Frequently Asked Questions
>Where can I download brushes and CSP assets?Resources such as /dbag/ are easy to find online.
>How do I schedule my art?Professional artist's schedules are easy to find online, however these may be unsustainable long term and it might be better to use them for references for you to build your own rather than attempting to follow them to a T.
>Is drawing furry or porn profitable? Will it give me clout?It can be, but the market is incredibly saturated and coomers and furries already have artists they want to commission. You will be competing against thousands of people, consider what makes you stand out and if you really want to sink time and effort into something you may not enjoy even a little.

>>2529707>her art is amazing, yet Devil's candy is barely popular and is hanging on a thread, probably hasnt been finished/cancelled yet because its the passion project of the authorDamn kek, I don’t think Devil’s Candy is that unpopular. The first book’s kickstarter got 2072 backers at least and iirc it got a deal with Viz and was being sold in bookstores in other countries too. The fans are just more lowkey and it doesn’t seem to inspire as much memes and autism as stuff like homestuck or ava’s demon(too bad it took a huge hit in popularity with all the drama and hiatuses).
I agree with your point though. As someone who used to read Devil’s Candy, I would say it’s decent, but not particularly novel or interesting to me. It’s what I’d expect from a story about monsters made by anime fans.
I disliked how it fell into some shonen tropes for the female characters, like big titty waifu heroine, a few unnecessary fanservice moments, etc.
There’s also the shy girl who has an unrequited crush on her friend, the male lead. She’s thin and dainty uwu but is super strong while the males of her same species get to look big and buff, which made her focus chapter kind of eye-rolly because she gets “discriminated” against by other monsters for being a cyclops in a field where she doesn’t belong(fashion), except she just looks like your average cute anime girl but with a cyclops eye kek.
And even the flat-chested nerdy tomboyish girl spent a significant chunk of her focus chapters wearing fake boobs and dressed like a big titty witch.

>>2529946Not sure, but the hype is so dead kek. Kind of deserved for the quality of writing(and the character design for newer characters is terrible), but still kind of sad. I remember when the website had its own forum where I’d chat with other fans, and there were so many tumblr fanblogs, fanart, and fan ocs. But there was so much drama between fans as well as people calling Michelle fatphobic/acephobic/racist/enbyphobic/pedophilic/etcetera, as well as the website dealing with DDOS attacks. Even one of Michelle’s friends(Maya Kern, creator of Monster Pop) cut ties with her over something people were calling Michelle out for(can’t remember exactly, may be a sexualization of minors thing or a proshipper thing)
The blessing of a miniscule/nonexistent fandom is not dealing with all that.

>>2529922dvc's an interesting case. most og fans cite tokyopop as their intro to it but there's been a new wave of interest attracted from tsulala's work on river city girls. it got a pop up store in akihabara so there's a push to get it recognised in japan, but i've yet to see a single non-western fan.
DVC starts as a basic monster of the week but keep reading and an overarching plot forms, one that's actually pretty compelling. the themes criticise body modifications and surgery as weaker devils attach stronger frankenstein'd parts to themselves to social climb at the cost of their freedom. the criminal gang overseeing this business are the villains. accidental gender crit, let's go.

>>2530062recognisable characters. the biggest fandoms like HP have infinite self-insert potential with the setting.
fanworks at its core fill in gaps, the most well regarded art makes you want to leave it as is, fiction has to be some level of junkfood to get a fandom, because the worst parts activate our desire to 'fix.'
stories that are either overly fluffy or dark invite fandoms exploring the opposite. i.e gravity falls is a light-hearted kids show giving small hints at intrigue and danger beneath the surface so the fandom was largely AU's. something like attack on titan inspires memes to cope with the deaths, plus lots of fanfiction where everything is fine.
finally, having a story with lots of alternate paths and signposted 'what ifs' invite fans to write ff exploring what might have happened if a character did something different. or timetravel fix its.

I've made a universe complete with politics pertaining to that specific universe that, nowadays, can be equated to the troon happening, except fictional monsters. Rather than coom, they have rape habits due to things I wouldn't be autistic enough to explain about here, and I can see how this would spiral into "my character is X but with exceptions and uniqueness! Like being trans". Bonus points because it started as a deviantart group where I encouraged others to make their own stories within this universe.
I am sensitive as fuck with the concept of people utilizing my own creations for their fetish. I don't know how popular artists can have an IP that suffers such a fate.

>>2530381How do you "see someone as a girl" if anyone can be girl/woman as long as they identify as one? How can someone even look like a girl physically then or be thought of as a girl if you drink the gender Koolaid? Are you supposed to assume someone is a girl then if they wear a skirt or makeup instead by sex? I thought clothes don't have gender and that would be sexist stereotyping.
I know the gender person response would be that clothes themselves don't determine gender identity and there are "gender non-conforming" troons and you ask pronouns, but you also should try to determine if a troon is "obviously" trying to be stealth and not out someone by asking pronouns or if they're trans. This ideology is so retarded.

>>2529935> I feel like it deserves so much more popularity than what it has, considering the quality of the art and the entry level story telling.It’s because it’s not that interesting to be frank, and tsulala has no idea how to promote. She’s a boomer who hasn’t kept up with the times so she probably doesn’t know the most effective ways of promoting her comic. Also look at her Twitter, these days it’s just 90% her posting update posts of her comic which make her page look so ugly and boring, she barely posts normal art now. I’ve kept track of her followers and she’s always losing them at a steady rate. And there’s nothing memey or “hot” about devil’s candy for zoomers, which is why it can’t really get a hold of the largest group of comic/webcomic/manga consumers.
I’ve seen newer webcomics made from younger people, even zoomers, get much more hype on social media more than devils candy ever did which leads back to tsulala operating at an outdated fashion. I consider her and devils candy to be part of the old internet somewhat, she used to post on deviantart like everyone else for example which is a good indicator, and that’s part of why she’s often out of touch.
Also she drew these dungeon meshi fanart a while ago and it got a trillion likes and followers, but at this point she’s probably back from where she started because she did nothing with that momentum and her posts about original drawing flop kek

> Her break was in Tokyopop's first Rising Stars of Manga competition in 2003 as the Grand Prize winner for her work Devil's Candy. She then went on to do 2D character and environment designs on a video game called Fate of Ages by a now defunct company in England called Onisoft. In 2006 she became the artist for a collaborative project between Tokyopop and HarperCollins. The project was a manga adaptation of a series of novels written by Ellen Schreiber called Vampire Kisses. I do wonder what her main source of income is though

She always works with a writer so it’s more a case of people reaching out to hire her as an artist(picrel is more like an adaptation of a novel), but Devil’s Candy seems to be something she and her husband created together from the start, so it’s understandable she focuses more on that. I wouldn’t call it average shounenslop though kek, it’s still by and far more tolerable to read then that.

Pretty jealous about the successful Kickstarer ngl, the webcomic wasn't bad but it wasn't really fantastic either. I see the success as an example of having a small but dedicated fandom. Something a lot of other indie comic creators could follow from.

I was quietly observing this but it really does seem like the adult working art anons left many threads ago kek.
>>2530723Anon you need better things to worry about.
>>>/ot/2417659>>2531115Has it ever occured to you that she wasn't considering you as a part off her market and that's why you personally haven't encountered her works? Also many people successful artists have no online presence nor need one to get jobs fyi.
>>2530732Oh that explains everything. I was wondering for a while why a few anons thought anime adaptation was the metric of succes kek.

>>25312422nd AYRT, I feel like my words keep getting misinterpreted and that's probably my fault kek. I concur with your points, but the fact she isn't good handling social media as it is nowadays still stands and that's not a slight against her in any way. Because that's a different skill set, if someone was great at baking but shit at making cake sculptures that doesn't mean the baking is awful but it's also still a skill gap. And if that's something they're not interested in doing, that's fine. I'm glad she's working and posting at her own pace instead of trying to do that schizophrenic posting style you have to do these days.
Also, I'm not much of a socmedfag, even if she was the best self-promoter in the world I would still have the foggiest idea of her work>Also many successful artists have no online presence nor need one to get jobs fyi.Indeed, I find that more valuable than ephemeral socmed attention and would prefer more artists trying offline routes if that is available to them.

Should i try following the ''rules'' of character design or follow my gut instinct, nonnies? i have been watching tons of videos talking about character design, shape design, simplifying designs to make them more readable, redesigning 'bad' characters etc and maybe its my shit taste talking but i feel like the corrected examples in all of those videos almost always look worse than the originals. But i dont know if its just my shit taste talking or what. I feel like most of the characters i like would be considered bad if we applied those rules. I feel some of my favourite touhou girls definetly wouldnt pass the character design rules test kek
