Not sure if this counts as art but I was drunk outta my ass & I made a romantic candlelit dinner "sculpture" out of jenga blocks (my friend graciously helped w/ the lighter)

I’m surprised my JojaMart Cashier got in the art gallery

finally emily is done SDVPufferFear
If anyone wouldn't mind for suggestion before I made my move on haley, it will be appreciated SDVPufferHeart

#

That’s

Pretty good, not gonna lie

#

Very elegant?

#

not gonna lie I want to wear that outfit

fleet gazelle
#

Lol

pastel iris
#

thx cup SDVPufferHeart
still I need to make sure if everything is okay SDVPufferthink

fleet gazelle
#

Looks good

warm loom
#

Okay

#

That Emily is objectively amazing

#

And I'm gonna have to save it

fleet gazelle
#

Lol

pastel iris
#

@warm loom
thanks SDVPufferHeart
perhaps there is any suggestion on your mind?

#

I was expecting people will asked about her eye colour for example lol

warm loom
#

I'm not very artistic/creative so I don't really have much advice

#

I like her eye color

#

Blue eyes are the best, especially since it matches her hair

pastel iris
#

I changed it to blue just because to match with haley's, and making it more sense as they are siblings

warm loom
#

and Emily's earlier artwork had blue eyes

pastel iris
#

I don't like her recent update lmao, no idea why CA changed her eye colour o.O

warm loom
#

i like her hair in her current portrait, but not her eye color

pastel iris
#

her hair isn't much issue though

#

anyway that is just a WIP preview, not the full version

#

I'll mention you once I've fixed the sorting

warm loom
#

Alright, awesome, thanks

#

Looking forward to it

#

Is the Haley one going to be similar?

pastel iris
#

the pose is pretty much same, only a bit shorter than her

warm loom
#

Love it

#

I don't know if it's just me, but i would think Emily would have smaller boobs than her sister

pastel iris
#

also do you mind her skin tone? one of my pal said if the skin tone is too bright

warm loom
#

it seems pretty similar to her portrait

#

Emily is pretty pale

#

And Haley is a bit tanned

pastel iris
#

sizing down the boob will take long though xD and why would you prefer that way?

warm loom
#

hmm i guess it's just me, i have a more stereotypical view of Haley i think

pastel iris
#

there's no chest size canonically though, but I based it on slightly cuter character sprites mod

warm loom
#

Don't bother changing it

pastel iris
#

which seemingly emily is quite.. same size as haley does lol

#

but I made her bigger for age difference lmao

warm loom
#

But yeah for skin tones, I think Emily's seems about right. Haley should definitely be tanner than Emily

pastel iris
#

as emily's lover, at least be glad enough if your waifu got extra assets xD but still, if you prefer the smaller version just DM me and if possible you could mark it with MSpaint or simple image editing software, don't worry too much about me either because this is vector art
@warm loom

#

it's easier to shape on vector than regular pixel images though xD

fleet gazelle
#

What exactly is vector?

pastel iris
#

lemme give a simple thing to explain

fleet gazelle
#

400-500%?

pastel iris
#

it's 236

#

you know that usually

fleet gazelle
#

Oh lol

pastel iris
#

if an image were zoomed on that percentage, pixels will pop up right? xD

#

so that is vector xD

fleet gazelle
#

Basically so you can’t see the pixels?

pastel iris
#

yep, it's always clean smooth asf

#

even if you zoom it to 5k%

#

PS : what I send before is png though

lusty hull
#

Vectors are infinitely scalable art

pastel iris
#

^ this

warm loom
#

infinitely GWofxWut

safe goblet
#

yeah vectors are unlike pixels because they're, well, not made of pixels

#

it's just like, "this line is curved in this way" and no matter how far in you zoom it's going to be that smooth curve

devout bridge
#

vector lines are so good but so infuriating to actually make

#

i gotta get indesign cause illustrator straight up chaps my ass

pastel iris
#

yep, that's the problem, vectors are pretty much limited for a certain style with alot of colour gradients

#

it's possible to achieve, but will take damn long time

devout bridge
#

nah you can do a lot with them, its just tricky?

#

like painting is difficult, but if you're just trying to cel shade then its p simple. cel shade or do colour splotches and leave things unblended

pastel iris
#

still, apparently some people prefer to use drawing assisting hardware, which it will only make vector arts more complicated

candid citrus
#

i wanna try nd work with vectors but i don't know any good programmes

pastel iris
#

I always use mouse for vector arts, no matter what

#

I'm using inkscape, it's free willow

safe goblet
#

i also used to use inkscape to do vector stuff

pastel iris
#

tbh I'm legit pissed with illustrator CS5, because everytime I colourdropped in illustrator CS5, not only changes the colour but it follows the object stroke (outline) as well -.-

#

everytime I created a cel shade it's always outlined whenever I colourdrop lmao

devout bridge
#

i think you can change that tho

#

its been a while since i've used illustrator but iirc you can change the fill and stroke assuming you didn't make the chunk as one single layer

safe goblet
#

pretty sure you should be able to just make the stroke transparent, or just not there at all

#

maybe not in illustrator i havent used it in ages either

#

i know you can in inkscape, though

pastel iris
#

I'm talking about the automated feature cat by the way

#

yeah you could manually change it back but still it's tricky lmao

devout bridge
#

i think the setting should be right on the taskbar

pastel iris
#

anyways I still haven't figure out the way to turn off that automated outline, perhaps there's a way but it's too late since I've fallen in love with inkscape now xD

safe goblet
#

inkscape was comfs for vector stuff

pastel iris
#

the issue is only lack of cmyk, as I didn't create logos anymore so that won't be a problem

candid citrus
#

thank u for the recommendation !!

devout bridge
#

a lot of things dont do cymk iirc. gotta convert in photoshop πŸ˜”

safe goblet
#

csp does it

devout bridge
#

..i think it was cymk. might be rgb but i'm dumb

pastel iris
#

csp?

safe goblet
#

clip studio paint

lusty hull
#

There is CYMK color mode in the Illustrator CC

pastel iris
#

ah

devout bridge
#

clip saves in the one for digital viewing. photoshop lets you convert it for printing

pastel iris
#

well there is a way to convert inkscape svg with scribus (which is free as well) to CMYK colours but a lil bit tricky if you have alot of colours

ooOoh feeb thats very cool, the perspective/proportion warp (not sure of the actual term) reminds me of an old animation style or something. neat !!

#

Question: Would it be too out of character for Morris to try and sabotage the community center's repairs?

onyx island
#

Yeah

neat iris
#

Okay.

thorn pulsar
#

@neat iris in my opinion, depends on the buildup. he doesn't have much character to begin with, but I can see (with the right buildup) him becoming more actively antagonistic

#

though, if I were to write it, it would probably be something he tries to goad his employees into doing to keep his hands clean. seems like the way he would go about it

onyx island
#

What would he win from sabotaging supernatural creatures he can't even see though

thorn pulsar
#

he doesn't need to know that that's why

#

it's being fixed

#

he just knows it's being fixed without his help, loosening his grip on the town

acoustic gulch
#

my hc morris is just a sad workaholic so i woudlnt see him doign that but i agree that if u build it up right and make him even more cartoon evil then it could work

thorn pulsar
#

honestly, it seems cartoonishly evil, but it's a thing that happens. it's about as absurd as throwing your coupons around in a competitor's store: not legal, but it happens

devout bridge
#

doesn't seem that out there to me? he doesn't know the junimo are doing anything and just sees the farmer going in and out

onyx island
#

vandalism is illegal though, I'm pretty sure

devout bridge
#

prob assumes theyre doing the repairs themselves

thorn pulsar
#

just not often, given that it's profoundly illegal.

#

yes, both are (potentially or otherwise) illegal

onyx island
#

Wasn't aware the coupon on Pierre's store thing was illegal aHyperLuL

thorn pulsar
#

I'm trying to think of the right words, because illegal isn't quite

#

ugh I'm tired

devout bridge
#

frowned upon?? cause dick move, morris

#

you won't go to jail but ull get ur ass beat

neat iris
#

I mean I know it's not hidden knowledge that Morris wants to Joja to take over Stardew

thorn pulsar
#

actually, Morris is soliciting, but not illegally. I stand corrected, soliciting-related trespassing charges are usually related to direct sales. though if Pierre was like "gtfo" and Morris didn't, that's a trespassing charge with a potential solicitation angle

#

not that Pierre would

neat iris
#

I was thinking maybe Morris would try and bribe Shane and Sam to distract the farmer or something like that to stop repairs(?).

#

It's for a Oneshot I'm working on

thorn pulsar
#

I can see that

#

it's not quite "go trash the place," more "buy me some time"

#

though I'm a big fan of the idea of you coming home late from the mines, hearing a commotion in the community center, and just walking in on Shane having a breakdown because he kicked over a single box on Morris' command and he feels horrible about it. might have to write that myself at some point

neat iris
#

Awwww. I like that idea.

devout bridge
#

shane gets distracted and introduces himself to all ur chickens

neat iris
#

Love it.

#

He's supposed to convince her not to repair the center but chickens

slate yoke
#

I can see Morris trashing the community center. The less value it has to Lewis, the more likely he'd be willing to sell it without that last Joja membership.

#

If it were to reach a point where Lewis no longer has the ability to make any use of the center, he'd probably be willing to sell it. I can see Morris capitalizing on that

ebon briar
#

RE: would morris sabotage community centre

Depends on the tone you're going for. I can see him being unaware of the CC completion/repairs until it's too late (I think he's surprised when he sees it completed in the cc cutscene but I might be wrong)

But in terms of actually going for it? Yeah I can see him either trashing it or lobbying to try and block it.

onyx island
#

aaaaand Lewis would press vandalism charges and get Joja the hell out of Pelican Town

ebon briar
#

Only if hes caught ^^

onyx island
#

Well doing it once would be enough to alert everyone

ebon briar
#

Cause remember too... nobody really notices the center is being completed until the day after its completed

onyx island
#

Or worse for his purpose, bring the town together to fix the vandalized chunks

ebon briar
#

Its the junimos repairing it

#

Nobody really goes in there before repairs except for the one time Lewis went in there with the player

#

I personally HC Morris as going to the CC often pre repair to try and plan out the warehouse and I feel if he saw any sort of repairs hed be furious

devout bridge
#

sdv is lawless aint no police, just lewis, and all he does is stare at his dirt plot smh

#

wild times in farm land

ebon briar
#

I dont see him like, planning vandalism and showing up with a baseball bat or something to smash stuff up

#

Itd be more of an impulsive thing

hard lynx
#

Official sdv currency is joja cola

devout bridge
#

morris gets big mad

#

tuckers himself out trying to knock off the bulletin board

ebon briar
#

He sees he craft room is full of stuff and gets furious n knocked over the shelf n shit

#

Implying hes tall enough to reach the bulletin board

I want young Evelyn 2 be a punk

devout bridge
#

morris loudly boasts about the farmers shoddy repair job. kicks a door n hurts his toes

ebon briar
#

His poor toesies

devout bridge
#

he does the owwie dance

ebon briar
#

Oof oh oowie

#

Also for the bribes I can see him trying to bribe Sam. He has a lot of community service hours apparently so I can see him taking the blame for it. Even if he was all "morris paid me to do it" do you think Lewis would believe that

#

Or Morris blaming Sam.

devout bridge
#

oh no, morris blaming sam and everyone thinking hes a bad noodle :c

#

and his friends aren't like. the most respected? so even if they vouch for him it probably doesn't mean much.

neat iris
#

I can already see this Oneshot being a two parter thanks to all these ideas lol

ebon briar
#

Also heres an element of him that I've never seen anyone mention.

His steam card quote says something along the lines of "Morris believes Joja will propel the Ferngill Republic towards a prosperous future" Its political for him. Maybe he accuses people against joja as being traitors to the Ferngill Republic?

#

To him anyone who opposes him is a traitor

onyx island
#

There's probably Joja marts in the Gotoro Empire too so I doubt it

ebon briar
#

The quote is at the top of the wiki page if anyone wants to find it

#

But yes. The mental image of morris struggling to knock over a kids play table is a good image.

lone mountain
#

man drawing fullbodies are so difficult for me now

#

i need to do some studies

neat iris
#

Thanks guys. You have me so many ideas lol

#

*gave

lone mountain
#

why is that i try to do a ref for a certain character

#

and its too hard

#

but i can do it for another

#

THAT HAS THE SAME BODY TYPE

#

do diff characters just affect my drawing motivation/ability or smth

ebon briar
#

It could be!

devout bridge
#

oh i get that jev

#

dw it happens

ebon briar
#

I find drawing favs is harder for me than drawing chars I dont like

#

Sometimes the opposite

devout bridge
#

sorta same! but i put less effort into it

ebon briar
#

Just cause I have high expectations ve low expectations

devout bridge
#

faves i put all the effort and then get upset that they dont look perfect lmao

lone mountain
#

i think thats prob it

ebon briar
#

Which is why I've been doing lower effort stuff like this morris I posted a while ago. Sure it isnt perfect but its freeing to have low expectations going into it

#

Honestly I'd suggest doing some drawings where you go in with no expectations

#

Dont use an eraser

tidal nova

devout bridge
#

i love shit doodles omg

ebon briar
#

SAME god

devout bridge
#

im one of those messy sketchbook people πŸ‘ŒπŸ½ πŸ‘ŒπŸ½ no effort drawings are so relaxing and help me rly get over the whole 'sketchbooks need to be fully composed and neat' mindset i used to have

#

theyre fun digitally too! but i tend to put more effort in 'em cause undo exists lmao

ebon briar
#

W/ digital I find I'm too dependent on ctrl z

But yeah even though a lot of stuff in my sketchbook ends up like this w/ whack proportions it kinda lessens pressure to make 'good' art

#

Hes a fuzzy drider...

#

But yeah God I'm just like "fuck erasers tbh"

devout bridge
#

i dont even get that far in mine, i just line something and put 'no' next to it if it doesn't pass whatever test im feeling

#

its still nice tho even though i write no on most pages lol

ebon briar
#

I also use watercolour to make me sketches more presentable lmao

devout bridge
#

for no erasers i use coloured pencil tho

In terms of blender stuff? I unfortunately don't really have any finished blender stuff uploaded anywhere

pallid terrace
#

Ah all good ^^

ebon briar
#

I've got no idea how to do actual renders which is why

pallid terrace
#

Do you do commissions though?

ebon briar
#

For 2d art or 3d models?

pallid terrace
#

Ah so you do 2d commissions?

#

I was just wondering, sounded interesting

ebon briar
#

I do both. 2d digital stuff mainly. In terms of 3d models it depends on model complexity, if you want just vertex paints or if you want textures, rigging, etc

pallid terrace
#

nice

#

If you want any help doing rendering in blender, im more than happy to lend you a hand

#

sounds like you can already handle yourself pretty well

pastel iris
#

something just feel buggy but i don't know where :/

slate yoke
#

That face highlight looks like makeup, maybe that's it?

#

Try a slightly darker shade?

pastel iris
#

whose face? πŸ€”

slate yoke
#

Both

#

It looks like white facepaint

pastel iris
#

I'm not.. sure
I've tried and it makes it seems like the hightlights blend with the skin

slate yoke
#

Maybe you should just ditch them then? I've seen plenty of things in this style get away without face highlights there

candid citrus
#

it looks good to me azrael !

pastel iris
#

I think your suggestion strikes on preference of style, fable SDVPufferthink
I'm quite sure my style followed tetsuya nomura's FF7 before crisis artworks, unless you have no preference on that style

#

and thanks willow SDVPufferHeart

slate yoke
#

I was just suggesting because, like I said, I've seen that style done without those highlights before and it's looked fine. All good in my book if you don't want to change!

pastel iris
#

sorry if it sounds harsh by the way, I mean I've already tested your suggestion but its just didn't change anything

pine smelt
#

I was hoping someone here might be able/willing to help a Hangy out with some sketch work for a wood burning tribute I want to comission for my mother since my step-father passed. I just need some help with some basic ideas and putting together a concept for the person I want to do the wood burning. If anyone can/is willing to help, please drop me a DM.

pastel iris
#

or perhaps my brain is just fucked up because I didn't sleep SDVPufferthink

slate yoke
#

It's all good cold, I know you weren't trying to be harsh!

pastel iris
#

vector arts can be quite confusing, if I zoomed it in somehow it looks better, but it got somehow buggy once I zoomed it out -.-

pallid terrace
#

Looks pretty good @pastel iris . I think studying anatomy will help you greatly.
Even though your going for a stylised look, having an understanding of human anatomy will allow you to give it a more life in my humble opinion

pastel iris
#

I am indeed studying that, only that do you mean that you find there are some mistakes in the anatomy?

pallid terrace
#

The arms to me look a little off, compared to the rear of the body

#

But yeah, it's clear you have already got a strong fundamental understanding

pastel iris
#

care to describe this 'little off'?

#

too short? too long? πŸ€”

pallid terrace
#

Nah not length.

#

Width, especially after the sleeve

#

I think the hands are fine. As they are small, but it fits your style well

#

So the elbow, and upper arm are the two main areas

wise geyser
#

im carving avocado pits wish me luck

pastel iris
#

Um, right, I don't know if my head is just fucked due to my lack of sleep and I literally couldn't see the mistake on the parts you mentioned o.O
perhaps to make things faster, if you could provide a reference?

wise geyser
ebon briar
#

Does he look odd w/ big ears?

pallid terrace
#

@pastel iris just take a break, come back tomorrow and take a look at it

#

Morris, ears look fine

pastel iris
#

unfortunately no, I have no time for tomorrow
this is the fix I could do so far based on my references

pallid terrace
#

Either way, even if this is done here. It's worth checking back in on it later, to see what you could improve for next time

#

As for the elbow, lemme grab something

pastel iris
#

I have habit to forget things if I were to postpone this, so would be better if it'd be done now

pallid terrace
#

See how it curves?

#

On the back

#

Just below the tricep

pastel iris
#

and you noticed the gloves by the way?

#

that's quite hardly reference tbh SDVPufferthink

pallid terrace
#

... ok then

pastel iris
#

I mean yeah I could change the curves but

pallid terrace
#

And yes I noticed the gloves

pastel iris
#

just to make sure if you're suggesting the gloves to be super tight?

pallid terrace
#

That's what you've portrayed them as, and even if their not skin tight, the top part would have gravity pressing it into the concurves of the human form.

#

Either way, best of luck

wise geyser
#

i think what chala means is that theres more bone structure to a persons elbow rather than a smooth doll like appearance??

pastel iris
#

well to be honest I have no knowledge about those white gloves either just drawing it for aesthetic purpose, but lemme see if I could got the hang of it

wise geyser
#

but not everyone is into realism so i think it looks fine the way it is

#

because if we were to focus on a more realistic style, youd have to scrap the whole thing :/

pastel iris
#

the problem is sometimes I couldn't understand pretty well if someone's describing based on words

wise geyser
#

im assuming chala just means that your bone structure is very doll like

ebon briar
#

Yo for shane's body, when it comes to joja uniform. Wearing the joja sweatshirt or nah?

#

his jojamart uniform sprite shows him being in the same uniform as sam but like,,,

why would he have a joja sweater if he cant wear it at work

#

Eh you can be not into realism yet have a good grasp on anatomy

#

It all comes down to knowing where to exaggerate

wise geyser
#

also morris are you making his basic sprite or??

when I said it's hardly a reference is because the arm were all down, how could I perceive it when the arms are folded?

ok idk what chala means because i dont have the dip above my elbow

pastel iris
#

well would be better if you're wearing gloves as well, especially the one with that length

wise geyser
#

i guess if you want things to look more lively/interesting maybe you can add wrinkles??

#

like skin and clothing wrinkles

#

because currently everything is quite smooth

pastel iris
#

yeah I could, yet I don't understand too much clothes physiques lol

wise geyser
#

are you using any references??

pastel iris
#

yeah, but the references are all naked xD

#

so for the clothes are total zero except the bunny suit

wise geyser
#

there should be some wrinkles at the elbow and wrists

you can try looking up references with full gloves

shane is a sandals and socks guy

gosh catto I haven't seen you for like a half month o.O

#

shane with sneakers? I always thought he's wearing sports shoes

#

especially he's a gridball fan

pallid terrace
#

That's already looking much better cold

#

Also if you don't have a reference for a particular part, then you can always google another angle. So say your having difficulties with the arm, and your arm is folded, but the reference shows a straight arm, then you can simply search for a folded arm reference.
Another tip, is when your looking over a reference, think of what your seeing.
Lemme explain what I mean by that.
The three main visible things you can see on a human (anatomy related) is
Bone(knees, elbows, cheeks)
muscle (Arm, legs, abs)
Skin
As for the skin category, obviously almost everywhere is skin, so this category is referring to the wrinkles.

Knowing what your seeing, where the muscles end and the bone begins, helps construct the form, realistically or with a cartoons twist.
Of course this isn't mandatory for all styles, but it seems that's what your going for.

And my final suggestion is to not forget the to look at the shilouette , ie the outline.

thin dagger

haha yeah az sorry for not being here for awhile, i’ve been pretty busy. i hope to be online more often after this week and hopefully i’ll get some time to draw more bc it’s been awhile

pastel iris
#

to be specific I think it's more about the pose name itself chal o.O I've already googled 'folded arm' before yet it's showing crossed arms, in the end I have to use crossed arm as reference while imagining if the arm being folded in the way in my WIP

#

@ catto
I just searched your recent post though, either I didn't notice you or have you ever changed your name before?

thorn pulsar

@pastel iris is it possible to take a picture of your arm the way you want it?

Hello I have a question

thorn pulsar
#

no, my name's dad

#

what's the question?

neat iris
#

Lol so I was thinking about having Morris try and convince Shane to stop the farmer from fixing the farm

#

But I'm not sure what the ultimatum would be for him

thorn pulsar
#

If it's early on

#

losing his job might be enough

#

he doesn't know you and he hates the world

#

so he trashes the community center, at first, to try and convince Lewis to sell

#

You start fixing it, Shane still doesn't know you, so on and so forth

#

If it's later, and he's started to come out of his shell a bit, it'd be a worse ultimatum

#

possible pressuring Marnie for her farm if he doesn't?

neat iris
#

It's later between six and seven hearts

thorn pulsar
#

hmm

#

then it'd definitely be something severe, but not illegal

#

like, he'll fire Shane and something something Marnie's Ranch

neat iris
#

Maybe he'll threaten to put her out of business so she can't herself and Jas

devout bridge
#

gonna eat charlie

neat iris
#

Morris could have a file and Shane and his life, and use that against him

devout bridge
#

true

#

or going with your marnies ranch thing, he could threaten to keep the blue chickens? shane mentions that they're unique to their ranch so losing them would ruin them

#

cause lbr marnie isn't selling cattle to a ton of places since the town is so remote

neat iris
#

You're right and you should say it

peak zealot
#

How did i get here?

neat iris
#

I don't see anyone else have farm animals

peak zealot
#

Oh nvm the picture was changed lmao

devout bridge
#

she probably sustains herself with the eggs and milk the livestock make tbh. but designer chickens would be a boon to their livelihood should they start selling them

ebon briar
#

Though also, isn't shane and marnie really the only ones who know about the blue chickens?

#

Morris woldn't know about them i dont think

devout bridge
#

yeahh but the towns got less than 30 people so i imagine secrets aren't well kept lmao

#

idk

neat iris
#

Well one secret remains to be revealed lol

ebon briar
#

I see Morris going the "I'll just buy all her eggs then sell them for a third of the price~"

devout bridge
#

how linus and the wizard became friends & started hanging out on halloween??

ebon briar
#

"We have the funds to afford it." Then after running Marnie out of business he can jack the price up.

neat iris
#

Eggs that last twice as long as Marnie's

And probably are 20 percent more fluffier

push ears and hairline further back?

I think the ears gotta move back and the hair around them as well

#

Maybe even make the ears a little bit bigger? Idk how anatomy works so dont take my word on this

storm meadow
#

Ideally the top of the ear should align with the end of the eyebrow. The bottom part should be around the tip of the nose. But that’s the ideal proportion and you adjust it based on your character’s features

#

I agree that you should push the ear and hairline further back as well

also does anyone know of an easy way to transfer SAI brushes to clip studio? i know you cant transfer files and stuff but im also too lazy to recreate them by translating what each option means from SAI > CSP

i dont think theres an easier way from my own research but if anyone got suggestions/tips or anythin, pls let me know!

i know someone posted a "translation" of SAI > CSP but

guess not tho. ive been procrastinating recreating them for so long now

but you just have to Really play with it a lot to make it remotely similar

#

and if you have custom sai brushes that rely on a texture or a brush shape, good luck bc u gotta make that from scratch

YEAH the thing is all the brushes i want to transfer are all custom, i messed w the settings myself to fit what i wanted

and of course they are all textured fdnskjfds

SMH my head

thorn pulsar
#

I'm just frustrated by how much LGBT content/discussion is being censored, and since a lot of my favorites were on old blogs with people who outgrew tumblr, a lot of great stuff is basically lost forever.

#

but yeah, get that NSFW explicit content out of here, @slate yoke

slate yoke
#

I had another post hiding in my records that was flagged

#

Tumblr again never told me, and even when I hit that review flagged posts option it never told me

#

That means I probably have more posts hidden as a result that I'll never notice because of this stupid system

thorn pulsar
#

I genuinely don't understand the change. It may honestly be a tactic to kill the site to sell it

#

make it more "advertiser friendly" with whoever wants it next

slate yoke
#

It's an attempt to make the site more marketable to mainstream advertisers

#

That's all there is to it. Pure business

thorn pulsar
#

well yeah

#

it's just not working, at least not yet.

slate yoke
#

Little did they realize this BS would ruin the site and kill their traffic LULUS

thorn pulsar
#

that's the thing, they should have known

#

it was pretty clear it would happen

#

so I'm wondering if something on their end made it seem worth the risk, or if it's genuinely an attempt to flush out undesirable content for a sale/rework of the whole site

#

or well. undesirable people, even, more so than the content.

slate yoke
#

It's legitimately possible they had a market study done that showed that removal of this content would result in more ad revenue

lone mountain
#

i wouldnt say it killed their traffic but def made it take a dive

thorn pulsar
#

tumblr is known for its ride or die community, so they definitely still have people hanging on to the format

lone mountain
#

id like to see some actual stats on how much traffic dropped tho

slate yoke
#

Believe it or not, poorly constructed market studies have happened before and have led to bad business decisions. Just because they should've seen it doesn't mean they actually did in their research

Overall this has done nothing but hurt the site and it's not longer one of the more profitable social medias. Reddit's users are still the least profitable overall, but tumblr ain't much better

the snipe hunt article :p

#

Thank you! I had fun writing it. The others wanted to just do a simple "lol gotchu" post, but I figured a little charm never hurts

#

Between my struggles with shoulders, I decided to doodle a little. Its not perfect, but I'm on to something good here

lone mountain
#

looking really good so far!

#

^^yeah cant wait to see how it turns out πŸ‘

#

This'll be the 5th version of my Ashen One. Last attempt was back in June. That bloody doodle looks better than the previous finished drawing

Something has clicked.

There was a really interesting post about how yahoo has slowly killed creative communities over and over again

#

Im all for keeping nsfw content at a bar but the way they did it was a shot in the foot

#

But it reminds us how important sites like ao3 are. You can post art to ao3 but itd be nice for an art focused equivalent

#

Ohh had no idea you could post art on ao3, thought it was writing only

unkempt tinsel
#

yeah at least i think you can

#

nice lines

slate yoke
#

I haven't seen a submit art button :U

unkempt tinsel

:U

#

I'm checking and indeed it seems that it's still not possible to upload works other than writing

Smh Jade

neat iris
#

I finally finished my latest chapter

unkempt tinsel
#

don't smh me

neat iris
#

I'm proud lol

unkempt tinsel
#

i've heard about it before

#

and there is a post from 2011 about it

#

it's possible they either never implemented it or removed it

slate yoke
#

Hey same here

#

Shoutout to finishing chapters today

fleet gazelle
#

just make art using dots makco

neat iris
#

Ayyye

unkempt tinsel
#

but i could be getting it confused with how you can post original writing on ao3 and it will be protected similarly to fan works

slate yoke
unkempt tinsel
#

it's not something common but it's osmething you're allowed to do

neat iris
#

I uploaded it too and I'm just waiting for the feedback

unkempt tinsel
#

good luck

neat iris
#

Thank you!

f*ck yahoo

#

ok as a babby,,, i do feel like there should be more separation between nsfw and sfw contents on site like tumblr, twitter etc

#

sure there are tags and mature filters and even though I do have '#nsfw' filtered out im still

#

constantly getting porn rblogged onto my feed

#

even after the porn ban

slate yoke
#

Oh I agree with you 100%

ebon briar
#

It's especially bad on twitter but that's its own can of worms

slate yoke
#

I just don't think Tumblr's approach was smart at all

ebon briar
#

But yeah if there was more incentive for nsfw artists to,,, yknow

#

tag their stuff as mature

slate yoke
#

I'm not someone who likes porn at all

#

Like seeing porn makes me physically ill

#

But I also know that it has a place in art communities. If people actually tagged shit properly there'd be no issue

native swallow
#

^ Agreed

ebon briar
#

I know on twitter its because... there's no way to tag individual posts

native swallow
#

It's nie impossible for a computer engine to filter that kind of stuff automatically

ebon briar
#

Either your entire account is put behind a "MAY CONTAIN MATURE CONTENT" filter or none of it is

slate yoke
#

Twitter's setup is bad tbh

#

Twitter needs a tagging system that actually works

ebon briar
#

anyways in non venty news

#

gonna try and fix up shane

#

what items should i make for him to hold?

slate yoke
#

Oooo good luck!

onyx island
#

a can of beer of course lol

ebon briar
#

beerb,

#

maybe have like

#

jojacola and jojabrew? or something

lament turtle
#

real talk

#

why is there so much porn on tumblr after the 'ban'?

slate yoke
#

Tumblr's bots are bad at finding it

#

They're too busy tagging sfw things

lament turtle
#

I feel like I

ebon briar
#

It detects things based on shape/contrast and colour

#

which is why completely sfw but skin-toned things are fine

lament turtle
#

helped them find some lmao

ebon briar
#

but a lot of porn thats like... blue

#

blue people

#

or some shit

#

lighting within the art can fuck with it and make it undetectable

lament turtle
#

I was digging through a blog from years and years ago and all their shit was untagged

#

when I returned like a week later

#

it was all gone

ebon briar
#

download yer porn is the lesson to take away from this

lament turtle
#

😬

slate yoke
#

😬

onyx island
#

😬

azure nightBOT
#

😬

ebon briar
#

But it also sucks too cause with the non-nsfw stuff that was detected

#

some of it was on inactive blogs and is now permanently lost

slate yoke
#

Or people like me who were never informed our shit was tagged

lament turtle
#

ugh I can only imagine someone getting paid to spend hours writing an algorithm that detects porn

#

yea that's awful

#

a mess

ebon briar
#

i think a lot of it is actually like

#

machine learning

slate yoke
#

It is

lament turtle
#

oh you right

slate yoke
#

It's mostly machine learning which was why it was so bad at first

ebon briar
#

more shane expressions,,,

#

tempted to add a crying/tearing up

#

ALSO AH FUCK I FUCKED UP HIS HAIR LMAO i didnt realise he has an undercut

lament turtle
#

does shane have an undercut?

#

those are cute btw

ebon briar
#

but its just one of his expressions

#

and ehhhh kinda?

slate yoke
#

He has an undercut but the depiction is inconsistent

#

You can see it there still, the perspective is just unclear

ebon briar
#

I fucked it and made the back of his hair messy

#

similar style to how i modelled morris' hair

unkempt tinsel
#

belated but twitter isn't really an art focused site but ppl like to use it as a replacement to tumblr now

#

i've been using twitter not for too long but long enough to dislike how the art works on there

#

that being said i also disliked how tumblr did art but i at least got used to it and tagging stuff is easier

#

i really want a replacement to deviantart that has stronger moderating and filtering, that's literally all i want

#

but it feels like people don't want that. social media or nothing

#

so i just feel like an angry old woman

onyx island
#

shakes cane they don't make art websites like they used to

lone mountain
#

I feel the same way tbh

unkempt tinsel
#

literally me makco

#

i'm glad to know someone feels similarly, i mean i'm sure a lot of us want some good art sites

#

like, art station is cool but it's also a portfolio website more than a less professional i just wanna share my art man website

#

i feel like deviantart had that kind of spirit and it's.... kinda gone now. at least for me it feels like that

lone mountain
#

Deviantart let themselves go stale

onyx island
#

When I was looking for Penny art in DeviantArt I saw things I wish I could unsee <_<

unkempt tinsel
#

deviantart would be so much better if they had better filtering

#

i hope the new layout that'll eventually come out (assuming it won't be for premium only?) will help because for art sites now it's just commission central and that also is stale to me

#

i get artists need money and i 100% support that but it's also annoying for me when i want to just browse art and i keep coming across commission sets, dolls, adoptables, and ych

#

it's nice to have a dedicated section for people who want to buy stuff

#

the problem is bigger on furaffinity than deviantart but i've ranted abt that already

#

i guess it personally makes me sad because there is not as much room for hobbyists, it's social media, it's a commission platform, or you're just like...... sharing art on discord i guess

ebon briar
#

agreed. i want a place where i can dump like sketches and unfinished works

#

cant really do that on DA or tumblr

unkempt tinsel
#

i can at least say that tumblr never felt like it was commission central, i always felt that was spread out well enough but it doesn't remove it being social media as opposed to strictly art centered

#

yeah very true

ebon briar
#

also da is IMPOSSIBLE to get your art seen without using groups

lone mountain
#

Tru

ebon briar
#

and then for some reason if ur art is tagged fanart

#

all the recommends are for fnaf/undertale art

#

which i mean... its good art but also why is it showing up on my post tagged #crashbandicoot

#

ive never mentioned undertale or fnaf on my da

onyx island
#

Crash Bandicoot/FNAF/Undertale AU fic of course! aHyperLuL

ebon briar
#

banditale exists
