HollyBRown is a bad artist, YouTuber, webcomic author, and fujoshi popular with edgy children for her "no bullshit" attitude despite not accepting any criticism.
She beleives she's known for her three webcomics:
Purgatory, her oldest and worst comic, about two gay teens in a cult with lots of rape:
https://tapas.io/series/PurgatoryParanormal Plague, whose most-drawn character hasn't been introduced, with rape DLC:
https://tapas.io/series/ParanormalplagueChroma Prince, her newest Patreon-only NSFW yaoi comic about alien sex slaves, not updated in a month at currently four pages:

>>799003It would help if Hitler Jr. was visually distinct and not just Damien with slightly different bangs.
Ffs Holly, give them a different body types and facial features. Hitler Jr. should be portly like his dad.
Also, I know I've mentioned it before, but if she wanted Salmon's rapist to be a complex, morally grey person, maybe don't make him look like the most evil human being in history. Making him literally Hitler is a great way to turn him into a two-dimensional cartoon villian.

>>799302To get a dark Green you either mix black and green (assuming you use a green that can go along with the same developer as the black) or do a really light bleach and then apply a dark green colour.
The closest to what holly did would be, and mind you that would only add a tonality or green to the highlights. That’s done with some specific products that are applied during the shampoo and are non invasive. The same way as people using blue shampoo to get rid of yellow hair, just to make myself clear.
The problem stays the same: “ if professionals can do it then how hard can it be?” Is everything she can think of when tackling her ideas. She’s not saving up that many money, too, especially if she’s going to dye or bleach again after this failed attempt.
I do like her with darker hair anyway, I hope she keeps it.

This scene is going to establish how Simon doesn’t want to kill things because of how violent it is and then it will be a parallel to him finally facing down his abuser with/without his boyfriend and then coldly taking the shot out of revenge. And then they all escape and live happily ever after.
I mean, if holly could weave themes in her stories then that would be why she’s focusing so much on a gun, and simon using a gun.

>>799775The way she talks shit about art trends and making comics, I can say with some confidence she absolutely hates making them. She never really has a good thing to say about art in general outside of what she's excited about at the moment that she thinks will make her money. She's forcing it. That much is obvious. I don't think she knows it's just OK to talk about characters and concepts that are floating around in headspace. People do it all the time and get a response. She's mentioned just about everything under the sun regarding Reese and the teen fujos eat those scraps up like candy. There's nothing left. But I think in her mind making a comic 'legitimizes' her endless rambling, and bonus points for being able to make the excuse of 'working hard'

At that age and with how many chances she already had it IS a metaphorical certificate of her own laziness to see where she is at now. There is a difference between feeling worthless when it's undeserved and there are cases where someone REALLY should take a good look at their own actions and learn from their mistakes.
She had so many chances, so much good advice which she choose to ignore, so many possibilities with her craft - he fact she still CHOOSES (yes, deliberately) to cintinue like always really doesn't speak for her character or her work ethic. She is not a child anymore, she has a home and is obviously loved, I can't her the rants anymore about how shit her life is cause her brother is stupid or, gasp, she's not rich, as if everyone else would have such a perfect life or how "fat" she is while being perfectly financially capable of going to a gym or just eating differently.

other working professional artists) want to choose her service over a tried and true manufacturer.

I’ve been chatting to her a lot about going public about her ex, because he’s the one that caused the shit with Kickstarter too. I think she’s just too scared right now.
It’s frustratinf because I know it’s none of her fault but her keeping quiet is helping no one. She’s really bad at keeping people updated because she’s so ashamed of her past.
I asked her if it was ok to post about this, she said yes.

So it's about time to just talk about it.
Okay back on topic. I think laser cut charms can be cute but they are not the most popular convention item that's for sure, it has to be very specific designs. Even printed wooden charms that you can get from zap are more expensive per piece than acrylic charms, yet will sell for less usually. Mostly because people are like "Ah yes acrylic is waterproof"

>>800766TBQH, I like wooden charms and things, I think they look cute. However, she needs to coat it, or they'll break/get moldy quickly. Apray matte coats are best.
I don't know if she did that already.
But uh… watercolor palettes? Unless she, again, coat it with a super impermeable varnish or something, how is this going to work? Especially considering that this looks like low quality wood.
Also, now that I think of it, is that palette the kind you put paint on or the kind you mix paints on? If it's the second one,
good luck. It's too small to mix paints in, you can't see the color exactly and, once again, the water problem.
No. 800791
>>800715We'll see how she responds to this because like the person above said; It would have been much better for her come outright and say that she was having personal issues instead of just keeping people in the dark.
Back on topic; I'm no graphic designer but, that design seems to be slightly needlessly complicated. The laser in the middle of the blade is unnecessary as well as the highlights at the bottom of the blade. Logos need to be able to be scaled down or up very easily which is why the 3d logos we used mainly back in the early 2000's faded out and gave way to flat 2d logos.
And also…Wooden water color palette???? That name alone is a paradox. Unless she is sealing it with like 10 coats of polyurethane spray, the wood is going to rot and get warped and moldy.

>>800801I agree, and I feel like the palette would be terrible to use. Paint really seeps into wood, and the star-shaped holes have nooks and crannies that would be difficult to clean out.
The whole point of palettes is to give you a surface where to mix your colours, too, which this thing doesn't have. I don't understand how you're supposed to use this.
It feels like she just bulk-bought the containers without knowing what she'd use them for and settled on a palette to seem artsy.

It doesn't matter whether or not the wood is finished, having wood be a paint palette at all is still the stupidest idea and a waste on all counts.
No one cares that the inside of the palette is 'cute'. They care that it functions like it should. She's all style and no substance.

I hope whoever is suckered into this has fun trying to assemble a wonky ass stand with messy glue. She really isn't thinking any of this through. Wood for art supplies isn't as sturdy as plastic. And because she's making them, they're not really cheaper either.
This entire video was a jumbled puke of half baked ideas she thinks other artists will 'kinda want, idk' . If you thought she was out of touch before, she's completely off the radar now.

>>802336This is an almost exact repeat of last year, beat for beat. Last year it was the bnha zine and San Japan. This year its… Laser cutter and San Japan. She thinks she can just suddenly materialize things to sell and she thinks people want it when she goes to table.
She may either end up fucking up the entire laser machine first before trying to sell it, or it'll be a huge paperweight, I'm placing a bet, for way before November. Like maybe August.

And she's all like "oh with MDF you can get more detail in!" and you know in that case…. just size down the drawing?
It just makes no sense. Like people get these things from kickstarters not to use anyway, it's just for decoration most of the time. It's a novelty thing. Anyway it's just really dumb. Waiting for her to get bored of it.

>>802804I went to a convention a few weeks ago, and didn't see wood or acrylic charms, but saw other types of charms and pins. Stickers actually seemed pretty popular besides the actual prints.
I'm gonna just go ahead and accept the fact that Holly refuses to learn about what people are interested in buying at these things.
No. 802862
>>802810She could maybe get some success from this at "mixed" conventions that aren't anime specific or places like craft shows. Wood products seem to do better in places like that, from what I've seen.
But, that would mean she actually has to start making generic stuff that normies would gravitate to instead of shitty charms of her original characters that no one cares about. It would also help if she didn't make shit out of particle board.
No. 802946
>>802819From selling at conventions I can tell you from low to high how popular and how well certain products sell.
LOW
Prints/Posters
T-Shirts
Stickers
Charms
Pins
HIGH
There's going to always be market for prints but, most people that attend conventions (especially anime ones) are going to be teens that have pocket change and want to buy small cheaper things they can use/wear. I've seen a few people that sell for one particular niche like a con I went to a few months ago had an artist that was selling only mugs with her art on it and another was selling only clocks and both were sold out of alot of their products b just day 2. You know what I don't see ever? Wooden charms. Because they're not only unappealing and lowkey ugly but, they don't appeal to the demographic you're aiming for. She is NEVER going to make her money back on this laser cutter.

>>804270Jesus fuck. I would say she might be headed in the right direction with acrylic standees because they're another thing that sell well at conventions but, she somehow managed to fuck that up too. First off they're clear. Acrylic standees are always colored and function well for people who can't afford anime figures, also the base is always acrylic not wood? Wood might work well if it were colored but, with it being clear it's just distracting not to mention WAY too thick, it would be better if it was about 5mm thick because that should be all it needs to stand up, it's not that heavy. Once again she manages to fuck up something that might have been a good idea. Also vapors put off from burning plastic are 10xs more
toxic than burning wood so I pray to GOD she's getting proper ventilation.

I knew she wasn't going to be satisfied with just wood. I knew she was gonna try for acrylic. Burn thru that Kickstarter money, Holls! That's all you're good at doing!

Essentially it's just a huge sink of money and time, and it took years to grow my hair out again to get rid of the chemicals. I found the best way to combat that hair is to get good shampoo and just condition the fuck out of it. And also not wash it every day.
Or you know, chop it short. But I ain't about to put a wig on because like if you're gonna shave off all your hair, own it. A friend of mine with pretty much the exact hair texture as Holly did that, and she never looked back. If you're too busy to take care of your hair get rid of it!

So I guess MDF is a great option for people who want to hand paint all those darn charms… Either way real tired of Holly using Herschel over and over again as her damn test sample for all her charms.

No. 806033
>>805911>>805965It's not just about the quality and the ideas, the mere fact she mostly wants to produce for people who will sell their charms/whatever to their costumers is just a huge mistake on her part and in her calculations.
So far she has made 7 sales, even if we are really generous and take the most expensive option at about 100 dollars (not the cutting boards, since they are a recent addition), she has made a maximum of 700 bucks so far, which isn't even a faction of the laser cutter price, especially if you consider the shit ton of materials she must have gotten. It's a given at this point that she must have spent most if not all her Kickstarter money on this "Project", for some reason believing she will make a profit. The distribution of her Purgatory books is quite questionable at this point, not to mention she surely hasn't finished the new pages and the prologue.
No. 806048
>>806033In her last vlog, she kind of mentioned purgatory as an afterthought. All the pages she's supposed to be working on are in a drawer, which she opens, briefly mentions not wanting to work on them and then shuts it again.
The prospect of those books getting made any time soon is not looking good.
I guess she figured "oh, if I spend that money on the laser cutter then double down on
only my laser cutter "business" I'll turn enough profit to get the books to print and shipped. They'll never know the difference!
Except that's not what's happening. She really thought she was going to turn a profit the moment she started down this path, when almost no business does out the gate.
This isn't what her backers paid for. They didn't pay to fund her half baked business ventures. They (lamentably) paid for a physical copy of her comic.
I forget the due date but it's fast approaching. She's got her grimey fingers in too many pies to pull any part of this off successfully.
I'd argue it's worse than last year.
Next year it'll be a paranormal plague Kickstarter and a shiny new toy for her to set her sights on to fund with that money. She hates art so fucking much.

If she has spent the money she got from the kickstarter on the laser printer, cant she get in trouble for that? Especially if the date is this month and it looks like she's nowhere near completed with the comic, let alone the epilogue.

I don't know. She'll probably get away with it again because she's not as high profile as she was before. But nobody is getting books by May. It's already the middle of the month and she hasn't addressed anything, not even an extension date.

Seriously who would want this?? Plus since this is a cutting board wouldnt her design get fucked up eventually?
No. 806725
>>806724I think she's designing a lot of things that she doesn't actually use, so she doesn't think about the practicality of her designs. You wouldn't be able to use this to knead any kind of dough since your flour/oil/dough would get stuck in the engravings. As for cutting things, not having an even surface could cause what you're cutting (or even your knife) to slip.
I've seen people use fancy-looking cutting boards as decoration though, maybe that's what she wants them to be used for.
No. 806832
>>806814well, she still does make most of these designs in big batches and to sell on a con or similar - so the critique is
valid in this case. Even if something else was etched into the cutting board, the fact that actually using it in the kitchen could potentially become quite a hassle remains true as well.

Dear lord, learn how to budget woman and read some books on business or podcasts or something at least.

if she still had her twitter, she'd be less likely to get away with it, but she has before. This isn't even new.
Her supporters with money are too dumb or too scared to figure her out and call her on it. It isn't like she's got the same audience pull like she used to. So no one should be scared of calling her a scam artist by now. She's gotten away with it one too many times.

She’s still got the comic itself to finish plus an epilogue and all the other backer rewards too. But laser projects take full priority because it’s instant money over the money she was already paid and having to deliver on her KS.

Those books are never going to be sent out at this rate. She ran with her fans money again.

Definitely a mood.
You’d think for the money she received to finish the comic that she would at least TRY to put a tiny bit of effort into it. But that’s too much to ask of her apparently. She wants only to play with her lasers and make mediocre marker holders. If this isn’t a big “fuck you” to her fans, I don’t know what is.

Holly got a job everyone! Good for her. She’s applied to a few locations. Though I’m going to assume this might be the Amazon job she mentioned at one point. Can’t imagine her sticking around for that job since the working conditions will not be the best and she’ll be expected to hussle nonstop.

>Also holly amazon ships art and you ship art don’t you see them as a direct competitor wtf??What's that got to do with her art? The key difference is Amazon isn't a failed business attempt. She's not even in the running as competition on a basic level.
This is like asking an artist "why do you work at michaels, they also cater to other artists." like..No shit? Dunno if you were being sarcastic here or not but that's a pretty stupid argument to make.
Anyway, she's ALREADY bitching about her hours, she's
not gonna last. She might as well still be job hunting at this point because that's not a job for someone who's been outta work for 3+ years. Hell, it's not a job for most reasonable people who want decent treatment at work.
She's going to be too tired to do much else when she gets back at 6AM, and then she'll be bitching about how she hasn't gotten to work on any of her laser stuff (Purgatory who?) and once she figures she can hide behind her shit job, her fans are gonna stan her for "working SO hard!" again.
It's $15 an hour, if it's Amazon, so it'll be interesting to see how long she'd be willing to last for that money. She won't find too many other options better than that for her basic skill set. So if she goes looking for another job after she quits she'll be acting like she's entitled to that and more.

Which is odd considering that online the story isn’t even done. And she also promised an epilogue. So I’m guess she rushed through it and submitted the files to be printed and is just slowly updating the comic online??? I honestly don’t know.

Like she can never seem to just chill out and have a few things going on rather than a dozen at a time.
If she just worked on her comics while doing a part time job she would probably feel so much better compared to always being stressed by thinking of paying rent, paying for the car, working on products for the store, working on a book, doing commisions, and doing youtube all at the same time….
Holly, just pick a couple, theres no need to rush everything and do it all at once
Her posts always sound so tiring and depressing
No. 818749
>>818579Because she thinks working all the time somehow makes her more successful and worthy as an artist.
I get the impression that she thinks if you are not working every waking hour of the day on something then you are just not doing it right, you're not serious enough about it. She doesn't seem to get that working hard is only part of the equation. You have to be smart about it.
Redrawing her comic over and over is only going to give her diminishing returns but she's so obsessed with getting it right that she can't move past it.

Was he supposed to say something here or…? With as sloppy as these pages are, it’s safe to say she doesn’t give a shit about this story anymore and just wants to move on with her laser business.

"It's not like I have no social or practical skills, it's that mennial labor like retail only appeals to souless people"
It comes from a place of being emotionally and socially stunted, along with being coddled for a skill she thought made her godtier and now realizing she's mediocre at best because she didn't put in the work. Reality is really hitting her hard, realizing she has no job prospects on the art market. And it's not only because of her mediocre art, plenty of mediocre artists get jobs, I think most of all her downfall is her abysmal attitude because she's stuck in her teens. Her life is becoming an existential nightmare tbh, but she laid on the bed she made - no friends,no work , debt, that's all on her, and maybe her enablers.

>what I like doing omg, shit. yeah, I-I dunno, when I make artwork for money it's just that you know? you can't really pay me to care, you can only pay me to fulfill a job, cos if you can pay somebody to care, that's a lot of care, the only way to do that is to pay them to do their own thing. i guess some people don't have their own thing so their job is a lot of meaning to them because they don't really create much themselves right, which is like really dark I guess but like, for example, people who don't like write their own characters and stuff, they'd love to work for disney or something, cause they have no desire to make their own characters, they just want to do it for disney or do it for this, you know, and some people are like that, like they literally don't want to make their own thing and want to work for someone as in a team. and you know and that's not how I am haha and I know I'm not like that like I literally hate people so like… the concept of me like having to constantly battle with people over my ideas and constantly having to justify art decisions or be challenged on something or like.. but I dunno if it's a means to an end and you know it is, as opposed to trying to care when you don't care, it is a lot easier. for example, if someone is like "can you draw 14 swords, can you do it?" I can do it, I can do those things, but if you're telling me to care about the story and plot and world and universe and you're telling me you're hiring me for that, then it's a lot of emotional labour I suppose huehah you know what I mean, I don't know if that makes sense but I invest a lot of effort into the stuff I care bro, like a lot, like i'm grossly obsessive as you all know, if I feel like there's something wrong with the project or story or something, I'll probably let them know huuuahah and they might not like that shit ahah or like i'd probably get disinterested because I'd be too scared to tell them something you know?But then she goes on that she'd rather be a cog in the machine, while also expressing a distaste for it ("I'd prolly be a colorist, like, here, Holly, take my grunt work, I'll be in the car"), which one is it then, Holly? just her entire tone during that part is so insufferable, she comes across so snotty and arrogant.

Alternatively, you have to be damn good at your craft (and, even better, have made a name of yourself) THEN you can maybe take the time to focus on your OCs, as shitty as they may be.
Currently, she is no better than any other 14 year old who wants to live in a fantasy world rather than work a job they don't like or face any kind of consequences.

No. 826216
>>826204She doesnt even have any friends, because she never has anything good to say about anyone. Not even herself. She can't take her head out of her own ass for just one fucking second to appreciate someone else's company, let alone other artists. This is why she's so miserable, and socially inept. She's built herself a little protective shell online and stayed there for so long that she became out of touch. The only time she interacts with others is when she's trying to get their money.
Not sure what she's even still doing or why she even bothers with art any more if she's obviously miserable doing it.
Someone mentioned she already lost her car/job? Tough shit if true, but she made no effort on any front.

And another couple bills to pay, too. If she's at fault and she JUST got the car, her current insurance might drop her, AND her mom/aunt's insurance increases if holls is under her name. So, yeah. Cool move, holly.
Outside of just scraping by to pass the written and driving tests, she probably got
no practice or lessons in between that and the time she got her license. States like texas sort of just hand licenses out to anybody.
This is all just me guessing though. But she's definitely out more money.
No. 826354
It feels weird to say this, but all this crap surrounding certain members of the Art tube community was what really made me realize just how few youtubers care more about enjoying themselves and connecting to an audience than about the money and views. Holly for instance, is the only one I know who clearly comes from a super shitty impoverished background, and she could have given a lot of younger artists in similar situations hope if she didn't constantly make the kind of stupid lifestyle decisions that ppl w/ no common sense and who are from uneducated rural areas are often expected to make. (And which ultimately just continues the cycle of poverty and debilitating mental illness.)
Remember when she said she wanted to go into business for the moolah?? Honestly that could have been worth it alone just from her being forced to take classes on finances and maybe, POSSIBLY learning a thing or two about how to manage her own. Clearly she doesn't learn from anyone in her family, or from fucking up on the internet for all to see, OR from losing tons of money all the time bc she doesn't have to worry about suffering consequences like, y'know, homelessness and starvation. (The real kind, not the short fasts or whatever she does where she can still afford whatever junk she wants when she feels like eating again. The kind where you're scrambling for cash or to find somewhere that will give you free food bc otherwise you'll literally die.) I mean, obviously I don't want that kind of thing to happen to her nor would I wish it on anyone, but it seems like a possibility if something ever happens to her aunt and she has to make it on her own rn. Or even if she roomed with her sister and the baby, it's not a stretch to imagine her barely paying the minimum of her half of the living costs or even less than that and expecting her sister to pick up the slack somehow, for whatever dumb fuckjng reason she comes up with. "reee I went 2 days w/o food, so can you and the kid!!" "No I can't watch ur shitty kid while u go work an actual job and I sit on my ass drawing deformed alien dicks all day, tf??? Lol wouldnt even care if they got into the toxic wood staining supplies or the laser cutter, wish my cats would do the same and die!!"

No. 826669
>>826550Two factors, I think. One is that she had more followers during the zine era, and the other is that in this case nobody cares about the actual product. People only support Purgatory to support Holly. Most readers found the comic through her channel, not the other way around.
Fans who've stuck around through the zine, the tracing, and everything else aren't going to be deterred by anything she does.

her with her work then just shat on him.
There are some parts of her life I'm sure she doesn't deserve, like, sometimes you just get dealt a shitty hand, but she fully deserves whatever backlash she gets from a social/artist standpoint.
Ever since she deleted her Twitter she's been scraping the barrel for whatever relevancy she can get.
And
>>828527 is absolutely right, it is strange she got as far as she did.
I think how she expressed herself out the gate really helped.
She started off playing the "I'm trash, I'm pathetic, but I work so hard, and I am so relatable and "real" card, so she's amassed a following of younger people who feel rebellious, so they "stan their queen" because failure and irresponsibility are "so relatable".

I guess Holly is desperate to make back the kickstarter money she blew? I mean she probably realizes that she can't afford to lose what's left of her audience if she wants to continue using youtube/art as her main source of income.
A little off topic but I can't see this ending well for Holly. It looks like her YouTube career is coming to an end soon and she doesn't seem to have any back up plans for her life after YouTube. Her art (and attitude) isn't good enough to really get any work in the industry and she doesn't have the business skills to make it in the convention circuit. If Holly at least got the degree she sunk so much time and money into she could have went for teaching but she shot herself in the foot by not completing that either. Holly's future looks bleak.

She also thought the 180 rule means that in film you can't go from the back of a character's head to the front…. surprise! You can! This is kinda infuriating honestly
Then she continues to ask for comic jobs and work as if her followers can actually hire her? Apparently she's opened a deviantart just to show her comics in a portoflio? Because she doesn't want to spend money on a website because comic jobs don't pay a lot?? Jesus just… get the website.

>>831083It's true, though. The 180° rule is explicitly for movies (or any type of video media) because you only have one constant frame, hence if you break the rule it gets confusing. However, in comics, because you can see the whole page all at once, multiple frames, it's not the same issue.
Sure, respecting the rule when making comics as a beginner probably will help you make more readable comics by removing the possibility of fucking up in that aspect from you, but it really is not something to consider much when you're a (good) comic artist. Open any good comic book, you'll notice the 180° rule is never consistently applied, if applied at all.
In Holly's case, whether she respects the rule (that she doesn't even understand) or not doesn't really matter: her panels and framing are always stale as fuck.
No. 831798
>>831788It isn’t explicitly for movies though. This article explains the 180 degree rule better than I can:

I really wish she’d stop talking like everything she says is fact and professionals don’t understand their jobs.

>>834209As someone who draws/paints for a living (not comissions, actual degree) it's quite hard to believe that someone who constantly uses various tools to finish a picture is still THIS shaky when drawing simple lines. There is absolutely no flow in her drawing, she barely moves her hand as if she's scared she could do something wrong. That's something you should learn automatically, not need a teacher or course for. Not to mention she takes ages for inking, when it's basic handiwork, once the sketch is finished.
What she does is not always "art" but sometimes mindless work (part of the industry, nothing wrong with that), it's fascinating to see how she thinks taking forever is alright. Since she asked her followers for jobs in colouring/inking etc. I guess she really thinks her speed and results are anywhere good enough. I know it's been said many times but I connot see her making it anywhere in the comic/animation/concept art industry. Especially if she so desperately wants to keep her "style", as if she would get paid for that, when most studios need workers with great knowledge of art fundamentals (non-existant for her) and even better cooperation.
There is literally no chance for her - she won't be able to get by via YouTube money forever, certainly can't finance her life via kickstarter (lol) and seems absolutely unable to grasp the simple but important fact that NOBODY gets livelihood money for drawing damn-ugly OCs all day and acting like a total bitch.
Yeah, long rant, sorry, but as someone who actually works in the very industry Holly so desperately sees herself as a part of I just REALLY am flabbergasted sometimes how this woman-child can justify being an absolute insufferable dumb-shit when she has no diligence, no hard work to back her up (she doesn't, her "skills" prove it), no idea what she even talks about and still expects to be treated like a friggin' raw egg, despite literally not managing ANYTHING.
No. 834920
>>834907she did say 'i swear when i'm not streaming i do draw a lot faster'. Depending what part of the streams you catch, sometimes she talks like she would agree with most of your post - for example i heard her say that she thinks people commission her so that she will talk to them. she said people like hearing her voice more than they like her art (part of why she doesn't draw them efficiently)
but then other times of course her art-ego will swell
No. 835185
>>834907Honestly, I used to be completely stunted in my art for YEARS, and it took so much soul searching to realize it was fear of messing up holding me back from studying and trying to improve. I could dish art advice and criticism but could never take it, much like Holly. Holly internalized the idea that her style will one day be desirable and unique enough that it'll outweigh the need to learn the fundamentals. She wants the easiest and comfiest way to get a career, but no career based in skill is ever that easy.
Every career needs adaptability. You don't get hired at a bakery because you're just good at making brownies, barely okay at cakes, and little understanding of how to make cookies, macarons, and everything else. You have to understand the basics and be able to adapt to whatever your employer wants, and to do that you need to understand the fundamentals to improve your mechanical skill.

>>834907As someone that annually sells at conventions, (another field she tries to get into) her behavior towards it really irks and blows me away as well. She pushes shit to the last minute and puts out years old dated art, doesn't have any cohesive collection of products and just throws random half-assed shit together, thinks people want to buy things with her OCs on it when they can go a few tables down and get cute merch of their favorite character, has so little products at her table that it looks empty and has no idea how to display said products in an appealing manner, and much more.
Granted some of these are common first time mistakes but, she makes no effort to see whats the proper way to go about things. She makes mistakes that I did when I was a teenager starting out for the first time. Being in the con scene is hard because it's so competitive but, it's almost garunteed that atleast one person will buy your shit. If she fixed things and did multiple cons a year, she would actually pull in good money. She constantly tries to sound like she's the aficionado for something she's either completely new to or has no real knowledge in.

I'd like to see Holly working 12 hours a day, getting only 10 bucks a a month, and talk about "well, if i just keep trying, i'll make it!"
i dont understand why she feels the need to be so condescending about everything, even topics she has NO idea about. Holly, focus on fixing your mess of a life before you lecture people on what they're doing wrong.

She thought it should go backward but knew it still wouldn't look right so she just broke it a little bit.

I’m not sure why she has this idea that someone needs to have “good boobs” or not be “fat” to be involved in this industry?

Undoubtedly she also put that she is proficient in programs that she's barely used, and is now struggling. Is she gonna eventually learn that there's a difference between noting your positive qualities for an employer and straight up lying about your "qualifications"? Remember a few threads back when she put on her website that she already had the degree when she was still in school lmao.
And the "I'm just getting out of a normal job". Wow. She's actually telling the truth for once. This graphic design job could offer her a lot in terms of getting her foot in the door of the industry, a somewhat decent wage, learning experience and other stuff, but of course she'll quit after less than a week. God forbid she puts a single ounce of effort into anything that she doesn't immediately find enjoyable and rewarding.

>>842834I can understand not enjoying a 9-5, but being self-employed almost always means working very long hours for a lower, less stable wage than being employed elsewhere.
It also has the added stress of being entirely responsible for your own income. If you're not a self-starter and not good at committing yourself, you're gonna have a bad time.
Being a freelancer still means a lot of interaction with other people- and working on their ideas- so I'm not sure how this is the solution.
It sounds like she's deeply unsatisfied and desperate. I feel bad for her, as milky as she can be, it sounds like she's struggling and really needs help to be better equipped to deal with adult life.

Holly, jobs – ANY jobs – want you to do something for them. I don't know what you're expecting, and it's not going to change if you want to do freelance.
She's admitted to hating drawing things for people. I totally imagine this company had "a way" of doing things, and she just shut them down entirely, saying things like "that's dumb and slow, I want to do it this way" and they said "no".
Even if it isn't the best way for them to do things, DO IT THEIR WAY. Once you've been there a while and prove that you know what you're doing, suggest an alternative. I just imagine she has the must brusque way of saying things that all she gets is pushback.
I have a manager friend (and we DON'T have an art job) who works a 9-5 and when he gets home he works on his art. It's not impossible, or even really

I dont really get why she keeps making these. Nobody wants them. She is wasting wood, time and money. Only Purgatory fans would buy those, but they are just a bunch of kids who only like her comic because they don’t understand how bad it is. And im pretty sure they wont buy it. She really has the chance to make something actually relevant with this goddamn laser and make some money but she just delusionally keeps making these
