However, nona is clearly leaving in a fantasy or more in love with the idea of having a scrote free market than they are sharing content they actually want to put out into the world. Even straight women aren't immune from extremely parasocial, degrading interactions in both coomer and non coomer fashion.

The alternative is to only have a private account with vetted followers and find some roundabout way of promoting your art. It isn't something I would go through because I don't care enough to follow priv accounts or to go through the process of creating one but there's no market that is "100% scrote free" which is my ultimate point.

so rather than worrying about your audience and caring to that degree (or if you do, just not posting and accepting that) of trying to curate based around an audience you don't have, you should just make what you want because like I mentioned, even if anon gets their magical 100% female only audience… Unless you are exclusively interested in money, What's the point outside of money if they ultimately feel miserable, unenthusiastic and uninspired making it and just churn out piece after piece for some cash?

hello fellow britbong Yeah it can suck when you try for a while to do something and someone else reezes in and gets it easily, but rationalising it/breaking it down could help. E.g. what kind of art does she makes? If its generic like anime girls and celebrities, and/or has mass appeal like hyper realism, that can get you a following. How much luck was involved? Like you hear about 12 year olds making ugly randomised characters, happen to get noticed and sell for thousands, while there are many other accounts trying and failing to do the same.

Go through your followers and softblock all the TIMs. Wait a couple of weeks to do this, people will notice you are an artist who softblocks (which might attract drama) if you do it right after they follow.

Don't softblock all at once, maybe 20 a day. Twitter blocking is one of its best features, it gets rid of 90% of twitter related headaches. It might be time consuming, but worth it.

I saw on Twitter earlier today that a new AI that can produce art has popped up (i couldn't find its name) and it apparently can create art that looks very 'human made', particularly art that can copy the artstyle of many industry established artists. The results were mixed to me tbh, some looked quite convincing but others looked off. Naturally most people started to sat that this AI would 'destroy artists' but then there's some offshoots such as ergojosh claiming that an AI that can create convincing art like that would save artists instead.

These sorts of arguments keep getting brought up. In reality, only those artists that do art for money could get affected by such softwares.
But there's always going to lack the human factor that makes art what it is, which is something that people like because they can relate to something human rather than by something mass produced.
What could happen is that there's going to be a market for mass produced AI-readymade-art, and a parallel market for art made by humans.
I don't see what's the big deal tbh, if you like doing art, just do it, if you want to publish it, go ahead, if you don't get 10.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 likes under 5 minutes and that upsets you, then it's time to do some self-reflection.

@minmonsta on ig/@minnniskirt on twitter just posted this, her first post on any platform since 2019. Comments are full of people accusing her of ghosting and scamming commissioners from back then (totaling over $4000). I followed her ages ago when she was active and totally forgot about her existence until now, does anyone know know anymore details about this? Apparently she's only back because people were organizing to contact authorities to get her to deliver but couldn't find anything about that through googling.

samefag, so she scammed Vietnamese people so the post calling her out is in Vietnamese. Picrel is the mass email she sent out to commissioners.

This is the post: https://www.facebook.com/100060949660873/posts/pfbid0b3dBgx81GCJEKVSy11rCssWqEsExpjvwU1KfR2SnqQiVQhVXMcuJwC9BhRqL5kr3l/?d=n

Here's what Google translate says:

MINMONSTA IS BACK AFTER FIREING WITH COMMS OF OVER 30 COMMISSION CUSTOMERS THREE YEARS. Everyone who has paid her Shikishi commission please check your email.

“It's not very nice office hours, but at least Minmonsta contacted me at 2am on August 13, 2022.

I called and talked directly with Minmonsta. According to this woman, within the past 3 years, due to personal and family psychological reasons, she could not pay commissions. Personally, I still hold the view that there is no reasonable enough reason for Minmonsta to hold the commission of more than 30 people (according to Minmonsta) up to hundreds of millions of dong and disappear like that.

Currently Minmonsta is still completely healthy and practicing tattooing, has NOT had any problems as rumored for a long time.

Last night, someone messaged me the entire address where Minmonsta is working in Hanoi as well as her personal Facebook and Instagram account posting her tattoo photos. Honestly, just one more day late, maybe I would have gone straight to Minmonsta's workplace to solve it. Currently Minmonsta has actively contacted me and hopes that I will not touch this lady's place of work because this is the only place Minmonsta relies on to be able to earn money to return customers who have placed previous comm.

I have agreed to what Minmonsta suggested (I will not publicize any of the above Minmonsta personal information), and in return I also have a few requests for this woman:

1. Have to contact all over 30 customers to place commissions and fully refund them. In addition, they also have to make an appointment for each person to return the money. It doesn't have to be at the same time, but it does have to be an exact appointment so people know there's still a wait.

2. Must have photo cap proof of commission refund. Personal information of victims will be hidden, but full refunds must still be posted.

3. As soon as possible, write a PUBLISH article to report what happened and apologize properly.

According to Minmonsta, in recent times, many people have sent malicious messages to Minmonsta's cousin. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their interest and help in finding Minmonsta's whereabouts. However, now that I have found her, I also hope people will turn their attention away from that cousin, because I also don't want to drag people who are not involved in this.
In conclusion, I am still waiting for Minmonsta's post to report the incident and apologize. I will update when I receive her refund.”

this girl is shady as hell, some ig comments are saying she secretly made a 2nd instagram account for her tattoo business she started while ghosting her main anime art accounts.

I think the most popular one right now is Midjourney as it is free. I personally think it all looks very same-y, and it seems like the exact same style is being used in basically all of the art I've come across, just different words as input. It looks very artificial and anyone with a good eye can probably point it out even if the artist has painted over most of it.

I have Dall-E and I feel like I can personally say that the AI likely isn't going to take over at any moment. BUT some of the results can be really impressive and I certainly think it's a possibility in some fields, which is why some people are feeling threatened. A lot of it seems very hit or miss unless you provide your own input image but it can be pretty good with "realistic" as a keyword and simpler prompts.

That said, I think I can agree with Ergojosh. I often struggle on picking colors and compositions and currently I'm using it to help with that on existing WIPs. I also have tried it with editing an existing background (which is neat as fuck) but that's about it. A lot of the art can be convincing but also lacking the obvious human touch. Even bad art has little quirks from the artist which is what I feel it can't replicate accurately. Haven't tried to copy anyone's style as I'm almost out of credits (got carried away with friends playing with it)

Picrel is Dall-E generated of "a realistic photo of a pink cow using a computer" for fun

The majority of yuri caters to men, especially the ones that are "cute, sweet, etc." doubly so if they fall into schoolgirl themes. Joseimuki with lesbian stories (like Gunjo) or just joseimuki in general are better examples. Sadly, not a lot of Redikomi are translated into English, but might also be worth checking out as those are hentai manga exclusively for women.

Blocking is the best thing you can do. Get out of the mindset of trying to please everyone or worrying about who might like your work, and curate the audience you want by liking their responses and posting what you love. Use the tools you have and don't worry about it. I draw F/F and F/M(with femdom overtones of varying degrees), favoring what I'd call 'hot/beautiful couples.' So I do get scrotes, but many of them have reacted in a way they came off as threatened by the guy. I want them to know they'll never have a chance with my women.
Girlboss, gatekeep, gaslight in erotica.
Don't be afraid to make it clear that the scrotes are a periphery lucky to be along for the ride. Do it through your art, though.
That's how I've had most of the worst scrotes stay off my ass. The ones who know they aren't the target are largely polite and appreciate the romance.

I know nearly everyone is addicted to Twitter clout here, but you need to accept that it's coomer central. If you're trying to find a place to post your erotica, escape coomers, and curate a majority female audience, I'd highly recommend dedicated art sites like Pixiv, PaperDemon, or even deviantArt (which has specific groups) where your art is more searchable or classifiable. Hell, you'd be surprised with what you can get away with posting on Tumblr since you're not drawing bloated 50-head characters covered in questionable fluids that would flag the AI.

My takeway is that, to be an erotic artist who caters to women, you have to be selfish. Undo your need to please and make what turns YOU on. There are people who share your tastes.

I am the femdom artist anon. Wish I could reply to everyone but damnn, this specific interaction made me depressed because you're both right, I think. If I draw exactly what I want I will inevitably get gross scrote followers. If I get gross scrote followers, then I will be sad and creeped out. Therefore, if I draw and post what I want, I will have a bad time. I already have a decently sizeable and very disgusting 80%+ male following right now with my sell-out 'lewd pinup' art, but I haven't felt completely horrible about it because the art I make isn't art I even like, so I don't feel attached. What >>1300941 said about seeing their tasteful art next to deformed thick hyperdick etc is really what makes me scared.

I think at the end of the day, it's a sacrifice I am going to make. Appealing femdom art will attract scrotes, yes, but it will also attract a lot of women who will get something out of it. As long as I focus on that female audience and block and particularly disgusting followers that I happen to notice, I can see this being overall a good thing. Thanks for all the advice from everyone.

Gunjo is so great because it touches on so many complicated angles of female sexuality against society. The societal expectations are never outright addressed in a preachy way. It's told in a way you just know, through body language, their experiences, and whatnot. I felt like I'd met all three of the main women at some point in my life.
OT, but there's a live adaptation, too. I haven't seen it yet. It's apparently good, but not as hard hitting as the manga, and the sex scenes run too long for a lot of people's tastes (scrote director).

I can only speak from an American standpoint, but your statement holds up where I'm from. A lot of them treat art like it's still some bored rich person's hobby because it's 'not a real job' while never questioning what kind of mind the silly figurines they want to collect are originating from, or why they comics they binge on are some kind of exception.
I like AI because it acts as a go-between for concepting things like color pallets and the mood for compositions. But even the presenter at the DALL-E briefing said as much that people's ignorance towards art are why they'll be easily fooled, in one extreme or the other, by these generated images.

I think this one specifically might be more of an edit challenge than art challenge. Like those "Neon Genesis character but emo" accounts. Everybody knows it's traced, but some people like seeing the different take on it.

I personally find it lamer when you can tell it's hand drawn but the result is basically still that image, like "disney style" but it's literally just Ariel or Belle with different hair. An edit is an edit, but if you're gonna draw it from scratch and try to flex your art skills you might as well actually put 5 minutes of tought into studiying the style instead of just exactly copiying the main character's face.

Twitter art cow who has been getting on my nerves for a while shows her ass by claiming that AI art is now art theft.

For fucks sake. I don’t like AI art either, it feels very NFT-Bro to me but stitching together a bunch of artworks to the point where you would not even be able to point out your work if you were told it was in the image isn’t fucking art theft. At that point it is literally transformative work.

I honestly thought online art communities had moved past the juvenile 2010 era of art fags claiming that anything and everything that personally bothered them was ‘art theft’ once actual, serious theft started to become a problem.

I know it’s companies pushing these AI programs and what they’re doing is shitty but claiming works that are by their nature transformative is a slippery slope . It’ll just lead to grown ass popular artists in their mid 20’s like Walsh sending their followers to bully young teens online for ‘copying’ them. Which then leads to gatekeeping of techniques, tutorials, brushes, softwares, hacks etc.

Not to jump but I wonder if you could argue since the actual image pixels have to be uploaded and added to the AI bot would giving it copy righted material have intention of theft since you were kind of stealing from the beginning and since the Ai bot requires the copyrighted material to literally be giving to it or it can’t create.

It seems like AI can generate realistic/painterly/abstract images well, but it is unable to reproduce cartoons and illustrations with solid and sound forms. Like a basic anime girl drawing.

I wonder if concept art/realistic renders like what's shown here will become less popular bc of AI, and new styles that AI cannot recreate will start to grow. AI cannot create animations or comics.

any ai art that actually looks good has been made by an artist who spent hours learning a specific bot. there is some that looks good made randomly but most of it is barely readable without being fed specific images or descriptors.

i wish everytime a new technology came out people didn't jump onto the board for art theft. Yes, it sucks but people who steal art are going to do it regardless of the existence of nfts, AI, or literally anything else. There's no way to properly prevent it. all AI art is, is mathematical photobashing and artists already use photobashing in their process. with art twitter doom posting about whats the point of learning, being replaced and how its going to kill art is exhausting.

ai isn't going to kill art because all it is, is automated photobashing. people who are cheapasses and don't want to pay artists are going to use it anyways, they're worthless clients and a pain in the ass to deal with. i cannot figure out why art twt if taking people saying "look how good this is and how much money i'll save by doing this instead of hiring an artist" seriously. They're all mostly just clients from hell and are shitty clients to work with, i can't see why people are trying so hard for them.

If non-artists didn't use the emergence of new tech as an opportunity to speak out their asses about the doomed future of art, artists wouldn't have to become so defensive. I understand the anxiety and sense of defeat, few people respect artists as it is.

I agree that AI won't kill art, but I suspect that popular artists will have to deal with their paintings being used for ugly AI nft, which shouldn't be allowed without an artist's permission imo

It's still incredibly possible! Nothing has changed on that front. Social Media isn't a top priority for professional scouters unless they work in social media themselves and aiming for that audience. Stick to dedicated art sites. I sell prints through Etsy and have even gotten invites to vend at local shows and do work that way, too. Go someplace that's already set to look serious or make your own website. Even a Carrd portfolio to send to recruiters and agents is better than a Twitter.

To add to this, all the AI art is honestly very samey. It looks pretty, but it's boring or confusing unless you paint over or alter it. People should be looking at the AI as a tool to assist in photobashing or as a way to generate your own references or inspiration The AI is no good without a human who knows what they're doing piloting it.

I highly recommend checking out pisukev on instagram, for anyone who is either apprehensive or intrigued by AI art. He's been generating follower-submitted prompts and sharing a lot of insight into how the AI works and how much effort goes into actually making something interesting with it. He also has an account where he posts some of the results for people to use as assets in their own work.

I just can't with terminally online children. Saged for blog, btw. I joined this pixel doll game everskies as the concept is nostalgic and I like the designs people make. A large part of the community are already insane triggered cancel culture gendies and wokies, but their retardation reached a new level.

Everskies released a design competition with the Popovy sisters and first place wins a doll. But so many of them started to scream the dolls promote eating disorders, the sisters only think skinny is pretty, they're inappropriate for under 18s for having nipples, and something about Marilyn manson. A few sane ones rightly said nipples aren't sexual and if fantasy dolls make you think of eating disorders or beauty standards it's just an art style and you should log off, but it wouldn't stop until Everskies locked the post. Gen Z are progressing backwards aren't they.

There are two things going on, her old fans are low EQ and keep calling her sana - which she can’t address because of NDA, and the characters she designed for arknights looks like her ex coworker’s character.

So she is dealing with
1- angering her Chinese audience by bringing up hololive(re: coco Taiwan fiasco and artia) thus endangering future jobs with Chinese companies
2- accusations of plagiarism. Which is stupid to say about the design. She didn’t copy, but the design is boring.

I do remember she said she started streaming in a first place to have little breaks from art, but remember, hololive hires artists vtubers now so theg would ALSO force them to draw design of Jp irl merch or other crap, so it's even more work, but remembering how greedy COVER is, they wouldn't give her that much of money unlike FGO.

Any anons got any advice about growing a twitter art account when you’re starting from like… nothing follower or mutual wise?

I get conflicting information all of the time or told it’s not possible a waste of my time. Just… nothing resembling a clear answer and it’s disheartening.

I don’t have any popular artist friends which is the only way (apart from being a child prodigy, savant or extremely lucky) I’ve seen anyone actually gain any traction on that site.

I got sick with a chronic, life-long illness and left art school before my honours year because of it. I specialised in character and prop design.

I want post visual dev art for my own original projects, build on my skill as an environmental painter, post character art, sketches and occasional fanart and comics. I’m not exactly a consistent person apart from that I just consistently create things. I often jump around interests and create whatever I can and I’m comfortable with that.

Being sick when you’re in your 20’s is just… really fucking lonely and boring. I’m trapped in my own home and I don’t really feel like a person and want to feel like I’m doing something useful again. This feels like something I could realistically do without making myself unwell.

I really miss talking about the art side of my creative projects and hearing about other people’s work as all of my friends either work in 3D or are in academia or writers.

I also don’t really know how to promote myself without being obnoxious or network with people without… also being obnoxious.

I’ve been told that my work is decent and likeable and the people who know me are interested in my projects and seriously want to support me.

This is encouraging and a pretty good sign but I am absolutely in the dark about how I can increase the scale of this beyond a few discord servers. I don’t want to start posting online and end up humiliating myself or getting myself into bother or upsetting anyone.

Also my financial situation isn’t dire or anything. Just bleak and… there. I don’t get any nice things. I’m not looking to become the next Loish or whatever or super popular and I don’t ever expect to. I just want a small, dedicated following. I’m not even sure it’s possible though but it’s worth a try.

I’m sorry this was long, I saged it so it hopefully won’t annoy anyone. Any advice is really appreciated.

For anyone trying to make a living you just need a small but dedicated following. First make art. Make a collection or series. Have a variety of product to sell from stickers and prints (cheaper end) and the like but also look into selling original pieces (higher value). Post consistently somewhere, maybe not Twitter but if that’s your audience then go for it. Local shows are better (and you can meet more artists in your community) than depending on SM because it’s so easy to be drowned out if you’re not posting consistently or they decide to change their algorithm that day. I’m sure there’s more but hopefully something in that ramble can help.

The two most important things are posting multiple times a week and having some kind of consistency to your art. Either stick to drawing one thing character, one type of animal, fanart from one series, or just have a very unique style. I never had any consistency in subject matter and I've learned that it keeps people sticking around if they know what to expect from your art and that they can see new stuff often. If you still want to upload all the different types of things you draw, maybe make two or three accounts?

He's chicano, mexican, latin american and white. Being white doesn't exclude any of that, when he says "pasty mexican" is like his brain has been rotten by american racial concepts that make no sense in latin american context and it triggers me. I'd slap him in the face but he's probably into that.

I have no idea the context but pasty latinos, especially European descendants are so over represented in Latin America media so going on about, “feeling underrepresented,” as someone’s who’s pale or look white is so damn funny because like, turn on Telemundo.

do Mexicans even feel represented by shit like Coco or Los Casagrande? i would be furious if they represented me as a bunch of poorlets living in a rat nest with my 50 cousins.

No. 1310495

I don’t think it’s honestly a nice change, plus in movies like enchanto characters like pepper are shown as white latinos, but honestly I’ve noticed artists tend to default to all brown, or black, rather than make “latinx,” centered art that’s diversely different, but I understand why it happens, like what was said, it’s not exactly welcoming towards people who don’t look like a transparent straight from Norway, I think both extremes are kinda weird.

No. 1310499

>>1310495
Adding onto that, honestly, not all latinos a successful mega rich, Los Casagrande just seemed they weren’t poor just a huge ass family, which is definitely believable. Though I haven’t watched it so far, while coco seemed to represent a more rural small town community life from what I remember, I guess it depends on which country the show’s set in, cause each one has differing racial, social shit etc

No. 1310502

I agree but to be fair I think he meant in American media in general, other than what is a network aimed at a Latino audience (in the US and abroad so it hardly counts as American media IMO). In that case it's true that at least back in the day, most representation Latinos got were Mexican stereotypes that didn't look like that. There are still sterotypes in current cartoons but at least they are not as stupid as before. Plus not everyone likes telenovelas so maybe he wanted to be represented as something other than a rich white dude in a crappy telenovela.

>>1310484
>i would be furious if they represented me as a bunch of poorlets living in a rat nest with my 50 cousins.
There's nothing wrong with having a big family or your country being portrayed as having poor villages if it's true, wtf. In fact, every single country has poor rural villages, I don't see how it's a problem to base a story on that kind of thing as long as it's not done in an insulting way. Mexicans fucking loved Coco so much that it came out in Mexico a month before it premiered in the US, although some complained about gringos making a movie about a fake version of our culture, but the less Americanized and more casual audience who isn't terminally online absolutely adored it because it was inspired by Mexican films and a lot of people grew up in poor homes with lots of siblings so a lot of Mexicans related to it. It's like the thought of Latinos being implied to be poor or not white offends you kek. As for Los Casagrande, I don't know and I don't care but those are meant to represent Latino diaspora in the US unlike Coco. For reference, plenty of golden age Mexican cinema films were set in little villages so for a lot of Mexicans Coco was very nostalgic.

Though it does piss me off as well that in American media, Latinos are rarely portrayed as pale/white. Despite all the memes about Argentinians not being white, it is true that Argentina, along with Uruguay, has the highest proportion of Caucasians in Latin America, and in Mexican media, Argeninians are often portrayed as whiter than the locals. But non-Latinos see us all as the same "race" so of course Americans wouldn't dare portray a filthy Latino as white (this goes for both hateful racists and fake "progressive" white savior complex racists who think they're doing us a favor by continuing to portray us in the same way as always because white people are evil).

just saying it weirded me out how every single piece of latino pandering American media is all about huge families crammed together like Coco, Casagranders, Encanto, Primos, but it might be a Mexican thing. Kinda ashamed to admit but when I was younger I used to watch a lot of La Rosa de Guadalupe, A cada Quien su Santo, etc, which I assumed were tvshows targeted at the average Mexican family and almost all the families were pretty nuclear, either mother/father and 2 children or a single mother.

Yeah that's exactly how it is, that's how I grew up, that's how I know a lot of people grew up. The extended family thing doesn't happen as often as you might think. Maybe your granny lives with you, but not 134834 cousins in the same house.

Oh yeah definitely. Now that you say it like that, I guess that sort of thing is more of a rural thing (though many people in cities came from these areas or have family there, but not all of course) and it was much more common a couple of generations ago.

Honestly as an artist who doesn’t have the ability to visualise anything and cannot draw from imagination (neither can I build a visual library), amalgamating your references is the bare fucking minimum of what you should do. You’re SUPPOSED to do that or give credit to the reference you are using if you are copying it.

I’ll be the first person to say: “stop shitting on people who need visual prompts and jumping off points in order to create. Saying it’s stealing or cheating is retarded,” as there can be a multitude of neurological reasons as to why they just can’t draw from their head (which are nobody’s business but theirs). Then needing a jumping off point doesn’t necessarily make their creation lesser than someone else’s. But like… copying your reference exactly is not referencing, it’s just copying.

However, I don’t blame a webtoon artist of all people at all for doing this shit. Webtoon is so fucking shitty nowadays. You have lone artists drawing on a wacom bamboo in their bedroom in their underwear competing with entire teams of people who release multiple pages from a massive backlog per week. If you don’t cut corners in this regard then you WILL become irrelevant to the algorithm. I don’t see this as a personal character flaw or moral/artistic failing it’s a consequence of algorithm driven social media and the pressure for lone, online artists to be industry standard.

AYRT, I agree with the rest of your points, but to clarify: Lotusbubble isn't a webtoon artist. She's an artist that got popular from copying Loish and now makes bank from making tutorials on her patreon. you can't swing a cat on instagram without finding derivatives of her over-saturated, pseudo-disney pretty girl portrait style.

She's just making a comic in her spare time. And the art is definitely very weak compared to her normal stuff, because her normal stuff is just copied from single references.

So they are keeping V1, but if you want V2, you have to pay a yearly fee. Not exactly a monthly fee. As someone who already does the PAYG method for the iPad, it doesn't bug me much.

My only issue is: if you stop paying for V2, does it take all the upgrades away you already paid for or do they become permanent upgrades and then you can unsub? otherwise, it would be more beneficial for them to just monetize brushes instead if they really want something people will pay for over and over and over. It just seems, IMO, that they want more repeated revenue rather than a buy one and done method unless you have an iPad or another type of portable system you need the paid version for already.
