>>2422912Late to the party but i love 60s-70s Playboy artists. My favourites being Ben Denison and Dink Siegel. Siegel's art is specially breath-taking to me. As someone who loves color but struggles a lot with color theory, i am astounded at his use of color and patterns. If tried to do something similar to his work it would end up being an eyesore for sure. His art is so detailed too, despite the simple style. I love the way there is always so much going on in the background of his art without being overwhelming.

Been listening to some more of Twisted Disaster's recent streams and the BS has been kicking up even more with two particular incidents. The first one pertaining to her health and how she claimed that she didn't have her period for almost all of 2024 and was having "phantom periods" and she thought that it was fine and that she didn't feel the need to go to the doctors because she didn't think it was a big deal until she started experiencing excruciating pain at the beginning of the year which finally got her to go get checked. I was just in disbelief of her retardedness there because it should be obvious that when you've continually missing your period, there very well is something wrong and you should go get checked but this grown ass woman waited close to 7-8 months to finally do something. The take away quote she said about it was "Tee hee, is this what normal people feel like?" (in relation to not having her period for months on end).
The other thing that is more recent goes back to her continued job hunt since her art is not paying all her bills and in her last stream, she talked about how she recently applied for a company and how first, she claimed that the company told her that her background check was taking too long even though she sent her info within the 24 hour time frame (there always seems to be something when she's applying to places). But then she says that on the application, she put that she's a Jew and that she can't work on Fridays & Saturdays because she practices Shabbat and long story short, someone else got the position over her. And this bitch really thinks that she didn't get the job because she's a Jew and has experienced racial discrimination. Keep in mind, she says herself (all the time) that she's not a religious Jew as she doesn't practice Judaism but that she's an ethnic Jew but more importantly, it's obvious that the more than likely reason she was passed over for the position was because she wrote down that she couldn't work Friday & Saturday. Had she not said that, she probably would've gotten the job.
All this to say that it's just another example of her trying to play the victim as per usual. So she has decided to buckle down and just try to really push her art again as she thinks that her not getting the job "is a sign" that "she's not supposed to work part-time" and needs to continue with her art. She was able to make it into an artist alley at a con that her friend is going to pay and she'll pay them back bso I mean, good for her but honestly, she's fucking delusional and doesn't seem to realize that she's the one making it harder for herself with getting a job. She has quite the demands for someone who has been out of work for 10+ years.
>She expects to be paid above minimum wage
>She wants a job where she doesn't have to work weekends (understandable but can be tricky to find)
>Doesn't want to work warehouse job because her "chronic illnesS" (aka her obesity that contributes to her issues)
>Doesn't want to work a job where she has to look at a computer screen because it'll jetlag her when she goes home to do her art
>Applied to work at a post office but was afraid she'd face "hate crimes" for being "non-binary" and not being referred to as "they/them"
And now this. I'm just bewildered at how this grown ass woman cannot see that the only denominator that's making things hard for her situation is herself.

No. 2458831
>>2458813Agreed. She just needs to grow a backbone and tell these people to fuck off and focus on what SHE wants to do, not what she thinks her fans want her to do. She was clearly doing that in the first few iterations of her designs where it did feel like she was doing things that she geuinely liked before she started catering to gendies and she needs to go back to what she was doing before.
>>2458800Pretty much all of what you said. It will never be good enough and never mind that gendies and troons are a fucked concept to begin with which only makes catering to them worse. She needs to focus on the Y2K vibes that got her out there in the first place because it felt like she genuinely liked it and she still managed to find people who liked that style of her work as well.

>>2458981Her success was purely off the fact that she emulated the very specific feeling of 00’s animation very well. It’s not like she has an ongoing comic or real narrative that’s being adapted into a show, it’s just bits and pieces of a general concept that she fleshes out occasionally. Her changing her style to pander to a vocal minority of 14 year olds while in active production on her show is just shooting herself in the foot. She has a large following that is there for the vibes and once you change that most people are going to lose interest.

>>2459095But that circles back to the question of what if she just wants to? I prefer her older style too aesthetic wise, but she shouldn't be forced to keep doing the same art style over and over if she doesn't want to. And she is still a tif zoomer, so expect her to do tif zoomer things. Yeah, people probably aren't going to like it, but who really cares? It's such a nothingburger case of milk.

>>2459215He has a lot of TIM markers that would make you think he's definitely gonna troon out, but I think there's actually a chance of him being too normie and self aware to actually do it. The "teehee
toxic girlfail lesbians" posting has extreme male coomer vibes, but he might be aware enough to realize he's a moid with a lesbian fetish but also realize yuri posting is very popular in dorky internet spheres so it's a win win for him to post that stuff. He's probably just a coomer in the same way most standard moids are instead of the autist way trannies are.
Strongest red flag was that drawing of him with the "girl failure" helmet, though, I don't know how to explain that. It would be funny if he's actually baiting trannies on purpose.
Shen's lesbian posting pisses me the fuck off. It's not even directly his fault, because he doesn't engage in any of that discourse, but the way we had multiple years of seething at fujos or any woman writing gay men because "muh gay fetishization" (to the point even trooning out and claiming they were gay men themselves couldn't save them because "muh internalized homophobia"), but a guy that isn't even outwardly trans can blatantly advertise that he's a yuri coomer and all he gets is a bunch of TIMs immedeatly yass queening the hell out of him… makes me seethe hard.
Also, not about him possibly trooning out, but if we're gonna be constantly analysing Brujo Ari's artstyle regression, what's the deal with Shen's art regressing so bad? It looks so shitty compared to his old art. Did he just realize he can get the same amount of hits with less effort or does he actually think that looks good?

Does anyone remember when kyle carrozza was arrested for cp and apparently he denounced another artist in the past for drawing immoral stuff (I think loli or shota stuff) which made the proshippers mad, and when news came out of his arrest people were checking in on the artist whose career was ruined because people in the industry broke ties with them or something like that? I think people were saying sorry to that person for going through that due to the irony of a guy busted with cp saying that he thought that artists drawings were disgusting so he was being fake.
I remember she had a YouTube channel of her dancing on her porch or something and that’s what the comments were, people saying that her accuser got arrested. Was this the same person who worked in amphibia and got exposed for drawing porn of the characters on her private or was that someone else?

>>2459282When I look at art like this, I'm not worried about the "same face" since it's focused more on high concept and graphical illustration (and thus, decorative with enough storytelling for a person to project upon). In fact, I'm finding that my own art is hitting a certain "wonky" level as I go into this despite being comfortable with life drawing and opting for something illustrative/manga-ish.
Anyway, I like the fast and loose, carefree storytelling; the solely decorative quality that you can lose yourself in. Some of them feel inspired by a passing thought, a meditative trance, an drug trip, or a dream. I like seeing the use of technical choices (layout, color scheme, etc.) that clearly come from knowing what they're doing.
One of my favorites is when you have a "sameface" and suddenly, a realistic character that stands out in a jarring way. I love the chance for juxtaposition as a way to show off both my own and similar artist's skills. It's why it's not a good idea to force yourself into one style: it gives you the capability to reveal your cards as you see fit once you find your stride.

It feels like I'm never able to correct the mistakes they point out which often times are two of the most boring fundies I can think of (imo): Proportions and anatomy. Anatomy is the lesser of two evils but proportions make me want to game end myself. I just can't understand it? Every time I crack open a how to draw book it's the first thing I see? They ask you think in heads but they never factors into my art so everything feels ever so off. I can at least see some merit in anatomy since I enjoy learning the different muscles. But proportions? Each proportion exercise has left me angry with my wobbly fucking drawing hands and inconsistencies that I don't bother anymore. I'd rather sing the bone connect song while drawing arm muscles.

>>2459717Its interesting how men never struggle with this line of thought. Men dont care about potraying men of other races(or even their own) as attractive or worry about how others might perceive them if they draw ugly characters of certain races. I think it just boils down to most people valuing beauty above all else in women, but not in men. Thats why even gendies who draw ugly fat vitilo bipoc blobs get angry if you dont want to fuck them, because they are women and they are taught to value beauty above all else. Meanwhile men draw shit like picrel or uncle ruckus and no one gives a shit.

So this is more than likely going to sound so very dumb of me to ask but I really need to ask this and it has to do with taking commissions. I've been taking commissions since 2017 on the side to my irl job and I have not been doing taxes on them. I assumed that because I wasn't making a ton of money form them, it wasn't necessary but I was recently watching a video talking about commissions and they mentioned taxes and now I think I've made a grave mistake. I never heard of taxes and art together outside of it being your main source of income which is why I hadn't even thought about it. Yes yes, I know I'm dumb and naive to not have known about this sooner but I just didn't.
I'm just wondering how I should be going about this. I'm in the US and though commissions aren't my main source of income and I only take a few a year, I still feel like I need to know this but I don't know where to start so I figured I'd ask for advice here from other freelance artists who more than likely do it as a side hustle and not as a main source of income.

>>2460084Ayrt and thanks for the link, it kinda makes sense though I'm still a bit confused. I don't own a legitimate business, it's just myself and getting my commissions on places like Twitter and DeviantART with individual people, not companies or businesses. And then of course using PayPal as my main form of payment. I don't recall getting a form I had to fill out on PayPal which is why I was thrown aback when I started hearing all this talk about needing to pay taxes even as a freelance artist who occasionally draws for everyday people who just want their OC drawn lol.
Again, I have an IRL job so I don't rely on my art that much which is why I only do a few commissions a year and sell some adoptables periodically.
But anyway, thank you for your input and I'll keep that link bookmarked. In the meantime if any other freelance artists in a similar position (who also live in the US) have anything they'd like to advise or chime in with, I'm all ears, thank you.

>I doubt they'll care about losing out on a few hundred dollars but if you tell them that you missed payments they'll slap you with insane fees.With this in mind, like I mentioned in my op, I operate using PayPal.

>>2460437Reminder to all that East Asian artists have a similar skill variance to the rest of the world (picrel is Exhibit A), it's just that their secondary art curriculum is harsher and they are taught art differently in kindergarten/early school. A good example of this difference is this one study from the 90s that compared American and Japanese early grade student's art, and the major difference they found was that the Japanese students were taught by directly copying art from booklets and also had more time for art classes, they also had a pretty bad sense of scale.

>>2460487It would be better to make a business paypal just to be safe. You can use the same bank account for it though. It'll also hide your name from commissioners if you set that up. Check if you have register anywhere as a freelancer. If you make less than 400$ you still have an obligation to report it, even if it's too little to get taxed. Never save money on paypal, transfer it over as soon as possible. They can lock your account basically whenever and for however long they want.
Maybe paypal never sent you a tax form because you got money through the friends and family option? But they also only started doing that recently and the tresholds differ. It can be between 600$ and 5000$ made in goods and services per year depending on state and year.

>>2460681She really is and it gets confirmed with every time she's shared her job hunting stories with the latest two ("nonbinary" discrimination & Jew discrimination) being the biggest examples of it. I get that she wants to do her art full time and if she has the means to do that then she should continue pushing on with it (which she clearly can since her husband is the one who is the breadwinner), but she needs to fucking quit it with the excuses and just be fucking honest or at least stop bringing it up.
Because her self-pity in thinking that the universe is against her trying to find part time work is not doing her any favors and she's the one who's making it hard for herself. If she's serious in trying to find part-time work, she needs to be realistic as a woman who's been out of work for nearly a decade. Either take a part-time cashier job even though she'll only make minimum wage or take a warehouse-type job for more pay but may be more physically demanding. Personally I think she's better off with the cashier type job since it won't be as strenuous on her and she'll still have energy to work on her art but I'm probably bias because that's currently what I do. That or she should do a stay-at-home computer job (as much as she doesn't want to do work on a computer because of aforementioned jet-lag when moving onto her art stuff) as she won't have to worry about gas money that she's also complained about which is why she doesn't want to work for minimum wage.
Either way, she's gotta touch grass if she's serious about her job hunt.

>>2461259This is such retarded logic. You can transplant a woman's kidney to a man, that doesn't mean they're both female. Plus, the tomato is still a fruit because it has seeds in it and grows above ground on the plant's branches. The potato is the root part of the plant, and it contains no seeds, so it's a vegetable. Technically if you were to graft a tomato onto a potato plant, that would almost make it a berry, because the plant is a bush instead of a vine or a tree. Pineapples are also considered berries for this reason; they grow in a bush.

>>2460815I like the game tbh, just as a timewaster but i agree with everything you said, i played the original game when it was on LINE and the designs were so charming. its sad seeing the designs go from "food flavored gingerbread man" to "literally just an overdesigned chibi anime character" the "story" is so ridiculous too, its actually impossible for me to take it seriously so i just skip it. trying to have a deep edgy lore on a gamw about
sentient cookies is the goofiest shit ive ever seen lol

is it true that Yaelokre is behind the WHOLE visual production of her work besides the music? way too elaborated for a single person, but not impossible.
someone speculated Chapell Roan might be a pop industry plant and I am so far guessing the same for the Yael girly, but like for pop folk music

>>2461674I've been following Yaelokre from literally the second her songs started coming out
not really a fan anymore, I do believe she is the only one drawing anything and she's not a plant, Harpy Hare just got stupid popular with underage animation memers (to the point were even she is sick of the song kek) and I think her parents are supporting her financially.
>>2461714>>2461721She's not signed to any label and her producer is a no name who has a public history of making music years before her and so does the woman who does her mastering. You guys are underestimating underage fandom animation meme tards, for example GHOST's entire career is because of them.

>>2460066Kek I recently stopped doing commissions for this shit. I'm an eurofag and it doesn't even help that the laws aren't clear or are grey areas where anyone can interpret anything. Where I live I would need a business license to do art commissions (I've been doing them for like 3 years, ready to get my ass blown out by fines) but I make less than $2000 a year and to open up a business I would need like $2900 alone, then add the accountant fees and additional costs. Basically they're telling me to either pay them more than what I earn so I can legally draw stupid shit for people on the internet, or fuck off and not earn anything at all. Fucking leeches.
>>2460928Don't fuck with Paypal's fees, they will block your account and hold your money if they find out you're scamming them through the friends and family option. But iirc you don't even need a business account to send invoices. In Europe they don't count like actual business invoices (Paypal only needs them to keep track of your transactions) and they will fuck you up if you try to make a business account without having an actual business.

I believe it doesnt matter what shortcut an artists uses (3d models, heavy references, the works) it doesnt matter as long as the artist can deliver fully rendered, coherent pieces.
That being said, It always bothers me when they never explicitly state wether they're using 3d models for backgrounds, there are some that can be reasonably understood as having been crafted from scratch but others not so much, like picrel. I know idiot zoomers and ignoramuses would pester them nonstop for "taking unfair shortcuts" and shit but still

>>2461363Kek. I don't understand what is driving her to do this, this one is the most blatant downgrade so far. Look at this shit, as you guys all know your character and pose should be immediately recognizable from the silhouette. Drawing 1 is a tall young woman likely in a formal/modern dress from the close-fit long dress and high heels, posing cockily. It's dynamic and to use a pretentious faggot word, even has contrapposto. It's clearly competent! And what the fuck are we getting from the silhouette on the right? Is that a long lost McDonald's mascot?? A stout and stiff babushka? Perhaps a fucking astronaut? I'm all for artists leaving their comfort zones and learning how to draw fat girls but you have to draw them well. You have to fucking try
