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.
>Questions regarding AIBoth the AI thread in /m/ or the AI Debate thread might be more suitable.
>What is this style called/who is this artist?Use reverse image search (yandex, tineye, etc.) or the Help Me Find thread.

>>2577851It only happened because of some self hating troon snitch that tattletaled on tumblr. Who knows if that gendie is still lurking here, I did suggest that nonas figure out a new tag to identify themselves with earlier before the event started but nothing happened

If that is the case then kek. Dumbasses have no idea how YCHs work, and that we can just set shit up early
anyway. (it is not the case)

How do you nonnas improve your traditional art skills? For example: what is the best technique for coloring with pencils? Or shadow with normal black pencils?
Did you improve independently (self help book and videos) or did someone help you in a art class or one on one? (Or maybe both)

>>2578362>How do you nonnas improve your traditional art skills? I recently got into acrylics. Like,
hardcore got into instead of elementary school tier enjoying myself putting pigment on canvas. Truly the key is to look up stuff on youtube. Just dedicate yourself to looking up random video made by people that are like Bob Ross but better at explaining things and copy what they do.

>>2578424Shape language autists are such a cancer, these ugly designs never look good and instead look amateurish and corporate. They think shape design is the only thing that matters, so as long as you make your character round like a balloon or square like a fridge its clothes or hair doesnt matter. There is a very popular youtube video on youtube that preaches about the importance of shape language, meanwhile picrel is them ''fixing'' a character. The ''improved'' version is the right one that looks like a tranny btw. I dont know how these retards manage to fuck up such a simple concept as shape design, which is meant to enhance a good design.

No. 2579588
>>2578424I blame the obsession with shape language on Tumblr back in the day. Everyone was going through an anti-anime phase and same face syndrome was a popular topic. It turned into those Homestuck character line ups where everyone tried to have the most unique headcanon for the characters (the female characters always conveniently still had a small cute face and hourglass figure though until drawing them like hulking troons became popular) which then infected every other fandom
You can always tell who's really phoning in shape language in their art, there's definitely people who understand it well but I feel a lot use it as a crutch to avoid learning their fundies

Ok so nonna, about erotica:
I like to draw erotica/sexual themes because for me erotica or sexual stuff is either animalistic as in raw action (esp. nudity, I like to draw nudity as the simply state of existing), connection for two persons or simply having fun. Sex and flirting in fun but of course, me drawing erotica gets me exposed to countless moid that like my characters. I only have girl ocs and of course my public pages are public to get engagement but how I can get my erotica art less appealing to moids? So far what I noticed is:
>Moids like embarrassed or surprised situations like uwaah! You walked in me changing! Oh no, this monster is going to fuck me!
>Moids like characters looking at them, not complicity. They like titty character staring at them or at the genitalia of other males
>If it's yuri, they like both girls looking at the viewer
>In straight fucking, only the cock is needed, they don't like to see another moid's face
>Casual nudity has to include a random fetish for them, that's over ly exaggerated (ex. a nude girl but she has weirdly detailed feet)
>Of course, ahegao or weird turtle faces, sweat clouds, overly blushed areas
So far these are my points about what they like but doing a complete 180 on this stuff, puts me into tumblr style, weird tif art. So far my reach got slightly better when I drew confident women that do not look at the viewer but I wonder if anynonna here has some other tips?
No. 2579615
>>2579606And? Yes, I want my miniscule niche, what's strange about it? My question is: how do I make erotica (which is different than straight up mindless porn but I guess that if you cannot tell the two apart, then you probably don't understand what I do) appealing to women or towards the female gaze more? I don't care about popular shit because I already do popular shit under a different name and I know what the average girl/woman on the internet likes, I want to know how to NOT to appeal to men without going full tumblrina/twitter art because not only I don't want to do ugly shit (I refuse to give moids pretty things), I don't want to learn a new artstyle. Is it really that bad trying to fight off this shit? I don't care about how big my public is gonna be or niches, I'm here to get some opinions about patterns and stuff that men don't like so they would fuck off, they aren't even useful but if I block them, I can say bye bye to my career and my side gig, I'm also a crypto so I know what I'm going through, I just want a more curated space.

Actual question; why are skinny and tall/elongated drawings of humans universally seen as more attractive? As soon as it's any level of stylized/cartoony like fashion drawings or in anime it just looks better to people if the character is skinny and super tall. Usually what in reality would be comically long legs like picrel is just accepted as normal and attractive. It seems weird because people don't usually yearn for comically long legs the same as they're into big boobs or whatever. Like proportionally so much of the body is put into the legs… idk I'm definitely overthinking it.

No. 2579630
>>2579627Not only that but most women into self-sexualization are super mega pickmes who would cancel
nonny at the mere hint of misandry. The only way to appeal to women is drawing pastel pink moeblobs with big fat tits like that ugly shit super sonico. But that's also going to attract tons of moids.
No. 2579671
>>2579625Yeah I also noticed that men don't like women just existing out of their ahegao fantasies kek
>>2579631I already keep my proportions realistic (or maybe on the more cartoonish style but always balanced because I don't draw realism) but the fact is that they see shit where it isn't. Just like I don't believe in modesty shit, I don't believe in only drawing fridge bodies with a bedsheet would make them scram but since they always rely on fantasy and since I'm not a porn brainrotted moid, I wonder what kills those fantasies without limiting myself. We already limit ourselves too much for moids (in the industry, people told me to not too make bodies too detailed or drawing nipples in general because men would harass irl artists because they would come up and say weird shit at signing sessions like what the fuck lol)
I just really, really like women and I like bodies. I like to allow them to exist in my art in a non pornified way and if you,
>>2579632 , believe that all sexuality or sex is porn then I'm sorry for your sad view of it, if you actually believe that two people having intimacy that's carried on by feelings and mutual attraction is the same as coomslop with titty characters and tentacles, I'm sorry for you. There's a difference in being antiporn (which I am) and being sex negative. Sex is fun, can be a nice moment, can help people discover themselves and that's the vibe I want to give in my drawings, that was my question and you said abloobloo you want to cather to moids ablobloo as if they're the only ones to enjoy sex kek and pretty drawings are not only for men, stop kicking your own box because the differences are there, I just asked how to make them more obivous.

You are stupid if you think men see the beauty in the female porn. Playboy didnt show bush in their magazine until the 80s and even then most centerfold continued to be just naked women. Its still porn. Sorry to burst your bubble but it's the truth. Women who enjoy sex like sexy husbandos, not looking at naked women.

nonny, yes. erotica and sex are connected because they are the same thing. Erotica and porn is NOT. Porn is a manifactured product that's aimed at a consumer for their pleasure only, if there's a sex scene in a book or movie that portraits, even explicit-ally (I'm an esl retard) two people being invested in each other or just naked, chilling, doesn't automatically mean porn due to their nature. Nudity isn't automatically porn, women's bodies aren't porn, rape isn't porn because everything needs, again, CONTEXT. If you can't grasp the CONTEXT, then you are media illiterate, that's it. Sex is a natural part of humanity, as well sexual attraction, porn stemmed from puritan views and weird moid projecting their shit morality. We are born naked. Yes, our society got pornified, no, having sex and drawing it is not automatically porn. I'm feeling like I'm explaining this stuff to a retarded kid, I'm tired.

I was in love with someone's art style many years ago, it was unique and soulful to me but she changed it to one that skinwalks a catalog of popular coom artists. I want to keep her old style alive, so I stole it (technique, not actual works). She's been inactive for years and deleted her old work, whether that makes it better or worse. Picrel is not her, just another artist with copycats. Hope she's doing okay but if she isn't using it anymore, it's free real estate.

Please let's bring back bullying in art spaces. 2 to 5 years ago, these "autists" didn't exist and everyone adapted and grew up on a silent etiquette in art spaces, losing art sites like newgrounds, deviantart and tumblr (yes this is still up at a fraction of what it used to be) and making everything social media based created these entitled monsters, this one in particular believes that you have to be her friend but at the same time she is taking a social media break, what the fuck. I can give you countless examples of people that do not understand that artists are merely workers and not random people that are your friends, I miss less connected times and people being more on the shy side of autism instead of being entitled. I have these problems with (surprise!) furry customers (they're the most paying people and I'm cleaning their dirty money by putting them in my terf piggybank) but oh god, after years of art being not only art but useless and weird conversation, I'm totally burned out, we need another space to simply be.

>>2579940I agree with the point about the faces being cropped out in the earlier image. That and the fact that the women look like twins and have the same kind of "cherubic" face.
Women seem to like detailed, expressive, unique faces more than men, who prefer having more generic or minimized faces (hence coomer art styles typically having super-detailed bodies and tiny heads with cartoony faces). Men also like more childlike features on women (gross), whereas women who like women seem to prefer more mature features (not speaking for straight women, some seem to want to project on tiny cherubic women, but just speaking from a f/f perspective). Though anon might think having unique facial features are too TIF-y lol, having adult-looking and well-characterized faces in focus is something men tend to find offputting.

>>2578695NTA but the "overdesign" is easy to avoid, as I'm very sure Genshin and other gachas do it on purpose to make the character look expensive. It's different if it's something ornamental and decorative, but excessive on a story-backed character.
Detailed or simple, the design of a character should serve to tell their story, either their own or the world around them. The Genshin and similar gacha designs don't do that; they're designed to rob an addict's wallet.

who is a tif but honestly I loved her art too much to care became best friends with another tif with an artstyle comparable to that of a literal ten year old despite being in her mid 20s and a very outwardly spedtard tier way of writing the characters from the fandom they were in and I watched as she parasitically sucked away at everything that made the admirable artist so great- her letting her insert her shitty writing and headcanons into all her subsequent work and her artstyle plummeting to boring tasteless shit despite it so unique and inspiring before. She fucked off and barely posts anymore but I’m addicted to checking on her friend to see whatever new shit she has to pump out and seethe about it. I’ve been doing it for a couple years at this point and have speeded about it at great lengths on this site before. I also wish I could stop but I’m still too autistic about the characters she ruined

>>2581206maybe i think this way to hype myself up or cope with the loneliness of being gc in a gendie fandom, but there's something so powerful about being a
terf and consuming… even enjoying! content by gendies. my main fandom is a webseries with a HUGE gendie fandom, like it's expected for you to become a person of gender after being in a while (which is so fucking sad!) and some fans eventually went to work on the webseries, soooo many of them gendies, eventually adding their poison in the content (which is so fucking bittersweet!). it reminds me of homestuck in that context, so i kind of see myself in that girl. and of course there's the constant overflowing stream of trans gcs and fanart and memes and it's all so fucking tiring… but at the end of the day i think it's kinda funny i can enjoy their shit, make silly little fanart (that doesn't get any attention because it isn't coated in thirty layers of poorly designed pride flags) and just pretend to go along with the tq+ stuff, meanwhile these pussies would absolutely explode if a friend or idol of theirs liked a microsecond of a harry potter movie, how ironic!

>>2581829No it's definitely for real, though the point is that they don't notify you. Usually they try to play it off as just random glitchiness, and when they do admit shadowbanning is real they often claim it's only meant for bot accounts and any human who gets shadowbanned has been the
victim of an unfortunate error. Anyone talking about how shadowbans are used deliberately to silence legitimate users is smeared as a conspiracy theorist. Alternatively some have admitted they use shadowbans against perceived "trolls" and otherwise "harmful" users, and if you complain then you must be a troll too.
IDK about twitter's implementation but shadowbanning is verifiable on reddit and tumblr. New reddit accounts start out shadowbanned a lot (probably to do with whether they like your email domain (anything not gmail must be a throwaway for a spammer, right?) and your past account history), so if you post something and check it while logged in, it will look normal, but if you log out and check, the comment isn't there. If you message the subreddit mods (and they're decent, competent people), they'll usually tell you outright that your account is shadowbanned sitewide and manually approve your comment. On tumblr, users who are shadowbanned can't send messages or mention other users, and their comments and asks aren't received, and their blogs don't show up in searches, and when they interact with any post they don't show up in the notes, and their original posts won't show up on their follower's dashboards.

Twisted Disaster did another video and even though she started out fine, she still ends ups saying something dumb and even delusional in her case. For starters, it's so annoying how she says that the world is currently on fire. She's been saying this a lot recently, more than likely because she kept hearing it from her retarded zoomer friends or is just spending too much time on Twitter but nonetheless, I can't stand when westerner people say this because it's just tone deaf and not true. I'd understand if she lived in a place like Iran where things really are unstable and scary because of the war but no. Granted she did have the California fires but even according to her, her area wasn't affected by it as she didn't have to evacuate at all so I mean, I just can't help but feel like she's just being an overly dramatic dumbass.
As the video kept going, she talks about AI and her take, while not anything special, was okay but then she sprinkled in some delusion. She talked about how frustrated she gets when she talks to people around her age or older about what she does for work which is "being an artist" and how these people don't tend to take her seriously and would say things like how it's good that her husband has a real job to bring stable income into their household and she says that she's been doing freelance art for a decade and has been making enough money to cover her bills and to that, I call bullshit as someone who does listen to her streams from time to time.
I don't deny that she probably has been able to make enough to cover things like her phone, internet, and insurance but let's be real, if her husband didn't have a decent high(er) paying job, there's no way her art would cover her expenses to where she'd be living as comfortably as she does. She lives in southern California near Los Angeles and I know the rising costs of living there is ridiculous, even she's complained about that a good few times.
Anyway, I just think it's pathetic that even after all this time, she still feels the need to lie about the reality of things in her life. If her art really was able to cover all her costs consistently, she wouldn't be trying to find an actual stabler job which there's no shame in but seriously, just own it, it's fine. Most of us are doing just that working a conventional job while doing art on the side. I think she just has insecurity because her siblings actually got real jobs and are doing quite well for themselves as I think she said her brother went to law school and her other brother works a conventional job that he's moved up in and they make enough money and more to have a stable lifestyle, at least much more stable than her own and I can understand feeling a little insecure there but flat out delusion isn't the way to go.
That aside, you get to see her abuse the symmetry even more so er, enjoy? kek.

It's very easy to read and enjoy Homestuck on its own (not the epilogues, not the sequel, and not the dating sim slop) as someone who doesn't subscribe to gender ideology. Meanwhile these children shit their diapers when Karkat says retard or John calls Bro white.

I need a second opinion on this nonnas, sometimes i draw sfw artworks and other times i draw more nsfw stuff (nothing too explicit, just spicy) but most of my followers followed for the sfw stuff, and i've been posting more and more spicy content, should i just create a new account to post nsfw stuff separately or continue with the same account and just post whatever i like? I'm torn apart because i don't have many followers on my main already, so growing followers on a secondary account would be a chore.
No. 2583704
>>2583622Depends on the goal. If your spicy stuff is BL, I would recommend making a second account. There's been some weird children online (assuming they're kids) harassing people for drawing BL. Everything else it would depend on if you're
trying to get views and association to your spicy content. It may attract an unwanted audience like how some nonas ITT hate moid followers. That would warrant a second account where you can post to your heart's content without fear of the unwanted attention (selective viewership). If you want to post for the numbers, I say just continue as you are.

nonas, tumblr nona from last week here. i kinda followed what you all suggested (being more social by reblogging some stuff on the fandom i'm into, being more careful with the tag placement, etc etc). posting on Sundays boosts posts a lot too! and making a fresh post is better than reblog as well. i'd appreciate more tips to conquer this beast though!

>>2584201>it's easier for racists and pedophiles to connect over shared hobbies than it is women who admit sex is binaryHonestly what’s stopping us from creating a discord exactly? I’ve seen lolicon servers get banned because they had channels dedicated to posting porn, some of it was loli and that’s against discord rules. Afaik there are no rules on discord that’s against having
terf views right? All you have to do is just follow the rules and the server should be fine.
Are people just afraid of being discovered and getting cancelled on social media? I’ve said it countless times here before, but cancellations don’t do jack shit. The most people could do is send anon hate and have a bunch of tifs block you, people will forget and move on very fast. I can understand if you’re a famous artist in the industry, or hoping to break it into the industry which would blacklist you.
Maybe nonas can just use aliases when using discord so you don’t have to link to your social media accounts if you’re worried about that, and just DM your socmed usernames to other nonas who you’ve grown close with and trust. I also like the idea

>>2581327i don't play along either. i like to "misgender" nb characters or ignore their existence and none of my tra friends have suspected anything afaik. i'm sure you're not completely alone in your fandom nona, knowing the pushback they'll get many people stay silent.
>>2581916exactly, at the end of the day i'm a social creature and i want to discuss the media at hand with fellow fans! i'm kinda shy of mentioning my own fandom since it's even more riddled with kids than ut/dr. it's supposed to be an all ages series after all, and i've kinda outgrown it but i've been here for so long it's so hard for me to leaveeee kek. it's not the cookie run fandom but think of it like the cookie run fandom, they have a lot of member overlap too.
>>2582081man she's a fucking loser and i thought she was some outspoken stacy. sigh.
>>2584080i'm lucky that the friends i've got are fairly normie, at least normie compared to the majority of the fandom. and also we're older than the fandom average, late teens to early twenties, so they're less likely to get really brainwashed by the gendie virus. the most radical thing they do is saying trans rights or using they/them unironically, beggars can't be choosers. it does get isolating when i want to vent with someone i personally know about this whole gender ideology bullshit, i use lc for my gc fix but it's not really the same. at the end of the day i can't really say i'm miserable, but i do feel a little silly by partaking in a fandom that would advocate for my (virtual) hanging if they knew how i actually felt (but it's made of really young people so you can only hope to grow out of those views fast). i'm pretty sensitive so i wouldn't know how to deal with social death, at least i'm unpopular so i wouldn't have to lose a huge following and possible money source.
i like the idea of a server in the sense of improving and giving each other advice in a more personal form, posting the artwork we actually share on our named accounts (shoutout to kirbyanon and that other nona who makes fanart for the homie game). but i'm also very paranoid, and also worried that many of us would clash because we don't have many things in common outside of art and being anti troon.

Oddly specific doubt I've had, but are online circles detrimental to developing your art? And if it is, is it a big deal?
I'm refering to when you can clearly tell when an artist comes from deviantart/tumblr or as of recent, tiktok/toyhouse.

You then end up seeing a lot of western industry leads having connections to Homestuck, too. If anything, it benefitted a
lot of people.
And then there is, haha, Steven Universe.
>is it a big deal? Depends on the purpose behind why you draw. Commercially it can help if you can cater to the audience side that has money. But nothing is irreversible in art.
>How can one still be inspired by online artists but avoid the internet from poisoning your art? Basically avoid creating vivziepop tier art.Be smart about who you are idolizing. But again, personal tastes leads to it being a case-by-case basis. If you think an artstyle is shit, don't associate with it. Mentally blacklist parts of its "appeal".

She says thing like practice doesn't make perfect (which is true) but uses it to justify why her own anatomy skills (or lack thereof) looks so poor and of course, her heavy reliance on using that mirror tool for most of her work these days.
But yet I still watch because even though I find her takes retarded at times, she's like one of the last few YouTubers of old school art YouTube that still makes those sit-down and draw while talking kind of content.

>>2587755Dearest summerfag, I believe you are misguided. Coomslop should never be illustrated by your otherwise purest hands. As you know from your years of visiting and lurking the numerous lolcow boards, you do know women never willingly participate in these heinous activities, right? Ever. It is a sign of giving up one's womanhood to acknowledge coomslop to any degree. I know you've mentioned doing it and it's great you're honest. That's a step in the right direction.
The human form should be respected, especially if you are an artist. To treat such frivolities as throwaway indulgences like that means you've been corrupted by the moid hivemind. As you can see from the other replies you've received, it's unnatural to even so much as
consider these things. You need to look inwardly to find a better place for your soul, a better way to warm up.

Not that a woman can't draw such coomslop at all, plus it never reaches moid level of depravity anyway, but I took the position of "some nonna in the thread saw an artist do warm up coomslop, posted it online, and it left a bad taste in said nonna's mouth". Hence I asked about how you guys felt about it. Even generally.
>>2587884You're right, nonna! I appreciate your kind words. Today's weather just put me in airplane mode, and I don't even normally draw that kind of shit anyway
hence that slight guilt but I'll put that shame away! I promise. It's time to pust a stop to being a robot, especially when it comes to drawing smut (ridiculous in itself).
On a side note, I loved reading these unhinged replies, they made my afternoon. Thank you.

Ain't nobody got time for dat. Whenever you start feeling that way ask yourself some simple questions:
>What are the consequences of behaving in a way thatsome women disagree with?
>Who are these women anyway? Why should I respect the opinions of someone who treats me like like I'm lower than dirt for engaging in activities that, realistically, at least 50% of the population of earth has engaged in? While also claiming to be an advocate for me and my rights?>Does God actually care about porn? Or is that humanity telling me the motives of a being capable of doing and knowing far more than any creature that has lived, is living now, or will live (from the act of sex btw) in the future? Why are we so smug as a species to even think these things?Think about these things long enough and you'll be surprised to find that the answers are 1. Nothing will happen 2. I shouldn't respect them and 3. No one can possibly know the answer that.
So in my TLDR conclusion: Fuck the haters, and draw what you want, when you want.

>>2588781Could always just interact. I talk to some fujos in the same fandom as me, and sometimes I'm the only poster speaking to them. We have a little conversation, someone else jumps in with a joke, etc. I think you can
cultivate an interactive community too. Even with language barriers. I frequently throw dumb jokes at some Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican artists. I don't think they hate it because I'm not blocked yet and they respond.
Obviously don't be obsessive about it. Tumblr also has a very active commenting community still somehow. Responding to tags, sending anonymous asks, dropping someone giftart, etc…
I think it appears differently depending on communities as well as the artists themselves. If you piggyback on promoted posts that show up in the For You page, you can net interactions as well and that could be what some artists are doing.
No. 2588830
>>2588783No no, the active users and followerbase I was thinking about were definitely not bots, I’m mainly thinking of those zoomer artists and their groupies/friends who are always hyping each other up in their replies. Most of the time they are oc artists but I’m sure this happens in fandoms too. I honestly envy them, I’m too chicken to interact with my followers but I think if I started doing it more, they’d be more inclined to interact and comment on my art too.
But it’s just kinda daunting to start, because there was a time where I actually wanted to start socializing with my mutuals more and I commented on a friend’s post, and boom, I was just ignored and never got a reply. Sigh of course the singular time I attempt to socialize it ends like that. It’s so annoying. So I’ve been hesitant to do anything ever since.

>>2588830I haven't talked to/made friends online for over 10 years (this includes rejecting nice mutuals going "Hello, do you have a discord" in a friendly way because they wanted to be friends) due to autism retardation and a ibt of AVPD.
But this year I'm trying to be more social and the key is just trying! Don't lose hope! Not everyone will be besties with you, I still haven't made a friend, but people are more keen to reply to my stuff.
First start with your mutuals. If you think someone is cool or notice a few people popping in your notifications often (likes/rts) try interacting with their tweets more often, since they follow you they will probably welcome it. Then, compliment artists, creators and such.
My rule of the thumb to snap me from the "I'm annoying and they will hate me" mindset is just to think if receiving the message I plan to sent would annoy me. 99% of the time the answer is "I wouldn't care" as worst and "I would like it" at best.
And like
>>2588846 said, usually a "I love it!!", "Cute!" is boring to most people unless it's someone who has 5 followers or never gets replies. Simply add something to it, like "I love how you do XYZ", if they post a pic of their meal compliment something specific about it etc. Sometimes you can be cringe, I once told someone who scanned some stuff that people like them are the reason fandom is a better place haha, but I really meant it and people in social media nowadays are so rude anyways, being a bit chessy it's ok.
Also think replies as sending CVs. Often you get ignored, a few will call but not hire you (just liking the reply) and others will hire. Many people online are introverts, so it's normal if they don't reply back.

I downloaded a guide about composition for illustrations & comics that's been going around online and it kind of annoys me because the artist who made it doesn't seem to be very good at making layouts.

>>2591848>>2591856I have a friend who specializes in comic pages like that (she has done work for a few studios as well as ghost work on a few webcomics at the start of her career) and we were actually talking about something like this a few weeks ago because I was ranting on how many comics online feel shitty to read even if they have good art. Long story short she said that indeed comic book/manga layouting is essentially a separate skill you need to learn, and that many of these artists are just regular illustrators who think they know what layouting is like but in the end they're applying regular illustration layout rules to a comic. It looks less like a comic page and more like a diagram, and many do it in hopes of it looking artsy, dynamic or interesting, but it sacrifices a lot of understanding simply because they're seeing the page as an illustration and not as a storytelling tool with its own specific layout rules to follow. "Learn the rules before breaking them" type of deal as always.
And yeah I can see it. I'm a graphic designer and the amount of times I've seen illustrators thinking they totally know graphic design and trying to make something "editorial looking" and shitting out the most obscene layout known to man because they don't actually know any of the most basic design rules is uncountable.

I have no idea how the ideas I talk about here fit in with the way comics are discussed by people who enjoy them on their own merit.>As I’ve already mentioned, I’m terrible at paneling. I don’t like doing it and it doesn’t look good when I try.Well, at least she's honest about it. I don't think everything she has to say in the comic section is necessarily bad, but I think one of the biggest issues she has is her aversion to drawing more orthodox layouts. She says it's because she finds them boring, but it feels more like a crutch to make up for her poor background drawing skills. I peeked at her tumblr and even her more recent comic work have a weak sense of perspective imo, so I get the appeal of going for more abstract compositions as a way to justify this aversion. However, I feel like she only gets away with this (in the sense that she has fans who like her work) because these are fanworks, so readers familiar with the Ace Attorney series can guess at locales without a lot of input on her part. I feel like an original work done in this style would have no sense of place or time and not in a good way. Wacky unconventional layouts can fun and can have a punch if used sparingly, but there's a reason why most comic artists default to more "boring" rectangle layouts imo. The other big issue that I feel she doesn't seem to be aware of is her speech bubble placement. It's pretty confusing at points and does a lot of what's in picrel (sorry for the furries, couldn't remember a better example).

I had a friend who has dreads but she’s mixed, and when she posted a photo of herself (I think it was a meet the artist thing), she was telling me how she had a bunch of creeps/weirdos who sent her some racist shit, especially because she does draw anime girls form her favorite shows. I noticed that if you do make black female characters or even expose that, there seems to be some kind of flack. There are some very very weird race fetishists as well, I remember exposing that I was half Asian and had some people who requested “bleaching” stuff and would get turned on by knowing that. I never posted anything coom related, I was merely in an art server and said something along the line.

It’s repulsive that male artists/consumers can get away with that shit with no flack, while if women were to draw darker women and other types of characters, they’d get so much shit for it from every side (racists, gooners, etc). I remember seeing some kids get doxxed on twitter for drawing redrawn black characters, who were probably like 13 max, and it just seems so bizarre to me.

>>2592483I'd appreciate her art and her OC more if it was some girls-only mecha story or whatever instead of her being surrounded by much bigger adult men who have some sort of bizarro attraction or are drawn to her. I know she's supposed to be an immortal sun goddess and that "she's actually in control and these men are submissive to her because she's a divine creature!" or whatever but that's just the tired old 5000 year old loli argument and it doesn't make it any less creepy.
I think what kills me is that in some art she has drawn this OC looking like an adult woman. I wasn't sure if it was an age-up or if it was just a different form, but she looked like an adult and it was just so much better but it also made me so much more disappointed because it showed that she made this lolibait on purpose. She could've made this OC as a gorgeous adult black woman sun goddess but she chose to make it a weird DDLG loli fetish instead. It's really sad.

>>2593077I could buy this but the adult version of their OC looks extremely femme and would work even better than the younger version. If they want to reinforce their femininity, why not associate themselves with the extremely attractive, feminine adult woman design that THEY created? At this point I think it's legit just a sad fetish.

>>2593183I’m so sorry to hear that. I wish there was more safety for female artists from this shit, I hate how repulsive they can be. I also hate that I have to go as far as even using voice changers because I’m terrified they’ll be weird about it.
>>2593181Mine was because I was in art related servers. I was a teenager around this time, and they allowed minors in, but I only posted architecture stuff. I was stupid and talked about myself in a topic about ourselves, and that’s when people started being weird. I never posted photos of myself, but when I mentioned my race and they heard my voice, I had some weirdos request weird stuff and whatnot. One guy asked me to draw a penis for him when I was 14 and I was told he’d ask underaged girls this and would get off of that. I was added in the server by an art mutual. There was other art circles I was involved in where I had similar comments as well, but that was because someone leaked photos of my face to others, and I had two artists who were adult men who stalked me due to it. Obviously, it was stupid of me, but I was in high school school and I was friends with this person for years. I have had friends who also had weird interactions but they drew women characters, though it wasn’t anything coom related. I learned to not admit personal things of myself nor to join voice channels in servers for that reason, even if I do befriend other artists.

>>2593203NTA but for a woman who hates being a woman or feels like a failure, manhood and lolihood are equal and opposite fantasies. Either be a man and opt out of that expectation, or be the "perfect" pornified girl. The media paints becoming a man as attainable in real life, but online it's perfectly viable to at least appear to be a loli, and social media is filled with lolicon creeps.
Male fantasy:
Become the hot ideal guy you always thirsted over. This may include splurging on a bunch of "male fashion" peacockery from movies and anime that real men don't actually wear, or dressing like a girl but getting extra points for being "gnc". Alternatively, just opt out of attractiveness, and dieting and makeup and fashion, and it won't matter because guys don't have to do that. Either get with a girl and fulfill your perfect boyfriend fantasy by becoming the boyfriend, or get with a guy and live out your yaoi fantasies. As a man you are strong, masculine, privileged, admired, and totally capable of dealing with all the challenges in your life, because testosterone is magic. If you've been sexually assaulted before, or had sex you regret, it's okay because men don't let that stuff get them down and can't be victimised. If you do want to have sex or present yourself as a sex object, it's fine and cool because men don't get called sluts for that. You probably already had mostly/exclusively male friends, and as a man you'll surely fit in even better with them. Men will automatically like and respect you because you're a man too. You'll stick out from other women by not being one.
Loli fantasy:
Become the perfect girl according to porn and porn addicts. Be tiny, thin, and cute, or at least pretend you are but without having to put in any effort. Maybe get into lolita fashion, or those sexy outfits you wanted to wear as a teen but couldn't because your parents wouldn't let you, or maybe nostalgic kids fashion. No matter what, creeps will still simp for you and you'll get a self-esteem boost. Since you're just a little girl, no one expects you to grow up and do hard things, and people will always be willing to excuse your faults. If you've been sexually assaulted before, or had sex you regret, it's now a perfect irreproachable excuse to regress and a defense against any accusations of wrongdoing. If you wanted to have sex but never did, it just reinforces your innocent, virginal nature. And if you want to have sex or present yourself as a sex object now, no one can blame you for that because you're an innocent little girl and anyone who has a problem with you is a perv for noticing. You've probably been mostly/entirely surrounded by male creeps online, so if you appeal to them it will make you really popular. You'll stick out from other women by sinking into depths of depravity that they won't touch.

I feel such deep, intense envy that I’ll never receive or create attacks like this on artfight. There’s this certain clique on af of artists in a sort of circlejerk where they mostly attack each other and a lot of them are adapting to this composition type of style to make it more unique i guess. The style is kind of pretentious but at least it’s interesting to look at. They get tons of attacks so I don’t even want to bother attacking them, drawing all that just for them to attack their friends or lucky people with cuter and more appealing ocs than me.
It kinda kills my motivation in participating in art fight tbh. If I were to start making pieces like this, I don’t want people to catch up on the fact that I’m copying the latest trend. And it would feel forced for me to start doing these too. I thought my attacks were high quality because I try to include detailed backgrounds in mine, and they take a long time for me to do, but seeing these types of attacks makes me feel brutally mogged. So I’m just working my ass off drawing detailed attacks with backgrounds but ms. Zoomer on Twitter is getting more attention and love with these special attacks and has her close friends and followers hyping her up while I barely get 20 likes on the attacks I’ve posted. I hate my life

You're either an asshole or a rug, and I think one involves getting stepped on less. Hell, I even put on my page that I will likely not bother with counter attacks.
Draw the cool and the cute OCs nona. Be the asshole. But the unreachable artist that is too good for the poopscribbles people throw at you. Or even better, put the same amount of effort into the counter-attacks as the ones you receive. Be free nona.

Alberto Mielgo, one of the artists behind Love, death, and robot, used to have descriptions for his oil painting portfolio. All of his paintings were the women he slept with. He is so loved in the art community despite being obnoxious. His interviews are just shitty rambling with sex jokes everywhere. He removed the text in his website but they are still accessible on wayback. He removed it around 2021 when the Laura post circulated on twitter.
He tried to push threesome on his two female roommates Paula and Gemma. Alberto reminds me of Terry Richardson who made a coffee table book with photos of girls he’d slept with. I like it when men are open books like this. It’s easy to feed into the ego of men in the art industry and use it against them. sorry repost I forgot to spoiler

i still feel guilty for never attacking back those people who drew amazingly rendered art of my ocs last year and i cringe thinking about it. i could be one of those artists who attack people for revenge from last year, but if i did that i’d be on a never-ending mission of trying to revenge all these people so i stick with revenging attacks from this year only.
basically i just feel guilty by not attacking back. i am skipping people who have ocs i just can’t vibe with, but i’m still left with a good amount that i can attack.
who knows though, maybe frustration will get to me and i’ll just stall until the event ends. i really hate the feeling of wasting my time, and i’m feeling that a lot when drawing some uggo oc i don’t care about and have no joy in drawing. i’m pissed off because there’s so many things i would prefer to be doing and drawing but it feels like i’m trapped kek

Do you know that pic that triangulates tif art into yaoi shit, weird uncanny chopper animals and ugly men? This is also a very weird combo, I thought that I knew strange people but the TF2/Overwatch chara design is too popular with tifs and I wonder why do they like it so fucking much but I know that I despise those designs, to me it's like seeing the Shadman/Slugbox equivalent for women, it's a kind of slop style that makes everything look dirty but no sane woman likes that, I wonder why tifs cant do nice art for the life of them and I'm not talking about the characters being conventionally pretty, even their color choices are ugly and muddy with toxic waste colors mixed with yellow and/or brown filters, it's like they learn a totally esclusive artstyle and die with it.

I was inspired by their OCs and just having their reaction and seeing them enjoy my art was enough to make me happy!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Sylvia_LikensIf you don't want to unspoiler (I censored it a little), here's a description:
it's a drawing of Vicky from Fairly Odd parents after being abused physically and sexually. Note the writing on her stomach ("I'M A PROSTITUTE AND PROUD OF IT"), exactly the same as the case. There is also an empty coke bottle that's implied to have been shoved up Vicky's vagina (again just like in the case). There are some extra details in the drawing that also match up like her having had cigarettes put out on her and the extra doodles on her stomach like the letter S near her chest that looks like a 3 and the little triangle at the end, the latter of which he could have only pulled directly from autopsy pics of Likens's corpse since I don't think it's mentioned anywhere else (feel free to correct me). Everything matches up with the case, it's impossible for it to be a coincidence.

complaining about social media post number 77487487348 but i feel like the way i'm approaching social media is bordering on self harm. i draw artwork i hate for a fandom i hate and it gets no reaction and it stresses me out so bad I can't sleep. i'm drawing in a shitty anime style because i thought it would be more approachable and interesting for people, and nobody cares. i post something in a style i love that i put a ton of time into and it does even worse and hurts even more. i hate forcing myself to open socials and fake engagement, i hate every second i have the app open and i hate interacting with people just to please the algo. i feel so anxious every time i have to open the app at all. my media tab is so inconsistent because I keep throwing shit at the wall and nothing is sticking and i end up deleting stuff that doesn't hit my target, which is like an embarrassingly low bar at this point. I force myself to draw different trends and ships I don't care about and memes, i just want to draw my ocs in my style, experiment, put in time and effort, and have people say they like my art, but nobody is going to give a fuck if I don't have a following first, and somehow along the way i started doing shit to get any sliver of attention. when i get numbers it's always a meme post that makes me feel like a souless attention seeker, people who started behind me are way ahead of me now and flourishing in numbers and engagement with their regular non meme drawings, but even on my posts that do well i only get like one or two comments. I have no idea what i'm doing wrong and whether i should keep trying with this soul sucking fandom shit i don't care about or if i should draw what i like and then feel like trash when nobody cares. sage for mental breakdown

My heart is not in this series anymore but it's been such a big part of my life for so long that it's hard to pivot, so I'm just pretending i still care.
I did do commissions, i absolutely loathed every second of them, I don't reach out or leave comments to people anymore. I have a medium sized following left over on socials that i thought would be enough of a safety net to coast along, but it was because of memes and now that i've tried serious stuff it's stagnated hard. It's mostly just anxiety over falling behind people in my circle who are doing well and draw stuff in this fandom because they care about it, and get lots of responses from people because it's a shared interest.

Do you like drawing or do you like asspats? Truly get comfy being an OCfag drawing in your little digital fiefdom by your lonesome. Once you get the stench of desperation off of you, then you might get lucky and attract one or two like-minded OCfags and become friends. A single digit number of friends/fans who can actually name and give a shit about your OCs is vastly superior to whatever fans you gather algo-chasing, 90% of those people are just looking for art for whatever fotm shit they're obsessed with before they drop it and move on to next month's shiny new thing. You can't cultivate a good audience like that if your true goal is to gather people who give a shit about
your art and
your OCs.
I don't know who told you that it's as simple as amassing an audience with fandom shit and doing a bait and switch, because it really isn't. 99% of OC artists will be obscure even if their OCs are cool and interesting. Anyone who appears to have done a bait and switch with success are just artists who got lucky and happened to appeal to some demographic's zeitgeist and don't believe anyone who says it's easy to capture a zeitgeist, moids are especially prone to thinking this is something you can just calculate and capitalize on. Most of the time, whatever tropes and aesthetics you personally find compelling about your OCs will not be compelling to the vast majority of internet goers and that's fine. It doesn't (necessarily) mean your work is shit, it just means you didn't win the fickle internet lottery. You need to relearn how to enjoy drawing again, because you clearly forgot if external validation is so important to you.

>>2594517It might be time to move on, find a new fandom or focus on your OCs.
It doesn’t sound like art is your career so I don’t understand why you’re so obsessed with gaming the algorithm like that. Draw stuff you wanna draw and stuff you’re proud of.
If you want to pivot to another fandom, you might be surprised it could net you a bunch of followers and a wave of new people and make it feel fun to talk to new people and engage more etc. If you want to pivot to OCs, they probably will be much less popular but at least you will be drawing stuff that is 100% your own. And who knows! Sometimes OCs get super popular too.
but I think the best would be to do as other nonnas suggested and take a break from social media and only share your art with yourself or close friends. I’ve been doing that for a few years and I overall feel much more happy and fulfilled with my art now that I don’t have to think about likes and followers and other peoples judgment.

>>2594456>but nobody is going to give a fuck if I don't have a following first Ackshually, that's when fandom artists start pissing followers is when they pivot towards original content. If you don't start off doing that, you run the risk. Definitely find something you enjoy or you'll
look like a fandom hopper. Additionally, if you want comments and the like, just use Tumblr. Join Communities, use generalized tags, (i.e. monster boy, centuar, werewolf, cyberpunk, etc) that describe your characters, put yourself out there differently. Comment on other artist aoCs, be genuine. You don't want to uphold a façade forever because of what you're feeling right now!

It's interesting to see the evolution of the playboy cover, at first it was safe for work in all aspects, and mostly featured the bunny mascot in more artistic, cartoony compositions, as playboy started to normalize pornography the covers became more and more raunchy, the bunny mascot that was featured in all of the early 50s playboy covers was replazed with borderline naked women that in the first years were only reserved for the inside of the magazine. I wish we had more radfem video essayists(rip runawaysiren) i would love to see a comprehensive documentary on how pornography and the sexualization of women became normalized through the years.

Checked his account, he follows a few models and the asian ones are all Korean. He does have a lot of connections so he probably met and followed them online. I don't know if I am all over the place since the witness is set in Hong Kong, not Korea. Can't say for the other artists in LDR.

>started my digital art journey on social media again years ago, only drawing fanart>it was mostly kpop then genshin>i used hashtags and asked those daily/hourly character genshin twitter pages to rt my work, my art would perform pretty well>most of my following are fandom people because of this, shocker >but my main goal was always to create original content and characters >when I thought I had a pretty good number of followers, I would post original art and it would flop horribly >get embarrassed, stick to drawing fandom art again>get influx of new followers >become hopeful and think maybe this time people will care about my oc content >post original work, it still flops >cycle repeats again >but also this time, try drawing art of other fandoms i don’t normally draw>those also don’t really perform well because the fans of those fandoms don’t follow me>slowly learn that fandom shitheads will simply not care about anything except for the fandom they followed you for, especially not original content I became very bitter and hated my own followers for being so abrasive. Understand that these people probably don’t care about you as an artist nor your art, they just care about the famous series you draw and will consume any slop that draws for it. Those were very dark times kek, I definitely felt trapped and I couldn’t progress. I wanted to grow as an artist and drawing fandom slop forever seemed like hell, but as you said, it’s like nothing else will get your likes on socmed.
So here’s what I did. I just kept drawing oc content more and more, and I eventually stopped drawing fanart altogether. If you kept gaining followers when you drew fanart, then somewhere along the way, you should have at least made some artist mutuals that do like your art genuinely. Back in my fandom days, some surprising people followed me along my journey, they were somewhat famous to very famous artists. So yes, keep drawing oc content. Your average likes will decrease, and your follower count will also go down. That’s important to me, it feels good having fandom people fuck off from my account. I could not tell you how bad it felt when you have like 7k followers but only get less than 20 likes on non-fanart posts. It felt so inorganic, the following count definitely did not reflect the like count.
And recently I’ve been caring about
when I post. I used to never care and would post late night or early early morning because my sleep schedule is fucked up, and I’d wonder why my posts kept flopping. So I decided to stick to posting in the afternoon. I live in America and I assume most of my followers are American, I try to post at a time where kids would be out from school in all timezones in my country. During this time, it’s late night for Europe and Asia is waking up. I think it works best for me, I don’t really want to try other times right now, but my art did have an increase in likes when I started caring about when to post.
A trick to test this is to rt a viral art post and see how many of your followers like it, so you don’t have to post anything. When I rt a viral art tweet in the early morning or late night, I’ll get no notifications or just 2 at most of my followers liking it. Meanwhile when I rt something during the afternoon or late afternoon, I remember like 11 of my followers will like it. It just shows how many of your followers are online at the moment, so this all depends on what region most of your followers are from, try to figure that out and start posting in the afternoon in their timezone. If you don’t know, you could try those third party apps that tell you which country they’re from on Twitter.
Anyway when I stopped drawing genshin, my followers on Instagram went from like 12k to 8k kek. And it still hasn’t really improved, ig is really dead to me for some reason. But I’ve been drawing oc content for about two years now so most of my followers on all social media are familiar with it, the ones that still stayed know that’s what I do now. Purging fandomheads by constantly drawing non fanart stuff is important. You will keep the followers that you need, the ones that will still like your content even if you change. And creating some sort of relationship with other artist mutuals is important too, especially any famous ones or ones that are rising stars. Try to like and rt their stuff often, people will remember you in their notifications. I sort of became close with this girl and always liked her art, left comments sometimes, and she had around 10k followers and now she has 21k.
Almost forgot to mention that it’s important your art is actually appealing and cute, especially if you have oc content, because I made sure my media tab was good looking before following other oc centered accounts. Pray that they follow you back, im pretty sure this was how I made a lot of mutuals. And that’s how I made my followers care about oc content and broke free from the fandom curse. I actually think that my popular mutuals liking my art helps boost me in the algorithm because your timeline likes showing art that people you follow like, so if they like your art, it exposes it to their followers too on their tl. I pay attention to who likes my art and I’ve seen giga popular artists like it, and when I check their profile I see that they’re mutuals with my mutual.
tldr:
>market yourself as an oc account and try to create mutuals with others>be mindful of what time is best to post your art to maximize reach This post is real long sorry, but I wanted to add one last thing.
>have a side account where I completely copy every account this artist is following and follow them all too so I can see what their timeline looks like, as in I will follow every 1k account on my side account that they’re following (I know, kinda weird it’s a long story, I was basically nosy)>most of these accounts are other popular successful artists, industry professionals, etc >when I visit another artist’s page, they usually have at least a couple followers I know following them >even small artists with less than 1k followers too>but when I checked my own page, there were ZERO people following me That was honestly such a wake up call. I spent all those years collecting these followers from drawing kpop and genshin fanart, I thought I was on the right track but it was so disheartening to learn that zero “respectable” artists followed me. It was honestly embarrassing. Remember that this can be the following base you cultivate if you stay drawing fandom stuff forever.
I should’ve known earlier tbh, when I checked my likes and it was just filled with kpopfags and gachafags, and no “storyboard artist at Sony animations || she/her || [portfolio link] || please do not repost!” type of bios kek.

>>2594957I mostly draw directly from references while doing warm-ups and studies, and am a bit looser when actually sitting down to make a piece (depending on the complexity of poses or the environment etc– if there's a lot going on or I need to be specific, then I draw from reference more), as I want to see how far I can get with what I've learned. I mostly use random photos or clips from films/sport/whatever, but I also keep a mirror for expression references and if an action is very specific than I film or photograph myself or a friend doing it kek. It sounds goofy, but imo actually going through the motion of a pose or action can help you understand the anatomy of it all, and help all that study of muscles make more concrete sense.
On a more general study and practice note, I have done some life drawing classes, definitely recommend if you can find any in your area to take, especially if they're not 100% self-directed and have someone teaching to help you improve your technique and observational skills. Whenever I'm going to be sitting around for a while out in public (eg on train, at cafe, etc) I sketch people around me, and I try to go to places where I can sketch different animals such as zoos or aquariums when I can (though a park with dogs is also good
and free), and I go hiking to find environmental stuff to sketch/paint. Basically, try to draw from life as much as you can, it's extremely helpful for all areas of art.

>>2594970>>2594976>>2595015Thanks for the input, guys. I know a lot of artists that wonder why they never have any improvement yet are allergic to using references.

it’s not like i don’t like art. it’s my favorite thing in the whole world and it’s my entire life. i just wish i had a personal group of artist friends where we could geek out together with our art. and i know the feeling when your art finally receives the attention and recognition i’ve always sought for during the rare moments my art does perform well, it’s as amazing as i thought it would be and i always remember that feeling and will be chasing that high forever.

>>2595579Exactly nona, the change will be hard but if you keep going things will eventually change for the better.
I wanted to add that if you truly don’t have a decent or big sized followerbase, you can still keep drawing fanart just enough for you get a good “starting point” number. I’m not confident that this trick would work if you barely have any followers, because unfortunately it’s kinda impossible to start blowing up on social media like twitter as a new account unless you’re crazy lucky. And some of the followers you make while creating fanart are the type that will always stick and support you. At the very least, you should be seeing an increase in followers every year even if at a slow rate. Just keep going and you’ll get closer to a stage you want. It’s been kinda bleak for me for years but this year I’ve finally been closer to becoming the type of art page I want, I get more likes on my original content than I’ve gotten before!
I can’t deny that luck also has been a factor. I’ve made some nice artist mutuals along the years and kinda found a niche subgroup where my posts perform well I guess. So when you find yours, our next goal would be to break out of this niche.
Also I didn’t mention this but you can also try drawing famous artist’s ocs and tagging them, there’s so many who like rting those. Yes it can be clout chasy but it’s another way of exposure. You can delete all these drawings and low effort memes from your media tab once you start “making it” kek, I’ve cleared out my media tab so many times.
I wish you good luck nona, like I said this feeling can be very hopeless and bleak but you just need to keep drawing. You’ll be at different stages every year and you’ll slowly move further away from fandoms I promise

I know i'm a number obsessed retard but it's what i needed to hear since I know here is the only place where people won't sugarcoat it.
Part of it is also like, i live alone in a shitty foreign country in a shitty job and all my irl friends are overseas, so I'm online all the time surrounded by these autist art mutuals who i have no interest in socializing with and i really don't care about, but I don't have anyone else rn. When i'm hanging out with people irl it's like I don't care about social media or fandom anymore and it's a huge weight off my shoulders. I know once i get out of this situation it'll be a lot easier to finally step away and i want to live life in the real world and forget about all these annoying fandom people and the fake world on a screen. i don't give a fuck about them but they're all i have and so i get caught up in trying to keep up with them. I'm definitely jealous of all the attention they get on their fandom drawings but also the time they seem to have to draw and how much they're able to. I get like 2 hours a day to draw something start to finish if i'm lucky and dont have a shit ton of chores to do and sleep to catch up on, so i end up trying to draw things for validation because the rest of my life is so ass. What i really want to be doing is grinding skills, working hard on ambitious pieces for a long time, and just have someone say they like my art for its skill, not because fandom woman hot. I hate feeling like i have to to post every day like i see some of them do and be stuck in low tier fandom circles. What

>>2596147Depending on how simplified your art style is it can be hard to make faces look distinct. Maybe focus on designing the parts of a face separately and then bringing them together.

I've been getting angry while drawing lately, like full on moid-playing-league level, which doesn't sound very healthy. It'd be fine if I was putting out passionate masterpieces as a result, but it's just turds. I literally get worse and worse everyday.
Guess that guy who said you need to be in a perfectly calm state while drawing to make anything good was right, but thing is, I can be absolutely chill until I sit down to draw. I draw something hideous, like actually kindergartener level, erase, try again, same result, repeat and that's how rage builds.
I'm not a beginner at all, I've been drawing for years (including seriously, with studies and all) that's why it's so upsetting. I should be above prebeg scribbles with no confidence or sense of form, but I'm not. And I'm not getting any better, even though I draw every day. It hasn't been like this before.
This is art block, right? What do you do with this? I feel like the obvious answer is "take a break", but I'm afraid that'll put me back even more.

I’ve actually thought about making a picrew to generate different types of side characters. And you could make different picrew for specific body types too, so they can be divided into categories. Because if you tried putting all these different body types and face shapes in one picrew, the random button would create a lot of weird Frankenstein results

I just found a fucking TRANNY SKELETON on Artfight
https://artfight.net/character/7400161.mort"Resurrected by an evil wizard 10 years after her untimely death, Mort has decided to live the way she never got to. Every night, Mort lovingly records the events of her day in her diary; grocery trips, visits to the local tree nursery, bubble baths, her plant purchase of the day. To an outsider, her life may look boring, but to Mort, simple comforts are more than she could ever ask for."

When they say misogyny isn’t allowed, they’re talking about not being a ~bigot~, which includes the usual transphobia racism homophobia brigade. And if you actually looked at these incel characters being uploaded, they’re pretty much just the product of a girl’s wet dream fantasy of her ideal nerd type lmao. Barely any of them have the balls to actually create a character who hates women because it would be too
problematic for them to write about.
This is so fucking stupid I don’t even know why we’re arguing about it, maybe you’re just baiting and im too retarded to realize. If you want to ban people for misogyny then why not try reporting the accounts of the several /ic/ moids who’ve openly been sharing their profile links in their thread lol.

I think it’s also irritating that 4channers are allowed to have their ocs and link it, /ic/ scrotes specifically, because there’s way more rampant bullshit there. It is misogyny, even if you don’t think so. If anons can get banned for making characters from a site that “had TERFs on it”, why can’t people get banned for making characters based off a genuine hateful rhetoric against women? Reports have said that incel forums posts pedophilia/rape content every 30 minutes. I understand that most of the people who make it probably doesn’t believe in said rhetoric, but I think that poster was simply pointing out the fact that if specific groups of posters gets banned, shouldn’t that apply to those who makes content based off that? I’m not going to report them, but I do think that’s fair criticism against the creators.

Nonnies, who are some female artists that you used to follow/admire that trooned out? After trooning, did you feel like their art style, effort, or output, and overall quality diminished? Why do you feel like the online art community is so rife with pooners? Here’s some of the stunning and brave pronoun-ciations that bothered me the most.
>katzun, a YouTube story time grifter during the period of theodd1isout and jaidenanimations who trooned out in 2020, made a side channel dedicated to grooming kids into titchops erm I mean queer education, and then dtfo’ed off the platform.
>chipflake, another YouTube story time grifter who teeter tottered between being a themlet and fakeboi before fully transitioning around 2021, probably the only troodood here ergo she passes as the mucinex mascot like most britbong moids. Currently active.
>tennelleflowers, a warriors YouTuber who pooned out around 2020 (noticing a trend here?) and got rid of her old mascot character, made an hour long video essay about Sora from Kingdom Hearts being gay and regularly spergs about and makes fanart about soriku (this woman is like 30 btw), art has noticeably declined since her ascension to the pronoun princess throne.
I know expecting furfags not to be trannies is like expecting turds not to be shit but these women had massive success with the YouTube algorithm through lazy trendhopping with mediocre art and garnered massive fan bases of kids while being gnc women, they could’ve set a really good example for young gnc girls and female artist representation in general (before animation memes, the YouTube animation community was basically just newgrounds scrotes infusing porn addiction and violence into children’s properties), but now they’re setting the example that if you are creative and a woman you have to chop your tits off. Yaaaaaaaaay.

victim for pointing out the fact that posters got banned simply for coming from a site though? I pointed out that users came from 4chan, where a lot of racism and whatnot is involved, so the same things would apply. You’re not allowed to have any kind of content that’s like that, not just the characters. I never even got banned on art fight, I’m simply stating the fact that there is some kind of hypocrisy. I don’t know why you are so mad about this. It’s simple criticism. Either you don’t want any “
problematic” users/content at all, or you’re fine with them. Not every lolcow user hates trannies, some of them are tifs themselves who like to lurk or PC artists who simply wants to use stuff against other artists, we’ve all seen this before.

They always get canceled outright or put on infinite hiatus, it sucks ass when the story was actually interesting.
>>2599277NTA but I'm pretty sure her point is that having morally bad characters =/= the user themself being morally bad and it's pretty clear that the spirit of the law (since so many nonas here are reading shit too literally instead of looking at what the Art Fight mods actually act on) is that
users cannot be transphobic/misogynist/etc and that there's no such restriction on the OCs themselves. It's not hypocritical for Art Fight to allow dumb incel OCs to exist while also banning you for being a farmer. The only thing that's hypocritical here is the mods not banning known /ic/ moids when 4chan is infamously misogynistic imo.

I think she's just more "high art" (I don't know how else to put it) about her work, more mature and less terminally online so she's not engaged at all with that kind of online queer LARP/discourse stuff.

>>2600179The only people you are going to piss off are fanboy moids who are super attached to their personal favorite male power fantasy glorbo.
All of their rage ends up doing nothing, because the majority of people aren’t invested in that character the same way. If there’s nothing “
problematic” about it otherwise, no one is going to have a reason to rally against you. It’s hardly justifiable for a cancellation even if they were.
It’s like coloring Sonic’s arms blue. Speds like Chris chan will have an autism moment over “character inconsistencies”, but no one else will gaf.

>>2600495>I was tired of seeing a ton of nodraws try to insist that her art was shit and they knew why.I've noticed pretty much all of KF's artcow threads have this problem. For every 1 good critique or redline, there's a shitton of circlejerking nitpicks. It's directly proportional to their post count too, thread regulars who constantly redline or redraw the cow's art are almost guaranteed to be beg-tier while better artists only show up every once in a while to take potshots. Probably because they have their own projects and don't have time to nitpick puppychan's thousandth sexed up obese he/him bimbo bunny kek. Frankman64's resident drawfag is especially pathetic imo. Frank doesn't even make his own art, which is funny by itself because he wants to become a famous mangaka, but it means that his thread's drawfag essentially got asspats for bothering to do the bare minimum the cow wouldn't. He even shat up the thread more by designing OCs for the thread regulars based off their pfps, picrel is only one of many of these images. Between that and people spamming the n word (because KF moids can't help but constantly repeat themselves when a cow is black), I had to stop watching his thread despite him being a very funny wholesome cow. Other artcow threads are bearable if I ignore them for a couple of months and just skim over the dumb nonmilk, especially for gems like that one slacktivism picture puppychan made of her oc in a skimpy bikini with the pan-africa flag colors tearing up a confederate flag kekkk

>>2601036Jesus christ those legs are fucked up. Poor Pepe with his thigh tumour.
Agree with everything you said wrt KF artcow threads. Normal threads are exhausting enough but add in autistic art sperging and story/world building rewrites that goes on for several pages and it's just the worst.

>>2601036The only actually talented kiwi artfag I've seen is Umami's Milk. I think some tif who wrote fanfiction about 17 years old Leon Kennedy and 40 years old teacher somehow managed to find his real twitter after he made a redraw of her ugly art

>>2598971Personal cow trooned out. Her husband was much older than her when I met her and they had a daughter already. She did furry art but it was cute, like animal crossing cute. However the rot was already there. She proudly told me she loved m/m mpreg pairings but understood that not everyone liked that.
Fandom was different back then but it still creeped me out she dropped that into a conversation with no hesitation. Fast forward and she’s divorced, her daughter is older now in HS (she’s been homeschooled all her life) and her (the mom’s) brain broke from covid. She decided she’s a man and somehow her daughter is also gnc/trans. Both are on T. It’s an emotional incestual relationship. I feel bad for the daughter since I watched both of them from afar and now they’re both pooner artists and the mom (sorry “dad”) is always an anxious wreck about covid still and protecting trans kids. Her art hasn’t changed much but she stopped talking about mpreg as often and focuses on trans issues now.

>>2601465This is an absolute mood. I'm in a fandom that hates trannies a LOT but over time they managed to seep in somehow. They're everywhere sadly. I know there is a dogwhistle for this but I couldn't think up what it is that's gentle enough not to set off overtuned radars.
>>2600566I don't have pronouns in my bio but I still huff the early tumblr feminine gnc male character gas, so I end up being seen as safe to some trannies. Also god forbid you draw Sylveon
once; they'll come crawling out of the woodworks.

It's so embarrassing when I comment on a mutual or fellow artists post and they barely interact with me or acknowledge my existence. It's even more embarrassing when they're from the same country as me and it stings when I see the same mutuals and fellow artists interact and acknowledge another artist who's also from the same country as I am. All I want is for my peers to see me and my art.

i was in a few discords with different groups of artists, most of them working professionaly.
In the last couple years all of those have gone bust, most people just quitted. The one girl who invited me to one group and was most active there with her art is now a v-tuber, abandoned her art patreon and only draws coomer thumbnails of her vtube OC every now and then.
This is how it must feel to live through the crack epidemic wrecking your neighborhood. ITs all the effect of AI, you can even read the timeline still from the first posts of "i don't think its a big deal" "lol, the hands are so shitty" "please sign this petition" to then suddenly the entire discord becoming a ghost town.
Whats even the point, the only active communities are based around furry fetish art and wokieposting.

>>2601809Work smarter, not harder. Plus if you pay for them I think it's justified. These aren't the ones I'm after, but just a sample of the ones being made.

>>2601819That was the first place I checked! Damn. The recent brushes are really good, but it seems they're associated with lolis. I'd pay for the brushes personally but I don't want that art anywhere near me kek

>>2602027I feel like the majority of asexual people are just socially maladjusted late bloomers, who cope with receiving little to no sexual attention in real life by getting super into fetish content. Probably in part because they spend so much time online with other socially maladjusted people so it’s normalized.
To some degree the large amount of fetish and sexual content in furries is because the fursona acts as an avatar that the artist can use to safely explore fetishes and sexual content without having to insert their real selves into the situation. Probably because in more normal media they cannot distance themselves from the content, they’re instead self-inserting in what they see on screen. The fursona gives them enough distance that they don’t do that by default. This is assuming they’re not just straight up into bestiality and paraphilias clustering is not an adequate explanation.
