Frfr and then next week all this study is gone

[deep hornet]

Nice

[whole iris]

drawing multiple characters in a scene is so hard

[deep hornet]

True

Even harder drawing them interacting with each other

[whole iris]

it's good practice at leasht

[deep hornet]

[weary sinew]

hi artists you are all amazing, please keep up the good work!

[long rune]

Thank youuuu

[long rune]

Hey can you help with something?

[weary sinew]

can't promise anything, what is it?

[long rune]

Can you pin something in my project thread?

[weary sinew]

oh of course, ping me in there

[craggy helm]

really funny to make it

[deep hornet]

Cute

[broken marlin]

Hark! Gaze upon this wonder! This art, I declare, holds intricacies, a tempest of emotions, and secrets so profound they defy all utterance! 'Tis simply unthinkable!

Behold Neuro, clutching that dreaded tax notice. One might weep, thinking her crushed by ducats! But nay, peer closer! A mischievous smile plays upon her lips! She's paid her dues, finally free! Such sweet relief, a joyous triumph over the taxman! And her brown hair? Not mere strands, but a symphony of warmth, comfort, and unwavering stability! A true masterpiece of hidden depths!

[potent basalt]

you're ready to tour the galleries to give your not-pretentious at all expert opinions about art! and if anybody asks... your takes aren't ghost written by an AI

on more serious note that was funny... it captures how some art critics are lol

[potent basalt]

it looks good but human neck isn't exactly built to do that motion constantly XD some shading under mouth when head goes a bit up would make it look better but I get it's harder to implement to work well

her finger's ring looks like something which would fall off but it looks cool

[brittle sun]

oh its supposed to be her eyepatch hanging on her finger

[inner pollen]

Huh?

Why can’t I post..?

[urban summit]

You need embed perm role.
You can earn it by chatting more until Tatsu bot notify you.

[urban summit]

That's a really small eyepatch.

not big inaff to cover her eye.

Ok, I'm off.

[brittle sun]

[potent briar]

[icy vale]

I'm shocked myself

[potent briar]

Yes

dumb question but can you still post art in the fanart section even if you don’t have embedded perms? working on neuro artwork and i want be sure i can send it

[urban summit]

:O

[icy vale]

I think so? Someone did earlier

[urban summit]

Yeah?

[icy vale]

But if you still unsure you can as mods

[potent briar]

tyty

[patent quarry]

Nice, I get this feeling a lot

[icy vale]

Just looking at a base reference, iterate it to suit ur artstyle and viola I don't need to brainstorm perspective nor how big I need it to be (without tracing the actual ref) is amazing

[patent quarry]

What's ur base ref?

[icy vale]

I was studying male build but I got this urge to use it as a base for a fanart instead

Hair can be a lot better but in my skill level, I think it's fine

Heres the Pinterest link if you want https://www.pinterest.com/pin/reffrence--1266706137685232/

[haughty echo]

its more than fine

you might wanna fix her chin tho, you used a male base so she looks a bit like a gigachad

[icy vale]

I made it slightly round tho lemme see

Should I make it more round?

[patent quarry]

I personally think it's fine

[icy vale]

Yea I don't think it's working in my eyes,

[potent basalt]

chins are artistic preference to some extend too like... I try to avoid making them too pointy lol XD there are some anime style chins I just disagree as looking good at all lol

[icy vale]

Stalagtite chin

[haughty echo]

nah wdym look its so peak (its not)

[icy vale]

Wtf

Bros mogging so hard

[haughty echo]

bread if you need reference for the chin just look up KING cover art

I think those should help

[icy vale]

Oh I see now, the left side near the left ear ain't it? It's too straight

Thanks will fix it when I go sit up straight, I'm chillin rn laying in bed

[potent basalt]

I did google search mentioning about can opener chin lol XD

[haughty echo]

can opener chin💀

[potent basalt]

I mean when I googled about chins I found mention of them being compared to can openers in extreme examples lol

[icy vale]

Can't wait for someone to make that a reality

[urban summit]

Code Geass chin

[icy vale]

Take an art that has triangle chin and make a can opener

[potent basalt]

there's a visual novel where character has a chin he uses to stab people

so... that's nice I guess...

[icy vale]

You don't need a weapon if ur chin is the weapon

[potent basalt]

yeah... also it's kind of acknowleding it in-universe... stylization I mean

[urban summit]

I think I found the pic you're talking about, but I don't think I can show it cuz blood.

[potent basalt]

generally in fiction characters don't acknowledge how things look in-universe different than in our world... when it comes to stylization lol

[haughty echo]

true, they dont even question it if siblings are born with diff hair color but at least it makes drawing them easier

I still dont know what brush to use for lineart, still experimenting

[urban summit]

If anything, they are like that to help us, the viewer, notice which character is which from background characters. Even if it looks ridiculous.

[potent basalt]

yup... I'm pretty sure it's the same one... there aren't probably many images online about the game... looked very indie/hobbyist

[potent basalt]

something like comedy focused anime like gintama could pull it off by some character using their shin as weapon but yeah... generally stylized aeshetics being acknowledged in-universe would just confuse viewers lol... like there is some serious anime and then character suddenly uses their chin that until then has been just artistic choice

[oblique badge]

peak anime

[long rune]

Solo mogging

[urban summit]

I've draw Neuro for majority of a time, So I'll stop drawing Neuro, Evil and Vedal from this point onward and focus on other subject matters.

[potent basalt]

somethig I thought about somepoint before too is that... drawing a lot of variations of the same character as fanart is such a good practice too

[oblique badge]

The best go first

[potent basalt]

I also have noticed how there are indeed kind of camps about approaching fanart stuff... like for some people unless you make your fanart look almost copy paste of some official design it doesn't count to them... while there are also those who are more in camp like me who view fanart as something with more freedom (we don't claim they're official designs of those characters anyway)

[thick gale]

I love that you have a traditional artstyle, amongst all others anime-like artists

[patent quarry]

I can't live without control z 😭

[potent basalt]

I made that one art piece which looks hand drawn at glance but really is just using some brushes, paper texture, etc

[potent basalt]

my setup kind of sucks in terms of desk space... so when I want to use my tablet to draw I have to put keyboard to a place that requires me to stand up to type

[haughty echo]

brr one of the few reasons why I dont use my screen tablet, takes up too much space

and drawing at an angle is weird to me, I'd rather have my canvas flat

[patent quarry]

Are your guy's stuff not on a monitor stand?

[haughty echo]

mine is, I needed space to store my custom keyboard anyway

but my desk is just small, I do have a desktop rack where I store my screen tablet but with a screenless one I could just shove it under the monitor stand

[patent quarry]

Is the only con on screen tablets the hand eye coordination thing? Is it worth to get a screen display in the future?

[haughty echo]

the major possible cons I see are:
hand-eye coordination, display difference, power draw, phsyical space requirement, comfort (pen size, drawing angle, screen texture. Some tablets are made to have paper-like texture which is better for most people)

[patent quarry]

I decided to upgrade my screen less to still screenless but Wacom intuos pro been liking it so far but y'know still thinking about future

[soft sail]

Imo a preference, i have used screenless tab for years for image editing and only just more recently started drawing more. I do own old i pad and tried it but at this point i am so used to the screenless tablet so unless i have tons of extra mone at some point won't get screen one

Before i got my first tab i did draw a lot on paper

[haughty echo]

that sounds like a good plan, but why the upgrade? Is the intuos pro bigger in size?

also one thing i forgot to mention is that screen tablets use more i/o ports alongside power. Screenless one usually just require a single USB port

but with a screen tablet, depending on the model it might use up two USB ports + HDMI port for display, as well as a power outlet if you run it on a laptop that can't provide enough power to keep it on

[patent quarry]

It was a gift

I heard some screen tabs use thunderbolt or soemthing

[obsidian stone]

drawover of a pic of me when I was 14-15
I adjusted the shines a lil is the only difference from my post in nn

[potent basalt]

that's cool... it reminds me of rotoscoping when they did it in a way of drawing over pictures

[muted prairie]

am i cooking
i've never done a comic series before and i'm wondering if this is good for an intro
story-wise and layout-wise
not finished, no shading, no proper typesetting, or anything
also like three more panels that aren't even drafted yet

I was writing myself but then I only saw fit that I use AI for neuro art.

[solemn heath]

You have unlocked new role

[broken marlin]

Oh wow I got the role finally

[potent basalt]

congrats

[potent basalt]

you're good at writing... it's so easy to take it granted especially if one can casually just come up with stuff while writing... it's a talent... more like combination of various things

[latent latch]

🐊

[broken marlin]

I don't fully understand but i totally agree

[potent basalt]

I'm just finding it positive you wrote it by yourself... most people especially nowadays would just prompt some AI service to do it for them or before that copy paste something from online and maybe slightly modify it... writing anything fictional is where a lot of people struggle even if merely asking a single line

[broken marlin]

Oh yeah . You made me remember the time on discord where I would only talk in elegant shakespeare english

[icy vale]

Bruh rendering even shittily is so tedious

[long rune]

No because this just double the size

[long rune]

Here use this as based line

[buoyant gorge]

awesome thx. ill match the size then to this ref sheet.

Some things are wrong (for example, there is no partnership). But yes, it would be nice to ban this AI.

explanation:

• stave (black): usually used as a place indicator for consonants but this one does nothing since there is no consonant sound. If there was one, the vowels would be on the consonant's extended stave
• curve (dark blue): indicates open/low vowel
• four shape (light blues): L shape indicates close/high vowel, small line indicates shift from close to near-close
• long stick (yellow): indicates front vowel. (i grouped near-front and near-back vowels with what they are near

when i get off my ass and actually start writing sentences this shits gonna look sick asf

[haughty echo]

my old laptop would burst into flames if I try that

well actually the battery did blow up but it wasnt because of that

[potent basalt]

that doesn't sound safe

[haughty echo]

well no it doesn't

the thing barely had any ram, graphics card was outdated but I abused it with adobe stuff, 3d modelling, minecraft etc

[potent basalt]

XD

[last herald]

i guess im posting blender stuff here: 3d art. Idk if i like how the roof looks.

[potent basalt]

it depends what kind of aeshetic you want... it's unusual shaped roof

[last herald]

I'm trying to make a carnival stand.

the issue is I suck at making non-house shaped roofs

like I could probably just mimic this and call it a day. I however want it to be a bit unique

[potent basalt]

I wonder what kind of roof shape that has... like signs are probably their own thing

[last herald]

It looks like a square with beveled edges which is really simple to replicate

thats always the ez part.

the signs wouldn't be to harsh honestly

[mint vortex]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a screenless tablet?

[patent quarry]

budget?

[mint vortex]

Within 500 dollars is good, which I assume is probably overkill.

[patent quarry]

oh perfect

wacom intuos pro

theres 2 models, 2017 and 2025, dont think you can go wrong with either of them

id say see if you can squeeze in a tourbox

makes workflow flowier

[mint vortex]

I'll consider the latter if I get to that stage; thanks for recommendation, I'll get one of those and hope I like it.

[patent quarry]

any reason youre going for a screenless and not the screen one?

at that price point you can get yourself a decent one i believe

the best screenless tablet or decent display tablet

[mint vortex]

I just don't intend on using it outside of my computer, so I think it's kinda pointless to have another screen.

[patent quarry]

also theres nothing wrong with either

i see

[oblique badge]

Only benefits of screenless ones is that they are much cheaper, dont strain your posture as much, but mostly its just preference
Im personally more comfortable with screenless

[patent quarry]

i just see a lot of screen ones on youtube lol, dont really see screenless tablets once it gets to wacom's price

[haughty echo]

i mean you can always go for xp pen, they're the cheapest of the bunch

i've used three tablets from them, they all work really well

except the one with a screen

[calm monolith]

hello guys, im looking for an artist to commision art for my oc, dm me to discuss details!

[maiden bane]

that's cause there is an easier transition from drawing/painting on paper to tablet with screen

screenless is easier entry point cost-wise, but harder to get used to

(at least that's the reason imo)

[patent quarry]

thats like the only reason i see, which i think is weird bc anyone who uses a mouse should have some entry to it

[maiden bane]

eeeh, mouse is not the same, honestly, I am drawing on screenless for a long ass time, and i still feel like my lines are worse than on paper

[patent quarry]

like look at osu players lol

[maiden bane]

That's just insane people

[patent quarry]

im dog shit at traditional

[maiden bane]

Lmao

[patent quarry]

im fully digital

[potent basalt]

depends... since I started serious learning of drawing by doing digitally it wasn't an issue at all... very intuitive without screen, it's just different way to handle mouse cursor that looks different... that said it makes sense some people would work better with screen tablet if they aren't used to computers, etc

[maiden bane]

That's the point, if you start digitally without any habits from drawing on paper, it's just as easy to start drawing on screenless. If you have habits of painting or drawing, the tablet with the screen will be way easier to acclimate to compared to screenless one

[haughty echo]

makes sense to me. I do remember that it felt weird when I first used my screenless, cuz youre not looking at the pencil/pen tip. Took me a while to get used to it
Although I gotta say that I don't miss having to bend my neck to look down at my paper, not to mention the annoying eraser residue

[potent basalt]

yeah... I too prefer screenless one due it's easier to keep good posture

without having to change setup to accumulate it

why ones with screen doesn't really cost more because it's somehow superior although some will view it as part of it... but really it comes down to manufacturing costs... it's essentially a monitor and with quality panels no wonder it drives up cost

my monitor is aimed for professional use and gaming so it's well suited to the task

[last herald]

So I decided on a more simplistic design. Gonna go blue and white wood.

[patent quarry]

"Would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more games, or games, unlimited games, and no games?"

[last herald]

Question is which shade would look better

[last herald]

Uhhhhhhhhj

Games?

[patent quarry]

are you able to try both on and show pics

[last herald]

I can yes

[patent quarry]

currently the light one looks better

but depending on the what the other colors will be, the darker one can look good

[last herald]

I was possibly gonna do blue and white

[patent quarry]

i like the lighter color better

[last herald]

I do too!

For those who are interested, Honey has a new Chibi Shoomimi drawing tutorial out on her youtube! I don't personally have the skill, but maybe some of you can benefit from it in some way!

[potent basalt]

paint comes nowadays so close to being actual drawing program for more serious use but they just don't want to make it one lol... I mean like simply adding a bit fancier brushes with edge smoothing or whatever it's called would be big lol

not to be mistaken with what can be done with the program in terms of quality... there are insane drawings made with it

I grew up in the city and played very well with many Han people. They were shocked to find out that I am Hmong. In the Han people's impression, Hmong people should be wizards who can command insects

[oblique badge]

Lmao

[faint valley]

There’s probably more things that I could do differently with the design
idk, I guess it’s fine though

[urban summit]

That's a funny jabs. But that's also an interesting cultural remarks.

[urban summit]

It's alright. But that would be interesting if you can do more.

[woven basalt]

Cute

[faint valley]

Maybe markings, styling, accessories…

[urban summit]

plaster on the nose, like your OC on the pfp.

[woven basalt]

In China, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group likes to use dragon patterns, while the traditional clothing of the Mongolian ethnic group likes to use eagles.

Only the Hmong ethnic group has traditional clothing with centipedes and snakes, and they like to wear deep cold colors, which is normal for people to think of them as witches

[patent quarry]

Do you often use these designs in artwork?

Sounds interesting

[urban summit]

I know that certain Hmong sub-group wears deep monochrome indigo/ black color. but I don't know if that's related to being assosiate with witches.
I think it has more to do with Hmong people traditionally believed in Shamanism.

Philippines is very floral and Spanish in some parts, some have transparent so I don't have the hang of it yet

[woven basalt]

Yes

[urban summit]

Fascinating.

I was looking into a painterly style more, I can't seem to get the hang of it tho

[woven basalt]

The Philippines is a very magical country for me, where I believe in Christianity among a bunch of Islamic countries

I heard that the sea view in the Philippines is very good, maybe I will go on a trip in the future

[urban summit]

One of the particular thing I know about Philippines is the place called Chocolate Hills. Because.... I like chocolate and that name stucked in my head.

By the way, is your profile picture painted by 尧了望？

(I haven't done anything about the skin in these 3 months lmao)

yay... good catgirl evil neuro reference... anyway, me and drawing cat ears to characters has somewhat love hate relationship... like I have my style to draw so I tend to draw them sideways instead facing forward like that

Hi

[rich locust]

Aloha!

[undone lily]

Idk how to start convos.

I was racking my brain to try to respond.

[rich locust]

NEURPTIC NEURONS ETS GOOOOO!

[undone lily]

Leave while I still can? D:)

[urban summit]

one of us :), one of us :), one of us :)

[haughty echo]

that applies to Neurotic Neurons channel, the rest are fine. You'll need to chat some more before you can send files/pics, but you can post stuff on #1095941852068331560 without perms

[undone lily]

Alright

[patent quarry]

No it's by me

[rich locust]

@haughty echo Here's that lil ol song I was talkin about if you're interested :^) as cringe as it is, I wanna propose it to vedal as an

'evil original'

OOP!

[haughty echo]

yeah links wont work if you dont chat enough, Ill do it for you

[urban summit]

What

[rich locust]

Ahhh sorry

Heres the proper link :^)

[haughty echo]

wha

jack people cant open your yt studio link, only channel owner can

[rich locust]

Its unlisted, would that effect it? 😦

[long rune]

You got no perms

[rich locust]

Etzyio tried it as well but it didn't work

[haughty echo]

usually unlisted works if you allow it in the upload settings

like watch with links

[rich locust]

Lemme double check!

@haughty echo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSRLdLzqlbk

I made it public, i hope that works!

WHAT A FAILED DEBUT! hahahaha

[potent basalt]

did you provide lyrics and have AI generate the song with singing?

just asking because it's impressive if you sang it, etc

[rich locust]

Thanks! No i sang it at wrote it :^)

All home made!

[haughty echo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSRLdLzqlbk

there we go

[rich locust]

Thankyou!!! Sorry about the stuffaround hahaha

[haughty echo]

I'd recommend you to use an Evil thumbnail, then post the link on #1095941852068331560 . Links should work there even for new people

people need to see that

[potent basalt]

respect... your voice is impressive... well suited to be a band singer

[rich locust]

tbh, I hate my voice so much! hahaha. as does everyone though :p

[shut bramble]

I liked it

[potent basalt]

I think irrational side of us try to tear us down... it's good to recognize it... like keeping impostor syndrome at bay... like I see someone sketching something without practicing art and it looks as you expect but my ability to judge my own art fairly while comparing to something like that tries to suggest they're better at it XD

[rich locust]

Ohhh! That come out wrong! hahaha I meant more as like "everyone hates their own voice"

I spoke to my mate and I sorta come to the conclusion of "hey, is my voice on key? if yes, then thats fine!"

[rich locust]

Thankyou! will do! :^)

[potent basalt]

yeah I understand... we don't accurately hear our own voices without recording them due way sound travels

so it's often quite startling to people

[rich locust]

Yeah for real! to me my voice sounds alot deeper and 'mature'

but then i hear a recording of myself and i'm like "oh I sound like im on helium" ;P

[potent basalt]

lol

so true

[oblique badge]

OMG this is so good! Definitely be sure to post this. I'm so tired of ai music slop and this feels like a breath of fresh air

[rich locust]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! When i heard Evil do that "WAAAAAAAA'" scream i was like "that would kinda sound sick as a metal breakdown" haha and I've wanted to get back into music for ages

[oblique badge]

yeah, i like that part too

[patent quarry]

If only discord mobile YouTube player wasn't stupid

Ye cool song dude, post it on art with evil on

[rich locust]

Should I just reupload it with a picture of evil instead of the black screen and text?

I DUNNO HOW DISCORD WORKS

[patent quarry]

Are you not able to change the thumbnail within youtube?

[rich locust]

2OLD4DISCY

Oh i might be able to

i'm nervous! what picture should I use?!

OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN

[shut bramble]

whatever you think looks cool i guess

you can always change it again if needed

[rich locust]

"evil neuro cool photo vedal"

[oblique badge]

tbh its can be anything as long as its have Evil (so people know who the song's about)

[rich locust]

that was my google search hahahaha

I'll try and make it a screenshot so i don't step on any artists toesies

[patent quarry]

You can always ask

[rich locust]

I just used the image from the wiki :p

What should I call it?

The video that is

"They Call me Evil! - Jack!" ?

[oblique badge]

yeah that could work

you don't have to come up with something complicated

[rich locust]

I can't change the actual black background with text though, so i might have to re-upload it

[oblique badge]

why not? you didnt find where or some other reason?

because you don't have to reupload the video to change the tumbnail

[rich locust]

oh i changed the thumbnail, but when you click on the video it just shows the black background "They Call me Evil!" white text

[oblique badge]

oh, you about that

[rich locust]

I wouldn't usually mind but the goal is to get the turtle himself to check it out!

So i gotta be as polished as possible!

Maybe! hahaha

[oblique badge]

in that case the best option i think is to use some existed looped gif/short animation with Evil (with the artist's permission) or commission it

but tbh it's not that much of a deal, you can just do running subtitles

like karaoke you know

[rich locust]

Honestly, I'm just gonna re-upload with thumbnail and the wiki screenshot as the background, post it to art, and cross my fingers vedal see's it hahaha

if he doesn't then no matter! I'm tryin to get back into music anyways and I'm glad I could make somehin' :^)

[oblique badge]

Honestly he misses a lot of community projects, but let's hope your wish comes true

[shut bramble]

can you post art in #1095941852068331560 without embed?

[oblique badge]

yes

[shut bramble]

holy

thanks

[rich locust]

HMMMM what do you think my chances are?

[potent basalt]

vedal also avoids commenting things like fanart of him... like acknowledging it's a thing even but supposedly his stance is along the lines of "whatever" about it

[oblique badge]

yeah, its hard to tell what he saw and what is not

[rich locust]

I see... I SHALL HAVE TO BE TACTICAL THEN!

hahahaha

Tbh, I wouldn't of even posted that song usually, but It's just kind of a thing of like "IF YOU DIDN'T POST IT AND TRY THEN WHATS THE POINT?!"

I just wanna challenge myself and try and make music people want to listen to at the end of the day :^) and that includes trying to get as many people to listen to it as possible! aka giving vedal the song for Evil >:^)

[oblique badge]

yeah, i understard how you feel, im doing art with similar thoughts

[rich locust]

AYYE nice!

what kind of art do you do?

[oblique badge]

uh, I just do what i like: cute anime girls :D

[rich locust]

show show show!

GO ON!

[shut bramble]

best kind of art lol

[oblique badge]

I started to learn recently so I don't have many that I'm proud of lol, but last one is my best so far

oh and also this one

[opaque crest]

beautiful work ❤️

[shut bramble]

hey i've seen a bunch of your arts around. they are very nice

[oblique badge]

thank you 😭

[night crypt]

i want to draw evil, but i cant draw, how do i draw digitally and not on paper?

[shut bramble]

you use specific programs deppending where you are drawing (like mobile or pc)

[oblique badge]

on mobile you draw with finger (masachism imo lol)
to draw on pc you need to buy screenless tablet (very cheap but it takes a while to get used to) or with screen but they expensive

there are a lot of options for where to draw digitally, and it's hard to say which one is better, to each his own, but if we talk about the most popular, it's clip studio paint

I personally prefer photoshop as I was a bit familiar with it before I started drawing

[shut bramble]

these are both paid right? or not idk

[patent quarry]

I really like csp, I started on Photoshop but the files were really huge

Yeah they're paid but there's great alternatives

[chrome spade]

Clip studio is 25 bucks every now and then

[oblique badge]

yeah, photoshop sucks in this regard because of the subscription system but im

[patent quarry]

Yeah highly recommend

Reyforn how long have you been in art?

[shut bramble]

i see. yeah makes sense

i use krita cuz its free and i am still learning it

[oblique badge]

and csp can be bought with discount forever

[patent quarry]

I see a lot of persona style in your stuff, pretty cool

[chrome spade]

The insane part about csp is the store imo

[oblique badge]

sometime last winter, so it'll be about a year and a half soon

[patent quarry]

Eyyy cool

[oblique badge]

not last, before that but you get it

[shut bramble]

how good is clip studio compared to krita for example? not sure what are the differences

[patent quarry]

2023?

I'd say they're pretty similar, can't really go wrong with either

The UI can be a bit much tho

[oblique badge]

hold on

[patent quarry]

Especially for beginners

[shut bramble]

i see

is it worth getting clip studio in a sale tho?

[patent quarry]

Yes

[oblique badge]

https://discord.com/channels/574720535888396288/1210327157939900436 this is exact date lmao

[patent quarry]

100x

[shut bramble]

ok noted

i'll check every now and then

[oblique badge]

i didnt know about layers and just paint over it several times lmao

[shut bramble]

yea took me some time to learn how to use layers

guess that means your art improved a bunch since then

[oblique badge]

yeah, never been so dedicated in my life that i draw and learn every day

[potent basalt]

it's amusing though that someone does digital art without knowing layers as a concept with digital art

[shut bramble]

when i started learning digital i was just used to paper so i thought it was similar lol

[oblique badge]

I never had any interest in drawing, only thanks to this community I decided to go for it and to this day I don't know how to express my gratitude so I just draw Neuro and Evil

[patent quarry]

Danggg nicee

I started with too many layers on my first go around lol

Ugh so many talented people here

[oblique badge]

yeah, after i figured them out, i also started using 100+ per art, although it was definitely unnecessary xD

[patent quarry]

Guys I'm scared

[oblique badge]

me too

lets be scared together

[shut bramble]

i guess the idea is to practice and eventually be as talented as you all, so its good

[oblique badge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-grind-dont-stop-gif-26421494

[patent quarry]

I'm scared of you 💀 💀 💀 💀

[oblique badge]

[shut bramble]

what usually is the resolution of canvas you guys use?

[oblique badge]

4k

[patent quarry]

Doesn't matter, I just go by presets

Like bigger the better as you're system allows

[shut bramble]

hm i see

[patent quarry]

If you draw on big resolution you're brushes will feel smaller

[shut bramble]

i just change it randomly and sometimes the brushes are either too thick or too thin so i get kinda lost

[oblique badge]

and if its too small brushes gonna be pixelated

[shut bramble]

already did that yea

[patent quarry]

One thing that troubles new artists is there's constant flux of everything, just stick to something you like

I used to draw on 5000x3125

[shut bramble]

lately ive been using something between 3k to 4k but i still change it according to vibes

[patent quarry]

Bruh @oblique badge how'd you improve to doing comms in a year

[haughty echo]

holy frick why

[patent quarry]

I forgot

But it fit my preferences

[haughty echo]

my drawings dont even go past 2k px

[potent basalt]

well depending of approach it can be... ^^

[shut bramble]

absolute madlad

[shut bramble]

guess so but thats definitelly not the approach i was going for

[patent quarry]

A4 paper is like

[oblique badge]

I honestly have impostor syndrome and didn't really wanted to open them, but a few people asked if I was going to open them and I ended up with a couple comms that im working rn

[patent quarry]

2480x3508

[patent quarry]

What have I been doing all this time 😭😭😭

[shut bramble]

makes sense cuz its actually good bro

[oblique badge]

i was just drawning everyday and i liked doing it

[patent quarry]

I started September/ovtober 2022 lol, whenever bleach thousand year blood war was airing

And chainsaw man, you can see I really like chainsaw man lmao

[oblique badge]

I couldn't find a hobby in all my life, playing games is all i was doing, and digital drawning by sheer coincidence turned out to be just what I was looking for

Ive never watched vtubers either, and if I hadnt discovered Neuro I wouldnt be here and drawning lol

[shut bramble]

i tried to learn to draw more than once in my life but i never actually locked in

[haughty echo]

i started drawing because of games

[shut bramble]

usually life things would burden a bit and then i'd stop drawing for a year or so

[potent basalt]

I got into art really as a hobby... like I saw a dream to pursue it

no real day job so I could just have long learning sessions by simply drawing artworks

[patent quarry]

I've been busy with work and school I don't really have the option to draw as much as I'd like 😔

Bros am I really improving

[oblique badge]

you are even if you think you dont

[haughty echo]

judging by your recent posts, yes

[shut bramble]

i ve seen people say that you get a little better for every drawing you make even if you dont notice

[potent basalt]

from my personal experiene that's true

some people receive really bad advice online about it too... like you don't have to draw seven days of week to achieve it

that's just asking burnout if one forces it

[oblique badge]

True, its more about observation rather then hard work

[oblique badge]

I don't even know how to explain it, like, more questioning yourself, reflecting, noticing things for yourself

[haughty echo]

this is so true. I used to improve by finishing a drawing once every 3 months or so when I was in uni, progressed better than I did back when I was drawing daily

I find that the gap between each session gives you time to think more about what you did

then you'll know what to change the next time you do it

[oblique badge]

feedback also helps

which is very welcome here

[dreamy jolt]

Hi i just want to ask something, i have draw for a long time and feel like i have some serious imposter syndrome, it really hard every time i try to show my art or post it, how do you guys like get through it?

[oblique badge]

i don't

I just drop the art like a bomb and run away

[patent quarry]

Ego, simply accept you're better than anyone and everyone 😎

JK just work up to be sure in yourself

You know what you can do and do really sell5

Well, so trust the hours you put

[potent basalt]

yeah... there has been studies regarding learning and... we know downtime is also when people tend to learn... your mind etc is still studying... internalizing things between drawings... it can be subconsious doing it so you aren't just aware of it happening for example... it's one of those reasons why people are surprised how much better they are at something after a break

[dreamy jolt]

Damn🤚 😭 🤚 but thank you for the feedback

[haughty echo]

i think you're a bit harsh on yourself, that's probably why you feel that way

[dreamy jolt]

Me too usually i just drop it and sleep lol

[oblique badge]

yeah and i have to find the strength to even drop it

[dreamy jolt]

Use every fiber of my being lol

[muted prairie]

depends on why you're posting. is your goal to grow your audience or to get feedback? are you simply sharing because you put a lot of effort into it?
the purpose can change how you feel about it.
to be fair, you shouldn't really care about why, since posting just to post is a good habit, and it's something i struggle with myself.
if you doubt that your work is any good, then post anyways. you will only get better over time, so seeing how you grow over the years might motivate you.
anyways, consider the intent, and how it might affect your mind.

[dreamy jolt]

Yeah i think im being really harsh on my self, usually my art get a better reaction form what i expected, draw for like 5 6 year and never get used to show or post lol

[dreamy jolt]

Yeah i think sharing is a good thing to do to start posting from evil 2nd birthday, feel really good but never done it before so I still get used to it,and i still keep everything i draw and sometimes look back at it feel really good :))

[potent basalt]

I try to believe that when people praise my art in comments somewhere for example they genuinely like my art

it does good to self esteem about it

[haughty echo]

any type of engagement should be appreciated

unless if they're clearly bots

you can be sad if those things pop up in your comments

[patent quarry]

Tbh I say take on the compliments and appreciation as you can get for your art since it's deathly inconsistent, you can mess around and it's well liked but something you worked days on for gets no recognition

[haughty echo]

one thing that I was worried about before I ever started posting is deciding on what to share, I'm sure everyone is aware that engagement really depends on what you draw, where you post. If you draw something trending you get more views, but if you draw niche things you might not be seen at all. So it's like, is it considered cheating for an artist to only draw trending things, and is it worth sharing something you really want to draw knowing only some people will be interested in it

sharing and growing are different things, they can both happen at once but if you wanna take on comms you'll need recognition first

but if you like sharing whatever you want, do it

you draw cuz you like drawing, that should be enough reason to share even if you're not properly seen

[dreamy jolt]

Yeah I have been posting neuro for many months, try to experience many styles, but yeah i think i should post more vary maybe some old art or some think new, been try drawn on traditional and post some recently, draw neuro still interest me but i will try post more things besides neuro art

Anyhow thank you guys for the feedback today it's really helpful and give me a lot of courage to continue the journey

[last herald]

UHHHHHHHHHHH

this may be harder then I initially thought

you dealing with collision?

nah trying to make the rope work for now

Im going to have to however. I need the dart board to hang

i wonder if I could just ragdoll it in unity

[haughty echo]

do you need it to have physics

i do yes

right......

that's pain

i honestly dont hate this

those ropes are pissing me off

and ofc i have to add textures.

Guys newro tweeted early today, how TF do I draw that lmaoooooo

[haughty echo]

Just draw her on a high ground looking down at a bunch of people below her

"I require more followers"

but give her an expression that says "this isnt a request, its an order"

[patent quarry]

Oh wait I think I got an idea

[icy vale]

Goo morning

[mint root]

Morning

[patent quarry]

Morning

[haughty echo]

what are you cooking

[frigid wyvern]

Evil mentioned drinking ketchup straight from the bottle on her last stream, and someone in the discord chat gave the idea of her drinking it with sans

[patent quarry]

I would unrionically eat ketchup by itself

[haughty echo]

i may have eaten cat food before but I'll never do that

[last herald]

Which do we think looks better?

it gonna be in a darker setting

[frigid wyvern]

First one. It looks better on it's own and it also draws more attention to the target

[haughty echo]

yep

and the texture on the right is too big

[potent basalt]

yeah... the left one looks like a properly finished asset

but that wood texture on the right one is so nice... just too big as mentioned above

[last herald]

i was toying around with the darker texture

but then I edited this one

[frigid wyvern]

My vote is still on the darker one

[last herald]

yeah I my have made it too big.

Also the dang texture wont load

[main orchid]

First one looks more natural in design. The smaller gaps of wood makes the project look bigger overall. The lighter texture wood looks like that fake wood paneling from the 70s.

Question. What's your overall vision with this target?

[last herald]

its gonna be featured in a carnival in a game.

[main orchid]

Okay, so about a person's height then?

Might need to make the post taller if it's going to be like a carnival dart game

LIke one of these?

[last herald]

right

alr i can live with this

[main orchid]

Thick boy

here's a photoshop of it looking tall.

[icy vale]

I'm studying male faces but I guess Pinterest says otherwise

I'm just tapping faces and it became female faces

[potent basalt]

lol those markings make those examples look like clowns a bit

Oh in that case, fellow musicians, help. How harmony I swear it's the hardest part of composing for me

New member here: does the no promotion rule for the art feed mean I cannot share fanart of streamers outside the Swarm? I want to put some recent stuff there to introduce myself but want to make sure I don’t overstep

Clarification; if I did something like “here is some recent art I did” and included art of another vtuber in that art showcase, is that an overstep? Thank you in advance for the help!

[broken marlin]

If you don't tell people to sub to them I think it doesn't count?

hey artist alley, does physical fatigue affect your drawing capabilities

[long rune]

Im sick rn, so totally cant draw

[mint root]

Yes it does

[opaque crest]

it does

if not the capability, then the motivation

[unborn salmon]

yea

[chrome spade]

swiss lore raw sketch

lmao

[grave wraith]

i just bought a new pentab i can do art again

[clever dagger]

anyone else draw using their osu tablet and tablet driver

just me? ok

[thick gale]

i use tablet that is supposed to be used in osu

but i dont play it

just draw

[patent quarry]

Used to, nothing wrong with it, it was too small

[clever dagger]

Usually people start with experience drawing on their tablet, I'm the opposite

[patent quarry]

Ur not alone, I fully started digitally

[clever dagger]

Got into digital art because of osu and didn't realise osu presets are bad for drawing

knew something was wrong when I realized I was drawing without pen pressure

[grave wraith]

i use the same one to play osu and to draw actually

[patent quarry]

Someone on here mentioned OSU players turned artists are pretty common

[clever dagger]

that's cool to know

I just wished I started as an artist instead of no lifing osu

[patent quarry]

Those statements don't help your art journey, just make art

Van Gogh I think started at 27 and was self taught

[potent basalt]

actually it has been shown that starting art career as an adult has its advantages... it gets technical but it's stuff like visual library, etc

it's better foundation when you already have good grasp of the world basically

[potent basalt]

cool stuff

[gritty cloak]

Wanting to get back and draw some stuff on digital again, maybe another big project, but lacking inspiration aaa need brain powder idea stuff

[potent basalt]

I'm learning that sometimes it can be just better let it come to you... the idea... like start thinking it a bit but then just do something else until it forms... also there are usually countless ideas floating around so it's kind of like they compete which one can make the presentation... if that makes any sense as people work differently when it comes to their minds

there are things I can do if I want to encourage forming ideas

like... no kidding... being on toilet for real

[gritty cloak]

That makes sense, my favorite piece was made on a whim after I abandoned like three to two times, so maybe, maybe

[stuck cipher]

[last herald]

[icy vale]

Anyone have a crying evil ref

I can't seem to draw the cry blush in the top of my head

nevermind i did it

[patent quarry]

[last herald]

GOOD NEWS

We have glass!!!!!!!!

[potent basalt]

heh... it looks so retro

I have so much nostalgia for early 3D graphics in video games... like one we started to get dedicated graphic cards

sure resolution wasn't anything near that and edge of lights wasn't so fancy either but still

[oak nymph]

noooo evil crying sad

[grave wraith]

im going insane i do not know how to color my sketches

[faint valley]

Need a fun outfit idea to draw...

[potent basalt]

I have found something something color theory working with coloring... I refer to shading like dark blues for shading shadows... bright yellows for light... something like that depending of image of course

[oblique badge]

Policewoman

[potent basalt]

my current avatar is V6 version... what's funny that it's pretty arbitrary... I just increased number as I redrew and tuned the concept from my mind

[oblique badge]

Cool that you can return to it and find way to improve it

[patent quarry]

Hey Artist Alley, got another question for you guys (草), Do you listen to anything while you are drawing? Music/Podcasts/youtube videos etc? Or are you the type to work without it

[urban summit]

I do the former.

[patent quarry]

do you have a specifc genre or playlist for it or just general

[urban summit]

Video game soundtracks that are upbeat like the one from Sonic franchise or the music band I like, which is not many that I listen to tbh.

[patent quarry]

ah i see, i myself usually have phases or so of music stuff from anime to 2000s rock to nothing at all at times

[deep hornet]

Does this look like fem vedal?

Or do I really have to draw his signature cloth to work :LULE:

[urban summit]

nah, not really

[deep hornet]

Thought so

Look more like my "OC" :LULE:

[urban summit]

yep, technically.

[deep hornet]

i guess, I'll try longer hair

[icy vale]

She's cute

Oh it's vedal

[light frost]

make green and give hoodie and it'll look more like Ved

[light frost]

does that change anything?

[icy vale]

Well you can see there's breast

[deep hornet]

Yes, it's supposed to be genderbent vedal :LULE:

But doesn't look like it enough

[light frost]

probably just coloring and hoodie ngl

[deep hornet]

I'll try the cape

[light frost]

green and the hoodie are just so iconic

[deep hornet]

I'm also increasing hair length

[mint root]

Sometimes, boss music

[potent basalt]

yeah ^^

[potent basalt]

I often listen some video while drawing... I once had swarm fm at background

stuff like chilluminati podcast, etc... make great background noise

[urban summit]

Wait, hang on. I have a very stupid idea.

[potent basalt]

lol

I agree with your take

vedal transforms to a mouse or something

[main orchid]

Yo. 12 oz mouse 😄

[main orchid]

Don't know if this is considered "fun" but these dresses would be neat to draw.

[urban summit]

Yep

Done

[potent basalt]

this is giving me some ideas... I have bunch of drawing ideas I try to get done but maybe I pile more lol

[urban summit]

I know that I said I'll stop drawing Neuro, Evil and Vedal. But this is a shitpost drawing.
I wonder if I can draw the whole Neuroverse crew as 12 oz mouse characters.

[main orchid]

If you see one of those you like, I got other shots of them. (they're pics I've taken from my model photography days)

[icy vale]

[potent basalt]

you used to do photography eh... cool

[main orchid]

OH MY GOD. Anny!

[faint valley]

[main orchid]

Shark will match J0ker's color pallet.

[urban summit]

I'm done for now. Imma do my irl stuffs. bye y'all

GUYS

I have an update

I dont like the middle

I need it too look more natural

[last herald]

Nvm

I fixed it. Time to light this baby up

[urban summit]

[opaque crest]

who'll be the eye?

[median pilot]

im planning to make a neuro/evil cos, how big should the osu pin be ? 3cm, 4cm or 5cm?

[orchid parcel]

i made them 4 cm wide as thats close to what pin buttons are, the drone and heart ended up 5cm wide as those are larger.

Neuro her pins are available on aliexpress, evil's not.

if lacking skills you can also simply print them on paper then use laminating machine or a button press

[worldly phoenix]

o hai gruntoks

[urban summit]

eye don't know.

eye am t-eye-red.

[opaque crest]

it's f-eye-ne

or rather

eye-eye, cap'n 🫡

[long rune]

Im such a artistic genius, add white dot in eye -> cute and soulful

[oblique badge]

[opaque crest]

[urban summit]

I guess I'm hired.

https://tenor.com/view/12-oz-mouse-hired-i'm-hired-fitz-gif-9809851375978346472

welp, that didn't work as intended

[urban summit]

no embed perm, sadge.

[opaque crest]

it will happen eventually I guess

[opaque crest]

I forgot how cursed that show looked

it's been quite a long time

[urban summit]

How? that is like the thing we know and remembered the most.

[opaque crest]

I mean, I haven't thought about it at all for the last 15 years at least

I discovered just now that there's a third season apparently that aired in 2020

D:

[urban summit]

oh yeah. you might've missed the Invictus too, which aired in 2018.

[opaque crest]

definitely

in 2018 I just moved countries again and was a bit too busy to keep up with the 12 oz mouse

good time to rewatch it then

[urban summit]

And done

[potent basalt]

lol... well done

[oblique badge]

coco and mimi my favorite ones

[urban summit]

The koko one is very fitting because the character in the show is a stoner.

can I say that?

[opaque crest]

I like that Skillet is camimi

[oblique badge]

lmao

[potent basalt]

lol now I imagine koko throwing rocks... so fit to that character XD

[urban summit]

Flare!?

Oh wait, wrong vtuber.

[deep hornet]

NIce

[urban summit]

oh, it's Furen.

[chrome stirrup]

do we have an official harpoon design?

also, does neuro have any weapon that's distinctly hers?

[urban summit]

No to both.

[chrome stirrup]

[opaque crest]

I'm still in a poppy mood

and the memorial day is tomorrow

convenient time to practice negative space

but idk about posting it, it's not very good 😔

[main orchid]

These are amazing! Honestly, would be so cool if they used these as a PNG collab.

[main orchid]

show us anyways. This channel is a safe place for works and works in progress.

[opaque crest]

no embed perm yet

[main orchid]

alright then. To help level up your text space. Have you done negative space projects in the past?

[opaque crest]

not deliberately, no

I have a couple of large acrylic projects, they were done with negative space in mind

meaning that I did background first, then the object in focus

[main orchid]

ah. I've seen a lot of painting start like that where you layer the canvas first

[opaque crest]

yes, it helps to create a smoother background

I just masking tape the white I want to keep for later

peeling the tape is kinda fun after the initial layer is dry

watercolor is more finicky than acrylics tho

[main orchid]

yea, I liked masking when I took painting class. I've seen other people get really creative with their masking

Have you worked in other mediums besides acrylic?

[opaque crest]

watercolor a bit, digital

oil takes too much time to dry

and it is not cheap

I'm actually thinking of getting some tempera, I like the versatility

[main orchid]

I liked oil, mostly for blending. Not nearly as vibrant as acrylic. But damn it's smooth.

Never used tempera

[opaque crest]

it's so nice, it's as if watercolor and gouache had a baby

[main orchid]

well, take that back. I might have used tempera. Reminds me of the stuff schools often use for paint

[potent basalt]

I find it interesting when digital art is made to look like it isn't... also I like how digital art is way cheaper hobby than drawing physical paintings

[main orchid]

I liked using watercolor pencil. That was nice having the benefit of a pencil, but then able to wet brush it

[opaque crest]

I get kinda lost when looking at watercolor pencils stand in my local art store

there are so many shades

[opaque crest]

I guess in the long run it is definitely cheaper

but I like the feeling of doing something physically

[thick gale]

we still dont have a color palette what are you talking bout lmao

[opaque crest]

even if 50x60 canvas is 10 bucks a pop

[main orchid]

One of my old old pieces from back in college. Oil

[opaque crest]

nice!

[potent basalt]

if we speak about stuff like proper canvases and one draws regularly without reusing the same canvas... it quickly gets expensive of that alone... while plenty of people might have computer that isn't exclusively for doing art ^^

[opaque crest]

I bought an iPad to draw, sooo

idk how soon the price of supplies will overtake the price of the tablet, pencil and procreate

[main orchid]

Digital has hundreds of advantages. I personally haven't gone pure digital drawing yet. Something about old school physical medium that I'm attached to

[opaque crest]

I have a couple of digital works, but I agree that analog feels nicer

at least for me

I do appreciate the ability to workshop adjustments

[main orchid]

I do enjoy photoshop, but that's mostly for photography where I'm already working in a pre-made taken image.

[opaque crest]

I can take a picture of my wip with an iPad and play around with that

see what works and what doesn't

helps with planning

[opaque crest]

do you still use primarily oil?

[main orchid]

No, mostly because expensive and I had a art photography trend for a few years. All my "painting" was in photoshop, on images

[opaque crest]

I see, I see

[main orchid]

One of my before, and photoshop after.

[opaque crest]

looks fun!

although my first thought is that I'd like to see the entire tattoo ><

[main orchid]

side shoot of the whole tattoo.

[opaque crest]

right, so it is a batman symbol with traditional rose inside

and a batgirl face?

[main orchid]

Its I think Harley Quinn

[opaque crest]

looks quite busy

not to judge people's tattoos or anything

[main orchid]

Wanted to do a TankGirl series with her, but she lived far away and wasn't able to arrange it again.

[opaque crest]

tank girl would be a great choice yeah

[long rune]

Banana snake

[opaque crest]

snakes are cool

[main orchid]

I like photographing people with tattoos. There's stories behind each one and they're interesting to hear.

[opaque crest]

I guess

not all of them have meaning, but all of them have stories

[long rune]

Maybe secret that could be the reason why they wont tell

[opaque crest]

I think it depends on the person

my largest tattoo has no meaning at all

and I can't be bothered to come up with some convincing lie

[long rune]

Maybe the meaning of the tattoo is to have a beautiful tattoo

[main orchid]

Anther model I worked with a lot. She has lots of ink. Also coolest set of aviators you can find.

[opaque crest]

that is true, I agree wholeheartedly

[main orchid]

Tattoos imo, is such an interesting and fascinating art medium. Tattoo artist in general, their minds go on wild adventures.

[opaque crest]

it is, quite a job to be a tattoo artist

being focused for hours and hours with minimal breaks is not easy

[main orchid]

Plus your canvas stretches, sags, puckers up, twitches, bleeds

[opaque crest]

and maybe squirms and/or cries

depending on pain tolerance

[main orchid]

some laugh. There's a few people get get the tickles in some places.

[opaque crest]

one of the artists that worked on me told me that when he was doing a tattoo for his friend in the same exact spot as mine the guy couldn't handle it

so it's a lottery on who you get as a client

[main orchid]

As for the art styles though, I like how many tattoos are that bold color, dark outline, and intricate design. The human body being a coherent canvas.

[opaque crest]

you like traditional style tattoos?

me too!

[main orchid]

yea, not a fan of the jacket patch tattoos.

When the person works with their artist, they plan, take multiple sessions, and treat it like a life decision. Its why each person has a good story behind their tattoo

[opaque crest]

I don't have many, only three

but only one of them took multiple sessions

I agree with working with an artist, that's very important

I usually look through people's portfolios and choose the one that would like to work on what I have in mind

then I give them the bare bones idea and let them do whatever they want
