U cant really say u improved if u took the cheat route

main umbra
#

…improved at what? Writing?

shell gulch
#

Well good for you that u use it for that purpose

hardy yew
#

They're not truly your characters they belong to the ai

shell gulch
#

Unlike other ppl💀

shell gulch
#

Which the ai just copied

hardy yew
#

True

main umbra
#

False. That simply isn’t how it works. …sigh. This conversation again.

shell gulch
#

So yea it's not rlly urs ur just feeding the ai the idea

#

And it just yoinks

main umbra
#

also I wrote them.

#

I write more than just fanfiction, thank you.

shell gulch
#

Yea u wrote them but lemme ask you a question

#

Let's say there's 2 ppl

#

They had the same idea

#

Of a character

#

Do you think they'll have the same outcome?

main umbra
#

Obviously not.

shell gulch
#

Ai just takes the idea and collects existing information and makes that idea into an image

hardy yew
#

It's not ok to steal art and claim it's your "ocs"

shell gulch
#

So yea

shell gulch
main umbra
#

That is not how it works.

shell gulch
#

So how does it work?

#

Explain

main umbra
#

Will you listen if I do?

shell gulch
#

Yes

main umbra
#

Fine.

#

Stable diffusion then. It's the new hotness.

#

It's made of essentially three distinct models, and I don't fully understand all of them, so you'll need to endure.

#

But first off, there's the VAE. That's a variational autoencoder; the part that actually makes pictures. Sort of. What it does, is:

shell gulch
#

So I thnk I get it now

main umbra
#
  • Given a 512x512 picture, it can compress it down to a 64x64 representation.
  • It can do the same in reverse.
  • The "variational" part: If you slightly tweak the values of said 64x64 ("latent space") representation, you get a new picture that's conceptually similar to the original. As opposed to, say, noise.
    This is basically a compression algorithm.
#

It's an "autoencoder": This means it learned how to do this by training on pictures scraped from the internet, let's say yours.

#

But anyway, once it's been trained, all it is is a compession algorithm. Like JPEG or PNG.

shell gulch
#

So yea ai art has stable diffusion which is

#

Txt to img

main umbra
#

No, you said you'd listen.

#

I haven't even gotten to that part yet.

shell gulch
#

Yea I was listening

#

I just wanted to search abt stable diffusion since idk what it meant

main umbra
#

Then there's the "U-net". That's an AI which was trained to, given a blurry picture, make a clean, un-blurred picture.

#

That actually describes the 'diffusion' part of stable diffusion. (The 'Stable' part is, uh, just a company name...)

#

The way they did this was by — again — taking everything they could get on the internet, blurring the pictures step by step, and training the u-net to reverse the blurring.

#

The really clever part of Stable Diffusion is they trained it on the latent space representation instead of the 512x512 original, so it's about 1000x faster... but it's the same idea.

shell gulch
#

Ic

main umbra
#

So okay. We've now got an AI with two parts:

#
  • A really smart compression algo.
shell gulch
#

So basically it's just like

main umbra
#
  • An un-blurring algo.
#

No, this still can't generate new pictures. 😛

shell gulch
#

Giving an idea to a commission artist

main umbra
#

What you need to realise, however, is that these were trained by 'showing' the training process each of the input pictures, once. It got perhaps a single bit of data from each.

#

That makes it just simply utterly impossible to plagiarize anything; the data isn't there.

#

We're talking JPEG at quality level 0.0001

#

Anyway. There's still the text-to-image part!

shell gulch
#

So yea lets say I'm wrong abt the plagiarism part since most commissions artist can't really draw without reference

main umbra
#

That's CLIP. Or more recently, BLIP and OpenCLIP. Same thing.

#

CLIP was trained to create captions for pictures.

#

...doesn't sound super useful?

#

But it's the nature of AIs that you can run them in reverse. So yes, in principle you can actually make a picture using just CLIP, but... the result is awful and unusable. Here, let me show you an example.

shell gulch
#

Looks trippy as f

main umbra
#

My earliest attempt at getting an AI to draw Roza and Lili. I use them as a kind of benchmark. This was basically pure CLIP.

shell gulch
#

How I'd imagine the pov of a dude high on mushrooms

main umbra
#

(It has no idea who they are. My prompt was something along the lines of "A pinkg-haired and a blue-haired pair of twins, playing in a beautiful garden.")

shell gulch
main umbra
#

Anyway.

#

Instead of trying to generate a picture using pure CLIP, they chopped it in half. 🪓

#

These are all encoder-decoder models. That is to say: You have a human-understandable representation on one end, the AI condenses it to something smaller, and then spits out another human-understandable representation on the other end.

#

For the VAE, that's picture to latent space to (basically same) picture.

#

If you use the VAE as a compression algo, you can take a 4k picture of New York and compress it to 40kB, and when you decompress it it'll look basically the same as the original.

#

Pity the VAE is 500MB itself.

#

There are plenty of compression artifacts, of course, they're just things like buildings moving around instead of traditional JPEG artifacts.

#

...

#

As to CLIP, that goes picture to latent space to text.

#

Or in this case, text to latent space to... nothing.

#

When they trained the U-net of stable diffusion... remember, the bit the un-blurs?

#

They used pictures that had captions.

#

FEd the captions to CLIP.

#

And then used the latent space of clip plus the latent space of the VAE to decode the latter.

#

The result is an AI which can use both the text and (if you want) an input image to steer generation of an output image, by just repeatedly un-blurring it until it stops changing.

#

(...well, if you use DPM Adaptive. Few people do. It's slow. But same idea with fixed schedules...)

#

Thing is.

#

At no step in this process is anything plagiarized.

#

The AI uses (a) your text, and (b) the ability to heavily compress pictures.

shell gulch
#

So yea it's just basically

#

Giving ideas to a commission artist

#

I get the gist of it now

main umbra
#

And yes, it learned how to understand text by training on existing pictures.

#

But that's really all it is. A form of understanding.

shell gulch
#

But that's the problem tho

main umbra
#

...a kinda sucky form of understanding, if you try passing existing pictures through clip. XD

shell gulch
#

It's ruining the jobs of commission artists

main umbra
#

Yeah, kinda.

shell gulch
#

And ppl abuse it

main umbra
#

Yep.

#

Those are both problems.

shell gulch
#

That's why I hate it so much especially ppl who sell ai art and say it's theirs

#

💀

main umbra
#

Legally, it is.

#

Claiming they drew it is obviously false...

shell gulch
#

Let me rephrase

#

They're saying they drew it

main umbra
#

Which they didn't.

#

Liars are a problem. But not a new one, per se.

shell gulch
#

Also it's like spitting on the face of real artists

main umbra
#

I think that's the wrong perspective to take.

#

Most people playing with this would never have commissioned anything in the first place, ever. A good fraction will probably learn to draw on their own; it can be helpful for that, just not for me. Tried.

#

There's going to be more art in the world, even if most of it is AI-generated... and only gets looked at once.

shell gulch
#

The thing I hate the most js

main umbra
#

A good fraction of people using this, for that matter, are probably going to go to a commission artist using AI pictures as reference.

#

It's way too early to say if your workload will increase or decrease.

shell gulch
#

There are ppl calling themselves Ai "artists"

#

💀

main umbra
#

...I've seen some of their work.

echo zealot
#

wdym by that

main umbra
#

I sure as hell can't make anything as pretty with my AIs as Pharmapsychotic can.

hardy yew
#

Is ai art free?

main umbra
#

Whatever the heck he is doing, that does count as art in my book. It's just a different form.

echo zealot
#

yeah u kinda just got to a website and give it a prompt

main umbra
#

....ahaha

#

Sure. Try it.

shell gulch
#

Idk man

#

Ppl now adays are just out of touch

#

💀

echo zealot
#

as an artist i kinda have a small fear that we fr are gonna replaced by AI one day TeriStare i mean everything will get replaced with AI honestly, just at this point even creative stuff like this is gonna fr get replaced

shell gulch
#

Coming up with random bullshit straight out if their arse

shell gulch
#

And that already happened

echo zealot
cyan plover
#

imma ask again cuz idk where else to ask, anyone has the gif version of this? I wanna use it as my wallpaper

main umbra
#

There's no putting it back in the box now.

hardy yew
#

Ai will eventually replace everything

shell gulch
#

It happened to workers being replaced by machines

main umbra
#

...sure, and horses.

echo zealot
#

no way

#

ur joking my guy

#

horses??

main umbra
#

People are still around.

#

But the horse population...

shell gulch
#

But sure machines still need operators

#

But yea

echo zealot
echo zealot
main umbra
# echo zealot what about it

The arrival of internal combustion engines made horses non-viable. Their minimum wage dropped below their cost of living.

#

So they mostly got slaughtered.

#

I'm not exactly an AI optimist.

echo zealot
#

whats the point of that

#

dude who

shell gulch
#

Horses are still pretty fucking valuable tho

echo zealot
#

who is making these descions

shell gulch
#

Like

#

The breeds

main umbra
#

Nobody.

main umbra
#

Economics.

#

Moloch.

shell gulch
echo zealot
#

look bro i think i have a little bias because i am an equstrian

#

but cmon

main umbra
#

It's unlikely to come to that, because that would imply keeping AI itself under control.

echo zealot
#

slaughtering them???

#

whats the point

main umbra
shell gulch
#

The problem with ppl now adays they don't want to experience the hard part in life

echo zealot
shell gulch
#

Which is very disappointing

shell gulch
#

Since that part is the best part

shell gulch
echo zealot
#

yeah?

shell gulch
#

There's a guy in a art discord serv I'm at

echo zealot
#

yuh

shell gulch
#

Not rlly the one u can call good

echo zealot
#

mhm

shell gulch
#

So he's asking is there any way for ai art to be a tool to help him improve easier

main umbra
#

I like AI art, because art AIs produce something I can look at and call pretty. My day job is an AI that, instead, re-ranks search results so you click on the first one more often. At least that's useful, but sometimes it just up-ranks clickbait.

#

Every other significant AI I know of just preys on people

shell gulch
#

Which is pretty disappointing

echo zealot
#

oh my god

#

dude

#

you cant aquire something without practice etc

shell gulch
#

Yea

echo zealot
#

i mean dude, practice makes progress 😭

shell gulch
#

That's why

#

The serv im at

echo zealot
#

its an old term that is still true to this today

echo zealot
shell gulch
#

Did a strict ban on ai art

echo zealot
#

reminds me i should continue on my PE drawing

main umbra
#

Which I'd hope you can at least agree is unique.

#

(Also this was state of the art six months ago. Oh how quickly things change.)

shell gulch
#

Any post of ai art (except post abt shitting on itHimekoLMAO ) will be deleted

echo zealot
#

the world is changing too fast and it scares me

shell gulch
#

And if u post ai art and say it's urs

#

U get perma banned

echo zealot
#

also, are you guys more digital artists or traditional?

shell gulch
#

Like ai art is cool and kind of helpful

#

Trar

#

Trad

#

I'll migrate to digital in like

echo zealot
#

i use ai art to give me like a prompt of what im supposed to draw

shell gulch
#

2 years

main umbra
#

Writer. 😛

echo zealot
shell gulch
#

I just find references

echo zealot
hardy yew
#

I use picrews as reference

shell gulch
#

And ask help to ppl and ask if they can help Me find refs

main umbra
#

Actually, let me ask you a question.

echo zealot
#

yeah?

echo zealot
main umbra
#

If I wanted someone to clean up some AI art. Or completely redraw it, whichever; just as a reference.

#

Where should I ask?

bleak grotto
echo zealot
#

idk about that

#

🤨

shell gulch
#

I'm not sure

hardy yew
echo zealot
#

cuz i heard ai-art is very frowned upon in artists nowadays, either they just hate it or theyre scared of it

bleak grotto
main umbra
#

I don't know where to find anyone like that.

hardy yew
#

I have a couple friends on other servers that do that

main umbra
#

But, like. My one experience with commission art so far was that the guy took two months.

shell gulch
#

Also i wanna finish the line art when i get back home since my sched is so fkd

#

I have exams in like 8 days

main umbra
#

And I try to post a chapter a week at least.

shell gulch
#

💀

echo zealot
#

yo that looks sick

main umbra
#

While rarely knowing what I'll write more than 2-3 weeks in advance.

echo zealot
main umbra
#

Typically around 8 kW

echo zealot
#

oH

#

wow

main umbra
#

I said I try. 😛

shell gulch
main umbra
#

Sometimes I even succeed!

shell gulch
echo zealot
#

my chapter word counts always varies

#

i struggle to finish my art, honesly

#

💀

shell gulch
main umbra
#

Yeah, that's normal. I've been anywhere from 2 to 10-ish.

#

Above that it really needs to be cut in half. XD

#

(Usually below as well, honestly.)

shell gulch
shell gulch

Recently I've been illustrating a story one of my friends is writing. He usually gives me about 60 minutes to do it ....

hardy yew
#

I fail to draw legs correctly

shell gulch
main umbra
#

(Yeah, that's the one the AI art above was for.)

echo zealot
#

or color

#

i genuinely cant

main umbra
#

(At that rate I can barely even get the characters right. Please stop, Snowie.)

shell gulch
#

Fk sake

shell gulch
#

I studied color theory

echo zealot
#

how do you

#

study color theory

shell gulch
#

And what helped me the most is

#

Trying to experiment with it

main umbra
#

...like, color management?

shell gulch
#

On how it works

shell gulch
#

What colors are good with each other

main umbra
#

I have a feeling you don't mean BT.2020

shell gulch
#

It paid off very well

main umbra
#

It would be useful.

shell gulch
#

Sure

#

This is how I colored 1 and half a year ago

shell gulch
main umbra
#

I do rather like it.

echo zealot
#

im embarrased of my own drawings SakuraBox i never understood color theory honestly,

main umbra
#

Okay, let's see. This is what CLIP thinks it's looking at...

shell gulch
#

I have very big colored one

#

echo zealot
#

i have an a3 piece of drawing

#

main umbra
#

Congrats, you're a japanese artist.

shell gulch
#

You'll eventually improve

shell gulch
echo zealot
#

An attempt was made

#

This was July iirc

main umbra
#

This is the img2img output using the same prompt. Which is at least amusing.

#

That's feeding your picture into the VAE, which I would say is plagiarization.

shell gulch
echo zealot
#

Jeez

main umbra
#

It just kinda loses most of the info.

shell gulch
main umbra
#

...well, if I set CFG to 0...

#

This is what the AI actually saw.

shell gulch
#

💀

#

#

LMFAO

#

Lolno.

echo zealot

tf

#

:spb

shell gulch
#

Wtf did they do to rushiaHimekoLMAO HimekoLMAO HimekoLMAO

main umbra
#

But fine. Let me try to actually, um, use this AI to improve it.

#

(This is not really possible.)

#

Okay. Please also ignore how I'm generating 10-15 copies to find one that looks vaguely like your picture.

echo zealot
#

llmaoo

shell gulch
#

Lmao

main umbra
#

And how I edited the prompt significantly because CLIP just has no idea most of the time.

#

And added a negative one to avoid the worst awfulness.

shell gulch
#

Clueless ai moment

main umbra
#

The AI is always clueless. If you don't spend at least weeks playing with it, you won't get the results you wante.d

main umbra
#

You still might get good-looking ones. They just won't be the ones you wanted.

main umbra
#

Like in this case. In fact I'm giving up.

#

This is the best result so far.

echo zealot
#

okay

#

😭

shell gulch
#

Why did they make her a yandereSakuraWTF

main umbra
#

I was also amused by whatever this is...

echo zealot
#

wait this ones not that bad

shell gulch
#

Wtf

#

So basically now I know the 3 purposes of ai

main umbra
#

... I ...

shell gulch
#

Good purposes
Malicious purposes
Or if I wanna see how a meth overdose looks like

main umbra
#

I think I'm gonna stop now.

shell gulch
main umbra
#

But let's say I don't use your picture, and just run txt2img directly. What do I get?

#

...well, there's no real answer to that. It depends on the noise and RNG; there are four billion potential pictures.

#

Per prompt.

#

Here's a random outcome, though:

shell gulch
#

I just realised

main umbra
#

...which is, yeah, worse.

shell gulch
#

Chainsaw man is pretty fucked up with soundsHimekoLMAO

main umbra
#

Adding an existing, decent quality picture as input helps. Just not in the way you'd think.

#

I still don't do that, because it's plagiarism. I've long since figured out how to do it with my own prompts.

#

...and judicious use of Krita on the results.

shell gulch
#

Some looks decent tbh

main umbra
#

...and frequently img2img on pictures I made myself.

shell gulch
#

Some are just very

#

💀

main umbra
#

If you just give me the description, and ask me to make one myself... I guess I just spent the last five minutes doing that.

#

This one I like. 😛

#

Skull necklaces on her neck and a skull in her hair. Masterwork. Blush stickers. 1girl, sketch, sketch art, smile, green hair, realistic

#

But of course this is the sort of thing I'd look at once and then bin, normally.

shell gulch
#

Holy shit I never I knew I'd need a animation of pochita eating bread

#

This shit is cute

shell gulch
main umbra
#

Looks like a sticker.

#

...

#

Potentially because I have "blush stickers" in the prompt.

#

And I'm not sure why I threw in 'bread', but now I'm hungry. XD

hardy yew
#

I’d eat that

echo zealot
#

The immense detail on Honkai characters makes me want to cry, after I finish I piece I always realise I’m missing something

dusky trail
#

well even in their own official art, the artist also draw with slightly change in detail

#

like this 2 art of Kongming here

#

one draw with longer sleeve and skirt

#

the distance of the hair accessory also different

#

or this Elysia, the artist remove the clothe part just show he can show Elysia's armpit

#

ty for that, using official art as reference can feel really weird sometime

shell gulch
#

Honkai valk devs are based

dusky trail
#

well in the end, what you want to show is the character, not just the outfit their wear

#

people not gonna stare at the outfit you draw and nitpick the spot you forgot

#

well unless it is the mole of the character...

#

since i forgot Rita and Himeko's moles from time to time

#

but ya, no need to stress yourself out over making it as perfect as possible

#

back reading made my head ache

#

dusky trail
#

i really want them to let you turn off the massive weapon in their back sometime

#

or if they just do this more often

#

sadly they only remove the hair from few of them

#

while some show more detail on the design, then some don't

#

but hey~ at least Honkai is a 3D game so you can see the model easier

#

try to draw 2D character without much way to see their back is even more annoying

done i think

dusky trail
#

now go make an alt version with her show her fang and eyes glowing

craggy plank
#

her eyes always technically glow in my art

#

considering this is without the top layer

dusky trail
#

you usually use a strong color for the glow so i never notice

craggy plank
#

i never post my art without the top layer so it’s understandable 😊

dusky trail
#

you usually see gold, purple, pink for glow anyway

#

then again

#

there also Black Rock Shooter

craggy plank
#

that depends on the eye color actually

#

i did that glow effect once but absolutely hated the outcome with my art style 😭😭

dusky trail
#

then time to do the most fun thing artist like to do~

#

torture themself until the outcome actually look good

craggy plank
#

if you like the glow effect then i have an unfinished wip for you 🥹🥹

dusky trail
#

i like armpit, rib and thigh

#

so i rather draw char in shadow

#

can't see those ribs if they are after all

craggy plank
#

cant draw full bodies unfortunately and i’m not looking forward for my anatomy attempts

#

i like drawing hands tho

dusky trail
#

i rarely bother with full body, unless the pose is neat to use

#

like this thing i made

#

right before Brightest Blight got took down...

#

fun

craggy plank
#

yeah i wouldn’t even try and bother 😭😭

dusky trail
#

you just have to slowly draw them part by part~

#

i like to do that more than just try to come up with full body one

#

or even more fun option is, find the kind of part you like so you want to draw it more

#

but well, when you draw, you gonna have to deal with annoying part eventually

the eyes are a bit uncanny when you look up close but i guess it also help work with it

Also also i drew raiden shogun in chibi style but i feel like i should change something

dusky trail
#

her left arm

#

because it is bend in really odd way right now

hardy yew
#

Lol i know

dusky trail
#

or even

hardy yew
#

Oooo thank you . The coloring and stuff is good tho right?

dusky trail
#

the hair's brightness part is a bit off but that mostly because i used different style for it

#

so nothing too off right now

#

i like this kind of of brightness more

#

it just give the hair a more sharp texture

hardy yew
#

Yeah i like that shading too but i also for some reason like jagged hair style like kinda messy

dusky trail
#

or even just this for chibi style

hardy yew
#

Im still trying to improve so thank you

dusky trail
#

well you don't have to make it too jaggy

#

like in this one, the artist just use more dot like

hardy yew
#

This is also hair that I drew

#

Maybe more like what your saying

dusky trail
#

the dots bellow her eyes stand out in really odd way

hardy yew
#

I like making weird characters

dusky trail
#

well not weird weird, more like the lineart of it is too strong than people would draw their attention to that than the character

hardy yew
#

Maybe if i made the opacity lighter on lineart

dusky trail
#

well it also because of the hair shading make it rather blurry, cause the thick lineart stand out even more

#

you could try change the lineart color to match it more i guess

#

like here, so the lineart won't be too strong

Well. I finished it yesterday but forgot to post so here it is

#

Im trying to get back at drawing again, does the proportions or perspective look wierd?
Im open to criticism
(Btw, ignore those texts, i was drawing in my class cuz i was bored)

dusky trail
#

well from that angle, the ground is a bit too lean to one side

#

and that cause the character to be slide off too

#

so it would be more like this

#

but the shell and his legs would be bigger too if that is the kind of angle you aiming for

#

also, not sure what that is but if it is a beach umbrella then that too is too lean to one side

fading citrus
#

Yooo thx for the fast reply!!

#

Really appreciate the detailed explanation 👌

dusky trail
#

you could also make the clouds spread further away so it won't became a really low angle

As you can see, the character is bald because I can not find hairstyle that would suit her.
If you have any idea, plz share it with me

don't worry~ i kinda know that too

but since i just made it for a short comic so i don't bother to go for too detail

#

i just made the other one bend more instead

#

tehee~

but ya, if i take my time with it, i would likely do more with her may even color it but i just want to make a short one so kinda ignore some part

maybe i will fix it after i get everything else done

lunar sonnet
#

Can I get some input on the proportions of the body?

dusky trail
#

created a really disconnect between her upper and lower body

#

i guess you also try to do a perspective angle for her arm but you do it too much so her arm just shrink really badly

#

there are a lot of way to do the frame but here is one, just draw a hourglass like shape to get a more balance for the torso

#

and a good way to check if the proportion seem wrong

#

is just to compare with the head, if it is bigger than any part of the torso then you have a problem

lunar sonnet
#

Then how about this? @dusky trail

dusky trail
#

try to move the head in her chest and her butt

#

you will see it is way too big in compare

dusky trail
#

the chest is a bit too far out

dusky trail
#

seem better, i only have problem with her head and her right feet now

lunar sonnet
#

Yeah, I'll fix that foot as I go along refining in

#

I just left that there for now as a basic shape to go along with

#

What about her head?

dusky trail
#

if i follow the line on the back of her head, it make her head rather... ellipses shape? rather than round

#

so her face will look bigger than the back of her head there

lunar sonnet
#

I figured the hair on the back part of her head shouldn't tightly follow the contour

#

Otherwise it would feel too flat?

dusky trail
#

it is to keep the shape more balance, as of now, her front face would have too much room in compare to the rest of her head

#

if you leave some room like this, the head would have balance shape and won't make her look like her bang is too high

#

though you may also want to scale down her head as it is bigger than her butt right now

lunar sonnet
#

You mean this?

dusky trail
#

try to make a larger arc to connect to her bun...? in the back

#

from the look of those line, i guess you still have problem with drawing large arc then

lunar sonnet
#

Ig I'm just trying to avoid making overly large edits

#

Especially since I'm still trying to decode everything you're saying

dusky trail
#

well to make it short then it is

#

"move her head into her torso, if any part is bigger than her head, then it is the problem"

#

let say like this

#

then you can see her chest is too wide in compare

#

while her butt is too small

#

oh, don't worry about the waist

#

that part is pretty much depend on the artist but you could get it as long as the head too

lunar sonnet
#

I don't think the red parts match with her head though?

dusky trail
#

oh i count the back of the head too

lunar sonnet
#

I was attempting to measure it like this and this is what I end up with

dusky trail
#

you only need to measure it from the neck down

lunar sonnet
#

I've seen in most drawing books the measurement starts from the chin though?

#

Something like this

dusky trail
#

well that kinda nightmare fuel

lunar sonnet
#

Then this

dusky trail
#

but anyway, you can see all the heads are smaller than the torso there

lunar sonnet
#

Yeah, but based on the height I see that the head length should go from chin to nipple, then nipple to navel, then navel to groin

dusky trail
#

when we use anime style, we have a bit more freedom when it come to length, i just use the head to compare to the size of her body

#

that is why i say if the head is bigger than any part of the body, than the size is off

lunar sonnet
#

I also see anime artwork that uses that measurement though?

dusky trail
#

i just mean it is more flexible

#

you probably seen an artwork with rather short body and long leg

#

or otherway around

#

muhh it is hard for me to explain properly since i already draw enough to get the feel of it on my own

#

not to mention each artists also have their own way to measure thing too

#

oh well, i think the chest being too wide is the only major problem i can see now anyway

#

then maybe someone else will pop up later and explain it better than i did

lunar sonnet
#

Might also be because I'm a little too hesitant to make her ass too big

dusky trail
#

i think it is fine like that

#

you can use the heads as marking or get the line about the same as her chin

lunar sonnet
#

Tried to redraw the entire thing, something like this then?

#

Also adjusted the neck but I didn't screenshot that

dusky trail
#

did you also adjust the waist a bit?

#

it seem to look better in this one

#

ya seem like you make it shorter and less curvy in the new one

#

well from the look of it, the hair gonna covered most of the back anyway

#

so it is rather optional but i would make the waist a bit longer, since with the new one, her waist became too thin compare to her torso

lunar sonnet
#

So put this line a little further down?

dusky trail
#

just make it more curve rather than digging in her waist

lunar sonnet
dusky trail
#

ya the problem now is you make it dig in too much, create a really off feeling when you see how wide her shoulder and butt are

#

just a simple line like this would do

#

the way i usually do it is just draw those 2 line, then connect it with a small curve line there for the waist

#

then add more bump for the shoulder and butt then there you go

lunar sonnet
#

?

dusky trail
#

seem fine enough

dusky trail
#

you don't need this part of the knee

#

it shouldn't be visible in that angle

Me and a friend are working on our own fan plot of HI3 involving a new set of Herrschers all named after the 7 deadly sins

This is Charlie, I wont go too far into his story but he's mostly just a spiteful 14 year old that needed someone to blame for his family's deaths so he decided god must pay for it

He's dubbed the Herrscher of Wrath as seen in image 1 and 2

3-4 are images of a conceptual ELF
(using blood embraces art as reference)
Elf charlie takes from his original design since he used to be a genshin character

5 is a conceptual Battlesuit I named quantum runner

Image 2 n 3 was done by a friend @royal spindle god bless them

Hi its me again, the guy who only draw while his class is in session,

Can someone give me tips how to draw a fluttering effects on clothes? I want to make it look like his robe is fluttering

then add in some line to connect to the upper part of the clothe

That's a wise advise 👌

or how about an M shape like so

Never thought it would be that simple thanks again shikniful

along you remember there should be a curve downward part like this

#

you can pretty much throw anything at it and it likely still come out fine

fading citrus
#

I'll keep that in mind when i draw again in class tq

dusky trail
#

it kinda the same apply with the clothe wrinkle, throw in random shape then adjust it after

#

but of course you don't have to put too much wrinkle, it more or less depend on how you like it
