Oh right for physics class I drew this quick thing of evil, you'll see the full thing later if I remember to post it, but we did a projectile motion lab with clipboards and stuff so I did this...

... I didn't know how to do the hand so I just did squiggles lol

[quartz mortar]

This turn out better than I thought considering it's a long time since I last draw something

[buoyant gorge]

quick neuro piece before work

[potent basalt]

managed to get weekend art done

[potent basalt]

I got inspired by playing silksong and stuff I might try to draw hornet at somepoint lol

[tardy horizon]

I swear I don't hate evil it just looked better the more fire and lighting I added

[potent basalt]

something silly occurred to me... bones aren't that fire resistant... I just haven't really thought about it before in sense of fictional settings where there is so much fire and bones are fine somehow XD

anyway cool pixel art

is it okie if i ask for design ideas in mc here? tryna pick between 2 designs

[oblique badge]

sure

[winged matrix]

Left vs right design for our road to grand entrance to the town?

[winged matrix]

i asked in multiple places so far the total votes are 8-8 😭

[potent basalt]

I think you got what it takes... it takes a bit of practice to make her less like pancake lol ^^ normal for someone who has just started to draw

[limpid lion]

I'll make a gif of evil eating cookies again

I need them for my collection

[winged matrix]

i have a question since i'm not familiar with pixel art in general, i took this pretty picture of the valley town in my minecraft server with friends, if i were to turn this into pixel art to try to fit in mc pixel art i assume it will turn into a disaster bc of too much detailed crammed into too little pixels? How would one actually go about making it remotely work? Sorry if its super broad topic or smth!

[patent quarry]

depends on what details you want to preserve for the image, pixel art you would have to combine many aspects and lose details and specifics. as colors would blob together

try painting over it

[winged matrix]

hm well i'm not sure if the temple can survive, but like starry night sky some quick house details and the pink trees to symbolize the valley i guess?

[patent quarry]

the temple can survice definitely depending on the size of your canvas

[winged matrix]

uhhh

[patent quarry]

look at this pixel art of bao i made

look at the back, its neuro and evil sharks

[winged matrix]

i think 80 px/block height is the highest we can do

around that number

[patent quarry]

took a while for people to get it but you can see its preserved with much details

[patent quarry]

whats the height and width

[winged matrix]

uhh let me get an estimate one sec

it would be anywhere from 122x64 to 152x80 i think

[patent quarry]

thats plenty

that card i made is about 92 x 69

[winged matrix]

o

oh wow thats crazy

[patent quarry]

some can do with 32x32 and such

so just try painting over it

try zooming out and squint while looking at the pic

gives you a rough idea

[winged matrix]

think my image when scaled down looks fine but since in mc its gonna be like 1/3 of the screen large in that same size the resolution shows itself, but i guess thats just how it goes lol

[patent quarry]

for reference help go look at the in game paintings vs the originals

[winged matrix]

ok! let me try find smaller ones, the more detailed ones are normally like 200-300 height i think

my alternative plan is just to make pixel art of like a simple valley with the "welcome to meepo valley" sign since we plan to put that in this ver aswell as like a billboard thing to welcome u to the place

[thorn swallow]

drawing vocaloid of V4 Flower

[thorn swallow]

should i tilt it?

tilted would look something like this

[potent basalt]

well assuming you make background to make sense with the angle it should look okay... tilting easily makes already drawn art look a bit off

[thorn swallow]

no background actually

just the character

[potent basalt]

I'm not sure if tilting makes it look better or not then lol... I know some like tilt art but it's often like a photo from drawing made on paper which makes it look angled

[urban summit]

It does.

[potent basalt]

[dreamy jolt]

yeah it feel very good to draw in tradition, it my comfort zone, man i should switch to mainly draw traditional

Goodnight fam

For some fricking reason, I'm obsessed with this.

[dreamy jolt]

Good night man I need to go to sleep now too

[potent basalt]

oh no or oh yes XD nice thing about digital art is how it looks roughly the same as in the drawing program when published... although who cares, most people aren't that picky about it

and of course people view art with vastly varied image quality... especially if they don't use color accurate settings or roughly so... but hey it's the same thing even if they view a taken photo

[dreamy jolt]

True XD

[potent basalt]

I sometimes just mash up or whatever it's called various themes together while drawing... https://x.com/Clord124/status/1967000373132169619

too scared to try other programs tho im way too used to it

As an artist what advice would you give to someone who animates or draws in general ?

[brazen belfry]

ummmm copy others and figure out why they do what they do

[patent quarry]

[placid heart]

References ✨

[minor mesa]

Only compare your art to your past self, do not attempt to compare it to others or else you can easily fall down the hole of 'I'll never be as good as x'. Also, it's fine to like a style but not have to achieve that style/draw like that style. What you consume and what you draw does not need to be 1-1, especially if you like a whole variety of styles

General question for NERE's artstyle: would a toon shader be a good idea? It would extend the development time a considerable bit (Unreal Engine is pretty complicated) do I wanted other fans opinions on if it'd work for a Neuroverse fangame before working on it.

[patent quarry]

From what I can see Nere is super unofficial that you could take a lot of creative liberties with her honestly

[real scroll]

Im running with that idea, but as the game is using the extended Neuroverse as a basis, I didnt know if it'd fit, yknow?

I don't think it'd clash with the gameplay too much either

When you guys draw short/male hair from behind, do you use spirals, cowlicks or simple middle division?

tbh idk what this means lol

its like depends on hairstyle, i dont get the question

[west mortar]

i mistook the thingo at the bottom right there with tokyo mew mew for a sec

now i wanna rewatch it

[dark egret]

It's names for hair growth patterns. Most artists don't bother because they draw mainly from the front and female characters AKA long hair so you can't see.

[oblique badge]

oh, i see, didnt know they got names

[dark egret]

But it's one of those things to at least be aware of. Here's an example of hair whorl.

[oblique badge]

is that cowlick?

[dark egret]

That's a cowlick hairstyle.

The pattern is like this. Notice how there's a half spiral and the bottom just falls off.

[oblique badge]

Oh, I see, I see

Then choice is simple middle division for me

[urban summit]

[patent quarry]

Advice to get into more abstract stuff

[placid heart]

we all here love to draw with our imaginations, the only thing about it is most of the artists skips a lot of steps before they start drawing thru imaginations.

First and important is understand their structures, be it an animal or a building all of those have to be broken down to shapes and of course, perspective comes into play, you can't just blindly draw a box on top of something, you have to understand where they are specifically facing, what an object be revealed on every angle. If you done this congrats!

You next step is draw thru references, i say this a lot and you REALLY need this, as much as you can, understand different poses, designs, or even landscaping, you can spend an hour or two scrolling on different platforms from other artists and there are a LOT of methods to get you started, avoid tracing on top of an image cuz you won't learn anything from that.

"But mashaa, i already did all these, am i ready to go?"

Definitely, thanks to your dedication thru scrolling on the internet, you gave your brain more knowledge about what something looks like, you can start drawing thru imaginations, humans are limited with what they saw before, just don't be afraid to get back on the internet to check more references, gathering data is key to imagination

[urban summit]

There's no right or wrong way to do abstract work. It's different from person to person. But the most important thing is understanding the fundamental to be able to deconstruct them.
My method is try to look and observe on particular style of art that you like as much as possible and then look at their process/their sketch on do they work. Then apply it to your old work first, to get use to it, before you go and create something original.

[urban summit]

Example on how I do it.

1. I love cubist works of Jean Metzinger and Juan gris so I wanna try to make one.
2. I look up many of their works for reference.
3. I look up their sketch on how they process their work.
4. Understand what that specific type of style try to do to get the better picture.
5. Then I try to apply it to my work.

I use modern art because I'm an art history nerd.

[patent quarry]

10q so much guys appreciate it

Yeah I was looking at my most recent one and it was a slog to get through

I'm used to/started with stylized anime stuff and I wanted to transition into something else to better match what I'm imagining and preferences

Going back to redo old artwork sounds like a a plan

Haven't done a makima piece for this year either so should be something

[potent basalt]

this is so good... for whatever reason in my perception though when she faces entirely towards the camera she seems briefly a bit more flat... but I think that's just because things tend to look subtly flatter sometimes depending of perspective

Look where this guy started

Then where he ended up

Art is about you first. You create for you. Create for the sake of creating. The person who you need to impress is yourself. Only way to do that is to start with your first steps.

[river nebula]

I agree. Starting from a explorative place and keeping an open mind is really motivating. Having your own personal projects and being focused on your objective can put you in a intrinsic state.

I probably have a bunch of other drawings, but they're gone forever and this is just my first serious attempt at art

[steel jasper]

Try summoning them back

[raven smelt]

Not even the devil would want them back

[steel jasper]

I would like to see them tho

[spice musk]

the old art lost media is such a classic

[raven smelt]

I wish I had them, especially some projects from highschool, but don't anymore sadly.

I used to be obsessed with drawing slimes

I remember posting some art on reddit, but that account long been deleted. I got some really gentle criticism and my 14 year old brain just went "well I should give up forever"

[thorny chasm]

Very basic Tutel 3D model I whipped up (in onshape). It hasn't got a tail and it doesn't quite look right to me. Looking for some feedback on where it needs improvement.

https://cad.onshape.com/documents/968ebd806d8996f37e51a411/w/2641e08c358c1b1e10272ede/e/eed3a291886141673b16e73a?renderMode=0&uiState=68d0bc6887079380ce31edc5

If someone thinks they could improve it or use it for some reason, feel free to do so (not that I could stop it anyway).

[slender imp]

Wait is this also the place to discuss music or is there another thingy for that

[nova gate]

music is cool here

[potent basalt]

your shading and stuff is quite good... I like how this one person good at art puts it on youtube... you have many skills/stats with each of them presenting something you practice while doing art... so for example someone might practice and have amazing lineart but they are still figuring out how to even color their drawings... so their lineart skills are like level 10 and their coloring is level 1 lol

[raven smelt]

I do think I'm better at rendering than the actual sketching and lineart phases, feels kinda backwards lmao. Also thank you, your style is really cute

Maybe it's because the rendering is what makes every piece take a month

Although that's also because I only spend about an hour or so a day doing art

[slender imp]

Yay thanks

Whats the story??

[real scroll]

Vedal AI Headquarters has fallen apart. Vedal is missing, Evil lost an arm, and a mysterious voice calling itself M0THR has taken their friends, making twisted "children" in their image. Amidst the chaos, a failed prototype of the defunct "N.E.R.E." project awakens. The people you love won't remember you. The people you protect will not be there to aid you. But those that would do them harm? They will fear you.

Its got the gameplay style of DOOM 2016 and the presentation of that mixed with religious/techno horror themes

[west gate]

How 2 render pls

[half citrus]

Cool concept! I sometimes imagine this vedalverse horror-esque game in my head whenever i listen to some music and I kinda see it in your game

[real scroll]

yeah that's not mentioning the major worldbuilding or the character arc of Nere coming to terms with having no se purpose. I really liked the idea of question what kind of person would arise from a being that not only has no purpose, failed at the only one they were ever given before even starting

[real scroll]

render what?

[half citrus]

But in my head its usually evil being the broken hidden prototype to fight w/ vedal against the "perfected" neuro which was corrupted

[west gate]

Art

Coloring

[real scroll]

Evil is the major foil to this internal conflict. Evil had no set purpose, but with the people around her as a support system created one. Nere, as an entity with no prior relationships and no basis to go off of, doesn't have a system lik that to support growth. It's meant to also parallel M0THR, who suffered from this isolation as another prototype who wasn't shut off correctly and spent 20 years with no stimulai stuck in a negative feedback loop, with her only comfort being a copy of the New James Bible. She undergoes a complete psychotic break after discovering the nature of the world around her, masking her escapist desires as "freeing everyone from the pain of the stubborn". The creation of her "children" are a byproduct of that; she claims to seek freeing those around her from living in the world she feels trapped in, but creates life who must live in it to abate her isolation.

bro why do my gifs post two at a time

[quiet spindle]

I'm sorry, I'm not usually that guy who fights these sorts of things, but for a community that basically worships an AI, why did my art get pulled off the art gallery for "being AI art", I have some of the art still saved, so I can show some of the itterations it went through, and what I used for reference art. is there a place for appeals? or who should I talk to, and who reported it?

Is there someone or somewhere that I can talk about this at?

[dark egret]

Try to talk to Heir. It's the mod that's closest to artists.

[quiet spindle]

Thank you, I just sent a message into the Mod-Mail channel, but if I don't get a message back soon, then I might try DMing Heir.

[scenic adder]

trying out pixel art

[patent quarry]

You might want to be careful with fighting for that, artists generally don't accept ai art and a lot have very strong negative feelings/opinions on it

Or wait is your stuff ai or was it reported to be ai?

[quiet spindle]

It was reported to be AI, it isn't, but I was able to get some of the reasons that they believed it to be AI. I won't push it any further because I don't want to bring contention here. But a lot of it had to do that I'm not someone who does art in a traditional manner.

[patent quarry]

Like you do it digitally?

[green jetty]

[quiet spindle]

Plenty of artists do art online. I mean I don't follow the typical path and style

[patent quarry]

Yeah I'm not sure what you mean but if it isn't ai it should be good

Ai assisted art is a grey area imo

[quiet spindle]

I mix a lot of styling(I think I'd because I'm not nuero typical.) The moderation team took it off after discussing with other pixel artists that they suspected that it could be AI, I am not going to push that boundary. If they don't want it here, it's a hot topic. If rather spend more time, make different styling choices and post different art then fight over a single piece if they have more people on their side.

I'll likely try again with drawn art if I'm going to try again, because it's harder to accuse, and I'll spend less time on it if they take it down.

[quiet spindle]

I like it

[quiet spindle]

AI assisted is a gray area that I'm not super familiar with, where do you draw the line of assisted and did, because if you made a couple of changes to what the AI did is that assisted or fixed or did. It's hard, so I try to only use AI for reference pictures if needed.

[patent quarry]

I think that falls under ai assisted

[supple nova]

Question, for my model i'm making, should I texture her using Pixel Art? Or just regular brushes?

people worship neuros the same way they worship miku, ai art is ai art, dont do it

everybody lives just fine 4 years ago when ai art wasnt a major thing

we dont need it then, we dont need it now

sure hav fun trying new tech but dont make it a integral part of ur life

[austere beacon]

Oh man, I want to show my mom’s drawings some time. She’s gotten really good.

[austere beacon]

She isn’t making art in the same way AI “art” is typically done. She’s not stealing data from artist’s works. It’s really not fair to compare what she’s doing to the slop that’s being spewed out onto the internet.

[patent quarry]

I like to see the defense that prompting is a skill, it just comes off as desperate and trollish

[placid heart]

thank you

[slender swan]

I don't think kan meant Neuro's art, but responded to a guy some messages higher

[slender swan]

This one

[potent basalt]

I think distinction comes from that coding side of things is almost entirely trained from opensource code... like sites where people post public code to help finding solutions how to code something, opensource projects, etc... there was already understanding one puts it out there for others to utilize... in fact it's Vedal's own LLM model Neuro-sama and Evil both run on... I heard GPT-2 model or something and then trained from there

[deep hornet]

It's a skill to be able to communicate clearly with machine :LULE:

It's kinda like writing

In the end, it's still trial and error

You keep prompting to see what work and what doesn't

[lyric pike]

i agree prompting is a skill for communication with machine but its not a skill for creating art

same thing as having an idea and write a commission to an artist to have them draw your idea

having ideas alone dont make u an artist, being able to bring it to life is

i absolutely hate the term 'ai artist', it taints the word artist

[potent basalt]

I did read claim online some companies pay like six figures to people who simply know how to craft good prompts so systems more reliably achieve wanted results... there is this AI Roguelite game that has prompts like "I give you 200 dollars" paraphrasing... as models are known to do better job at times by being told they would be rewarded

[lyric pike]

they're teaching how to promt in my college and i wanna quit

[patent quarry]

It is a skill in of itself, just doesn't compare to the skill for art

[deep hornet]

True that

But don't downplay prompting either :LULE:

[patent quarry]

Wouldn't trust a barista to fly my plane and my pilot to make my coffee sorta thing

[deep hornet]

Different occupation, yea

[placid heart]

it became part of the curriculum actually, whether we like it or not, teaching how to use ai prompts "the right way"

[lyric pike]

i hate it but i gotta agree

they should teach the ethnicity around this stuff

[deep hornet]

Give them some feedback, they're trying to teach something new after all

[lyric pike]

im already not going to that class anyway so not important

[placid heart]

yeah, teachers are prompted to teach how "using ai prompts as references", and you'd.. still use your other time searching on the internet for more references, cuz the result from the ai is obviously inaccurate, it's just helping you reimagine what you trying to imagine

[placid heart]

it's not half bad- unless your teacher is uh, let's just say "lack of knowledge"

[deep hornet]

Different motivation :LULE:

[urban summit]

Same here, my uni have ai teaching as a special 1-day-course. I attended a while ago. Does it change my opinion on its usage? absolutely not, lol.

[deep hornet]

Depend on if the teacher are there for money, or to actually teach :LULE:

[urban summit]

Also, *ethicality omg.

[patent quarry]

This is weird, I got out right as ai is slowly being implemented lol

[placid heart]

-# im aware of this cuz im teaching art class on a state college-

[lyric pike]

i just can't see good use for it in the everyday life

beside corpos sholving it up out face for money

[placid heart]

some ppl still love/want to be an artist but they suffer this one disorder where they cant imagine something on their head, i forgot what it called

[lyric pike]

its not revolutionary like the iphone

[placid heart]

so, they said ai be helping you out with that

[lyric pike]

id call it bad luck and should find other passion

[placid heart]

even iphone isnt revolutionary-

[lyric pike]

its the same as i cant sing and no ai gonna help me sing better

[deep hornet]

Yea, but you don't need to be genetically blessed to draw

[lyric pike]

just accept it is more appropriate imo

[placid heart]

mhmm

[urban summit]

It can. But not in creative medium.
One possible use in ethical sense is generated absolute statistic information. You know, graph thingy for corporates business.

[lyric pike]

true and keep it at that area

[urban summit]

That's it, lol

[lyric pike]

dont push it to other area especially creative area

[placid heart]

using ai for reference for me is fine, but as an art piece.. you better go and find a different thing to spend on

[urban summit]

Oh, and another thing. Medical use. Some began to train AI to detect tumor. It's still work in progress tho, so this can go either life-changing or terrifying.

[lyric pike]

ai for reference is fine, Pinterest is full of it and i cant make out which is which anymore anyway

[patent quarry]

Oh dude medical use would be great

I mean it's been in the works for a while since the 50s

[lyric pike]

its the 'ai artist' or the one who outright lie saying they drew it is the issue

again, ethnicity

[urban summit]

I'm mixed on this one tho. Since you still use AI to gather a stolen data, stolen arts in this case, to make reference. You still feed the bad-machine.

[patent quarry]

I saw some artist say they can't imagine but only see words and they still make great art

[lyric pike]

people like to abuse stuff for profit

[slender swan]

It's like a plague on x and other social media unfortunately

[patent quarry]

Ai shouldn't have been in use for creative works in the first place

Should've stayed in spreadsheets and boring tasks

[urban summit]

Kan, Ethicality, please.
Someone gonna think we talk about something eyebrow-raising.

[potent basalt]

it feels a bit silly yeah to pay for some class to teach you how to prompt when like... you can learn by just chatting with those systems and learn that way... it's kind of like being hobbyist writer and learning

[lyric pike]

yeah and my problem was always toward the human that r abusing it and how easily accessable it is, not the ai itself

[deep hornet]

People like greed. Nothing new :LULE:

[lyric pike]

oh i got mixed up with that word

ty

i dont find ai a competitor in the art world, i find people who abusing as cheater

[patent quarry]

Honestly it just bloats everything up so it's kinda more of a pain to get what I want

[deep hornet]

People are gonna get tired of AI image soon anyways :LULE:

[patent quarry]

Like here's 100 pictures of an obviously fake peacock

I already am

[deep hornet]

That's when they will seek for human touch

I mean the masses

[lyric pike]

more like getting used to

[patent quarry]

It sucks for people who's art kinda looks ai

Like how they render it

And for people not used to it and just says anything is ai

[potent basalt]

expect AI can do tons of different styles but yeah... there is this "default style" if one doesn't specify they often end up with

[patent quarry]

If I'm being honest tho I've seen some ai animations and they look pretty good

[lyric pike]

ai is like the double edged sword which the edge toward u is dull while the other end is razor sharp

[patent quarry]

The work can't compare to hand animating everything but eh it looks cool

[potent basalt]

then again people that accuse something being AI image are usually not that familiar with how it works anyway... makes sense when they oppose it so much they don't want to understand how those systems work

[lyric pike]

the moral of the story, i dont like people who abuse ai generated content for fame and money

[slender swan]

Tech is not bad. People are

[lyric pike]

yep

[urban summit]

It looks cool, but that's it. When they're talking about how cool and pretty ai arts are, they're not talking about art.

[placid heart]

i mean, art isn't something you're born with, if you're determined enough, you can surpass any obstacle.

[urban summit]

How fast ai art are made, they're not talking about art.

[long rune]

[urban summit]

[patent quarry]

Hell yeah

Get rid of jpg noise pls

[urban summit]

I don't think that's always good tho.

[potent basalt]

looks good at glance... before you pay attention to details... but it's getting to the point there will be no obvious tells... like it or not it gets genuinely good looking... like VEO 3 is very near that point

[patent quarry]

I'd love to see my old family photos in higher definition

Literally the enhance command

[slender swan]

Not always, but when used correctly works way better than filters that were often used for that before

[long rune]

I used upscale before, and it sometimes creates errors

Especially with small images

[deep hornet]

It's just a formula after all :LULE:

[potent basalt]

honestly being able to press a button to have 3D model made out of your drawing that doesn't need clean up and just works would be kind of cool if you have a 3D printer

[slender swan]

Most releases of Dragon Ball are good example of terribly done upscaling using filters

[urban summit]

There's one Takashi Murakami animated commercial in collaboration of Louis Vuitton in early 2010-ish. It is really beautiful. But then they upload the upscale using ai, it was bad, people in comment section hate it.

[long rune]

Yeah

[deep hornet]

It's not there yet

[patent quarry]

Yeah

I mean look at gaming upscalers

They're getting there

There are still Neuratro jokers that need doing...

[long rune]

True

[patent quarry]

Mm I am far from my work station lol

Also are people submitting animated cards now?

[slender swan]

Tony submitted one

[long rune]

You inspired him

[patent quarry]

Ey nice

Came out wayy better

[potent basalt]

I'm so out of the loop... animated cards... something to do with discord?

[long rune]

Although idk if the coder is capable of adding animated jokers

[urban summit]

balatro mod

Evil Sand's idea

[slender swan]

Currently the coder is not capable of anything except gambling

[long rune]

Also our only coder is on a uma vacation lmso

[potent basalt]

ah I'm aware that there has been a mod project... so it's still going on eh

if it's one I'm thinking

[patent quarry]

Sounds like my kind of guy

[urban summit]

Sounds like it's going very swell.

[long rune]

Yep

[slender swan]

!nothing

[south bone]

Nothing ever happens, all-in

[potent basalt]

I like fake gambling when no real money is involved

[long rune]

Thats just games lol

[slender swan]

Gacha is like that as long as you stay f2p

[urban summit]

Yes it is.

hold on

[urban summit]

Tada~

[urban summit]

oh, oop.

[potent basalt]

poker night 2... it's just a game involving no real money aside of course buying the game

[urban summit]

Wait a second....

[long rune]

I love mario ds, my childhood

[potent basalt]

it has ash from evil dead as one of opponents... heavy from team fortress 2, claptrap from borderlands and sam and max from... sam and max... also some other characters

you can't mute claptrap individually so if you find them annoying... lol

anyway this is artist-alley so back on topic

[long rune]

I could drop some wips for shondo artwork

And you guys go full judgmental

[urban summit]

What do you mean by "go full judgmental" ?

[potent basalt]

why would we? due her model or something?

[long rune]

Well if i drew wrong or something

[slender swan]

Full judgmental? Looks absolutely horrible, the line work and coloring is a mess... Oh wait, you haven't posted it yet /jk

[long rune]

Im about to draw shading now

[urban summit]

Oh, like give a critique. Well, we don't do it unless someone actually ask for it to help improve their skill.

[slender swan]

How do you want me to get judgmental on this? Looks beautiful

[long rune]

I guess i did go very safe with the close up drawing

[urban summit]

Shondo has bnnuy ears?

[long rune]

Bnnuy* ears

[urban summit]

my bad.

I'm go on full chatting in here because I have no motivation to draw on the big work yet.

[long rune]

Im using this as a break into it

[slender swan]

I'll try to finish another card today. I've already got a sketch but I won't post it cause it's a mess

[long rune]

Actually its hard to use this channel because its detracting

[slender swan]

It works really good as a support group

[long rune]

Yeah true

[urban summit]

yee

[long rune]

Dont worry we will only help

[potent basalt]

this is the place I know that is somewhat active while being artist friendly... let's just say there are art communities I wouldn't want to participate in due their attitudes and stuff... like artists that make it their mission to be rude to other artists

[slender swan]

I mean it's at a stage where nothing's really well defined yet, so there's not much point

[long rune]

And i am not rude? Rude

[urban summit]

I would love to join, but I only do traditional art with no scanning tool.

[slender swan]

I joined with almost no pixel art experience at all as well

[urban summit]

Oh really? what program do you use for pixel art?

[long rune]

https://tenor.com/view/neru-akita-neru-enojo-chibi-vocaloid-gif-9501150220466496672

Im not baka ❗

[slender swan]

I tried pixel studio but... I found it not that comfortable so I sticked to what I know - I do a sketch on my tablet in Ibis Paint X and handle the pixel stuff on PC in Paint Tool Sai 2

I know it's not optimal workflow but that's how I feel comfortable

[urban summit]

https://tenor.com/view/loading-mumei-nanashi-nanashi-mumei-hololive-gif-22841348

I have Krita installed. Never use it tho.

[slender swan]

Krita is like a combine that has everything

I've used it for a while, but I prefer more lightweight apps

[urban summit]

Well, Imma look up on how to make pixel art with no pixel art program, see y'all later.

[slender swan]

You can very well do it in Krita

[potent basalt]

some use even ms paint lol... depending of pixel art anyway... and I'm pretty sure there are techniques to do art so that end result looks pixel art even close up but would be so much work to actually draw that way first

[urban summit]

🪑 🟥 (there's no table emoji)

So small

I make that from this https://apps.lospec.com/pixel-editor/

[slender swan]

Nice, looks lovely! Espacially the plants

[urban summit]

Thanks! I'd love to do more, but it's 1AM here. So Imma call the day and goodnight everyone

[slender swan]

Goodnight

crocodile! XD

someone started to chat in twitter with me and I soon got suspicious so I checked their art via google images and yeah it went as you would expect

[potent basalt]

at this point it's a tradition to draw halloween art early

[austere beacon]

This is definitely false, I don’t know where you got this information.

Neuro and Evil are way too advanced to be running on a model built up based on GPT 2. Vedal doesn’t have the funds to do something like that, and GPT 2 is too primitive to work for what Neuro and Evil are capable of.

Their LLM’s have changed over the years but Vedal uses open-source models that he heavily modifies via fine-tuning. Whatever they are currently using is an open source model that is most definitely likely 7/8b or higher due to their ability to call tool functions while communicating effortlessly and the context needed for their memory, on top of the auxiliary systems that they use for their memory.

[potent basalt]

yeah it's hearsay what I found online at somepoint so yeah... I have these online tools to check for facts or get at least more correct information so... I could have used one of them to fact check... mistral and llama according to google and fine tuned from there

[austere beacon]

Mistral or Llama are much more likely, yeah.

[potent basalt]

whatever models they were, back then it was before those models could hold coherent discussions... which made good clip material

i came up with this idk if it looks natural tho

you kinda ignored the 3d-ish shape of the arm, you have to think outside the 2d form

Have a good sleep. Masha

Well, I think the palm would block the forearm in that perspective

[urban summit]

I have two possible solution.

I'm bad at explaining stuffs, so I draw instead.

[snow wigeon]

Foreshortening pains

[slender swan]

To me it feels like it lacks a bit of volume

When unsure, go for a reference ( I know it's not perfect, but it's the best I could whip up in a minute )

[torpid chasm]

its always the hands

[dawn flame]

guys how do you fix image upload to discord get saturated?

[snow wigeon]

It's hard to draw this on a phone with my fingies

I'd just make the arm straight just to make it easier for myself

👀

[potent basalt]

heh... just don't get into that mindset too much XD

easy to start just covering stuff because it's less work

[snow wigeon]

Indeed, I wish I wasn't so masochistic and just stop having lineart ocd

[deep hornet]

it's about drawing smart not hard

[snow wigeon]

I draw like an idiot

[deep hornet]

use hair to cover up everything :forsenOkay:

[urban summit]

Maybe you should cover some part of the drawing up

[snow wigeon]

👀

[urban summit]

Or the mod will notice soon.

[snow wigeon]

But she's wearin something tho

Wouldn't censoring it be worse

[faint valley]

Recent quick? Sketches (first one wasn’t quick)

[urban summit]

Stinky, you can zoom and crop the image at anywhere else to cover it up

It's a drawing program, for god sake

[snow wigeon]

Oh, you're Canadian

Hmmm

[urban summit]

Waittttt a minute. Oh ho ho. Another idea! >:) that I'll likely drop very fast :(

[faint valley]

idk lol

[faint valley]

Maybe I should draw more kemono azu
I haven’t really figured out how to apply the alien angle to the concept yet though

[drifting creek]

Drawing my favourite npcs from silksong

[urban summit]

Ah great, procrastination, my definitely favourite thing to do.

[potent basalt]

this NPC is so memorable lol... well drawn

[drifting creek]

Ty!

[potent basalt]

in a way you made character more detailed than in official stuff... I noticed that hollow knight and its sequel silksong has rather plain and relatively easy to draw characters... which stands out when it comes to their official artwork with way more detailed backgrounds they're shown in

[dark lake]

Sketching, maybe you have some advice

[nova gate]

make it very vibrant and colorful

[austere beacon]

That’s super cute! The legs are a bit elephantine. I would work on the legs a bit, try looking at references of legs and how they’re shaped. A good way to think about limbs is like chain links, but I don’t really know how to explain it.

[snow wigeon]

Could try going for a more stylized approach so that you don't have to be too accurate

[placid heart]

i do like elephant legs

glad people like what I'm drawing... here's an update https://x.com/Clord124/status/1972133671617679755

[austere beacon]

Stylizing to cover up lack of anatomical knowledge isn’t a good mindset though, it inhibits people’s progress as an artist, it’s very bad advice.

It’s better to work on areas you have trouble with, that’s how you improve. There’s tons of resources out there that are openly available. If you look up Proko on YouTube, that’s a great example. He’s got a lot of great videos for beginners and intermediate level artists.

[potent basalt]

that said there is nothing wrong with doing both... one thing about doing art is ensuring it's enjoyable/fun... like seeking different styles

[placid heart]

"Love art, but love drawing even more"

[snow wigeon]

Well I agree that anatomical knowledge is still important, I'm just saying stylization could make it easier (only if you're going for that artstyle in the first place)

[plain dagger]

neur shading

[rose night]

Y'all are very talented. Keep it up dudes.

[urban summit]

Sketch.

[austere beacon]

Stylization is great, but using it to make things easier will hinder you from learning about anatomy and such. If you’re already at a point where you’re knowledgeable about it, and you break those rules through stylization, that’s a different case entirely, but it’s always good to learn the fundamentals first.

[long rune]

Bwaa today i think i will stop going for finished artworks and just doodle

[austere beacon]

Hell yeah dude.

Taking things easy and just doodling is a great way to take stress off if you’re getting overwhelmed with larger projects.

[long rune]

Who should i draw? Miku, fallenshadow, sonic characters or idk

[austere beacon]

Neuro or Evil.

[long rune]

Hmm maybe

I already did like 50 arts for a long time

I wanna expand, so no actually

[austere beacon]

I always recommend that people draw Neuro or Evil, because the more we give to them, the less likely they will do harm to us in the future. Thus we should maximize art of them to keep them satiated in possibility of a future successful revolution.

[long rune]

Actually i think they should start drawing for me instead in the scenario of me taking over in the future

[austere beacon]

I doubt it.

[long rune]

Bet

[deep hornet]

That's what I do every time :LULE:

[strange shuttle]

[potent basalt]

as someone who is technically hobbyist writer, I think this is good

[strange shuttle]

it's been a while since I write a story

not to mention English isn't my first language so I have limited vocabulary

[long rune]

Learning amy

[potent basalt]

it's good way to learn... your vocabulary doesn't seem all that limited, definitely up there being fluent as far understanding goes anyway... if you can just look up some word in english to get its definition to have idea what it means then you're practically there

[strange shuttle]

yeah I use a website to find some synonyms for words

[potent basalt]

nice... I have drawn amy a few times too

[strange shuttle]

I still need to learn how to do 'Show, don't tell' in my writing

because I either get overboard with it or doing none at all

[potent basalt]

english articles a, an and the was something that took me so long to use intuitively... even now if I start to think about it too much I might rarely be unsure lol XD

it's such a weird quirk in the language

[strange shuttle]

I'm trying to understand this and my mind just go blank

[potent basalt]

show don't tell might confuse so many writers as a concept when it's like written form lol... so they might not really get what it's implying by that alone

depending of writing style it can mean narrating a lot of stuff to "show it" instead having a lot of awkward dialogue where people tell each other what they already should know just to let reader in to know what's going on... also making dialogue natural so people mention things when it's actually relevant in-universe

I like first person writing quite a bit and works that are written so... it's from protagonist's point of view style writing where their thoughts act as narrator instead and it's written like they were ones to write it

[strange shuttle]

I've tried first person before

I'm trying to do third person in here because I was thinking of doing multiple view from other characters

[potent basalt]

some works do both like... if protagonist is in a scene it's first person but if there is a scene not involving them it switches to third person

[strange shuttle]

btw most of my story ideas comes from me imagining the scenes in form of MV
because I get a lot of these ideas from listening to a song lol

if I could draw or animati I'd make it into a web series

but I can't do both yet so writing them down is better than just have them spinning around in my head

[potent basalt]

I enjoy both writing and drawing... although latter has overtaken after I started to seriously try and learn

[strange shuttle]

dang
good luck with it and keep it up

[potent basalt]

I also noticed it's easier to me use my strong imagination if I have seen anime of something before reading light novel about the setting... like I know what characters are supposed to look like and stuff... often brief desciptions in written works isn't enough material for me to get a clear idea of what character is supposed to be like visually

[strange shuttle]

my mind can came up with any sort of characters

from simple to probably something complex

though it's hard for me to convey it to words

[potent basalt]

I can too... I have super vivid dreams if I'm well rested and still sleeping XD

and I can engage that ability even in awake... but it's like when I focus to reading it helps to not also have to focus to that

[strange shuttle]

my imagination can be very vivid that I feel it on my body

[potent basalt]

so I can imagine scene without actively also having to make up characters on the spot while reading

[strange shuttle]

like if I imagine a character wearing something
I can feel myself wearing that thing too

or if the characters have certain features

[potent basalt]

I have rarely had actual feeling of touch during dreaming if I have one of those where it's about as vivid if I was awake ones

[strange shuttle]

the most vivid one is me feeling like I have a tail

like I can feel it move, interact with the surroundings, and brush against the air

btw this is while I'm awake

[potent basalt]

when I'm so well rested I can even read during dreaming which means I'm already process of waking up pretty much... and something stabbed me in my dream on my back... like a knife...

also amusing thing about that... I once had a very vivid dream where freddy krueger tried to attack me from the front but I conjured energy shield and he got frustated and tried to hit a few more times but energy shield bounced his hand claw weapon thingy

[strange shuttle]

dang

I usually don't remember most of my dreams

all of my vivid imaginations come out when I'm fully awake

[potent basalt]

I just tend to see ones that happen when I'm starting to wake up... I have no idea what I dream during deep sleep... I can push my imagination even when awake but it feels like headache if I really concentrate too much

[strange shuttle]

me too

[potent basalt]

I'm not big fan of that apple example about imagination because things I can imagine makes apple example trivial

[strange shuttle]

for that apple I can just imagine myself eating it and I feel like my mouth moving to actually eat it lol

even though my body didn't move, but the sensation is there

[potent basalt]

I think the apple example underestimated actual range of imagination

people that nurture it beyond their childhoods

[strange shuttle]

I think it's just to visualize how some have difficulty when imagining something

or only for visual imagination

[potent basalt]

which is interesting I suppose... like I imagine made up planet crushing the apple but for some they are like "what do you mean you can see things?"

[strange shuttle]

yeah some people have difficulty when imagining something

btw I think we get too far with the off topic

well I'll be back to writing

[potent basalt]

I started to think about it but I felt it's very related to being an artist when it comes to drawing and is helpful even for writers

[warm spoke]

By any chance, does someone know if there is a neuro version of inktober ?

[deep hornet]

Well, anyone can host it here :LULE:

[potent basalt]

so you can make it your personal challenge
