That's the kinda messy I'd expect in sketch ye
But not for final
Not my art but here's another example of "perfectly fine for sketch but don't have cleaned up lineart looking like this if you're not just doing a colour sketch" I found online
https://forums.tapas.io/uploads/default/original/3X/d/1/d11f82283c996a8f1deb2a3146b65df29a49f068.jpg
This is one of my actual wips that's honestly a bit of a mess and the aim is cleanup in lineart
I'd thrown in bluelines to adjust from forst draft of sketch
Oh wow, they look great!
I see
If you finish it show me, I would love to see the final product
Thanks!
Yeah they're a personal design I was working on heh
Looks like reshiram
Skyyyyy
It's Shimakaze
have you ever the moment where you use the bucket and then it accidentally paintet the entire page the same colour?

must wait 1 minute to finish loading every time

This is about as artistic as I’ve been since my term ended

Trying to force myself to do a sketch a day rn
Gonna do a page with birds
Still have to do some reduction and more shadows then some highlights but
I don’t have the proper stuff with me rn to do that
that reminded me that the one we found died yesterday

Sadge
XD 
heres the final

not the back side? 
when are y'all that are participating planning to tweet stuff for the azur contest
is it better to wait
are you the jean bart/richelieu one? that one's pretty nice 
I didn't put any flowers in it, I messed up 
Like I wish I atleast included one Hibiscus in the head and some to the surrounding to add more color
I feel like my thing is about as good as it'll get but I'll probably end up finding an issue after submitting anyways 
While you still haven't and for Everyone who's gonna participate, you guys still have half a Month so make the most of it 
na your art is
i believe in you 
Hmm had an idea for how the virus started in the story I'm writing and how it works
The sirens made a virus using the wisdom cubes and released it in the middle of a battle
That infected the first few shipgirls
It is also why the non infected ones can't use their rigs as even an infected touching tbr rig is enough to infect them
For basic humans the virus is fatal and Raises their corpses as Undead while infected shipgirls fall into a maddened state like they have rabies
Think it makes sense or sounds good ?
If it’s a wisdom cube based virus then why would the sirens use it on the shipgirls. That is a straight up infection risk.
It's been modified in a way that it doesn't harm the sirens
The sirens and shipgirls may both use wisdom cubes but they are different in their own ways
That's what I noticed at least
But that's the concept idea for the virus
And to explain why the rigs can't be used openly
A psychotic state might be better for the story. They are there but in their completely broken warped own mental world and may snap back a bit to reality in the first stage.
Could be interesting might do that
A psychotic state is overall better for this as they slowly slip into this deranged-paranoid mental state. You could rewrite the virus to be a pshycotic compound which does erode or corrupts wisedom cubes. And that the higher-up Sirens aren’t present because of this. Then it feels more like a closed isolated world with only the shipgirls and infected human and pawns or their non-infected counter parts.
Well I plan on the story mostly taking place with the Iron Blood shipgirls so pretty much it will take place in Germany
Hmm how do you suggest the virus can be cured in the first stage ?
In the first stage there are several medications against a psychosis which keep the girls sane but still near the borderline. The cube corrosion kicks in regardless of the progession of the psychosis. There is a siren compound against the cube corrosion but it isn’t a full restore and there will be a little cube corrosion invision it like little necrosis marks.
In the second stage we are at 2/3 of the transformation/cube corrosion from this stage there is a 70% coin toss with the siren compound the psychosis is now less or gone due to the cognitive decline caused by the cube corrosion. If you lose the 70% coin toss the corrosion wil slow down.
Stage 3 is like the last half of the face that hasn’t been transformed and the regretfully tears. However the siren compound still might be effective 10% chance for the “real” ships and a 13% chance for the ships that didn’t exist/blueprint ships. The chance difference lies in the fact that these ships are closer to the sirens.
Stage 4 full transformation for a while there is a bit of sentience and it’s just mindless zombie.
The virus itself is a psychrofiel* virus and doesn’t survive long inside the human body because of the body temperature of 36*c there fore you have an excuse to put the setting of the story during late Fall or begin Winter.
- a virus that can survive between temperatures of -30c and +5c.
i really like this idea
If the virus isn’t psychrofiel you will have that people will become infected by having the virus on their hands while preparing food etc. But it can survive long enough if it gets in one of the arteries. So bites and open wounds are killers. Oh and for reference when someone gets bitten it’s not one or three micro-organisms. No it’s a fully grown petridish. Oh and here’s one thing to take into account after several months some of the first infected will die because of over pollution of micro-organisms. The germs die because of their own rubbish or excrements. There exists some bacteria that produce alcohol as a excrement
hmm interesting who would you say should be patient 0 ?
the first of the Iron Blood gals to get infected
i was thinking perhaps several of the Z sisters
Same thought train but what if it was Gneisenau
could work
Then we have a main group of Bismarck, Tripitz, Scharnhorst, Nimi, Zepp, Zeppy, Weser, Ulrich, Z2, and Z28. And a side group of Hipper, Heinrich, a bunch of U’s and Köln.
hmm think the other factions close to Iron Blood land wise would notice hell breaking out there or think they would be too occupied with the virus in their lands to help ?
hmm well the idea is that Bismarck and Tirpitz are separated and Tirpitz trying to reunite with her only to find her sister among the horde
Then I suggest making a separate group of a infected FDG and a clean Eugen and Bisko
hmm i had an idea add to it
to make sure the factions wipe each other out the sirens leave very few cures with no way to make more just so the factions fight over what cures exist there
No it’s a better idea to make it like the sirens have this branch as a test bed for this compound but abandon it as an option and leave the branch intact for academic reasons and “drop” a suit case containing the schematics for the cure in “retreat”.
The HMS are just watching popcorn in hand. The Northern Parliament is somewhere on some iceberg. And the minor factions are fighting. Also possible thing for later on we have Littorio, Zara, Carabiniere, Maestrale and Duca degli Abrozzi going into Iron blood territory on order of Veneto and find a semi infected Vichia/Iris investigation party comprised of destroyers. And the Sakura and Eagle fight each other and find the siren suitcase and going: Oh YABE
hmm to prevent the Iron Blood gals from using their runs to destroy the hordes perhaps the rings are an easy infection method due to them being connected to the bodies of the users or perhaps when the shipgirls are infected their rigs can still be used to attack ?
or should the rigs be the reason why the Iron Blood gals survived the longest out of the normal humans there ?
I present the fantastic phenomenon of cube corruption. They get infected faster when they use their riggings and can carry the virus around because the riggings will be around 3 or 1 degree Celsius. And in turn get infected because their body temperature is lower because they “run” on their wisdom cubes.
No more like the humans suffer the worst because they virus is tailored to cause chaos among the ship girls. And it’s an Ebola like zombie virus to them.
Also Ebola is classified as a danger category 3 micro-organism
hmm oh god think munitions fired from the infected ship girls rigs would be infectious ?
Hmm no because the temperature of a shell being fired alone might be enough to sterilize most of the shell. On a short distance maybe because the shell gets heated due to its velocity. We are talking like 11 to 15 meter.
hmm and that's not taking into account the heat from the explosion aswell
Yeah that’s the shame of micro-organisms the max temperature a micro-organism can survive is 60*c believe.
And also the ammunition doesn’t have to infected. However with AA ammo it could be that due to the size it cools down enough in the open air to still hold any potential infection risk. But that’s to iffy to be used.
hmm though thinking about it the riggings wouldn't last long with their infected users due to the cube corruption
that would render the rigs useless and rust away into nothingness after enough time
they would become deadweight for a while after the mechanisms inside stop working
Not perse the META ships also have gone through cube corruption.
hmm so the rigs would still work ?
oh boy that keep their danger still high
But less efficient like one of the guns jamming or fireing only one or two barrels per turret. Or rust on the side.
also those with shark like teeth lashing out and biting and such
Like they are on 25% combat power
No the riggingbeasts will be more sluggish and most of the time mis their mark.
true but if they do land their mark you know whatever is caught in their rusting metal jaws is either dead or dying fast
Bleeding out or incapacitated for the rest of the story
yup and possibly infected
No likely because most have some form of energy in their maws which sterilizes no that doesn’t take care of the outside. Good point
Also having them come across corpses of other Iron blood girls that where killed and show signs of infection. For this you can use some of the Z sisters and U boats.
yeah hmm i kinda see tactics being formed to fight the infected ship girls with their rigs being priority targets and almost always using range against them
like they find the bodies washed up on the shores of Iron Blood territory and try to inspect them with those inspecting the bodies unknowingly getting infected due to physical contact with the corpses or perhaps one of the corpses upon contact "awakens" and lashes out attacking the closest person there and infecting them
No more like the zero moment more being Geinsen and some Z coming back and Geinsens psychosis takes over and she lashes out. And with the bodies that is most effective when they are on the run.
For this story if a person dies before being infected they don’t zombiefie. They are a thyfoid Marrie* until the virus dies of over pollution.
*Phenomenon where an infected dead corpse causes an outbreak.
just thought of something.....infected carrier girls.....their rigs think the planes they launch will all use kamikaze plane tactics ?
or would the planes launched be able to shoot but just way off point ?
Some thing like that because I think the plane will have some sort of intelligence because not all carriers operate them like a hivemind.
Maybe one or two odd kamikaze to show the clear difference between infected and clean
yeah
hmm but yeah for Bismarck how do you see her getting infected and lasting before the virus takes hold of her ?
She uses the early discused Siren compound and is stil “there” when she sees Tirpitz approach (via a terminal or a window) lying there clutching here wound making it clear to Tirpitz it’s over for her.
But let’s move to DM’s for further discussion.
ok
original character sketch
||Consider shading the eyelash and eye white||
Hm, maybe do the fingers, shirt frills. Might also want to do more shadows from hair, and the hat should probably cast a shadow on the forehead.
Also the ahoge and the hair around it are currently receiving one solid shape, might want to split it up to make it more 3D
While I'm at it, the puffs around the arm, whatever the technical term for that article of clothing, currently have one spherical shade. May want to accent the folds.
i would recommend using more gradient colors, it makes a cool effect 
wip 
it's time to improve background and shading
Well her clothes is based on this girl
Oh, and her gender too? 
Horsegirl ear ornament refers to the gender of the real horse
Left ear is one sex, right ear the other
Oh I didn't know that

another AL contest huh....where is the info

https://twitter.com/Kyl4900/status/1546963151324753921
well it's posted 
HOOOOOO
YO!
made it smol instead
;p
your shadowing still looks good to me 😉
Kinda sucks tho
Maybe i should use hard instead
maybe try continuing the soft but add a little hard in the darkest places
*and hard light in the lightest places
are you trying to do cel shading specifically?
Hmmmm
Alright
I Just trying the usual shading like others did
So i guess i can't do those so
I'll try other way

Very cute, love the hair 
thankyou

She needs hugs
There's only one thing you should be concerned about and that is drawing a titty
Draw titties on ships, be free
Or draw toad
Thats no tiddy
You can give toads tiddy
Now you’re speaking my language
I should make a bird girl anime game with my bf
And just draw each species of bird with a rack
Gonna start popping in this channel with bird girls
Battle Birds it is, then
Man... how do I design ship rigging 
😉
Welcome!, your art is really cute keep it up!
thanks 



@kind warren lets not post nsfw content here, dont add censors to draw attention to nsfw areas and if she is clothed, dont add censors to make it appear as if she isn’t

Would suggest looking at both the irl ship and ships from the same faction as one you're designing (latter if applicable, if not probably just take a general look at AL rigs for inspiration)
Speaking of drawing
I might draw dragons if I can get the motivation 
Orrr quick doodle/sketch of a dragon from a petsite lol
I rember a time when I drew original US shipfus (around 2015-2017 when AL didn't exist yet), KC rigs were the baseline
me, my friends were the university library and images from navsource

Really?
Earlier AL ships also have more shiplike rigging.
That said, there's usually very little resemblance to the real vessel. It's lots of joints and random plates. The practical attitude of mine has trouble following that.
And if I wanna take a more modern approach the rigging gets more fantastical, but I have a hard time finding a Dutch theme.
Damn
Yeah KC rigging could get quite detailed too
Very diff vibes from AL but nyeh
ok,If I send erotic content, am I not banned
I wouldn't draw cheshire porn if I wasn't allowed by Zelda10010-san
Not even started it yet dang it.
I've did art.
🌴

KC is more based on the ship
Well AL has a good and beautiful rigging designs too but sometimes its out of the ship that they based on
But that's not important
I know degenerates look at boobs only

Just kidding
Its ok, we all know its the truth.
nah the tummy is where its at 
KC isn't any better than AL in that regard but KC is much more down to earth and that one helps a bit
What KC does better than AL is the tech aspects of rigging and Abyssals. I really dislike the applied phlebotinum in the form of cubes and "infinite energy" AL likes to throw at everything. I really, really do.
It incredibly diminishes the character struggle when you know kansen are basically a naval equivalent of mahou shoujo, capable of summoning BFGs with infinite ammo out of thin air, aren't susceptible to "damage" like any other matter - be it animate or inanimate - is and seem to be capable of acting on days to no end without a break.

Does anyone know how to make those shadows that are casted when light goes through a bar
Cause I feel I’m doing this wrong
There's many ways to achieve that
You can create a mask based on the cage, offset and morph accordingly with how the light source would cast a shadow
I see
...or you could do it by hand 
By morph you mean stretch I right?
I’m not a masochist
Stretch and bend
So set a layer mask For the cage
that said, you'll have to decide where the light comes from
Then stretch and bend it depending on the light source?
Not like that
What I mean, is you use a mask to quickly copy the shape on another layer, fill it in with appropriate colour, set gradient/layer options and afterwards do the morphing to set it properly
That said, shadow will be cast on character as well so it's not as easy as it sounds
I’ll see what I can do
It's a bit of work
you could do it on two layers and set one for the background shadow and another one for the character
...or just don't do it at all and make the atmosphere dimmer
That said, you don't have to go as far in this case, casting a simple shadow should be fine; most people don't really look that hard to spot inconsistencies, if there will be any to start with
copy/paint the cage bars onto another layer, morph to make it look as its cast at appropriate angle
normally i use some lines to define the direction, they all must go in a single direction, after that i just use them as a reference to make the shadows
shadows can be made on some different ways
Done!
The beach bunnies idea was NC's, and NJ loved it

Ayyyy, great job! Love the shine on her tentacle keep it up!
Looks better than the first one i guess
I think Hard shade works on me
But i want to try the pro artist style



should my illustration for the contest be 5760 x 3240 w/bleed or A3?
im worried ill have to chop off large parts
I will continue to paint

Well, I think I have done art. Anyway, her name is ESF Cagayan, Rhine class Stealth Frigate.

hi i have requestion a commisson 
Yes i have Made over Google Things i ill say i have "Look in Google etc your have a New requetion" 
Her swimsuit skin is the pinnacle we don't deserve
Her swimsuit skin is the best, i hope one day I'm worthy of drawing her

Loving the colouring and shading so far keep it up!
Looking great! Can’t wait to see it finished
I think i did this right

I can design fully-dressed grills just fine 
Silly you, that's not how you practice anatomy. You need to draw more naked ladies. 
Hello!

I got some clay to make a figure, but I’m indecisive on if I want to make regular reno or reno bunnino
There’s pros with each like reno bunnino being able to sit, regular reno has a simpler pose etc etc
got my new tablet today and tried to draw malin using csp trial, csp feels so nice i might need to buy it


I like
GOGETAAAA
Did you make this

Was that a yes?
Yeah
Still making wonders I see good job please
I'm working on some rn too
I think I should expand the neck
Neck is off-centre, or the face is to much in the direction if the viewer.
Eyes and nose are also too far up
Neck is a good length tbh
I find it helpful to draw the shoulders before judging the neck length
that moment when you are like, can any of you like make abstract art?
making one of my oc to semi realistic
its been at least 1-2 years since i did that design
wip 
you can either learn feet anatomy or take a picture of your feet or find a feet on the internet and use it as a reference
its really useful, always use reference!
drawing is pain... colouring is going to be even worst
debating if i should just replace it with regular leg
So cute. I like her bellybutton
Memole from Ultraman, cute-ified

i literally just read this now ops, in my opinion/perspective, the right boob suppose to be larger and the underwear on the left side's perspective is a bit off to me
@honest flume this is something i would but yeah
also u might want to add some bump near the thigh part where the legging or socks???? are located
Thanks
trying draw lineless
I see tago
Very nice! I love her fluffy ears.
Thank you.
redesigned a school emblem from a past RP


making abstract art that you like and think is good is the hard part
i love that manga
UltraKaiju Humanization Project?
You’ve read it?!
yes, only the first volume physically but yes i have
Awesome! I like it too. It’s the only Ultraman thing I’ve ever enjoyed. But it’s made me learn more about Ultraman than I ever cared to know about.
I’ve been designing a bunch of other Cute-Ified UltraKaiju whom I feel SHOULD HAVE been in it. I have 8 done so far.
BTW Eleking-Chan, Jamilar-Chan, and Antlar-Chan are my favorites.
Hardly anyone I know has even heard of it. It’s such a refresher to meet someone who has. That manga was way too cute!
my submission rejected because they said i need to link a social media post with hashtag 
pretty sure i gave the link
Why cant i post images here, do i need an artist tag or whats the requirement?
Welcome
Yeah you will need the lil artist role before you can start posting
You can get it by going to the #bot-spam chat and putting in the command
One second I forgot the command
Check pins here
Thx
Can't wait to see your art!
My fanmade art of Musashi. Feedback appreciated since im somewhat a beginner.
Beginner?! That looks great! Love how you put texture into it, keep up the great work
Loving the colours and shading, the way you shade just so impressive, keep it up!
Thanks
Idk
I tried
@solemn saffron hmm maybe changing the direction of the lines of the tail shadow might improve it
or not making the outline of the tail as one line
Did I do good laffey
depending on how long you draw everything except the face composition looks fine
hair doesn't look like a solid block of something, the body proportions look fine too
just the position of the mouth nose eyes to each other look whack to me
but well i'm not realy good. so i might be wrong about the body proportions part
wip
looks like a kiara
Good luck!
Nice sketch
Thanks
Pain....
Bro
Teach me how to draw semi realistic faces
This is the best i can do
Artoria 
honestly idk what to say... i usually draw like a sketch then i color it
i like to focus on one part at a time before coloring the rest
also knowledge for colour theory and human anatomy is mandatory
also reference is key to these

wip

I can't do pressure variation because my stylus is jerry-rigged so what I'm doing is laying down thin lines I can come back and add weight to later
Right now rough hair sketch
woah i really like, especially the tranquil bubblegum pop colouring
⭐
Thanku !!
I actually finished it this morning
Tried a new style 
That's great. Line weight can make your art look more interesting.
I should learn it too... Now i just do random things and hope it'll look nice

She looks so cute
I’m gonna be making an oc too
Gothic Lolita dress with white drill hair that fades into purple

That’s the concept, at least
Sounds cool 
Cool
Yay! Gothic Lolitas are cute!
Very nice colouring! I like how the hair looks especially.
Thanks 
I think this is nice.
Testing colours and shading for first draft
me decided to join the contest... still enough time left
Ahm, what size? I cant find any infos on the submit page? 
If I was making a saber clone with brown hair, what color should I make the eyes?
Grey?
And we’re talking a deep, dark chocolately brown here
Like, borderline black when wet or in shadow
yeah grey or maybe purple could be cool
wip
Dawwww
Fluffy fluffy chesire
Convergent evolution
All things become Helena for she is the supreme being
If it helps, I’m doing green for the cloth and reddish brown for the leather
Sword hilt will be chrome (grey because I can’t do chrome) and the blade will be purple
Was gonna use this for a genshin art comp but idk anymore
Drawing motivations been pretty wack past 2 weeks
have done a sketch of Formidable the other night, need to find the motivation to finish it 
Maybe I should just submit without a background lolll



fill the layer with blue, put gradient, then just yeet some cloud 
Id reccomend referencing a real image that’s similar to what you want to go for
Clouds are the harder part though since trying to figure out their lighting with all the fluff is well ,, complicated lol
Yo that’s looking really cool so far
its almost friday again 
thats what i did to one of her legs LOL
at this point i might even turn the other leg back into flesh instead
