And when the Lamb opened the first seal
I saw the first horse
The horseman held a bow
And when the Lamb opened the second seal
I saw the second horse
The horseman held a sword
The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black
The last one is a green
And when the Lamb opened the third seal
I saw the third horse
The horseman held a balance
And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal
I saw the fourth horse
The horseman was the Pest

oh my dear sweet youth

how i envy and pity thee

how i wish to hold your hand only to tell thee that what is in store for thy talented, good natured soul, in this realm, is nothing short of misery and suffering.

thy haft revealed thy true spirit in perhaps one of the most ghastly of all realms.

Ye will find no wisdom nor fortune here, only the corpses of those bitter and the even bitterrer hounds that feast upon them.

Do not seek wisdom, for it will only pollute thy invulnerable essence, trust thy hand, thy mind, thy will, above all else.

Do not follow in the footsteps of the wise, seek instead what they sought, that golden light, that golden land and kingdom, that higher realm which thou arst no stranger to, but the men of this world will call you dangerous, and autistic, and horrid, and cruel , and selfish.

This thy fate, and thy fate ye cannot escape.

Now ye must grow strong, beyond stronger, even in thy most vulnerable moments, trust no one, not even yourself, not even these words.

Just continue searching, and be helpful to those who ye can spare thy talent for, but I will pray to the gods to have mercy on thee, even if it will be of no use, for thy journey is a long a horribly tough one, and ye shall find no human body in whom to confide in thy tears, thy wishes, thy desires, ye shall find no warmth but in these stories ye wield.

That is your greatest weapon, they can take your body, they can kill you, they can maim you, they can hurt you, they can name you, but they will never what we know to be true, keep on young one, and never stop trying to become better today, for tomorrow's trials require thee be even harder than thy was today. Godspeed.

/ic/ is in decline not because /ic/ is inherently the problem, but rather the west is in decline. The east is doing just fine, mind you. (If you want to call low birth rates in japan fine)

The answer to overpopulation is clear, anime titties, technology, things to do besides fuck and eat and sleep.

The world is becoming a sensual orgy fest because the west i missing thinkers who can do, who aren't afraid to say what they know to be true, and create art from a place that questions all current morality, tastefully and expertly done.

I'm not calling for revolution or a new movement, that's exactly what they want. A martyr, more yelling and screaming, more distraction.

Just work on your craft, and ignore, ignore, ignore EVERYTHING else. Even what I'm saying now. The youth has become too overstimulated to process what things were like before cell phones and the old are too jaded by the youth to do anything meanwhile.

I'm asking you to sit back and just observe.

If you're a moralfag, observe the porn addict artist, and try to find the godly in what he is doing. see the desperate human side to what is occuring.

If you're a pornfag, observe the blind faith execised by the moralfag, and try to find the similarities of your own blind faith to the coom.

Radicals have only won temporarily, they have the illusion of success and wealth, and they want you to fester about bananas duct taped to walls.

They want to distract you from the fact that their empire is built on pillars of sand, and that all it would take is time and erosion before it all comes crashing down and we can sit back and smile, for our time, for the modest, for the quiet, for the patient artist to prevail.

It won't be easy, I'm asking you to be calm like water, be like water. When someone hurts you, just absorb it like the ocean absorbs another piece of crap thrown into it. erode the pain, distill it.. and ultimately... ignore it.

so far its madness with all 6 audios playing at once, my attention is drifting from each one to each one but im picking up little pieces here and there

also does Huston ever draw or does he just talk lol

maybe im just hopped on adderall at the moment but i'm going to try to process 6 videos at THE SAME time since watching just one at a time doesn't hold my attention

GIMME SOME RECS (I've already watched all of vilppu and little else)

would anyone recommend proko?

i have no tangible goals, just to improve on all areas so suggest anyone and anything as long as it worked for you / how you think it helped

I'll let you guys know how my little experiment goes / how much i manage to retain

I cloned the Vilppu folder btw

https://mega.nz/folder/9Pw1lYaS#Me7LSwlSg59lNGmkj9tt4w

I plan on watching Huston, so I'll probably clone that too.

BTW you can get 20 GB free storage by just adding your phone number and having MEGA send a verification code. Not too bad of a deal if you ask me. That ups the free account to 35 GB

i consider myself a well organized schizo &
yeah thats a mini trampoline in the corner

Still don't get it? Okay let me break it down for you:

1. Study the fundamentals on your own
2. Look at what others are doing, see what works for you, abandon all advice the second it stops working for you. The quote you're looking for is:
"Speak in truest words what you so firmly believe to be the truth today, even if it completely contradicts what you said yesterday."
3. Stop comparing yourself to other people, or do, but do it in a productive, healthy way. "Ok so this anon is WAY more talented than me and has 10k followers. How does this affect me? Be honest. You can be jealous, you can seethe.

True story, I was referencing an artwork by Fellatrix for a drawthread request on /v/ and decided to send them a message on pixiv as a heads up.

What I got in return was a lot better than what I expected, (no reply) actual answers to my questions and some positive feedback.

Sometimes you luck out and remember, there's people behind all that glam, and if you're polite and modest and honest, they will help you.

So in massage therapy I learned about this controversial method of diagnosing (which you're not supposed to do) the problems in a client.

1) have the client move the limb on their own
2) have the massage therapist move the limb with no effort from the client
3) Have the client generate resistance while the massage therapist moves the limb
4) Massage the soft tissues that you believe to be causing the pain/problem/knot and use your expertise
to alleviate the problem in a way that causes as little pain and discomfort for the client.

There is what's called a power differential in massage therapy, the nude client TRUSTS that you, the clothed massage therapist, will alleviate the pain they have and will not abuse the trust to do lewd things.

OP what your problem is, is that, you believe that we, the denizens of /ic/ owe you something for your trial and failings. We don't. Just because you chose to listen to the advice given doesn't guarantee success in this world.

How about you drop the attitude, and start asking questions more politely, and when a question goes unanswered, don't bitch, USE YOUR BRAIN AND THE GODDAMN INTERNET to solve your problem.

There is a power differential in place, you expect free advice from people who studied the fundamentals and succeeded and improved.

We are the clothed, you are the naked.
We owe you nothing, and one day, when you find out that anything in this world worth getting isn't easy or fast otherwise everyone would do it, you won't want to help dumb newbies either.

The problem with the internet is that it gives everyone and their mom a voice, but it does not give you any power. It only grants the illusion of power. The illusion of fame, once upon a time it was a marvel to see your name in print, now thanks to Facebook, everybody is somebody.

Damn. I guess I REALLY lucked out with having STEM parents who both have at least masters degrees and no particularly bad habits.

Dad: Why are the dicks always black boxman?

Mom: Oh my. Well thats something!

Both my parents aren't fond of it, and prefer my normal art tenfold but they luckily for me possess the intelligence to at least understand I'm a human being with needs and desires (even if I haven't gotten laid in forever, save for my whore of a neighbor last year and that one coworker of mine)

RELAX

nobody cares what you do. as long as you do it well. Nobody cares how long something takes, as long as the end product is genuine and comes from a person who put in the effort.

Okay, so today i'm gonna draw FURRY SCAT DIAPER DEMONS GANGBANGING A DINOSAUR

my first question isn't going to be, "what the hell is wrong with you?" but rather "Ok, you do you, just make sure the rendering on the dinosaur is top notch and the scat is beleivable."

But who cares what I think, I'm an outlier, I'm crazy with a super high IQ.

Those who mind, (the "omg degenerate" crusaders) don't matter, and represent either a fringe but vocal group or 99% of the stupid masses. Those who matter, don't mind.

Seriously, there are good intelligent people in this world who will support you (like me, just not financially) even if they don't know you personally just as long as you do what you truly desire with PASSION and GUSTO and KUTSPAH.

I couldn't care less what another person is into sexually, or what they choose to do with their time and I expect to be treated in the same manner.

So fuck the self pity party, you want to kill yourself? >>5219838
>>5219848

Go do it then. What were you expecting? The internet to tell you some magic uplifting B.S. about believing in yourself and that it gets better? Nah nigga, it never gets better. It gets exponentially worse day by day by fucking day and you have to compensate for that fact by becoming HARDER day by fucking day. Why the fuck should i believe in your dumb ass when I don't even believe in myself 100%?

It's called faking it till you make it. Or at least, fake it until you get a taste of stability and comfort and you live long enough to appreciate it and pray to gOD or the devil or nobody that you didn't burn every bridge of a relationshit you made in the process.

Feel me? shiiieeet niggas be coming onto the 4chan whinin and venting " o m g l i f e i s p a i n "

I get it, but the first step of maturity is realizing the world is shit, the second step is deciding what you're going to do about it.

"okay the world is shit, regardless I am going to ______________ because ______ will pay me to _____________ which i am good at, which I think the world needs, and I love it. I love _________ even though the world is shit."

also to anyone in their early twenties wondering "Wow is life really this shitty? Does it get better?"

Short answer: Yes and no.

The world doesn't stop being shit, ever, in fact as you gain more experience from fucking up in the magical time society has what little faith in you "oh well he/she's still young" coupled with your brain not being fully developed until about 25ish

trust me go out there and DO STUPID SHIT

Go do graffiti, move to the city, join a band, fucking steal shit if you feel like (just don't get caught) rip up and tear up your clothes, buy stupid shit from the secondhand store, try being homeless for 24 hours and see how you like it, loiter, skateboard, don't smoke cigarettes (thats for people who have nothing interesting about themselves and just want some title as "smoker" plus you'll gain a reputation for not giving a shit about yourself which is worse than wanting to kill yourself trust me)
fuck climb a tree for no reason, dont harass those younger, weaker and naive than you, but tell your superiors to take a hike.

Again, one day, society really will not give a shit about you anymore and you will just be another boring adult who knows better (assuming you didn't get yourself killed doing all the stuff i mentioned)

Christ, I would NOT go back to my early twenties if you paid me, but looking back, I did awesome shit on someone's elses dime (which now I'm paying for it) and I will never get to do that shit again, or at least, have it feel "cool".

Breaking the law (with obvious limitations) when you're young is fun, when you do it when your older, it just kind of, loses its charm. You're just a criminal at that point.

digital painting has a learning curve and a gap where it feels unnatural and suckish, I still rely on traditional scans for my sketch from time to time and haven't totally 100% worked in digital (yet)

I hope this helps, (it's kinda all the knowledge that made digital "click" for me) remember, don't believe in yourself, believe in the boxman who believes in you!

I'm really starting to think the internet is poison to artists.

I think i'm gonna go explore reality some, exercise some imagination because otherwise reality is really dull.

maybe then my art will gain some soul back.

Playing pretend is good for you despite what anyone says, staring at a computer to "learn something useful" is not. I don't care how many followers you have or how hip to 4chan you are anymore.
