Hey art nerds! This is a thread for everyone's favorite starving artist, Becca "All give and no take" Hilburn!

Becca Hillburn is an artist and art supply reviewer currently living in Nashville, TN with her living ATM/fiancee. She's behind the blog Nattosoup as well as her very own YT channel. Her primary claim to 'fame' used to be art supply reviews and field tests, but now she's most known for her bitterness and mediocrity. Egotistical and whiny to a fault, she'd rather sit back and play pretend art teacher to her 2-3 student workshops and sell 2 dollar prints at 12 cons a year than use her Masters to get an actual day job. Her primary personality trait is her two-facedness, presenting as a pleasant and helpful teacher upfront while harboring whiny resentment and bitterness beneath. She's also the artist behind '7" Kara' - an all-ages webcomic about Becca's ADHD self-insert ripping of The Borrowers and Thumbelina, rendered in muddy watercolors that she could totally do digitally. Becca shills the fuck out of this comic, going so far as to get physical copies printed for her to sell at cons and donate to lending libraries.

>Has been on YT for several years but even with her 'popular' blog cannot manage to break 10k subs. The vast majority of her videos hardly make it over 300 views.

>Nothing is ever her fault. Blames 'baby artists' and fans for depending on her too much without giving her anything in return (as in, not throwing money and love at her feet).
>Considers herself a watercolor expert despite her muddy, poorly-mixed colors and weak grasp on composition.
>SCAD alumni. Apparently didn't network enough to land an industry job out of school.
>Allegedly used to spend 7k a month on video editing - even though her videos are meandering, rambling, poorly shot messes.
>Obsessed art supply hoarder. Begs her fans to email art supply companies on her behalf to send her free shit then turns around to complain about having no room for any more.
>Goes on about her ADHD so far as to make an entire vlog series about how it sux to be hur guise.
>Actively resents her tiny pool of viewers and students, talking shit behind their back about how they don't support her enough.
>Made her obviously uninterested fiance 'interview' her at a cons… Just so she go on rants about how underappreciated and overworked she is.
>Has a hateboner for the online stationery retailer Jetpens.com (which she insists is an art supply store) because they refused to send her PR after she harassed them for it. Claims that she's single-handedly responsible for popularizing them, despite Jetpens being an established retailer before she started giving them 'free promo' at cons. She vagueblogs about them on a regular basis despite following their official social media accounts.

Thank you for making this thread!

Honestly I remember when she was first brought up in the salt thread and many people said she was nice, even if her art ain't perfect. But now it seems that was a total farce, and that her art's not only not that great but she's got an awful personality too.

I understand being frustrated about not getting recognition for what you do, but sometimes you gotta start to realise that what you're doing isn't working out, and that you should change gears and try something else instead of constantly pushing for doing the same thing and expecting success.

A sample of her 7 grand worth video editing. Minimal edits, just some background music and title cards and a transition every once in a while, barely any cuts. Poor composition (what is all that trash on the left of the frame), dull raw colors that could have been corrected for that price, muddy audio… and no thought put into making it more palatable to watch.

She does post three times a week but 7000$ a month? She was legitimately scammed.

I think her videos would be more watchable if she switched to voiceovers because she goes in long boring rambles and barely any part of her process can be sped up, she will also sometimes cover the mic and doesn't do retakes. People on Youtube, specially the kids she's aiming for, love quick and snappy editing on videos. Hers remind me of channels run by elders except without their ASMR factor, her voice is so loud.

She shits on her few supporters so much that I can't tell if she made the comic to get fans or to gather a hater following so she can be passive aggressive at specific people without being called a bitch.
Also, everything she draws and paints looks like it's from a low-budget 90s cartoon. Having a cohesive palette like >>895809 would help the muddiness, make the shit anatomy and questionable perspective less obvious, and would make the comic less painful to look at overall.

She HAD to be mispeaking when she said she paid 7k/month for editing. Maybe she meant 700 a month or 7k a year? Still way too much but more reasonable. Don't know what her fiance does for a living but I doubt his income is even that much a month.

This is what confuses me about her. How could you go to an art school for the 6 years it takes to get a Master's and not walk out with a single job contact. Not a one. It makes me wonder if her personality was so cantankerous that nobody wanted to work with her. She's 32 so if she went to university out of high school then she graduated around 4-5 years ago. I thought art universities were primarily used for collecting contacts and networking.

No. 895953

>>895938
Iirc she went to a louisianna state college for her bachelors in art. For her masters she went to SCAD, which is an actual art school with successful alumni, but also pretty much a diploma mill. They have pretty much no standards for art quality when they choose students to accept, all they care about is if they can pay tuition. They are not known for forcing students to learn intensively or even really gain a lot of skills, I know several artists who went there who are unemployed and have mediocre skills at best.

No. 895955

That's pretty much all art school is good for. If you manage to graduate without any job offers or contacts, you fucked up. I know people who dropped out halfway through and still left with multiple job offers.

I found out about her from her art marker showdown posts and her supply reviews. She seemed pretty chill, but apparently it was all just a farce.

When I was toying around with the idea of doing a comic, I looked to her for some resources, and I'm kinda glad I didn't go through with that.

No. 896011

>>896000
lol I found her through reviews of cons before she got involved with kiriska and how to be a con artist. She was super chill on her blog seemingly, but I think cuz she’s been doing cons for years and trying to get her mediocre comic off the ground with no payoff and now that social media is more integral to art, she really needs a therapist or some shit instead of spewing on social media how she feels entitled to success.

That being said, I just saw she’s planning to kickstart her book or something and I’m excited to see her eventual blowup cuz it won’t work out

No. 896048

Did Becca change her catchphrase? In the latest video she says "heeeey arty friends" instead of "HEY ART NERDS".

If this is what all her classes are like, then I can see why she averages at 3-4 students. Becca seems like such a dry, uncharismatic teacher, and this goes on for almost two hours. It's like she's giving a powerpoint presentation for a high school class she doesn't give a shit about. Looks like her class is a majority older people and retirees.

Lol, the majority of her comic examples are manga. Would it hurt her to be a bit less weebish?

No. 896755

>>896297
Thing is with Becca, her “style” is manga-ISH but it doesn’t look like she uses or reads actual manga cuz if she did then her comics would make a fuckton more sense or just be better in general. There’s so much GOOD manga out there now, not to mention the classics like Tezuka and Urasawa, that she can’t lean on the crutch that manga is so “mysterious” and unknown, like every weeb with an internet connection reads manga. Her style seems more lifted from someone vaguely remembering what sailor moon dubs from the 90’s looked like except they were going blind and hadn’t seen them since.

Im so tired of these basic ass white women artists trying to get on with styles obviously lifted from manga, Becca just does it badly. It occurred to me since I frequent the baylee jae thread that she and Becca are quite similar in style ways but Becca wishes so badly to have the audience that baylee has

Honestly, can someone even tell me what her comic is about? Like, I get that it's about tiny people living among normal humans but is there an actual overaching storyline? All I ever see Becca draw is her gape-mouthed self insert standing around doing nothing. Does 7" Kara actually have a plot? What about it is interesting? Also, why hasn't Becca realized that the teen to adult fanbase she's trying to capture wants nothing to do with her 10 and under comic?

No. 897191

Oh hey, this bitch! I met her at a few cons some years back. Her and I and a circle of friends did cons “full time”, as in we both made our livings off of it. Except she would rarely ever break even at cons and she would try to teach all of us how to “make it” as a con artist. I wasn’t raking in money like old school Amuria or anything, but even my circle of people did better then her. Her table ALWAYS seems empty. Her husband funds her trips and she never makes enough for profit, only breaking even if she’s really lucky and it’s a really local con.

People never bought her prints and shit, I only ever saw her getting money from penny dirt cheap commissions. She was always working on them from open to close and beyond because it was the only way she could make money. I remember she would put up reviews of cons saying they were shit and business was slow so it’s not worth going, but I was across the aisle from her and it was fine all weekend — her table was just a desert wasteland.

Then at the end of the cons she would always come around asking us blatantly how much we made, which is super rude. She would tell us that she runs the How to be a Con Artist thing and that if we needed tips to email her. But she never told us how much she made… and no one took her seriously.

Anyways Sage for blogpost but this girl is delusional to the nth degree

Oh god, she’s one of /those/ con people. I’ve seen too many like her in my own local con scene so I know exactly what you’re talking about. She’s very similar to a group of guys I know in town who make shit tier comics and get pissy when people don’t buy them at cons. Like they don’t get why it’s so unappealing to everyone but them. The only difference between them and Becca is that they have day jobs and none have a SO to take care of them financially.

Also, asking what people made while not disclosing your sales is such a tacky and cunty thing to do so I’m not surprised by this.

Becca strikes me as dated. She's like watching a teenager from 2002 trapped in a 2019 30 year old's body. I don't blame people for not approaching her table at cons, traditional art does not compete well with digital art if the art itself and the use of the medium is not very good and her ideas are dull looking, ie, she was selling dark wood charms a la Holly Brown when the teens and very young adults that make up most of convention attendance will gravitate towards acrylic, bright colors and things that pop. If you can't tell what something is until getting super close it's not a good sign. But of course as someone from a time capsule she's pretty bad at digital art too and sticks to default brushes and settings.

The (lack of) editing in her videos is also boomer tier, what can I say. There is a video of her doing a voiceover tutorial and mid way you can hear her talking to her SO loudly and voices overlap because she didn't even mute the visual track. Her attitude is that of a milennial though lmao.

I’ve been a clarinet player for years and have worked with oboe players, it bothers me a lot that the instrument is that small and thin cuz a real one isn’t that small unless it’s a soprano instrument. It would be wider and longer, especially if the person playing it is younger and of a smaller frame, so like could she even be bothered to gather reference of someone playing one?

I've been in the same webcomic-creator circles as Becca before and running a kickstarter for your comic is 100% a vanity thing. Most people have small audiences, but set the goal very low, think $500-$1000 dollars. Printing an indie comic in a small run isn't necessarily expensive at all, thanks to sites like Ka-Blam, so successful kickstarters for no-name comics are not an anomaly at all. Take something like this for example:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1691223860/heroic-shenanigans-volume-1
Of course, this is assuming she decides to be reasonable and set her goal to something low and realistic. She'll be out of her mind if she asks for more that $1000

If Becca really cared to be able to sell her art she should be able to look at actually successfull artists and study what makes their art attractive to the average consumer, you can't expect to sell the same amount of products as a pro while having super bland unappealing art like Becca, its just proof she doesn't really care about selling a good product but just wants the perks of being a popular artist while demanding people to buy her crap art, that KS will be a failure either way

Usually you'd say when the student becomes the master the old master did a pretty good job too. lol But in Becca's case. I can see why she's bitter and jealous about that but, honestly, that's stuff you only think in weak moments and should never announce publicly. And instead of shitting on other maybe think about oneself, what's the stuff she's doing wrong, what's Kasey doing different to her, etc. pp. But as we all know Becca's not capable of honestly judging herself and her public image.

I dont understand why she always has to mention that her comic is watercolor? I dont know if I've ever seen her mention her comic and not mention its medium. I've seen tons of watercolor comics, its not that unusual of a medium? And even if its not as typical as ink or digital, its probably one of the more conventional mediums still. Hell, i've seen experimental oil paint comics and other much more unconventional styles and they never use the medium as a selling point

I didn't realize how cheap her stuff actually was- and even then she barely sells many at cons. I wonder how even less she would sell if they were average priced.

No. 898795

If you go back in her blog far enough to the con reviews, she also does $1/$5 commissions too and that’s what mainly sells for her at non-craft faires, mostly cuz like she never has anything for anime cons (idr if she’s done comic cons) that people actually WANT. plus she tries to shill her comic at them when like, people who do anime cons have stepped up and surpassed her by a great deal. Like for real, her commissions look like what you’d pay $1/$5 for, but seriously like how low is her self-respect in that you’d work for below minimum wage.

Like, she also has the aura of someone who’s so scared and unsure of their own work that they become defensive with massive overconfidence even though she seriously lacks the skill and it feels like she thinks she doesn’t have to learn anymore cuz she has a masters. The opposite is true of actual, good pro artists like a ton are just super humble and also keep learning in addition to also being teachers. I’m also wondering if Becca doesn’t do cons as often anymore cuz there’s so much more younger people who are way better at everything

No. 899081

Oh wow, I briefly encountered Becca once on Google+ (which gives you some idea how long ago it was). The details are fuzzy after all this time but I recall she was complaining about how no one buys her comics at anime cons. I suggested, like, try comic book cons to sell your original comics, but she was adamant that she had to sell at anime cons b/c some editor reviewing her portfolio told her that her comic was "OEL" so she could only sell it at anime cons. (OEL was a dumb marketing term used by TokyoPop referencing American comics that were vaguely manga-ish - again this tells you how long ago this was.)

So yeah, doesn't sound like she's changed much! At the time I think she'd just finished SCAD & was funded by her mom; she seemed to think having the degree meant she should be automatically making a good living doing her comics. She seemed very naive and extremely stubborn about listening to advice.

>OEL was a dumb marketing term used by TokyoPop referencing American comics that were vaguely manga-ish - again this tells you how long ago this was.

This is hilarious because OEL was a term only really used by Tokyopop and I think Antarctic Press to pass off otherwise completely Western comics while still calling them 'manga'. It's kind of a death flag for comics. Even otherwise decent comics slapped with the OEL label went unsold just because weeaboo kids buying Tokyopop manga would pass it up in favor of 'authentic' titles. That editor sounds old and out of touch and Becca's dumb ass is stubbornly eating up that advice.

Becca keeps going to anime cons because they're more numerous and she's a weeaboo. She's just like Holly, consumed with wishful thinking, getting ego boosts off of seeing people buy their shitty merch.

>>905832
I don’t think you’re nitpicky because you’re right, her value hierarchy with figures is lacking, like if she does any value studies she clearly doesnt understand the importance of it especially with local colors. Like in that first panel, she understands darker things need to be in the foreground but the cat blends in with the figure of the girl, why does it have to be there and why can’t it be lighter if it’s farther back? The tiny girl sticks out in the last panel cuz of relative value but why is her hair blending in with the darkness? Why does she also change positions without explanation?

I also agree with >>905422 and this goes with the whole thing about value, like how dark the skin of the girl is is borderline offensive because she has no idea how to render black skin other than “dark”. Like the skin of someone with more melanin and pigments in it reflects the light a lot differently than it does white skin but the way she colors this girl is like if she’s never looked at a photo of a black person before. If she going to keep sticking to this style where she renders watercolor instead of doing something that suits her line work better like flat color washes, then she needs to learn how to render better and use colors correctly.

>>905857

Lol the thing is is that she DOES. If u look up any of her watercolor tutorials on her website, she does tape her work but she uses hardware store blue painters tape.

But she’s also just a shit painter

Honestly if she’s so adamant about “testing” art supplies (aka getting shit for free from jetpens cuz she’s an “educator”), she needs to try new tape like gummed paper tape or just a watercolor block cuz clearly her material choices are garbage and whoring yourself to companies who will give u free stuff isn’t working

She keeps doing small town anime cons too, for someone that’s an “expert” she should know that of course her shit won’t sell, original art rarely sells especially when it’s a kids comic cuz people who attend those are mostly teens to young adults who only tend to buy fan art from fandoms they like. She’s very quickly labeling herself as a bitter bitch to not associate with too, she’s digging her own grave cuz she’s from a small community and of course people will know this.

>>906345
What bugs me about that line in diversity is that like, if she goes to any con that isn’t her dinky podunk, 2k attendee or less cons then she’d see there’s already a bunch of diversity in AA’s. AA’s don’t need her to encourage diversity but she thinks she’s some sort of white knight innovator or something, she’s so delusional

Yeah a “superhero” con that’s super heavy in artist alley like emerald city up in Seattle is more than half women and nb artists.

Tbh I expect this kind of slow pace with someone who works a day job but other than “teacher”, which it does t sound like something she does more than occasionally, what the heck is she doing???

>>906896
She seems to think she’s god’s savior to weeb artists for some reason just by virtue of age?? Which she never ever was nor does she change her ways in the evolving media/marketing spheres. Like it sounded like when she did her masters in SCAD, they barely had a sequential department and she had to create a ton of her own curriculum, so she thinks she’s an innovator in that means but like, get real Becca you only had to do that cuz scad took your money but didn’t know shit, that’s how a for-profit art school does.

There are definitely plenty of other artists out there with better nuggets of wisdom than the entirety of what "knowledge" Becca has shared, who aren't even an ounce of how insufferable Becca is. It's like she wants to think the internet is as small and clueless as whatever tiny ass bumfuck town she lives in and that she's truly the weeb art messiah.

Part of me thinks she honestly doesn't care that much about art. How do you go about doing art for so long, even going to get a masters for it, and yet you still put out… this? She just wants the validation and the praise.

Seeing her only get to far and have to resort to making passive aggressive comments to her audience is like some sort of karmic justice lol. Becca has such a nasty fucking attitude, I'm glad she's stuck at the bottom of the barrel.

Her youTube videos are rather short and she doesn't edit them herself so there is not that much time spend. Although she does a lot of them.

I work with watercolour myself, and yes, they are time consuming because of drying time but still. I think it's quite easy to colour more than a double spread a day if she would switch between pages while they are drying. Also the size she's working on seems rather small and her stuff is far from beeing full of detail or challenging perspectives.

The first volume has 110 pages, let's say the second one does also. That's 18 pages a year the last six years or 1,5 pages a month. Even if she spends half a year or full year on working on story/ research and sketches, she's really, really slow.

“Look at me, I’m SO. SELFLESS. Look at all that I do for all of you ungrateful shits.”

Does Becca think there aren’t tons of other small arttubers who do the same thing as a passion project? With how much she constantly has to state that she’s taking her own precious time, resources, and knowledge to do it, the less and less it comes off as a passion project and the more it just screams “GIVE ME MONEY AND VALIDATION (BUT MOSTLY YOUR MONEY!)” Her and Holly feel like opposite ends of the spectrum to me.

She's 100% convinced her artwork is great and it's the audience's fault for not recognizing that, and she's also convinced that she knows exactly how to market her work, despite all evidence to the contrary. She is like Teflon, and reality is but a small amount of cooking oil that will easily slide off of her.

Biggest example is the comic artist yuko ota, who wrote a book/drew a comic about the nerve damage in her arms and learning to draw with her non dominant hand (she’s a similar age to Becca just more prolific and well known).

If her grip is causing her pain and damage, she should see a doctor instead of whining on the internet but she lives in America in a shit part of the US where there isn’t good poor people insurance so I’m willing to bet she either doesn’t have it or her fiancé has shit tier.

I noticed that many american / canadian artists (at least those doing YT artentainment who went to for profit diploma mills) have bad grip and issues with joints. Which is super weird to me, because if you go to traditional art school in Europe they make sure the arists have proper grip simply to avoid issues like it. I've heard that a very talented girl didn't get accepted, because the teachers saw her bad grip and posture during exams and told her to come back when she got it right. I had to take an art course for credit and the teacher from that art university made us effing stretch before and after 3 hrs long lesson. I kinda appreciate it now.

Looking at how Becca draws, my fingers curls on sympathy pain.

No. 908235

>>908089
It’s a NA thing but with Canadians, they have universal healthcare so everything is covered cost wise but usually it takes months or so to see a specialists and sometimes I think someone like a physical therapist or masseuse are not covered by their universal care. It’s still better than Americans, we’re basically kind of fucked for preventative shit so getting treatment is hard, especially on a freelancer/poor person’s income and if you aren’t on healthcare plan through a parent (provided you aren’t over 26) or through a spouse or you did service in the military (through the VA).

But yeah, it might have changed slightly since I went to school, but most art schools don’t do anything that involves stretching or taking care of yourself. I don’t know if it’s a fully American thing, but there’s also a point of pride for lots of people to continue working their bodies past the point of pain, like if you listen to any stories about the animators on the first toy story a lot of them recall breaking their bodies to finish it. And fundamental classes definitely don’t stress the importance of grip, I just remember like they taught us cursive writing more in elementary school rather than something useful like how to hold a pencil correctly. I’m hoping with more awareness now especially online that there’s more of a movement to not mess up your body for art but who knows.

She’s definitely gripping too hard but she’s just like a baylee Jae where she doesn’t do shit to make her life better even though she has the means to. Like it’s pretty easy to recognIze you grip too hard if you develop pressure calluses and doing steps to prevent it like wrapping styluses in foam or learning to draw lightly. But just like her, Becca is stubborn and will not do anything to solve that

No. 908237

She’s bullshitting herself if she thinks that’s a good comic technique. Like if you want your characters to wear so much stuff, then make an art book or supplement for it?

No. 909233

Yeah, but instead of recognising that this holds her back and working on it, she makes passive aggressive videos about how much she suffers from ADHD and demands money and praise for shitting out a comic page every so often.

There’s a lot of coping mechanisms you can learn when you have ADHD so you can function, like from experience it’s a struggle but it’s very common enough now especially in art twitter to find the resources you need. But like, if you need more help then like go see your doctors for reals?

She probably “babies” her pages so much like a traditional illustrator does instead of realizing that you can’t do that as an artist because of time. Like there’s so many ways you can make a watercolor comic page fast with shortcuts or make a page look like a watercolor in other ways, but she’s so set in her way is the “right” way that she’s too thick to realize she needs to speed up if she wants to tell her story or sell a book in any capacity. It makes me realize she probably has never worked freelance or worked with a very strict turnaround schedule for another person or a director before? Like she’d know better if she was working for someone else, she even takes her cheap ass con commissions home when she doesn’t finish and she only asks like 1$-5$ on those

That's not as "glamorous" as being a convention artist, I guess.

What DOES she want? Like, does she expect her youtube channel to take off any day now? Does she expect people to send her money for literally no reason? Does she think being a con artist is actually a sustainable income? I don't really understand her goals.

Comics/webcomics actually did some kind of streaming con in 2014 started by Danielle Corsetto of Girls with Slingshots called ComfyCon where webcomics people had panels and held sales in their online stores for it. Iirc it was moderately successful because people actually READ the comics the creators were from and they had reach on social media. Becca went into this cuz she had a grudge against mechacon, she was too slow for FCFS and couldn’t beg enough to be put on the waitlist, and didn’t have an online store or a good streaming setup

Becca making her own streaming con and going to the lengths of setting her fuckin table up is just too funny and her expectations that people who would go to mechacon would see her LOL. She acts as though she’s the draw for these people when it’s like, you’re kidding nothing but yourself Becca

If Becca wasn't so insufferable I might actually feel a bit bad for her after reading this entry.

I can't believe she actually thinks she has an audience though. I figured most of the people who would stop by her table at cons only knew her for her 'how to be a con artist' shit and not actually for her art, or were random passerbys with an impulsive shopping habit and saw cheap commissions available.

She mentions fleeting popularity, but what popularity has she ever enjoyed? And yet despite realizing that cons cannot be depended on as an actual source of income, she refuses to get an actual job (art related or otherwise). I know the post is 2 years old, but still. She also only got 2 commissions during a 6 hour stream. Did she take 3 hours per commission or just stare blankly at the camera for most of the time?

And her complaint of no editors walking around- they are there Becca, they’re just not approaching you.

No. 911054

I have a theory that part of the reason Becca is so delutional is that 10 years ago when she was new to the con scene her competition was much more basic and on her level and now she just sees her own improvement in tunnel vision and doesn't seem to realize how far ahead of her people ten years younger than her are. She just blames it on 'kid lit' not being popular (which, it isn't at anime conventions.) but she hasn't improved in years.

Honestly though if she just switched to digital with line art instead of her hideous water color she would save time and sell more. Although I would also suggest she let go of Kara and start something completely different.

After a while I thought it was funny to listen to elevator music in place of her terribly grating voice lol. There’s also blurs that appear way too early and some that don’t even appear to cover other faces at all, like wow, $7000 a month for these edits? Yikes. Also around the 27:30 mark she talks about how she wishes the editors were given something to more easily identify them otherwise she “would try to sell to them the same way she would sell to anybody else” but does it really make a difference?

SPX usually has a ton of good comic creators from a bunch of different genres, I’m honestly surprised she managed to get a table there since it’s a lottery based con and she’s surrounded by much better children’s comics artists like Raina telgemier. But compulsive overspending (and compulsions in general) is a part of ADHD so of course she’s shifting the management of the problem to him rather than treating herself aka the actual problem

I agree, that sort of style is universally cute to both kids and adults and has way more character. Her "manga-inspired" semi-realistic style is ugly and kinda uncanny. It's like the kind of art former weebs who learned to draw from anime make when they're trying to to learn realism, except they usually advance past that awkward in-between phase pretty quickly while Becca has been stuck there for over a decade.

I think I was more surprised she left whatever Midwest area town she lives in to do a con rather than the lottery but she’s done stuff like TCAF before (and mentioned the fishy things you have to do to bypass customs). She doesn’t do the con circuits and even then, only does small ass anime cons. Though not surprised nothing came out of SPX, her style is very similar to popular manga-like artists who do mainly kids stuff like faith Erin Hicks, so at a con like SPX there’s lots of publishers networking for many kids and YA comics, but her technique and inconsistency is really killing her.

Begga has an almost borderline level of 'I hate you, don't leave me' with her audience. She's obviously resentful of her wimpy audience and what they won't do for her but she's so insecure and delusional about her work. Nobody wants this ugly comic she's devoted her life to pumping out at a snail's pace. No one cares for her twitchy CWC-style rants about how she's so beleagured and overworked. Her brokeness is her own damn fault. Nobody looks at Begga "baby artists need me" Hillburn and sees someone worth supporting, and her numbers reflect that. Most of these 'baby artists' she talks about helping so much are more into people who actually do shit, like Jazza.

It's rather about how the broom goes through the skirt in the front and skirt not folding under the broom. The width of front fold is rather small, so it would ride up a bit and fold inwards along the broom stick.

Like she has a vague understanding of draping in your first edit anon, but it’s very “I looked at sailor moon once and now I can draw folds” because that dress would be shorter in the front and lower in the back with where her edges are. Your edit is much better cuz it suggest the skirt is a full circle with the bunching in the front, but the whole outfit is like etc especially with a giant bow obscuring part of her face

There's nothing inherently wrong about doing a comic in pencil with watercolor in the style Becca does it. The problem isn't the medium, it's that Becca is just really bad with watercolors.

Since we’re also going down the watercolor comic hole here, Becca’s other weakness out of many is being stuck in the “I saw an anime once in the nineties” style she insists upon.

Yeah I didn't want to sound nitpicky but I thought the same exact thing. It shouldn't take her 5 minutes to do shit like this considering how long she's been drawing/studied drawing for. Pic related is just one I pulled from google but this artist does in 30 seconds what Becca barely accomplished in 5 minutes.

No. 918914

>>918911 Yeah becca cares more about adding "anatomy" and all those tiny details rather than capturing the form of the pose and movement, that's why all of her art and studies look so stiff, she cares more about wasting hours and hours rendering (badly) rather than focus on her drawings.

No. 918918

>>918914
And the anatomy is not even correct, that’s the big thing. Like why is the back leg of that jumping one bigger than the front and why is there so much space between whatever she thinks the rib cage is and the pelvis? She uses senshistock for these, which is a perfectly fine reference model source, but because all the models on there wear bathing suits, you don’t see the musculature you need if you’re gonna use it for studies. Also how convenient is it that the last pose on the right looks like every other standing figure with mismatched legs that she draws 90% of the time?

No. 918926

>>918914
Becca is definitely one of those artists who thinks the more sketchy lines and unnecessary details you add, the more ~artistic~ the sketch looks.

Also I haven't seen the reference pic but the boobs on the jumping girl seem way too low set for a pose with the back arched/chest out.

I watched the video so you don't have to
She didn't know oil paint needed turpentine to use and complains that she can't swatch the oils because not even walmart has turpentine (they do)
the video is 20 minutes of overview, 20 minutes of swatching, then 20 minutes repeating what she said in the swatching.

If you're going to review these art kits at all a better way would be to have a 5 minute video showing artwork using the supplies, already made off screen not in real time… and then just say the pros and cons and prices of each and bottom line which you'd recommend to buy.

>>918926
I can’t find the specific pose (she said she was using the pose timer and it probably pulls some poses senshistock only puts in her paid packs) but I’m pretty certain it’s from one of the jumping packs like this one so Becca doesn’t know anatomy well enough to actually put them on the pose. I actually thought in her drawing, the bottom of the ribcage she drew was actually the boobs. The bodysuit obscures the anatomy but someone who actually knows anatomy could still make a fluid figure and not the scary skeleton monsters Becca makes up

Becca’s nonexistent editing has been spoken of to death but FUCK. Pretty soon after the whispering she also says “just cut it” like cut the video but left it in… this isn’t complicated editing. She literally does the bare minimum of drag and dropping shit into the timeline. She can’t even be bothered to slightly cut the end of the clip off. Does she even watch her videos back? Probably not. She’s definitely quantity over quality, watering down what tiny bit of quality she already doesn’t have down to nothing.

Did she pay $7000 a month for editing because she’s too technologically stunted or what?? Kids who start out making terrible videos for shit and giggles can even cut these things out.

She’s so fucking out of touch with art and comics that it’s embarrassing. We literally posted about Jill Thompson up higher in the thread with Beasts of Burden, she and like Colleen Doran and Nicola Scott have been in comics since the nineties. And western “big-two” type comics are of course predominately male, BUT if you look at indie and children’s comics, then the market is half of not mostly female? Manga, webtoon, children’s books, like the inherent perceived misogyny she has of an industry she’s not even a part of is an excuse. Like go fuckin sperg on cape comics but she’s stupid cuz that’s not a type of comic she wants to do. Artists like Raina Telgemier have been on the NYT bestsellers list bigger than cape comics and she does kids comics.

You just have to have GOOD art. And also checking out who she follows on social media, they’re all prominent industry artists and mostly female. Like this isn’t an excuse anymore, there’s been women in various illustration industries for years.

It's really such a shame, because the illustration could actually be decent with some good colors. Normally you see amateurs draw polished turds but becca has flipped even that on it's head. Not only are the values totally screwed but she has no knowledge on color theory either, like how hard would it be to do a little bit of research?

Art like this makes me think Becca art is hindered with her using watercolors. Dont get me wrong it's all still flawed with or without but it seems like she doesn't have the foresight needed to use a medium like watercolor which takes some more meticulous planning than for something like digital art on a tablet where you can erase and easily change things if needed to.
It's still all flawed fundamentally though and the first real improvements should be made there regarding things like composition, proportion and basic color theory.

No. 925772

She pillow shades and it kills me.
And of course her lack of knowledge with values doesn't help this. Her darkest dark is just the dark red on the belt/tassels and hair bow, but that's it. It's not even that dark or in the right places, assuming the light source is coming from the top or upper righthand side.

Her work could look slightly better if she did something as simple as adding thin lineart in black or brown ink to separate the mud puddles of color. Not full hard lines.
Just something to help reinforce the forms and give more of a sense of depth. But as >>925769 says, she seems to lack the foresight to experiment and think about her work this way.

Honestly she's such a paradox, it seems. On the one hand, she's saying how good she is for making tutorials and art supply reviews, but at the same time complains and complains about not being famous and not being recognised.
In her discord, she was saying how it's not wrong to expect returns from what she's done, like commissions or comics. She was saying how if she puts energy into it, it's fine to expect something back. When the reality is that online art, webcomics, and youtube are usually fruitless endeavours. Not many people go into these fields expecting a direct return monetarily or popularity wise. People make youtube content or webcomics because they want to, and maybe sure they might have the idea that they want to be noticed some day, but for the most part it's incredibly disheartening to expect it.

Anyway that was a blogpost. Becca needs to learn how to enjoy art as opposed to thinking of it as a money maker. Maybe then she'll start to improve.

Im on her server and she has a tendency to make everything anyone says about herself. It's quite annoying.

In the vent channel, someone will vent and she will say "Oh, I know how that feels, when I was working on Kara.."

You can tell how bitter she is. If she was sincere she would have way more connections in the art world, but just like Holly, she likes looking down on people and thinks she deserves better.

Holy shit what a cunt! I have never seen someone so condescending before and how dare she get all pissy at a question and then in the same breath talks down to the other person just because they're a student. Becca was a huge fucking cunt here and her status as a "professional" means nothing when her fucking life project of a comic is in every aspect a massive failure.

Becca reminds me of the 20-30 year olds who've never had power in their lives so when they finally become an adult, they become a total cunt towards anyone younger than them; demanding respect while talking down at them and if they dare to speak up to you, you get the "You'll understand when you're older" excuse. Everything about becca just reeks of that and it's one of the personality types I hate the most.

Noel should've also stood up to herself and called becca out for that but I can understand why she would not. I hope the next time she does though. Gosh I almost wanna burst into the server and call her out myself, getting really tired of this shit.

Cowtipping aside, this is pretty pointless. I'd be very, very surprised if this made even a tiny dent in Becca's impermeable ego. Like, a lot of the cows here put up a big front and act egotistical but it's just to cover up their insecurity. That isn't Becca. She is incapable of finding fault in herself and if someone else points out one of her faults it falls on completely deaf ears. She'll pick out one tiny phrase in your message to her and twist it into proof that you're jealous of all her accomplishments, or something like that. Or hell, she could twist the whole thing so you're actually praising her! She's literally delusional.

Sage for rambling but Becca overestimates herself too much and thinks it's everyone's fault she is not a popular shoujo mangaka with a ghibli movie based on kara right now, she thinks she works hard but she actually just produces garbage and expects people to buy it and appreciate it, she can try and blame it on sexism or mean editors who ignore her "potential" but at the end of the day the blame is all on her, her shitty attitude, crappy art, and poor story telling skills. And no matter how much she screams and yells into the void it won't change her reality of being a failure as an artist. Hell in a sense she even reminds me of dobson.

Yeah, she always draws feet like that on her figures so there’s no plane definition so the legs are different lengths. And the rabbit in the foreground is smaller than ones in the background, so her sense of scale is still off as well, like if she is supposed to be small then why is everything similar sized? If she knew what a horizon line was then it’d help the image but since she’s always right and never wrong, then it’s OUR fault for her image is incorrect.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she has a personality disorder on top of the adhd, she’s a complete narcissist to the point where she can’t see any of her flaws and she’s so used to being the only artist teacher in her area and head that any critique is an attack on her.

Yeah she has an MFA from SCAD I think in sequentials and comic books but there wasn’t an established program for it then (like ten plus years ago I think?) so it basically was a self-directed degree for a “masters”. Plus masters in fine arts degrees are basically just portfolio building classes, she could have also gotten her teaching credentials while doing it but I think she was so jet set on being this fantasy of a children’s book comic artist that she didn’t know you need money to eat.

Bullshit. Even if it is different settings, you can still compare them with value contrast especially because there’s no lighting other than ambient lighting.

The first one is better because the overall lightness of the watercolors helps the art out a lot even though the colors are roughly all the same and the shadows especially on the first panel are the same colors as the trees. The line work works with the watercolor better. The second one is intelligible with saturation and value contrast, if it’s a different setting then make like the last panel more obvious that it’s different, right now the house is blending into the background of like an alleyway or something? You can’t even tell. Plus the lighting makes no sense, if the figures at the bottom have shadows underneath them, then why do the shadows on the bucket and round things going to the left? Why doesn’t the house also have a cast shadow that strong and why doesn’t the clothesline and the stuff on it cast shadows? It benefits the first one that there isn’t strong lighting or she tried to do fancy shadows cuz the line work is still more solid

If you really zoom in on the image, in the thumbnails for each layer you can see little bits and pieces from all over the drawing. Hard to discern exactly what each one is, but it looks like every single element has its own layer (for example I think layer 24 is the 3 large leaves behind her head).

I'd bet the group is probably the low-opacity sketch you can slightly see under the current sketch, wouldn't surprise me if every limb had its own layer.

Jesus this, her editing and how she couldn't figure out how to screen record on her phone makes me think Becca is on a boomer level when it comes to computers.

She's only in her 30s and she's had the same access to those resources kids have herself for years now.

Makes me think she had too much pride to look up any tutorials and she fell off technology. Not good when she's trying to make a living from doing art online.

Because she puts in so much “work” into her art that she feels like she’s OWED fame and popularity and that people who have it don’t work as hard as she does, so it’s everyone else’s fault that her book hasn’t been picked up and she isn’t making money off of it. She’s delusional, of course, cuz she only compares herself to accomplished people like Miyazaki and makoto shinkai and thinks she’s at that caliber of artist when she doesn’t actually compare herself to peers or have any knowledge of the industry she wants to go into. It’s everyone ELSE’s fault except hers, which is why she keeps blaming external factors like not doing well at shows or sexism or people not appreciating original art when the fact of the matter is, she has no idea her art is bad and forgettable, which is also why nobody really talks about her other than here cuz it isn’t worth anything in the end. It doesn’t say anything but she thinks she’s the most brilliant comics artist ever cuz she has degrees and teaches

I think she puts every separate element on a layer but she doesn’t do anything like colored line art or digital coloring so there’s no real need to have separation like that. She’s too precious with preserving her sketches, especially like her keeping the blue lines on her commissions, which is ironic cuz when she paints over it, she completely washes out any sense of line art or sketch cuz she’s so bad with color and mixing

The scale is so off in both of these drawings too, like the lack of perspective and proportion, she has no idea how to show that Kara is small like why are the girls almost the same size in the first picture and why are they sitting so far away if she is in the foreground? Or why doesn’t she depict her with things that make her look smaller, why are all their tools and clothes still normal sized looking? It’s like she wants to be SO different to Arrietty/the borrowers that she hampers any visual storytelling she can do

No. 932727

Wow, I was trying to figure out where I knew this girl from and I realized how.
First, some of these artists she is fighting with are my friends.
Second, back when she first made the "how to be a con artist" blog I used it all the time. I was 17 and couldn't work a normal job due to a health issue so cons/art commissions were my only income. I remember messaging her asking for advice and she told me my art style was unappealing and I should probably rework it. That killed my self-esteem at 17. I also really opened up to her about my families bad financial situation and my health issues and how I probably couldnt go to college and she told me to reconsider everything and maybe go into customer service. She is giving damaging advice to kids if its still advice like this if I took her advice I don't know what I would be doing, but I never went to college and I'm working as an artist in the animation industry. I do think she tries to bring people down she feels threatened by. I'm 6 years younger than her, I think, I couldn't imagine what she is saying to people even younger than me.

Same Anon that posted about her giving me terrible advice at 17. Pic related because that is my art from when I was 16/17 when we were talking. So not that great but yeah lol I was a junior in high school ffs.

The advice she gave me just pissed me off so much, I never really thought of her after that till I saw this thread. She needs to stop hosting workshops for kids. Thank you everyone for agreeing with me hahaha, I was really nervous posting that reply. I don't really have a public art presence anymore just because I'm shy.

If she wasn’t a huge entitled bitch about everything and feeling “owed” success and publicity, then yeah this thread would be a bit mean cuz her work is boring, weak, and not notable. But this thread and what started out on the salt threads came because she tried to start a fight with jet pens on twitter cuz she thinks she’s entitled to them because she claims she brought them their audience. She’s a cow cuz she’s delusional and has no idea how her industry should work, like she blames sexism for the non-success of her comic when like nearly all of the comics on the NYT bestsellers list are all kid comics, and she’s clearly spiteful and jealous of other artists despite “knowing” more cuz she paid for a “masters” from SCAD.

I’m pretty sure she knows of the thread by now cuz she’s said like at least we’re not doxxing her, which apart from the one anon who wanted to white knight and stuff to make her know she’s a bitch, but mostly her hubris and stuck up-ness about being all-knowing is what keeps her from learning from this and other artists in general

I think she's fascinating to watch and that she's earned this thread. It's her reward for all of her hard work.

I'd been following How to Be a Con Artist and reading her materials reviews for years, but I never knew she was like this up until perhaps a few months ago when I compared her tone of writing to Kriska's in one of the Artist Salt threads. It was one of those "I thought it was only me" moments, so it's good to know that it wasn't. I noticed her tone when reading the merch articles, but I noticed it even more on her Natto Soup blog when I was in the process of learning about using watercolors in my work and searching for tool reviews. Even though I was learning, it was clear, in a lot of her reviews, she didn't know what she was doing but wouldn't admit this despite being an "expert."

It would be one thing if she were some eccentric watercolorist with an inflated ego but largely harmless. But if she were that, she'd likely have a real following.

Instead, she makes a strong effort to reach out to children and I feel as if this wasn't the case years ago. She went from 'all ages' to 'young artists/kids.' She's the epitome of >>932989


>>932870
No wonder she felt threatened. She clearly had an eye for potential, but where it could have made her into a good art teacher, she chose to try and weaponize it. I'm glad you didn't take her """advice""".

She has no idea about color or about layering watercolors, like she uses visual shorthand’s without understanding them so she thinks you can fake dark, non-white skin when it’s not that easy. Example like in this copic tutorial, you can see all the layers he puts to recreate dark skintones because skin tends to be more luminous than like a hard surface, which is easier to fake on lighter skin cuz you can see the blood through it more. But Becca goes straight to dark and has no consideration for the transparent nature of watercolors, like her approach on dark skin is dangerously close to being a racial stereotype than it being an actual human coloring

yeah tiny people in a large world are not super original, she even blurbs The Borrowers in her description of Kara, but she doesn’t know anything about character design even though she has “character design” in her portfolio.

I honestly think she hasn’t written anything about Kara other than like what her initial story is, like if you’re gonna invest so much into this then why wouldn’t you think this out more?

It's not just the premise. It's also her lack of solid worldbuilding that works against her big time.
Everything that makes up the world Kara lives in, is regurgitated from some other story. The name of her little people (personally I think 'lilliputian' as a word is ugly, clunky, and outdated), the way they interact with the humans,, the lack of information on their background… I mean it's fine to take inspiration from other things, but you still have to add your own ideas and concepts in between to tie it all together, which Becca has not done.
It doesn't feel like a real, live, breathing world of little people exist in Kara's world. Kara and family just feel like more human characters that just happen to be small.

I've been reading this thread for awhile and just came to the realization that if she went to SCAD as a graduate she should have be able to have had access to work closely with professors. The illustration department and seqa departments have always been closely linked.

Daniel Powers in the illu dept is specifically a watercolor children's book illustrator and there is no possible way she could have not gotten (or at least been recommended) guidance from him, and yet here we are.

It's possible she was one of the "lost cause" students that spent more time arguing than anything, so they let her through with the lowest possible grade because she was a cash cow and was probably a great example of what NOT to do, if nothing else. No point in wasting time and energy on someone who refuses to learn.

I had a classmate like that when I was in art school (if you could call it that, AI is garbage). I had a pretty competent teacher for an illustration class that gave a student a D because he was tired of seeing her repeat his classes and wanted to be rid of her. I honestly couldn’t blame him because she was delusional about her skill level and pretty obnoxious about insisting on turning in animu trash.

I’d hate to have been stuck in courses with Becca, I bet her classmates have horror stories.

She went to SCAD and got her masters in the sequential art program and showed some of her work in this blogpost https://nattosoup.blogspot.com/2011/09/year-at-savannah-college-of-art-and.html , which is all ink and pencils so do both branches overlap? Like the school I went to had comics as a class you could take in the illustration major but everyone took illustration core classes which included one where we had to work in watercolor.

She has waxed poetic so much about going to art school for her masters and like reading this post https://nattosoup.blogspot.com/2013/02/things-ive-learned-from-art-school.html vs comparing her work now, it’s like do you even take your own advice?

>>934580
Lol I went to a school that basically was “pay for a degree” and there was a ton of different people at different art levels, like the only way you could fail out of a class was to not do the assignments but you’re an asshole to yourself since you’re paying so much money for school why aren’t you doing it? But yeah Becca reminds me of just those average students who do the assignments to pass but don’t know what the current art landscape of the industry she wants to be in looks like. And since she was in a masters program too, I wonder if there wasn’t a lot of emphasis on foundations since you’re expected to have known them

What's the point of copying another story this closely like this? It's reinventing the wheel, especially since Becca's story has nothing new to add or say. It's not like she's subverting, commenting on, or parodying Arrietty in any way– it's just the same story with the characters renamed.

This is why it's important not to get married to one idea if you're an illustrator– your screwed if the idea is crap. It's better to have several concepts on the back burner.

Also this is slightly related, but fellow art school anons does it also irritate you when people refer to teachers/instructors at art schools as “professors”? Like they don’t have professorships or PhD’s like at actual universities, they’re usually just older working artists (heck some didn’t even work in an industry after a while). it’s like the sign of those pretentious dumbass people at school like Becca who have no idea how art works

>fellow art school anons does it also irritate you when people refer to teachers/instructors at art schools as “professors”?

Why would it? It's tradition in art academic circles showing respect to your teachers. IMO stickling to their trade/academics titles is more ridiculous and pointless in art world- are you calling someone who only has MA level education a Master? Then PhD a Doctor? Maybe your teacher's assistant is a Bachelor? "Bachelor Anderson, could you pass this to Master Smith, please?"

It's changing only recently because of generally laxer societal rules in adressing people and what is respectable way to do it. Doesn't matter in the long run. 40 years ago calling your teacher by their name just because they are older working artists would be unacceptable. They are not "just" that, which is why they teach.

It's a you issue if you percieve it as pretentious, not Becca's.

She makes up anatomy because she doesn’t know it well and won’t learn things like muscles at all for some reason ( you can super tell because she always leaves out the trapezius and all the muscles that connect the head to the torso and just connects bones to where she thinks the collarbones are). And she teaches “volumetric” drawing but also has no idea how 3D shapes lay on top of each other, like the arm in the front that’s bent is very flat even though she drew tubes as arms. I think she does it cuz she has a preconception on how you “should” do a drawing when really, she needs something like this to be a thumbnail, supplemented by reference and more study (since there’s a lot of things that are also off about this drawing)

It's like….somewhere between sketching and lining, she starts to not see the figure as a whole, but as separate lines and shapes, kind of like how each line and shape gets a different layer when she does digital art.
It's ironic because usually the foundation of a drawing is constructed with basic shapes and lines, then built up to a cohesive figure as the drawing progresses.

Her process is so backwards, but she's such a 'real artist' and 'professional'.

Many artists (especially ones with ADHD, I speak as one myself) tend to get obsessed with something and hyperfocus on it, sometimes for years. So it's very possible that's all it is. That's also tinfoil, but also likely.
It's also possible she kind of forced herself to latch onto "the little people" as a gimmick and pushes being "family friendly" so hard because she it's her "brand" and she wants to fit herself in that crowd. It feels like she thought she was going to post Kara online and take over the art world by storm with this unique, clever, and intriguing comic in beautiful watercolor.

Faber Castell has a link on their page about what their brand ambassadors do https://www.fabercastell.com/pages/faber-castell%c2%ae-usa-brand-ambassador-program which yeah that’s clearly what it is. I can’t help but think she was trying to shake them for more free stuff but also is too stuck on being a watercolor artist to try pencils so just blames the company for that instead of her own choices.

I used to do really basic video editing as a kid and it absolutely blows my fucking mind how she or her supposed video editor makes the mistakes that they do. Her types of videos don't need a dedicated video editor because they aren't complicated to edit and she's not on a rigorous video uploading schedule. It's literally just cutting out excess fluff (because she goes on and on and on and repeats shit that can be taken out to simplify whatever she's explaining) and making sure there's no issues with audio overlapping/cutting out too soon/missing (which is a very frequent issue in her videos). If she took the time to watch back her video even once she would be able to see all of these issues, but all she wants to do is immediately get them up and onto youtube for those sweet, sweet pennies (or maybe even none at all since her channel has been marked for kid's content). She's definitely a quantity over quality type of person and it shows not only in her videos but in all of her art too.

If shes highballed that number to gain sympathy, she just looks like a fucking idiot instead. It's literally the equivalent of walking into a store, handing over thousands of dollars, and getting a product that is clearly fucked up or broken. Even if she made a mistake and meant to say $700, $70, even $7!! she still looks like a fucking idiot for paying any money to anyone for the final product that they give her.

Bert actually has a pretty decent income IIRC? but definitely not enough to pay an editor 7k a month for any extended period of time. Especially considering that the editing has always been super basic and full of mistakes.

This “motion comic” is just so piss poor in its execution that I can see her sinking a ton of money on inexperienced people who are just barely fluent in Adobe After Effects. But it’s not like they were starting with solid work to begin with. What annoyed me the most besides the pacing was the obvious photoshopped out pencil silhouettes of the characters in each frame.

How has she read about tigers, yet doesn't know what the common house cat is? Why did she ask "what's a pancake"? If she really didn't know what they were, she'd think it's just a name and not realize it's a food.

The problem is that there is nothing about her art or channel that is appealing to children. If you look at any popular channel that is pushed for kids, it's very easy to tell why it's so successful with that demographic - art style, music, colors, etc all designed with what appeals to children in a certain age range watching youtube. Nothing about Begga's rambling, disorganized, self-important bullshit and hideous kind
-of-anime-but-not-really style appeals to anyone, but least of all kids. If she bothered to do any research at all to figure out how to have a more successful online presence she'd realize this, but despite being 30 she still thinks she's just entitled to views and money and that the success fairy is gonna show up any day now with the audience she deserves.

why would she think anyone cares about a mechanical pencil….the only use it has in art is to sketch and maybe do full blown pieces but even then thats only people who want a challenge because most traditional artists use pencils that give them a variety of textures, like graphite sticks or charcoal. and even THEN its all dependent of the lead itself. what, is she gonna do reviews on different brands of printer paper next?

here's the thing these arent 'styles' the three non-chibi heads are the top are basically identical with SLIGHT and honestly negligible differences (i.e. if those all showed up in a comic no one would say it's off model) the only difference in the chibi style is how the iris is drawn. There's the other one that could still be the same style bust just from a more detailed scene.

I just checked her twitter and she just now posted a multi tweet sperg about her shitty cell coverage but she refuses to change providers.

It’s been slow for her recently but with social isolation and self quarantines, she might be out of work since people have been told to avoid crowds (though I don’t know the situation in TN).

>>947130
This is a stupid exercise cuz it isn’t “style”, it’s just different kinds of eye shapes and proportions. She already HAS a style and if she actually took the time to learn anatomy and her basics instead of whatever it is she does now, cuz it’s clearly not working, her style would be ok. But I think if she was clearly looking for clout, she’d be more in tune with what brings you clout in art spaces like IG and Twitter, she more is like stuck in the 90’s vision of being “the first American mangaka” cuz she still thinks she’s anime senpai

But she also strikes me as a person who has never had her portfolio reviewed seriously by other artists or like at all. It doesn’t seem like she makes any effort to get better by making friends in the art world, like the groups she was in like Ink Drop Cafe have disbanded and she doesn’t participate in like the artist alley international group on fb despite running that AA tumblr with kiriska on tumblr. And she doesn’t go out and shop her book or portfolios to known comics publishers, like she is still in the idea that kids comics/manga is impossible so she’s THE senpai of it

Yeah the one thing I think she doesn’t understand is that a lot of the things about the art world depend on networking and peer review, like you want other people to buy your book/pitch of course.

She’s also pretty out of touch with what her industry (children’s books/comics) and the art industry wants, it would benefit her a lot if she went to a children’s book convention or a art one like lightbox expo and just LISTENED and got her art reviewed but she’s too narcissistic and fixed in this role that she’s the only art senpai doing this that shes really just hurting herself

No. 957762

yeah I think her massive overconfidence actually is masking her actual non-confidence in her work, like she’s posturing at being a senpai and her watercolor being so speshul when hopefully deep down she knows her work isn’t good enough and she’s too afraid to leave her comfort zone to actually learn how to get what she wants out of it. Like it was on the other art thread I think where someone posted a tutorial from a Japanese artist that explained as like you gain more confidence in your work, your line work becomes more confident and fluid and beginner artists usually have choppy line work. Becca is the epitome of under confidence since she uses so many layers for really no reason and is afraid to erase. If she had more she should be shopping her book out to publishers and agents or working freelance like many artists. It seems like she only has plans for a kickstarter which is massively gonna fail and I can’t wait

The cover image she chose doesn't display the title properly (look at the tangents the title has with the window) and you can barely read the tagline. Also that description makes 0 sense. How is this girl a "writer" of a story when she can't even use English properly?
I checked out the actual facebook page and one post in particular caught my eye. Sorry if it's been pointed out before, but I noticed that in this drawing, Kara has backwards hands.

She really needs to instead, use the resources that everyone has been sharing on twitter for extended learning without school to ACTUALLY learn, or actually WATCH a YouTube video from a real teacher like James gurney or even like aesthetic artists kelogsloops or makkocino cuz she’s just super in denial that she has any chance of success at her current level

Really? No one owes you anything, Becca. It's your own fault you wasted so much time making crappy tutorials that even kids don't want. You don't get a medal of honor just for making them.

She acts like she literally forged the path for online art tutorials and she deserves recognition for her contributions to art history or something

Everytime she puts "support local artist/convention artist/webcomic artist/art educator/small business" shit I always feel she's just talking about herself.

i know its from 2018 but this bothered me so much

-the anthology book she was in, 1001 knights, the coordinators gave copies to each of the artists to sell for themselves and they told them to price it at $50 but she said it was too expensive so she priced it at $30. This isn't fair imo because then everyone would buy it from her and the other artists wouldn't get to sell theirs. Idk it just seemed scummy.

-she bought a cricut and has never used it because she doesnt know how to….This is from 2018 and I remember her mentioning it again in her 2019 spx recap so shes had it for years and still has never used it bc she couldnt be bothered to figure out how…….

You don’t need to know anything about vectors to use a cricut, they COME with their own software and there’s tons of tutorials on YouTube from everyone that does either stickers or vinyl. Like Katnipp at least has two, it’s what her store uses for her planner stickers. She’s really just making excuses for her own failings at this point and now it might be too old at this point to sell it.

>>973136
The thing about her selling the books for lower is not just shitty on her part to other artists cuz that was less than what the physical book cost during that Kickstarter (the book cost 40$ as a exclusive to Kickstarter, so 50 is reasonable) so she’s devaluing the art of like 200 other artists, many of whom also work in kids comics and satellite industries, but also cuz she’s eating into her OWN profit as well. Like often if you’ve contributed to a book, they’ll sell you copies at cost depending on your contracts so like, by selling it under MSRP for whatever reason (I suspect it’s cuz when she was doing cons like she has no confidence people will buy shit that isn’t priced as low as her 1$ commissions) she’s missing out on profit. It’s scummy on a lot of levels but also I find it hilarious she isn’t listed as a contributing artist anymore on it

this is from 2018 but it was unlisted and i found it in a playlist. She brings her weeb artist alley table to a librarians conference and her booth sticks out like a sore thumb, she breaks down crying on camera in the alley because she "had such a hard childhood because she got bullied for liking comics" and someone came up to look at her table, and she said "hi, feel free to look, im just having a breakdown, as you do" and it gave me such secondhand embarassment. Then in the car she kept going on about how she realized at this convention that the anthology she was in (1001 knights, the book she is selling for way less than she was told to) had one image of nipples in it, and one comic had some curse words, and she got mad because it was listed as "YA" even though thats YOUNG ADULT and YA/teen books with cursing isnt uncommon. She blamed the organizers of the book for not mentioning theres one image of breasts and light cursing, even though shes the one that didnt read all the way through and put it on her table. She gives me a feeling like she thinks shes better than other comic artists because shes family friendly.

watercolor comics definitely exist, obviously not as much as ink or digital, but they are definitely one of the more common mediums compared to any other type of paint, and certainly more than charcoal or 3d comics (even though those exist as well) but the comics that are in watercolor are usually light and airy (pic related by aiden koch), and don't have many layers, so it doesnt take as long. Becca makes everything so dark and insists on putting on tons of layers, not only making it muddy but also making it take way longer to wait for each layer to dry, especially since she went off on that kid about how she refuses to use a hair dryer.

>>977539
Yeah I think it’s really a means of finding how they can work enough for you. I like this one cuz of the reasons you say, the washes lend a lot to the airy ness of the comic. I’ve cited Jill Thompson here before as an example of another watercolor comic artist too, she’s worked both in children’s books and in capes for years. She can be super bold and vibrant like this story she did for a hellboy/beasts of burden crossover, but it’s also all about being clear and maintaining a balance and not to mention as well, good watercolor and drawing skills. Becca acts as tho this kind of stuff doesn’t exist so I can’t wait to see her try to guilt people with a terrible Kickstarter video and it probably not reaching her goal or it being super low and the massive blowup she’ll have about it after

I’m adhd anon again and I totally know if she was asked this question IRL she would say she can’t multitask because of the ADHD because she uses it so much as an excuse. It’s harder to multitask than normal brains cuz in an adhd brain, it’s hard to delegate tasks by priority BUT it’s not impossible. It’s just the fact she works so inefficiently and without taking any guidance from others is the real setback, it’s not JUST the adhd but she uses it so much as a crutch and excuse instead of working WITH it and bettering herself.

Like yeah, what is really stopping her from doing more than one story? Or like, working on multiple pages at a time instead of one at a time, which is what I would do especially if it’s one scene so that you don’t have to continually mix colors like she does and have multiple washes. There’s so many better teachers out there about ADHD too like, she’s taking this whole thing about having it and making that her new senpai-persona since she can’t be anime senpai anymore.

And for comics, I find Adhd Alien kind of repetitive but her comics are clear enough for most people to relate to them.

Plus idk what Becca is talking about when she thinks she’s being adhd senpai to kids cuz there’s a lot of content for kids that aren’t neurotypical. Like that’s a big element of the Percy Jackson series, Rick riordan wrote them for his son who was adhd and dyslexic so they’re very popular with kids and how relatable they are for them

No. 979144

Although lmao ok Becca, if the paintings were painted in batches then why are they color inconsistent and so sloppy? Like especially with the bad rendering of the black girl like it would all be solved easier if she had one large batch of the brown and didn’t try to shade with so many colors. Plus they’re blotchy AF cuz she doesn’t wait for them to dry or use a hair dryer; doing them in a cycle of like 3-4 pages at a time would be consistent but she’s stuck in the mindset that every page must be a full on illustration when watercolor can be simple

Yes and no. One time half day rain does little. Month long rain season changes a lot. My own experience is that bigger difference is Winter/Summer with different temperature and air capacity for accepting water. But. But if you are good painter that knows what is happening and how to deal, those are blips changing very little.
TBH the biggest difference in how watercolors behave is due to water quality. It can really change how paints disperse or granulate. But again, Becca's not really good enough to notice.

The rendering on the nose does make the face hard to read, you’re right.
I don’t know about the left corner, it’s either an attempt at a cloudy texture or she made the paper too wet and it’s warped causing the pigment to pool.

Old-ish milk but why is Becca so obsessed with the supposed advantages men in comics have. In the past she also tweeted about how if her male fiancé wrote Kara it would be popular. I’m just amazed that she can blame her shortcomings on literally everything but her lack of talent

No. 998361

>>997893
She’s obsessed with this weird, archaic view she has of comics which tbqh are old, uninformed and also not the kind of comics she wants to do anyway. This may have been true like 15+ years ago for things like DC/Marvel cape comics and it’s still slightly true since a lot of those comics dudes she’s referring to have been in comics for years. But she doesn’t want to do superhero comics, but she keeps latching onto her perceived notion that she can’t “get into” them cuz she’s not a man rather than she lacks actual skill to succeed. She is doing children’s comics, which is more based with children’s literature rather than comics, and it also has a ton of white female creators, like I mentioned Raina Telgemeier in this thread and her comics stay on the NYT bestsellers lists for years. But she doesn’t know shit about that nor how to get her comic seen by actual publishers cuz she only did shitty anime cons in the Midwest/south and she’s too pigheaded to actually learn how to do things from others. So she struggles and thinks she’s just undiscovered talent when reality is she’s a mediocre to average artist who sucks at finishing things and marketing herself to relevant people like agents and publishing houses but thinks she’s hot shit cuz she has a masters she paid for so she thinks she’s done with learning

Becca’s entitlement is honestly incredible. In her mind, simply because it exists it deserves the attention she wants. The actual quality or demand for her reviews is, to her, irrelevant, because she thinks because it exists, it deserves to be consumed. She fails to realize no one is enticed by her muddy and mediocre watercolors or her shitty editing.

Can't believe she's failed on all fronts. In the age where it seems like there's so many artists successfully running a business of of their art, Becca is a sad outlier who represents what is the probably majority of artists- people who just don't succeed in making a whole career out of their art.

>>998617

Her original tweet isn't wrong, but it's so funny how entitled she is.

"I'm making the content, but need your help in getting it to other artists who need it. I don't make it for it to be kept a secret" fixed it for you Becca. I don't think I've ever seen an artist who puts out tutorials basically beg for people to share it.

No. 999015

>>998697
Yeah she has this mindset that she’s entitled to have success as an artist because she has a degree and can produce artwork but she doesn’t have the realism that most people who have art degrees have other jobs to make money and also know the genre of art they want to go into. Like there have been dozens of books on how to market children’s books, which is what she IS making, but she’s either too thick to realize it’s a children’s book or like is too elitist cuz she thinks comics are higher art than children’s books. Suspecting the latter.

>>998617
>>998627
Her tutorials are also NOT useful? Like there’s dozens of much better, well produced and well scripted/edited/filmed tutorials on YouTube and she has nothing to make hers stand apart other than Kara. This is even before we dig into the quality of her artwork. She does nothing to stand out but feels entitled to attention, I wonder if she even watches YouTube videos.

>>998399
A man already made Kara. It’s called The Secret World of Arietty. I watched it recently and it’s like she ripped off the character and entire plot of it or at least all the unoriginal tropes of small people, fearful parent and human friends. Which in turn is an adaptation of the Borrowers. Like it’s so amazing how blind she is to put all this effort and years into not even finishing a story and she thinks it’ll pay off.

No. 999022

Forgot to add it always super bugs me that she uses blue painter’s tape to attach her watercolor paper instead of using a neutral colored tape or like gummed watercolor tape? Like she’s already terrible with colors but as a person who works with traditional media, you’re gonna struggle with matching or combining the tone of the tape into the painting so that’s why if you tape your board, most people use a neutral covered tape.

The muddy color might be caused by the way she paints with super thick layers.
Watercolor gets its color by light reflecting off of the white page back through a colored glaze, so if she’s applying it super thick she might be getting weird light scattering.

So Becca has been promoting the launch of Chapter 7 of Kara on Twitter and I decided to go check it out. I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned how terrible of an experience reading this ‘beautiful watercolors’ comic actually is. Not only do you have to open each page in a new tab, but there is no indication to let you know if you’ve opened a tab previously. Usually the link color will change when you’re reading webcomics/manga/whatever online to indicate you’ve read that page or that chapter. But I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised the website is too low effort to even have this basic aspect.

All these years of drawing Kara and her coloring still looks like something out of a children's activity book.

Becca, honey, I know you're a starving beggar artist but please invest in decent-quality watercolor paper for your serious project. I know it's 'economical' to paint your longrunning, deeply personal magnum opus on the cheapest paper available, but your water control just isn't good enough to settle for the cheap stuff. Your artwork would look marginally more viewable if you let a better quality paper do some of the heavy lifting.

Everyone who knows anything about the medium knows that image quality can be made or broken through the quality of the paper. After paint itself, that's the one material you should never skimp on if you want your artwork to look its best. Cellulose paper is fine for experimentation and swatching but she should at least aim higher for her monitized project. Or at least use an affordable full rag paper. Even a cotton/cellulose blend would be fine.

Ideally, Becca would save herself loads of money and just go digital with a pseudo-traditional style. But we all know she won't do that.

No. 1003097

>>999621
I finally figured out why her art is so flat, her lines have no weight and don't incorporate light and shadow at all.

Becca we know you're reading: stop drawing just outlines and add some shadows to your sketches.

No. 1003502

>>1003097
She relies on the painting to do the “shading” for her rather than line weight but isn’t good at that since she doesn’t factor in things like value or mood or tone into her painting at all. She tends to just make up a local color palette and goes at it rather than like, thinking of a color palette and sticking to that. She also doesn’t have a sense of light and shadow like you said, everything is colored rather arbitrarily rather than having a consistent lighting

But I also do think her lines are super flat because she has no understanding or anatomy of volume, you can see it with the “lion” drawing but also any of her sketches cuz she draws on top of circles but doesn’t understand what they represent. That’s why the lion’s body is a bean and not like, a rib cage and pelvis with muscles on top of them.

>>1002930
I super agree, she uses the shittiest paper and it sometimes feels like she doesn’t know how to stretch watercolor paper cuz of how terrible the paints look on top of them. She’s a supplies collector like baylee Jae so it doesn’t surprise me she’s more focused on the paints and other supplies she acquires then cheaps out on the paper. Like an Arches block is more expensive than a cheap cellulose paper but there’s videos on YouTube from actual career watercolorists comparing how paints work on them and it’s a real big difference (like this makkocino video is real simple about it https://youtu.be/xUhBdNKf10c)

But agreed, her digital stuff someone uncovered was decent, if she let herself experiment rather than like be locked into this idea she’s a watercolor painter, she could find a medium. Especially with comics, it isn’t about the art quality necessarily, it’s about storytelling and speed and she has neither.

>>1002923
This page is super fucking confusing cuz yeah, there’s no transition from when she’s on the cat (I THINK that’s her cuz it’s hard to tell with the dress blending in with the floor), looking up then like magically ending up on some sort of ledge? Like I guess she’s trying to do the thing in animation where a character runs around fast in one area while talking but like, I didn’t even realize the brown splotches are supposed to be anything? She doesn’t do any visual effects and it’s blotchy AF while the shapes are not visually anything except boxes, so it doesnt make sense and it’s not clear at all. You can also see how “precious” she is about the watercolor since that first word bubble is super small (and would get cropped out by the printing bleed, she doesn’t factor in print in her paintings either) and there’s so much weird unused empty spaces.

Plus the door switches sides?

Not that anon but this would be a 'cute drawing' if some teenager/highschooler did it

Here's just a list of basic art rules she got wrong:
Where's the light source? Each item seems to have it's own
Obvious perspective mistakes on the cake and the decorations being too sloppy for such a neatly decorated cake.
If the stand that Kara is on is the same as the one the cake is on and the cake is closer to the camera why is the closer stand's trim smaller on the page than the further one?
Tangents all over the place but mainly the cat's head and the girl's elbow
The layout has too much empty space and could have utilized the rule of thirds but ignores it. Both above and below Kara have nothing that draws the eye.

There's also the usual garbage anatomy that most beginners can do better than. If you can explain to me how a cat's skeleton would fit in that blob with eyes and a tail then maybe i could see it as a nitpick but for someone trying to get their book printed and has been working on this comic for years?

These critiques are more 'nitpick' but: Why is the icing white on the outside but pink on the inside? Why are the strawberries either not on the same plane as the icing or are completely haphazardly placed on top of the cake? How come the character has a piece of cake on their fork but their slice of cake is pristine? Why is kara's cake for herself bigger than her torso and how is she gonna eat it? What is going on with the large pitcher/kettle's shape?

I could go on but these are basic things that even an average person would be able to see arent right

Becca refuses to do minimum referencing/research and ignores basic things because she's too busy drooling over getting to use her precious watercolors so the base drawing gets neglected.

- and why is the strawberry on the girl's fork so much smaller then the ones on the cake like even taking perspective into consideration, its still way too small compared to the ones in the foreground. Also kara's cake is a completely different cake and their outfits dont match so it ends up feeling like 2 different pieces frankensteined into one.

- the cake looks both flat and mishappened cause she didnt shadow the left part and it looks like she didnt know how to draw a cylinder

- that spout on the teapot(?) doesnt look connected to the teapot and instead looks like its connected to the teacup

- also did she not plan the coloring for the cake whatsoever cause it looks like its not iced since both the inside and outside are cream colored but theres a random magical jam lining

Are you new here? Cuz this is all we got. Critique anon is right tho cuz for being a “teacher” and like having some kind of delusional bitterness that she’s the only white girl in the US doing manga style comics in watercolors that jetpens should just plain ass sponsor her, this is full of fundamental and easily fixable mistakes that someone who is a “pro” wouldn’t make at all. She’s quick to jump into watercolors without knowledge or preparation and if she didn’t have this shitty, “I know everything and thus are entitled to everything” attitude, then it would have just been a mediocre painting. The worst thing is she’s teaching people these terrible techniques instead of actually learning how to properly watercolor herself

This is where I feel she has no idea nor has any friends who actually work in comics. Like if it takes her 3-4 hours to do ROUGH pencils, she’s not working efficiently nor in a way that makes her appealing to be published. These are all problems that can be solved at the thumbnail stage, like she clearly doesn’t plot or script out where her script is going to go and like what is going to get covered up with word bubbles. She passes over her pencils like they’re going to be full illustrations, which she treats them as, not like an actual comic cuz a person reading one isn’t going to pore over the page for more than a minute so you have to be clear on what the heck is going on. She is none of that.

Plus she’s going to be sorely disappointed that like, most publishers will not print a full on book like this, she’s going to have to redo it to fit any publishers formats and I bet most of them won’t accept a pitch that’s like “it’s taken me ten years to half finish a book”. If she had any friends who actually worked in publishing, I’d bet they’d have told her this by now but frankly I think she’s too stubborn and foolish to accept she just can’t waste her life doing ONE magnum opus

I just checked her Patreon and Kickstarter, and as expected, she's not doing good, and she complained about people not supporting her multiple times.

I know she says it's an ALL AGE comic book, but it looks and feels like the target audience is 7-13 years. Of course people, online, who make their own money, usually 18+, aren't interested in that, she's completely delusional to think otherwise. Even if they were, not in a poorly drawn, boring one like this one.

Not to mention she way too long to complete her work. I honestly feel bad for her, that she can't see that her work is not bearing any fruit and she's just wasting her time not at least trying to do ANYTHING else. I hope her husband got $$$, because she's not going to make shit unless she realizes that this isn't going anywhere.

Truly the most delusional artist out there.

She would probably do better if she just said 'this is a comic I've been working on and I'd like help getting it printed and I would like to continue being able to work on it' but she keeps acting like her shitty passion project is this grand teaching tool that's a gift to mankind and will fix every problem in the world.

I mean that’s what patreon is for rather than KS. KS is to make a product, like a printed collection like this one, but ongoing support is more patreon’s thing. However, her patreon is a jumbled mess of whatever the fuck she’s doing https://www.patreon.com/Nattosoup she thinks she’s an art educator and everything is just related to like, her “instruction” and the discord so that drags her down a LOT especially since none of them mention her comic. Like she’d probably make more if she wasn’t so gung ho about being an “instructor” cuz that’s usually not what people sign up on patreon for, especially cuz she just releases the videos on YT anyway and her art is real bad. What makes HER so appealing vs the many other artists who are on patreon too? She doesn’t even know that.

Plus she has way too many tiers and I’m also dying laughing at this ten dollar one with the commissions discounts. Like, ffs Becca you sell commissions for a DOLLAR at cons like, have some self respect and stop charging yourself below poverty rates especially when you’re telling people they can get discounts if they pay you more monthly for what you charge

Yeah I think she’s both like using pure tube colors instead of mixing but also digitally correcting them to be even more saturated for some reason. Like these should be catchy enough for people to be interested in and I think she thinks that’s what’s people want cuz “normal” comic covers tend to be colorful and busy. But they’re not and she also is stupid enough to not like, put the text in after the fact and just have it there for no reason, not even like integrating it with the covers or the character in an interesting way. If she knew ANYTHING about actual publishing, this is ALWAYS done after the fact, the illustrator of covers gets direction for spaces to leave room for titles, but a graphic designer is usually separate from the illustrator. It just makes her comic look even more amateur than it is

Now I’m also thinking she doesn’t have a scanner or isn’t willing to pay a professional to scan in her paintings at a proper DPI for print and she’s trying to make up for the scanning resolution by over correcting the image levels to desperately try to match it to the painting.

I can't deal with the upturned elf noses she gives characters, combined with the anime eyes.

She's lucky she's selling to clueless parents because I doubt many little girls are into this artstyle, little girls are shallow.
I know I would have never picked up a comic like this from artstyle alone, if I could pick and wasn't stuck with whatever my family gifted me.

What a coincidence. And I’m sure she’ll in no way overreact when people don’t RT her pitiful Kickstarter lol. People rarely interact with her posts as it is. Her Twitter is just a wall of her RTing herself constantly, I’ve seen maybe one or two people actually comment on them.

Samefag but yikes about her wedding happening now and she hasn’t mentioned it (as far as I’m concerned), but has bombarded people with posts about the Kickstarter. I’m sure that makes her fiancé feel really special.

I come here more to rag on the art and not just her but like, I think the cut of it is fine but did anyone tell her the lace and the skirt are two different colors? Looks like she bought it off wish

Becca you're getting married and the thought on your mind is begging people to pay attention to your garbage comic?

Dress would be cuter if the colours matched and the sleeves were longer.

The cut looks fine, but she would benefit from some shapewear, and the skirt looks like it's made from the same cheap satin that is usually used for lining.

she says her whole family is immunocompromised and older, and she has asthma, WHY is she having a wedding during a pandemic, how selfish could you be

Found the dress since most likely bought. She says in her wedding vlog that she bought the lace overlay separately (starts talking about it here >>1013463 around the 13:00 mark), so it's her own fault that it looks weird and off. How is she an artist and can't tell that they're too different colors that don't mesh well?

I nearly choked lol! That’s one pained expression, it honestly says a lot about how he feels. I’d feel bad but he chose to live in misery with a woman who will likely bankrupt him with her obsession with Kara/art supply hoarding. I mean, she was more vocal about the Kickstarter than she was about her excitement for the wedding… a wedding that she absolutely needed to get out of the way asap for some reason.

She’s an artist yet she’s never seen a pair of scissors apparently…

I think they’re supposed to be dressmaker scissors but she doesn’t use enough reference or have the knowledge cuz the reason they’re shaped like this is because they let you cut fabric flat on the table, so the handles of her scissors don’t make sense especially cuz the large handle is backwards as well as the hand

She said she didn't mention the wedding much because she couldn't invite many people and didn't want people who know her feel left out. Who cares? They would find out one way of the other, and if they didn't understand keeping it small during a pandemic of all things (why she chose to do this when most weddings are being cancelled is beyond me) it's their problem.

The sad thing about all of this is that I don't think the wedding was in her mind much, in the vlog she sounds like she just wanted to get it over with, which makes sense with rushing it during a pandemic instead of waiting another year to have a good wedding. She's extremely fortunate of marrying someone so supportive yet all she can think about to the last minute is Kara and the kickstarter.
