2d-graphics

[vale hawk]

true

[cedar gorge]

I dont really do gfx I'm more of an concept art guy so I tend to suck at roblox bodies

[maiden quartz]

here's a little help, that's how I would have done it myself

[cedar gorge]

Acc this works better

[maiden quartz]

i'd add a few fingers

like hands

to make it look more in context

I like doing this now

[cedar gorge]

I find it that roblox has hands is freaky

[maiden quartz]

and try to exaggerate the foreshortening

draw the places further shorter than waht it is on the reference

to reaaally make it look cool

also, thanks bro

[maiden quartz]

can make it work

I don't have strict rules in my art

I like to make it flexible

Like if I didn't add a hand there it would have looked dumb for luffy to just

show a square?

[meager hinge]

no it wouldnt

[maiden quartz]

imo it would

[meager hinge]

itd look fine

luffy already is dumb

[maiden quartz]

lol not THAT dumb

[cedar gorge]

How's this

[maiden quartz]

looks fire

[inland radish]

Alright done with the client's revision

First is before, 2nd is after revision

KILLUA REF?!?! Goated asf

Wait how u do this

[maiden quartz]

Blender, I use a rig, add some light and render it to use a ref

then I just trace or copy

[inland radish]

Holy that's so helpful, did u do the model and rig urself??

[maiden quartz]

the lighting having an effect on the character does add a lot to the scene

[maiden quartz]

nah, model itself is from Roblox, but the rig is free

[inland radish]

Is there a tutorial on YouTube for that? Cus like, I find it hard to pose with no roblox reference 😓

[inland radish]

YOOO lookin good king, rlly love that blood moon in the BG

[maiden quartz]

I guess there must be, hold on lemme look it up

[mossy pebble]

Woahhhh this is tuff man

[maiden quartz]

I kinda developed the technique by myself but it's basic stuff really

[maiden quartz]

https://youtu.be/kpALOtLhX-Q?si=EyGQ-k07DqU2hEi2

basically that

just without the importing a model and lightroom part

[analog hawk]

Is there anything really important that affinity designer is missing compared to adobe illustrator? I get illustrator free from school but I have only been using designer

[inland radish]

Yo thanks man, appreciate that I love u

[maiden quartz]

honestly been an adobe kid since forever, never thought of switching

[inland radish]

Thanks dud

[maiden quartz]

YOU'RE WELCOMEEEE

The only thing non adobe I ever used was like Sony Vegas (content creation wise)

and Procreate for art

[mossy pebble]

[analog hawk]

I’ve used a little bit of adobe like photoshop and indesign but Ive been really liking the affinity suite

[maiden quartz]

honestly based on what i've heard, it's more "future-proof" to use the affinity suite

and also cheaper if you decide to not venture on the forbidden seas

but overall just use whichever you're more used to

and can do better work on

[analog hawk]

Good advice thanks

The only thing that was slightly annoying was having to upgrade from version 1 to version 2

But I felt it was fine since it was a one time purchase

[maiden quartz]

you don't have to upgrade if the last version was better or less clunky

I like to keep older adobe versions myself sometimes

like I use photoshop 21, despite it being 4 years old it's sometimes better

[analog hawk]

Some of the new tools made me want to upgrade it just makes my work faster

But affinity photo 1 I still use

Its good enough for what I do

[velvet fiber]

10min study no reference ngl i see a cherry more than apple, even for an apple i need references

[cedar gorge]

I see a tomato

[velvet fiber]

[inland radish]

NAWH I'M DED SERIOUS

[inland radish]

my jaw literally dropped no cap

man, I pray for ur hands and device rn

[maiden quartz]

[maiden quartz]

my ipad has never been used so much no cap

reminds me of the vector rush

Hand drawn all that

[inland radish]

[maiden quartz]

😭

[maiden quartz]

I work 6-8 hours a day

sleep all day (6-8am to 13-15pm)

sometimes I do pull 12 hours long

[inland radish]

damn, the quality even tho it's small, sigh.. lemme start rethinking my career king 🤧

[maiden quartz]

about 3 days a week I go to the gym, play games too when I got some free time or just don't feel like working

but most days I try to pull atleast 6h a day of work

[inland radish]

my attention span could never, I always end up getting distracted by something while working on a comm

[maiden quartz]

I use background noise to help me concentrate lol

talking to u rn is a proof that I am not 100% focused all the time lol

I usually have music or youtube vids going on

[inland radish]

the grind u're in holy, I'm surprised u find the time to do other things while having that much comms

[maiden quartz]

especially these long 2-3 hours ones

[inland radish]

HOLY MY BAD

[maiden quartz]

[inland radish]

OKAY U CAN GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE WORKING-

[maiden quartz]

[maiden quartz]

its okay ur making banks sis

[velvet fiber]

though id suggest not tracing it 1 to 1, change the pose a bit give it some stylization cuz most of the time when people trace the model it ends up stiff

[maiden quartz]

(hopefully)

[inland radish]

Yeah I'm gonna try that, Im also gonna go watch the yt video Wolver sent here earlier

[maiden quartz]

[inland radish]

Well, my client was supposed to pay me 20k robux from the bacon wick icon, but group funds needs 14 days, sigh

So I had to take PayPal

[inland radish]

Bro is loaded

[cedar gorge]

Most of my comms are spent on games

I would use it to buy food when I'm out but paypal isn't supported where I live

[inland radish]

Mine is food 😋

[maiden quartz]

it's okay

press shift+a

oh wait first

go back in object mode

then, press shift + a

select camera

and boom

a camera

it'll be the pov of your render

[inland radish]

okay let me do that

[maiden quartz]

you'll need to place it where you want it to be

like a real camera

it's cluncky, but a camera icon will spawn, letting you experience the pov of the camera

[inland radish]

okay I added the camera here since that's where the reference is-

uh I think I need to adjust it

[maiden quartz]

see that little focal lenght property

that's how you mess with the FOV

[tired hatch]

I use low opacity while using black 😭

[tired hatch]

Cmon

I never use black to shade, and nobody should

[inland radish]

I mean, I did post my hair rendering step by step here in #2d-graphics

[tired hatch]

Aight

[maiden quartz]

lemme give u an example

Red should always be shaded with some type of purple/pink

(don't mind the shitty art)

[tired hatch]

Yh but wtb like those anime gfx ones

it's colors

[jagged rover]

[inland radish]

[maiden quartz]

you prolly want to also slant him towards the gun, like round his back

[inland radish]

until bust

cus it needs to focus on the gun and face

[inland radish]

how do I do that

wdym slant 🤔

[maiden quartz]

same thing, pick the little control thing on the chest

like

hmmm

try to exaggerate the action line of the pose, and make the character follow it

that's in art terms

otherwise just, give him bad posture

[inland radish]

[maiden quartz]

See that arch

[inland radish]

yuh

[maiden quartz]

try to follow that with the model

exaggerate its traits

[inland radish]

[maiden quartz]

Roblox models lack expresivity

[maiden quartz]

PRACTICE AND LEARNNNNN

[fervent forge]

Always wanted to learn to draw from like imagination or smt but just cant xd

[maiden quartz]

It's not something that comes overnightttt

gotta be patient

I know it's not easyyyyyy

[honest cedar]

U should get good and then start practicing

[inland radish]

Bro practice, I've been drawing digitally since I was 12

[maiden quartz]

Nobody truly draws from imagination, it's a flawed concept

[inland radish]

Wat

[honest cedar]

Er

[inland radish]

Did u reply to a wrong one

[maiden quartz]

Everyone uses references, even top artists

[fervent forge]

Whats the niche rn i feel like game icons or smt are popular and everybody finding to hire someone

[maiden quartz]

Your mind is just a big library of references

[maiden quartz]

There's plenty

Logos, 3D GFX and game art like icons and thumbnails

Thumbnails i'd say is the easiest and one that pays the most

[fervent forge]

i dont think my youtube banners are selling that much unlike during pandemic everyone was being a content creator that time

[maiden quartz]

can work but ytb creators are not like the most popular thing here

I didn't get many atleast

I got more devs and stuff

like I get a LOT of thumbnail art

[fervent forge]

Are my prices kinda bad Im only charging 10$ even tho I take like 2-4 hours making them

[maiden quartz]

commissions

[maiden quartz]

lemme check

[fervent forge]

For what games ?mostly roblox?

[maiden quartz]

I never got an art comm for anything other than that here, yes

[fervent forge]

Ooooo

[maiden quartz]

it pays, but you gotta sell your soul to the robux devils

[fervent forge]

Idk how I can level up my game lol

[maiden quartz]

your prices are so low man 😭

also how did your ass work for iShowSpeed ?

[fervent forge]

I mean I wanna try doing the anime themed 3d gfx but those stuff are hard as hell since ill need to draw

[fervent forge]

I have someone who knew ishowspeed

[maiden quartz]

there's some 3D anime gfxs out there but tbh I have no clue on how to make those

i'm not very experienced in anime GFX

[fervent forge]

Ikr

Do u use roblox models like rigs before drawing or nah

[maiden quartz]

I do

[fervent forge]

ooo

[maiden quartz]

There's a whole convo before about this

[maiden quartz]

.

[maiden quartz]

.

[maiden quartz]

.

[fervent forge]

Bro ur thumbnails are peak

How the hell are u drawing those cool angles

[maiden quartz]

nah it's nun crazy trust

these angles are basic

[fervent forge]

Bruh its so clean

[maiden quartz]

thanks man

[fervent forge]

Very cartoony vibes with high quality

[maiden quartz]

but yeah ive been drawing for a while basically

At first I wanted to do anime younger

but my hands just like big outlines

so yeah over the years ended up doing cartoony art for roblox

[fervent forge]

Whered u learn those bruh your shadings are good too

[maiden quartz]

and considering the monthly salary here for an entry level job as a student is 150$

Roblox paying me like 500$ was better

[fervent forge]

Wdym by this

[maiden quartz]

in my country*

[quartz flame]

Sigh, I'm gonna have to 100% upfront everything from now on

[maiden quartz]

why is that :0

[maiden quartz]

I make an average of 500 a month basically

lately tho ive been making more

[fervent forge]

From a client? Or like thats overall for how u worked with anyone

[quartz flame]

People make the sudden decision to do something, don't have the cash afterwards

[inland radish]

Did u get scammed or sumn

[maiden quartz]

overall

[maiden quartz]

Oh happened to me yes

[inland radish]

[maiden quartz]

I remember my very first big commission

50$

I was excited

[quartz flame]

https://tenor.com/view/emo-gif-1771696518054862294

[maiden quartz]

spent 12 hours for the art

[fervent forge]

Blud how do I even draw I only got a gaming laptop with no tablet thing and the pen

[maiden quartz]

but the guy never paid

[maiden quartz]

Well I have an iPad, my dad gave it to me

[inland radish]

Draw on phone, that's where I draw sometimes

[maiden quartz]

it's like 4 year old but I got a pen

[fervent forge]

Oh how does ur transaction work?

[quartz flame]

I try to do nice and offer 50/50 or sometimes skip it, nice does not in fact pay the bills

[maiden quartz]

half upfront

[inland radish]

See

[maiden quartz]

I sketch first

[fervent forge]

Ah i see

[maiden quartz]

see if the client likes

if he down, he pays first half

I show him updates

mods and stuff

[fervent forge]

Yes yes thats good

[maiden quartz]

when done

he pays second half

gets file

and boom

work done

[quartz flame]

Yeah mine tend to fail the last part or want the file first lmao

[maiden quartz]

nah he scamming you

don't bother

I have a bunch of unsold art dw

it happens a lot

[quartz flame]

Sigh

[maiden quartz]

but thankfully most clients are okay with it

[fervent forge]

Should I focus on my editting stuff first then buy an ipad then upgrade to drawing too

[inland radish]

Don't be too nice

[maiden quartz]

real, don't bother with people not following your politics

[quartz flame]

I really need to portfolio up and get pro with it, I'm too drug dealer about it

[maiden quartz]

true, but not needed

I remember getting comms despite having a shitty portfolio

the truth is, if people like ur shit

they'll buy it

[quartz flame]

Yeah it's not, I get good comms, but I want better customers

[fervent forge]

I kinda want wolver to be my mentor cuz I actually wanna lessen to be a burden for my parents my tuition fee for school is already too high

[atomic iron]

do you guys ask a client first before posting their comms

[maiden quartz]

ah man, United States college

[inland radish]

True u just gotta show it to people, u don't even need a big big audience

[quartz flame]

I don't, my god given right

Unless you are stuck with a shitty pm

[maiden quartz]

I just put it in my portfolio

you can do that for sure

[maiden quartz]

bro ur like

so much more talented than me at editing lol

your 3D GFX is peak

[atomic iron]

hmm, okay. i'll just post this $60 comms that i finished a month ago

[fervent forge]

Thats prob cuz its the only thing I do but tbh I have mad respect with people who draw its way harder than editting atleast for me

[maiden quartz]

LOL that's why you deleted it 😭

[inland radish]

Idek how I got my client, bro just suddenly dm'd me and offered $70 per icon and I didn't even advertise here, I didn't have any roblox related portfolio too

[atomic iron]

HAHAHAHa yeah

[maiden quartz]

man I only draw too trust me

learning a few skills is good

[inland radish]

Yo, that actually looks cool wat

[maiden quartz]

but imo being REALLY good at your niche is what's best

[fervent forge]

Ill go try to save up for an ipad and add drawing to my arsenal xd

[maiden quartz]

earlier I was gonna say I made sum similar

but this shit is amazing

[fervent forge]

Hopefully I can get a few comss but I know drawings are more in demand cuz they like cartoony thumbnails

[swift falcon]

Can yall give me tips on starting out in Roblox studio

[quartz flame]

Welp, time to lock in I love getting my 14 dollar and 90 cents stolen

[maiden quartz]

honestly, both 3D and drawings are in demand when it comes to thumbnail

[atomic iron]

woah all of those look cool but the one on the bottom left is cool as hell

[fervent forge]

o

[maiden quartz]

dw you'll get over it, my heart was broken too when I lost that first big client

[maiden quartz]

I like the berserk one

[fervent forge]

@maiden quartz do u watch someone to learn how u deaw cuz ngl idk how to shade LMAO

[inland radish]

That angel one is majestic asf

[maiden quartz]

well it's a bit longer than this but any tutorial on this can help, best thing to do is to have a teach and practicing

[maiden quartz]

👼

[quartz flame]

It's the money it's the substance behind it, I lowball myself to help people out gang, I score comms that are $$$ yk, its a different kind of sting after trying to help out the guy

[fervent forge]

I actually draw too but like its different

[maiden quartz]

I feel you, but overtime you'll notice clients that aren't serious about their stuff

[quartz flame]

I have to lock in and get greedy

[maiden quartz]

if the guy is slightly iffy just, don't invest too much

[quartz flame]

Yeah

[maiden quartz]

and like go slowly about it

[fervent forge]

My drawings are more like this

[atomic iron]

she's bonita

[maiden quartz]

Realistic art is my nemesis

I cannot do realistic for SHIT

[fervent forge]

Idk how to draw like ur style and thats what I wanna learn

[maiden quartz]

honestly

i'd say cartoon is the easiest thing to draw

[atomic iron]

HONESTLY SAME

[maiden quartz]

because there's not really many rules

[maiden quartz]

fucking adorable

[fervent forge]

o

[maiden quartz]

you just have to know the basics and ball with it

[atomic iron]

IM BEING FORCEd TO LEARN REALISM FOR ART CLASS IN COLLEGE

[maiden quartz]

art students lol

i'm in

[atomic iron]

it's manageable but it's just stressful to go through

[maiden quartz]

ENGINEERING

[fervent forge]

My problem is my drawinngs are not properly proportionate likes yours most of my drawings are a bit assymetric

[maiden quartz]

also why I hate realism

[atomic iron]

oh nice. doesn't that require a lot of measueing

measuring

[maiden quartz]

gotta have some sort of perfection to it which I hate

[maiden quartz]

not reaaallly

[inland radish]

How u guys go to courses somewhat related to art

[maiden quartz]

it's more a lot of maths and physics, and some C scripting

[fervent forge]

Do u get most of ur coms here

[maiden quartz]

only civil engineering that has any drawing related lol, and that's like.. technical drawing

[fervent forge]

I tried promoting on other socmed and sites and barely got any

[maiden quartz]

yeah I do, all of them almost

[fervent forge]

Most if my coms rlly came from discord lol

[inland radish]

man..

[maiden quartz]

art is just something I did for fun

turned out to be a gig

[atomic iron]

me too

[fervent forge]

DANG ME TOO

[maiden quartz]

Like I never drew during college, I had stopped drawing after like a year before starting comms

[fervent forge]

suddenly someone just dmed me and asked for a design

[maiden quartz]

burnt myself out one summer and never tried again

[maiden quartz]

that's why having a cool portfolio is good

some people just scroll through 2D graphics, and if they see that ur stuff is nice

they'll DM

be careful tho

[fervent forge]

oh yeah other people never pays

Which sucks

[maiden quartz]

I think best way is to take half upfront

[fervent forge]

what if theyre not willing to do that

[maiden quartz]

or full upfront but that's not very liked by most

[fervent forge]

Also prob why I get less coms is my credibility

Most people hire those will roles on popular servers like you

[maiden quartz]

gotta see if you're willing to take a risk then, work for nothing

just for an extra piece in your portfolio

[fervent forge]

I mean ur a staff theyd trust u over some randoms xd

[atomic iron]

err, when i started my comms here, i didnt rlly have any roles

[maiden quartz]

doesnt mean anything, i'm just an app reader

[atomic iron]

i think you'll do fine as long as u have past work shown to ur clients

[maiden quartz]

exactly

having vouches work too

[atomic iron]

i had no vouches so just a portfolio works fine

[fervent forge]

I cant stop scrolling on ur portfolio these are so detailed from muscles to shading

[outer shadow]

yo guys i need help,

[fervent forge]

Im a nursing student so its hard to juggle up my gigs xd

[outer shadow]

so i just started trying to make an thumbnail using blender

and im tryin to load in my texture but it aint working

to the rig

[maiden quartz]

I LOVE drawing muscles

[fervent forge]

Crazy how I workout and know all muscles groups since im studying anatomy but dont know how to draw them

[maiden quartz]

thats

exactly why I love muscles

[fervent forge]

LOL

Anyways tnx bro ill start fixing my stuff and maybe start promoting my stuff later and hopefully get hired

[maiden quartz]

youll get hired quickly dw

u got experience

[atomic iron]

btw do u have any past work u could show @fervent forge. am kinda curious

[fervent forge]

Its in my portfolio lol

[outer shadow]

[fervent forge]

Im on my phone rn and most of my works are in my pc lol

[atomic iron]

[fervent forge]

YA THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO

[atomic iron]

[fervent forge]

[atomic iron]

i actually just russian roulette mine

[fervent forge]
