https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzHK4uYjyQsI know this is long as hell and a couple of months old, but I wanted to know what you guys think about Cosmic Spectrum Art's numbers here? At about the 25 min mark she mentions numbers like $50 per hour being an okay amount to charge for what she describes as a 'reasonable skill level', but that she's expecting a lot more than that. Mentions at some point that her commission work is in the thousands generally. Mentioned she did a children's book cover for $3000, she'd want around $1000 or more a page for graphic novels, numbers like that.
Not really sure what the make of this. I mean good for her if she can get this amount, but that seems so unfathomably high to me? Are people really out there dropping thousands of dollars on 2D images? And is $50 per hour really not too high of a starting rate for commissions?
No. 605343
>>605338>she did a children's book cover for $3000Not unreasonable if it's for a major company. Work from professional clients usually pays a ton more than commissions for randos, since they're not only paying for the image but for the rights to print the image, use it for promotion, and etc.
>$1000 or more a page for graphic novelsNow that's crazy. Comic rates are around $200- 300 for inks tops, for big companies like Marvel and DC. If she was asking that much for fully painted comic pages I could maybe see it, but otherwise it's a pretty insane rate.
No. 605349
Same anon who posted the vid here. Sorry if I'm not replying correctly, don't post much.
>>605338Hah, that's actually quite comforting to put it that way.
I know when I was going commissions like a good decade ago, some artist I looked up to said something along the lines of that you should be charging at least minimum wage + materials cost per hour. If you couldn't charge at least that and still get work, you weren't ready to start to take work. And if you could charge more that that, you were making it. So $50 an hour kind of shocked me, as in my head, I'd be expecting only someone very popular to get away with charging that much.
Definitely gives me hope that art is becoming a more livable career.
>>605338She actually googled the rates in the video and found those same numbers you quoted, then later added that really big names at top companies could charge as much as $1000 per page, and that she'd be expecting about that for pencils inks and colours herself. So same info I guess, which again, surprises the hell out of me, in a good way.

>>605338There was an artist that charged $1 per minute and she could draw out a very nice commission with color in an hour, so she earned $60. She recorded this on video with a timer for proof for the commissioner I assume. I wish I could remember the youtube video sorry. Anyway $50 per hr isn't unreasonable if you work fast. You can raise your prices as high as you want if you have demand. $3000 for a book cover is very reasonable for professional publishing.
Anoosha Syed listed prices she earned for her children's book illustrations. It's very profitable when you start getting consistent work

No. 605613
>>605571NTA but is the focus really the foreground? My eye was drawn to the mid ground and swept over the city, thanks to the color harmony of the warmer light rays. I don’t know if removing the canal was important or not
Also a nice touch is that the farthest away lights are dimmer
No. 605677
>>605622The perspective is still better in the first one, and the canal leads to the back wall which then leads to the city the fuck that is. When I say blinding light I don't mean literally, I mean it in the context of the image, the lights come in a way of the image, they wash out the city and take away the contrast, the second image looks like it has no vocal point because nowhere there are strong values, except the black frame. As for nausea it's more about the frame vs the city itself, the second image, tried to lift up and close the scene but did nothing to the perspective, so now we have this weird stretched image with very offscale image, that is irritating to look at.
No. 605699
>>605391The before is better. Everything seems washed out in the after along with that thick black framing. The inclusion os the canal is important imo, since it gives the pieces direction, implying that the space is larger than what our eyes can see. The second one is more limiting and closed off. There are ways to alter perspective without cutting off parts of a drawing.
That being said I like the beams of light more in the after, although I wish they weren't so yellow, especially the light in the background. It takes away from the lights of the city, which are a more muted yellow orange tone and are clearly supposed to draw the eye.
No. 605700
>>605391I think both need help, but the first one is better.
The first image doesn't have enough contrast for you to focus on the city. The canal leads you down to the hole, which leads you to the city, but that's it. There's no further details to explore. That being said, it gives me the viewer a better understanding of the concept of what this is supposed to be.
The second one made the mistake of having a stark black rat against a bright yellow light, which makes my eyes focus on the rat. My eyes don't go anywhere else. There's no movement, and the city is still lacking the contrast it needs for me to explore it.

No. 606099
>>605368>>605357yup, I have some experience in book publishing and this is what it’s like. Depending on the contract, you or your agent negotiate the rate, like the one Anoosha provided of the 88 greyscale interiors breaks down to 175 a drawing, then when the book sells you usually wait until the entirety of the book is paid off and then you make royalties afterwards. There was a long twitter thing a while back where lots of freelancers broke down their rates for books and stuff (for transparency during like people outing industries as not friendly to BIPOC creators), especially in GN publishing which were surprising but like showed that negotiating rates and having good agents helped. The most surprising one I remember was the creator & artist of Check Please, her contract for when the book got published by a big company was low up front, I think like 3k only for two books, but she got to keep her kickstarters for the self pubbed editions (which were over 300k each), kept all the licensing and merch rights, AND got a 50% profit share on royalties from the big pubbed books which went on to be an NYT bestseller (this is pretty rare, sometimes people don’t even get royalties let alone HALF)

>>607296Popular artists are popular because of certain subject matter they draw consistently. People see these popular artists and follow that formula, becoming popular themselves, and the cycle repeats.
Artists who don't follow such a formula don't get pushed by social media algorithms as much, so it feels like they don't exist when it's very likely that they just fly under the radar.
Additionally, nowadays with Procreate and iPad art, anyone can call themselves an artist, and social media is completely saturated with artists who want attention rather than artists who want to create and explore ideas.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but do you guys have any artist that you used to look up to when you were younger, but eventually ended up surpassing in terms of skill?
In my case I remember thinking Zayashuku (youtube animator from back in the day) was the best artist ever when I was around 10~11 years old. I actually saw stuff like pic related and thought it was peak professional artist material kek.
The same happened with other animators I liked, like ShadowLeggy or BlackWorufu. It's not just that they used to draw like shit back then (even when in the case of Leggy, she was in her 20s at the time), but they never progressed with their art and to this day they are more or less on the same level as back then. It's kind of sad honestly.

>>604999I know these images are social media memes and not really reflective on artistic development, but I don't really get how drawing the same image year to year is a great metric for gauging improvement. This person just drew the same character in whatever style they were feeling at the time. Wouldn't it make more sense to showcase multiple images showing "progress?" Multiple images showing that you can draw different subjects and contexts than an anime girl or something.
This shit just reminds me of the sameface meme, where it become more about drawing different looking features rather than differences in expression. Wow, you gave your character an "ethnic" nose and mouth but they're still making that dead ass kore stare anyway.

These pose maker apps and websites are tragic at best but somehow have so much money to pour into marketing.

>>609214from a practicing standpoint tracing doesn't do shit for you, so this isn't even correct. but plenty of professional fields (the before mentioned graphics designer, concept artist, comic artist, etc.) trace things to speed up their workflow or get things more precise.
No. 609269
>>609257>to dissect a part you don't understandi can go with this, but this is why i wish people were more specific about what kind of tracing they mean. tracing on the internet usually means "outlining an object with chicken scratches and calling it it a day", where as if you break down the object to the 3d shapes it's made of, you can actually learn something. in more "classical" art training you are supposed to copy things, landscapes, objects, other people's drawings, etc. i think this sort of practice is better than tracing in most contexts because this trains your eye to get better at observing, thus remember more things and take in new things easier too.
>>609264i think it's a stupid mentality to say artists' can't post their practice pieces, unless they are not clear about what they copied/traced from. of course, on the internet it's better to ask for permission of the other artist to avoid drama.

>>609615just because it uses the word "illustration", why couldn't it be used for graphics design? i'm not sure anymore if you've seen the video showing how the app works, it's not even tracing over the lines, but using the little model of sorts and filling it out to get these simple characters. looks real handy in my opinion and at this point it kinda feels like you have a vague vendetta against it because you've been convinced by the internet that "tracing bad, and anything resembling it bad too". tools that make your job easier and aren't supposed to make you practice exist.
also this is way different from 3d model apps? those are for you to base the pose off of, you can't get something right by just tracing that since the models aren't perfect, they are just approximations, a guide.

Speaking of old artists (and might make a thread just for early 2000s artists/nostalgia) - I still remember how that artist Steph90(I think?) lost all of her friends /most of her popularity cause she did a shitty animation of her decapitating them (tinachan09 and Drechu) to a BOTDF song lolll

Truth is, it isn't. In the long run it will screw you over. I'm friends with an artist that makes tablets review constantly, and they reviewed Huion, Gaomon and XP-Pen.
The video went up and, because at the time I was wondering too if I should save up for the Cintiq or buy a cheaper alternative, I asked my friend if the tablet was really worth it. They told me it isn't, they also told me that these companies told her to remake those reviews because she was being honest saying they weren't that great, since they had X problems.

>>610569(same anon from the huion driver issue!) Honestly I don't know. Both times I tried using a Huion, I made sure to uninstall any unnecessary drivers or leftover stuff from other tablets. The Huion would work fine most of the time, but it flat out refused to work when I opened my software (Paint Tool SAI).
I've had two Huion tablets so far, one was from a friend who had it lying around for a while after they bought an Intuos, and the other I bought myself because I wanted to break free from the whole Wacom monopoly.
No. 610685
>>610567>>610577>>610653i started with a wacom and it was… fine, but after that one bit the dust i got a huion and it was a gamechanger. it worked better for cheaper, easier to change settings, etc.
after that one died 3 years later (cant remember what happened) i bought the exact same one again. it worked perfectly for a year or two and then suddenly stopped working.
i'd like to think i have a higher-than-average competence with technology and i have absolutely no idea what the problem was. i tried every possible solution from uninstalling and reinstalling every possible driver to buying a new pen and cable. nothing worked. several people have had the exact same problem with no solutions. i don't want to get tinfoily but let's just say i wouldn't be surprised if there was some planned obsolecense going on.
i recently shilled out $400 for an xp-pen (artist 12) and it's really great so far. they have a ton of little screenless tablets in the $30-50 range too. it's my first time owning a screen tablet, so i don't have much to compare it to in that regard, though personally as a professional artist i'd rather be able to mirror my desktop screen (complete with files) to my tablet than buy an iPad and have it be it's own thing. i wish i made more use of the many buttons on the side, but i've been conditioned to use my left hand for keyboard shortcuts.

I feel like I just answered this same question.
I bought an XP Pen Artist 22E Pro after years of being a Wacom junkie, but I wanted to move up to a screen. There were a ton of Youtube reviews talking about how great it was, half the price of a 22 inch Cintiq, and Amazon was having a limited time deal on them so I caved. The result is okay, but it's got some issues.
The driver was a bitch, I downloaded the latest, but it took forever for the driver to see the hardware, then I had more problems when I tried to use it with the shortcut remote they also sell. Got it working eventually, but I'm still not sure why it suddenly worked. Massive parallax, usually disconnects then immediately reconnects after a couple of hours (knocking out the calibration), requiring me to restart my PC to get it to reset properly, sometimes freezes in the calibration screen. And I don't have anything to compare it to, but the screen doesn't feel great under the pen. It's really glossy and it feels like I'm scratching it all the time. I also have to use it with my lights off because the screen reflects the light over my desk so badly.
The pros are plenty, mind. Aside from the price, it's got 16 programable buttons, it is a nice looking monitor, and unlike Wacom, it comes with a great adjustable stand that I just can't fault. It also came with a free additional pen, 8 additional nibs, and a glove. The CP Pen pens themselves aren't as chunky as my old Wacom pens as well.
All in all, I do wish I'd saved longer and gotten a Cintiq, but I got a decent tablet for the budget I had at the time. If I could go back, I think I'd still be using my ancient Intuos 4 a bit longer while I saved for a Cintiq. But to each their own. I wish it more usual for physical stores to have these so you could try them and compare different ones.

Does anyone have experience with Gaomon? Are they any decent?
I need urgently a new tablet but the Intuos i was planning to buy is completely out of stock in my region, waiting for a restock would take too long since im already falling behind my work.
Im not a fan of Huion since they seem to not last very long, three years is too little time for tablet rotation.
So im eyeing a gaomon and tbh i get almost the double surface size than a wacom for the same price so it seems like a good deal, their tech seems to be almost the same as wacom since they are of those IP theft chinese grey market companies.

>>610512As someone who has used a nonscreen tablet for maybe 7 years, I cannot imagine using a screen tablet. It sounds so inconvenient for my way of working. I sketch traditionally here and there, like during my breaks at work, and all the problems I have with it would transfer over to a screen tablet, minus the lack of ctrl+z and lasso tool and such.
My two main problems are that my hand/pen blocks the image as I'm drawing, and I have to make sure I'm looking at it straight on which can be a hassle and make me hunch. These are things plenty of artists learn to live with, but I'm so spoiled with my computer screen facing me directly and not having a hand or pen in the way of the canvas while I'm making my strokes, I don't want to go back.
I'd like to try a screen tablet out sometime to see if it really is as good as people say, but for the price, its just too much of a gamble.

Every tree is the exact same height and distant from each other as in the original image, same with the flowers, the bushes, stone steps and the rest aside from lilo and stitch, the only thing that really changes is the colors and the lighting but no way is this just a copy.
Also when someone who does create a copy of a certain original work they usually give a little transformative spin to it, like you see in most screenshot drawing challenges. It's just more fun to copy a scene but in your way instead of creating an exact replica, so I don't don't buy the results nor the motive.

I'm glad that pic related is getting a "rerun" of sorts, it's nice. The only thing off about it is the slightly stubby arms but otherwise it's a pretty great plush design.
CS are different from regular adopts bc rather than just the design/support alone you're buying "admission" into what are usually extremely petty and drama-prone "clubs" along with your doodle. Really dumb and not worth. I don't have much against regular adopts since it's more about supporting the artist rather than "owning" the work itself, but CS and their comms are pretty awful.

From the way she was talking about the accounts of others, I figured she was a legitimate professional artist who produces very high caliber work… but when I checked out her instagram I was disappointed.
At the risk of sounding like Bitter Betty, why do so many of these same-faced, e-thot, sausage lip artists, think that their initial success from drawing instathots, qualifies them as a speaking authority for being a successful artist overall?

She criticizes some younger artists in the videos, for not having a "high enough art skill" for her to even critique, when her own skills aren't that high either.

My advice is to worry less on getting a following for the sake of it and more on working on your own artistic voice. What do you want to tell people as an artist, stick to that, be consistent in your message, and hone your skills in your style enough to get your message across. And your message doesn't have to be deep, you can get really good at drawing dogs wearing backpacks bc that's what you want to fucking draw. Cool awesome. You need a vision to start. Like writing a novel. Normies gravitate towards consistency over technical skill, consistency in your artistic voice is so important.

>>614846 said, this is actually a huge reason behind this “sjw style.” Years back on Tumblr there was a shift from everyone drawing anime-esque art to getting sick of it and declaring that the anime style made you creatively bankrupt. Some artists switched to learning semirealism, copying the Disney style, western superhero comic style, or actually coming up with a decent style of their own. But those who weren’t talented enough jumped on the SU “calarts” style because it looked so easy.
Ofc this doesn’t apply to all of these artists, I think the younger ones who weren’t around for that are just following trends, but it’s something I noticed from following the Tumblr art scene.

But health issues from overworking on art? She's been going on for ages about how her hands are fucked up from drawing too much, and it made sense some time ago when she used to put out a lot more content. But now she doesn't draw that quickly anymore, I believe she posts like one thing a month and it's in a very simplified style compared to the full pieces she used to do. Even her new artbook contains very old art, and as far as I know she's not involved in any major projects.

Given she was considered for ages to be that "wholesome cinnamon bun lesbian creator that can do no wrong", and she has just created the - possibly - most inclusive mainstream children show, that's pretty surprising.

What I've seen mentioned a lot is that she said the evil d-slur, which, as turns out, was her saying the name of someone else's podcast "Desperate House Dykes", after the host was plugging it.

>>616530I think it’s more that the white privilege of her and the other non-black people on the show finally slipped out since it just showed they were super ignorant in that they didn’t even think about the implications of what an all black field working farmer family can correlate to, especially on a show that had no black writers. Like since it just happened, this is like the start of HER recognizing her own privilege as a white person so of course she HOPEFULLY changes and grows (but iirc when she did comics she also ran into a lot of weird drama with that that I barely remember). But also, she’s a white darling in media too so this will all blow over in like a week and she still has a job somewhere, like it happens with all white people called out.
Tho also the fact that the man who said the stuff people were mainly offended by wasn’t blamed as harshly as her, like it’s another double standard in that being out as a marginalized creator means, at least on twitter, you have to be some weird paragon of your marginalization.

Something I don't like about courses of any kind is the display of student's work, because it often implies that yes, they learnt all of this at our course!

>>616530Overly sensitive people like this congregate around things that are wholesome, diverse, and "aesthetic." That basically rules out everything except children's cartoons. These people are also stunted in terms of maturity, which is another reason why they gravitate towards children's media. The problem is, they hold the staff on the shows to the same absurd standard they hold the shows themselves to, which is unrealistic. The shows are "wholesome" because they're for children, but kids shouldn't be browsing the creators' Twitter feeds. Cartoons are regulated and focus-grouped, but ordinary adults private lives obviously aren't.
These crazies can't separate fiction from reality. They think that whenever an artist or writer depicts something, they must personally endorse it 100%. They also think that they can't like a piece of fiction if the creator disagrees with them in any capacity or does something "
problematic." As if artists are politicians or something. It's ridiculous.

>>616609Okay samefagging because I actually went to see what this was about. Found the imgur album with all the screencaps about the messages he sent:
https://imgur.com/a/hjt9G4aApparently he had been doing this every day for two weeks, completely unprovoked like the message logs show. He sounds unhinged as fuck and I don't know if he's been on a drug bender or just having a severe psychotic episode that lasted for 14 days or something but this is some weird fucking shit. He's spouting straight out misogynistic and homophobic shit in her face and literally bragging about him being "cis, straight and in a happy relationship" to a lesbian artist.
For those who weren't following the drama last year, the wife/girlfriend of one of the (female) creators of a game called Heartbeat tweeted about being fed up with lesbians being coerced into sex by trans women and naturally got the unholy rage of the troon loons laid upon her. I'm guessing this harassment was ignited by that because he keeps bringing up how trans people are "so much more talented" and interesting than she is and how she's secretly lusting after them and you know the rest. I just have no idea why he decided NOW to start harassing her like this. Maybe he's just clinically insane but jesus christ these messages are fucking disturbing.

Thing is, I'm note sure if you can copyright structure as in structure = concept/ idea. Jake did his own drawings and his own texts (I assume) as far as I could tell by the video. Where I live, you can't copyright ideas or concepts, only specific wordings or pictures can be. Don't know if there's a difference in the USA. Also the book was published by a publisher, so we don't know how much say Parker had in creating the book. Can be that the publisher wanted to do a book with Parker, some intern then ripped the concept off of this other book and Parker only did the drawings and said yes to the rest.
If this guy thinks he has enough proof for copyright violations, why does he do this video? Why does he go after Parker, instead of the publisher? If it would be me, I would go straight to a lawyer and let them handle it to get me my compensation for this violation. I think he's doing the video bc it's not enough proof and/ or he's to pissed to think straight for a second.

Doesn't matter much if parker had a lot or no say in the book, he signed his name as the author so he is an accomplice. It's not about copyrighting, it's about plagiarism as the title says.
Anyway,my only critique to alphonso was that he should have waited to actually see the finished and published book before doing this. Not only he would be able to point out whatever was stolen in a better way, but he would have known for sure if he didn't credit him at any point.

Also, what I forgot yesterday. Alphonso should go to his own publisher and inform them about this. That‘s why you have a publisher — they usually have more ressources to go after such things.
I don‘t like Alphonso’s video bc he‘s basing his accusations on an unfinished product. There‘s no real proof. The preview could be pulled and the final published book could look different. So in the end, doesn‘t matter how morally right Alphonso is, when the final product looks different he‘s the dumb one.
Alphonso can be as much angry as he wants, I‘m just tired of all these people fighting publicly. How about talking face to face before calling for pitchforks.

And wtf do you mean unfinished product? Jake was showing previews of the actual finished book that's on preorder. It's 100% finished. Either watch the whole video to see the multiple examples Alphonso gave or don't comment on it.
And art thieves/people who plagiarize need to be called out publicly, especially when your as influential as and have a big following as much as Jake has.

No. 618472
>>618464My advice would be to break down your art by it's components. Factors like line (thickness, colour, clean/messy), colours, the proportions you use, the ranges of values you use, the underlying structure of your art. Picking it apart piece by piece can help you realise what's the same across what you make, and from there you can choose to differentiate it.
Part of it is just trying to find common features across your art, like if you mostly draw characters, do you usually draw them ¾? Front facing? Do you ever draw them from below or above, or only straight on?
If you look at the principles of design or elements of art, you can eventually home your eye to be more critical of your own art. In the time being, just try learning more, even about art skills that may seem boring. If you haven't tried perspective or composition, find resources on those. The more well rounded your abilities are, the more you improve overall as well as in specific areas. Draw things you're uncomfortable with drawing. Objects, landscapes, animals, people. Skills build upon each other.
You could post some of your art in the Rate My Art /m/ thread, asking for feedback. There are other sites like some art subreddits (r/learntodraw) that may help, but a lot of the time their feedback tends to be somewhat hugbox-y.

>>618464Not exactly what you're asking for, but if I were you, I'd just try to get out of my comfort zones.
Firstly, how does your usual workflow look? Do you sketch out the whole body via stick figures / gesture lines, and then refine, or do you start with the left eye and work from there with minimal guidelines? Whatever you do, find a different way to start your piece. Mix up all your steps into random parts of the process where possible. This may take some research, don't be afraid to read other people's techniques and approaches. Watch a large variety of artists speedpaints (unironically)
Second is draw things you're not used to. Do you draw pretty girl busts? Draw a robot, draw your cat, draw the bowl of fruit sitting on your table that you don't grab from as often as you should. If you find yourself stagnating with the style you draw your usual subjects in, drawing these other things might help you find different ways to portray shapes and ideas. It might not be as fun or as comfortable but its good for you, like medicine.
A lot of drawing is just getting a trained enough eye, which it sounds like you're developing. Its a long process of trying to view things critically and openly pretty much constantly in your day to day life.

They're not exempted from being made fun of.
>>619614This, people saying "they're both idiots!!!" when Nikotine barely even replied to this tard is baffling. Even if you think muh transgenderism is real she still did absolutely nothing to invite Mack's spergery over. And how did it drag "for too long"? Her wife called the guy out, the guy locked his account, complete silence, he then posts a half-assed nonpology two days later and faces absolutely no consequences for being an unprofessional, sexist piece of shit. That's it. But yeah go back to calling someone out for tracing because they drew the same red girl as another instagram artist or charged money for commissions if that's a drama more engaging.
No. 619700
>>619696Haha, nice number.
In all seriousness though, I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who noticed that. Something about the main character in particular is that they have such an overtly feminine figure that I just cannot see how they would register as 'boy' unless they're trans–which said artist hasn't made it known? The only one that I can see passing for a male is definitely the fire-dude, but it's probably because his jaw and the way his chest is shaped as opposed to the hips balance themselves out to be more male.
It bothered me a lot.
No. 619714
>>619699She never attacked anyone personally, she's addressing a wider issue on a societal level and comparing her to Racist Uncle is a big leap in logic. While Nikotine's unnecessarily aggressive in her tranny takes she still doesn't target people or send them angry messages unlike the ultimate pickme RU who lives off of her irate personal vendettas and
triggering the libz to keep her /pol/tard simps orbiting her. I don't understand how Nikotine can be called an "equally dumb shit" when she did literally nothing to Mack or his friends and it was her wife who made the initial callout tweet on her behalf to begin with. And I absolutely fail to see how posting edgy opinions on your personal Twitter account equates to "sending an artist harassing, aggressive messages for two weeks".

In the new one, you lose that sense of energy and expression. The poses are more similar to each other, and the expressions are less exaggerated. Everything is more spaced out and clean. Before, they looked like a group doing an action shot. Now they just look like characters individually drawn and placed next to each other.

>>616299I actually think this is an improvement? So much of the """good""" art has a lot of overrendering and dead faces that don't do much beyond try to be "pretty" and not communicate with the audience via the character. Her 2018 style looks like a cute face w/a body added on and maybe playing to that crowd (and failing).
On the other hand, her 2020 style actually has body language going on. The character looks coy, shoulders tensed, and her face looks as if she's just received a compliment and the reality of what's going on is settling in (the crown looks like it's just materialized on her head, reflecting her reaction). The shadows on her shoulders even remind me of the extent of her blushing vs just random red spot stylization.
When artists are aiming for illustration, storytelling through body language is important. I don't see how she downgraded. It looks like the work of someone who's finding their place.

No. 621192
>>621137Honestly this, fiction is fiction for a reason. Fiction was always meant for you to safely explore ideas and concepts outside of the norm and live out whatever fantasies you might have guilt free. I don't even mean the obviously bad stuff like pedophilia or murder but more like just things that are fine in fiction that you wouldn't want irl (looking at you YA romance novels with "healthy" relationships). This to me is really just a cute fluffy story and I don't really see the grooming aspect because he's ageless. I think the whole point of this is the whole "growing up to being his equal" kind of thing, where at first the guy doesn't see you as romantic partner (because you're a child, duh) but then you become adult and "viable". I would say these relationships to me are almost metaphorical even, not of real life pedophilia or grooming but instead when there's 2 people that would be compatible as a couple but are for some reason in unequal standing (idol/fan, boss/underling, social/anxious) and can only become that couple when the other person "steps up" and rises to the equal standing.
As someone who writes and reads fiction, I find that a lot of people tend to take things too literally when reading a piece of material, fantasy is often a tool to strip down complex ideas into simple concepts so that they can be safely explored and understood by whomever, where a complex idea such as 2 people being of unequal standing is broken down into a simple concept of "adult and child".

This. People take everything at face value and see "he's falling in love with the girl he raised, THATS GROOMING U PEDO!!!" without taking into account the nuance and context behind it. Even the most "wholesome" ideas can be
problematic in real life and I hate to see this constant discourse about what gets a pass in fiction and what doesn't because they're not real and IRL dynamics are way more complex than any fiction can portray. This setting in particular is obviously supposed to be seen as a metaphorical growth story and not some child grooming advertisement.
No. 621205
>>621156>when the other person "steps up" and rises to the equal standing.I don't really see any "stepping up" though. Maybe it's just from the edits I've seen, but she seems just as childish an immature as she was when she was a kid, only with kissing and bed sharing. Doesn't help that the artist constantly compares their relationship as a child, to their relationship now as an adult. It's just weird.
I can see why it comes off as "groomish", although I don't care either way.
No. 621211
>>620922Idk, when a bunch of his comics about them seem to hinge on comparing when she was a little girl vs now, it’s kind of creepy. If it’s about stepping up and being on equal footing, why use age specifically as their dividing factor? The dude is literally a vampire so it could just be about her becoming a vampire or whatever from human, but clearly her being a child is key to their dynamic and their romance.
Even if you say it’s fiction, whatever, it’s the same story that’s been told a hundred times so what’s the point of telling it again? You would think Kawacy might be able to inject it with some kind of creativity.
No. 621212
>>620922I'm kind of ambivalent about this. The likely target audience for this (ie anybody who reads manga, watches anime - especially shoujo content - or likes things like Twilight or Interview With the Vampire) can't really talk. I don't know why so many people in fandom want to play hypocritical fandom police these days.
I like the metaphorical interpretation posted in this thread. Plus, the dynamic we see here isn't really the same as with humans. As an immortal vampire, he mentally/physically stays a young adult, the exact same as the day he took her in. His development will stay the same, only changing as needed by his environment. She's the only one between them that can actually grow automatically, both mentally and physically. That means she can eventually meet his level (and remember, he's suspended in this stage), and be able to have feelings for him, and once he recognizes that she's no longer just the little kid he's been babysitting all this time, he can return them.
A better parallel to grooming would probably be a decrepit vampire who seeks out human children (or even just vulnerable humans in general) to raise and make a "harem" with, and/or "losing" them when they're no longer naive and innocent.
On the other hand, it seems like she always sees him as her superior. I guess it's kind of creepy in that sense. Don't really know what to think.
No. 621214
>>621208Hmm, maybe. I guess overall it reminds me of a manga I use to read, Bunny Drop. The main character adopts and raises a child, only for the story to end with the two of them getting together at the end.
Technically the main character didn't raise her with the intention of grooming her into his eventual bride, but most of the story was about him raising her as his daughter. So for it to end with them getting together, it's jarring to say the least.
I guess with these kinds of things, you go into this knowing your going to be hitting a very specific target of people who like that sort of thing as well as a target of people who'll be put off, me personally it feels like mixing water and oil. Wholesome adoptive story that eventually turns into a love story, just doesn't jive well with me.

>>621213This. The continuous content policing is a surefire way to kill all creativity because you can't explore ideas and settings anymore, the goalposts are moved so fast and so randomly that even enemies to lovers is considered a dynamic promoting abuse now. Even in this case when they fall in love they're vaguely the same age as the vampire boy doesn't age himself as she grows older, it's not like it's a 40-something guy abusing his stepdaughter or something.

Hot take: the people trying to cancel LupisVulpes are bigger cows than her. I read most of the doc against her and a lot of it is either hard to swallow pills for tranny-supporters, "friends" airing out dirty laundry for the sake of attention, or complete nothing burgers.
I honestly gave up after I saw the section where she had previously made "tribal" sparkledogs with feathers, and what I assume is one of the doc authors asked some rando two-spirit ANTIFA supporter if it was "racist" and ofc he said yes. Which is now "evidence" that she is a culturally appropriating racist. lol
Her twitter mentions are full of the exact type of immaturity I'd expect from furshitters, as shown in pic.
Here's the callout doc if you care to read through all of it, maybe I'm missing the actual tea but it just seems really retarded and full of vendetta and asshurt over someone's personal/religious views:

Lo and behold.
The headshot "false advertising" is also a joke. If you do not specify a pose (which yes, headshots have poses,) then artists can reuse their own bases if they want and charge whatever they feel is appropriate. It is up to the customer to decide if they price the artist charges is what they want to spend for the commission, and to communicate what character/pose they would like drawn.
Also I can't stop laughing at

That "unprofessionalism" section is weak. She did not have a refund policy listed for her animation comms. To most that means by default "no refunds", and yet she replied back to one customer trying to compromise for a refund since she used the payment to try to fix her car.
Ironically, the other imgur screenshots from the one spamming her for an immediate refund confirm that she was having car trouble prior to all this.
These customers would absolutely deserve to be blacklisted for their exploitive bullshit imo. Complete disregard for any of the work she may have already done, and all bc they are "hurt" by her opinions lmao. Not at all surprised the second one is literally using daddy's credit card.
https://imgur.com/a/1xIfo0Zhttps://imgur.com/a/9QOhvWJ>>621894Not sure if "preachy" is the appropriate word anymore when it is actual preaching lol.
I'm just wondering how long the harrassment will go on for, she has a surprising amount of her personal info made public and some of the people leaving comments on her dA page seem pretty unhinged.

>>623245No offence but this seems like a bit of a dumb question. There are many reasons why she would use a more cartoony style:
-there's already so many artists that draw semi-realistic/ realistic art. It's better to carve out a niche that likes a specific cartoony style
-she may like drawing cartoony art
-she likes drawing comics, and simple cartoony art is easier to draw for a comic
-cartoony art is more iconic
-social media algorithms prefer artists that draw consistently, so it's easier to keep up a post schedule with a cartoony style

Sure, Lavendertowne's art style isn't for everyone, but we can stop with the narrative that realism is the be all end of art styles; it should exist solely to teach you the ropes of art, not as a primary art style. Don't get me wrong, sometimes realistic art can look decent, but I prefer semi-stylized art over Photo-Realism any day.
Sorry if I’m projecting by the way, she does need try new things but sometimes, drawing cartoons is perfectly fine as long as you know what you’re doing.

>>623508Cadmium isn't
toxic in paint. It's dangerous to manufacture because that involves cadmium in powder form, but when it's been processed and bound with other materials, the cadmium is basically made insoluable in water which means it won't be absorbed so easily into the body through skin contact although it's still fat soluable so yu shouldn't smear it all over your skin.
Unless an artists is straight up snorting cadmium dust, or drinking paint by the liter, then they'll be fine. You shouldn't sand dried cadmium paint.
Not to mention if it were so dangerous it would require a very visible warning label on it. This info is literally so accessable you'd only need to google it so I don't get why she doesn't do her research. Especially since she works with oil paints and spirits, and those materials are so much more
toxic.

Its definitely kidcore and its purposely bad and imitating late 90s schoolbook and computer game art, it fills a nostalgic niche and its pretty good for what it is because it genuinely authentic, and looks exactly like these things did.
Art is not all realism or great stylized illustrations with perfect anatomy, this is a stylistic niche based on nostalgia, people pay 25 dollars because it looks exactly like shitty 90s/00s computer art, which is pretty hard to replicate imo.

>>623534As far as warning labels go, it depends on where it's being sold and what the law requires. Here in the US, the state of California requires it, so you'll see it on paints containing cadmium and titanium, for example. The California warning is kind of overkill since it talks about
toxic ingredients instead of
toxic overall (even if it's rendered inert, it gets the label). Going to take a wild guess that that's the extent of her research on cadmium's toxicity.
>>623679Inktober's original intent was to draw in ink. The flexibility allowed ink and wash and even ink and markers. It wasn't until (as others have pointed out) crybabies who were mad at being left out of another opportunity to shill their art within a comfort zone began crying did they change it.
The ableism arguments make no sense when they're coming from people who can't let go of their fucking stylus for a $1 pen for 30 days.
The creator copyrighting the term seemed back then like a nice 'fuck you' to the ones arguing this, since they were the ones who were hell bent on selling their shitty Inktober zines.

Calm down puccanoodlrs, no one wants your shitty boring chicken scratch characters that all have the same wonky face and body and expression. And don't worry Nintendo wouldn't steal from you even if you paid them.

>>625717Link in the upcoming Zelda game can have a ladle as a weapon and she somehow thinks they stole that from her, as if she's the only person in the world who can design a character with a ladle. As if Nintendo would even give a rat's ass about her existence and her extremely mediocre character design.

>>625717It's this "Lucky Ladle" guy. They similarities are the fact that he's wearing blue, is blonde and has a cooking theme and so does her character. I don't get it. Isn't this just Link wearing blue? And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought cooking is a big thing in Legend of Zelda aside from the fighting. I don't get how they think they could be copying her, when her character is literally just a guy wearing a hair wrap.

>>625720Her asskissers replying to her and feeding her delusions are making me want to kms. I was hoping at least one person with any common sense would just come right and say how ludicrous she's being. Then again it'd be hilarious to see her lose a lawsuit against Nintendo.

>>625720"I've only been developing my characters for 7 years" yet these are the last 8 drawings she's posted.
Imagine "developing" your characters/story for 7 years just to keep drawing the same one or two in the same pose. Also I'm convinced she has never done proper lineart in her life.
No. 625744
>>625733No lie, she has been drawing the same characters from her "story" Barrowdale Village Plaza(?) for years and no one has ANY idea what it's about except that the pink haired girl is her self insert and there's romantic tension between her and her male character (not the blond one). This is because for many years she was single and would constantly complain about it. (She got a boyfriend recently at long last and now she won't stop being publicly annoying about it)
But if you've been working on something for 7 years and you don't even have a single comic page or anything story-related but thousands of drawings of your self-insert standing facing left maybe you're not as good at this as you think you are.
No. 625746
>>625715>>625733It’s easy to “copy” designs that are this simple. Like, it’s a girl in an apron and jeans. It’s a boy in a bandana and jeans. Their clothes are brown, white, and blue. These outfits aren’t so unique that no one could make a similar character without having seen them.
And why would anyone steal ideas that are this boring? You can’t deduce anything about these characters except that they cook or bake, and maybe that’s just their day job. What are their personalities? Their backgrounds? Fuck if I know.

>>625744She literally feels like a more successful Holly Brown lol and even Holly has at least one shitty comic completed with her bland OCs.
I never saw the appeal in her work (the animation demo pinned to her profile is janky tbh) and struggle to understand why so many kiss her ass. Her self insert OC immediately reminded me of Ukyo (even if it is a reach it still gave me vibes) so her claims of feeling like her ideas are being ripped off are kinda hilarious given how boring they are. She does get that Link wore blue in Wind Waker too right? Like, well over 7 years ago and the start of her “career”.

These youtube accounts piss me off so much.
This guy linked one of "his" speedpaints in a more popular painting tutorial, and i immediately noticed something off, namely the low image quality of the speedpaint itself, the wildly inconsistent artstyles and skill levels (even though they're about a month apart), and the incredibly amateurish header.
do they gain money from this? what even is the purpose of it?

>>625725I went on her twitter and I can't believe there isn't a single person calling her out on this delusion. A soup ladle is the weapon for every fighting lunchlady character ever.
Her art style is also fucking boring, pic related. 4/5 of them have exactly the same face and expression here. And if we want to talk about character ripoffs, from left to right we have Link, feral Helga Pataki, Wendy's hamburgers, Brock from Pokemon, and Pucca.

Not sure if I'm just being irrational but does it really bother anyone else when people let their pets step on or play with their merch and packing supplies?
I know pets always want to see what you're up to, but it seems unprofessional to let your pets step all over your shit.

What is it with people and the Zelda series?

>>625791It really only bothers me if it’s excessive. The cat doesn’t belong to applecheeks, she babysits it very occasionally like maybe less than once a month for a weekend, and you can’t really stop cats from jumping up on tables and stuff when you’re working unless you lock them out of the room. Like if I was a patron of hers I would mention something because I’m crazy allergic to cats, but it would be rare to react to stuff on like paper and her house looks fairly clean.
Compared to baylee Jae, who openly shows her cats barfing and having accidents all over her house; eating, sleeping in and throwing up the crinkle paper she uses to box her orders for her store; constantly showing the piles of garbage and mess she never cleans up with cats jumping on everything, yeah that’s more disgusting and gross. She’s fully capable of locking her cats out of rooms and out of the box of paper they probably peed in- her house is larger and has multiple rooms- but her followers know what they’re getting when they order from her. They probably would think their package is blessed if one of her cats peed on it

>>625876I went to check her out and I refuse to believe that she's worked for Cartoon Network, DreamWorks AND currently Warner Bros. Her designs are the visual equivalent of white noise and for someone with her portfolio you'd expect her animation to look better than 2002 Newgrounds flash movies.
Another thing that I noticed too was that she has huge problems drawing hands and clearly avoids drawing them and uses only a few poses that she can pull with confidence. She must have a huge case of either an impostor syndrome she's trying to hide or straight out dunning&krugers.
Also imagine being the person at Nintendo's customer service dealing with her fans sperging out at them for stealing her super original unique blonde guy with a ladle design that she probably ripped off from Link to begin with.

Managed to screencap this tweet before she deleted it kek.
"You know I was joking right?", so at what point was it a joke? When you passively aggressively tweeted about how you've been working on your OCs for longer than BOTW has been out, thus providing "evidence" Nintendo stole from you? Or when you asked everyone how to protect your "IP" against big companies? And said it'd be the best route to get a lawyer?
Yep, sounds like one big joke, Marie.

>>625791It's disgusting in excess. The AANI group had some heinous examples. Among the worst would be cats rolling on dakimakuras. No clue if said pillowcases were the ones they were selling or keeping for themselves because they never saw fit to clarify.

>>625715Ah Marie Puccanoodles. She's such a cow I'm surprise she's not talked about more with her inability to draw combined with her massive following and work she gets at big name companies (probably nepotism).
A little known fact that many people don't know: she got a rabbit a few years ago and it died within 5 months because she left it alone and went on vacation (was making tweets about being on vacation/travelling right before her tweets about her rabbit dying).
Also she would constantly gloat about how she grew up raising rabbits and "had rabbits for 10 years", yet it seems like the moment she actually got one it dies. Hm.

My SO is friends with her and I’ve met her on a few occasions during conventions. She’s just so incredibly boring and I eventually had to mute her on twitter because I was tired of seeing her piss poor art and whiny posts like these recent ones regarding her OCs. Her OCs are so painfully generic, it’s sad she even has as big an audience that she does.

>>626743Sadly not all screens show colors the same exact way, and your work could always show up kind of bad on someone's screen. You can maybe check from another screen before posting like
>>626818 said, or you can invest in a screen that's a bit more accurate to the sRGB color space, which I think is not the best but the most used (I might be talking out of my ass, if anyone knows better correct me). Also, phone screens tend to amp up saturation and contrast to make everything (like pictures you take) more appealing and full of color.
I used to draw on a Sony VAIO laptop and only after I started viewing my art on other screens I realized that everything looked yellow. Then I got a gaming screen and now my art looks almost identical to when I view it on my phone, just a tiny bit warmer.

>>625858Aaron diaz is a delusional hack. When you do fanart of content you already fall into a weird gray area of copyright infringement AGAINST the company. Thinking “what if male character was female” is not groundbreaking, its one of the oldest tropes there are. So really aaron is closer to infringing copyright on nintendo with his zelda stuff than nintendo is on infringing on him by making an obvious character concept.
There are exceptions but those are few and far between most of these accusations are people being delusionally pushed into thinking they’re more relevant than they actually are because they have 50k followers on twitter.
