creative-discussion

[pastel iris]

I tried my best to copy tetsuya nomura's style, only ended up suppressing my creative minds, then slowing down my process and get tired and bored faster

[exotic snow]

was looking for art software and find this expensive one
@mossy leaf i bet your ass there is a pir**ed version of that

[tropic halo]

i mean
ive never copied an artstyle entirely

its mainly just elements that i like
that i do in my own way

[velvet sun]

welp time for me to suffer

[pastel iris]

also what software did you post mick?

photoshop?

[exotic snow]

oh oh im actually trying to copy an artstyle but im really having fun doing it in my case

[tropic halo]

its like
oh i like how you draw a nose
i wanna try drawing my nose similar to that

[pastel iris]

one thing for sure tho

[unborn granite]

Photoshop is overrated when it comes to drawing

[exotic snow]

but no matter how hard i try to do it in her style i always have a tint of my own stuff mixed into it ig thats my own artstyle prolly

Photoshop is overrated when it comes to drawing
@unborn granite agreed

[pastel iris]

attempting to copy an artstyle is definitely learning

[tropic halo]

ive used photoshop for drawing once

didnt actually get anything done
i think i still have the file

[pastel iris]

just attempt, doesn't mean you copy it completely

[pastel iris]

everytime I attempt to copy an artstyle of someone and fails, the failed artstyle turns out to be good as new

[exotic snow]

yeah i mean, even if i try to copy this one style in this one pose, once the pose changes i cant draw in that style anymore so ig thats my failed attempt lol

everytime I attempt to copy an artstyle of someone and fails, the failed artstyle turns out to be good as new
@pastel iris actually, yes, 100%

@tropic halo that is a very emotional painting

the two sweatdrops really illustrates the passion behind the emotion

[pastel iris]

my issue is pretty much colours and lines tho

[exotic snow]

i am learning how to colour atm actually

[pastel iris]

it's hard to copy the colours and line completely, though unless if you're copying a style that is having less shading and lightings

chibis with celshades for example

[tropic halo]

@tropic halo that is a very emotional painting
@exotic snow thanks :)

[exotic snow]

well im better off not even attempting ig, with the artist im talking about

[tropic halo]

never touched ps again

[velvet sun]

Why does firealpaca not suck?? like

[exotic snow]

cuz this is her work, and i- just stare at it

[velvet sun]

what it's so smooth

oh

guns

[exotic snow]

ive only used firealpaca for photoediting i- dont have any contributions to this convo

[velvet sun]

lol some of my sketches are just low quality guns,,, i want to draw some more of them,,

[mossy leaf]

GUNS

guns are good

guns go bang

[pastel iris]

well done ama

[exotic snow]

huh?

no no no that wasnt my work that is by the artist that i look up to

[pastel iris]

oh right, I just realized it now lmao

[exotic snow]

yeeah, if only... sigh

[velvet sun]

hh literally why does my artstyle change drastically within 10 minutes

[exotic snow]

i tried doing the 'outline the shadows with pen' thing and it turns out pretty good

[mossy leaf]

relatable

[pastel iris]

also, sometimes dropping the rule of my own style suddenly creates another artstyle lmao

[exotic snow]

hh literally why does my artstyle change drastically within 10 minutes
@velvet sun used to me tbh (or is it still me)

also, sometimes dropping the rule of my own style suddenly creates another artstyle lmao
@pastel iris YES LMAO

like just changing the way i draw eyes then boom literally another person

but nah these days i just stick to my golden eye rules

[mossy leaf]

as soon as I changed my brush that I always used my art style changed drastically

[pastel iris]

it was in #761319420441788496 , because of the deadline, I just draw whatever I can without thinking on quality or whatever, because in the end it wasn't me who's gonna judge it

[exotic snow]

^ oh actually yeah! try to experiment with different brushes, even messier ones, for the lineart can create interesting results

it was in #761319420441788496 , because of the deadline, I just draw whatever I can without thinking on quality or whatever, because in the end it wasn't me who's gonna judge it
@pastel iris oooh i like the way you do your lineart which brush did you use?

[pastel iris]

it's just pencil tool like usual lmao

light pencil to be exact

[exotic snow]

o maybe i should try to use the pencil tool more often

[velvet sun]

note to self: arrow keys WILL rotate your canvas when you dont want it to

[exotic snow]

all i use these days are pens pens pens

or you can hold R and freely rotate your canvas!

btw are there shortcuts to quickly change brush size in CSP

[pastel iris]

I rarely rotate my canvas tbh

[exotic snow]

i rotate where i need to draw very straight lines

[tropic halo]

Why does firealpaca not suck?? like
@velvet sun i used it for a long time before i got into sai and csp

its great

[exotic snow]

cuz my hand only goes in like, this one direction

[pastel iris]

coughs figure tool exists

[exotic snow]

note to self: arrow keys WILL rotate your canvas when you dont want it to
@velvet sun i have my tablet on my keyboard covering half of all the keys when i draw so... cant even reach lmao..

coughs figure tool exists
@pastel iris hmm?

whats this figure tool

[tropic halo]

^ oh actually yeah! try to experiment with different brushes, even messier ones, for the lineart can create interesting results
@exotic snow i have a nice textured brush that i use for lineart

[pastel iris]

I mean to draw straight line

[tropic halo]

ive turned down the texture a bite tho
cause i wanna try painting

[exotic snow]

@exotic snow i have a nice textured brush that i use for lineart
@tropic halo i used to use the textured pen in the pens section in CSP for my lines as well

[pastel iris]

the tool below gradient tool tho

[exotic snow]

I mean to draw straight line
@pastel iris yeah but im talking about when the line is a littttle curved

[pastel iris]

that's the thing if you want to draw straight line

straight but little curved.. right

[exotic snow]

like the white tie here

[pastel iris]

uh

but that IS curved

[tropic halo]

my lineart

[velvet sun]

that scare me

[mossy leaf]

he stares into my soul

[exotic snow]

oh i think i have that exact pen you use haha

i recognised the texture

[pastel iris]

the scratch began to show up when I set it to 100% zoom kek

[tropic halo]

its not a csp brush

[exotic snow]

recently i do be thinking my lineart is too smooth tho so ig i should try using rougher pens

[tropic halo]

i dont do my lineart in csp

[exotic snow]

its not a csp brush
@tropic halo oh i have a very similar one in csp then

[mossy leaf]

this is my lineart

[tropic halo]

csp feels gross to do lineart in for me

super stiff and heavy

[pastel iris]

is that 100% zoom nae?

[exotic snow]

the scratch began to show up when I set it to 100% zoom kek
@pastel iris what do you mean you dont hide your skeeetch?? oooh

[tropic halo]

nah
i dont think so

or probably idk
i didnt check

i just zoomed

this is my lineart
@mossy leaf i like the texture

ive always been a fan of super scratchy or textured lineart

[mossy leaf]

same

[exotic snow]

my lineart

[tropic halo]

my lines used to be super thick and black and yucky

[mossy leaf]

I downloaded the brush that I use and modified it heavily to fit my style

[tropic halo]

i realized recently that i dont like thick lineart for myself

i cant pull it off

[exotic snow]

i realized recently that i dont like thick lineart for myself
@tropic halo in my case i can never find a balance, one day i would find my lines too thin, then when i try to do it thicker it would be too thick

[tropic halo]

my lineart used to look like this

[mossy leaf]

Thicc outlines is quite the style

[tropic halo]

ive started working with a size 6 brush

damn my art has changed

[exotic snow]

the style has changed

[pastel iris]

show it in 100% zoom ama 😆

your lineart

[tropic halo]

but i might redo it one day
i wanna see it without the ugly thick black lines

[pastel iris]

by the way my sketch is still there

the thing is.. well

[velvet sun]

hh ive been testing firealpaca

[pastel iris]

you know

[mossy leaf]

OO

[pastel iris]

layers

[tropic halo]

probs one of my fav piece
i was commissioned to do it

[mossy leaf]

that looks amazing Sythia

[pastel iris]

unnamed layers

[mossy leaf]

That sketchy style really fits the character

I love it

[exotic snow]

i love the sketchy style too actually

but i cant do it myself

how do u even-

[tropic halo]

back in the day when i used to use one layer to colour and shade

damn i was so brave

[velvet sun]

oh my god

hoow

[pastel iris]

1 layer for more than 1 colours

[exotic snow]

damn that youthful courage

[tropic halo]

now a days i would neverrrrr

[exotic snow]

oh just in case you didnt see it this is 100% zoom on my lineart @pastel iris

[tropic halo]

if i still had firealpaca installed id show you guys some one layer stuff i did
shit was crazy

[exotic snow]

maybe we should do a one layer challenge, youre not allowed to add layers etc.

[tropic halo]

damn
thats some nice lineart

[exotic snow]

sometimes i think its too smooth

[pastel iris]

all that points in the hair mwheheh

[exotic snow]

some bits are messy lsdjfa

[pastel iris]

anyways well done ama lol

[exotic snow]

ty!

[tropic halo]

this was my sdv summer even thing
it wasnt even that lone ago but my art has changed so freaking much

[pastel iris]

my god nae, even the one from prompt I draw is having 50 layers

for chibi oof

[exotic snow]

this was my sdv summer even thing
it wasnt even that lone ago but my art has changed so freaking much
@tropic halo it really has

[mossy leaf]

I remember that drawing!

[tropic halo]

why so big....

[exotic snow]

tbh my style has changed so much from my haunted joja thing too

[mossy leaf]

it is quite good

[pastel iris]

how the heck lewis owns a gun

[exotic snow]

why so big....
@tropic halo high res

[mossy leaf]

why is it 8k?!

[tropic halo]

pfft

[pastel iris]

and.. is that robin, or penny?

[tropic halo]

i put all my time into the monster and everything else
by the time i got to the background i was so burnt out

penny

[exotic snow]

how the heck lewis owns a gun
@pastel iris lewis keeps a rifle under his bed to shoot intruders when marnie comes to visit and they are having a good time-

[pastel iris]

I doubt if your PC will hold it for 7k reso if you try super complex style with mass layers like ama or me 🤣

[exotic snow]

damn i havent touched stardew for like 3 weeks now

I doubt if your PC will hold it for 7k reso if you try super complex style with mass layers like ama or me 🤣
@pastel iris depends what pc they are using tbh

i only have a laptop lmao asdfals

[pastel iris]

gun existence is still questioned in sdv anyway

certainly not potato PC ama

[exotic snow]

its 900$ in usd i think

around that

[pastel iris]

mine's only 8gb of ram lmao

[exotic snow]

same, 8gb

[velvet sun]

i draw with a stylus,, hahah

[exotic snow]

r/mildlyinfuriating

[azure night]

https://reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating

[pastel iris]

so just.. dots?

[exotic snow]

my tablet used to disconnect so often but these days it doesnt anymore and i wonder why-

[pastel iris]

meh, wacom does that alot

[exotic snow]

oh? how come you know i use wacom

but yes, its wacom

[pastel iris]

uh I mean I wasn't guessing lmao

I was saying because I'm using wacom lmao

[exotic snow]

first tablet ever, so

LMAO does it do that for you too?

[pastel iris]

sometimes yeah but there's a trick to fix that

it's in youtube but i forgot which one

[exotic snow]

i mustve accidentally done something then cuz my tablet is very friendly to me these days

[pastel iris]

also it needs to be noted your wacom has to be in fit condition ofc

if it's physically damaged then that could be the cause

[exotic snow]

nah i treat it well

it looks just like new tbh

thing is i bought it 4-5 years?? back and i just never really used it till a month ago

[pastel iris]

when you didn't use it for that long, where did you put it?

[tropic halo]

when i used fire alpaca my pressure sensitivity would just go brrrrrrr

and just stop working
and the lines would get all janky

then id have to save and exit the whole program then reopen to fix it

dunno why that happened

[exotic snow]

when you didn't use it for that long, where did you put it?
@pastel iris on the shelf, did not touch it

but now that im constantly using it the tablet never dc anymore so im good

prolly just had digital dust

[pastel iris]

hopefully it's not like you put lots of heavy stuff on top of your tablet for 5 years, that might broke it a little

[tropic halo]

its amazing how much you can improve in a little time if you just draw often

[exotic snow]

^ YESSS

[tropic halo]

i only use to draw when events came up in this server

now i draw almost everyday

[exotic snow]

i draw every day and i cant agree more

[tropic halo]

or i try to

and my art has changed so much

[exotic snow]

looking back at it my haunted joja prompt was shit lmao

[pastel iris]

not when you make a portrait mod

because it forces you to stay consistent

[tropic halo]

one of the first things i drew here

god its so ugly why tf did i think it was good

[exotic snow]

if i made a portrait mod over a few weeks my art gets better and when i look back at my finished portraits i would just want to change them/redraw lmao

[tropic halo]

and my latest art piece

[exotic snow]

ooo the glow up

[tropic halo]

funny enough theyre both christmas themed

[pastel iris]

I mean amaryn, 42 sdv characters lmao

[exotic snow]

this luau one that i did,, gags

[pastel iris]

not to forget there might be a plan for SVE and seasonal outfits

[exotic snow]

not to forget there might be a plan for SVE and seasonal outfits
@pastel iris oh no

also, this was my past artstyle

[pastel iris]

and so far I only made this hot emo dude

[exotic snow]

o yoba earrings

[pastel iris]

oo that's cute

[exotic snow]

chibi stuff is easy for me but-

i need to challenge myself

[pastel iris]

I kinda inspired based on nongdarn's sebastian tho

which is he's wearing cross earring, since christian doesn't exist in sdv I changed it to yoba

[tropic halo]

i dont think i can do chibi

its so harrrrd

probs one of my favs
cause monkey

[exotic snow]

o edgy

[pastel iris]

that zayn kek

[exotic snow]

this was another one that i did

[tropic halo]

i wasa testing a new ish art style

used a differnt brush

hated the quality of the lines afterwards

[pastel iris]

anyways guys, how do you categorize your own default artstyle?

[tropic halo]

idk why i stuck with it

[exotic snow]

categorise?

[pastel iris]

mine is kinda complicated tho

[tropic halo]

wdym
like cartoony
realistic

[pastel iris]

common people see my style as anime

[tropic halo]

mine is pretty cartoony

[exotic snow]

ig mine is manga etc.

[pastel iris]

however when I ask most of my pal who are weaboos, they don't consider it anime lol

[tropic halo]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/748756802392293416/775796272980295680/IMG_20201110_081746.jpg

[exotic snow]

i wouldnt say it's anime

its more in the middle of cartoon and anime

[tropic halo]

mine is somewhere between heavy stylization and toony

[exotic snow]

^ i agree

[pastel iris]

to be honest, I can't tell where to drop mine lmao

[tropic halo]

bro-

why did this ad just pop up on my pc

[exotic snow]

it knows

[mighty bronze]

Idk what I am doing but ok I guess

[tropic halo]

oo i like

[mighty bronze]

sketcheroonies

[tropic halo]

is that ummm

whats the name..

[mighty bronze]

Marceline

[tropic halo]

adventure time?

[mighty bronze]

yes

[tropic halo]

ah

never seen it

looks fun tho

[mighty bronze]

Ima try to do the portraits for her and Marshall lee, the boy canon

[tropic halo]

im just realising that i didnt give this dude a tongue
and now im thinking of just leaving him tongueless

[mighty bronze]

wew

[pastel iris]

ok so

[tropic halo]

ooo
goodluck
it looks good so far

[pastel iris]

whoat counts as heavy stylisation and photo like lol

is photo like kinda realistic one?

[tropic halo]

heavy stylization is like

lavender towne

or the cartoons they make now a days

a photo like is just realism

[pastel iris]

lavender towne

it's a game or wut

sounds familiar

[tropic halo]

its a youtuber

she does stylized stuff

lavender town is also a town in pokemon

[pastel iris]

oh so that IS lavendertowne

lol I saw her videos in recommendation but I simply never watched them

[tropic halo]

its not my type of stuff

[pastel iris]

well same tho

[tropic halo]

her art is good but im not a fan of noodle arms and eyes half the size of the head

[pastel iris]

my style is definitely away from hers

[tropic halo]

but its a good example of highly stylized art

[pastel iris]

then I guess mine stands between anime and photo like

[tropic halo]

your art is probs somehwere here

[pastel iris]

so lemme guess

chibi stands in almost middle of everything

?

apparently there are also some chibis who has complex colours and shade

[tropic halo]

not sure

[pastel iris]

hyanna natsu does that

[tropic halo]

ive seen some complex chibis

found ooooooooooooooold art

[pastel iris]

perfection

[mighty bronze]

lmaooooooo

that is so good

[abstract dust]

Beauty, grace, couldn't have put it better myself az.

[tropic halo]

eyebrows where...????

hairline? non-existent

[abstract dust]

You need to sacrifice something for perfection.

[mighty bronze]

[tropic halo]

my old sketch books are giving me nightmares

[pastel iris]

too bad all of my old sketchbooks had been burned to ash

[mighty bronze]

ngl same

ah

I still have them

but laughing my ass off on what I could draw

[pastel iris]

@exotic snow anyways ama what's your artsite

I've already known the lots of people who's talking here but you

[exotic snow]

@exotic snow anyways ama what's your artsite
@pastel iris artsite?

i have pixiv and insta and twitter but thats about it

[tropic halo]

oh yes
azrael
do you use a website for your comm info? or a comm sheet

[pastel iris]

portfolio or social media that's used to store your art

[exotic snow]

insta

@ amaryn__

[pastel iris]

I'm using website, which is atm tumblr

soon enough I plan to change it

[tropic halo]

ahh
ive never gotten into tumblr

[pastel iris]

so whats your pixiv?

[tropic halo]

https://nae.uwu.ai/ this is mine

[exotic snow]

i only use tumblr to stalk sims 4 mods lol

[tropic halo]

i dont like using a comm sheet

[pastel iris]

I forgot my instagram account lol

[tropic halo]

cause my information changes a lot
and theres quite a lot of stuff i want people to be able to read

so a single image just woudlnt work

[exotic snow]

i dont have commissions

[pastel iris]

tumblr was purposed as my art gallery but now it's shifted to my deviantart

[exotic snow]

so whats your pixiv?
@pastel iris lemme check

i dont post on pixiv often tho so its mostly just old works on there atm

[pastel iris]

you'd be dizzy if you checked mine nae lol
https://sheercoldazrael.tumblr.com/artcommissions

lots of gnarly stuff 🤣

[exotic snow]

oh my pixiv id is amaryn-ng

[tropic halo]

ive never figured out how to use tumblr

[pastel iris]

I plan to put the simplified version and the tumblr remains as the full version

[tropic halo]

damn
i charge more than you do for bust
oof

i should probs lower my prices

[pastel iris]

no lol

my price is low because it's still grand opening

so that is only temporary

[tropic halo]

so many boobs

[pastel iris]

boobs? wut boobs

[tropic halo]

booby boobs

[pastel iris]

https://www.deviantart.com/coldazraelarts
my DA is so dad oof

[abstract dust]

azrael, your site is so clean.

[tropic halo]

question
why do you charge less for an additional character?

[pastel iris]

2 arts stored, not even followers

oh that's for 2 characters or more in 1 canvas nae

not 2 characters in each canvas

there are no boobs in my artsite nae, only apples, gourds and melons

[tropic halo]

yeah but like
youre gonna be doing the same amount of work right?

to add a second character

so why less?

[pastel iris]

I'd say it's marketing purpose

lots of artists also do that

as long it's in 1 canvas

backgrounds however, varies in the complexity lol

[tropic halo]

hmmm

i have my additional characters the same price

cause i dont wanna be doing more for less

[pastel iris]

I simply think it's kinda works just like.. how do I put this

as if bundle

[tropic halo]

i get what you mean

ig its just a me ting
i cant imagine doing twice the work for half the money

[pastel iris]

or as if you bought 5 burgers in one order costs less then buying it 1 by 1, but again depends on the store

the thing is, are you willing or not on working hard or no nae lel

[tropic halo]

i mean
burger compared to art

you slap meat inbetween two buns

in art you have to sketch out the character
line it
colour and render it

lot of work

[pastel iris]

I don't think on that deeply nae, as long it benefits me I'll take the chance, simple

[velvet sun]

hhh i hate everything

[tropic halo]

ah kk

[pastel iris]

just like what my tumblr said : a practical person who likes to draw

[tropic halo]

i like it

ive tried to do super sketchy work before

[pastel iris]

that's cute

[velvet sun]

i liked the idea of a really bright jacket compared to everything else

[tropic halo]

didnt really work out for me

[velvet sun]

the lines i draw aren't neat, and neither is the colouring

[tropic halo]

i kinda like how i did the hair here tho

[velvet sun]

hh neat lines,, ?? idk i feel like it loses some of the personality in my sketches for me

[tropic halo]

but other than that i hate everything about this

[velvet sun]

im dumb so i had to draw the backside of jacket

[abstract dust]

Ay! That's so cool!

[tropic halo]

@velvet sun you should make your name frosty for christmas

like forsy

[velvet sun]

hhh this also works

[abstract dust]

Corn?

[velvet sun]

Note to self: dont try to draw kanji that small

[abstract dust]

I think it turned out pretty well!

[velvet sun]

cabbage.

[abstract dust]

Right.

[mossy leaf]

surprisingly the jacket looks really good

[velvet sun]

Lmao i wanted to put something on the back of the jacket,, and the first thing i thought of was cabbage

[mossy leaf]

lmao

I wish I knew japanese

[abstract dust]

Very nice choice. 👌

[velvet sun]

the story meaning (since it belongs to an oc i made) is that it was a handmade gift from a friend lmao

[mighty bronze]

suddenly emo boy vibes

[tropic halo]

i learnt that the looser you start your sketch the better

i just go ham with my messy lines
cause the more refined you get the more itll harden up

[abstract dust]

Old penguin art.

[warm herald]

Oh. An ancient relic

[abstract dust]

Indeed, trapped way back in the passage of time.

[tropic halo]

omg
beautiful

[abstract dust]

Trust me, I have way worse.

[lament turtle]

[tropic halo]

It’s really starting to look that way 😔

[mighty bronze]

wait, so you're taking SDV requests to do fan art for?

[vagrant crow]

For fan fiction 👀

[mighty bronze]

Oh, because I had an idea for my bi ass farmer kek

[vagrant crow]

Write them in a fanfic and I’ll draw them LOL I am desperate for some fan collaboration

[mighty bronze]

Lmaooo, I think we can do that if you'll find my idea interesting

[vagrant crow]

You’re so nice smookie! 😭

[arctic ingot]

I think I've seen Jack post some of his fan fics here

[warm herald]

Yeah. Jack posted sdv stories/fan fic

[crude crag]

[vagrant crow]

Oooh what’re the fics about?

[crude crag]

[vagrant crow]

Send me a link to their AO3 or blog and I’ll check check it, check it out

[mighty bronze]

added more floofiness and I think it looks better rite?

[stiff crater]

Definitely looks better!

[mighty bronze]

[north kite]

better

[tropic halo]

theres so much talent here i cri

[mighty bronze]

Sadly I don't think I have a style yet, I just test out things lol

[stuck robin]

krita just crashed i want to cry

[mossy leaf]

awww have pats

[mighty bronze]

o no

[stuck robin]

smookie your pfp :o

[mossy leaf]

Do you trust the good Smookie or the evil Smookie

[stuck robin]

morally ambiguous smookie

[young harbor]

@vagrant crow Sure thing, I can't pay you though

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y3FKXPtJQBD0J_4UchxJDRjlS1mEqbPxFwe4MHF1Y_E/edit?usp=sharing

Here's the link to the story compilation

[vagrant crow]

Oh hey thanks! Do you have a copy with paragraph breaks for dialogue? I get really confused reading stuff that isn’t formatted

or are you looking for a beta reader bc I looooove editing

[mighty bronze]

Lmao you guys, hehe, guess you'll need to find out who to trust

[young harbor]

Beta...reader? Those are finalized versions.

I can add the paragraph breaks myself

[vagrant crow]

Oh yeah I’d definitely do that then, every time someone new talks there should be a new paragraph

[young harbor]

Ah, what a pain to do

I've finished the first story if you want to take a look

[vagrant crow]

Omg ty!

[young harbor]

Y'all CANNOT tell me that Harvey would not say "What in the dickens"

[tropic halo]

krita just crashed i want to cry
@stuck robin this is why we dont use krita

[stuck robin]

i love krita and its treated me well, im just bad at storage management

[unborn granite]

Harvey would say that he's been bamboozled unironically

[warm finch]

i tried krita before, the brushes are pretty cool

but i like the user interface of csp more :3

i used sai before, but i never got the full version... maybe one day i'll get it again lol

[pastel iris]

the thing I like in krita is the multibrush feature tho, it allows me drawing hair shadings and lightings faster

[still field]

Any opinions on FireAlpaca, though?

[tribal tulip]

my tablet has trouble sometimes being compatible with firealpaca

[abstract dust]

Works pretty well for me! It does the job.

[tropic halo]

Any opinions on FireAlpaca, though?
@still field i loved it

i used it for a long time before i switched to csp and sai

my tablet has trouble sometimes being compatible with firealpaca
@tribal tulip i had this issue for a bit

[urban nexus]

firealpaca is good for beginners imo! first program i used

[tropic halo]

sometime it would just stop registering pen pressure and just went super janky

id have to close and reopen the program to fix it

[tribal tulip]

firealpaca is good for beginners

not me making a farmer oc and adding lore haha noooo

[still field]

sometime it would just stop registering pen pressure and just went super janky
yeah, i have to wait for a bit before the pen pressure registers

but sometimes it will also not detect that my pen isn't on the wacom anymore

[unborn granite]

I decided to make a japanese-oriented farm mod! Heres the messy sketch for the farmers house (first time using aseprite 👀 💦)

[lament turtle]

how do yall make your commission sheets?

[warm finch]

I wish ppl commission me lol but I’m too bad and I’ll prolly give myself a poor rating xd

But you can put up sample art and mark the prices underneath

[lament turtle]

ooo but how do i structure it

i got like

1 commission

50$

[abstract dust]

I'm not the person to come to for advice but this was the structure for mine.

I just looked at a ton of examples made something based on what I saw!

[warm finch]

God that pengo at the bottom left corner is so cute

[abstract dust]

Haha, you can never have enough penguins!

There no real wrong way to do it, art is subjective after all. Just do whatever you feel is best for your situation!

[warm herald]

Thats a really nice comission sheet^^

How much time do you usually need to finish comissions?

Depending on the amount of detail of course.

[warm finch]

It depends on each artist i think👀

[velvet sun]

hh i literally just took 2 hours to finish lineart and it still looks bad

[tribal tulip]

lineart is hard

doing lineart is my favorite part of drawing so i think im fairly good at is

it*

[abstract dust]

I haven't really gotten any yet. (From non-family, friend people.) But usually it depends on if I'm in the mood. ^^"

For example, it took me like 20 days to complete the Haunted Joja piece, but only about 4 days for the Woods one!

At least that's what my rough memory tells me.

[velvet sun]

we aren't going to mention the fact that I had to redo the sketch 7 different times because i spent a good portion of the time trying to figure out why it looked so bad before realizing that i had to resize the canvas

[tropic halo]

how do yall make your commission sheets?
@lament turtle i wish i knew how

i just made a site

a comm sheet cant fit all the info i want

[abstract dust]

Oh jeez, that sounds like heck.

[tropic halo]

a single comm sheet cant fit all my terms
what i will and wont draw
my prices and example art

[tribal tulip]

i made a spreadsheet with the prices and thats it, im too lazy for fancy sheets

[tropic halo]

plus my other social medias

[tribal tulip]

carrd

[tropic halo]

https://nae.uwu.ai/ this is where i have my comm info

[velvet sun]

speaking of social media,, hhh we arent going to talk about my instagram that i literally post art on once a month because i have no motivation :D

[tropic halo]

i yeeted my insta

i hate the cropping there

i just use a twitter now

[lament turtle]

thank you guys!!!

[tribal tulip]

im not active on insta anymore, i use mostly twitter and tumblr

[lament turtle]

the thing is

i dop watercolor commissions

so my prices are

stupidly difficult

like

you want arches paper? ok

what size? ok

what type? ok

[tropic halo]

tradional art is gonna cost a lot more than digital

cause you use up your paper

[lament turtle]

yeaaaah

[tropic halo]

and your paint and stuff

[lament turtle]

and i feel like no one will want my art

[tropic halo]

if you put your stuff out there there will be someone that likes it

do you have terms set up?

[lament turtle]

terms? wdym

[tribal tulip]

like tos

[tropic halo]

^

[lament turtle]

oh well

not rlly

just no nsfw

[tropic halo]

stuff like this

my terms are fairly detailed

[abstract dust]

I don't really have terms either.
I'm too lazy.

[tropic halo]

that way no one can say im in the wrong if i enforce them

[abstract dust]

Also I have no idea what I'm doing.

[warm herald]

One question Nae about the 3pack animated emotes. Is it intended, that they are more pricy than ordering 3 seperate animated emotes?

The other 3 packs seem to have a discount model.

[lament turtle]

actually my only term

is 50% before i start

(once u cvonfirmed the sketch)

[tropic halo]

ah
that was a mistake
thanks for pointing that out

lemme go fix it-

i only start working when i get full payment

[warm herald]

Ah ok^^

[abstract dust]

That's generally a good rule! That's how I'm doing my prices for now.

[tropic halo]

getting payment after a sketch is risky

you send them a sketch
watermarked or not
and they take it
dont pay
and ghost you

[lament turtle]

hmmm i guess

but i just want them to pay half before i start working on it

[tropic halo]

" i will not start working until all of the payment has been received. however, if the price exceeds $100 usd then you will be allowed to pay half before i start working and half when i am done. you will not receive an unwatermarked version of your commission until i receive full payment"

is what ihave for mine

[lament turtle]

well im a 14 yo student so

i dont find it fair for me to do that

[abstract dust]

It's a tricky thing, nae's way of payment is also totally valid! I just don't want people to think I'm scamming them, especially when I don't have any buyers.

[pastel iris]

if you're still underaged I'd suggest you don't do comms or you will need your parents to keep all administration stuff on watch

[lament turtle]

my mom is aware of it!

and same pengo

[pastel iris]

there's a thing called chargeback iz, that's the horror of us all artists lmao

[abstract dust]

Oh gosh.

[lament turtle]

chargeback whats that

well so far i got one commission

lovely guy, paid full amount, already getting ready to ship it

[pastel iris]

how do I explain this to you lol

[tropic halo]

there's a thing called chargeback iz, that's the horror of us all artists lmao
@pastel iris thats why i use paypal invoices

once you have your terms and such inplace you can dispute it

[pastel iris]

so it's kinda when a nasty client forcefully refunds your commission

[tropic halo]

if its an unfair chargeback

[lament turtle]

i use paypal or interact :)

[tropic halo]

im pretty sure its illegal to use paypal.me or friends/family to pay for goods and services via paypal

since you can dodge merchant fees that way

[pastel iris]

someone's still able to get away with that nae, if they claimed the transaction is not authorized

claiming if "their credit card is used by someone else without their permission"

[tropic halo]

ive gotten an unfair charge back and i disputed it with my terms

worked out fine for me

so idk

[abstract dust]

I'd explain but once again I'm not entirely sure myself.

[tropic halo]

screenshots are always useful

[pastel iris]

that is also why I'm limiting myself of credit card transactions

[tropic halo]

thats why people dont recommend using voice calls and stuff to organize comms

[pastel iris]

paypal does not accept screenshots as strong proof iirc

[tropic halo]

huh

the more you know

i just feel more secure with invoices and stuff

and if i get a lil bit of sus energy from someone i just call it off

better to be safe than sorry

[pastel iris]

I mean ofc it is way more secure with invoice

[lament turtle]

well then idk how to avoid that

but yeah :(

[pastel iris]

I only said it doesn't mean you're 100% protected of chargebacks

[tropic halo]

ig youre right

but yeah
just avoid peeps that seem sus

[lament turtle]

but i still wanna do cmms

[tropic halo]

no matter how badly you want the commission

[pastel iris]

I mean I'm not restricting you from doing comms iz lel

it's just your paypal is at least have to be under your parent's watch

[tropic halo]

yeah
i use my mom's account for now

ill be 18 in a couple months tho
then ill get my own

[pastel iris]

if you spot a person who had no clear social media, content or anything they got in internet. basically like a ghost that you don't know the background of this person and asks your work to be paid with CC, you'd be best be aware of this

paypal balance, cashapp, or any other stuff is kinda safer than credit card payment actually

[tropic halo]

bro
one big red flag
is if the person is always offline

on discord that is
they set their status as invisible

dont trust that shit

[pastel iris]

I go offline all time nae lmao

no, I don't think discord status can tell if the individual is nasty or not

[hushed brook]

Yeah I don't trust always offline people

People with the idle status are cool

People with the online status are basic

[pastel iris]

I joined a server that's dedicated for art commissions, lots of people in the server blacklist are still able to set their online status like normal people does

[hushed brook]

People with the dnd status are weird

and people with custom status are dope

[still field]

People with the dnd status are weird
okie m8 ;u;

[lament turtle]

my mom is watching it dw

also!!!

im almost done my sheet

wanna see??

[tropic halo]

no, I don't think discord status can tell if the individual is nasty or not
@pastel iris its kinda sus

[warm herald]

Show us^^

[tropic halo]

if someone is just
always offline
its kinda sus

[velvet sun]

why does shading give me hell

[pastel iris]

it's simply not a deciding factor, as long if the person has literally no content in internet, whether they put themselves online or offline, you should stay aware

[warm herald]

Oh. Pretty

[lament turtle]

heres my sheet

[warm herald]

The design looks nice

[tropic halo]

damN
i cannot read that

[pastel iris]

wait so it's a traditional art iz?

[tropic halo]

make the font biggers

when it comes to comm sheets
readability is more important that aesthetics

[pastel iris]

then you'd be worry less about chargebacks, because chargebacks happens mostly on digital arts

digital arts counts as intangible items by paypal standards, which means your seller protection won't apply

[tropic halo]

you can add in your invoice terms that its a digital good and it cant be shipped

and theres a check boxs or sumn if youre using the us paypal

[lament turtle]

yes its traditional

here its bigger

[pastel iris]

I personally stated that the customer pays for the process of the drawing not the finished commission, which means it's a service

[lament turtle]

im not sure i understna

[abstract dust]

Don't worry dizzy, you're not alone.

[bleak bloom]

basically its the difference between buying a finished artwork and buying the service of creating the drawing.
it makes a difference because as a service you have to consider things like the rate per hour.

[pastel iris]

I get it iz, I don't even know how to explain it in order to make people understands easily

perfectly explained AR, well done

[bleak bloom]

glad to be of service.

[stuck robin]

you are paying for the process of someone drawing not to mention the hours of work and practice that have gone into refining their skills

[pastel iris]

also, with you're selling service instead of your final commission, the chargeback will likely fail, for example if the client claims if the final commissioned art doesn't match with your art style and files the report as "the item is not as it described"

[lament turtle]

i dont reall ywanna provide rate per hour

considering i work sca ttered asf fuck

here i ts bigger

[tropic halo]

whats the quality youre working with?
cause i really cant read it

[lament turtle]

eee ill just take a screenshot

[stuck robin]

i cant read the stuff under the pictures, but i can read everything on the right column fine

[lament turtle]

heres a pdf file

should work

are the prices good?

or are they too expensive

[lament turtle]

please ping me if ever u respond!!

[steady plover]

I have no idea, I think it's too much but I have no idea

[gloomy turtle]

@lament turtle to me they seem expensive, especially compared to other commissions I've seen. Then again, those were digital art, but since you're not including shipping price, it already seems too high.

[steady plover]

That's what I feel but let me ask someone what they think

[stuck robin]

prices seem reasonable to me idk anything tho

[pastel iris]

I'm not well versed about traditional arts iz

so I can't tell if it's good or not

[deft zinc]

trad art costs, usually

[lament turtle]

using my finger to do digital art has worked well but highkey want a drawing tablet

@lament turtle those prices are definitely reasonable

and for traditional art u have to take into account the resources/supplies used

you should charge more for tattoo designs in my opinion @lament turtle

[strong quail]

saving the best for last, im working on leah now 😌

[deft zinc]

oh, tattoo dedign is 15$ only? thats smor amount

i think it needs example too and better price

coz this part was the only one unclear for me from the sheet

[strong quail]

saving the best for last, im working on leah now 😌
@strong quail not me doing literally 300% effort on her bc i love her sm

SO MUCH EFFORT I FORGOT HER SUSPENDERS SMH

[lilac surge]

ok so im gonna try making a resource pack in minecraft with Stardew Valley items

Wish me luck (kinda)

[mossy leaf]

Good luck on your venture to make a resource pack in minecraft!

[lament turtle]

Awesome simba

Are those... souls?

Looks too cool

Yeah

This is the character description
Character #50 Master Knight/Soul Linker
Here we have an Intelligent/Soul attained weapon who takes the appearance of a heavily armoured elven knight, the physical body is the weapon (If that wasn't already clear) meaning the knight form can take massive amounts of damage before converting back to its original sword form, due to its secondary job of Soul Linker he is capable to absorb the essence of things in the nearby area

Awesome

So If he was to walk into a graveyard he could power himself up by absorbing any lost souls

[lament turtle]

okie thank you guys! i really wanted to charge less but lemme give you an example

this over hereÉ

took me like a month to finish because im a student and i cant paint every day

that paper costs like 40$ for 15 sheets

arches paper is 80$ for 20 sheets

the watercolors i use are 60$ for like 10 tubes or so

my paintbrushes themselves are over 10$ each

the inks are also over 10$ each and the dip pen is like 15$

@gloomy turtle @steady plover @lament turtle (mbd for the pings but yall were the ones who commented!)

[steady plover]

The resources cost alot, also takes alot of time so that's gonna look bad for when getting costumers, I think prices are fine

[lament turtle]

i was realyl stressed cuz like when i looked at normal digital commissions they were all like between the 15$ to 40$

my least expensive is a tattoo design and the rest are all 25$ at least

i dont count shipping bc shipping can vary from 3 to 20$

if its under 10$ usually i

usually ill include it in the commission price

[warm herald]

Thats a lot of material cost. I now understand the prizes better

[lament turtle]

i used to charge like 25$

for everything

[lament turtle]

Why 58 characters?

Just a random project I did, originally started it back in college

Oh also the character details
Character #30 Gunner/Man-at-Arms

Here we have Walker who is a Tiefling who wears a special power suit which allows him to have an excessive number of weapons on him at any given time for example he is currently equipped with:

• Shoulder-Mounted Gatling Gun
• Twin rocket pods: located in a pop out section of his neck guard
• 9mm machine guns: located in his neck guards
• Double barrel 9mm machine guns withing his left gauntlet
• Energy based shield gauntlet: left arm
• Single headed Axe
• Arm mounted Gatling gun: Right arm

He also has a combat assistant droid fitted with two heavy caliber and six mico-missile pods and a small energy blaster, acting as his navigation system he had a custom droid based on a Ghost called Alice

Dang nab

Imagine having a huge project like that

It's wasn't even for any subject I was taking lol

It's was just something to waste time on in between my actually subjects

Ah

Seems like an amazing thing to do though

I had a friend draw a very basic character template for me to use since I can't keep proportions in line and these are first edition characters https://www.deviantart.com/sir-simba/gallery/7538819/roleplay-jobs-2007

Ohh

Hands off to friend

I like your deviant art pfp a lot lmao

And then sone time last yeah I decided to start drawing again after almost 10 years of not doing anything and thought I would renew an old project and update it

My pfp is a emote from gaiaonline

ah

okay

I have another 40+ character still to design and drawn out of a possibly 340+

[steady plover]

Imagine having skills at art

[lament turtle]

I don't have any skills, im just good at replicating simple designs from other peoples art and incorporating it into my designs

[steady plover]

I'm only good at pixel

anime ways will forever allude me

Damn you anime!

[lament turtle]

Is that chika

[steady plover]

Si

[lament turtle]

It looks okay Cake

smh

https://tenor.com/view/chika-lenny-face-eyebrow-raise-kaguya-sama-love-is-war-gif-16096785

[steady plover]

Lol

There's 2 I hate

I don't share those 2

Because they look shit

Props to you if you can guess who the top image is based off of

Any guesses @lament turtle
If you guess right I'll share the 2 drawings i hate the most

[lament turtle]

Do what I do, trace body templates and work that way

I start with empty templates and work from there

Artist 1. stourangeau  
Artist 2. kate-fox 
Artist 3. anastasia-berry 

Deviant art search those names they have beautiful templates

[steady plover]

But any guesses.

[lament turtle]

No dice

[steady plover]

I don't think anyone will get the top drawing

But any guesses

[lament turtle]

I... I can't guess the first one

The second one is midoriya-kun tho

[steady plover]

The top 2 are the same person then the one below it is someone else

[lament turtle]

Ah

[tropic halo]

imagine knowing anime names

[lament turtle]

I don't know cake

[tropic halo]

more progress

slowly but surely doing it

[vagrant crow]

Looks cute!

[tropic halo]

thanks

i couldve been done already but im lazy

[vagrant crow]

I draw like a snail so lol

[steady plover]

Looks great
@lament turtle
This is the closest I could find to the image I used for ami
But it was a diffrent image I used

But I'll share my worst 2 peices of anime art

[vagrant crow]

Does anyone else just constantly start drawings or projects but never actually finishes anything? I legit think I’ve forgotten more stuff than I’ve finished at this point

[steady plover]

Yeah me too

Same

[vagrant crow]

Idk what to do about it, I keep losing whole drawings in hidden layers lol

[steady plover]

I HATE these 2. There so bad

@lament turtle happy ;-;

[lament turtle]

ah

lol

[steady plover]

They sucl

Suck

I only like the eyes

[lament turtle]

[lament turtle]

[steady plover]

Imagine Shearching up anime characters looking for wholesome things and getting naughty things

[lament turtle]

Doesn't simply not happen

[steady plover]

Just search up Ami toradora and just see what pops up

[lament turtle]

Fuck

What the-

[tropic halo]

Does anyone else just constantly start drawings or projects but never actually finishes anything? I legit think I’ve forgotten more stuff than I’ve finished at this point
@vagrant crow i used to do that a lot

but ive stopped

i just try my best to finish stuff

even if i put it down and start sumn else
i try to go back

[steady plover]

Exactly @lament turtle

I just wanted normal ami toradora not that shit

[vagrant crow]

even if i put it down and start sumn else
i try to go back
@tropic halo I’ll try to keep trying too! Try to keep trying... well you know what I mean lol

[tropic halo]

yup

i have a folder of all my old unfinished art
i havent gone back to them cause i dont draw like that anymore

[unborn granite]

Progress on the house im making for my japanese inspired mod~

[vagrant crow]

Oh that’s rough. Are you going to try to bring them “up to date” with your more recent stuff?

[unborn granite]

I just need to give it like 10 hours of detail now (·-·")

[vagrant crow]

That house is super cute Jun!

[mighty bronze]

Finish projects!

[unborn granite]

thnks 💙

[mighty bronze]

and qiuot house

[unborn granite]

uwu

[vagrant crow]

Gonna have to make everyone take off their shoes in your traditional house! 😤

[unborn granite]

its my first time using asesprite so im learning alot with this house 😂

[mighty bronze]

[warm herald]

Im using Aseprite for nearly a month now and im still finding new features^^´

[unborn granite]

It doesnt look like it, but its a very complete program 👀

[warm herald]

Yeah. Its easy to get into, but there is still a lot of stuff you nead to learn about^^

Krita overwhelmed me at the start, so i like aseprite for being easy to start with.

And im only doing Pixelart at the moment so Aseprite covers all my needs.

[unborn granite]

Yeah, ive never used krita, but i had to learn photoshop so i remember how overwhelming it can get

[warm herald]

Yeah. The interface can be massive and intimidating^^´

[unborn granite]

As someone who has used MULTIPLE art softwares through the years, learning acesprite is a breather

[warm herald]

Nice^^

Aseprite and Krita were my first art softwares. I only knew paint before this.

[unborn granite]

heh, ive gone through ms paint, paint tool sai, photoshop (gave up on it), gale, medibang/firealpaca, photoshop (again but for school this time) and now i can add asesprite to the list lmao

[warm herald]

Great^^

[unborn granite]

im sure im forgetting some online programs in the middle somewhere

but didnt use em enough as if to say ive really "used" them

[lament turtle]

@lament turtle yeah ur prices are fine!

tbh i just use this sketches app on my phone and

ibis paint x

[tropic halo]

Oh that’s rough. Are you going to try to bring them “up to date” with your more recent stuff?
@vagrant crow i dont think so

[mighty bronze]

flats

It's not bad at all

[tropic halo]

i like it

[mighty bronze]

For Marshall I tried to add the shirt's stripes in myself instead to search for a texture and I think it looks way better this way!!!

[steady plover]

:0

if I had money I would give it all to You, more amazing cartoon art

[tropic halo]

@mighty bronze what is an art trade?

[mighty bronze]

"An art trade is a term is used to describe an agreed upon exchange of art media (classical, digital or physical), between two artists, as a gift, non-paid commission, or thank-you art."

I had to search for the better explanation lol

My brain goes brrr

[tropic halo]

ahh

never heard of that before
sounds fun

[mighty bronze]

It sure is, Izzy asked me to do one with her, am hype and interested \o/

[tropic halo]

i dont think im ready to commit to sumn like that yet

cause my work flow is pretty unpredictable

unless its a comm and ik i have a dealine to meet

but i really just end up taking days to finish one thing

[mighty bronze]

aren't we all... hehe... dies in crying tho surprisingly I did that vampires line art and shades in 2 days wth?? I just realized that

[strong quail]

honestly unhappy with how robin turned out

should i post her anyway?

[mighty bronze]

do it!

all art worth art!

[lament turtle]

right, random question for those who keep track of how long a picture takes from start to finish how long does it or how long can it take you to finish a single piece of work

typically a full day that's with concepting, development, design and inking. I have had a character take two days due to uncertainty in the development of the character

[tropic halo]

it really depends on how im feeling

i can crank out a drawing fully shaded and stuff in a couple horus

or i can take days

[echo mesa]

^^

[tropic halo]

ive been working on this one piece for days

i just draw a couple lines
and call it a day

then pick up again tomorrow

[echo mesa]

a mood 😔

[mighty bronze]

Same, tho if I get focused on a project I finish it in 2-3 days ig

[echo mesa]

i had a sketch i started last month
i ignored it until today, then just kinda
did the sketch and fully coloured it today

[tropic halo]

i cant tell you how long ive been staring at this shoe

[mighty bronze]

how long does it or how long can it take you to finish a single piece of work
@lament turtle (sry for the ping i just like this question)
personally i take between 2-6 hours start to finish for a nice digital piece usually across 2 or more days unless i have a lot of time and energy

[tropic halo]

its really just
dependent on what im drawing
and whats going on in my life as im drawing

[pastel iris]

comms always took me more than 1 day

I mean almost every art actually

[urban nexus]

i assume theres a pressure with comms so thats why

[pastel iris]

nah it's not about pressure, hell even I'm so fired up because of chasing money

it's just my style lol

[urban nexus]

ah thats fair

[pastel iris]

and also, sometimes OCD gets me

the drawing process doesn't actually take that long, sometimes I went too far and improvising the concept that my client gave me

so that's extra waste of time on thinking and experimenting lmao

good thing is.. it turns out my client likes it

[warm finch]

if i were to draw ike from fire emblem tho

he'd be buffed, hot, and MMMm

the ike i drew is a tad too skinny for the ike from FE

[tropic halo]

nah it's not about pressure, hell even I'm so fired up because of chasing money
@pastel iris this ^^

money is the best motivation

i can crank out sexy quality stuff in like
3 hours if im getting paid

especially when theyre paying extra for a rush order

[pastel iris]

well butter, I also buff up every guy with steroid peccs and girls with curvy bodies, not just FE stuff

not because I'm into it, but that pulls more viewers 😆

[warm finch]

LOL ok that's a good point XD

i like drawing girls curvy too, but in a way that it gives a good angle something like that

[tropic halo]

tfw all your girls are flat and wear baggy clothes and all your guys are skinny and wear baggy clothes ish

[pastel iris]

heh nae, most of artist apparently answers lots of stuff when they were asked their purpose on drawing, here I am saying my purpose is "money to feed myself"

[tropic halo]

my only buff ish drawing was my rock lee thing
