You get money for comissions then
it's happened to a lot of digital artists
Tanka
and you will have problems further down the line
vouchers instead
vouchers
ohh
Honestly, there's not much of a choice nowadays

you could ask for amazon giftcards i suppose
I got mcdonalds
if you buy your parts on there
amazon usually has pretty decent prices for pc parts
i used that and newegg
Back in the old day, direct paychecks were a normal thing, nowadays it's uh... a big no
i usually buy from germany
that’s the easy part the hard part is trying to buy an amazon gift card in gbp
might try to sneak open a paypal soon

I like going to the store itself
you are the shipping
Public transit is a godsend i got free bus rides bcuz of covid
don’t got prime 
prime usually runs free trials
don’t have enough to order a lot from amazon in the first place
My dad got nicotine addiction
oh valid
Ye
unless u buy them directly from the place that makes them and go there to pick it up
i live near germany so a lot of pc parts are cheaper to just order from the store
yeah i live in canada nothing is produced here
and pick them up w/ car
Its ok i still cry about the british empire
Make one with laptop screen doe...
O mb
like brighter than a ring light
that's how they're supposed to be, dummy
i had to get the brightest one cause i work with thick papers and toned tan and all that
yea...
the other ones wouldn't be able to go through that
lightboxes are actually very useful
idk i dont draw enough for me to justify spending money on a lightbox
so instead i borrow my art teacher's
i make money with art so i was like aight might as well invest in one
i dont use it all the time though
it's borrowing if you return it
im the only student in her class that uses it
That tru
must feel weird
Is this a school art class or not in school
At least you have no competition
i mean it's school art class but it's more sophisticated than most school art classes
oof i wish we had that
my school art class was so trash
that i ended the year with a 96%
lmao
cause people only join the class for a free credit
what is an school art class 
so they were like well your stuff is better than theirs
therefor you get highest grade
we dont get a free credit for art
no it's not like
free credit as in free
it's free credit as in
it's impossible to fail
ah
I got 70 in art class
well we have like art for 4 years
and then on the 4th year we go half art history half actual practical art
Because my teacher didnt like that i made a shitty meme pronect for my final
and then last 2 years art history
Thingy
so even if we wanted free credit u cant
i got honours in art cause nobody else did art seriously
i got an ugly certificate out of it
and like 500$ for uni
yea some people in my art class actually wanna go to art school
art school is not worth it imo
I'd say art schools are completely overrated nowadays
i'm only going cause i have a graphic design job with the gov
idk
people often mistake what art studies are really about
and they'll hire me as a full time perm employee if i finish the degree
damn
I would like to work art shit in the future but really i know its not gonna work out so im gonna major biology and touch birds
idk i dont think art school is worth it either
especially if u go to my school
because we have 6 years of school
instead of 4
just so we can go to uni straight
art school mostly teaches you to get out of your comfort zone and how to sell yourself
they often don't teach you whats truly important, tho
u may as well went to a normal school
oof it's 3 years here
Which is how to focus and stay motivated
And art studies are mostly fancy bs
My favourite art study: liberal arts
the degrees are literally useless outside the high art circles
😎
well not really
most jobs want you to have a degree in literally anything
IDK THO
fine arts is just an easy way to have said degree
today i almost fell asleep in bio class
most of the modern jobs want to see you producing results
most people ik who graduated with a degree in fine arts
aka experience + work portfolio
now make 6 figures working at insurance places and all that
cause they get their degree faster than normal degrees therefor they were the only applicants with a degree at that time
good luck 
Jay what is bio class like
for art related jobs yeah
well
The best way to land yourself a dream job is to work hard by yourself
Is it nature shit or human shit
Ew
id say art school its there to improve your art, but the degree is useless
i'm working the dream job now so bless up
what
Which means constant daily practice and by that I just don't mean drawing a lot; I mean drawing with a purpose
Elaborate
It's not just about learning, it's about knowing what to learn and doing it wise
well you need that daily practice before you can draw with purpose
I get what hes saying
drawing with purpose means nothing if it looks awful
everyone needs the foundation first
Like "i wanna be hired as a Concept Artist"
So you gotta practice as a concept artist instead of an illustrator
^
Not really
no
yes really
U are all sending mixed messages
if you've ever noticed
ah man
Like "Do this but not that"
just cringe
they can't
As a concept rtist u gotta have good ideas and be somewhat decent at drawings skills enough to not shame urself
don't even start with manga
narcosis rlly talking
this mans
xd
LMAO
the realism they put there on manga is more photoshop than actually drawing actually
ok prass
no like
they can draw full on realism on the side
they know how to draw realism
BEFORE
they work on anime esque stuff
because you need to know how to draw one
before you can draw the other one properly
i agree on that but not entirely
you need to know the foundations before you can venture off otherwise it looks trash
I wouldn't pick concept art nowadays; it's an incredibly tough, highly oversaturated market with lots of skilled competition
foundations are the BASICS
that's not even something worth discussing
^
But i though that is like
we're talking what to do afterwards
i just used concept as an example there
when you're somewhat decent at drawing and have both the guts and skill to produce
being an illustrator and a concept artist is part of the same package, being a full time concept artist requires u to excell at being concept artist
^
because they're both part of that foundation
Ok what the actual fuck do you mean by draw with a purpose
Be wise about practice
like
first learn how to draw
then choose where u wanna focus on
is that not how people do it in general
If you're going to focus on environment concept art, don't fucking focus on drawing characters
^
just become an one trick pony and only draw thighs
you have to pick
xd
very few people are capable to do everything at the same time and be good at it
Thank you for clarifying
At one point you will have to diverge and make choices
but people who do environment concept art can also draw characters..................
they can't
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
it's not the same
Ask deer about this he is 11 years concept artist
if we're talking industry standards
^
Ik for a fact that he can draw characyer and environment shit
cause people who are good at art are usually good at art it doesn't matter what their specialty is
i was gonna say that, he is talking about industry standards, not ur usual fanart character
yes even in industry standards
@formal temple You're wrong
lmaooooo
narcosis... you clearly don't know anyone that actually does draw professionally then...
it's not worth talking about this
i work with government graphic designers i've worked with concept artists for games
How about we just all ask profeshunal
i know people who used to draw for tv shows
like
i've never met anyone in any of those fields
And then come baxk and flam eachoter
who were only good at that one thing and couldn't do anything else
acer i talk to profesionals as well
Here guys, this video clarifies what Narcosis is talking about

I don t dout that brhu
Just get a guy who knows hella shit aboutbeverythingnto come and elaborate
i just don't really get what he's talking about cause i've met people who work within certain industries and they're able to do everything above the normal person
yuet he's out here saying they can't
exactly
like i don't get if he's just never actually talked or known to anybody who's worked and just heard random people talk about it once and took it as fact
he really thinks that artists who work in the industries are just one trick pony's
like if ypu
he really thinks that artists who work in the industries are just one trick pony's
thats honestly the norm for art industry
have evr seen the portfolio fo someone who's worked in any industry really
XDDDXDDXSDXDXXDDXXDDX
they'll show you that they can do other stuff too in their portfolios
they may excel in one field
yes
but they're able to do different things at an above normal level too cause it's literally the same concepts applied differently
U ever seen anyone draw animals
just because they're good at drawing mountains doesn't mean he can't draw people
Like not furry but actual animals
if you understand how things work you're able to apply that to most things
lol
...
I'm not going to comment anymore, but it's an issue with many youngsters nowadays
Never seen a dude who draw rly good realidtic animals
I thought narcosis finish university
lmaoo
I think
idk man
the innerleague player in me wants to flame
but i have kept it back for now
time to get some milk
The inner me wants to tell u that u r poopoo but i disnt say that
i just want it to make sense
Yet
wtf acer
no u
it's fine uwu
like if they don't want to listen
then im rlly not gonna put effort into it
it's just that people like that are the ones who gonna say that 5G spreads corona
didn't knew this is exist in pixiv page
pog
Japanese characters name please gove me shot oit on pixov
i just look for the character i drew
and steal tags from others
pro gamer strats
Indeed
@formal temple https://youtu.be/22XYoenU-0c if you want to actually learn/recall something useful; it's really refreshing
The ability to communicate with hand-drawn sketches is a fundamental skill that all designers should possess. For episode 101, Feng brings the series back to its roots and focus on the basics of sketching.
This episode starts by separating various subject matters by drawing d...

hella long but i'll check it out
He's actually talking about very important stuff from an industry's perspective
not much about drawing itself
yeah for me i already have something lined up but i'm sure it's prob useful for people still figuring stuff out
like it might just have good general tips which is still useful
lol
Off topic but I just rearranged my desk to fit my art supplies in and it’s 👌
Pink gamer girl set
off to a good start

PRO GURL GAMUR OWO
Keeping your desk/room tidy helps a lot
yeah def mine is absolutely horrid rn
I used to be messy in the past as well
i need to have it clean by monday so working on that right now
gl
enjoy
well i mean i just need to walk 2 steps beside my comp to get to my coffee machine
but i will have gl and enjoy
the small apartment life has its perks
I’m not getting my own apartment until next year
When I do I can scream all I want when I livestream

Still live with your parents?
Speaking of stuff, time to pay bills 
Not present
Yea man I save money
can't really scream all you want when you lvie in an apartment you can get evicted
live*
if people complain enough
True but it’s better than living with people who’s in the same apartment
yeah that's valid
oof i wish i had a desk that big
there’s still room on the right
desks are a problem
i need to invest in a bigger desk eventually but i'm gonna wait until i move out next year for that
I wanted a big one enough, can't find anything
cause right now i need to use my computer desk as my art desk too
Not much tho
idk my desk is pretty much a table
except with a little bit room
under
for ur cables
Unless you have an ability to order a hand-crafted product for your needs, it's an issue
true
good thing i don't need much room for art
just something that's bigger than like
another problem is my study room is quite small as well
30''
My room is hella small
Hey i have that lamp
I like to keep my room clean
and i'm prettu sure i coffee stained my white desk fml
smaller than mine but looks workable
Like I’m too lazy to do my bed
And that chair
but I clean regularly
i don't clean and it's an issue
wtf
we don't talk about it though
i do like one deep clean a month
say i'll keep it up
Nice room
then get the big sad and give up
Isnt majority of your living room ocupied by a rabbit
Lmao
but my own space i'm like meh
my mans is coming over to help me clean
Damn ill cleanr your roomjay
so you're onto something there
oh shit
My room too small to even fit a table without having the door stuck
you asserted dominance
u right and oof that sucks
acer are you s or m
he's both

I may not divulge that information as it compromises my field agents
@kindred cedar my room barely fits my table currently
Acer an M
No
If hes not, imma make him one
remember: t-posing is always the most powerful way to assert dominance
ok lads step one of cleaning my comp/art desk is complete. everything is now removed from it
time to wash
What are you washing with
wet cloth and some random dish soap i have
wash it with gamer girl bathwater
Does the soap smell nice
gotta hit up my girl bell for a deal on that rq
and it's like vanilla scented so pretty decent
aight ill buy some belle delphine
i just need the giant coffee stain off of my desk
i spilled it and didn't clean it for a week
it's gg
Mr clean magic eraser solves literlly any stain
just get a huge mouse pad
Its like an almost real magic eraser
this desk is trash anyways so i don't care too much it's just
not very gamur gurl of me to have a massive stain on my desk
Well
true
It depends
monkaS
Ok i am sorry
i mean men can have pink stuff too!! but nah i am of the femoid nature
this talk just reminded me that i need to go out shopping for food today 
2 weeks later i'll get corona
yeah i'm not too keen on having a lot of diff colours since my entire apartment is pink and white wouldn't make sense for my setup to be diff LMAO and oof get your food
i mean men can have pink stuff too!! but nah i am of the femoid nature
Oof I thought you were male the whole time
or order online
idk i remenber something like
LMAO I feel like most people assume people online are male until proven otherwise
half a year ago about uwu saying
that she uses herself for ref
and since then i just assumed she was a girl
yeah i use myself for ref for all my pics since i got that fem anatomy
if i was a guy it'd be a tad harder
OWO
idk bro
girls like when i wear pink hoodie but then i get called gay by the homies
it's either gay or gay'nt in this world
it is what it is
men rly b protective of their masculinity and it shows when it comes to the colour pink
wearing pink as a dude would work if your young
or at least ur not a viking-looking dude
LOL
true
if ur a viking
and u wear pink
that'd be kinda weird
im asian tho so all's good
thats all good
i cant because i'm said viking looking guy
at least the bum version of it
Now all I need to draw are her tentacles 
well it's save if you asume all ppl online to b male, there are many G.I.R.L.s about
is she a tentacle angel?

Hololive EN's Cthullu Vtuber
Ina
Her artist was same artist for Abi and Hokusai
@haughty tinsel i like the line art
her arms too thin
tho
and her right hand on the small side as well
feels a little bit short as well
arm length i mean

mmmmm nice lineart
its not lineart its the clean sketch 
2good4me
Tech me how 5 lineart pls
Epic

Jeez
not sure why excited about that lol
well it means that theres actually something wrong with me
instead of "oh yeah you are perfectly healthy"
as im starving to death
i suppose
Do you eat a lot Hipper?
i used to
but i havent eaten a full meal in 3 months
i am literally starving to death, i already lost 40 lbs
i had to get 8 vials of blood taken today for tests, and my body is so malnourished and weak that i almost passed out after 3
3 nurses were trying everything to get me to not pass out in my chair
so hows your day been?
Good, still unemployed due to COVID-19
Oof that sucks to both lmao
I got close to #artist-lounge and the rest of ALO indirectly because of COVID-19
I would be working, not being on weeb degen server
Sounds about right. Free time gets you wandering around lmao
I was a big grump before COVID-19, Hipper may still remember pre COVID-19 me
im on too many meds to remember anything
I still am largely unsarcastic and with a “noir” sense of humor
the only thing i know is that im selling my gallbladder for a 3080
Tea is still incredibly salty over me

I watch proko just to learn hands and arm anatomy and still looks bad , Im guess I am really bad on hand drawings =3= and yea its worth to watch recommended

id say drawabox then proko

Sick risk of rain art
hows quez doing?
keji in hr discord 


between college RP group, JP 3anniv stream, and my ongoing FdG work, ughh
I haven't played AL for a good while now
I just kinda lost interest. Guess depression and MMOs does that to you
return to AL, we are about to have Shinano
@cedar temple that's why I mentioned it
Not sure if I wanna even try
I've been gone for too long
By now I just want to be... happy.
Loli okudasai

Make her play fgo
al jp anni is a few days away right
the stream is only today
i wanan try to finsih for it 
But deadly
Ok, finally done Rider Girl Ark-One Line Art. Stay tuned for the full-colour version.
Mekka Onna
Lately, there's been a lot of warped art in AL. Do they even QC that Shinano?
I hope they will fix it before release
Mekka Onna
@fervent path That Mekka Onna is a female version of Kamen Rider Ark-One
If you know anything about Kamen Rider
I see~ umu Henshin~! yea I know I remember that ^W^
Yup, she actually the main protagonist on the series but was fallen to the dark side
hmm
Wakkatta
maybe I make Kamen RIder Version too . !!
I just need to choose one which kamen >=3

You have a very unique way of working on your art, Jolyne
Tks
I assume you mostly do traditional?
Ye
It's becoming rare nowadays
Really, I want to like the new upcoming art, but I just... can't
Were they working on tight deadlines
Hmm
It boggles my mind when art skills of someone are so good to produce such high quality artwork, but they make the most basic drawing mistakes and don't fix them by the end!
hmm the tails somehow look disconnected from the body or is it just me?
There's a lot of things
Tails are probably least of the issue here
One would have to be almost blind to look at it, and don't spot at first sight that something's clearly wrong with the character
and the hand has no thumb?
yeah, that too
but look at her head and basic proportions
head to body size ratio
her chest (no, not talking about breasts)
And legs
Skewed is the only thing that comes to my mind, when I look at this piece
swords in the background are also kinda ginormous and don't make much sense
hmm and her head is as big as one boob, but that's nothing new
I was thinking of nodachi at first, but these are way too large to even count as those
...is she even using them in the first place, or are they just a prop in the art to make it look more gaudy
eh the proportions are ok
and they can take as much liberty ont he sword as possible

There's probably a difference between artistic liberty and mishandling of anatomy basics, where do we draw the line
hmmm Nodachis are "120cm and more" long so it's not that big of a problem. they are probably anime inspired where long as swords are common
it's more about scale than size/length
ah
look at the hilt
you mean how the hand is too small for the hilt diameter
kind of reminds me of izumo’s not practical swords

yeah, but those are clearly shown to be a part of her rigging
I do agree the head seems a bit small
I don't know, it just looks weird to me
The body wouldn't look bad, if the head was the proper size
But when one piece falls out, everything just collapses
she playing
looking good
Who she looking at?
bulk assets
you do a couple changes and swaps and call it done
redraw over it to fit the theme/requirements
i kinda wish shinano had more rigging
its big but it doesnt kinda look complex enough
personally
this batch makes me horni
and happi
nor gonna complain
and just get like 3 l2ds
Not complaining either, but it bothers me on that side
theres 7 l2d in total
This sorta consumerism approach really kills the enjoyment on my side
Don't complain, don't question anything, just consume
they went mad with the skins this time
It's hard to please everyone, they're trying their hardest
But they might also have to draw a line somewhere
gonna do bg tomo 
hayai
meanwhile im still doing lineart
also my approach to AL stems from me doing some art for them
the artist prolly worked their hardest
so im less picky on mistakes
and as long as it looks good idm
plus the amount of skins now is probably bc yostar has more money theyve grown a ton in 3 years
Anyway, sorry if I sounded a bit too harsh; I often overthink things too much 
ahhh
@valid flicker she's very cute

welp Shinano is probably easier to draw than other Yamato class sisters
cuz flattops
Aalso hol up does she still have nine tails?
That’s a super cute idea ngl
instead of looking at table cloth
i looked up still life cloth
they are more classic looking
and has good fold

That face is giving me creeps 
mouth takes up neaarly 50% of the face that might be why
