See not a result, but a process

remote lynx
#

it's just not there

dire plinth
#

Not from your imagination, nobody can. We all use references.

#

You cannot simply make sfuff without seeing something first.

remote lynx
#

The only thing I can see is the end product in my head

dire plinth
#

Invent a colour or an animal, for example, you can't.

remote lynx
#

But it's not an image I can copy

dire plinth
#

Okay. That is for now.

karmic stream
#

There is hard work put into it you need to weigh if the hard work is worth it. I say for me yes and encourage you to keep trying. There are many plateaus to art skill. You will eventually start to see the image before but it literally takes man hours.

dire plinth
#

Well, what I said was philosophycal

remote lynx
#

you need to weigh if the hard work is worth it.
Only if I actually enjoy doing the work. The result doesn't matter if I can't enjoy the process

dire plinth
#

Try to draw objects in your room. Have you tried that?

karmic stream
#

sometimes it takes a different approach to what you are used to. Like not working digitally but with paint and getting messy. lose control over being precise. Or practice from photos. Do copies of art from artist you like.

dire plinth
#

Like, 3 times? Looking how much you improved from last time? I mean, Julian worded something much better than me. We encourage you to keep trying because simply said, why not?

#

Oh, I do copies from rembrandt. It is a disaster.

remote lynx
#

I can try drawing stuff that's in my room, but I won't enjoy it because I'll only end up looking at my own failure.

dire plinth
#

But if is fun in the end to see how bad I am but how it slowly gets to approach to the drawing I try to make

remote lynx
#

it's not fun to see how bad you are.

#

it never is

dire plinth
#

It is

remote lynx
#

it not

dire plinth
#

Why is that? In fact, yo uare always worse than somebody else, so why nof make fun of it?

remote lynx
#

my own failures bully me, so no it's not fun

dire plinth
#

Cause you leg them do it.

karmic stream
#

I used to have an old deviant art account with art I never want anyone to see now. At the time I could not believe art is enjoyable because everyone was better then me. I realized I was trying to enjoy it based on other people liking my art. But no one looked at my page cause I was a bad art student lol.

remote lynx
#

I refer back to the sushi comic

dire plinth
#

My spelling, god.

remote lynx
#

I used to have an old deviant art account with art I never want anyone to see now.
Mine's full of writing

dire plinth
#

Well, you can write, if it is more enjoyable than drawing

remote lynx
#

But I had fun writing it at the time, so I kept doing it until I got better

dire plinth
#

After all, nobody pushes you to do anything.

#

Do whatever and love doing it.

remote lynx
#

if it is more enjoyable than drawing
tfw sometimes you cry your eyes out instead

#

lol

dire plinth
#

Cause life is not all shades. It got lights too. ;)

karmic stream
#

XD so I took myself entirely off line, I still showed art to teachers and artist friends but I stopped trying to make people like my art to 'enjoy the reaction'. And started doing hundreds of studies. I was told to draw things I could not and always focus on what I thought I was worst at. I did and still do.

dire plinth
#

Julian, my painting? (:

remote lynx
#

:^)

dire plinth
#

Yeah, I mean, wherever you look, that is the best advice. Practice what you can't do and draw what you can do to take a break.

karmic stream
#

Its hard but I enjoy the challenge. And I too get really down at times and hate the art I am making. All artist do.

remote lynx
#

It's an odd mix though. To enjoy writing, but end up crying profusely at the same time. Markthink

karmic stream
#

thats art!

#

repost the art you wanted me to see

#

wamp

#

vamp

remote lynx
#

it was while writing my art contest submission hbeyes

dire plinth
#

Artists' paradox: to enjoy your art and to curse your life for making it.

#

Or the opposite XD

karmic stream
#

you can't prechoose what will be a success or what people will like you just gotta try

remote lynx
#

I do wonder if anyone ever figured out the last line of my submission

karmic stream
#

This looks good the forms and shapes seem good. The planes of the nose need work. Highlights and shadows. Right now the nose is lost in the cheeks and overall looks flat

remote lynx
#

I like to think the hints were there

dire plinth
#

Yeah, nose was a problem and I studied it's planes a bit more, I will try it again

karmic stream
#

work with highlights that are out of your comfort zone. go brighter then you think you should

dire plinth
#

Hmm, I always use highlights and shadows from the lainting

#

As you see I used purple for the pauldrons

karmic stream
#

yeah that reflective light looks good

#

the purple in the metal

#

is nice

dire plinth
#

Yeah, I simply use that concept that all object from the composition should share a bit of all colours, that painting technique.

karmic stream
#

Adam and I are doing a 100 portrait study at work. taking photos and doing paintings of them

dire plinth
#

Objects*

karmic stream
#

more contrast will bring out the nose

dire plinth
#

100 portrait study?

karmic stream
#

yeah

#

for fun not for work

#

this is number 3 for me

dire plinth
#

Yeah, nice, you got more? :D

#

Oooh

#

That contrast

karmic stream
#

but look at how dark the shadow is on the nose next to the highlight

#

yours doesnt need that level of it but it needs more to inform the shape

#

im up to 5 now lol well I am on the 5th

high ledge
#

water looks like a three year old

#

sorry just had to get something off my head

dire plinth
#

Oh, I see

#

I will try that.

karmic stream
#

otherwise its looking good!

#

water?

high ledge
#

yeah

#

someone just said that to me

#

and im so confused

karmic stream
#

lol totally off topic

dire plinth
#

Thanks julian, I will come back once I try the shading. :D man, you made me wanna jump out if my bed and start drawing at 3am, no kidding XD

karmic stream
#

later

dire plinth
#

Oh, btw, just wanted to ask, do you have a place where I can see your artwork? Like a deviant art, or something?

remote lynx
#

if no one got the hint that's alright. I'll just have to try harder come next art contest

karmic stream
#

all I have online right now is my old pre foxhole portfolio

dire plinth
#

That is good, I assume the foxhole stuff is confidential? :o

karmic stream
#

yeah but I am lazy and don't update anything like deviant art anymore lol

dire plinth
#

So you got more artworks for vehicles than the ones you normally find of I google it, right?

karmic stream
#

@remote lynx Ill have to reread it tomorrow at work it went over my head the first time

dire plinth
#

For example, the warden tank had 4 variations

karmic stream
#

yeah you can find all the foxhole art we have shown online

dire plinth
#

But where?

#

Or wait, on the website?

karmic stream
#

yeah. or google like foxhole light tank and youll find it

remote lynx
#

@karmic stream It wasn't obvious, I can tell you that.

#

feel free to ping me if you can't find it

#

or maybe it is obvious, I never did any testing

karmic stream
#

will do! and keep drawing and making art.

dire plinth
#

Oh, yeah, I found it.

#

Damn, how can you do them so clean? :o

#

Don't tell me you cut.

karmic stream
#

practice edge control

#

man hours!

dire plinth
#

Okay, that is what I assumed. Hmm, yeah, makes sense XD

#

You gave me something to play with, as always :)

karmic stream
#

good luck

#

@remote lynx Every artist goes through tough patches where they can't see the other side or getting better at art. I know you said your not enjoying the process or the cycle as you work but you will have major breakthroughs as you learn. Focus on improvements in your own art and don't compare yourself to 'the internet'. It bothered me for a long time too but you succeed with hard work and hours. You can take breaks and come back to it later. I actually study 3d modeling for a year and worked as a 3D modeler till I didn't like it anymore and focused on 2D art. But I could totally go back to 3D at some point. If your frustrated with 2D art go and write then come back to it when you want.

remote lynx
#

don't compare yourself to 'the internet'.
I never compare myself with the internet. I always compare myself with me. I compare the piece on the paper with what it's supposed to be.

dire plinth
#

And it never works out like you planned.

remote lynx
#

The only time I actually enjoy drawing nowadays is if I simply doodle with no picture in mind whatsoever

dire plinth
#

Most of the time it won't.

#

Well, do that

remote lynx
#

and thus most of the time I won't enjoy making it

dire plinth
#

You remember what you said about guitar?

#

It is still fun even if you don't know hos to play it.

karmic stream
#

compare your work to the pervious work you have done.

remote lynx
#

even there it would be worse tho

dire plinth
#

I mean, art is fun regardless. Be it drawing or writing, do what Julian said. Be better than you were with your last attempt. At anything in life, in fact.

remote lynx
#

You remember what you said about guitar?
It is still fun even if you don't know hos to play it.
That's because it's easy to make a melody, hard to make a song. Low floor, high ceiling.

karmic stream
#

sometimes it is but thats how you improve see where you went wrong for the next image you are going to make

dire plinth
#

Why worse?

remote lynx
#

Because a piece I spend 30 minutes on will always be worse than the piece I made 4 years ago that I spent 2 hours on.

dire plinth
#

Like if you cannot draw straight line draw 5 and try to do a more straighter one that the last one

cerulean anvil
#

Multiple lines gang assemble.

dire plinth
#

In time, we shoudl be talking about breaks of an hour 2, a day at max. Draw today, try tomorrow again. Not 2 years

karmic stream
#

Most lifedrawing lesson classes start with warming up by filling pages with random lines

#

just to practice!

remote lynx
#

right now I'm going to bed. Good talk, lads.

#

πŸ‘‹

dire plinth
#

See ya, wolf

karmic stream
#

later

dire plinth
#

Julian, were you the one who played with Terran's drawing?

karmic stream
#

painted over it yes

dire plinth
#

Or, might have been somebody else... who made the comic book style out of a drawing of terran marine

#

Ah, okay

karmic stream
#

yeah I coloured someone elses for fun

dire plinth
#

Yeah, so, when you got time and you see it fun, wanna try on those colonial warhammer soldiers I made? I am curious how would they look like. I promise I will colour them too and show you. :D

#

So that it won't be just you working or something, more like a fun comparison. It would be a good excercise for me too to see your approach on my own artwork and it helps me improve, right?

karmic stream
#

post them again

dire plinth
#

Sure

karmic stream
#

sure, can't right now but ill do it at somepoint for fun

dire plinth
#

Okay, I can't draw anymore too, I think I will go to sleep, but whenever you want.

#

Thanks a lot for the talk and see ya later.

#

Aw I missed all this art talk Sadcat

#

you want to be part of the counseling group too?

olive cove
#

I love talking art and techniques, etc

#

Not the best at explaining my thought processes when it comes to drawing, but I still like talking about it

buoyant crest
#

Talking art is fun!

#

I got a little visual arts group together on the uni and we draw sometimes together and challenge each other and then discuss the process we had in those 15 minute inks

dire plinth
#

@olive cove we can have one too :D

pulsar grail
#

So just to stir this place a bit up: what do you rather see in an artist? Great skill/technique or great idea/concept? (Iknow these aren't mutually exclusive but just for the sake of agrument let's say they are)

left wind
#

Is it even allowed to say both?

pulsar grail
#

Well, if we're discussing preference for one over the other; no

left wind
#

I'd go with great idea/concept

pulsar grail
#

Forgot to answer my own question :). But yeah I'm a bigger fan of people that come up with great ideas than seeing a beautiful piece of art

left wind
#

Guess we got something in common

dire plinth
#

@pulsar grail an artist shouldn't be seen from outside, rather, it should be seen from inside. You consider yourself artist, not other people. Most cases, an artist is a person that works in the art field od studies in the art field. An artist, though, means a person who values and creates art. Art can be understood as an enhancement of reality. Music means to take sounds and put them together in a piece that pleases and serves the sole purpose of entertainment. It is the abstract, not the logic domain. Another example is sculpting. You are not able to paint the eyes, so you make small holes to give the illusion of depth inside the pupils. That somehow also gives the illusion the statue follows you, as lighf get's inside the small holes from different angles. Now, through art, we discover ourselves. How? Simple: we all see art diferently. That tells something about us. Everything can be called art as long as it offers excitement, passion, love, hate, in a word, emotion. Symbolism in poetry does not use the mask of heroism and love or patriotic beliefs that romantism was revolving around. Instead, it exaggerates the crude, harsh reality we all live in through symbols with philosophic meanings. Makes us hate it, not love it, though, that hate tells something about us too. What do you think?

left wind
#

jesus that's an essay

pulsar grail
#

@dire plinth Ooof, that's a long read and a lot to think about, let me get back to that in a bit

dire plinth
#

A bit, yeah :P

#

Ah, sure

#

A bit was for pixelman

pulsar grail
#

In short what I mean: I rather see a stickfigure in an interesting pose than a lifelike portrait of somebody in a "meh pose"

#

I know I'm simplifying things here but I hope poeple get what I mean

dire plinth
#

That also tells me something about you

pulsar grail
#

I know πŸ™‚

dire plinth
#

Now, yes, originality, dynamism, etc. are more appreciated than static lifeless figures no matter the approach or style you do

#

An art piece should have techniques to tell a story, to be entertaining.

#

I see modernism and post modernism in all art types as best examples

#

They are ugly. Horrible.

#

But they tell a philosophic story behind them that is much more fascinating than realism

#

A portrait should tell a story too. If you cannot make a story out of stickmens, then you cannpt expect to make a lively portrait

#

So, I agree here it is about being interesting, as I said above, to give me emotions, not to look at a photo of my neighbour walking the dog.

#

That can also be interesting if you know to make it. But if you jsut copy the picture on a canvas... it will be just my neighbour walking the dog

pulsar grail
#

Exactly my point

#

That you can replicate something brilliantly in terms of technique doesn't make it necessarily interesting to me. Sure, I'll admire the skill but it won't "speak" to me

high ledge
#

hey guys, to decide a conflict zone in a project im doing

#

i need some votes

#

Vote Blue, Green, or Brown for me if you would like to help

pulsar grail
#

@high ledge I'm not sure what you're asking right now. But with very limited info I'd say conflict will arise where the "L" shaped lake is close to the sea, and that's assuming there is a channel or somthing like that connecting the sea with the lake

high ledge
#

Oh no

#

Im asking just choose a color

#

@pulsar grail

pulsar grail
#

Crap, my brain needs more info! πŸ˜„

olive cove
#

For me idk it's kind of both in terms of skills and concept, mostly concept, but the quality of the work depending on what it is matters to me because it can sometimes take you out if the work

high ledge
#

lol

pulsar grail
#

@high ledge With no further info, I'd say brown

olive cove
#

But since I can see the details, etc I can see the religious and world war influences and piece together better what this world is like

pulsar grail
#

@olive cove That's why I made it a false dichotomy :). But seriously, with way less skill I think the image would still kinda say the saem thing. Not as loudly sure. But still

#

Concept: Large guy with large gun protecting a "priest" like figure

olive cove
#

Yeah don't get me wrong you can still say the same thing with less skill, but since he's a skilled artist it really makes it a much more interesting image

pulsar grail
#

I wholeheartedly agree. But there's a reason I wanted a one or the other answer

#

Mainly because a lot of the discussions here seem geared towards the "skill" and not so much the story/idea

olive cove
#

I'm also kind of an indecisive person sometimes when it comes to art as well HBsweatdrop

#

I do really like the concepts people can come up with though

pulsar grail
#

And I do think sometimes the great ideas/concepts get forgotten because people think they lack the skill to make it beautifull

#

Which is exactly my point. Some ideas are worth sharing even though the artwork itself might not be up to the artists own bar

olive cove
#

In my art classes there are people who are not as skilled as me, but damn do they have a crazy amount more of creativity than I do (tried to not sound cocky when saying that)

pulsar grail
#

Nah that's not cocky at all

#

I for one consider my "talent" more in the idea department than in the skill department

@high ledge asking us to make countries and then not using them smh

@pulsar grail Haha, yeah you get the same idea

buoyant crest
#

You are a dick you know, Insanity?

olive cove
dire plinth
#

@karmic stream I tried what you advised me to do with a higher contrast between the tip of the nose and the side planes. What do you think now?

karmic stream
#

the forms are much clearer now. it and the face have much more depth

#

if you want to push yourself further here is an old masters painting that is amazing. Look at the highlights on the face and where they are group together. Studies and attempts like this will really level up your facial painting

#

Analyze and break down old masters paintings. Try to figure out how they did it and get in their head.

karmic stream
#

@dire plinth

dire plinth
#

Hmm, @karmic stream I will get home and start, any master to study in your opinion?

karmic stream
#

glad vale
#

@dire plinth nice artwork.

buoyant crest
#

@glad vale everybody can draw, it is just amount you think is required to be considered an artist

#

and frankly, that bar can be set very very low

karmic stream
#

study photography too

glad vale
#

@buoyant crest I can’t, I put forth my efforts of learning towards video-editing and limited photo-shopping.

#

Learning art would be an extremely time-consuming process that would probably not provide any monetary benefit for me.

#

The time wasted would outweigh the benefit

#

But I mean if I could learn in 24 hours and be amazing, sure.

buoyant crest
#

@glad vale art isnt about "monetary benefit", it is about fun (and deep messagesing)! And fun should always be the highest priority!

#

Because, again, being amazing is not a requirement; many people hold very strict views about arts as some aproaching photorealism or certain styles, but in reality it is barely that. Art is not a thing, it is a reason, motivation, method

karmic stream
#

I mean if I could learn in 24 hours and be amazing, sure! too XD

olive cove
#

Yeah who cares if you don't get paid for art, you can always find work that uses the skills you learn by improving at drawing, painting, etc. Graphic design is also a good path and concept art as well.

#

But if you see it as time wasted then idk what to say man, art is a good way a putting ideas together into something tangible as well and to just relax.

left wind
#

art can be relaxing, but that wasn't always the case

pulsar grail
#

I thought the whole idea of being an artist is to be paid in "exposure", right?

#

@olive cove Thanks for the link, that's some awesome work

#

@karmic stream what is your opinion on multiple layers in general, from using them to get an effect, to use them in illustration? All your thoughts, an open discussion. @olive cove pinged you so you won't miss the discussion this time :D

#

I saw artists that use layers a lot and artists that use just the principle of layers: adding colours (especially in environment art) on top of eachother, for grass for eg, starting from dark colours, up to light colours, but on the same layer. Now, I saw artists that say layers are rewarding and artists that say they need a lot to master, so they are not beginner friendly to work with, also artists that declared they are too complicated and you can mess up with them and they prefer single layer. Also, all of them were good artists with lovely artworks. From japanese chibi to the most complex concept arts or illustrations.

#

Changed a bit here and there to be easier to read what I said.

karmic stream
#

Lots of layers is fine I use tones of them. Many artist say use the tools that the technology gives you. Learn everything or as much as you can about photoshop or X painter program then choose tools that are right for you.

dire plinth
#

I see, so it's a matter of comfort, more than professionalism.

karmic stream
#

To again, level up in digital art. Don't abide by some forum or argument of is it right to use layers in PS. learn it. All professionals use layers. Your 'style' will dictate how you make art but learn more so you can confidently choose what you want.

dire plinth
#

Yeah, I understand, makes sense, I mean, 40 layers are hard to work with, but CTRL + click helps you to select them so it is not that hard at all.

olive cove
#

Yeah I use a ton of layers as well

karmic stream
#

How you get to a final piece of art is your choice. People will see and judge the final art and not care how you got there... unless you plagiarize... but thats a different topic.

left wind
#

layers are fun

dire plinth
#

Yeah, what do you consider to be called plagiate?

#

What is the limit of "cheating"? I did saw a fun comment the other day

karmic stream
#

Clearly copying someone else art and using it to advertise yourself or make money.

dire plinth
#

You use grass brush tools, that is cheating. I omly do grass by pen on my own. Laughed so hard, why would you give you a pain if Photoshop gives you a hand on that?

karmic stream
#

No

#

using someone elses brush is fine

olive cove
#

Yeah if it's a direct copy and you're taking credit for it and saying it's your own then that's bad

dire plinth
#

Yeah, I know, that was the comment

karmic stream
#

we can all go to an art store and buy the same paintbrushes but saying someoneelse work is your own. or clearly copying it and changing it a little.

olive cove
dire plinth
#

So I assume even using references can go too far? Afaik, a reference is by it's definition, well, a reference. I can take your tanks and add to them so long I am not tracing them and stuff like that. I also have to give you credit. But that is something else.

olive cove
#

The head in this ^ is done by another artist

#

I photobashed this for a D&D character and then I decided I wanted to actually make my own artwork of her so I started on the first one I posted

dire plinth
#

Yeah, but also those colonial space marine and sisters were made out of any warhammer reference I could get. They had to be accurate after all.

#

Plus foxhole artwork

olive cove
#

I don't know if I'd consider it plagiarizing, but I am using it as reference

karmic stream
#

studying someone's artwork to learn is ok. But if you then post it online as yours and not state its practice and give credit to the original. Then thats Bad.

olive cove
#

^

#

I probably am going to go back and change it a bit, since I'd rather not have to deal with any accusations if I posted it online

karmic stream
#

Lercas using that art he did for his own DnD is fine but its pretty close if he tires to sell it.

olive cove
#

Yeah I don't plan on doing that

dire plinth
#

Yeah, makes sense. I mean we are talking in my drawing abput 20 different photos with elements. In the end the result was different than anything on the internet. But I couldn't make a sister or a space marine without references, out of my head.

karmic stream
#

I figured you didn't but change up the hair a bit. the hair looks too close

dire plinth
#

So long as it doesn't look like, it's fine, I understand?

olive cove
#

Yeah I definitely gotta go ahead and do that

dire plinth
#

They do look pretty close

karmic stream
#

but since its personal art for him its fine

dire plinth
#

But it feels like it's your own and not tracing

olive cove
#

I need to find the actual actual original too because the second image isn't even the real original

dire plinth
#

Lol, that makes stuff intriguing to the bone XD

olive cove
#

Yeah I didn't trace it, tried my best to sort of replicate the hair, but I'll have to actually dial it back if I did decide to post it

#

Since it's too close lol

dire plinth
#

Hey, julian, do you have mech drawings? I am curious how you make them. I tried to do a lot of mechs

karmic stream
#

Heres a Anders Zron painting (this is the original) I chose to do a acrylic study of.

dire plinth
#

Here is one attempt

dire plinth
olive cove
#

Ooo

#

To both

karmic stream
#

I would not use that to advertise my self in a portfolio

dire plinth
#

Ofc, buf it is still saying a lot about your capabilities

#

So to advertise no

karmic stream
#

but it was a fun study

#

fun practice

dire plinth
#

But to use in a portfolio ian't that bad at all. Your approach on another artist's painting, isn't that fair?

#

Ofc, with credit gjven

karmic stream
#

IF you point out its a study you can do it. But it really doesn't prove anything about you other then you can copy.

#

if you are applying for a job you are better focusing on art for the job you are looking for. You won't get hired to do studies

#

the payoff for studies will be better original artwork

#

if you are not looking for work but are just posting art online then a section of studies is fine with credit given.

dire plinth
#

Hmm, okay, I understand.

olive cove
#

Yeah that's understandable

dire plinth
#

But you can have an website in which you have that as a portfolio, right?

#

No, wait

#

You can have a website in whcih you have a place for studies and still use it as a portfolio*

olive cove
dire plinth
#

This one, lercas, looks closer to yours

#

Though the eyes, they are staring towards you in your image

#

These are not

karmic stream
#

are all 3 different artist? including you XD

dire plinth
#

Oh, my bad, the opposite direction, not yours

olive cove
#

Well the second one was the original edited by me

dire plinth
#

Ooh

olive cove
#

I added the sci-fi outfit and the smirk and stuff

dire plinth
#

I guess we though the original is the 3rd one you shown and you used as reference the second one facepalm okay, my bad

olive cove
#

Yeah

karmic stream
#

Yes you can make a website and include a section of studies. It will communiicate to people the hard work you put into your hobby/ job/ art making effort. But it wok communicate your intentions for your own art or to a possible employee what you're art looks like.

#

AH got it lercas

dire plinth
#

So both were made by you, and you used thd 3rd one as reference. Eyes and hair are too close, imo

olive cove
#

I actually don't think I've ever done any real studies with other pieces of art, at least none that I can think of

dire plinth
#

Now, julian, that is what I needed. To have my own work but the study section is optional in a portfolio, right?

olive cove
#

Should probably get into the habit of trying it every now and then

karmic stream
#

yeah

#

you learn a lot from studies and breaking down others artwork.

dire plinth
#

But do you have anatomy studies and real life work or you did self-taught everything like me?

#

Idk to call it in english, in romanian it is static, dynamic and organic nature (:

karmic stream
#

Yeah the hair is to close IMO from the original. The shapes are all the same. The hair cut can be the same but make all the shapes in the hair different.

olive cove
#

Thanks, I'll have to fix that when I get home

dire plinth
#

also, you have girl DnD characters? 😏

karmic stream
#

I have done lots of life drawing studies. In fact I am filling up a sketchbooks with skull and head studies now

olive cove
#

She is my first girl character in my time playing DnD @dire plinth

#

Anatomy is s thing I need to work on as well

dire plinth
#

Yeah, I have started so late, but I am working a lot on sketchbooks on planes of the body. To see shapes and planes when lighting. I am still a novice, but working hard. :D

karmic stream
#

Anatomy studies is a life long thing for all artist. Its like 'going to the gym' but for art lol

dire plinth
#

Well lercas, my primary character in fozhold is a woman, after the man called harvester so, I can't blame you :/

karmic stream
#

There is no such thing as started late cause art is not a race.

dire plinth
#

Yeah, that is a very well made description

olive cove
#

I do basic shapes when making poses etc and usually my characters are fully clothed so I haven't payed much attention to the musculature of people when I draw them

karmic stream
#

then your next challenge is more anatomy lercas XD

dire plinth
#

Should we do art meetings, julian, like the friday meetings that caspar does? Would be fun, right? I guess time is the only problem here :/

olive cove
#

Yep seems so lol

karmic stream
#

Sure! but you'll have to remind me I have a lot of foxhole art work to do XD

dire plinth
#

Lercas, you can try internet photos as references. Julian gave me a great tip, to study a lot, to try once to reproduce an image, see where you went wrong, keep in mind for the next one. Julian, show him those 100 portraits challenge

#

That thing seems so fun. So sad I don't have a person to do that with :/

olive cove
#

Yeah whenever I draw anatomy in my art I usually search up quick references off of Google

dire plinth
#

Lercas, wanna do 100 portraits or body challenge, pose, anything? XD

karmic stream
#

Adam and I have a rule for our 100 portrait challenge.. there are no rules XD, no time limit, no guides or styles. Do whatever you want just do 100.

#

nice!

olive cove
#

I'm down for a 100 something challenge

dire plinth
#

Well, anatomy is a good thing to practice. If you have a good eye, you can always take bits and never do anatomy. Just understand principles. Is it good? No. Is it bad? Nope. It is you who decide what you wanna do.

olive cove
#

That is the extent of my Inktober I'm still doing them, like I just finished my 4th one which I'm just doing small details on now

karmic stream
#

Adam and I are we are doing portraits at work (photos from wherever) No rules no pressure.

dire plinth
#

Yeah

#

Doesn't have to be a huge pressure

#

It has to be relaxing

#

@karmic stream since we are not decided, I will let you pick what you think it'd be a good 100 challenge fod me and lercas, since you saw our art overall already. :D

#

We will*

#

Oh, lercas, how about 100 characters?

olive cove
#

I'm down

karmic stream
#

what do you think you suck at?

#

morrighan?

dire plinth
#

Umm, well, I suck at planes

#

And a bit of perspective but that fixes slowly

olive cove
#

I have trouble with hands and feet more so feet than hands though

karmic stream
#

air planes or planes and shapes?

dire plinth
#

Planes and shapes

#

Not airplanes (: XD

olive cove
#

Perspective is also tricky

karmic stream
#

yeah lercas do 100 hands and feet. you'l feel way more confident after. As you go study and fined ref.

#

DO like 10 from ref and do 10 out of your head. Go Back and forth and be observant of when you get 'lost/challenged'. Then see how other artist solve those same problems.

#

After all of them the next character you draw you'll notice you naturally struggle less and think less when drawing hands and feet.

olive cove
#

Gotcha, now I got two things to keep me busy while I'm on break between my classes here at uni

#

The first being finishing my Inktober drawings

karmic stream
#

no pressure, no time limit

dire plinth
#

On hands and feets I have a small but a bit better understanding. Idk I naturally feel where a finger should be. I do mistakes, but I don't struggle a lot, so it would be awesome to shos eachother hat we did, right, @olive cove ?

As for the size of those sprites, that's... How ya do it actually, AW style's supposed to be miniature

#

or whatever's the term

dire plinth
#

I am not seeking for proportion, but the person is just not fitting in the bus for example, as a driver, ofc. I don't mind the rest. The sprites are definitely well made

#

You can start another project with bigger sprites, why not?

#

This one is good as it is.

#

Oh, the bus is almost as big as the luv and the tank, differences are too small. It makes it look like the same thing, that'd be abetter explanation. @left wind

They won't fit if they just stand around

If they sit, however, they'd actually fit

So no clue if that's an easy fix (but it should be in any

#

Crap, hit enter too early

autumn leaf
#

@pulsar grail ill see if i can but i dont think so

Well, it's on a solid color so you can just cut out both the swords with background, move it to the left and fill the remaining space

Or paint over it, whatever works

covert salmon
#

Ngl, this is warden af

#

Prolly gonna use it in my next batch of designs

rancid carbon
#

cool

blissful heath
#

The one thing that people misunderstand about warden vehicle design is that it's not just curvy, almost every curve in a Warden vehicle conforms to a circle

#

so a plane that has less graceful but more circular curves, such as the Macchi C.202, fits better

pallid tangle
#

Hey baby, you a donut?

#

'Cuz you're all sweet and curvy babe

rancid carbon
#

bad soup

#

bad

pallid tangle
#

hmpf

covert salmon
#

Double correction: Fiat G.50

#

Tbh tho, I’m more following designs based around sleekness and the inverted interwar engines

#

Also, circles are not as good for aircraft design as you think. Sure, radials are round, but they don’t fit the warden period aesthetic imo

#

But, if you want circle pedantism, then I got you covered

#

Congrats, I am going to make this

blissful heath
#

Don't forget that there already is a warden plane in-game

#

i'm not entirely pulling this out of my ass and basing my conclusions off of what tanks and armoured cars look like

covert salmon
#

I know, and I’m separating myself from the design. I’m taking design influences from the French and throwing in technological shenanigans to spice up the design

#

The French used radials, upright inlines, and inverted inlines

blissful heath
#

but shouldn't you stick to the design?

#

It's like making something that doesn't fit with the Devitt

#

that and it fits with the circular curve design philosophy as I stated before

covert salmon
#

Here my gripe with the design, it doesn’t look like it can fill roles of attacker or trainer

#

Or bomber

#

Plus, I’m taking this from a historical perspective , the French used lots of different designs at the start of WWII

blissful heath
#

it could be recon, or courier

covert salmon
#

150ish in total

blissful heath
#

and remember that the wardens aren't just 'french'

covert salmon
#

True, that’s why I threw in German and Czech designs

blissful heath
#

what's stopping the plane in-game from doing it's roles?

covert salmon
#

Nothing, I don’t intend to get any of these added tbh. I’m spitballing fan designs I’ve spent time researching

#

The French used the inverted inline

blissful heath
#

the problem is I think you've gone for too sleek of a style

#

Both factions should be rugged, but in different ways

#

Wardens would be rugged because of circular curves

#

and colonials would be rugged for ease of manufacture and mass production

#

so more boxy and rigid, sorta like the Bf-109

covert salmon
#

Alright, if you look at community highlights 76, you can find my old works there and feel free to critique them

#

The designs I do are indeed sleek, but that is because I ground them heavily in reality

blissful heath
#

Rightio, but do keep in mind I don't want to be an arse

#

I just want to keep the style consistent

#

you can still have non-sleek planes be realistic

covert salmon
#

And I don’t think the warden empire had the engine tech to pull that off

blissful heath
#

just think of the grumman, or the macchi c.200

#

what makes you say that about their engines?

covert salmon
#

Tbh, never struck me that way

#

Like for example, the C.200 has a shit engine

#

And we are comparing it to the warden aircraft we see in game

blissful heath
#

That's fair, but it could be a more powerful engine designed to take a more rugged aircraft up into the skies

covert salmon
#

Hell, Italian aircraft engines were so bad, I’m pretty sure they are what made Enzo Ferrari so focused on engines over aerodynamics

blissful heath
#

I imagine with FMGs being seen as less and less useful on the ground many would become AA emplacements

#

and aircraft would do better off with more armour to take just a few more hits than other earlier craft

#

hence rugged designs on both factions

#

that and ruggedness seems to fit in more with both what we've already seen and what makes sense within the Foxhole universe

#

I imagine that some Warden craft would be sleek, but these would mostly be repurposed racers from before the war like the He.100

#

sorta like how the Devitt used to be a work of art, so would planes

#

but the FMG would facilitate a requirement for stronger planes

covert salmon
#

I can see that. Part of what I’ve done as well is that I’ve referred to my aircraft as Caovair designs rather than just as Warden Empire State built designs
To a degree, yes, but I’ve never seen them as being on par with most 20mms in terms of damage

blissful heath
#

I think of them more as .50cals

#

which were not nice if you were a german fighter trying to take on a bomber

covert salmon
#

I’ve casually mounted single fmgs in some of my older designers
Tbh, I see then like the kraut 15mms

#

Yeah, .50s were nasty af

blissful heath
#

.50cals are 13mm, and the FMG is 14.5

#

so I imagine they're rather potent

#

enough to give aircraft two options

#

one, get more armour and bulk up

#

or two, fly higher and avoid the worst of the damage

#

both of which need more powerful engines

#

a lack of a powerful engine would be the death of the air force of either Caoiva or Veli-Mesea

covert salmon
#

The other thing imma point to stylistically is that the collies have as many slab-fronted machines as the wardens

blissful heath
#

you mean a lack of angled armour?

covert salmon
#

Yeah

blissful heath
#

hmmm

covert salmon
#

Uncurved at the front

blissful heath
#

Oh yeah, that's why I like bulkier radial designs

#

since they don't taper down into a nose

covert salmon
#

That’s more reminiscent of radials

#

Yes

blissful heath
#

if I could differentiate them still I'd give the Colonials radials as well

covert salmon
#

Technically, inlines don’t need to either, peep some of the spas designs

blissful heath
#

or perhaps they do taper off into a nose but have a large intake underneath

#

so they're still 'front-slabbed'

#

that would be easier to manufacture and fit an engine into

covert salmon
#

Inlines can produce as much HP as a radial

blissful heath
#

yeah, the only problem for a radial is wind resistance

#

parasitic drag if you will

#

but that's negligable

covert salmon
#

Tbh, the best way to pick one is based on balance
Yes

blissful heath
#

unless you're doing something like the Me 323

#

where you need every ounce of engine power and even then you need to be towerd

#

*towed

covert salmon
#

Like balance and spacing were big factors in choosing radial vs inline

#

Unless you were P&W, then in that case everyone wanted to design the aircraft around the engine lol

blissful heath
#

I imagine collies would have an inline, and keep a rather narrow but predictable and unchanging fuselage

#

it rarely curves, as that would make it harder to manufacture

#

so making it a radial would make it use a lot more materials, and making it taper off at the nose would be hard to mass-replicate

#

so keeping it the same 'shape' along the fuselage (aside from the tail perhaps) would make sense

covert salmon
#

Tbh, I could see them using an ungainly hybrid of an Me 109X combined with a YAK-1

blissful heath
#

Yeah, that would work

covert salmon
#

Another thing about engines is hat they aren’t always available

blissful heath
#

oh of course

covert salmon
#

Think of the Me 410 and Fw 190C dilemma

#

Where a 190 with the performance of the 190D came out a year earlier but couldn’t enter production due to d gives veg good allocated for the Me 410

#

Can we continue this discussion later? I must leave as my phone is slowly dying and I want some spare charge in case of an emergency

blissful heath
#

Yeah, that's alright

#

Nice to finally talk with someone who isn't set in their ways, but I guess this isn't political lol

covert salmon
#

Thank you

blissful heath
#

I only feel strongly about this because I want to accept your designs as head canon

pallid tangle
#

this was veey interesting

covert salmon
#

Oh shit, thank you

blissful heath
#

so if they're truer to Warden design philosophy I'll do it quicker than if they didn't

covert salmon
#

Alright

blissful heath
#

that and it sets a precedent for others who want to design

#

but yeah, talk to you later

@peak oyster , lore in game to back that up besides the single type of plane?

#

Bc nobody used just radials

#

I legit cannot think of a single nation that used radials exclusively. US used both inlines and radials, so did Great Britain, Germany, even Italy and Japan. Yes, Japan didn’t have any homegrown inlines but they wanted to use them enough that they got a license.

#

Hell, Japan used three different kinds of inlines, the Ha-9, Ha-40, and Ha-47. That doesn’t include all the Hiro inlines

24 rockets

#

rl they could only fire sideways, and I'd want to keep that, but a Foxhole version imo would need some traverse as well as a range of elevation.

#

Perhaps make it even greater range like 60-125 or 60-150 in exchange for bad accuracy

#

Though rockets would pose a challenge as the devs can't apply hitscan to them as they do with FA and howitzer

It would be a true barrage weapon, saturating a far off target area with high explosives instead of trying to snipe a building with FA or a group of infantry with howitzer

#

Hell, I'd take a 25m range increase for godawful accuracy. I just want to make the enemy fear for their lives as rockets come down around them.

gotta go with the good ole AW style

I mean, I expected that

left wind
#

who wouldn't really

#

now, for the wardens, idk what sort of r-arty should I give 'em

peak oyster
#

Raketenpanzer style?

left wind
#

idk if that would work on devitto

peak oyster
#

Devitto has a wide enough hull for it

#

Maybe on the ST though?

#

Whats stopping you from putting it on the APC actually @left wind

left wind
#

I still haven't made the APC yet

#

I could just put it on the truck, buuuuuuut idk about that

peak oyster
#

It doesn't work on the truck

#

It needs some form of hull to work with

left wind
#

unless you give it the katyusha projector

#

or the nebelwerfer

#

idk

peak oyster
#

What about the stuka zu fuss rockets on the HT?

gotta work my magic here

Also if you want/need I can give you different views of my katyusha 3d models

no need to

i know what to do tbh

Aight

#

except of course the half-tracks oh good lord am I gonna spas the fuck out

high ledge
#

i think i tried to make a racketen panzer once for the wardens

autumn leaf
#

I thinks its a dumb idea. Id rather have racks mounted on a truck instead of slow big target that would soon be a rektdeten panzer after allies fighter bombers see it

#

A truck is easier to high and move than a tank

#

If its damaged it cost less to repair or replace. Germans would have that over engineered tank on jacks in a fortnight, having a repair crew of death shift to get it working again

#

Truck, engines damaged, tow it with another or if immobile blow it up, its a truck. Take the racks off first and install on another

high ledge
#

thats so, but theres also to concider, tanks can move up countryside and cross crountry far better than a truck can. here you can say a halftrack is best for the job, but a tank would still be far faster and more efficient at getting closer to enemy positions without being on the open road

blissful heath
#

artillery, while useful to be mobile, is not necessarily made or broken by it

#

the mobility is definitely outweighed by the cost

even more rocket goodies

Also @stuck crown you said that the vehicles are 20% smaller than in game, do you mean that they're 125% the size of their counterparts irl, IE their current size is 100%, or do you mean that they're 120% bigger than irl, IE their current size is 120%

#

I know it makes litterally no difference in terms of scale, but I'm just curious

stuck crown
#

@peak oyster Vehicles are mostly 20% bigger than IRL, but most of the time we just make things fit our game without worrying

peak oyster
#

Nice

rancid carbon
#

@stuck crown sry for ping but does that apply to the sizes given in the vehicle data sheets as well or just the model sizes?

stuck crown
#

those sizes are scaled up already

peak oyster
#

@stuck crown does that include the armour thickness or caliber of guns?

rancid carbon
#

Interestinngggghghgggggh

blissful heath
#

I doubt the calibre and armour thickness are scaled up

#

or else you get armour less than 30mm

#

which is kinda iffy

left wind
#

i smell somethin' really iffy

rancid carbon
#

So the hatchet isnt actually the size of a sherman

#

and the BTs arent the size of a King tiger

#

I am pleased with this development

peak rover
#

I would say the BT are the size of a Tiger I

Beautiful

peak oyster

The Hatch on it is actually taken from the LT, just scaled up slightly

rancid carbon

Nice

#

You should make a gun shield

peak oyster

You want me to strap the gunshield of the FMG onto the front of this fuck

Any other non-standard vehicles y'all want me to make? 50 mins left to ask for shit

If they'll ever add trains

So not for now

I'm not going to make full new vehicles right now

Which is also why the Tankette isn't on the list

runic lodge
#

Yeah

#

Wait, so what actually will happen with these models

peak oyster
#

I'm going to make them, with the in game models, in blender

#

Also the order of that list is the order I'm going to do them in, so if I run out of time the later ones might not get done

Harvester tank :o?

They'll be like a suggestion for developers to be added or only for mods/other stuff

They've been used in that capacity a little, but they're more for fun/practice

@dire plinth YES GIB IT NOW

@runic lodge wasn't this how HTs used to look like before they added faction specific models?

You take a flatbed, add some armour plates on it, modify the back and put an automatic cannon there, or an actuall cannon
