We have a pretty chatty lil gang in our server so we notice all the lil stuff going on in lil E totally welcoming to guests who wanna join to chat too 
They werent? Thats interesting to know, wonder why they made it necessary now
the specifications largely stay the same year to year but there's small changes here and there. no idea why it's actually changed tho
already mentioned before, but landscape orientation wasn't specified until this year either, tho I suspect that might have been soft rule for making staff pick last year
Oh they wanted horizontal/landscape submissions right?
they say so in this year's rules
I think it said something like 5760*3240 or greater but it must keep the aspect ratio
minimum resolution
I wouldn't mind joining Also I don't have a guild right now anyways
Mmm I gotta finish my submission
I can dm you the link or the server link is also in my "about me"

We love to have more artists especially
we also have guild spots

Oh let me see
I knew the gold would look better
it appears I've spread misinfo, last year's rules did specify landscape as well, however I guess they really didn't check as hard for submissions initially since I know a few people whose artworks were accepted onto the site as portrait orientation
based on works ID there's about 40 smth entries this year that didn't get approved so that's a thing
My friends didnt get approved but she resubmitted
Now its approved

Oh wow that's a lot of rejected ones
I had the wrong writing on my sandcastle sketch for the longest time too, luckily I haven't gotten that far yet lol
Zaku 2 Kai’s weathering done
Should’ve turned it into the Mudrock
Anyway, Gundams probably can’t rust?
Since Luna Titanium is a titanium alloy?
Someone who’s a chemist, please explain
With aluminum
Wait a fucking second
Thats’s

How did they not make it rust?
Titanium makes aluminum corrode on contact, doesn’t it?
Since aluminum is an anode and titanium is a cathode?
But existing titanium-aluminum alloys are rust resistant, so…….

like any metal they use a special coating to prevent corrosion
hes escaping

From what I heard, some mobile suits are made with a alloy name Luna titanium
And there like 3 variants of it
Also titanium doesn’t rust
At least pure titanium
If my Info is correct, pure titanium cannot corrode nor can it rust
However… since Luna titanium is an alloy, there is another metal mixed in there
And in a vacuum environment where there is barely any oxygen, titanium alloy will rust and corrode extremely quickly
They probably did what NASA or anyone who has made technology for space mixed in stainless steal and aluminium to create an oxide layer that doesn’t corrode
So in a nutshell
Mobile suite are primarily composed of titanium alloy, with metals like aluminium and stainless steel to create a layer to protect it from corroding in space
It would explain why the gelgoog Katz found in zeta was rust free
And if that’s not a likely answer…
Uh….
Anaihem electronic black magic
My question is how does a physco-frame make crystals
And why do i want to eat them….
Since phsyco frames are powered by angsty teen physic powers…
If it doesn’t kill me, I might have found a new performance enhancing drug

Its the theme of my crazy key woman, I love her sm. All you have to know is that she's married to that huge ass key she holds
She serves no other purpose in the gg lore as a whole
She's just the token keyfucker of the game
imma just.. go listen to extra..
I already went over this

boob 
boob!!
boob!!!


just working on my submission
anyways uhh still a wip
cute!!

BOOBA
but not big
I think they're pretty big
I prefer them not too big
Even though I'm drawing Helenas bigger than they are in her skins
Helena should have more adult body proportions even if the childish look suits her current popularity. She is, after all, the St.Louis sister, and it completely fail to see that.
Quick sketch of Nakhimov
I always see her as a young adult. I think in her secret she's pretty much grown out, she got some pretty big boobs there lol
Like those are quite a bit bigger than how they look in the retrofit skin
Not like they're bad when smaller, they're still a nice upper medium and I love her no matter the size anyways
Wip
ngl that blue cube looks yummy
What other characters should I do next
back on the commisssion grind
https://x.com/OrangeDactyl/status/1810794745574064378
can u draw yinyang from inanimate insanity next pls.......... 
Bet
I’ll do that when I get done swimming from my friends pool
Yes, it can see a noticeable difference compared to her standard skins.
It's time for Helena cosplay again 
Same
Pre retro helena looks more innocent but once she retros she gains thicc
And dont even get me STARTED on the meta version..

Cute 🥺
wife
Shes definitely.. thicc here 
Also ignore my trash gear on her im not using her rn

The Helena Meta is the only Vanguard shipgirl capable of squeezing enemies with her divine thighs... I mean stop time 
The face of hoping for an oath ring but seeing your gem stockpile
It's pretty much the same gear mine has because I don't have anything better 
im sorry helena
I do wanna oath her eventually
All my better gear on gals like Zwei and Laf2 rn
URs always hogging all the good gear
I wish we could get more copies of her so I could oath her multiple times

@green mason who should I do next
I’m gonna do four x and two
Also this is some artwork my friend made of my ocs (the buzzsaw is hers, not mine)
I have 3 BFDI ocs
Grenady (grenade), Flashy (flash grenade), and bullet (50 cal bullet)
cool!! 
Do YOU have BFDI ocs? :D
And my friend made this with her fingers and hand on a god damn phone
THATS HOW TALENTED SHE IS
I CANT EVEN DRAW YIN-YANGS FACE AND LIMBS WITHOUT MY HAND GOING OFF COURSE
yes
:0
this guy
i like making ocs 
What’s the password to verify to that server 😭
Nevermijd I got it
But it’s dead as hell

Some lady from hsr
Alright, just the BG and maybe some minor changes now
uss lena is lock in making that sand castle
good work tho
keep it up
THanks
yeah the plan was having one notice us/the camera while the other doesnt and keeps working on the castle
or if you probably wanna save time
maybe like a sand manjuu
a manjuu made out of sand
thats a good idea as well
or a manjuu making a sand manjuu
or a manjuu getting buried by other manjuus
My internet went down when I sent that message from my pc so if at some point it gets resend thats why lol
lol
so there's manjuu making a tiny sand castle.
manjuu made out of sand
manjuu making a sand manjuu
manjuu get buried in sand by other manjuu's
or a manjuu getting sand in its eyes by another manjuu
or a manjuu getting stuck in a bucket
or a manjuu holding a plastic shovel and wearing a tiny bucket as a hat having fun.
god i got so many manjuu's ideas
that's something
good thing im distracting you
anyways i got more manjuu ideas
a manjuu walking around blindly because of a bucket covering its body
or two manjuu's fighting with plastic shovels
or a manjuu getting sad because its sand castle got destroyed by another manjuu

Well I think I can implement at least one or two of those
But not today it's 4am now lol. I'm glad I managed to shade all of Lena today
manjuu!!!
Relationships :>
(Grenady and Flashy, the ones in the front, are mine and the ones in the back, Clay and Lighter, is my friends ocs)

Can relate
where is manjuu getting crushed by Helenas thighs
I have one beach activity for the Manjuus
Watermelon splitting
Yep
For comedic purposes 
You can make a scenario with the ideas shared by ghosty earlier
A Manjuu making a sand castle
but the castle was destroyed by a
Manjuu that got sand in it's eyes
that was caused by a
Manjuu shoveling some sand for the sand castle making manjuu
But they got hit by a stray water melon that was caused by a blindfolded Manjuu hitting the melon too hard
Yes I love when that hapens !!!❤️😚
that sounds funny but its a lot harder than just having manjuus do simple random disconnected things lol. But I will think about it
@green mason sorry if you’re sleeping, but can you possibly send me a friend request?
I wanna show ya some of my art
I thought theyre gonna be the mellons.
That kills the manjuu
Grenady and Flashys first date! (Theyve been a lot of dates after this. And next drawing they’re gonna be married :3) (and the reason Bomby is there cause in my universe Bomby is grenadys brother)

Little sketch
Doing texture mapping on Tirpitz again and I'm in need of ya'lls opinion. I'm currently texturing the 105mm SK C/33s and I'm wondering if I should give them a red roof or a grey roof. I could also leave the roof the same color as the rest of the turret.
The whole reason I've even come to ask this is because none of the 105mm mounts are visible in Tirpitz's splash art.
poor manjuu
@green mason sneak peak of my ocs wedding :3
i loev object marriage
KIRYU CHAN
looks awesome
Ironically enough, I've done more work on Tirpitz than I have on Bismarck (at least texture-wise)
aint they look the same
For the most part yeah, but there's a bunch of minor differences that makes it a bit of a slog
They differed in number of small-calibre anti-aircraft guns during the war.
Numbers mostly differed because both had renovations at different times. At the last months of the war the difference was about 20 20mm guns as I remember.
I can re-read the book but now im just too lazy
I only remember that the crews dislike the 50 cal
Added Bow/Bot, Fan, and Test Tube to the wedding
As an anti-aircraft defence in the IIWW 0.50 were a poor choice so I am not surprised by dislike of crews
4 50 cals for a battery might work
like the M16 mgmc
fucking shit I just rolled through some furries P*
At land warfare yes, at navy when you need cover big potential target you need more "arresting power"
That's why at 1945 us Navy prefer higher calibers
also the Navy chief or department or st like that were somewat stupid with their radar placement
chose the 180 instead of 360
I literally have the book by my side but too lazy and dark to even open it
This is pretty interesting fact
the crews and the ship command literally begged them to place it on the top for 360 but yuh
which proved inconvenient during the battle with kirishima
as they can't identify whether it was kirishima or SD
Some ships paid very expensively for design flaw
also Washy has 2 nicknames
Rusty W and Mighty W
Took a long time to figure them out
Rusty is propably the less glorious one
Rusty because the ship was rusty compared to King George (I think)
the crew named her that
I don't remember the details tho
and before her end
she was left dirty and rusty
which hurt my feelings
Approach to ships after the war in all countries was truly cruel
I think Washy has the worst fate out of 3
SD and NC have their own memorial
I think this is her memorial (at least it is what I will call it)
If I ever become a milionare or bilionare, I would open a whole amusement park bout her
which never gonna happen
Well, Ensi is still alive today. But without sister 
sounds just like NC
Ah, yes yes, I sometime call NC "Ensi"
So how to the commission requests work exactly, I just submitted one and wanted to make sure that people understood that was me and if there are interest in taking the job they knew how to contact me outside up the info I put in the form
ah do you mean the ones in pinned messages? im not sure if that is still operating
Yes those exactly, if those arent operating then is it ok I post an advertisement in this chat? I don’t wanna break any rules I just want to get a reference picture of a boat girl OC for an azur lane fanfic I’m writing
okay well the sand looks horrible but I am too weak to make it better

Help, he got my book
@green mason Z (still not complete yet)
So turns out that I technically have the same birthday as Trento
So uh
Should I draw her for my/her birthday?
Like, at the specific time when it’s my birthday, it would be the anniversary of her lay out starting in Italy
HBD? It’s way too late/early for that
Won’t be for
Uh
Seven months minus a tiny tiny bit
But thanks

My entry for the 6th Anniversary art contest:

awesome job
that anchorage is soo gooby I love it
I got 4 days to submit my entry
you 🤝 me
Running out of time for the contest
Haven't been drawing cause my ass been busy on top of going through a hurricane
I think I might just do the rest of the BG simple and blurr it to oblivion
oh, I hope it wasnt too bad
Why you squish da V1
There are the items, and then there's Hong Kong.
That’s my friends oc
Flaggy :]
Ohh
He can change into any flag
(He’s the flower boy for my ocs wedding so he’s the Hong Kong flag)
Ok because I have not gotten an answer, I want to apologize if this breaks any rules,
I am looking for a digital reference commission of my azur lane OC boat girl, I only have an ai generated image ref image for them to work off of and a written description of them, but I would like to have done by an actual real artist, so that I may commission others in the future using this new piece.
I would like to have two versions of this reference image one SFW and one NSFW, (basically one with clothing and one not)
My budget is 100usd via PayPal goods and services (that would be 50 for each pic)
Please DM me with a portfolio/website link to view your past work, I do not want this ai generated I want an actual artist, if i suspect you of using ai generation for commissions I have the right to refuse.
This is however a no rush project, but I would like the completed work to be done before the 15th of August.
also this is not required but would help, i can pay 25$ upfront and the rest after completion, but if you require all upfront i can pay the full amount.
Too bad guy who asked for a commission said it’s not traditional media
Otherwise I’d be taking
Yeah sorry I need digital or at least it to be scanned into a digital format, so that the colors are clear and easy to be seen and translated into other future commissions. If I had a proper reference sheet already I would certainly like a traditional drawing.
Floof?
And I don’t own or have access to the colors I was trained with
I understand
But if I did, color clarity would not be a problem
Haven’t been able to do a properly colored piece in three years though
Wait the submission size is 10MB max, even as jpeg im over that lol
I had the same issue
I used https://squoosh.app/ to compress it without changing the dimensions
From 17.9MB to 7.2MB with no noticeable difference
what did you save it as?
I think it was MozJPEG or Browser JPEG
Alright, and it got accepted?
I submitted it earlier after I posted my art here but it's not on the contest site yet
Probably still under review
Speaking of the contest site, hope that obvious AI art of Shinano gets taken down soon
lol
Okay I uploaded it
anways here is the end result lol
https://vxtwitter.com/Wororg/status/1812289565325136253



Btw I assume you are also drawing Helena (and more) for the contest?






The fear of not finishing in time is real
yeah I am so glad that I managed to finish today (well its 4 hours past midnight but whatever) so now I have a slight buffer in case I forgot something and it gets rejected
Are pixiv links allowed for submission?
Good question, it's not really a typical social media platform but you can post images with hashtags there so technically?
Yes, it is allowed
booru however is not
Why are actual artists being rejected over small things like signatures or dimensions and yet that is approved and uploaded? That seems very poor on manjuus end

There will still be the staff selection after the submission deadline afaik
It will be taken care off so do not worry too much about it
Last year there are 223 submissions and only 30(?) was selected to enter the voting period,
So there's that.
Very true, moreso just seems a bit questionable an AI piece that is super obvious got accepted but atleast they look it over before they open up the voting period for people 
I drew smol poteto in Marin Liekuriva's chibi style

I love your bagpipe drawings, very cute!
this is a. sandwic
She's cute btw
Oh that's cool!
If you are wondering why she’s British it’s because her name sounds very British
In the manga she is called Lucillia Lockhart
She is the summoner that replaced the previous one

If the dialogue and get up isn’t obvious enough, Lucillia is a veterinarian
I thought it would be fitting for her to be a vet if she’s a summoner


First thing that popped in my mind was this face

Forgot the katakana sfx
That was the reference
Knew it
Damn my guy has thunder thighs
Idk what muzzle flashes look like so i hope the pose i made looks good
What do you think?
I mean i just said what i think
It looks like his thighs are huge
Maybe try to make them thinner?
Cause rn hes a smash
XD
Anything else?
I’ll make the armour plating there smaller
Maybe make gun smaller near his hand
Yeah the gun is incredibly big compared to his hand rn
Cause it looks like were facing it at 90° which doesnt make any sense
Looks like he purposely rotated it
Man my english feels wrong
Apart from that, everything looks pretty good
You could also try making text bigger since its very hard to read without zooming in
Sounds fine to me
Much better
Anything else?

how do you draw someone holding a french fry basket


I was doing funny hand poses
like this you mean?
found this on google
I think I nailed it
im going to get stab by those antlers
shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan
And now she's a maid
excellent
I salute you
I am having an aneurysm rn
Boobs are my eternal enemy
😔
pinning the tail on the donkey's ass

I quite like how it's drawn but like someone already mentioned the text needs to be bigger or cut down for some of those bubbles lol
I think i can make it nore readable if i make the bubbles bigger so the text has more space
That can work yeah.
But be careful that it's not too much text as well, could be overwhelming
Noted
Orochi and her sister ships
Thanks!
That sent late
I feel like redesigning the mage
She looks too much like Lisa
doing me wife
I made the fries comically small, will fix that in the future someday
i needs tp gp tp neds
Whoa
man, that's probably too little clothing, will probably get a bonk
OOH NICE😻
Even if that's the case, the character on the drawing actually has no clothes on except for that fabric

Congrats for what having good work deleted or was it a submission for the contest? 
Pumpernickel Tiddies~♫!
hey no asking for nsfw content
you could just dm them, without using the server as middleman

every time i look at loaf's of bread i'm thinking about this now.
Is that a bread with huge boobs..?
Yes,… yes it is.
You are all welcome…
I might just skip the contest
I will be excited to finish that spooky drawing
gonna be my first print drawing
Nyoo
The 6th anniversary art contest
Uh, okay. Did not know its a whole rule that you cant even ask to see a piece in server.
not really used to art stuff being so restricted and stuff, I guess LMAO
(Maybe its because in my community we have designated channels which allow artists to share very freely, much different experience so my bad LOL)
I wanna be apart of that community
for the contest, i used the pinned psd as a template and it's 5760x3240, is this ok for the submission or does it need extra pixels for the bleed line?
I can always happily share you, or anyone a link, no need to join our guilds or play AL actively, we just really love artists and wanna support their work fully
I would greatly appreciate that
I think it should be fine
Thank you
Of course cutie!!!

almost done, just need to add the 6th anniversary phrase and some other random touch ups
awww so wholesome!

thats the minimum resololution but they mentioned a 20px bleed line, not sure if that just means "dont put anything important in those 20px or if they expect at least 5800x3280
yeah im honestly not super certain about bleed line specifications lmao
I put 10px on all sides this time
since that's what I thought a 20px bleed entailed
pretty sure in the past I didn't even do that though so hopefully it's not really that strict
i'll just hope this is fine then, if not i hope i have time to resubmit

You have a good day or so to fix dimensions atleast
Hope for the best, Luna!!!

Checking the submissions on the website it looks like everyone put different resolutions lol. I guess its fine as long as you keep above the minimum and keep the aspect ratio
^thats what I think too
tl;dr aspect ratios lets you choose whatever pixel count you want as long as they divide into the same number
what paper they using?
anyways

copy paper is 8.5 x 11 inches, so you can do a 8.5:11 ratio. For example, if I want it at 300 dpi: 2550px by 3300px. I can also do 5100 by 6600. Just take the ratio, and multiply by whatever factor
let me do the maths for you

is the 20px included in the aspect ratio or not based on this wording?
yeah I know, I was just using copy paper as an example
yes
Luna drew digitally 
Dunno how copy paper is a useful reference, think the pixels is easier to go by ngl
the point of bleed lines is for printing tho so that's where the paper comes in
Thats what confused me at least, I feel like they could have worded that better
True tbh
Some of the rule wording is ... 
So the aspect ratio is 11.7:16.5 inches (since they using DPI here). They already worked out for 350 DPI, now you can go higher if you want, just mutliply whatever number above 350
16.5 * 350 = 5760
11.7 * 350 = 3240
Take whatever factor above 350 you want, and it will meet the same requirements
20 pixel bleed line is to prevent the printer from cropping it, it is common to have that in photography
If you just extend the canvas by 20 pixels on both sides, should not affect the ratio
(btw, if you extending you canvas on both sides, make sure to increase the size by 40 pixels)
its what I went with in the end, 5800x3280
^
extending all sides by a fixed amount technically does affect the ratio tho
yes
not a lot but it's not exactly the same
let me check
neglible ig
Virtually the same in pratice
no, you cannot ask users for stuff that breaks our rules within the server
kk
its not a seperate rule because it falls under like the general rule itself if that makes sense, it cant be present here
tl;dr arists should know ratios because it will make the publisher happy
and the printer guys happy
i hope i can get good enough for that to matter some day 
You are plenty good enough~
artwork that does not fit any ratio will be cropped or god forbid they use the "fill" option, it would distort it 
bleeding lines also prevent the art from being cropped cause printers are stewpid
(yes, I had to fight a printer before)
and I am sure I am going to run into more problems with my poster artwork


I never understand how hair strands work 
same, sometimes they look like tentacles for me
Loose strands help give hair a natural flow for me
think about big hair shape first and then add little strands that don't break form
This is good starting point yeah

for anime hair imagine it as a flat noodle of sorts, that should keep it from becoming like a tentacle. not too much volume
it can bend and twist but it's one shape
also think about the shapes where they merge together. you don't typically need too many small strands, they're an added detail which can help draw attention to an area
What if it comes to shading? When I try to shade them according to the direction of light they come out very stiff
think about it in terms of surfaces first, and keep it somewhat consistent with the general light direction. it doesn't need to be super rigid
idk if this makes any sense , it's kinda just the way I go about thinking
Ok, I have must try it. Thanks for help 
It makes tons of sense, you have some great insight
The lovely artists in this channel are so talented
yeah its a good explanation
Also I think hair shading can have quite a lot of different styles
Hair coloring and shading can be so diverse its almost daunting to find your own style
I learn to have fun with it
yeah, I found a nice guide that i am following for mine right now but its fun to try around a bit and see if you can maybe come up with something nice looking
Agreed, same for shading in general ngl
If anyone wants they can DM me, I have a great skin shading tutorial I have been looking into, its very informative for digital artists getting into layer work and cell shading
guides are a nice way to get an idea how others generally go about drawing, but it's also good to avoid letting things become too formulaic. experimenting with new stuff is one of the more fun parts with art imo
and different scenarios may call for a different approach, it just depends on what you wanna draw
I think guides most useful angle in general is when they explain layer function/color functions
yeah it's definitely good to know what tools you have access to

Yah, not exactly related to apply shading techniques but I was scared at first about having to draw so much new stuff I havent done before for this contest but it turned out to be A LOT of fun to try around so I am glad I did
im glad you did too because theres no amount of money that could be worth seeing 2 helenas making a sand castle
Stg one of the cutest submissions ever
So true, lots of great pieces from here especially
I was practicing drawing mecha and shapes then I thought of a idea, manjuu suit
too lazy to do more work on this
If that is lazy, then man I must be a slouch. I need to actually finish that project for like going on 2 months now 
think last month I spent a total of like 5 hour
I got burnt out and then struggled to go back to it
you did amazing job
btw
You and me 🤝
I did some experimenting, and I tried overlapping them
you know..
fck it, might was just draw full on agir cheese
(maybe I should finish the other 10 drawings)

very cute

wowww working on bgs too now! everything is coming together
Wonderful work!
A Panther M with a 85mm Gun, Ersatz Turret and a 20mm L-Lahti 39 gun on the turret
(One of the more Sped tanks I’ve decided to draw)
This is so real. When I was studying fine arts we had multiple classes on how to prep digital illustrations for printing. I'd suggest Adobe Indesign to set up your final document if any of y'all have it. There's a super easy bleed + crop setting you can add to your pieces that actually maps them out for the printer
Woahhh, looks amazing
Anyone have any name suggestions for the mage?
What’s a mature… but not an old lady name?
Karen
Lisa
The Manjuu Revolution
It fits her bur we already got a magic lady named lisa
Trying figuring out what shit to throw on my art?
Yams, pinto beans, anime figures, american flag, ketchup, chinese takeout 
fries
don't forget the mcdonalds fries
I already got the fries
Suppose to be a light project, but everytime I say "it is just a sketch" and always get out of hand

more fries
We still have time for the art contest right. Just making sure I'm not submitting when it's already done taking submissions
I think you still have about 30 hours
<t:1721285999:F>
<t:1721285999:R>
I think those are right
good luck!
hope y'all work hard and have a great time. I'm looking forwads to seeing those masterpieces
imma go asleep.
and probably dreaming about manjuu's
Thank you. I'll probably submit some time today
I wanna participate but ibis's canvas size is very limited = (
I didn't get to submit last time cause my canvas was too small
oof. But atleast you can make those beautiful artwork tho.
you do you red
Keep up the good work
Thanks
no problem! you deserve recognition for your artwork
How sweet 
Tbf I did the artwork and I'm paying a friend to make it digitally, and he uses Ibis app. And iirc the size he has it is fine (I hope)

Hot
Amazing
Maybe you can draw on a smaller one and then use another tool to upscale it? Well it might not look that great but better than nothing
Shit I don't know if the rez is okay for the contest
Very sexy!!
her name is clover and she is stupid
she's a true gamer
Hi all, I’d really appreciate it if you would give feedback on my entry for the contest!! :D
Looks great imo
100/10 love it
XD
Damn it took like 5 mins to load it
But yeah looks great
Oh yeah the file is huge thanks 
MANJUU!!! so cute!
merry
rigging template
Anyways lets not think about sad things
God i hate drawing beds
Over 6 hours for that shit 
Totally not cause ive never tried to draw proper beds
Idk i was able to easily create the right size in ibis
Well, almost the right size
But its fine cause canvas can be a bit bigger
I’m done :D
did you put the "6th anniversary" somewhere?
No, were we supposed to?
yes

I already submitted it uhhhh
lol,,,
I guess technically you would need to wait for them to reject it and then resubmit? But its so close to end that sounds risky...
This is so insanely gorgeous the rendering ughhh
Maybe I’ll submit again
Yeah I think thats the best bet, add the text, tweet again with the text, submit again and put in the desc that you forgot the text
Ok
If they check the submission and see yours twice, one with text and one without they will surely understand
it would be a shame if this doesnt make it in, thats a Top 10 contender IMO
Yeah lol I hope they reject it in the next 10 hours
I think there are only 9 hours left, they surely should be checking for entries more actively towards the end right
hopefully lol
finally drawing that kashino oath i originally doodled like a year ago lol
Damn, looking good
second favorite goober

This is artist lounge I think you mistakenly posted your rolls here ?
Dunno why nobody moderated or questioned it, @past badger you didnt see or notice orrrrr

srry deleted
Not really on you cute stuff, no worries
yes no rolls here, its off topic 
Moreso confused with how this channel is lightning with censorship yet that stuff is just ignored xD
i had just recolored vanguard and yea got her while doing that so
srry for the off topic
congrats! the colored photo looks good
I think disc feedback is down the channel list 
Kk 
marvelous. absolutely amazing. i really like that 
I scribe
Are you sure?
Because I can see their initial sketch in the background
Faintly
If it is AI thats insanely disappointing then, I hope not
Bro, i have layer for each accecories for this , and you said this AI i deeply hurt by this
The chain is a brush
can you show it then? I'll apologize and take it back if so
Sure
If it makes you feel better, I didn’t think it was AI
But this is what my goofy ass art looks like, so I’m not the best judge
Whoever she is, she cute
I just erase the middle part
ok i see now, sorry for accusing you, it just looked too good and i got confused by some things 
Ok no problem ,thank you ♥
I drew fleuret as well before, maybe it looks much better if done rendered
amazing
Thanks!
do you need to have specifically artist role to post your art or you can just go ahead 
Gotta reposition the neck a bit but so far Im happy with how this sketch is going
Aha I did see a background sketch!!
good work
I love this so much
Thanks so much!!!
I think you need either the lil-artist role or the artist role. Not sure though but that's what it says in the channel description
yeah i was also reading channel desc
I mean it says that but literally anyone can post soooo
Dunno if they really manage the role much or anything since ive def seen random folk post here tbf
Maybe is outdated ?
I say just post and you can request a role meanwhile

There is no way that is MS paint omg
So good
Proves that you can work with any tools as an artist 
How does one get the artist role

They have some thing you can fill out or whatever? I think you need a social media acc with stuff on it
