hello
verbal sequoia
Thank you, in my series, she likes that outfit because she thinks it makes her look like a chocolate cupcake.
Said girl in the puffy outfit becomes a bit of a tragic character in mine too
calm karma
wait, the girl on the left is the girl on the top, the one on the right is the one on the bottom?

Though in the canon series, the one on the left was rather tragic too.

Girl on the left is Makie, girl on the right is my Fancharacter, Luto
Well anyways you know how the Battleship AIs in those are capable of projecting Mental Models of their On-Board AI, like a solid hologram that resembles a super fluffy girl?
verbal sequoia
My Fanchar, Luto, is supposed to be like the closest thing to a human Mental Model
calm karma
like a mental model of a human, or a mental model as close to a human as possible?
verbal sequoia
Some time after the scene I drew, she ends up suffering severe genetic instability that cuts her lifespan, but she manages to survive by Brain Uploading herself.
Later on, the AI she brain uploaded herself into is upgraded so she can project a Mental Model of the girl she used to be
calm karma
oh
verbal sequoia
Her Mental Model usually wears that puffy dress because she liked it so much and uses it from her old memories of when she was human
That's why
Luto in mine is a rather tragic girl. Through her Brain Uploading, she starts to realize how the Fleet of Fog AIs must feel, and there's some parts where she starts to doubt if she can be considered alive or not.
And BTW I really like puffy dresses and fluffy things too
Makes them cuddlier and more huggable
I also wuv maids too
Tragic but makes you wanna hug her more for that

one quick question for the people here
what canvas size do you typically use when drawing?

umm doesn't matter, depend on your device performance
but the bigger is better
i usually use 4k pixel
warm ingot
Anywhere from 2k to 4k in either dimension
calm karma
ok thanks
that makes so much sense now
ive been trying to draw thinner line art, but it gets so thin to the point of practical unusability, because the canvas size i typically use is 1k to 2k in both dimensions
warm ingot
Hm, yeah having a bigger canvas gives you more granularity in line size
stiff mesa
and u won't get bother by the pixel border when doing details

now either i get a better platform for drawing or i use 2k canvases, because mr phone does not like anything bigger

Nice job. Really does her Justice. Yostar seems to be putting a lot of emphasis into New Jersey given how she's one of the few Secretaries with an actual animation to her.

Your art is so much better than mine though.
How long did it take you? Mine took about 2 weeks.
gusty pewter
i actually prefer the anime style you do, its just im incapable of doing it
oh!mine took around 8 ish hours maybe a bit shorter
ive always envied people who can do straight anime or chibi i always find it challenging,,,maybe its the proportions that throw me off, i know sharper chins always catch me off

Why are there so many artists who are both better AND faster than me?
How am I gonna finish my fan comic if it takes me this long?

effort over time. the amount of time you spend shouldnt matter as long as the outcome is good
which the outcome is great!
i think your art is wonderful!
but i do understand the frustration, I compare myself to my fav artists all the time and its always Theres looks so good! and this, this and this is wrong with mine
art is the pure definition of "its not good enough >:("

do it! i would definitely read it

I donโt want it to be a fan fiction because nobody takes those seriously anymore and itโs hard to show good cuteness scenes or good battles with just words.

but no one should be bashing you >:(
its just disrespectful if anything, know your worth and dont let people who think they know you better dictate what you should and shouldnt do with your art ๐ค
art is an outlet at the end of the day and if they dont respect that they can go stick it
verbal sequoia
It's not just that
This one guy says that because I love cuteness anime and refuse to watch anything without cuteness, or him saying that me liking cute things is creepy. Like how?
Or some other people saying I have the worst ideas or that I'm an idiot.
gusty pewter
still disrespectfuldont let people like that get to you, trust me its not worth the brain pain. If he thinks thats creepy that says more about him TRUST me, thats kinda creepy that hes saying that
verbal sequoia
I.E. me telling about how I disliked the ending to this one anime because the Last Boss was beaten super quickly, and me using Saitama as an example of how that is NEVER a good thing (since Saitama is shown to be always pissed off about that). They say that's a bad argument? Like how?
Or another time he makes a Twitter post bashing me saying "Imagine hating an entire anime because it uses Stock Footage." That is a legit reason to hate something because it makes it look cheap and less exhilarating!
Why won't these people leave me alone? They even do it behind my back!
gusty pewter
thats a criticism and people are allowed to have opinions, even his shitty take that cuteness = creepy which in istelf is weird one may assume he is seggsualisng something that shouldnt be...

Yus.
Tbh when i see a landscape/background art piece, i take the time to stand there and look at it for about 5 minutes, and think how they've done it, how it was made, like some in gacha games.
And then only for a player to look at it and the rarity and imidietly dump it and not appreciating it for atleast 15 seconds.
Idk.
Maybe it's just me.

Then i did phisical media with a pen and paper and i miss my layers.

man, i want to do some crazy irl abstract art
but i need a butane torch and a fire extinguisher

Sounds cool, but why do that when you have digital art programs for half the price and third of the effort

Easy
Put a canvas
Put some highly explosive paint cans

Wanting to die because i want my art to look good but i don't have the motivation to go through with shading and lighting and stuff as the final obstacle
How to shade 101
Use different layers for different shading, use black and then use the opacity slider

Never black actually
Black shading will make everything look dead and ashy
You usually want to go in with a darker shade of the colour youโre using with a multiply layer or something but never black

I've never knew about this "multiply layer" until like..a month ago, I've been using poor-man's shading 
formal temple
Well you donโt need to use multiply or any of that fancy stuff but it helps
But yeah never use black for shading lmao
leaden orchid
I don't really know how to use the multiply layer much yet.
All i know is that it can be used to make the shiny anime hair thing
But how can you do shiny anime hair when 80% of the time you draw white/silver haired girls
formal temple
You make the base darker and the highlights white
Itโll still look white or silver as long as the shading on the rest of the body and clothing reflects it
Like if thereโs a piece of clothing thatโs also white and it looks brighter itโll make the hair not look white but if you make the white clothes the same shades as the hair or even darker itโll make the white hair look way brighter
