[wise stone]

Wait, oh no.

[viscid gust]

Why oh no

[wise stone]

I don't have any idea as well.

So I have to do smth incase the wheel does land on my name.

[versed bridge]

[bleak agate]

👍

[midnight hazel]

Still have no idea what I'm doing with legs or hands and feet but w/e
I'm also pretty sure every attempt I make to do shading or highlighting just makes it look worse

[bleak agate]

[sharp pebble]

anybody have a great idea to paint chest?🤔

never tried it but i wanna try

[boreal stump]

how to paint you mean?

[sharp pebble]

uhhh

make it in right shape

and right location

[boreal stump]

how to draw then

[sharp pebble]

it is hard to positioning

😂

[boreal stump]

draw flat characters

4head

[sharp pebble]

[proud birch]

can i see what you have

so we can figure out the shape of it

[bleak agate]

the urge to draw something spicy

[proud birch]

Okay im done refining the shadows

Hmm

Okay i made it too realistic

I hope the coloring would turn well

[elder trench]

it looks super good

[proud birch]

Thank you i darkened it a lil bit too much

[elder trench]

nah the high contrast looks really good especially for black and white, like its kinda reminicesnt of mangashading in a way

[proud birch]

Thats interesting

Well i guess thats true i try to copy the artstyles of some ahem respectable mangas

Since that type of rendering is rarely found in your typical manga site

[sharp pebble]

i havent tried...

[proud birch]

Even nagatoro author does infinitely better job on his other work lol

[elder trench]

hehe yeah, i think you can try to go even more extreme, black ink and white white like really lean into it.

that could look cool in my mind

[proud birch]

Lolol

So like this?

[elder trench]

like what?

[proud birch]

I can fix her

[elder trench]

in a way yeah, ocfourse lighten the face but yeah something like that whith a little tweeking

[warm pewter]

Amazing folds borzoi 🙏🏻

[wise stone]

This making me imagine a vivid scenario. Very sinister scenario.

[proud birch]

Omg some of the messages i sent in the past just popped up now

[proud birch]

Thank you

I like folds i imagine myself folding

[proud birch]

Lol true i cann make it more cursed

[elder trench]

sssscarry

[wise stone]

[vast cobalt]

oh damn that's a cute neuro

[boreal stump]

now i have a strong urge to finish this

[bleak agate]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-get-to-work-gif-21630516

[bleak agate]

👍

[worn briar]

goddamn the creases

[elder trench]

i think this is the best shading i have done yet

[bleak agate]

pogs

[worn briar]

amazing clothes

[elder trench]

hehe thanks, i did steal them tho, trying some actual coppying from refference

[worn briar]

i think everyone does that

[elder trench]

its good practice tho. here is some progress on the doodle, like i get a bit of everything here, clothes anatomy shading etc

its catgirl sagiri

im not that happy with the eyes tho, idk i just feel like i could have done them better

[steady abyss]

mist

[elder trench]

i dont get it

[steady abyss]

oh thats just what sagiri means

mist or fog

[elder trench]

i dont know kanji at all

i was wrong

[steady abyss]

oop

oh

[elder trench]

it means gauze and mist/fog

this is the kanji 紗霧

[steady abyss]

is it these kanji? 狭霧

oh

welp

i was close

[elder trench]

yeah really close. forgor that japanese does weird sentence and naming structure

[steady abyss]

i like dont know kanji at all so its fine

[elder trench]

me neither, but i want to learn at least katakana and whatnot, just for fun

[steady abyss]

katakana and hirigana are pretty easy although katakana is a bit more annoying to learn

because it has a lot of characters that look really similar but sound very different

while they are like a twin syllabary

i do find it more difficult

[elder trench]

katakane i think would be easyish to learn. i think the worst part is the sentence structure since its so different

[steady abyss]

i dont find japanese sentence structure too difficult

its kinda just a little backwards

[elder trench]

yeah more that, its not diffucult just different to germanic.

[steady abyss]

my biggest issue is just not knowing enough words

if i listen to japanese talking i might get fragments but i dont understand it completely due to my lack of vocabulary

[elder trench]

i get that. i dont know a lick outside of anime words

[steady abyss]

real

[elder trench]

but the characters are fun to draw

[steady abyss]

kanji are not lmfao

especially trying to like write vocab down

it takes so long to write them sometimes

[elder trench]

hehe i like drawing them but on a drawing tablet, its like mini art works that i cant fuck up but im kinda like that i enjoy doing things like that

[steady abyss]

i have a drawing tablet but i dont overly like digital drawing and i kinda suck at it

[elder trench]

i think its something you have to get used to, like a lot of traditional artists say the same thing as well

[steady abyss]

yeah i spent alot of time drawing with pencil before i got it

[elder trench]

i also struggled a bit in the begining but i had only been drawing on paper for a month so the transition was easy, but i also noticed that i first sucked like worse than when i begain in the first frew weeks

[steady abyss]

the way you draw is like completely different from trad and it screws me up

i dont mean you as in you btw

[elder trench]

hehe i know, im more or less fluent in english so dont worry

[steady abyss]

ah i c

[hybrid pilot]

Can't wait for Heir to spin the wheel

[elder trench]

oh my doodle is done

[bleak agate]

👍

nice thighs

[worn briar]

good thighs

[elder trench]

thanks. can never get enough thighs

thighs saves lives

[runic python]

I'm looking for an artist that would remake this picture into Neuro version

anyone interested?

this artstyle looks kinda familiar to me, but I can't exactly put a finger on which Neuro artist draws similar style

[bleak agate]

[viscid gust]

i need to get to drawing soon

i keep putting it off today

[turbid karma]

At first I thought it was art by an beginner artist, then I looked at the background lol

[elder trench]

thats okay, i didnt do anything all week

[harsh arch]

My excuse for practice today was doing some sketches of Batman

[bleak agate]

based

[harsh arch]

Practicing folds

[elder trench]

nice folds

[worn briar]

actual nightmare to draw

great work!

[bleak agate]

cool

im still wondering if i wanna like start drawing like
not only like a hobby to kill time

[worn briar]

hey as long as you're good enough

slap a "comms open" on your twitter/discord and just let it come naturally

[bleak agate]

dam, never used twitter

[viscid gust]

what if I remain mediocre and put "comms open" in my twitter

[worn briar]

[bleak agate]

if it will work then fine ig

[viscid gust]

look all im saying is that if you put up a "Sketches $3" that shit adds up

[steady abyss]

thats like 1.5$ an hour

[viscid gust]

hey if its on my off time and im doing what i love (drawing) then im not complaining

its money i otherwise wouldnt be getting

[worn briar]

true true

i suppose that's why the artists i commission always have a tiered system

[bleak agate]

idk, i can do much more for a living than just drawing
i only was wondering if i could start actually studying art to improve
i never actually thought about getting money idk

[harsh arch]

I mean, if you already have a somewhat stable job, it's not a bad deal to make a small amount on the side

[worn briar]

an artist I follow can go upwards of 100$ per comm and she does like a few of those a week

here? that's a lot

and those aren't even rendered or colored, just lineart and shading

||tbf she's a nsfw artist and is really good at it||

[bleak agate]

i mean uhh, nico payed me like 60$ for that picnic art i did
i think they overpaid

[worn briar]

money is money

[bleak agate]

first time i actually got money for art

[worn briar]

he thought it was worth 60 so

[bleak agate]

i mean im not complaining )

[harsh arch]

That shit was well made. It was totally worth it

[bleak agate]

well as long as other people think so

[bleak agate]

welp i still have time to decide about that
for now just gonna go with the flow ig

[worn briar]

plan for success

[white bison]

So cute!

[viscid gust]

Heres our list of nugget artists this week. Bout to spin the wheel

Heir

@robust sleet Would you like to be the person in charge of next week's redraw? Gimmie a response within the next 24h or ill spin the wheel again!

[robust sleet]

Sure

[viscid gust]

Alrighty! You can either draw something or upload an old drawing in about 24h!

(if youre drawing feel free to wait till monday, if you need more time)

[untold trench]

MamaMec... my mother?!?

[viscid gust]

oh whoops

[drowsy hinge]

Ok so just got my phone back

Background for a piece of art im planning

Im specificaly focusing on perspective

Any issues?

[viscid gust]

Why does the road suddenly stop?

[drowsy hinge]

Its suppost to be going up a hill

[drowsy hinge]

(Not exactly sure how to make that clear w/o lighting which ill do last)

Might be a perspective issue (after all i am not the best with that lol)

[worn briar]

okay it should be pretty noticeable where I'm getting my references from now

[viscid gust]

I won’t bonk you as long as you don’t say.

[worn briar]

[white bison]

little drawing i did

[viscid gust]

CUTTTEE

Your style is so good. I need to comm you for one of me at some point

[harsh arch]

Nico's reaction was the best

And it isn't unwarranted. This is adorable

Has a lot of polish too

[white bison]

I would gladly!

[robust sleet]

Alright, I've decided that this will be the art redraw for this week

[wise stone]

Alright

[tidal cosmos]

That's cute

[bleak agate]

👍

[untold trench]

super rough sketch for redraw, unsure if I'll finish so just leaving it here

[versed bridge]

Nice

[worn briar]

cat ears neuro

[vast cobalt]

nvm the file didnt save properly i lost it

😭

[wise stone]

[worn briar]

draw it again

now that you have a clear picture in your mind you can remake it with clear purpose

[harsh arch]

That advice works for me, too

Doing warmups and making thumbnails for your pieces are the ideal, but I'm usually a mess when it comes to planning

[viscid gust]

@viscid gust
@weak wave
@untold trench
@hybrid pilot
@mild cliff
@harsh arch
@worn briar
@shut obsidian
@elder trench
@wise stone
In case any of you havent seen, this weeks redraw is this! You have until Thursday to redraw it! Remember it can be in whatever style you want! It can be a sketch, it can be a finished piece, it can be a 3-D render! Whatever you want! Just remember it doesnt have to to be 1:1!

Whoops, I forgot to make the ping silent

Sorry about that

[wise stone]

it's fine 👍

[harsh arch]

I was already on it, so it's all good

[proud birch]

I made it evil instead of neuro i swear its not on purpose

Heres a redemption art

I have no idea how professionals do this under an hour

I suppose that's why I pay them money

[viscid gust]

[viscid gust]

personally, I have a massive reference folder my ex put together that has like 9000 images in it
stuff she wanted to use for reference for character inspiration stuff

but I also go to safebooru

and search 1girl

you get a lot of ideas from that kind of stuff

[untold trench]

9000 if only I could take a peek at it

[untold trench]

but alright, I see thanks

I think they were here before, but they got banned iirc

[viscid gust]

hm
must have been before my time

[harsh arch]

Sketch Daily

[worn briar]

quickposes.com

[wise stone]

Pinterest (sometime good, sometime [removed])

[viscid gust]

i dont like pintrest because they normalized stealing art and uncrediting it

[wise stone]

It's a shame cuz I still see them to this day.

[viscid gust]

always google with "-site:pinterest.* -ai" when searching for refs

removes all pintrest links and a LOt of the AI

[wise stone]

Oh yeah, Pinterest is now plagued with AI generated images. So my advice is now pretty much outdated.

[worn briar]

look for references before 2021

no ai

[viscid gust]

always useful advice

its great to not be plagued by pinterest links

[wise stone]

Well, I have to go my old fashion way, Books and Magazines.

[viscid gust]

thats also a great way! If you have those books and magazines!

[untold trench]

I try to! but I wish I had the willpower to do a bunch of sketches a day and not just one

[wise stone]

I don't actually have them, I borrow them from library most of the time.

[untold trench]

interesting site

[worn briar]

yeah

[harsh arch]

That's the name of a site

[worn briar]

good for doing gesture practice

there's a timer too if you want to practice drawing fast

[untold trench]

[jade loom]

You have unlocked new role

[wise stone]

Who?

[harsh arch]

Sketch Daily is a site in which you can acquire reference photos.

[untold trench]

oh I just unlocked embed perms

[untold trench]

oo

[wise stone]

Guys... I forgot that I have this.

I have bought this for a long time ago, Just to be sitting there catching dust.

[worn briar]

I have a figma mode chan and model kun

they break easily

[wise stone]

They kinda do.

I think the model I have starts to getting more stiff for some reason.

[worn briar]

try silicone grease

[wise stone]

I don't have it right now, I'll buy it later.

these things are kinda garbage and you just wont use them lol

[wise stone]

It was in sitting position where both of their hands were on their lap.

[wise stone]

Eyyyy

[wise stone]

Also, why? I can't unsee it now.

[viscid gust]

also if you dont like doing things totally antatomically correct, the posing dolls are kinda useless too

[viscid gust]

[harsh arch]

Never owned one, but I'd probably spend more time adjusting the doll to the pose I want than actually drawing it

[drowsy hinge]

Oh.

[elder trench]

its from a pg game i swear

its from muse dash

[drowsy hinge]

Anyone have a reffernce image for neuro/evils back?

I realy cant get her hair to look good

[turbid karma]

There's probably tons of references on the internet with Asuka, she has a similar hairstyle with neuro

it's not the best, it's just the first one I came across

[drowsy hinge]

Thank you!

Any advice (WIP) (please ignore ths shading on the hair since thats just temp) i mostly am thinking aboht the hair shaping.

Oh yeah and im gunna ad the right arm last lol

[drowsy hinge]

Its in a pose that looked wierd at the beggining before colours or anything so i left it off

[bleak agate]

I have never doubted you

👍

[turbid karma]

Try making the shapes on the end of hair more random to make it look more natural

[viscid gust]

@elder trench apologies friend
that one showed a bit too much skin

was really nice looking tho

Cant wait to see the final version

[elder trench]

ehehe had the feeling that it was a bit to much. thanks for the compliment. il show it when im done and nothing more, i promise

[viscid gust]

sorry for the inconvenience!

[elder trench]

nono its fine, its the rules here so il respect them. il post it on pixviv if anything

[turbid karma]

HOLY LARGE CANVAS

[proud birch]

Yeah lolol the artwork is very huge

I tried doing 3k pixels width neuro is having pixelated textures

[white bison]

Fair enough, I could never tho

I’m afraid to pass 3k pixels

[proud birch]

Oh thats perfectly fine

I dont like to go above 3k too unless

Im making a huge background

And tbh even 5k pixels is not enought for this

[wise stone]

Really nice progress.

I think I might table colors for next year

thank you king

How do I draw the hands fusbskcifnwkd

plus the meat around it

[viscid gust]

oh shit
we have almost hit 150 people in this thread

holy cow

[harsh arch]

It's a good thread

Very comfy

[viscid gust]

one day i will move towards making a true art channel that I will help moderate

[harsh arch]

And I get to talk to artists

[viscid gust]

would love to get at least one more art thread member to apply for mod before then tho
I would like to have more people watching a true open art text channel

since im not always looking in here

[worn briar]

manuh was asking earlier this morning right

but I thought they were kidding lule

[viscid gust]

I can imagine a proper artist text channel would get a lot more attention, and with attention comes people posting AI art or doing weird shit

[worn briar]

no I'm pretty sure they've seen the rules in #1095941852068331560

[viscid gust]

one could hope

[dull thorn]

Has there been a case of someone posting Ai art?

In here lol

[viscid gust]

not in this forum

but we are relatively unknown

[dull thorn]

How about the art channel?

[viscid gust]

we dont have one

[wise stone]

Rarely, cuz it's againts the rule

[viscid gust]

we HAD one a long time ago but something happened

idk what

[shut obsidian]

revive #fan-art

[wise stone]

So when they come, they are gone.

[viscid gust]

dont test me, I might

[wise stone]

Also, Yippee

[viscid gust]

no but really, #fan-art is depricated because we have the art forum, which is much better

[viscid gust]

what I want is a pure artist general, like what we have now, but much more visible

we can an eye out for AI art in #1095941852068331560

and other users too

[worn briar]

just gotta cultivate the culture

[viscid gust]

the culture in #fan-art as far as i can tell was "be horny, post art"
for at least the first two months

(this is a half joke, it wasnt nearly that bad)

[wise stone]

Interesting archive there.

[viscid gust]

its wild to start from here tho #fan-art message and scroll down

theres a LOT of stuff in there that wouldnt fly today. Some of it is removed due to discord TOS, but most of it is still there since we dont try removing rulebreaking things that were posted before we enacted rules.

omg babby food

look at that date

[shut obsidian]

man

[viscid gust]

oh wow
traditional borzoi art

Man, Y'all have come so far and learned a lot along the way.

NIce

[weak wave]

Gosh I kinda miss the days when neuro was just a mini osu vtuber but I’m happy that she’s gotten so big

[viscid gust]

from what the mods and admins told me a lot of people ended up leaving back then when she got popular. Place didnt feel the same anymore after the unbanning.

felt less cozy or something

[weak wave]

That why I like this channel

Very cozy

[viscid gust]

it feels like a graveyard in #fan-art with all of those white names

[wise stone]

I mean, it has to be expected. No matter how known or unknown you are, some of the fan might not enjoy your content as much as before, and try seek for another thing.

[viscid gust]

yup

im in it for the long haul though

as evidenced by me wearing the title of mod

people will come. people will go. I shall remain to give stability to new and old members of the chat

[wise stone]

ya go, queen.

[proud birch]

Yeah most of the people i knew were gone

Lolol

[wise stone]

Wait

Borzoi, you have two accounts in here?

So your sister has that account. Does that means she knows about our presence and your hobby?

[proud birch]

Yeah she inspired me to make art

[viscid gust]

We still remain. While we are still here its our unofficial job to make the art community as accepting and welcoming as we can to new neuro artists. (and new artists in general, really)

[proud birch]

Thats nice

[viscid gust]

I would have never kept drawing if you guys didnt keep cheering me on in my early days

the artist community inspired me to start at all. I want to be that kind of person for others.

[proud birch]

[wise stone]

[proud birch]

Ngl old art channel was wild

[viscid gust]

i can see that looking at your first finished art in there

[wise stone]

I am not looking that thoroughly yet, but some messages are pretty unhinged.

[viscid gust]

theres quite a few messages from moderators at the time over there that are to be frank
quite shocking

[proud birch]

Lol true

[viscid gust]

i absolutely dont want to link the actual post, but theres one froma former mod on January 11th in that chat thats probably one of the wildest things ive seen on this server

[proud birch]

[viscid gust]

server culture was so different back then I swear to god it im looking at a different server

[untold trench]

you encouraged me to keep posting my amateur works here

[viscid gust]

I really hope you keep doing so!

[untold trench]

I will! I enjoy the vibes here

I've never spoken anywhere else on the server but here

[viscid gust]

Well, I’m happy that you feel comfortable doing so here

[versed bridge]

It was more like a personal server back then

And yknow how group chat work

[viscid gust]

I heard that the general chat got purged because it used to be more of a personal server back then

I bet there was all kinds of stuff that shouldn’t be leaked

Or just piracy links

I bet there was a bunch of that

[versed bridge]

It is what it is

[viscid gust]

By the way, what exactly is that? Sports tape? Chest binding?

[drowsy hinge]

Ooh i realy like the style

[weak wave]

Redraw woo I’m probably not gonna finish this since I started my new job and I’m so busy

[viscid gust]

Cute nonetheless

[wise stone]

I started it, but I might regret my own decision in a future.

Also, Heir, go to bed, ya need energy for tomorrow morning.

[robust sleet]

Ngl, Without this forum I would have never actually started drawing myself. So thank you Heir and everyone here for inspiring me

[steady abyss]

its been way too long since i actually drew anything but heres a random sketch i just did, its not finished or anything but its like 3am and i just kinda felt like it lol

[warm pewter]

You can be proud for picking that pencil back up and doing something!

[sharp pebble]

boring math class...(sigh)

[jade loom]

You have unlocked new role

[elder trench]

Nice doodle, I have boring school as well

[versed bridge]

Damn

[elder trench]

I just did something embarrassing, I was doodling in my notebook and attempted to hit ctrl-z when I did a mistake.

[sharp pebble]

wtf

ctrl and z maybe dooding ,too

[proud birch]

Improvef the shadows

[elder trench]

super cute

[worn briar]

my brother we gotta get you a cintiq

you gonna be the next davinky

[proud birch]

LOL

Jokes aside i probably would just use a phone forever

[elder trench]

its actually unreal that you do that on a phone

[proud birch]

Im addicted on how portable it is

Lol thank you

This is the one that made me settle for art

My health got alot better when i switched from pc wacom to phone no joke

[elder trench]

i can see that, like sitting hunched over in a chair for hours on end takes it toll on the back

[wise stone]

Again, still impressive that you use fingers and phone to draw many astounding works.

[proud birch]

Thank u 😳

Love making art for you guys

[sharp pebble]

bro you paint skirt like in physical engine!

amazing!!

how you do that?

[proud birch]

Oh u flatter me 👉👈
I studied skirt physics from akebi chan manga

[versed bridge]

Very nice

[bleak agate]

neuroNOTED

[proud birch]

Stuff like this

If u wanna read the manga its really nice

But yeah god art

[wise stone]

Hiro's works? No wonder

[proud birch]

Yeah

This is a sketchfrom him but

[sharp pebble]

akebi chan?

[proud birch]

Yeah

Manga panels are always like this its insane

So much effort in the skirt

[sharp pebble]

i only know the anime...

it really great in the effort of skirt

wow

[wise stone]

So if you look up Hiro's manga and drawings, His work iconic shtick are insane drawing of drapes and folds, especially skirts.

[sharp pebble]

ture

[proud birch]

Faxx

Also iconic for ahemm

coughs swimsuit and bodysuit shading

Black and white rendering

[versed bridge]

I see

[sharp pebble]

ummmm

what is ahemm.....

😵‍💫

[bleak agate]

[versed bridge]

Based artists

[worn briar]

bodysuits are hard

they hug the skin but not really so you can't just draw the arm and leg holes as lines on the body and call it a day

[proud birch]

Lol thats true

I love it because it showes the crease around the lower boob to rib and around the cleavages and belly and it gets challenging tp render them

Also more exaggerated highlights

[wise stone]

uhhhh.... okay

[worn briar]

they're specular too

[proud birch]

Oh fax

[worn briar]

I actually haven't seen you draw latex yet borzoi

[wise stone]

anyway, good luck drawing wrinkles and light reflection on that.

[sharp pebble]

that why it is hard

[proud birch]

Ngl ill try to make it rn

[wise stone]

Hold hold hold hold, easy. easy there.

[proud birch]

Its been ages since i made one

[worn briar]

latex gloves my man

nothing too saucy

[wise stone]

right...

[worn briar]

[wise stone]

staring doubtfully

Remember y'all. Don't go too far.

[versed bridge]

Just don't share it here :forsenOkay:

[elder trench]

does this face work

[proud birch]

Pog

Im not that good with perspectives so i dont have a strong opinion about it

[elder trench]

im not good either so

think it looks okay ish

[worn briar]

try mirroring the canvas

see if it still looks okay

[versed bridge]

Flip it

Horizontally

[elder trench]

il do a flip. but i think the entire face is a little to small

yup it looks weid flipped

[sharp pebble]

maybe is the eyes too big?

[worn briar]

is it on another layer?

you can nudge it around until it looks right

[elder trench]

its 3 layers but its in a folder so il move it about a little to fille the voids and make it look right

[worn briar]

don't forget you can transform it freely and just draw over it again

isn't digital drawing wonderful

[versed bridge]

True

[elder trench]

god what would i do without layers masks transorm and ctrl-z

[worn briar]

my dumb ass couldn't do traditional

[versed bridge]

I haven't tried much digital yet LULE

[elder trench]

im actually trying out clip studio paint, its both super cool and hateworthy compared to photoshop

[sharp pebble]

someone told me that the distance of two eyes is the width of one eye

[worn briar]

more or less yes

[sharp pebble]

is that the problem?

[worn briar]

as always, anime style illustrations fudge the human proportions a bit

[elder trench]

the problem was i think the side of her eye it should square off the way i had drawn it

[sharp pebble]

ummmm,u are right

but i paint follow that rule

[versed bridge]

You could always go for semi realistic

Or stylized portion

[proud birch]

Theres tons of lineups i use for Ascen- i mean making art

I forgot i quit valo

[versed bridge]

It's prime time for Deadlock

[worn briar]

wait lemme pull up some BaalBuddy stuff

[wise stone]

Hope this help

[elder trench]

thanks so much, i felt like the area besides her eye was a bit wrong ❤️

[wise stone]

Oh. my. god.

[sharp pebble]

it looks so cute!

[wise stone]

Now I know where are those comic dubs came from.

[proud birch]

LOL

[elder trench]

strangly it does look cute

[sharp pebble]

maybe it has a cute round face

instead of a angle

i like round face a little more though

[elder trench]

Yeah that was what I was going for. I widened the eyes and made the face a bit bigger

[proud birch]

Im gonna disguise a latex suit as a mecha bodysuit

So i can negotiate with the mods

[wise stone]

https://tenor.com/view/annytf-anny-vtuber-gif-25389082

[worn briar]

here's one on facial structure

[bleak agate]

[worn briar]

it's not so much about the absolute position of the parts but balance and ratios

[proud birch]

Ngl

I love mixing masculime mouths with anime girls

[worn briar]

Baal is my current target to greyscale drawing

[proud birch]

Th is is a good ref sheet

Thanks

[worn briar]

right now I'm not going to make any progress with colors

[versed bridge]

I'll never make any progress with colors

[bleak agate]

i'll never make any progress

[sharp pebble]

😂

[worn briar]

right now

gotta make sure to add that part

[wise stone]

Elaborate on that one?

[harsh arch]

His focus is on other things, I guess

[wise stone]

[sharp pebble]

Baal is his current target to greyscale drawing

he said that

[proud birch]

Wait whats a baal

[wise stone]

What is Baal?

Baal the whale?

[sharp pebble]

this one

i guess

[proud birch]

Ohh

I cant read lolol

[wise stone]

Oh, lol

[harsh arch]

Baalbuddy is an artist well known for making humorous (and horny) comics

[versed bridge]

Based

[proud birch]

I guess cheeki is opting for a comic styled artwork? I find those sort of artstyles very expressive and fluid

[wise stone]

Yeah, we just talk about 'em briefly. I know their comic dub but not the artist themselfs.

[boreal stump]

Eyes too close to each other imo

[wise stone]

Welp, time to go for dinner

https://tenor.com/view/fine-dining-i-require-fine-dining-vinesauce-arzette-frog-gif-11945105894474644582

[viscid gust]

I love it

[elder trench]

thanks, apreciate praise

[worn briar]

greyscale is my base, by itself it can still probably look good

I don't have the training or the experience with colors so right now if I try to split my attention and time between coloring/rendering and linework/anatomy/gestures/expressions it'll just detract from the final output

it's better for me to focus on what little I do know first

[bleak agate]

👍

im gonna lock in on my silliness and will draw whatever my head will think of

[proud birch]

Yeah thats good

[dull thorn]

I need a neuro wearing a cute little camping hat

I suggest

I implore

I plead

I want

[elder trench]

here is the "fixed" face

[viscid gust]

Something feels off. Idk why

[elder trench]

i think its the empty space int the shadow, i filled it in with some hair and it works a little better and i fixed the nose

[viscid gust]

Ahhh

[proud birch]

Okay i cleaned the lineart

[bleak agate]

cool

[elder trench]

super cool

[proud birch]

Shaping the shadows using hard brush

[elder trench]

so fucking cool, you to good

[versed bridge]

Look like Cammy

[proud birch]

Yes omg u already noticed

[proud birch]

Haha thank you

[elder trench]

cant wait to see the finished piece

[versed bridge]

Very nice

[bleak agate]

[worn briar]

oh hell now im gonna draw her as aqua stuck in the cage

[bleak agate]

[worn briar]

also crazy blood hammer evil

[elder trench]

https://tenor.com/view/r6sledge-crash-fall-gif-16050917

sledge evil

[worn briar]

i forgot sledge was british

it fits perfectly

[elder trench]

our little bonger with her little sledge. so cute

[proud birch]

Okay i sculpted a bit too much lol

Does it looks a bit too realistic

[worn briar]

too realistic?

it's damn good

is this Honey's outfit?

[wise stone]

It's good tho.

[proud birch]

Sorry i dont know who honey is is she cammy

But thanks guys

Now im scared to add the midtone and shadow ridge

[bleak agate]

just do it

who knows waht magic can happen in this world

i drew this today
based on when i played l4d2 with renarockbells and nicogg (it was modded a bit)

[wise stone]

I don't know anything about this character reference at all, so you can go full blown pure creative output, if you wanna.

[wise stone]

This is the most l4d2 drawing ever.

[steady abyss]

fortnite the prequal

[bleak agate]

so true

[proud birch]

Pog

Bro its been ages since i made this type of art

Its like i unclogged my nose from mucus

[versed bridge]

Going back to your origin

[proud birch]

True

[bleak agate]

nice

thighs

[viscid gust]

Shiny

[steady abyss]

i could never

[eager kiln]

It's been awhile. Decided to redo a thing, not quite up to what I'm thinking yet so I'm up for advice.

[worn briar]

Bro really said "latex? bet"

how the fuck did you do that shine

also neuro probably done

[viscid gust]

cuuuteee

[pallid spade]

wtf. no idea what happened. someone just took my laptop and drew this gremlin on my previous thing. idk who did it i think my place is haunted or something

[glad vault]

(defo wasn’t me)

[untold trench]

this study was SO much fun to draw, I love the colors and the lighting

[viscid gust]

Amazing!

[steady abyss]

tried something new ig lol

heres a like better not like super over saturated and updated picture

[open flint]

looks cool!

[proud birch]

Omg bro

[steady abyss]

hi borzoi

[proud birch]

This is epic as hell

Hello

[steady abyss]

ty ty, i like really did not want to draw anatomy precisely but i wanted to draw so this is what i came up with, perfect excuse to use my like really black marker set i bought

it turned out better than i expected though

i didn't think they would show up that black to the camera

[proud birch]

Oh interesting so that was marker

Very cool

I really like it its like its got so much lore

If i get a chance to for the redraw im gonna make murim styled neuro

[steady abyss]

what does murim style look like

[proud birch]

Yknow like with korean robes and japanese swords

[proud birch]

Its got a vibe like this

[steady abyss]

oh i see

[bleak agate]

[bleak agate]

[sharp pebble]

wtf i painted

[hybrid pilot]

You should have seen the old Neuro art I made when I first joined on my old account

Anyways done with lineart

[harsh arch]

Something really nice

Good job

Your painting skills are enviable

[sharp pebble]

thx bro

[viscid gust]

Real pretty

[mild galleon]

hi artists here are some of my doodles . spoiled toxic sister yuri :P

(if there's any other fan of them id love to be friends ^_^)

[turbid karma]

[worn briar]

oh i can feel the toxic yuri - very good art

i like how neuro's the taller one

[mild galleon]

i didn't mean to make her taller she has big sister energy to me

and thank u!!!!!!!!

[elder trench]

god i just went back to photoshop and the bruhes feel so much better compared to clipstudio

[steady abyss]

i just hate adobe products

[worn briar]

amazing how the tool made to be good at manipulating images is just that

honestly i get the hate, but the actual program is good

[elder trench]

eheh i pirated it because im to cheep to pay whatever it is per month

[worn briar]

it is always morally correct to do that (a joke btw)

[steady abyss]

real

adobe from a company wise is just another maggot crawling in the pile

[elder trench]

its not that i dont like clipstudio its jut that i prefer the brush engine in photosop, it just feels so much better. but fuck paying out of my mind for that product, it should have been just a one time payment

[worn briar]

okay senator, pull it back

[steady abyss]

[elder trench]

adobe is becomming like autodesk, they as well used to provide based programs but have guttet it all for some petty cash

[steady abyss]

autodesk prices are crazy as well

i only own one adobe product and its substance painter 2023

[worn briar]

yeah because they're normally for organizations and businesses

[elder trench]

yeah so that is why i swore to never buy or use their products after they fucked fusion360 so hard its not even funny. like turned one of the best cad programs free for consumers into a burning pile of trash

[worn briar]

what's that free equivalent again

[steady abyss]

anything that isnt autodesk

[elder trench]

if you dont make 5k euroes or something a year you dont have to pay for a license. its a hobby license

[steady abyss]

idk i use blender but they're widely different

[elder trench]

they still have the hobby licence but its more or less useless now compared to what it was before

[mild galleon]

I use fire alpaca TT

[elder trench]

hmmm might need to try that out

[mild galleon]

i do have photoshop but my tablet might explode if i run it for more than a few minutes

[elder trench]

yeah i have the luxury of having a beastly desktop so i dont have that problem

[steady abyss]

desktops are peak

[elder trench]

fax, pure power and silence instead of a jet engine laptop

[proud birch]

Guys my eyes are really saturated from drawing this for hours

Dkes it lookike lates

Latex

[turbid karma]

leather jacket for me

[elder trench]

i have a feeling we are going to get a lot of latex and spandex drawings from you. not that im complaining since your art is fucking awsome

[proud birch]

Tysm i just really like shjny stuff so i try to make everything with shiny textures

[proud birch]

I see thats nice thanks

Jacket doesn feel off or anything?

[worn briar]

leather

[elder trench]

feels like the lower white part over the belt is weird, but i guess its because of the lack of color

[turbid karma]

too many folds, but it's okay

[worn briar]

latex stretches, leather folds

[turbid karma]

they're made good, so they're fine.

[proud birch]

I see

Later im gonna make latex for thighs

Cause skinny latex on the top is 😳

[elder trench]

is it a latex skirt as well

[proud birch]

Yeah like the jackets texture

[elder trench]

ohh neat

[dull thorn]

I'm losing it in class rn

[viscid gust]

your sketches are super pretty

[worn briar]

awwwww so cute

[dull thorn]

SO CUTE

[viscid gust]

Welcome new artist friend 🤝

[sharp pebble]

[tidal cosmos]

i was thinking of changing the art direction of the gamre im thinking , so ill give this aseprite file here and make a new art after ive finished my godot self study

original art by paccha

i just pixelated them

if you want ur own shimejis like this one

ask around #1174291909066375199

[proud birch]

Ohh.ctue

Cute

Bruh im yaking ages

[viscid gust]

Might as well share this here. Masha and I did an art trade as part of a warmup today. Drew each other in the other’s outfit

[proud birch]

Ohhh nice

Did u color it too?

[viscid gust]

Yeah

[elder trench]

cute

[viscid gust]

One of the only times I’ve sketch the body totally naked and then drew the clothes on top. It’s weird to do that

[elder trench]

i always do that, it feel more natural, kinda like dressup

[elder trench]

omg yes, csp supports photoshop files

[worn briar]

rip bozo photoshop

[elder trench]

nah because i love the brush engine in photoshop. so id rather do lineart in photoshop and the rest in csp

[viscid gust]

I installed a module to load photoshop files in paint.net and I save my files in SAI as them if I want to make the image transparent

(The version I have for some reason will not actually export images as transparent, I have to open up paint.net and then export as a PNG from there)

[elder trench]

that is weird. like i thought the entire thing with png as a file format was to export transparent images. your sure you exporded withouth the bottom white layer since that is not transparent

[proud birch]

Oh lol

[versed bridge]

I do that all the time lule

[proud birch]

Im never doing this type of clothes again

Iys so cancer

[elder trench]

it looks super good

[versed bridge]

Looks pretty good tho

[proud birch]

Aww thanks guys

[elder trench]

it looks shiny

[versed bridge]

High quality latex

[proud birch]

Im gonna wrap this up.ij like 10 mins

@wait i forgot.how to shadow booba

[versed bridge]

Get some reference

[proud birch]

True lemme get annys

[versed bridge]

:forsenOkay:

[signal bobcat]

some things I wish I learned while I was still using ibispaint
https://youtube.com/shorts/QvESI9VLXgg?si=egjRrHI3X5PaGP8U

[elder trench]

@viscid gust is this allowed or to much skin, i can cover it up if its a problem

[viscid gust]

its quite a bit of skin showing. youre gonna need to cover her up more

[elder trench]

will do. also do i need to delete the image

[viscid gust]

yeah

[elder trench]

👍

[viscid gust]

tbh idk what you could do to this outfit to make it appropriate enough for the server

its very bondage-y

[elder trench]

yeah i know, the refference im using is a weird colab in a game and is very like not safe. thought i could covert it into a evangelion suit or something

[viscid gust]

remember though, its not always the outfit that makes us ask people to remove stuff like this (in this case its very much mostly that though)
it can also be about the pose, the context, and the facial expression (if its lewd)

just for future reference!

[elder trench]

noted, will try to find the perfect balance

[viscid gust]

as a note, in a lot of art, the biggest givaway something shouldnt be on the server is heart eyes and a hard blush

like its not an instant delete, but its almost always the case

(I speak from experience dealing with this stuff)

[elder trench]

https://tenor.com/view/noted-gif-19770842

[viscid gust]

liek imagine in your current picture you put little glowing pink hearts in Evil's eyes

no other change

it extremely changes the context of the art

[elder trench]

yeah i can see that, was toying with the idea of just adding a suit under the outfit to cover up the skin but that turned out even more not okay

[viscid gust]

yeah thats kinda how it goes with latex suits
its hard to strike a balance, especially since your outer layer looks like how youve already drawn it

[elder trench]

i know, but its drawing. nothing lost other than some hours so il have fun comming up with something else, if anything i can just call it practice

[viscid gust]

its really dang good looking though

I wanted to tell you that

[elder trench]

thanks, i apreciate the praise. it means a lot

[viscid gust]

[worn briar]

DAMN

did you save your timelapse

[proud birch]

Oh no lolol

Do you want it i can get it for you

Since i usually just save screenshots and for some timelapses are like 700 mb probably due to my canvas size

[worn briar]

how'd that fit in your phone

[proud birch]

Yeah so i have to delete it after posting online

[worn briar]

oh i forgot you have a pixiv

i wonder why people still post art there

[turbid karma]

Well, its specialized in anime art, so if you draw exclusively in this style it's a great option imo

There are a lot of quality works without AI (there is a separate category for them)

very convenient tagging system

[white bison]

Yeah I have ai art turned off for pixiv, lots of great works, no reason to not use pixiv

[turbid karma]

the only thing is that most of them are in japanese, so you have to use a translator

[worn briar]

bit of a pain for me to manage my followed artists on pixiv and twitter considering most of them have their twitter accounts linked to their pixivs, so i just follow them on twitter

then you have edge cases of jp artists that don't have twitter accounts, so i tend to not follow them

[white bison]

Fair enough, it is easier

[turbid karma]

I also love the pixiv main page, there's always awesome artworks popping up every day.

[bleak agate]

-gets sleep deprived
-plays cs2 and tf2
-gets mad and tired
-draws random thing without any thought while listening to imagine dragons
i love being myself

[turbid karma]

damn, I felt the aura of that art before you sent it

[bleak agate]

neuroKuru

[viscid gust]

drew vani today as my warmup

[harsh arch]

It has that beautiful quality to it. I really like it

[viscid gust]

i honestly have no clue how it turned out that well as a sketch

my sketches are normally kinda ass

working on the neuro Mini fishing thing rn

since i have ben drawing her so much its always weird when im NOT drawing neuro

[viscid gust]

Yesterday and the day before's art.

Dealing with something personal so I couldnt draw those days. Instead used these as warmups for todays sketch

Hey @viscid gust does your OC have a character sheet or reference?
