I know this is schizo whining but I don't know how to feel about bluesky. I don't often have a lot of luck with algorithms since I rarely do fanart or FOTM, or maybe it just doesn't like my art, but I have the biggest following on bluesky by far. The whole platform seems like a nothingburger with numbers inflated by the election but now I can't exactly leave. I really should've just bit the bullet and done short form content. I'm willing to bet not being able to keep up with algorithms and trends is a sign of autism or something, I'm just not built for digital marketing and I'm not even that old

When you draw trannies with accurate proportions you get dogpiled for drawing caricatures kek picrel being a rather graceful depiction of a TIM yet it still made trannies seethe because he didn't look like a cute uguu kawiwi girl

No. 2270075

>>2270053
Bluesky doesn't rely on a centralized algorithm to circulate content. As long as you tag your posts accordingly people should be able to find your content no matter how much time that passed and can search your account by that tag if they only want to see content of x media accordingly. I see bluesky as a combination of Twitter and tumblr so hopefully it kicks off well after the mass xitter exodus since it's system is very beneficial for fandom posting and archiving

I actually love Skeb and wish we had something similar over here, but people seethe a lot when they can't complain about how you drew their shitty OC's eyelashes, I even saw them getting angry at their Skeb comission because it didn't turn 100% how they evisioned when the TOS state the artist is free to do whatever they want.

A service like Skeb would never take off in western art spaces because it robs commissioners of the chance to force a parasocial relationship with their favorite artists.

No. 2270490

>>2270336
I don't think that's the issue, people form parasocial relationships via the artist' discord server and by spaming their replies etc not via telling them if they can draw your fursona.
People over here just dislike Skeb's lack of comunication.

But it works no different that Fiverr or asking the artist for a commission through DMs. The nice thing about Skeb is that you only have send the money, an idea and you get a drawing. Since there's no comunication it's nicer to the artist as well since they don't have to message back and fort, do corrections and the like.
I have seen artists on Vgen who offer Skeb-like commissions, but they aren't the majority. I was pretty dissapointed in Vgen when it launched and it wasn't like Skeb at all like they marketed it originally, people expect comunication on it and that's not forbiden, it's just a digital marketplace.

I checked out this game when it was popular. The character in question is as flat as a board with no waistline. Without the hair and the dress he looks no more like a woman than the other teenage boy character. The fandom headcanoned itself into believing marina used black magic to transition despite nothing like that getting being in the game itself.
>>2270789
Miro pandered to gendies by including a tim character in the first place but he was clever with how he did it. In every scene where your character is nude Marina has his back facing out to hide his penis and lack of breasts. Miro must have smelled the angry American troons across the sea and took the safe route. Hilarious considering this game is known for being rapey with cocks out swinging all over the place.

it's not that he had a transphobic father, but that his mother didn't want him to become a dark priest. And many characters notice that "something isn't right" with this character and voice that concern in-game.

I mean at the end of the day people need to make money. I don't know if doujin in this case means original or fanart, but if its the latter then it's considered uncouth in Japan to make money of it regardless. And if it's original you're fighting against all the other artists who are trying to make their story known for cheaper or even free online.
>>2270311
>>2270336
Plenty of artists are already offering skeb services through Vgen. It's nice in fact because as an artist you aren't forced to either have 0 communication or a free for all. While I like the idea of skeb, it's nice to be able to just ask things to clarify. Based on what friends say, you don't get clients that will ask for a hundred revisions unless you're very cheap anyway. Skeb has its own downsides, I've seen it happen plenty of times where the artist despite good references (since you can see the prompt yourself) makes major mistakes.

I hope she gets repercussions for doing "unrealistic depictions" of tif bodies and face the consequences of pandering for these tards.

It's funny because the art's beautiful and the character looks like a bishie or bjd. The skill is way beyond the typical gendie artist so I feel like part of the seethe is because the artist is better than them. If this is supposed to be a TiM the artist did the character justice by giving them a pretty/feminine face and the body of a willowy, sickly Victorian which is unattainable for the big backed, malformed moids of today.

she probably has been mentioned often in these threads since shes one of the more well known cases of this happening but sarlisart has to be one of the most jarring cases of art style change I have ever seen from an artist. Her current art style can be appealing in a way that its intentionally amateurish, but it just cannot compare to her old art which stood out for its intricate and detailed backgrounds.

Nice lineart, good proportions and pleasing color palette, you find it harder than rendermaxxing because it was pretty much created to hide the flaws on the raw drawing (aka your picrel).

Forget shading and just practice your lines, colors and fundies. If your art looks nice with just base colors, then you reached your goal, from there you can either leave it alone, add simple shadows (your picrel) or rendermaxx, either of the 3 will look good.

Anons I'm so sick of troonshit. I've recently joined a discord for one of my niche fandom interests that's helped me gain some attention on my art once I finally started posting publicly, and it was all well while the discord hosted 20ish people. The bigger it got more gendies started joining and shitting up conversations by turning every topic about themselves and their valid troon ocs. They've also started sperging about proship and antiship faggotry, and although they're on the "pro" side (which I guess I would lean towards if I was autistic enough to care about meaningless internet drama) I'm afraid that kinda crap will be a stain on my reputation and future growth as an artist, and I've literally just now started.

I don't know if I should leave the server. In my perfect outline of what I want for my art account I'd stay far away from either of those topics, but now as an active member I feel like I've been implicated in their bullshit just by being around them, despite not ever commenting on anything they say and disengaging once they start to talk about those things. I don't know if I'm being paranoid or just responsibly forward thinking. I just don't want to get cancelled this early on in my endeavors, I need commission money.

No. 2273590

If you feel that uncomfortable by their presence and you'll lose nothing of value from leaving the server, I'd say just leave right away.

Seconding this. Even if you don't engage and just post your art you will attract the troons as fans, and they're the WORST fan group you could possible have: mentally unstable, narcs, batshit crazy and looking for any reason to cancel others, misogynistic and homophobic with the most deranged fetishes.

Yeah nona, please mute the server and slowly fade out. Don't do what I did anon. I personally can't escape interacting with gendies - TIFs specifically make up like half of my audience and I need the numbers for my side income. Even if they aren't pornsick TIMs, TIFs are still either incredibly insufferable or just sad to look at. I hate having an audience of gendies and handmaidens. I regret it so much. You have to put up with nonsense neopronouns, whining about transphobia, etc etc. I feel like I am also at risk of them sniffing out my terfiness because I refuse to draw any troon characters of any sort, or because I never specify my characters' pronouns. Hopefully they don't catch on.

On the plus side, to any nona who does in fact have an audience of gendies and handmaidens, at least it's quite easy to pander to them if you're willing to draw poc, fatties, or disabled people. I'll take those over coomshit
or gendieshit. Picrel to illustrate.

While we're on this topic, have any nonas actually been cancelled for not being woke enough? Have any nonas actually been strongarmed into drawing troonshit? If so, what are your thoughts and would you do anything differently now?

>While we're on this topic, have any nonas actually been cancelled for not being woke enough?
It wasn't anything with troons and I didn't exactly get cancelled, but I have a story for my OCs and there are many characters in it separated into groups. The main group that I draw the most is the protag's group, and they're all fair skinned (only one was actually white, the rest of the cast is latino). I've had people come to me claiming I was being "sus" that my story didn't have POC characters (it does, I just don't draw them so often) and that I should change at least one of the protagonists into being black or brown because "having them all be white sends a bad message". Again, those were my OCs. My characters.

Needless to say I blocked the person.

Not quite the same but a polycule I shared a discord server with tried painting me as an everythingaphobe because my (majority) poc OCs weren't minority enough for them. It started when someone in the artshare channel "innocently" suggested I give my ocs more realistic appearances. I guess my original answer wasn't up to their standard because out of nowhere I started getting these mysteriously loaded questions on tellonym like
>do you have any fat OCs?
>are any of your ocs gnc?
>why don't you have any trans ocs?
>you and (server member) should draw your ocs interacting
>if any of your OCs was trans, who would it be
>what do you think of the (fandom character) trans headcanon
>what does (oc who is known for being an asshole) think of trans people
>trans rights???
>do u ever get tired of pandering to cishet men
>would you ever make a fat OC
>what's your ideal body type??
>why do you hate fat trans people???
>wow fatphobic transphobic and homophobic add in racism and you'll get a bingo you terf cunt!
This went on for a good two months. I had an idea of who the culprit was since one of the discord polycule kittens had a habit of subtweeting eerily similar topics after questions popped up. They're just as predictable as the cartoon villains they obsess over. Of course they are all sunshine and rainbows in the actual server. Never have I ever met a group of people online as vindictive and two-faced as the troon community. Nothing serious ever came of it, but I did notice a sudden drop in followers immediately after I left the server.

Watch all the TIFs subconsciously forgive her too: why?

This! I avoid all talks about troons, never mention it at all etc and still EVERY time I end up talking to a troon they just turn the topic into them being trans. And I'm talking about people who (claim they) are autists and the fandom we're in is their autistic hyper-fixation special interest - yet they still care less about it than they care about being trans.

Raising my Art Instagram age group for the US and Canada to 99+ years of age. Good or bad strategy? Should I include more countries? Lower the age to 40-ish? 50-ish? I don't care if I don't get noticed. Too much woke too too many weird people. But I could be missing something. I want to focus on European, Oceanic, Latin and Asian countries because they seem more chill in comparison. Also maybe closing comments, but I've been told that's a bit weird?

Gendies will jump on literally anything that is popular at the moment, and Mouthwashing had a really sudden explosion of popularity. I think it's just about them being trend chasers. Mouthwashing just maybe stands a bit apart from other stuff that becomes FotM trendy because it has a dark serious story, so it has a more niche and individual appeal that makes people feel stronger about it than mass-produced SoL waifuslop and also leads to more retarded discourse because now you have a bunch of fandom kids that aren't used to media with serious subjects because this is their baby's first media that isn't specifically targeted at teenagers or degenerate japanese hikkis

Nonas, how do you cope when your favorite female artist turns out to be a moid or troon? Every time I find a cool artist that draws like a woman, they always turn out to be a "lesbian" troon like picrel or a mentally unstable moid, with the latter being the case with Japanese and Korean artists.

Sage for tinfoil but I think It's very easy to tell because the autopedo is different. A TIM's autopedo is less natural as they don't have the same internal pressure to act cute for moid attention. If a woman drew picrel, the little doggirl would either be flanked by a roidpig or more shapely.

This is extremely moid gazey. The only people who would draw something like this are 99% males and 1% girls with abysmal self-esteem who have spent all their online lives around lolicons and have been groomed into drawing like this to pander to their moid "friends". I used to think this troon was one of these for some reason, maybe I just clung to the possibility of him being just a weird pickme NLOG, but exceptions like these are so rare you might as well always assume these artists are male.

Males are obsessed with inoffensive moe/"funny"/"silly" anime girls and have a distinctive art style. Look at the way male anime artists draw girls vs. the way female artists that draw FOR girls draw them. Non-Japanese males draw girls with the same fashion sense as the Japanese ones because of their anime influences. They have a schoolgirl fetish so they draw the girls with realistic uniforms and hair styles, but reduce them to clean and cute caricatures. Women usually draw girls in a more human and authentic way, like this >>2274931
Another glaring red flag is that moids will only draw girls. In your pic there are only two of them, both generically moe, and no males (waifufag/yurifag thing). It's nearly impossible to find a lesbian that draws anime girls like this.
They also fetishize Japan a lot through the lens of moe anime. That's why your pic depicts two anime girls in typical CGDCT fashion over a photo of a Japanese street.

>>2274946
>When i posted her in another thread her guys got called roided,
NTA but don't listen to those retards, roided is another body type, a grotesquely muscular one that looks like a mutant. They don't know what it means so they call any toned guy "roidpig". Also this artist is clearly female, and I don't even know her or her husbando. Women tend to draw men more gracefully and androgynous (normal with a touch of pretty), while male artists exaggerate masculine features in the same way they exaggerate feminine features in women.

>>2274803
>breasts aren't inherently sexual!!!!!!
No matter how many times you tell yourself this, if it's a straight male making her boobs massive, it's because it gives him a boner, fucking retard. Then again, it's near impossible for a male to draw fanart of a female character who was raped in a serious and nuanced manner, because moids can't empathize, and it's more likely that they'll get off to her suffering in some way (either by literally getting off to the rape or by fetishizing her vulnerability).

NTA but it's true, a lot of women are hired to draw for men. During the lolicon boom, many female mangaka started to draw loli because it was profitable, since lolicon moids were shoujo fans (can you guess why?) They always tried to emulate those art styles, so moids liked it when a female artist with an "authentic shoujo style" drew lolicon. Even today, it's much more common for a woman to draw porn for moids than the other way around, which honestly makes me depressed. The internalized male gaze is real.

Maybe that's why Slavic and east Asian artist draw so authentically. They aren't trying to net brownie points. An idea popped in their head and decided they wanted to realize it. A lot of American artist are more concerned with a message instead of thinking about what they want out of piece which often leads to preachy pandering slop that feels and looks so freaking ugly.

I like Bluesky so far, it reminds me of Twitter 10 years ago but so many coomers and NSFW accounts are starting to follow me and I'm so confused. I make cutesy fanart of anime and games and sell stickers in my shop, none of my art is even a little sexual. Is this happening to anyone else?

This sadly describes a big chunk of yuri but BL and GL are closely related to shojo so they will look cuter than seinen or bara. Besides, men will flock to lesbian-themed manga regardless of how women draw them. I don't know why i bother explaining this since you probably have a raging hateboner for yuri

Yeah, I found her response a bit too much.

Tbh, The only reason I even remember who Juby is because of a spat she had with Hollee(SoundlessWind) about a zine Hollee was organizing making. Can't remember the actual details, it was either Juby was mad Hollee didn't disclose the charity she was donating her and, I think, another friend's zine profits or the fact it was a for profit zine and she didn't disclose it in her post to potential buyers. This was like 10 years or more ago but even then I thought it was weird to just air it all in public instead of talking in private.

pot calling kettle black. if she was such a pitiful sad victim, why does she have to pull out all the cards to make her seem shes of no fault (e.g. "The project was so personal to me!", "Im disabled!" and "Genice is lucky to be privileged unlike me!") it especially looks more unhinged when the supposed plagiarized work hasnt even been made public in the first place and this could have all been dealt privately. who is she to say that genice didnt experience similar hardships she had when taking inspiration from her ocs, why was she so quick to assume the worse when a friend takes inspiration form her work.
she also talks rich for someone who has also has an oc that looks very similar to another person's character (prince canary)

best wishes nona and dont worry, in all the times i recall major callouts on artists from fandoms up to 2-5 years ago, hardly anyone remembers or brings it up anymore in the present, even with the more notorious ones that have multiple vendetta call outs. These sort of people eventually move on to their next target and only get off to the thrill of toppling a big account down; often times they too face the brunt of getting false accusations thrown against them once their circlejerk starts cannibalizing itself from the inside when it runs out of people to make call outs on. Its always a spectacle to watch from the outside, but its all the more satisfying when one of those fuckers were the ones who tried to instigate false rumours against you and are now getting a taste of their own poison.

To add to this, Korean and Chinese GL tends to have more realistic proportions in their art style and portrays settings outside of the usual "Highschool first love" trope. Its why tamen de gushi is one of the few manhuas moids/troons are aware of because it has the usual themes you'd find in japanese GL.

because children and teenagers are easy to market to. they see a 25 year old shonen protag and go "it's me!" and done. that's why you got super beefy looking guys like todo in jjk being 16 when he could pass as 26. also as someone who enjoys creative writing: adults can just walk away from situations which makes it difficult to create a setting where rivalries and shit exist. if you got students you can just put them in rival schools or teams or whatever and they'll be stuck there. otherwise people who dislike each other will just avoid each other and done. if you put them in a class or a team together you can have tons of banter and forced proximity for character and story development.

I increasingly think most shows should just never have a confirmed age of characters so everyone can imagine they're the same age as them regardless if they're teens or adults. As it is now you get angry teen dweebs online going "reee why are you as an adult watching a show about small little 17 year old babies you pedo!!!" even though in the show they all clearly act adult and have adult voices. And it is pretty annoying to relate to an adult character only for them half a season later to reveal she's like 14.

At least JJK has the excuse of the mangaka not wanting to make the story take place in a school but being forced to by an editor because it's more marketable for kids and teenagers so he had to compromise. Which is also why we have Nanami, a grown man but not a teacher, still being involved with a bunch of high school kids instead of just being an older coworker to teenagers, and why the school setting becomes irrelevant as soon as Gege could have more freedom.

When people are under pressure, they’re prone to cracking and accepting a disproportionate amount of blame just to make the other party stop, and the way Juby is acting just really feels off.

16bit sensation's manga was written based on several people in the industry's input during a nostalgic drinking session, and an artist who was pretty big during the LeafKey era feels the protagonist Meiko is basically her. The story goes she started working for a computer parts store and got roped into helping with PC-98 era porn games because she drew a pretty nice store advert. The story is filled with her being slowly coerced into drawing more and more pornographic things and she eventually ends up an extremely popular artist but winds up with a lot of male stalkers she just kinda has to deal with. If she feels the character was literally just her, I wonder how many women in the industry got roped in like that.

KEKK claiming she's disabled and then admitting it's just that being sad makes her feel bad. insulting to actual disabled people, if it wasn't so funny. actually the unhinged way she's saying and doing all this kind of makes me wonder what hell she must have put someone younger than her through? sometimes people who are privately abusive hurry to point fingers before the other person can get a chance? don't know if that's her or if she's just retarded, however.

>sometimes people who are privately abusive hurry to point fingers before the other person can get a chance?
This is usually the case with people who try to get a head start and start saying extremely heinous things. They like to poison the well and make the other person seem mentally unwell or like a genuinely evil person so nobody takes them seriously or even so much as attempt to hear them out when they try to explain their side. This is especially an issue amongst younger people as they typically don't have the life experience to see through a controlled narrative yet, but isn't Juby over 30 at this point? Truly pathetic behavior.

I just don't enjoy it anymore, art itself is fine but everything around it (social media, followers, selling your art, getting noticed, etc) is so annoying.

nayrt but getting a fairly large following on instagram makes me wish i had a smaller following that was more close knit instead. I have a lot of reels with 500k-2mil views and I get so much hate from random people that I don't even want to check my comments or even open the app. I don't want to appeal to an algorithm, I just want to draw to appeal to people who actually enjoy my work and will stick around rather than people who are just there as a tourist and will leave a nasty comment without considering I'm a real person behind the screen. The dopamine rush when the number goes up is insane but I didn't realize the demons that were coming in, and I have a newfound respect for big youtubers who have to deal with it on a much wider scale than I do.

I listened to the stream and I even started to be swayed by the way she spoke, her manipulation levels are no joke, but she kept insulting genice's sanity and keeps equating her to a sociopath while saying she herself is too compassionate and gives her friends a lot of grace. It's the subtle cues you gotta pick up on. I don't doubt there's nuance here and genice did in fact fuck up, but when someone starts saying the person they're mad at is "clinically insane" that's when you gotta look at both sides. As for her being a cow, she's been around a long time, I'm sure there's gotta be a paper trail of similar behavior she's exhibited.

Having just received a diagnosis for ADHD and had my entire world torn apart by having the confirmation on paper, I have even more contempt for all these quirky online artists who claim to have undiagnosed mental issues for social points. It's all fun and games joking about neurodivergence but knowing now that all the behaviours I hated about myself and spectacular academic failures are up to the fact I'm medically retarded is actually a massive burden of shame to overcome. I haven't even told anyone in my personal life about it, let alone put it anywhere near my artist circle on social media. Anyone who is overly inclined to tweet on end about the most crushing setback in their life (besides trying to reassure or advise others with that burden) is an immediate red flag to me.

Am i the only one struggling to get a fucking vgen code? I've been trying for 2 months sharing the post they make but nothing. You can also get a code by sharing a post of yours and if it gets a lot of interaction you get one, but I'm one of those artist who got 400 followers so this won't work for me either. I also don't have vgen friends that could shared one with me kek…
So there you have me sharing the fucking post every monday like a retard for a 2% chance of a code. Lel.
I wanna try for vgen because after ia I wasn't able to get a single commission compared to last year, and I don't know where to post my availability anymore, I tried on discord but realized that you need a vgen code to merely say the word commissions open without getting banned. So, I'm out of ideas. Sperging over

No. 2278994

Maybe use fiverr or make some posts on reddits dedicated to commissioning artists until you can get a code. It's not like being on vgen is going to guarantee new customers anyway. I don't think people browse that website by itself, they usually follow an artist and only go on their vgen profile if they post about it on social media. Also focus on building your social media presence

Initially I tried getting a code through interactions/engagement, but then one of my followers randomly messaged me saying they had a spare code and offered it to me. I admit it was by pure damn luck.

I personally suggest you try to get one through giveaways on Bluesky. Even with many people moving from Twitter, Bluesky still doesn't have that many people so giveaway posts end up with very few applications, making it a lot more likely that you'll win something. Back when I was searching for a code for myself I saw giveaways on Bluesky that had three or four entries max, while on Twitter nearly all VGen giveaway posts had well over ten.

Good luck nona!

My point is that there's always an audience for images of 2D males. But if you built your account by posting female pin-ups your drawings of men obviously won't get the same attention from your audience. Just keep posting what you like to draw and maybe look beyond social media numbers.

I have a very close friend who is a TikTok artist (well, TikTok isn't her main platform, but more like her second. Anyway) and I did ask her about this one day when I was considering hopping platforms to get away from Twitter.

She says that in one hand, it can be a lot easier for you to gain a following and numbers. Trendy art memes and "aesthetic" something-core speedpaints can get a lot of views really quick and if you're trend-savvy you can use that in your favor to maximize engagement and stats. On the other hand did say say that you need to have some divine patience because it's CRAWLING with kids and people with the IQ of a spoon, and the same way it's easy to get numbers in there it's also just as easy for your posts to get dogged on if they decide something in it is "pwoblematic'. She also dislikes the fact that most of the comments she gets are whatever meme internet slang has been going around lately. She doesn't expect full art feedback but seeing four "mama x behind you" consecutive comments on a single post again and again sure does something to your faith in humanity.

All in all she says it's fine but really not the best place for artists. If you're a more meme type of artist or you do animatics or basically anything that has to do with short punchy videos then maybe, but outside of that it's kind of meh and can bring you more unrest than good.

The only artists I've seen get doxxed are ones that consistently get involved in drama due to fucking up time and time again and never learning. I'm the artist who posted earlier in the thread about people spreading grooming/pedophilia rumors but because there's no proof, I haven't gotten so much as a callout, just mentally ill faggots circlejerking each other about how much I victimized them despite not knowing who any of them are. I used to be mortally terrified of such things though when I regularly engaged with spaces that had a lot of callouts posted though and it stopped me from chasing a lot of my dreams. I don't mean to give unsolicited advice, but maybe you should also seek to separate yourself from such spaces?

It's not a stupid fear especially in the world we currently live in but the chances are extremely low, I think. If you're really that paranoid, you can not post any irl photos that stalker weirdos will hone in on and you can not take commmissions so your irl name is safe. Despite the rumors against me, despite how people think I'm "anti-femboy", despite having multiple selfies posted, despite how people think I'm a manipulative controlling abuser, despite taking paypal commissions regularly, despite having tens of thousands of followers, I have yet to be doxxed. The secret is that I literally just mind my own business and don't acknowledge any of it because I know it's horseshit.

Initial lay-in is gestural that's sort of a combo of all 3 of the figures from your pic, then cleanup with getting perspective and landmarks right.

At first I was a fucking retard, don't get me wrong, use this first part as a guide for what NOT to do. My own loneliness took precedent over anything else at first, I grew extremely fast and was starstruck by all the people who suddenly wanted to talk to me after a long while of isolation (I fall on a sweet spot between level 1 and level 2 autism, so social contact is difficult for me), so when people began asking me for a discord, I said yes and was more willing to divulge personal details.

I thought because I had good intentions and wanted to be fair to everyone, drama wouldn't find me and I would surely be respected in the community, but as it turns out, it's not only your own behavior you have to watch out for. All it took was for me to assert a boundary towards a bpd-chan, have her take it as a rejection, split on me, and run an entire smear campaign for all this drama I'm dealing with now to get started. I really thought that if she managed to turn so many people against me that I was the problem, but rolling over and just taking it only fuels the fire, you can't bend to anyone's will when they talk shit about you or they'll take it as proof everything is true, regardless of the fact that most bad people won't actually admit to wrongdoing. This is why gaslighting and reactive abuse is a powerful tactic, especially in spaces like these where a lot of consumers are teenagers or people in their very early twenties who don't have the life experience to recognize these tactics yet and just go with the crowd.

TL;DR, to avoid shit like this completely, you need to make sure you're not letting in assholes who take things in bad faith into your spaces to minimize your chances. All it takes is one manipulative person who gets angry at you to spread a narrative and get it snowballing. I avoid people with BPD entirely now.

If anything does happen, do not acknowledge it publicly. It may be tempting, I've struggled a lot not to post a story like "these people who are spreading and believing horrible lies about me with zero evidence are going to hell", but this only calls attention to it and will make people curious. Even though it hurts and feels like a world ending event to you, most times it will only be a small group out of all your followers who are spreading the rumor, but calling attention to it only makes people want to look into it, people who could be swayed, people who could be disgusted and want to look more into you and bring you to "justice".

But again, I wouldn't worry. Even though I have a large platform, these people who believe I supposedly assaulted a minor are only sticking to discord gossip. Rumors and drama with no merit won't go anywhere except amongst mentally ill people that most will brush off.

Nowadays, I do still respond to my followers, but my discord is deleted and I don't respond to DMs. I like their comments and thank them when they say they like my work or if they have something else to say, like a question about my OCs or a comment about some property I drew fanart for, I don't worry about it and respond to that too. Don't feel compelled to overexplain yourself, though saying you're working full time is pretty innocent. Really, if you're just dropping art and going, I don't think you need to worry. My issue is that I was a lot more personal with my followers, I was incredibly lonely and my mental health was poor, so I used my art like a diary and when I blew up I think some people just got weirdly parasocial with me, and the more mentally unstable ones probably felt personally betrayed. It's always odd to me when I hear about people I've never personally spoke with talking about me like I did them wrong. If you don't do any of that, I really think you'll be fine. Again, despite all of this, I haven't gotten a callout or a doxxing or anything, most people I've seen get doxxed have proof of them actually doing the thing they were accused of, but if you're planning on being pretty private and keeping to yourself, it may just be the anxiety talking. It's easy to convince yourself that it's a real danger if you read a lot of threads on here or on kiwifarms or watch drama videos on youtube but these are just a small handful of artists amongst the thousands who exist online and piss people off and get into drama. I promise you'll be okay.

Sorry for the TL;DR blog but actually living through this has been a real eye opener and I hope a more detailed account can help.

Realistic anime about creating anime and how stressful yet rewarding of a job it can be, as well as touching on how hard it can be to get your career rolling. Quite literally a 24 episode long love letter to the industry.
>New Game!
This is about making games, but the main characters are all character artists, except for one who does motion animation and is just in their booth. It has ecchi and male-gazey moments but there's no men in the show and the yuri is genuine and isn't bait. Two of the women get married at the end of the manga, it's great. Watching the main character Aoba move up in her career and achieve her dreams is immensely satisfying and motivating.

Extremely retro, based off of a pornographic visual novel but if you like 16bit sensation, which is about games like that, you probably don't care. The game it's based on was massive during it's era, it's about making doujin for comiket.

Sad-ist, a popular animator and YouTuber with 3 million subscribers, residing in both the Dream SMP and Stanley parables fandoms, is being accused of grooming. In a night, her entire discord staff turned against her for sending her NSFW animations to minors aged 16-17. All alleged.
She was extremely popular and influential in the DSMP fandom, with tens of millions of views on all of her animations, the YouTubers involved being close friends with her and reacting to her videos. I suspect there’s lingering jealousy due to her basically being the irl embodiment of a fanfic self insert who’s art is loved by all her fav YouTubers. Mr beast uses her art for banners for crying out loud. Ethan Becker, another cow, made a video on copying her style.

The author says that there was someone younger than her in sad-ist's group chat, but she won't specify their age. It's manipulative to leave that out because, "younger" could mean anything, it's too vague. It would be so easy to reveal their age while keeping them anonymous. The author also won't clarify that sad-ist didn't groom anyone in the doc, even though people have asked her to mention this. It's obvious the author's attempting a smear campaign over being kicked out of her discord.

Is picrel your attempt or an example of the effect you're trying to emulate? Looks pretty good to me.

I think the biggest factor is quantity and size of creases. Generally, the thicker and heavier the fabric, the fewer creases it will have and the less "sharp" they will be. A thinner, lighter fabric will have more creases, tighter bunches, narrower folds, etc.

Additionally, how do you start learning from studies?

Instagram feels the most "normal", online spaces atm are in general extremely polarized and people are cruel on any platform but I get the least amount of comments there that indicate the commenters are either children or people looking to take my posts in bad faith. Youtube shorts and TikTok are also decent for artists I'd like to say, but they have more children, though you can repost your shorts across all 3 platforms to maximize your reach and see what works best for you.

Twitter seems up in arms atm, I didn't think bsky would make a dent in it but it seems to be growing fast. Maybe you can jump on the bluesky train while it's still new and growing and see if you can garner an audience while there's less people trying to catch fish.

I think any nonas here making Discord servers should honestly make them strictly 18+. Like yeah I know there's not much difference between a 17 and 18 year old, but this shit is so retarded I wouldn't take the risk. Honestly I'd suggest making servers 21 years old+ if you can. Of course, there's the risk of the age limit being seen by some discord users as a free for all to unleash newfound levels of gooner-ism never seem before, but that might be preferable to being accused of grooming online. Either that or just ban all semblance of sexuality from the server, which is surprisingly hard with how much coomer shit is normalized in art anyways.

Exactly. This is the generation with a dozen sexuality flags in their bio, they know about sex and kinks and openly talk about it. They just feel powerful being a minor with the ability to "cancel" adults. Even as a kid browsing the internet in the early 2000s and coming across sexual art and fics, none of it was traumatizing. What was traumatizing was coming across actual real life porn, but zoomies aren't out here going after men and their degrading porn, they just want to cancel popular (female) artists they are insanely jealous of.

Lol, I'm having trouble with this one JP artist (Sagami Jon) too.

The art style is so bara (even did character designs for some bara game, I think) but they also draws het porn where the guy is the main focus, with the woman sometimes domming him (granted, both women and dickgirls but still).

Just scroll through their gallery and guess if it's either a gay scrote with small bi leanings or a straight fujo poisoned by bara manga.

Oh God, this woman. She's a fujo TIF in her 30s who does weird porn with an incredibly unerotic art style.

A man could never draw a woman in a swimsuit with proportions this normal. Also her poses aren't overly sexual, she just seems like she draws pretty boys because she likes them and the muscles are just love of the craft and admiration for the form. I had to scroll down until her 2021 art before I saw something that felt risque solely for sexual gratification. I often draw sketchy dynamic poses as well, it's just something you do when you love drawing bodies. It feels good to be able to draw a certain pose you haven't drawn before, or to be able to physically feel your improvement by drawing a complicated pose in 2 minutes or less. Making fully fledged drawings looks neat, and it's good for the portfolio but drawing a bunch of rough sketches in 30 minutes can feel more personally gratifying.

I just published my 23rd post on DAD.gallery as a weekly poster and I can confidently say that joining that site was the single best artistic decision I've made in months. Not only has it been good for my consistency (which was previously appalling) but the nature of the site forces you to evaluate your art chronologically, removing any of the bias that comes with third-eye social media self-perception and allowing you to see right through to what needs to be improved. Frankly, my forms and sense of depth are absolutely ghastly… but at least I know that now! It also excels at extracting the communal motivation that we crave from social sites with (as far as I am aware) none of the toxicity due to the rarity of comments and interactions.

>draw a woman with a vagina and visible breasts in a relationship with a male.
>call her a boy or "nonbinary"
Literally, what is the point of this? They always make the very obviously male character a TIF, too. Why go through all the trouble just to draw a heterosexual couple with extra steps? Picrel is probably the most obnoxious example of this for me.

This is all very cringeworthy to me, it's desperately trying to emulate something like MTV's downtown but without any cohesion, originality nor proper sense of style and aesthetics. Just vaguely 2000 inspired and ripping off pre-existing tired tropes.

Saying this as a white person, but I always wonder if the same people also champion white people not looking like all the other regular anime characters but them instead being the only one having a wonky face and big nose like picrel, to represent our white ethnic features.

Figured this was worth posting. Used to follow this guy's work when I realized he was a league of legends splash artist about 7 some years ago. He would would regularly disappear and come back but his most recent hiatus was probably the longest. Appears to have gotten roped in as a rave gear/merch artist. Vague, sad titles to all the recent videos. His art has noticeably taken a nosedive in quality. Shakey lines and loli bullshit with color vomit. Nowadays I'm pretty distrustful of moids that have a gallery that's 99% girls as it is, but I didn't realize I was still subscribed to him. He was recently offering paid classes for $250 that only 1/100 spots have been taken. Comments on his videos are sus of it being a hacker but I'm certain it's him and he's just desperate for money. It's also funny because he built up his channel on offering all of this info for free for years, like this might have gone over better had he posted like 4+ years ago.

I know it's exaggerated cartoon humor, but I feel a bit bad for the "mean girl" in this artwork. She teased her for wearing jorts and got a very heinous-looking trashcan dumped on her in return. Or maybe Kate overreacting/being an asshole is the point, idk kek. It seems like the worst the popular girls have been portrayed doing is just making mildly snarky comments about clothes.

Nonas is this artist going by anomalybroccoli using AI? Or tracing art?
This person keeps sharing art in a discord I'm in and promotes and sells it to others. I got a little suspicious because the top 2 are posted with only 2 days apart and look fairly detailed, but it's not like it's impossible to draw it in just 2 days. Checking their instagram their art quality is too awkward/lacks fundamentals even for AI, so I brushed it off at first. But it's still so… inconsistent?

Playing the devil's advocate here for a second, knowing how to draw everything else doesn't exactly mean you're able to draw a good chibi.

It looks like you've come across the old school version of rendermaxxing (picrel). Not everything awkward looking is the result of AI or tracing and her art is too consistent for that, what you have come across is someone who knows how to render but lacks a good understanding of construction and form, depending on symbol drawing instead, you can see this in all her art with a background. Top right reminds me of the way glip used to draw and she was absolutely horrendous with form.

Here's a good example of what I'm talking about, the background is most likely referenced (which is fine) but the depth seems a bit wonky and those towers are very curvy. The subjects are like a sticker over the top, the owl is extremely flat and lacks form and is also landing at a awkward angle onto a flat arm, and I could go on and on.

I don't think it's AI but that they trace over a photo and use stamp brushes a lot. You just don't go from making detailed realistic human bodies with clothes and wolf faces to… a 12 year olds first chibi attempt. You can see in the pieces that have backgrounds that the backgrounds are a different style than the characters (either way too much detail or way too little detail) and the perspective doesn't match because the artist doesn't actually know how to draw backgrounds on their own.

before someone suggests it, dont be outwardly terfy on your account. TIMs dont care and will find it as an incentive to hate follow/troonwash your art out of spite rather than be repelled because they are male at their core and always need to barge into spaces they are not welcome in. You can try shaking them off by drawing women with adult proportions and mature themes; avoid following trends and drawing trope characters since trannies are especially attracted to trope characters rather than OCs with existing characterization. Being cold and not allowing for parasocial relationships with your following also discourages trannies attempting to butter you up into drawing "girlcock". If you still have trannies on your tail, do not engage with them, do not even look at their posts, do not like, respond or acknowledge to it. Even lie about having your notifs off for non-mutuals as an excuse as to why you dont read comments. It sucks that we have to take all these precautions just to post what we want, but hopefully with the surplus of goonerslop hentai artists trannies will get distracted and leave us alone for just a little while ugh…

How is that being dense? She could digitally sculpt her dolls and print and sell them as blanks (or just sell the .stl files) but you can't really do a "line" as a BJD artist. Typically traditionally casted resin BJD usually don't come with clothing and accessories unless it's a full set (which are almost always limited runs and small batches)
The focus here seems like it's on the clothing and accessories so unless she put a disproportionate amount of time and effort not commonly seen among sculptors she couldn't really have a "line" like playline dolls have

Thank you so much. I wish it was easier to find other artists like that, I am mutuals with some of them, and I regularly draw, but I never posted publicly as I always worried they'd go after me or some sort. I just hope if I ever start commissions they won't get offended if I don't do their requests.

Her designs are way too intricate to produce without selling them at a super high price. The different body types and the tons of articulation are things she should have axed when designing, unless she's looking to self fund very limited batches. The waist joint on the human body has very little point, and she could either sacrifice the joints on the horse body for the arm joints on the human, or sacrifice the joints on the human body for the horse. The elaborate clothing would need to go. The inset eyes would be way too expensive. They would all have the same base body just with different colors, and the heads could possibly have different molds. Centaur dolls are just so complex and require more materials the chance of them getting accepted for a playline doll out of a very limited one off character is nearly impossible. I do think she had cute designs though.

medsperging is always apreciated kek, this artist also drew a character with a leg prosthetic that doesnt have a socket attached to it so its very clear shes only doing this for virtue signaling rather than genuine representation.

I just checked her account and it seems to be pretty tame with no explicit art. Still, I would not be surprised if her show comes out, minors discover this account, and they start trying to cancel her for her nsfw art even though the version of Kate she is drawing on her nsfw art is legal age (you can tell because her tits are round and not pointy like high school Kate). It might be kinda stupid but it sounds possible, even if the cancellation attempts wouldn't really work.

Ignoring the price issue and assuming everything was possible, my quirky ass thinks the idea is fun but I don't actually like the execution.

I understand she wants to see different body types represented as a larger woman herself, but I think they'd look better if they were more uniform, and it would make swapping their clothes easier and more fun. They should all be horses/the same animal, not a goat and a cow thrown in here and there. You can do an all goat line expansion later and give them their own magical twist. I also honestly doubt (if she's going for a kids market) any little girl is going to go "omg I finally get a fat girl who is a literal cow, just like me!" like girl- that's not gonna help lmao saying this as a former chubby kid, I gave 0 fucks about dolls being fat and I would have been so insulted if anyone insisted I had to play with fat toys "like me". That would have messed with my self-image more than any anorexic-skinny Barbie doll ever could!

Honestly also think they need to be less unique in their fashion senses. Instead of doing "cowgirl cow" and "asian street fashion horse" they should at the core all pander to the same human taste, and instead just come with a light flavor of each unique style. Like how bratz dolls all managed to have unique styles for each doll character while they all still clearly have the "bratz style". That style could then be swapped around for different series/sets so you could give them all a cowboy look, but that one horse has a slightly more streetwear twist to hers, and another has cutesy florals added etc. Right now nothing is really tying them together as unit.

And lastly their clothes are a bit too sexy/porny. Garter belts is definitely not it for a kids line, and even for adults, it comes off as lingerie meant to be sexy which isn't something you want for a line that walks around with their ass hanging out in the open. It should be changed to look more like whatever horse belts/garlands are called.

Instead of adults she could make them tweens and give them slightly pudgy bodies that would blend well with the chunky horse legs. Or have an adult line with a younger line with less defined bodies that are more pudgy with baby fat. I honestly think they would look cute if they were aged down and had more cutsey children's clothing than adults with themed outfits. I'm imagining something like emerald the enchanting witch(picrel) or whatever it was called but with a chubby pony body. It would fit her vintage style better as well.

It's frustrating to hear but after you get to a certain level, you begin to be able to SEE anatomy from an artists perspective, you can see things and just be able to dissect how to draw them and even if you can't draw it perfectly, it's enough that learning becomes easier bc you've already gotten through that hurdle.

Thanks for linking the thread, this is incredibly interesting and leaves no doubt in my mind that Juby is just crafting a narrative that serves her. I'm dying to know what Genice has to say about it but I doubt she would say anything unless Juby forcefully drags her into a public twitter spat, genicecream seems too professional for all of that, meanwhile Juby just straight up cannot control herself.

I think she's trying to bait genice into saying something, she said in that twitch stream how if she says even a single thing that she will jump on her and drag her, that she wants everyone to know how horrible and sociopathic genicecream is but she doesn't want twitter drama because it's a "bad crowd". Meanwhile she keeps repeating herself over and over, the same shit, about how she's such a victim and she's too nice, etc etc… it HAS to be bait, it just has to, she's crafting this narrative, pre-emptively planting in everyone's head that genice is actually literally satan incarnate so that less people will take her seriously and will jump to her defense if she DOES try to defend herself. I'd be more willing to give Juby the benefit of the doubt if SHE gave genice ANY semblance of nuance in her claims, trying at all to empathize with her and how this may have happened, but she's just completely discrediting her and making her out to be the worst of the worst. That's not what a victim does kek that's what a bpdemon on the warpath does.

Has anyone her experienced their art getting worse over the years rather than better? After years of practise I seemed to hit a sweet spot two years ago where I had the creativity and confidence to try a lot of new things, then as I learned even more I started putting more pressure on the stuff I created and now everything looks stiff and lifeless. Sure the anatomy is great and the perspectives are correct, but then I look at the art I did two years ago which is worse in terms of technical skill, but somehow "feels" better in terms of everything else. Could it just be nostalgia for the times I enjoyed art or has anyone else experienced something similar?

No. 2296411

I've experienced issues with my art when I was either actively going through an extended traumatic situation so my brain power couldn't really go towards art or I thought I was getting good enough that I didn't need references anymore. I think nostalgia also could be a factor as it's easier to feel like your old art was better when your improvement was still new and you were more impressed by yourself back then.

I don't know if this is the right thread for this, or if fandom discourse would be better or something else. Anyways, I think Velinxi's art is generally pretty good, and I actually really like her dvattra stuff for the most part. But the way her and her orbiter cronies joke about them being lesbians or ramattra being butch is just incredibly cringe to me. I feel like I've noticed other artists who have a similar shit sense of humor where gay terms = funny/quirky, and it's just incredibly annoying. It comes off as a massive cope so they can laugh off being into a straight ship, because they'd be seen as lame for being genuine about it.

By “tests” she’s referring to artwork kek, it’s like how companies may ask artists for animation tests before hiring them.

Tbf I understand wanting to be paid for your work as an artist, especially by a company like disney/marvel, and this was part of a larger thread where she said they pay artists poverty wages and they hadn’t sent her pay for work she submitted 2 months ago. So I can’t fault her for calling out big companies(because those companies can exploit other artists too), but where she crosses the line is trying to tear down other artists and affect their livelihoods. She treats them with the same level of vindictiveness as powerful evil abusers or multibillion-dollar corporations, when they’re just regular working people(and her former friends) she had some arguments with.

It's an unfortunate reality that the competitiveness of the art industry makes it so a lot of artists have to accept doing unpaid/underpaid work/internships just to be able to get their name in the credits and break into the industry. She is not exempt from this. "For exposure" is a meme when random fuckwhores on reddit try to get you to draw for their project for free, when it's Marvel you're being GUARANTEED exposed to people who will give you lucrative opportunities in the future. Maybe this is why genice is more successful than her kek

She doesn’t seem to be interested in either of those, it looks like she makes money primarily through patreon from her 800 patrons and probably twitch subscriptions too. Juby’s been popular a long time so it’s not surprising if she can live off her fans.

Marketing these to children is weird. Centaurs aren't popular fantasy creatures amongst children. The kind of kids who will pick up a centaur toy are the ones who are really into mythology, and those kinds of kids will find the modern fashion off-putting why does every fantasy doll nowadays insist on using modern fashion? Horse girls are also going to find this off-putting, since they just want to play with regular horse toys. And kids into fashion would rather dress up a human doll because their clothes looks more "real".

Hasn't that always been the case? Fashion dolls are supposed to dress… fashionly, and what is considered cool is whatever clothes are trendy/modern at that time.
I wasn't a fan of human-shapped toys when I was a kid besides Bratz though, so I'm not very knowledgeable. But I have always seen dolls are trying to be modern, not many kids would find appealing clothes that their grandma wore, even if trends are circular.

I had many princess and fairy dolls that had ball-gowns or leaf inspired dresses stuff l. It definitely was contemporary takes on dresses like that, but they they didn't use accessories like sunglasses, belts and miniskirts. To be fair princess dolls like that did exist when I was a kid, I just didn't care for them lol.
(incoming autism) Amongst the centaur dolls, I think the Marigold character is a good mix of contemporary and fantasy elements. She is covered in flowers, which is expected from a mythological creature associated with nature. And she has some design elements which feels vaguely rococo (pastel colors, corset and necklace) which invokes a feeling of the past. This is the sort of things I would look after in fantasy toys as a kid. While obviously modern, it still would have felt like something that could pass as historical in my child mind. I didn't know what rococo was as a child, but what I did know was that design elements like this, reminded me of old paintings.
The Minerva character on the other hand feels too contemporary. She is inspired by eerie forests, Sleepy Hollow and autumn, but I'm seeing none of those elements. Why is she wearing a crop top? Eerie girls who live in the forest don't do that also the outfit used for inspiration is kinda coomerish. Though doll itself isn't coomerish to be fair The same goes for the Nara character. The thai elements are cool, but nothing about her says tropical jungle, which is a shame because tropical jungles are beautiful. Tropical jungles are also known for being vibrant and colorful and the characters colors look so muted compared to the jungle pictures.
Basically, you could give these two characters human legs and put them in any other setting. While the other characters at least have design elements that tell us what sort of environment they are from. Though Marigold is the only one who has a nature-y/"ethereal" feel to her. So for me, in order to make a fantasy fashion doll, instead of a modern fashion doll, elements from nature should be used (even if it's just something simple as adding flowers) and inspiration from historical clothing should be taken.

I'm not trying to racebait here, but it's so awkward when people randomly give anime characters darker skin or racebend them. It's obviously virtue signaling. Nobody can say anything about it without being called racist so everyone has to pretend that these racebent characters are completely the same as fanart with the canon designs. I normally wouldn't have a problem with this at all but these same people will dogpile artists for drawing a darker skinned character with slightly different skin tone from the colorpicked hex codes. They also will get mad if other people don't draw the racebent fanon version of a character instead of the canon version. It's really just awkward trying to navigate around the racial obsession.

Here's all I'll say on the matter. Whenever these topics come up, whether on twitter, here or otherwise. How people view whitewashing and raceswap have two different reactions. People come up with excuses and scenarios where whitewashing a character is okay, even if it doesn't fit a such a scenerio i.e: "It's just lighting, oh that's the artist style, it's pastels, they're not comfortable yet drawing xyz." whatever. Meanwhile people argue why raceswaps shouldn't exist period.

At this point in fandom, we've already kind of shrugged our shoulder at all the numerous ways fanart transforms the original work. Drawing characters especially children as more developed than they are, more muscular, or just straight up like pornifiying them, giving them different hairstyles, different facial shapes, furry version, AU-versions, ectera- That going "I draw a line at the raceswaping" looks hypocritical.

>Nobody can say anything about it without being called racist so everyone has to pretend that these racebent characters are completely the same as fanart with the canon designs.
I don’t think it’s that one sided (though it never was, just remember what happened with nessa). Recently there was a lot of backlash to this girl’s fanart for a few days. Look at the likes on the top 2 posts, 372k, 202k, which outnumber the likes on people supporting the girl by far. You can imagine what the rest of the comments to her are like.
I don’t think a 16 year old girl deserves this much hate on something she likely thought was a fun trend she saw other people doing, this was an overreaction built up from years of drama and will only encourage hypervigilance on opposite sides. Everyone is too reactionary.
(Personally I’m of the camp that prefers to see more black ocs, don’t really care for blackwashing especially when the most frequent subjects are shounenslop. Focusing on ocs seems like the best of both worlds, plus it means less hate from trolls and you’re spending your energy on your own creations instead of series made by misogynist moids who will never be inclusive like you want)

Yeah this sucks for her. Honestly I don't get why people keen on diversity bother investing so much time into things like anime or genshin or whatever since it's the opposite of diverse.

I agree that I would prefer people make their own OCs rather than racebend existing character. But I also think a lot of OCs are genuinely irritating because they are made to virtue signal and suck in pretty much every other aspect. I have a few major pet peeves:
- the most random fucking race mixes ever. If the point is representation why not go for something more possible?
- vitiligo, esp for characters based on animals. Given that "cow" is a common insult for kids with vitiligo, maybe this isn't the best route. Bonus points if the vitiligo is extremely inaccurate.
- characters that are literally just their disabilities, fashion sense and nothing else. Bonus points if the disability in question is written inaccurately.

Picrel is actually a human version of Rain (a horse) from the Spirit movie, to illustrate the inaccurate vitiligo virtue signaling. I am not a medfag but I am pretty sure this is not how this works.

Also Okarun’s english va, AJ Beckles, changed his pfp to black Okarun to support the artist, then changed it again the next day because of harassment.
NGL I think it’s cowardly a grown man can’t even stand by a teenage girl as she’s being harassed, while his gf/fellow dandadan va, Anairis Quinone, changed her pfp to brown Momo and still has it that way despite her qrts and mentions being full of trolls + her own boyfriend wimping out.

I think (any)bending is dumb when the artist is pushing an agenda but I can't help but feel like situations like this give racists trolls free reign to attack black people in the open without getting any kick back. It would be one thing if the racebending artist had a smug attitude or claimed she was 'fixing' someone else's art. It's also funny how western weebs are getting hyped over "Japanese" users getting fed up as if white guys haven't been google translate asianfishing for years.

I agree that making OC is the best course of action, but it isn't a perfect solution. We're to the point where OCs and completely original projects are overlooked or being labeled as woke garbage for even having black or brown characters without any troon or gender shit in sight. Anti-wokes don't care about anything that isn't pure untainted white nipponese and wokies will attack if your OCs aren't disabled, fat or trans enough for them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I don't think there's an issue when people wanna draw anime characters to look black so long as they make them look like normal fucking people, but then on the other hand it's so obvious when people are virtue signaling. I don't think that 16 year old was virtue signaling though as the characters look normal as normal can be, I think the worst I can read into that is her seeing her friends doing similar things and wanting to be like them since that's just what teenagers do.

Also I think the only reason Japanese people are getting upset is because they keep getting harassed, otherwise they stay in their own lane. They view us as fucking retarded for always fighting over stuff that could be solved with taking responsibility for curating our own online experiences and racist pedomoids are no exception kek they're like trannies who think they can be the exception when women tell them to gtfo.

I think there's definitely a point he's making but being a moid himself he's never gonna full understand how to get the point across. Somewhat unrelated, but it reminds me of this A/N in the manga Inside Mari where he admits to wanting to be a woman but realizing his desires are futile because he will always have a male brain and will never understand what it's like to truly be a woman. Without being able to understand what it feels like to be a woman, those types of drawings will just come off as a quickly consumed Saya no Uta esque aesthetic drawing and won't ever look like anything deeper.

I agree there's a point to be made it just criticizing lolicons while straightforwardly using their aesthetics feels hypocritical. I don’t know how to word it well but drawing loli while condemning it, just everything about him feels like some "nonthreatening male feminist" shit, like trying to seem like one of the good ones. Not that liking moe means you can't dislike the pedophilic aspects but you have to have a level of intentional cognitive dissonance, and posturing about how you totally hate loli especially as a moid just seems like he has something to hide.

I accidentally severely pornbrained myself by becoming so entranced with moe culture, I just couldn't get enough of the art and the animations, and this indoctrination started at 11 years old, and by age 13 I was consuming 4chan's /jp/ board and shit like oreimo. It became so normalized to me, the first time I genuinely felt sexual feelings towards an anime woman was when I was 17 and it was a girl with huge fucking tits so I thankfully didn't become a pedo or anything but it still led to me seeing nothing wrong with those types of drawings because it just became so normal to me. It took me until my twenties to realize these people are unironic pedophiles who aren't just spouting memes.

To them Japanese is at the top, European just below, Chinese third or last depending on the day, Korean on the floor and everyone else scaled from lightest to dark. Few JP netizens gave a fuck when westoids forget that the most anime characters aren't supposed to be white because they think its flattering to be the "right" kind of westerner. It's obvious they covet white features and their fantasyland version of European culture, that's why illnesses like Paris Syndrome exist.

I agree somewhat with this, it’s better to make your own OCs but really it’s not like the artist wasn’t making some political statement when she drew that, it’s the chronically online weirdos who did that.

Plus I saw someone else make a good point, it’s rich how you know the same people who get up in arms about changing a character’s skin color have no problem changing a character to suit their own tastes, especially the pornsick tards who give normal female characters larger breasts, change their personalities, etc.. That also goes for the porn doujin creators or even normal fanfic writers, is it not disrespecting the original creator when you do these things? I remember how the publishers of the anime horse show and Frieren made an official notice about porn shit depictions of their characters being forbidden and people got pissed about that and still do it anyway too. It’s all so tiresome.

I don't think the effects a nuclear bomb would have back then were fully understood, and on that note, the Japanese were pretty on par with the Nazis in terms of atrocities. It's just nobody remembers or cares because of their kawaii-ification psyop. Look it up, Hello Kitty was LITERALLY created to make people forget about all of that and see Japan as less aggressive. Not to racebait, but the Japanese have a need to seem the victim at all times and go to lengths to make sure people see them as such.

Genuinely don't think anyone who uses the term "blackwashing" has ever taken an art class in history. If you can be taught the very real, very deliberate background of whitewashing and in any way compare it to a 16 year old making an anime character black, then you are genuinely retarded. Sure, it might be in the same vein of shitty tumblr drawings where characters are drawn as every minority group in the world, but that still is incomparable to whitewashing. If the extent of blackwashing only goes to a shitty drawing you can scroll away from, then is it really a problem?

It's odd because there definitely are Japanese women out there who are against loli and recognize that the way Japanese men are with loli is completely different from we in the western society think of loli. Although I don't agree, in the west people can make the argument that it's just drawings or that they're not harming anyone, women in Japan have made threads on how JAV and lolis actively hurt young women there.

All that is to say is that western society thinks we're similar to Japan, but the way that they view fiction and the tropes within it are different to us. They see these drawings as harassment because they hate when you edit their pure anime because it's important to them for some reason. They get really upset over redraws or traces that aren't even political. If you take an anime character and draw a different character over it, they will act like you're the devil.

This is always what gets me. It's good to have representation and obviously there is complexity/nuance in the topic, but this constant "I have to be able to project and self insert to think this media is worth my time" sentiment that seems to dominate both fandom and even normie convos just baffles me. Is it not enough to relate to a character's motivations and feelings? They HAVE to share your identity in a 1:1 way for you to feel invested? I'm a mixed brown lesbian so I've never seen a character who truly "reflects" me, so maybe I literally just cannot understand, but it seems like a very limiting way to engage with media. I grew up playing white moid protagonists in games and never felt any specific way about it, but moids act like they'll die if they have to play a "girl game." I feel like it should be a cool bonus when your identity is reflected in media, but not a prerequisite to engage with it at all.

But they do like peaked noses, larger eyes without a monolid, and light features like blue eyes and blonde hair. I think it's bullshit that this poster is denying that they covet Anglo features.

It's not racist, but its the same way you would be able to hear a rock song and think it sounds like it was influenced by jrock.

Stupid complaint, but I wish it was easier to find personal art of artists. It's so easy to look up fanart of anything but how do you find artists when you don't really know what you're looking for?

No. 2304039

look more for topics (eg worldbuilding, character/creature/prop/environment design/profiles), within genres (fantasy, horror, sci-fi, etc or more specific to art movements such as surrealism, impressionism etc), in tags like 'oc art' etc, and sometimes certain artists will be more likely to post personal art than others (eg gallery artists or various strains of designers). I know some anons complain about it, but from my experience it's easier to find artists posting personal projects on Artstation than a lot of social media sites (not that they're not posting on them too, it's just harder to find because of how those sites work imo). I've also found artists I enjoy through things like painting videos and looking people up after seeing their work at an exhibition/gallery/their name in the credits of published media they worked on. Each artist you find is also often a stepping stone to others, as they tend to like and follow people making similar things or other interesting original content.

tbh I think all good art requires a bit of effort on your part to find, even fanart– the skilled artists who have interesting ideas while playing around with existing ip often get buried by generic sketches and memes, or will be harder to find due to language differences.

My understanding is that she's saying that living artists can be original even if a lot was done before. People stretch the argument that nothing is truly original and everything is made from previous ideas, usually to hide the fact they copied an artist. She asks then why would they follow new living artists if they could potentially reach the same results with only old masters. I don't think she is claiming to be 100% original, she's just pointing out the flaw in their logic that nothing new can't be done.

That's still too old. Everything you're citing is old as fuck. I think the most relevant thing is the X-Men movies and upon looking it up, there's one token black individual shoved off to the side. These days, when I'm talking in a space online shared with teenagers where we all have similar interests and Homestuck comes up, NONE of them know what it is, and you seem old enough to be able to remember the absolute dictator style grip that comic had on internet culture. Why would kids know about that shit? And even if they did, why do they have to cling to black depictions from before they were even born and be happy with just that?

Teen Titans Go is extremely unserious and Young Justice is 14 years old. When you're 14 years old, you're more concerned with what's new and trending and makes you look cool for liking. I'm not doubting that Miles Morales isn't the first black Superhero, when did I ever say that?

Trends are trendy because they work. Kids love trends because they love being able to connect to their peers, your social status is everything to you as a kid and they want so badly to fit in. If you think me saying that there should be more black people in media equates to forced diversity, you may have some biases you need to address. Yes, a lot of companies like to capitalize on calls for diversity, but there being more than an obligatory black guy to satisfy the masses shouldn't be seen as woke-ification. That's dehumanizing.

Yes. That is exactly what I'm saying. Kids want shiny new toys, that's been known since the beginning of time. Especially these days when tiktok has rotted everyone's attention spans and creators fight to stay relevant, I feel like people here who take their social media careers seriously should know that more than anyone. If you leave things sitting with no updates for a while, everyone is going to forget about it, and eventually, the brand is going to become uncool and the younger generation won't want to touch it unless there's some miracle and it becomes trendy again, like the current scene culture resurgence. I also have my media from my formative years I cling to and get shocked when I realize kids don't care about it, but that's just the way it is. Star Trek was literally the biggest thing ever in the 20th century and now it's only old people who talk about it. Same with Harry Potter, it has a reputation for being a hobby for 30+ year old women. Things just simply go out of date, and people inspired by the old things make new things. Even if we were to keep rerunning these old shows over and over, other people would still create new cartoons and movies that would steal the spotlight. Acknowledging this fact isn't gullible, it's being realistic.

And it needs to be something like shortform comics, in order to get them attached. People like characters they can see themselves in.

I don't doubt it had it's popularity but I'm saying it's past it's prime. I associate it with shit like Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi and Teen Titans which had it's run in the limelight but people have moved on because it's an old show with no new content. People moving on to new media when they have no new content is a normal thing. And just because some scenes went viral on certain portions of the internet doesn't mean kids are lining up to watch it. It's literally about to get taken off of HBO max, less people are going to have access to it. I don't understand what you people are freaking out about. If you can't fathom the fact that kids want to watch things that are current and new then you must be the one in a bubble because you just must not interact with kids.

What are your favourite hobbies and topics that aren't art related? Try drawing inspiration from those, for example an artist might really like marine biology and the ocean so includes a lot of naval and marine imagery and this also influences the way she designs characters etc. If you don't really have anything like that (though you'd be surprised at what interests you can push into art) you could try researching fashion from different eras, medical anatomy, art history, stuff like that.
An artist's style forms naturally, but when you're in a rut with a very stiff muscle memory sort of style, really researching the whys and hows people made art can be incredibly inspiring and sort of resets your viewpoint, there's a lot to be gleaned from medieval and renaissance era art, surrealism, impressionism and expressionism, even post modernism has a few things to say (though be careful with this movement) and so many other movements. Another way you could work out your stylistic choices is to do art studies of your favourite artists and try to get it as 1:1 as possible without tracing or colour picking, if they've made speedpaints it'd be a lot easier to snipe things from but it's very possible to do with just looking very closely. At the end of the studies (I used to pick three to six pieces to recreate) you can work out what choices you'd like to implement in your own art and what you'd rather not touch again.
TL;DR- implement non-art interests, research and style snipe.

I understand that characters will always have some traits from the creator, I just find it so distracting whenever it’s so blatantly obvious from whatever supposed story the artist is trying to convey, if they even have one per se.

I get where you're coming from, but sometimes it's just because an artist is very lonely rather than a self obsession and I can't help but feel sympathetic. In the most extreme case of this, I follow an artist who is a hikkineet because of mental illness and she's physically disabled and deformed from a suicide attempt and she spends her time role playing as different faucets of herself. Gendies and handmaidens who do this I find more annoying and egotistical, they already have a built in friend group despite how inauthentic it is and gendies by nature are extremely boring and create boring things because of their egocentricity.

Unfortunately she's a chronic DFEr so I have to gatekeep her just in case a slight influx of followers causes her to move accounts again. Picrel is her work (albeit very low quality because its a instagram sc), she draws a lot of realistic gore and art about her attempt, and she has very interesting but sad worldbuilding- the world her story takes place in is inside her corpselike rotten body that is puppeted by a separate spirit, the rest of her ocs are the various parasites inside her, two of which (picrel) nag the spirit into being increasingly self destructive to the body with the black one in particular wanting her to die.

She has her edgy moments but I think it's offset because she genuinely loves the anatomical makeup of the human body which sets her apart from honestly really lame gore artists like >>2302015 (anyone can draw a anatomically inaccurate hole tbh) and the fact that all the gore art isn't supposed to be humiliating or edgy and shocking or scary is really pleasing.

Won't say her method but it's one with a very high success rate and one likely to traumatise other people. Meant to say disfigured rather than deformed but she's lost basically the entirety of one leg and part of her remaining foot and, judging from self portraits and art about the event, heavy scarring along one side of her body. The areas she's missing her leg and foot both apparently feel unbearable phantom pain daily and seems to have issues with her internal balance as she feels tremors in the ground even when sitting down (she's from a country with virtually zero earthquakes per year)

I actually really love those artworks because they perfectly encapsulate the TIM cult mentality. Men want an escape from real life so they begin fetishising the idea of ‘girlhood’ (as designed by the patriarchy) so hard that they end up deluding their sexual fantasies into reality. Yeah, these paintings go hard as fuck. I don’t care if the artist intended to be sympathetic to troons or not, I just like these works as they are. Cool stuff.

Not really but I don't think she needs it, she currently lives with her ex who seems to be very nice judging by their former and current interactions with each other, she's in therapy and outpatient rehab (the injury kind, not drug kind) atm and the money she would get from the government is a somewhat liveable amount if you subtract medical fees. She really just needs recovery time and the difference between her mental state a few years ago, or even last year to this year is really night and day, she's much happier.

>Any reccomendations? Have you ever watched a video that you felt actually helped your art?
In full honesty I think videos that inspire me that makes my heart beat faster and gets me pumped up to create art have done more for me than any actual "art info" video. Videos/tutorials can be helpful when I know exactly what I struggle with (like perspective, drawing a certain object or body part, picking a nice color palette…) and what I want out of the video. Just casually watching them doesn't teach me too much. But watching a new creative video from my favorite band motivates me and makes me actually draw more!

Most anime fan moids I've seen can like cgdct shows like that yes, but for fanart specifically for example a lot of them tend to like the porn and suggestive art of the characters even if they'll still like normal drawings. One look at the average male weeb's twitter and it's them rt'ing suggestive fanart of their favourite shows, even when they're not really super sexualized in canon. Another thing I'm thinking of is getting good at drawing pretty boys as well and sexualizing those instead.
>>2309184
Sure, but by that logic you wouldn't draw any normal female character art out of fear some moid out there might like it. It's just a pattern I noticed where some artists won't draw anything sexualized and they'll tend to have less male followers (gooners especially) compared to the ones that center their entire art around drawing half naked girls.

What are you talking about? References are not training wheels, using them is a normal and expected part of the artistic process. Most artists use references, and the only way to get so good you can draw without a reference is to use references. And maybe you can't find the exact reference you want for, like, a woman running in a flowing silk skirt, but you can easily find separate references of a woman running and a flowing silk skirt. I'd also recommend familiarizing yourself with fabric/draping and using movie/tv stills as references instead of static photographs to maintain a sense of motion. Tl;dr you're going to struggle without references for a very long time, but eschewing their usefulness is not the answer.

Thats a great analogy and one of the things Ive struggled with as well; references are great, but when you dont have them its harder to draw from memory and it ends up feeling stiff and unnatural. how Ive been practicing is by doing warmups that improve confidence with dynamic folds, these warm ups dont have to be the most accurate and the anatomy can be simplified for fold practice only, all that matters is that you get the hang of drawing the pleats and folds smoothly so you dont over rely on a direct reference. Some folds i practice are bent arms, loose sleeves, and skirt pleats, these gestures are heavily simplified and i usually set a timer so I dont over compensate on the details and focus on getting the basic motions. I hope this wasnt too confusing since Im self taught and mostly go by the flow until it looks good. You'll eventually get the hang of it and start to memorize key folds from practice and analyzing photos

ntayrt but I think what nona is getting at is that when you over rely on references in order to draw, they become detrimental when youre unable to draw something from the mind without it. Often its a sign you are not learning and analyzing from the reference, but using it as a crutch akin to tracing. References should be used as tools that you use occasionally to fix and tweak a drawing, and while they are always used regardless of skill level, another key to practicing art is being able to draw from the mind efficiently. hope this makes sense

obligatory disclaimer, but theres no set rules or "wrong way" on how to draw, only habits that could hinder your personal progress on improving; they dont necessarily make you a bad artist, its more of a road block that you eventually overcome with practice and experience; having someone to help point you to the right direction with advice speeds up the process.
An example of these habits being over relying on reference, do you struggle with visualizing a pose or idea without finding an image on pinterest to mimic? do your studies off references look stiff and wonky? Usually thats a sign you need more practice in gestures and building confidence from drawing from the mind.

I agree with >>2309207 that a show and fanart creators are two very different markets. Those moids watch shows to find character bases which they can then look up coom art of, so if an artist is true to the show and doesn't provide the coom those moids are not interested for long. To be frank Japanese moids also aren't the same as average western moids.

Use sequential references so you can see how the clothes change and conform to the body while in motion. Practice maintaining volumes, and learn basic clothing physics like tension points, weight, elasticity, stiffness/flow, and the structure of the clothing items. It can feel like a lot to think about at first, but really it's no different to learning anatomy and you'll eventually get an understanding for it without needing to think about it much.

Looking into it more, seems like the prices are possibly also lower to account for various fees like import taxes.

The ancient battle of "truths VS ideals".

Does any nona like either of these designs? Asking because I honestly don't care for either. I also find the left's big chin and wonky eyes and boring ass outfit to be mildly off-putting, and the right's coom shit is gross and makes me not want to touch the game either. I'm sure some people would call it sexist to not like the left one but I'm assuming she's literally designed to look like an average woman, and as a result I think she looks boring and average… so I don't see the big deal saying it like it is. I fully get that it's upsetting to see men call a "normal" looking female character ugly but I'm kind of on the other side where it annoys me I have to "be nice" and be like "ALL women are beautiful uwu" as if that isn't just the other side of the same coin insisting female value lies in beauty. Saying this as someone who gives 0 shits what men think looks good, I wouldn't be interested in a game with a plain average looking female the same as I don't want to play coom shit games. Make her an ugly old witch crone and I'm all over it, I don't need female characters to look like super models I just want them to look appealing or interesting in some way.

Canonically Mary Jane has usually been a fashion model so she should be pretty or at minimum wear some interesting outfits. Her personality in the new games is very different to how she was written in the comics, she's supposed to be more extroverted and flamboyant in contrast to Peter. If they're tuning down her looks and personality why not just replace her with Gwen Stacey who was originally designed as a girl-next-door more similar to Peter in temperant?

I agree, I don't like either. For the left, it's because she's bland but also because she's so clearly an actress' facescan– I don't like looking at a character, who isn't like a movie tie-in so needs to be accurate to the film, and just being able to tell I'm looking at some real person's face. It's autistic, I know, but imo it weakens the overall design by it not being an intentionally made aspect of the character (sometimes this is okay, but other times it can be a bit idk off? uncanny?). I know why it's done, but I still dislike it kek. The right is obviously coombait, but I also just don't like every other stylisation choice regardless of that, and it's also too obvious that the character's appearance tells us nothing other than that she's 'sexy', making it also bland but for a different reason than the left one. I also feel like I'd seen her a million times already the day she was revealed, she's so generic.

When it comes to 'ugliness' in female designs though, I think the problem is that being bland and frumpy is the direction a lot of female character designs tend to take, rather than something more 'characterful'– if you think about it, a lot of uglier male designs will be interestingly weathered or have exaggerated features that still result in an appealing design.

She's an artist who use her art to conciencie about circus, (bad) zoos, why some animals aren't good for pets, how to deal with pet loss, etc. But in this comic it feels like a slap in the face at everything she did before, because she used to cite reliable sources and now she's citing the sea version of Peta.
Worst thing is that in this comic she's not only showing the people of Faroe Islands like "evil and blood mouth demons", but most of the "go vegan!" sheltered people are asking why they cannot just buy stuff from the market. Yeah, go ahead and buy a $12 lettuce that will last for few days vs meat that can be freeze and last for 6 months.

The problem is that women's beauty is hyper focused. You don't need to find women pretty, but everyone nitpicks female characters looks because society overvalues women's beauty to a annoying extent to the point it's not even a character, just a gratifying visual.
>I wouldn't be interested in a game with a plain average looking female
But you're interested in games with average looking males? Because a lot of games are like that and nobody ever said a word. Also, I think it's fine if they don't want to play because of that, but the child trantrums men throw online at every single game that doesn't fit their criteria is peak retardation. Especially when so many other games still have pretty women. So it's's not only about games, it's about punching women down.

Plain colors -> Soft airbrush shading (cover large-ish areas like the bottom half of the hair or clothes, make it subtle but still noticeable if you stare at the image for longer than 4 seconds) -> Paint main shadows (what the sun casts) -> Give main shadows a bit of airbush as well for color variation -> Paint reflected shadows (look at the hat casting shadow in the hair, or the little bit of light that passes thru the hat's holes) -> Doesnt appear on yout picrel, but bouncing light is always good (at the extremes of your shadow parts, remove a bit of shadow or color it with a lighter color across the border, stuff like floor or random objects can reflect light back to yout character) -> Play around with color curves and filters.

All of this requires you A) Color knowledge and B) Shape understanding to know where and how to apply shadows, but that's the general procress.
There isnt a magic trick that will make your art look good without you putting some effort on it though, you can't expect good results if all you do is to lazy around. You can give someone the most expensive meat and spices, but if they didn't even read a single cookbook or tocuhed a frying pan, they will probably burn the meat or use the spices wrongly making the dish taste awful.

Ayrt, personally I haven't say a word because in general I give zero shits about a boring or fugly male protagonist, it's so far off my radar I wouldn't even be aware of its existence in most cases. I don't tend to comment on female characters either though, I only commented on this one because it was put in front of me here on lc.
>Either angry because they're not their impossible ideals or angry because other female gamers want different things than them.
Another anon mentioned they both seem like they're designed by men, which I agree with. I don't see women championing the design as good, saying that is exactly what they wanted in a design etc. Women just seem upset that "an average woman"-design is being scrutinized for not being sexy coom for men. Which is of course fine and justified, but I think in this case it would be a bit hypocritical of me to go "ugh men only want sexy designs" when I literally find the same design off-putting too. Then it's just me going "how dare you call this ugly off-putting female character ugly and off-putting!!!".
It doesn't seem like men are angry that women want different designs, it seems to me like some men now design boring female characters and expect praise for it - from women - when they at no point stopped to ask a single woman what kind of designs women actually like. It reminds me of the first ugly sonic, someone really thought that was the right direction to go even though it was so obviously ugly to anyone who cares about sonic and all they had to do was ask. Still feels like no one is designing "for women", and we still kind of get blamed when female characters look boring and ugly as if it's what WE wanted.

>but I draw the line at sapient beings.
I mean sure, but the comic was about whale hunting. A chimpanzee is not in any way close to a whale. One of whales closest land-living relatives are cows, which we literally farm just to eat so it's really not that different. If anything keeping cows should arguably be seen as more cruel because we feed and protect them as if we're their friends when the entire time our intention is to kill them and eat them and their children kek. The whale is a free wild animal who gets hunted by other whales and sharks, it's already part of their natural life-cycle.
The problem with hunting whales (or any animal) is OVER-hunting them, which those small remote communities where they need to hunt them to survive do not do and it's why they're legally allowed to hunt whales while others are not. A deer and a cow has just as many feelings as a whale.

NTA but I want variety. The looks of a female lead doesn't matter if the character herself isn't interesting. I'm glad to see more women with different faces and bodies appear, but they need to have a personality to match and not just be the "token unconventional woman". I also want old women or women in their 40s and 50s as protagonists. Rugged women. Complicated women with life experience. Carol from The Walking Dead comes to mind. The actress is gorgeous and the character she plays has plenty of layers towards the end of the series, yet seeing the likes of her as a protagonist or lead is rare.

To be honest, I was talking purely from a design point, not about whether I wanted to fuck any of the characters used as examples (that's not really a motivator for me when it comes to gaming tbh, and I didn't think that angle was the only one we were discussing since MJ clearly wasn't designed with that market in mind anyway, unlike the Stellar Blade lady). When I do find a character attractive, it's usually a mix of them having an eye-catching, well-thought-out design and an interesting personality and story. My problem with 'safe' designs, coom or not, is that they blend in with other examples from similar media and that just doesn't engage me or make me want to seek out the game they're from etc.

(also I really hope I'm not coming across as dissing things like Love and Deepspace, I'm glad that those who enjoy it have something that they feel caters to them, the example used just looked bland to me as a character design)

Rendermaxxxing still needs knowledge, art is composed by lots of different skills, what those people lack in proportions they compensate by coloring.
But from someone whose art still kinda sucks to another, my trick was going from the usual anime style to a paintery one. If there are lots of colors (as long as they're coherent) your brain will find the image pleasing. Give your brush some color jitter, texture brush and don't get limited by lineart, giving the general idea often does the trick. Zoom in on picrel or simply check old masters' paintings, they're just blobs but when looking from a distance it looks good.
You can also color pick from art you enjoy or even copy/trace small details.

I honestly think it's more impressive when people can make incredibly simple art that looks good because it shows off the depth of their skill. If you just focus on rendering and nothing else, your art is gonna end up like Kooleen who is only capable of drawing bust-up shots because everything she draws below the shoulders looks uncanny but she has her youtube reputation as an art authority to uphold.

Make her pretty without oversexualizing her and give her some personality and interests outside of whatever man she likes. That’s it. Honestly, I don’t think a lot of women have a problem with a design being somewhat sexy as long as it’s apparent the character’s entire purpose isn’t to be eye candy. A sexy but not oversexualized lady with some personality is the perfect balance. And if you’re going to make her average looking or ugly at least put some thought into the design, like an interesting outfit, unique facial features, or good shape language for more stylized art.

This tbh, like I genuinely don't understand how moids get so tripped up writing women. I just don't. There's a reason characters like Raiden Shogun are so popular amongst women despite blatant sexualization, it's because she's her own person.

This video honestly puts why women and teenage girls are drawn to transgressive media extremely well, she starts talking about it an hour and 54 minutes in. It's a beautiful video and I recommend the full thing if anyone has time.

Samefag but holy shit I actually feel kind of betrayed like this. Like I'm actually in shock. Doing some research, all references to this person being trans were taken down, and I found an ancient Hibari-kun video and the voice is a lot more deep and masculine. I thought I had found a creator I could actually relate to because I was raised by the internet and groomed by cumbrained men online, I thought this person just GOT it, but no, those are that person's factory settings, and when I think about it, the Elfen Lied explanation of why teen girls liked it sounded like it was from an outsider perspective, but I thought it was just for journalism's sake.

There’s this idea that’s been going around women’s social media about a “second puberty” that happens in your early twenties where you start looking more curvy, but I think it’s just women gaining weight because of lifestyle changes.

Also, if your boobs are that pointy after puberty then do they really get so round if you gain some weight? My boobs were never pointy so the drastic shape change kind of throws me.

I mean I give stock to that theory solely because I looked like a 13 year old until age 22-ish.

you expressed it so well, i felt so betrayed and disheartened to learn this. the person i had looked up to during a dark time in my life was a fabrication; not a shining bastion of hope for gay autist girls looking to be happily married one day but rather a stark reminder of the demented clownworld we live in.

a girl from his outcast friendgroup at school i'm sure. he talks about this friendgroup fondly in his elfin lied video iirc and how they exposed eachother to new stuff. i can't stomach going back to watch any of them now knowing he is the same copy paste tranny that skinwalked me during my time at school.

Agree. Normies are wowed by pretty colors, but when you’re an artist yourself you realize it takes good knowledge of fundamentals to make something simple yet appealing. You can’t rely on rendering, you have to make the basic structure hold up on it’s own. It’s why I’m personally more interested in seeing sketches/linework.

As much as it pains me to say though, the true test of artistic talent is drawing feet. They have a very specific structure a lot of artists seem to struggle understanding, plus you have to put them in the right perspective to make it look like a character is actually standing on solid ground in three dimensional space. If the feet are drawn well then everything else is usually drawn well too. Once you start looking for it you realize which artists know their fundies and which ones are just style/rendermaxxing.

I honestly felt so betrayed I started digging looking for actual proof and history beyond just videos and saw that at one point, him and his wife were just a heterosexual couple, straight up. I remember in the Tenshi Muyo video she had a section where she mentioned her age and it clicked that she must've been a lot older than him, but they were both adults so I thought nothing of it, but I wonder if she groomed him. They're BOTH weird. I also found some selfies he posted to twitter of himself in years like 2010, 2013, 2016, and he looked like the exact brand of kid who approaches you as the weird autistic girl and takes advantage of the fact you're kinda slow and have no friends to assert himself sexually. Maybe that's just a projection but that can't be an experience isolated to me. God. I felt so happy to hear him talking about the queer woman experience, but now the assertation just feels like a compensation.

That’s pretty much what I said, your basic body structure/proportions doesn’t change, you just gain weight because you’re not living the same life. I’ve seen women on Insta who are in their early twenties talking about “losing my teenage features” but what they really mean is they don’t look super skinny anymore, or maybe they have some fine lines / barely noticeable wrinkles now. God I hate youth worship.

We need to go back to the days of women's arts circles and trading zines. I've been thinking about doing this with an irl friend, just biting the bullet and forming an art club in our town. Memberships would be controlled, we could learn and build skills, and maybe sell locally. We live in an artsy town that does regular arts and maker markets, so it would be doable.

I totally agree with both of you, but quoting from my own post
> i am making characters for a game and its my only saving grace for them to look good
Learning how to draw to the point your simple sketches are appealing takes decades, and i am planning to work on this project this year. My goal isnt to get good right now, but rather learn how to make appealing characters using rendering to hide my begginer faults. One of the things that stopped me from working on my project is that i suck at drawing, and that it would take me probably a decade to be good at art, even if i draw and practice literally every day. That's why i am asking about rendering. Pic rel is a good example of what i mean, its anatomy is attrocious but looks nice thanks to its rendering.

The anatomy isn't atrocious in that drawing, it's incredibly stylized. Not in a "i dont need anatomy, its just my style!!!" kind of way, but in the type of way where the artist clearly knew what they were doing. The way this character is drawn makes it seem like he's meant to look serene and inhuman. The clothing folds are expertly done and the legs curve in all the right places, and the arm positioning feels natural. The character is just incredibly stretched out, which is why it looks that way. This isn't a matter of rendering, and the rendering isn't that detailed, it's just shiny effects/lighting and would probably look pretty flat without it.

I'll never forget early tumblr. Truly 2012-14 was peak. Back when Hetalia and early Homestuck was big was such a great time for me.

Nothing was used as a platform for social issues and nobody selfinserted onto the characters.
