@agile reef looking dope already
also, in my view, a warden foxhole could perhaps use a darker tarp cover with more points of connection (6~8 or something).
Idk why, but I feel that is a possible differisation of the Colonial and Warden foxhole

@high ledge where's the infantry support ?
He's next to the tank. (But on a serious note the soldiers will be too small for me to have enough patience to draw and add in details. Maybe I'll add some more once I Finnish designing a new tank)
Plus if we are being really accurate @high ledge I'd need to add in a half-track and/or armored car to better fend off enemy infantry

Add dark green as a circle detail

I did a thing:
You're not Wardens. Remember that.
That's what they told us at training.
We won't be charging the enemy lines and winning the war. We won't be the famed heroes people talk about.
We're to follow orders and do our part. And that part is simple.
You're not Wardens. They are actual soldiers.
That's what officer said to Barry, who I met at the camp.
Since our training was limited to recognizing uniform colours and how to handle a rifle, maybe a one-way radio.
Appearently, we do not need to know more.
You're not Wardens. You have other tasks.
That's what they said when they took that guy with glasses. I think he was called Mike.
He managed to escape conscription thanks to his academic background. But war catches up to everyone.
Now, he's sitting in that bricked hole, surrounded by poisonous fumes, grinding powders for hours and making sure the guns keep firing.
You're not Wardens. They are too busy with important tasks.
That's what that old bearded grandpa said.
I've seen him once, when we were passing by the tower in the Cove. Some say he hasn't gone down from it for years.
I wonder if that's his voice I sometimes hear in radio at Town Hall.
You're not Wardens. You're expendable.
That's what I heard from the guy in the foxhole next to my pillbox.
We're to sit here and hold the ground until releived. If relieved. I joked that at least we already have our graves dug.
That's the last time we talked. He hasn't stopped shotting even when HMG opened up on him.
We're not Wardens.
They are right.
But se still do our part.
We're Auxilliary Infantry.
May I ask for a feedback?
loud walrus
feedback
there you go ^^
More seriously, that's nice, the concept of "You are not Wardens" at the beginning of each paragraphs (correct me if It's wrong) makes an interesting aspect and creates some depths in the backstory we can imagine about when we read

I was trying to build some anticipation, as to who exactly is the text referring to and make somewhat of a punchline at the end, revealing that it's actually the A.I.

oh god, now I will start reffering to AI defences as auxiliary infantry
icy bronze
i had this headcanon, that Wardens and Colonials are the actual, trained, core army, while defences are mannded by conscripts (Colonial) and sentries (Warden). Somewhat akin to US Army Rangers or Airborne compared to GIs, during WW2.

Tips for drawing people?
sharp bobcat
Break people down into basic shapes and draw that before adding details, flip your canvas or take a picture of the work and flip it to find things you dont like from a fresh perspective,
And don't be afraid to fail. Good pictures are drawn on a mountain of bad ones.
When you have time, do studies of different parts of the body. Draw a lot of hands, draw a lot of feet, draw a lot of faces, etc etc etc
remote lynx
^ all of the drawing tutorials I've tried
Reminds me of the time I posted that pic on a forum, but I got a warning for it because it had the word "fucking" between "the" and "Owl".
high ledge
Study some good anatomy and form guides and literature.
Seriously, learning realism is the best way to git gud.
high ledge
Like, even the /ic/ memes do have a point.
Don't start out stylizing or you will be sorry.
Style should be what you want to draw, not what you can only draw.
Studies are pretty important for getting those fundamentals down
It may sound daunting, but what isn't? It is a skill that takes a long time to develop and a lot of effort to be put into.
One piece of advice, make it a very very regular thing. But don't try to cram in one instance.
One hour a day every day is much better than one entire 6-8 hour day a week drawing.
Even tiny things like contour practice, 30 second-5 minute drawing exercises, etc etc are all good things to do you can do in only setting aside like 15 minutes.
Just draw as often and consistently as possible.
wind night
And don't do what I do, and try to draw with a mouse. I would really not recommend it
high ledge
Yeah, I've heard that iPad pro and especially the Apple Pencil are actually nice to draw with.
wind night
They're better than the lower end Wacom tablets
high ledge
I have an old cintiq 13HD and an intuous pro.
Definitely.
The new base intous aka bamboo under a different name, aka absolutely shit for anyone other than beginners, is bad.
wind night
I mean, anything under the Intuos pro is shit from them
high ledge
Also, Wacom coming out with an """affordable"""" display tablet finally.
Cintiq 16 is like only around 600 dollarydoos.
Huion and others are actually getting better and better.
So now Wacom has actual competent competition.
loud walrus
But Wacom Got the custoemr services which has proven how efficient they were. Not Huion
As professional 3D Artist, I can tell you I prefer to invest money on a Wacom (even if it's more expensive) but I'm safe my tablet will be taken in charge and fixed if any problem happens
high ledge
I mean, sure, but the tech was also behind, which now is catching up. That parallax was god awful and the driver support... well, was there any? :^)
wind night
Were there even drivers?
loud walrus
on my own I never get any prblms with WACOM
but a friend from same bachelor who bought a Huion got problem with it only 6 months after
high ledge
Also, if you are some amateur artist that draws just animu girls, would you buy a 22 Wacom for like 1600USD or a 20 Huion for like 500?
loud walrus
if you're "amateur" as u say
wind night
Or an Ipad pro for 1000
loud walrus
a bamboo is perfectly enough
wind night
Bullshit
loud walrus
for 70-80$
high ledge
reee
loud walrus
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wind night
The bamboo is literally what you get for throwing shit at a wall and flattening what stuck
loud walrus
bamboos start to lack of efficiency when you tend to make "professional work"
but if it's for "fun art" and "one art from time to time" bamboo si way cheapier than Intuos Pro
also enough for what you need 😃
maybe you'll lack of some "pen precision touch" but frankly, I got bachelor friends who made their 3 years of studies with a bamboo and made good work with it
high ledge
Honestly for a display tablet huion is the way to go.
loud walrus
up to you 😃 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
high ledge
It makes it much easier. I understand the whole issue with normal tablets, but you can't really get a good display tablet for much cheaper.
loud walrus
it's just a personal choice after, but from what I saw working in this sector, I encountered both solutions
and got issues with Huion
we were 25 in my bachelor, 22 owning Wacom, 3 owning Huion
high ledge
All I am saying is that Huokn has gotten better on the tech side.
wind night
It is
loud walrus
if it works well for 6 months good
wind night
They're actively competing with Wacom now
loud walrus
but for 100$ I hope ur tablet will susain for years
high ledge
And as much as I love my Wacom, I rather it not have a partial monopally on tablets.
loud walrus
what Wacom tablets do
wind night
The 100$ wacom tablets only last like... 6 months before they go to shit
If you want a wacom tablet which lasts you're starting at 600$+
loud walrus
my Intuos Medium sustained 3 years without problems
high ledge
So I cheer on Huion and others when they get closer in parity.

and 3 years with day to day usage

Wacom still is the best quality wise and in almost every way other than price. And for most people that just have hobbies and aren't career artists, non Wacoms are applicable and acceptable to use considering price.

I still have my old bamboo from years ago. I am pretty sure it still works.

Yeah, I draw on my mouse personally, mainly because I'm just getting into this as a hobby and so I'm not going to invest anything right away, probably should start on a physical format though anyways, not much advantages to digital with my current tools abailable, even though digital stuff can allow you to screw up more without worrying as much.

@rancid carbon Woah, cool drawing dude, I can see the improvement

buoyant crest
@magic isle well, contrary to many people believe, you can in fact draw with a mouse
There wre artist who are quite good at it and I did it when I was younger
On top of that, you can also make vector art, in which case you may prefer mouse over pen
I used to make pictures in Word, got quite good ar it as well
pulsar grail
From personal experience: the mouse trumps the tablet in vector art
Normal drawing I usually end up doing 50/50 (mouse/tablet)
buoyant crest
Well, in the end, it really dependa what kind of art you want to make; pfcourse, you are not supposed to dive right into a style (that way you get those awkward anime girls, I will not rant about that today), but you can set a focus on what to learn
So if you want to draw comics, I advise learning to draw, epic battles, I advise detail, that kinda stuff can make a difference (not that you should not learn alllll the things, but a good order can it more enjoyable)
viscid umbra
I know it's late but I have a huion @high ledge and it's been really solid for me. There is parallax but I honestly tune it out and dont mind it. I dont see the issue people have with parallax as I just focus on the cursor not the pen

Hey guys, if any of you are interested in tanks & ww2 in particular I'm currently 3D modelling a german Panzerkampfwagen V ''Panther'' ausf.G for my final assignment in school! So if you're interested you can follow my progress on deviantart where I upload new wips everytime I work on it! https://www.deviantart.com/wirpy3d/gallery/
The goal with the model is to make it RTS compitable, think like CoH, MowAS2 etc.
loud walrus
low poly artistical direction also ? @high ledge
for a game engine, it shouldn't exceed 12k polys and you'll have a serious work to do with UV Mapping, Layouts and the Normals direction X_X Good luck 👍🏽
high ledge
@loud walrus Not low-poly direction.
It will exceed 12k polys. I've looked at CoH models & some other RTS game models and a lot of big vehicles like tanks etc usually are around the 15-20k mark depending on when the game is releasef
Now days large amounts of polys are pretty easy to handle for a modern computer, its more the large amount of texture maps in high resolution that slows you down 🤔
I love UV-mapping most of the time so hopefully that wont be a problem, Maya's UV tools they added in 2018 are a huge improvement on earlier versions lol
loud walrus
and that's why I spoke to you about low poly 😃 (I work myself on the video game sector as 3D hard surface artist) ^^ and I can ensure you, you should make 15-20k polys maybe but it's your high poly
to pull out textures you'll apply on a model owning less than 10k no ?
You make high poly details textures to apply on your low poly mesh
and you save time,rsources, and also computer perf ^^
loud walrus
exactly
high ledge
planned*
high ledge
Pretty much I suppose

also I use Maya too and for video games, from what I heard from ex-bachelor mates who work on studios trough the world, they often use 3DS Max more than maya apparently

on my own I only have a portfolio I cleaned up few months before. and I don't participate in contests 😄
too much professional artists which force your work to be blown up in the middle of the senior artists work ^^
loud walrus
it's part of the challenge 😄 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
loud walrus
and many guys made pin-up 3D work only to get a huge number of views. I discussed with one of my 3D teachers who is a veteran in the sector (worked with Pixar as co-director, Lucasfilm ILM and so on) he told me "Hard Surface artist are those who must furnish the highest effort to be hired, since their work will be less shown than 3D Chara design"
high ledge
Yeah not really that appealing to the masses as a female charscrer would be 🙂
loud walrus
exactly
between a cool vehicle and a cute appealing Pin-up, peoples will tend to look at the pin-up and not at the Vehicle
even if this one is better than the previous one
Btw It's so cool to meet another GUy studying then working on the 3D VFX sector 😄
high ledge
Yeah but w/e, they still need us 😎
loud walrus
yes
high ledge
Dont know if I like hard edge or enviormenrs more lol
loud walrus
that's different 😃
high ledge
Both havr their appeal and joy
loud walrus
hard surface for me (vehicles/assets/mechas)
high ledge
We're allt differenr 😃
split fox
Those feet are ridiculously large for a mech
high ledge
@loud walrus Looks cool! Only complaint I would say is doesn't look like he can rotate his arms so much 🤔
Or maybe its supposed to be like that
loud walrus
eah it cans in act ^^
but It's not as a regualr arm
more liek the arm can rotate on Z axis from its shoulder
and the shoulder got a hinge to rotate around Y axis
I show you @high ledge :
high ledge
ok
loud walrus
first picture si the rotative hinge of the shoulder
second is a close-up about "body details of infrasctructures"
@split fox I was forced to make those ridiculous wide feet "claws" because it must carry the whoel weight of the mecha
split fox
ok but it can barely lift it's foot forwards or up hill
loud walrus
and when this mecha walks, it puts his gravity point on the rear, which require longer rear claws to stabilize it and prevent it from falling
split fox
spreading weight does not equal big claws
loud walrus
they act as counter weights
split fox
Why not just make the foot larger and put weights in the foot instead of thin stick-like claws
loud walrus
Because it was firstly designed liek this (I took inspirations from the Round pods of the At-AT from Star Wars) and added claws to reinforce stability
split fox
thick toes will increase surface area touching the ground and foot-based weight, making it more stable
Claws are probably better for lighter mechs that jump around and stuff and need less weight spreading and more precise grip
loud walrus
but I agree the foot need some fix
remote lynx
🤔 (not mine btw)
loud walrus
Yeah I know ^^ I'll fix those feet later 😄
I'm also thinking the same, they are weird

If getting models out is really that easy as it shows... I could honestly go out of my way to grab the warden player models and give them animayshuns of distinctly lazy quality

Infact it's pretty easy

And then do evil things to all of the guns

@pallid tangle How do you rip game models & you woildn't want to upload their vehicles on mega or something?
buoyant crest
I am doubtfull you are legally allowed to just upload those models to somewhere
final forge

They should really watermark them and release them publicly for people to 3D print and such
pallid tangle
@solar wraith @high ledge
I used Umodel. And I'm planning to port the assets to source and in the sfm workshop(for non commercial purposes).
well
as long as the devs are okay with it
i wish the devs could reply so I wouldn't be sued or smth lmao
high ledge
Hopefully devs wouldn't have problems with them being used for educational purpose I suppose
:C

if the devs say nono, imma just use it for personal stuff unless they also dont want that

@frail depot If you feel like drawing, go ahead and do it.
I assure you, it won't come out half as bad as you imagine it.
high ledge
Yeah, I'm putting 10 denars that it will be really good
high ledge
@frail depot WIP what think?
icy bronze
is that M60 Patton?
Looks amazing, except for the gun barell.
it seems too fat and lack of perspective on it is also kind of upsetting.
frail depot
HOT
It does seem rathet thicc gun
But it could be the L/44
which is a 120 mm
which looks ridiculous on the leopard 1
IO like it though, such nice curves
high ledge
It is the 120mm leo
I chose it just because it's ridoncilous. All that's left are the wheels now
nimble void
Leo 1a1 L/44 😄
buoyant crest
@high ledge That is a Leopard as if I have ever seen one
damn man, your drawings are so neat
do you use a lightbox or something?
high ledge
A what?
I use a ruler to get the basic dimensions
And do the rest myself
Sometimes when really desperate I use an angle measuerer. @buoyant crest
buoyant crest
oof
idk how it is called in English, I assumed a light box, but it is basically two glass plates and a lamp; on the first plate, you lay something you want to trace/use as refference, then put the other plate on top of it with your drawing. Then you put a very bright lamp beneat which will shine so hard to the point the picture and your paper will get transparent and you kind of trace it
It was used to make copies of sketches back in the days, in situations you may not want to use Carbon paper
A makeshift variant I used as a kid was just holding the ref against a window and put a piece on top of it and then let the sun shine thru it
high ledge
Aaah alas I don't. That's cheating
buoyant crest
well, it has some artistic uses
remote lynx
Leo 1A1 L/44, hate that fucker in War Thunder
buoyant crest
for example if you want repeated drawings on a paper
or if you want to safe your sketch in case you ruin the line art
buoyant crest
exactly
high ledge
Yeah, I mean I do the window thing sometimes when I want varients of something, so I end up making the first on in lime 2 hours and then the other 4 dudes take me 10min
buoyant crest
F for the lightboxes
@high ledge welp, there is a special tool for it which doesnt ruin your arms, can be used any time of the day, and is generally cool thing
remote lynx
You remind me of the lightbox with a mirror that people would use to show transparent line pictures on walls
buoyant crest
you can make them with two picture frames and a few pices of wood
remote lynx
you know the one I mean
remote lynx
ye, sort of projector, it had a specific english name, but I can't remember
buoyant crest
was the Dutch word, lol, but ok
remote lynx
Only ever saw that thing in use once
buoyant crest
It was used to draw an epic dinosaur skull of my then brother's room. They project the line art, then used white paint to "fill it in." It had been there for a decade and a half, even when I moved into the room, but it has been painted over by my mom a few days ago for repurposing the room
high ledge
Hey can I get some tips on how to get desperation, depression and or melancholy out of a character?
buoyant crest
make eyes happy
glad sphinx
I'd recommend just looking up manga
buoyant crest
I'd recommend not doing that, as (and here I go) not knowing core drawing aspects will never make any picture look good, how amazing your tricks are
I can rant about this for days, so I cut myself short right here
glad sphinx
Artists learn tricks naturally, it's their way of learning whats better than not
so weh
buoyant crest
Kinda disagree on that tbh, but I have had this talk way too much before
glad sphinx
Anime's not a true art to be learned from
buoyant crest
@high ledge can you also show a bit?
glad sphinx
but it could be a start
high ledge
Show a bit? I haven't started
glad sphinx
welp
buoyant crest
ah, but I need to know what level we are on
high ledge
I asked for tips to know how to start
buoyant crest
what kind of style do you draw in?
glad sphinx
some sketches?
high ledge
Wait here
buoyant crest
((please say traditional european comic))
high ledge
Cartoonish like this
buoyant crest
hmmmm
high ledge
What?
I need something that looks like this
But on the verge of throwing itself off the bridge
Emotionaly that is
glad sphinx
just make the whites smaller I'd say
and kind of looking on the ground
not straight
high ledge
Aaah you mean a thousand meter stare?
Could be. I tried looking up something on Google but what o got was weird
high ledge
I'll try. If all else fails I'll resort to copying the face of sayori in that weird doki doki game. She doesn't look happy hangin there
high ledge
But this isn't anime so might be toigh
loud walrus
Well is anyone working or knowing a Google docs/odt file/Txt file where every nodes of Substance Painter and/or Designer with their english names are listed please ?
high ledge
Tough*
loud walrus
I didn't find any list even on their official website
and it's a pain to spend 1 hour looking for the exact name because the list doesn't displayevery nodes (some must be correctly written to be shown)
glad sphinx
Artists do take inspirations from other so can't judge that
high ledge
Green the hanging scene from doki doki is what I'm looking for but less... Dead. Like 80% of that
glad sphinx
Won't be perfect but as long as you work on it
high ledge
Can't see a way to properly transform it though
glad sphinx
Well, mby you shouldn't try bring in a lifeless into something that has to show some emotion
high ledge
Thing is, the character I'm making is an empty shell, so dead is probably best
Hmm lemme try
See how it goes
glad sphinx
in that case just make the whites smaller and bit greyed out being focused on the ground
high ledge
Thanks
buoyant crest
(took me a second, dont have discord anymore on my phone) There are a bunch of different art styles go along with your styles, and it is often finding one that works the easiest for you and slowly work to harder ones. Here I have a quick assemble of eyes I drew quite quickly. Learned those the hard way
loud walrus
Well is anyone working or knowing a Google docs/odt file/Txt file where every nodes of Substance Painter and/or Designer with their english names are listed please ?
buoyant crest
The true core of eyes is the third row pretty much imo, but as you can see, there are some options
and there are many different styles outside of what I just scribbled
high ledge
It just struck me. It's 11pm, I'm listening to happy go lucky me while drawing a dude who's about to hang himself. The irony is too good
buoyant crest
but emotion can be quite hard if you dont know where to start, easiest is trying to make the face you want yourself in the mirror and try to find key characteristics
It can be in many things tho, and exaggeration is the best method. But for me, this was quite a hurdle, I think I have drawn over a 100 eyes in all kinds of styles, still havent foundmy true fit
Key factors tho: how far it is closed, pupil size, eyebrows, skin around face (in case you go detailed) and, last but not least, relative
the last one is important, because having two different eyes can envoke a large range of emotions and character types
Simple example is someone raising one eyebrow
Hopes this helps a bit, otherwise, I can maybe try to find some reffs for you and you can work from there
high ledge
Hey uuuum I'm drawing hanging sayori to get that dead feel out. I keep making the mouth look lewd
God damn it
Fine, I prefer sexual tension while Im tieing a noose sure!
glad sphinx
I think you have to go through this alone
high ledge
I need more alcho- apple juice
buoyant crest
@high ledge ,,,,,, some people find harm arrousing, like some kind of weird fetish, and yearly, several people die while due to fuck ups
And I think you meant to say grain juice
high ledge
Hehehe sure. Apple juice looks more like beer though... Fuck it I'll draw my character piss drunk
Who needs deep thoughts
buoyant crest
The critical acclaim that consumption of alcoholic beverages to free oneself from burden can sometimes back fire into (semi) chronical issues, like alcohol addiction, and due to failing of the community to address or assist these kinds of people results in countless unnecessarily deaths, all the while other harmful substances are kept far from the pubic and possession of these quite often less harmful drugs is punished harshly, all the while alcohol keeps being advertised on TV and billboards simply because of its economic value? It is however you word it... @high ledge

When I said those things I was saying "look I can't draw someone looking suicidal, give me tips" but in a very bad humor way
Also I fixed the mouth so that's something
high ledge
@buoyant crest Ok now this is the moment bof truth. The way I'm drawing my character bis without mouth, but instead with mustache and beard. Now how do I get those to coincide with this
tawny brook
