i thought i was going to hear hatsune miku scream

rapid wraith
#

I don't troll people like that

#

Because I've been trolled like that

quaint olive
#

clicking on links in a public discord server can never go wrong

dressing azu like goku rn

buoyant gorge
rapid wraith
buoyant gorge
#

oohhh

#

OC

rapid wraith
#

i am drawing her OC dressed as Goku yes

buoyant gorge
#

nice

rapid wraith
#

because ????

buoyant gorge
#

why not

#

spontaneous creativity

rapid wraith
#

indeed

#

I would draw your stuff too because it's amazing but honestly I think that would just be silly on my part

#

I'd look like a toddler trying to imitate Michelangelo

#

like

#

HOW do you draw this?

#

absolutely off the charts

#

incomprehensibly amazing

buoyant gorge
#

I make sure that the general lighting is mapped out first (shadows have to have the same color temperature as the background, AKA if its red/purplish, then the shadow will be warm/neutral)

#

I use overlay for warmth in the light areas and to add subsurface scattering

#

I make sure the hair in the background get darker and blends more and more into the background color the further they are (atmospheric perspective)

#

Then I make sure all the shadows are present, form shadow, contact shadows, ambient occlusion, and a warm bounce light beneath miku’s chin, and certain parts of the hair

#

lastly i do a lot of color correction using color curves and HSV sliders to make sure the theme of the entire piece is somewhat warm

#

Maybe you didn’t actually want the explanation šŸ˜… but well, here it is. Thanks for your kind words.

#

Oh and an Add/dodge glow effect to make the highlights stand out even more

rapid wraith
#

mhm mhm i get it now!

#

(i didnt understand a thing)

#

so amazing

#

like jokes aside

#

I understand the concepts but I don't have nearly what it takes to actively apply them

#

I never make that kind of planning go in my drawings, I am too stopud

#

also azu anatomy done, now i have to avoid burning the kitchen with Goku gi because that is a nightmare to draw

#

cursed technique: Endless clothing folds

#

I better draw this azu thing quick so it overrides my last drawing which I am very unproud of and I want to hide it as soon as possible

buoyant gorge
rapid wraith
buoyant gorge
#

it wasn’t until around last year that lighting clicked for me, though its still not where i want to be

buoyant gorge
#

my art wasn’t all that great before then (even though i still have a somewhat negative opinion on my drawings even now)

rapid wraith
buoyant gorge
#

same character

rapid wraith
#

Although I already knew

buoyant gorge
#

like the left was around 2020, and I was tired of being stuck in the same place as an artist so i just grinded for the next few years. the one on the right was around 2023.

rapid wraith
#

bro did more progress in 3 years than me in 8

#

I have been improving steadily from 2020 until today. Anything before was dum dum era

#

but I still drew with passion ig

buoyant gorge
# rapid wraith damn, I might be a failure all things considered after all

no youre not. you told me not to self-judge and im saying the same. I just realized i could never shortcut my way to becoming better but i didn’t know where to start. I realized over time, that its just about tackling very small individual concepts over the span of a week or two each that led to me remembering things and buildling up my visual library.

#

i’m sure you’re great

rapid wraith
buoyant gorge
rapid wraith
#

i guess i can do that

#

i've already posted a thing or two in this channel

#

nvm i posted 4

#

lets see if i have something

#

i draw db so its mid dont expect much

buoyant gorge
#

took me a while to find

#

wut it looks good!

rapid wraith
buoyant gorge
#

i found the brown hair girl with glasses

rapid wraith
#

Here. Made this just a few days over a year ago. I did not improve that much in the meantime so it’s still doing good

#

hope they don't dislike scratches in here

buoyant gorge
#

i think it looks great.

#

tbh, the only reason i chose to suffer to learn so much in art in such a short span of time was cause i was so depressed from my career choices in life i wanted to start over. I chose art as my passion and a different job outside of the field of law. It’s just a drive to want to find a new path that got me practicing over these last 3 years.

native cliff
#

Looks good, was sds and dragon ball the inspirations?

quaint olive
#

fr you're both cracked

rapid wraith
rapid wraith
#

art for me has ever only been the outlet to run to

rapid wraith
#

yes you

quaint olive
#

i only started drawing in august 😢

rapid wraith
#

tbh later in my journey I started despising it because every piece started taking several hours and take a lot of effort, it became more of a matter of motivation than fun

and if fun was the motivation, it makes sense why I am always on hiatus.

rapid wraith
#

We are here to learn

#

if AI bro pulls up I am not afraid of getting warned again

#

WAIT

quaint olive
rapid wraith
#

I have an idea

rapid wraith
quaint olive
#

damn i missed peak (not biased)

buoyant gorge
rapid wraith
buoyant gorge
rapid wraith
#

for me it's simply stressful. It's about "either this comes out good or you wasted your time pal"

rapid wraith
#

my longest piece is like

#

uhhh

buoyant gorge
#

nowadays i am faster, but still not as fast as i hope. my range is anywhere between 4-12 hours still

#

whereas a lot of pro artists i follow average 2-6 hours

rapid wraith
#

6 hours and 51 minutes...................

..........................yeah, that piece.

#

what am I doing with my life.

quaint olive
#

its hard to get 6 hours in a day let alone 1, unless its your job i guess

rapid wraith
#

without considering a thingy that I didn't finish yet, which I foresee will take up of 100 hours total

rapid wraith
#

I only do so rarely

#

I usually pull all nighters to get them done in one big run

#

(i am insane)

#

then i go to work

#

then i return home

#

i finish the drawing

#

sleep

#

(die)

buoyant gorge
rapid wraith
#

And that's exactly what happens

#

I know myself and I try to avoid it

#

it has happened too many times, I've left too many pieces unfinished

buoyant gorge
#

maybe listening to an audiobook or something? That’s what i do when doing mundane parts of drawing like filling base colors.

rapid wraith
quaint olive
#

i usually dont colour just sketch cuz i have no time and im bad rn

buoyant gorge
#

keeps me distracted

#

so i don’t think about it

quaint olive
#

ok fine wait but its bad

rapid wraith
rapid wraith
#

the only thing that is bad is my sleeping schedule

rapid wraith
quaint olive
#

I drew this when miku was released in Fn šŸ˜‚

rapid wraith
#

unless I am sketching on my phone at work for fun during break

rapid wraith
#

bro took 6 months to draw as good as I did 3 years in

#

that's some

#

damn

#

there's only really one annoying flaw to this drawing to my eyes

#

the rest is literally nice to look at

quaint olive
#

the flaw is the png file

buoyant gorge
#

i don’t know if you like using learning as motivation, but i always draw with the intention to learn these days. If I’m not adding something new to my recent pieces, i usually don’t even bother to render them.

rapid wraith
#

the flaw is that the thumb isn't a thumb

oblique badge
quaint olive
#

errr icant draw hands

rapid wraith
buoyant gorge
#

but i found a lot of pieces that went the opposite route

#

and realized it was the background color

rapid wraith
#

In my art I really really aim hard to convey emotion and feel emotion, even though i chose the worst possible style to do that with (dragon ball)

buoyant gorge
#

that determined what the atmospheric perspective blends into

#

so if its the sky

#

obviously it would get lighter the further it goes

#

for distant objects

#

but if the background is darker

#

it actually blends into darkness

quaint olive
#

isnt it really just an artist choice

buoyant gorge
#

I mean i guess in that sense it’s not real ā€œatmosphericā€ perspective but for aesthetic purposes its the pattern i see

rapid wraith
quaint olive
#

maybe it doesnt make sense irl but looks nice

rapid wraith
#

i got a skeleton in my drawer (non vanilla drawings made)

quaint olive
#

sans

rapid wraith
#

so i feel like i dont have rights in this convo

#

yes, sans.

buoyant gorge
#

for the purposes of making something look better

rapid wraith
#

The lack of pressure sensitivity is really starting to hinder my stuff

#

I have to manually trim everything

oblique badge
#

I had that problem too neuroCry

rapid wraith
#

The gi is going well

#

But Azu is skinny so she can't fill it

#

she gotta train a bit

#

but i will not be the one to do that. this is practice to draw non jacked characters

#

am I sweating

sacred sage
#

deodorant

rapid wraith
#

no I must finish drawing then shower then sleep

sacred sage
#

er, yes showering is good

rapid wraith
#

yes showering good

#

not finishing drawing bad

sacred sage
#

sleeping is over rated

#

had to stop using my alt account here

sacred sage
#

only did it because hatsune miku was mentioned earlier

rapid wraith
#

what if wee both ended up here?

what if you shared the pain that i feeel?

in your heaaad, you're the good and i'm the bad

#

(i'm going insane at song lyrics while drawing)

sacred sage
#

the music is stuck in your head, or thats just the lyrics

rapid wraith
#

the music traveling through my ears and going in my head

#

who are you btw

#

you're funny to talk to

sacred sage
#

same person as odds&ends

rapid wraith
#

why did you clone yourself

sacred sage
#

uhh just can easily swap discord accounts on desktop so i have random useless alts

rapid wraith
#

I see, I see!

sacred sage
#

with names that im obsessed with ofc

rapid wraith
#

1 hour and 22 minutes in the drawing

#

I am still not done with the lineart

#

This will take north of 3 hours

sacred sage
#

i read that as linear algebra my brain

sacred sage
rapid wraith
#

yea ofc

#

I give my best to ppl

#

well, depends

sacred sage
#

if you continue using discord it might take longer than 3 hours 😭

rapid wraith
#

sometimes I go 70%, other times I actually go all out

rapid wraith
#

and i type fast, it doesnt reap that much away

sacred sage
#

multitasking

#

one hand each? one on the keyboard and one with the pen

#

or you could have piano pedals to control discord so you can use both hands for drawing

rapid wraith
#

yes i am that cooked

#

Azu's hairs are taking up 75% of my budget deadass

#

I wonder how burnt out she is in the morning to comb alldat

sacred sage
#

wait azus a char right? what series

#

dragon ball right?

rapid wraith
#

no bro

#

it's a person's OC in here

#

šŸ’€

sacred sage
#

o šŸ’€

#

whoops

rapid wraith
#

Her ears are also taking 75% of my budget

sacred sage
#

i apologize to whoevers oc that is lmao

rapid wraith
#

dat was unnecessary

sacred sage
#

nahh i mean for mistaking it for dragon ball

#

ears are fine

rapid wraith
#

the person is online so they are either lurking or working on smth else

#

good call ig

#

it's this one

#

I am drawing her but with Goku's clothes on cuz of a pun that happened 2 days ago or something

#

Idek why I'm drawing this anymore

sacred sage
#

damn did they draw that

rapid wraith
#

(its cuz i like their oc)

sacred sage
#

its good

#

hopefully it goes well

#

have you already tried drawing other chars with goku clothes then

rapid wraith
#

Yea but I've always sucked at it

#

So I kinda dropped it for a long time

#

Cuz Goku clothes are a pain to draw

#

But I think that now I did it pretty good

#

and considering I had to adapt them to a female body that is also built way different from Goku, I am pretty satisfied

#

It could be better but eh

#

I also redesigned the clothes mildly after noticing a dragon ball video that featured female goku clothes

#

will look more gracious imo

sacred sage
#

ah so they have official concept art for female goku clothes

rapid wraith
#

Official, not really

#

Third party, hell yea

sacred sage
#

close enough

#

fan made video

#

i know some people who call their drawings of their own ocs fanart

#

is it really fanart or official art

rapid wraith
#

it is fanart technically, I do that too

not official art

#

official art is only the art released by like

#

confirmed db franchise affiliates

#

Toriyama passed away though so I'm not sure how official the next things will be

sacred sage
#

yeah i see thats true

rapid wraith
#

since the mind behind it all is gone

sacred sage
#

for dragon ball? rip

rapid wraith
#

are you planning on drawing anything tonight

#

or is the time zone different for you lmao

sacred sage
#

its basically night right here now ig

#

just random sketches or looking at pinterest

rapid wraith
#

it's 1:43am here

#

well, 1:45 now

sacred sage
#

i want to get better line art before i colour

#

so mainly just draw in black

#

good sleep schedule eh

rapid wraith
#

It's a good idea. Step by step. Going with a plan is always better

rapid wraith
#

Job doesn't exist, it's all in my head

sacred sage
#

also too lazy to study anything rn so i just produce slop and hope i get improve

#

😭

#

you can still get 5 hours in its fine

rapid wraith
#

that's if I go sleep now

#

but I'm not done drawing

sacred sage
#

ok you can sleep after work

#

or during

rapid wraith
#

yes

#

I just noticed she also has a tail

#

😭

#

I'm gonna cry this girl has so many features

#

wait, it's a cat

#

of course it has a tail

#

how did i notice the ears and not think about the tail

sacred sage
#

you can just draw a line then

rapid wraith
#

A job well done is a job done fully

#

no cutting corners!

#

this suffering is all mine to bear

sacred sage
#

self inflicted

#

practice is always good anyways

sacred sage
#

is this what happens after drawing ears

rapid wraith
#

no, this is what happens after several hours of 100% volume music

#

on a positive note, I've finally learned to draw normal female hairs

#

without them looking like their skull has been deformed

#

This took me 8 years. Unbelievable

sacred sage
#

but then i need to scale back when i realize its bad for my hearing

#

8 years of drawing?

#

i mean your drawings are really good so yeah

rapid wraith
#

yea, I've been trying consciously ever since 2017

#

and I went digital in early 2019

#

I even have some drawings still from that era

#

...well I don't

#

But I have a screenshot of many

#

Before I formatted my phone and said goodbye

sacred sage
#

rip didnt get to save them?

rapid wraith
#

In late 2020 I moved to tablet and obtained a bigger screen, but traded pressure sensitivity for it

rapid wraith
sacred sage
#

drew on your phone?

rapid wraith
#

Yep

#

Let me check if I can find any

sacred sage
#

that requires skill to do tbh

#

or drawing with a mouse

rapid wraith
#

yep I found the screenshots

#

and some full pictures

potent basalt
#

big part of it's practice aside of getting used to it... kind of like controller aiming if you rarely do it in FPS games compared to mouse... someone struggles to aim with mouse and find sticks easier... just a weird example

sacred sage
#

true

rapid wraith
#

Jesus christ. I hate that era of my journey so much

sacred sage
#

i cant use a controller to do anything

rapid wraith
#

Kinda glad I deleted everything

rapid wraith
#

Takes getting used to and

#

tuning

potent basalt
#

when I got serious about trying to learn drawing I was like mouse doesn't cut it so I got cheap ass drawing tablet... but while I still used mouse as my main drawing method I got used to it to the point I got relatively good at it despite it was kind of being dumb as drawing tablet is so much better lol

rapid wraith
#

never drew on a mouse

#

I mean, I could probably do it if I had no choice

#

But I'd rather not

rapid wraith
#

WHAT IS THIS?

#

Tbh I should remake it. I could do it justice now

#

my ass did not understand proportions

#

my old signature 😭

#

you can't make this shit up

sacred sage
#

its good

rapid wraith
#

This is the closest I have to a remake. Made it in 2022

sacred sage
#

did you like use a stylist on your phone or just hands

rapid wraith
#

Literally Excalibur in the hands of the unworthy

#

Samsung stylus. 4096 pressure levels

sacred sage
#

so its retired now

rapid wraith
#

No, still my main phone

#

And the stylus lives

#

But I really dislike drawing from phone

sacred sage
#

makes sense

rapid wraith
sacred sage
#

is that uh bocchi

rapid wraith
#

Azu is lurking

#

And yes that is Bocchi the Plane

sacred sage
#

why is the temp in kelvins

faint valley
#

People wondering what Nightshot is talking about

faint valley
rapid wraith
#

Just going insane to draw Azu, dw

#

that's all that is going on tbh

#

other than that I'm talking to Seal

sacred sage
#

me wondering who seal is, oh wait

rapid wraith
#

I am still trying to figure out how Azu gets ready for the day in the morning

#

those hairs are giving me nightmares

#

they are so beautiful but like

#

what is the cost?

#

my back hurts

#

Tbh I'm gonna swap the orange with her color palette, because it looks more in sync, and the orange and blue is a punch in the eye with her hairs color

sacred sage
#

What’s the colour normally I can’t tell

rapid wraith
#

this is the color normally

#

but azu has got cyan hairs or something

#

it does not stick at all

#

So I based the colors off of her default outfit instead

sacred sage
#

Better contrast I suppose

rapid wraith
#

perhaps.

#

Well this is taking longer than expected

#

You were right and I was wrong

sacred sage
#

About drawing a tail?

rapid wraith
#

no, about time required

sacred sage
#

You still have time to finish it within 3h

rapid wraith
sacred sage
#

Time to lock in

rapid wraith
#

The main is complete

rapid wraith
#

A+ for the effort

Doodled a SSJ ver of her for the cringe

EATERS
Monsters that roam the world and devour on organic matter. Their appearances can be described as large, shafeshifting hermaphrodite biomasses of cartilage and flesh, and protruding horn-like appendages.

While not necessarily a threat to society, their existence is vital to the ecosystems and ensures prevention of overpopulation—adventurers are paid a hefty price and items to proof its death because of the organic matter needed to craft gear.

Eaters come in many forms, and are mostly identified and properly classified. But in battle, an enraged eater can manifest large mouths and numerous sets of teeth to swallow everything whole after suctioning a large area of effect within a cone; casts non-graying magics against combatants that fought at range, and grows tail-like appendages to fight tooth and nail against close combatants.

YOOOO no way! Can I hire one as a mercenary

I MEAN YEAH OKAY YOU CAN FOR FREE XD

Hand hurting after drawing for a day...

#

How to replace hand?

deep hornet
#

Get prosthetic arm

#

Turn into cyborg

sacred sage
#

err… yeah there’s probably some Reddit post that can guide you

#

You probably need to amputate one or two of your arms

The Abyssian Devil

#

chainsawman sounding ass name

rapid wraith
#

Yea not messing with that šŸ’€

#

Bro looks like a living scar

wide river
#

well yeah

#

he lived and fought his devilkind to satiate his hatred against the very human that freed and tossed his people to a war between two divided devil clans

#

instant lore kek

rapid wraith
#

Did he win, though

wide river
#

No.

rapid wraith
#

At least bro tried

#

B++ for effort

wide river
#

more like he gave up

rapid wraith
#

He realized he was no MC worrystare

wide river
#

yeah pretty much

#

he was mostly feared by everyone though when he was pissed off

rapid wraith
#

Well I'd imagine so

#

Like

#

The size of what bro tried to do cannot be understated

#

Fighting your whole kind

#

One man army almost

#

Imagine I just wake up tmrw and go like "im gonna fight the entire neurocord"

#

That isnt ending well for me

wide river
#

His set of skills in battle include being so good at throwing fists the same as star platinum, being twice as tall, shooting an magi-atomic ray that decimates and levels an armed devil force

#

and not talking much

rapid wraith
#

So basically he is a running tank

#

Jesus christ

wide river
#

yep

#

too angry to die too

wide river
#

always fear the people too angry to die and kill themselves or fail to, they are all hatebound

wide river
#

he doesn't bother with the eaters or everyone outside his warpath

rapid wraith
#

I mean makes sense but

I am a DB fan, I must ask dumb fight questions

If he had to, could he take one out

wide river
rapid wraith
#

Eaters without the Tuna part

wide river
rapid wraith
#

šŸ”„

wide river
#

he has to dodge and strafe, not get caught up

#

and when the eaters are exhausted, and they will since this will be the point where eaters can be attacked, the combatants can slay it while minding its magics and appendages they use to defend themselves while recovering their signature attacks

rapid wraith
#

That's one hell of a special ability if you ask me

wide river
#

for the abyssian devil, they're easy to kill with a flurry of punches

wide river
rapid wraith
#

Oh I see

wide river
#

besides, eaters with guns, organic and industrialized seems badass

Welp. Its time to focus on work

I want to check your storyline out as a whole when I get home. It really sounds like it could be an entertaining read

If you have some sort of document for it that is

Like I do

yeah, ill make a ton of lore about it when im not lazy

never used voice synthesizers before

oak hamlet
#

Vocal synths my beloved
There's a lot of cool stuff you can do with them, especially now that we've figured out something cool

austere pilot
#

Yeah!

#

Would be cool to have neuro sing it

oak hamlet
#

That's fully possible, soon to be easy even

#

Current tech already allows for near perfect Neuro replication with Neuro RVC V11, and the tech that's coming after it is just pure greatness

austere pilot
#

Ooooh, that sounds really nice!

#

I'm going to look into it, but i might sing it myself to give reference and make it easier to do etc

oak hamlet
#

And this is just RVC, the tech we're demoing later today is somethign completely different

#

It's really great stuff
I'm sure once we get the full version of the new tech released people will find good uses for that

#

Look out for #programming, that's where I show off my new tech first

# austere pilot thinking about adding lyrics tbh

I don’t think it needs lyrics tbh. The instrumentals are great on their own. Maybe another version with lyrics would be cool though. If you’re going to add it to a video game as a theme or something, instrumental might be better.

Neuro expressed the wish to turn into Giga Neuro 4

#

But nobody listened

Except me

i only found out about neuro like last week šŸ’€ i wouldnt know

rapid wraith

Either there's something I'm missing or no one is DB fan enough to draw Giga Neuro 4

sacred sage

basically watch zero streamers and youtubers but its just too funny

Probably the second so I fix it now

Giga Neuro 4 is coming, and she will defeat Vedal

Well when my art is bad like mine, or irrelevant chars they won’t say anything

Ig depends if there’s a toxic fandom on twitter

rapid wraith

its not bad, you are just new

#

give yourself some credit

#

6 months in I was drawing stuff unbearable

#

i could show you and give you a laugh

you are looking at my words and being like "i know you're lying and you know I'm bad"

I’m being more negative than I actually think here

potent basalt

people that tend to like art related to neuro-sama, evil neuro and vedal are pretty chill overall over at twitter

rapid wraith
#

I've only seen abuse of artists on Twitter

#

so I will always be

#

unwilling to go there

#

I've seen cases of Twitter users bashing artists for using references, claiming that is stealing and they were so toxic and petty that they would scout the web to find the images the artist referenced

#

absolutely terrifying place

sacred sage
#

yeah that’s usually the problem with big fandoms on twitter lmao

#

They’ll get mad at anything that doesn’t follow what they think

#

Like stupid example if you make goku x miku drawing that might require intervention from them because ā€œtheir view is thisā€šŸ’€

rapid wraith
#

Those two fandoms

#

a can of worms I'd rather not open

#

If you have any confidence they will destroy it all

#

Do not post art on Twitter, I am telling you that with my heart out

#

Because then I am forced to prove the Aliucord profile reviews on my account right

#

and show the temper issues

#

because I can't with those people

#

I just can't

sacred sage
#

yeye fair

#

I mainly just show my art to my friends only anyways

rapid wraith
#

Same. I also post to another site since some of my works are not recommendable for the public

#

This is the first place so far that got me comfortable enough to post my stuff

#

even that which I am ashamed of

sacred sage
#

I just post on ig

#

I mean your art is good

#

I’ve never watched dbz but goku is cool

I will never draw goku tho cuz I only draw females šŸ’€ im so not diverse in what I draw

Have like 4-7 fandom chats I draw and that’s all nothing else

gentle spire

i mean posting on social media in general is a pain in the ass and doesnt really matter unless youre trying to build a following for commissions sake

I will never do commissions so yeah, I am not looking for a following. I am just looking to have fun and make people happy along the way

Yes!!! Hit them back (totally)

i live for the smoke i honestly dont mind doing that

that's why my profile has a "temper issues" review

and i live for the smoke with the armchair experts and haters

it wildly varies with people... some artists are like "thanks for the boost" when people flock to make baseless claims... other hand there are artists that can't take sudden influx of people with mob mentality online claiming something that isn't even true

recently a guy started picking on me on Deviantart out of all places for some views of his on a DB Multiverse character

the unfortunate part tho is that i dont really do fanart so i dont get nearly as much smoke as people who do

ive considered drawing like homestuck just to fight that fandom

ideally when it comes to online and people commenting your work... you just ignore them, don't even reply, don't give any public reaction that you even know about it and just continue as normal... one of worst things you can do is to take various baits (they hope you make public reply or comment just to bully people online)

candid island
#

idk why they are so off, i dont know how to draw bodies
Also, i traced that kettenkrad, is it legal to do so?

potent basalt
#

it depends... if you place 3d models for example that are allowed to be traced it's fine... if you trace some photograph that don't give rights to do it it's murkier

sacred sage
#

i mean if its just practice too then it doesnt really matter

#

but copying something and uploading it as your own creation

#

i mean ig theres no actual rules unless maybe if its trademarked and you're trying to sell it lol

#

but people might not like it ig

candid island
#

so no posting in art channel?

sacred sage
#

idk i wouldnt care or say anything i think its fine

#

im not sure so i wouldnt say

candid island
#

i will try to draw vehicle on my own then, if i fail i will mention about tracing and link img too

sacred sage
#

is that a neon pfp

chrome stirrup
#

is it against the rules? no
is it fine to trace? depends on the context: are you tracing a reference object - it's fine, are you tracing an existing artwork with the intent to defraud - no

candid island
potent basalt
#

in most countries when you take a photograph, do some kind of art.. 3d model... whatever... you automatically own copyright over those works... so technically it's up to owner of whatever if they want to give express permission... if you trace someone's photograph its entirely they would have an easy case for example... there are various criterias it must meet to fall under plagarism, etc depending of case

chrome stirrup
#

plus, tracing mechanical objects is fine - unless of course you are primarily a designer of mechanical objects and not, say, a character designer

#

which would then defeat the purpose of designing mechanical objects in the first place

#

Basically: say if you traced something, don't pass it off as something handdrawn if you do

candid island
#

ok, thanks a lot

gentle spire
#

also fwiw

#

mechanical stuff can be difficult

#

if you want, i can teach you how to draw mechanical stuff in perspective

#

its a whole other ball game

candid island
gentle spire
#

if youre free to like vc

#

i can stream the basics of mechanical drawing

#

the nice part about mechanical is that they have WAY fewer degrees of freedom than organics so the shapes are consistent and predictable usually

#

so just ping me if youre up for it ill stream a basic mechanical drawing

#

or magma if you want

#

in the server btw not dms

#

i love teaching people this shit but if i do its best off if other people can access it too

candid island
gentle spire
#

we actually had a whole discussion on tracing a while back

#

here

#

you can get an idea of what you can do to improve way faster than tracing would allow you

#

the main thing you wanna work on is 3d construction

candid island
#

like making all of out boxes first?

gentle spire
#

basic 3d shapes, boxes if you really want yeah

gentle spire
#

@candid island

#

you get the basic shapes by following the parallel lines of the reference

#

i know know the kettenkrad's shape is give or take a box with a notch at the bottom and a knob at the front

frigid wyvern
# candid island like making all of out boxes first?

Note: the example drawings are not mine. They're courtesy of art teacher Marshall Vandruff.

The basic ideas here are:

  1. a box is the most straightforward way to showcase how perspective works. It is formed by sets of parallel lines, each pointing directly to a different dimension. Therefore, many artists consider it a crucial subject to understand perspective. Moreover, you can make more complex forms out of a box by making subdivisions, slicing it, extruding it, etcetera.
  2. On a more general note, in representational drawing, it is important that you learn to simplify the subject into basic forms (cylinders, boxes and such). That way, it is easier to grasp the subject and to imagine how it would look in different configurations.
gentle spire
#

i get a more refined shape

#

i start representing it from standard angles so i know what it looks like

#

i draw it in a random new perspective

#

its just a box with a notch and a knob

#

texture added as necessary

#

its a bit of a rush job but its definitely a kettenkrad

#

untraced.

You are amazing, really thanks for the effort

a day after asking if someone made the invincible meme but for neuro, it shows up on reddit

pretty nice

mint root

#

That’s a problem I learned to live with

#

And the last drawing I did absolutely did it everywhere due to the low res

#

Yes it’s so infuriating it makes me sigh

mint root
rapid wraith
#

I just fill every spot with the bucket and then watch all the white spot that came out

#

I sigh, pick the brush

#

And proceed

#

šŸ¦…

#

This is literally jpeg struggles btw

#

Png does not have such issues

hushed tree
#

I find the brush confusing, sometimes it just doesnt work properly for no apparent reason

#

I like the one in paint.net, not really on ibis paint

#

I just draw manually if possible

rapid wraith
#

Huh, odd

hushed tree
#

BUCKET

#

Lapsus

mint root
mint root
rapid wraith
# mint root What's the difference?

JPEG uses lossy compression which creates aliased white pixels in corners that fill bucket CANNOT fill
PNG uses lossless compression. Whites are white and separate from other colors instead of pixelated whites that are somehow ā€œcoloredā€ and not fillable

#

If that makes sense

#

You can see the difference best in MS Paint

#

PNG always gets filled right with fill bucket

#

JPEG NEVER

mint root
rapid wraith
#

I refer strictly to editing images that are already either jpeg and png

#

It seems to be more of a thing related to brushes and aliasing

#

Brushes without smoothing at the edges do not suffer from bucket fill issues

#

I used a digital pen brush for a long time that basically was jaggy pixelated lineart

#

To tackle the fill bucket issues

#

Too bad i lost smoothness in exchange

mint root
rapid wraith
#

Aliasing on the left

#

Anti aliased image on the right

#

Anti aliased causes fill bucket issues, but it’s smoother

#

Aliased causes no fill bucket issues but it’s pixely

rapid wraith
rapid wraith
# rapid wraith

Either way this is in all likelyhood the root of fill bucket issues with the white spots

mint root
#

I get now but that was alot of information my brain is processing

#

They're not really things I encounter or worry about I just fill the spots manually if bucket doesn't get them

mint root
rapid wraith
#

Transparent pixels become less dominant in the corners because everything is bigger

#

And fill bucket has a way easier time filling the white

#

The lower the res, the more useless fill bucket will become

#

My drawing yesterday is literally 360p

#

I basically had to do 60% fill bucket and 40% manual

#

The problem however is that the bigger the canvas the higher the skill ceiling, at least imo

#

You gotta cover more distance with each line, and that requires more control for a longer period of time

#

New artists will be wobbly on a big canvas but may find a smaller one to be easier to deal with

#

Imo

mint root
rapid wraith
#

But in my experience it doesn’t entirely

#

You still have to cover more ā€œdistanceā€

mint root
#

Its the same for me or maybe that's because I already use very thin lines to begin with but I only really make the canvas bigger if I need to draw alot of details

rapid wraith
#

Yes! Yes that’s precisely correct

#

Big canvas allows a ton more details

#

But when the artist is not able to use all that head room, you end up with a drawing that, yes, is very clean and smooth but

#

It will look washed

#

Because tons of room for detail remained unused

#

Back when I was rookie I used to draw on big canvas and my art looked empty as a result because simply I didn’t put enough features or details or colors or shading for it all to make sense

#

When I went back to smaller canvas, even less detail started looking ā€œcompleteā€

#

Meanwhile trying to put detail on a small canvas is like doing pixel art

#

Find the smartest way to make a detail fit and make it recognizable

#

(My dumbass drawing in 720p)

mint root
#

I upscaled

#

I get it now that was some cool things thanks for explaining

rapid wraith
#

They are leaps and bounds better than me

#

In the end I just report my experience because I have absolutely little to no continuity with other artists. I hardly ever watched tutorials and I don’t know the names of art techniques which I may be already using. I just eyeball it

#

But they may be objectively right

mint root
gentle spire
#

@mint root

#

its up to the brush having anti aliasing enabled or disabled,
and whether or not you have your bucket fill tolerance set high enough to account for the aliasing

rapid wraith
# gentle spire

The bucket still failing to fill the anti aliased circle at 200 is crazy

gentle spire
#

ignore the %

#

i thought it was % until i realised it went to 255

rapid wraith
#

Irrelevant detail. You were kind enough to make examples on the spot for them

#

They will certainly get the principle now

gentle spire
#

depending on ur software

#

you will have the option to expand the filled area by a number of pixels

#

or close gaps

#

however many pixels wide

#

so with +2 explansion and gap filling

#

it will close the antialiased gap.

rapid wraith
#

Try with corners

#

It’s a more common situation than a circle

gentle spire
#

CSP has the same options

rapid wraith
#

90 degree angles, thin spaces between two lines, stuff like that

gentle spire
#

55 tolerance
w and w/o close gaps and +2

#

anyway i think the point is across

#

idk who the original poster is who had a question about the fill

#

didnt read that far up

#

ping them for me

#

remind them that evil's bday is on the 25th

rapid wraith
#

Tbh there wasn’t an original poster. Eclid arrived and started asking questions and the trail eventually led us to the bucket fill stuff

#

You could say I brought it up

gentle spire
#

fair enough then, harass them with evil propaganda anyway.

rapid wraith
#

Or sooner than that to make sure I am not late

#

But Evil did not describe how she wants her Giga form to look

#

If her majesty doesn’t utter a word I can’t move

gentle spire
#

anyway if you have any questions about drawing feel free to harass me im gonna disappear again until cunningham's law dictates my return

rapid wraith
#

Why would I harass you to ask a question

gentle spire
#

i like the word harass, i really just mean ping me.

Don’t worry about me, worry about the newbies

OVERLORDING (or (TO) OVERLORD)
A Paradisian terminology inferring to take command of a city-state, or an armed force due to lack of clear and proper leadership—and take control of all available resources in order to minimize damages and restore order.

It can be used to take absolute control of something.
Other supporting terminologies support this. (take the red cape, take the mantle, play overlord)

An equivalent real-life terminology of "blank check".

Examples:
¹"Due to the triumphant insurgencies scattered in the region, a knight order is forced to overlord the remnants of the city loyalists."
²"Our new boss will be overlording this situation effective today."

You have unlocked new role

you can expand and fill gaps, set it to reference canvas not layer, then fill the layer beneath lineart, so it fills past the gaps while keeping lineart intact
