>>2005332

I'm surprised people don't know the oldest trick in the book to get a community to hate a specific topic: Spamming the fuck out of it.

>>2005290

She embodies just about everything wrong with digital fan-artists while being able to make bank due to the fandoms she panders to. Her art makes me vomit, but I respect the hustle.

>>2005296
FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING MISOGYNIST SHITLORD

>>2005290
on terms of skill she is really good but fan art is kind of boring

>>2005290
im not a fan of this kind of artwork, but damn she gets the moniez

>>2005346
>on terms of skill she is really good
lol
has she ever drawn legs?

>>2005372
Of course she has.
She made anatomy tutorials.

>>2005389
why does it look like that figure is falling over?

>>2005410
>why does it look like that figure is falling over?
Because it is

>>2005410

>>2005422
that just makes it look even more retarded.

>>2005433
Ignore it then

>>2005422
Anon is right. Figure should fall in this position.

>>2005433
What? The guy is right in the draw over though. She is falling over pretty hard, and would need to separate her feet a bit to balance out. It's a shit drawing covered by shiny rendering, aka everything sakimichan does.

>>2005328
>made by her cuntlickers.

Wait, what? Literally the only people who keep spamming /ic/ with these threads are faggots like you and OP who seem to be jealous as fuck of her and desperately want /ic/ to join in on their little "we hate Sakimichan" circlejerk.

>girl proves that an painter/illustrator can be financially successful without being under the auspices of a single large company and instead create content for a community
>/ic/ gets butthurt

There's no reason to be upset, this whole thread is sour grapes and jealousy.

If it's any consolation her patreon will probably see a pretty significant drop off rate over time as her "patreon only" illustrations inevitably get leaked, but she will be set for life if it lasts for a year.

CONGRATULATIONS SAKIMICHAN ^u^

>>2005290
is boring

>>2005445
Yea, not that these threads make her earn less cash, or make these faggots more skilled.
I dont get the point of crying over it.

>>2005422
do you think this left/right representation of weight works? I did it once and looking back it was basically fox news infographing. I mean, the least you have to do is split it with a plane, not a line.

>>2005433
Tried to make myself more clear, I'm not good at explaining sorry

>>2005290
Thanks /ic/, now i have a sexual fantasy/fetish/obsession with her .Not with her paintings but HER.

>>2005456

The hatred in these threads remind me of the misogyny rampant in the art community. As a guy, I feel ashamed to be branded with that label. I don't earn much, but I donate $5 a week to Sakimichan and a few other female artists to help support them in what they do.

>>2005446
>create content for a community
>create fan art
>draw other people ideas

>>2005464
Holy shit, just draw the fucking legs in a way that would balance the figure. Stop talking. You don't need a hundred words and 2 images to describe how to balance a fucking figure using its center of gravity.

>>2005492
Yes and? Are we just supposed to act as if fanart has no market when it's been proven time and again that it does? Also, most of those content creators love it when popular artists do fanart of their work. It's free marketing for them.

>>2005490

the allure of a successful lady artist making 34k a week, degrading and cuckolding me as her slave while she fucks a big black artist as she forces me to draw sketches for $1 patreon donors

>>2005491
Oh shut up

>>2005492
Do you really not see how working on your own time on your own material, derivative or not, from out of your home is preferable to working for a large company? Fuck you NEET retard.

>>2005503
>average american male

I'd like her if all her drawings weren't a frontal shot from the waist up of x generic anime girl.

>>2005513
Nah I bet he's a Britcuck

>>2005530
If you look her old stuff there's full bodies, different angles, original characters, alternative rendering styles, landscapes, creatures, 3d sculpture, photo studies, perspective, and even animation.

She is just smart enough to give her patreon audience what they want.

>>2005509

>drawing fanart is preferable to making your own original content

Maybe if you're creatively bankrupt, sure.

The fact that she's making money off the IPs of other, bigger, corporations means she's still at their mercy. Such is IP law. Companies are fully within their right to put an end to her if they wanted to be dicks about it. In fact, if most corporations were as insecure as some artists when it comes to "protecting" their work, fan-art wouldn't be allowed at all.

>>2005535
>>>/pol/
there you go pal, go cry about israel and about getting clucked

>>2005555
Are you fucking retarded? Fanart is free promotion for these companies. Big companies will sooner start paying Sakimichan to do fanart of their work before they'd try to shut her down. Kind of like how game studios are starting to pay youtubers and twitch streamers to play and stream their games.

>>2005555
Yeah but we don't live in your fantasy "what if" world. Fanart has become an essential part of marketing for many companies. If Disney released a new animated movie and there was no fanart of any of the characters to be found online, their marketing department woul shit themselves and try to find out what went so horribly wrong.

Couple of days before the big box office premiere, the #sketch-dailies guys on twitter do a HTTYD2 topic. Suddenly hundreds of artists with thousands of followers are doing #Toothless and #HTTYD2 related sketches. What a coincidence, right? Surely Dreamworks would love to shut that down! No way that they are actually paying the Sketch-Dailies guys to have these topics at exactly the right time, right?

>>2005573

Big companies don't need artists making money off "free promotion" of their IPs. In fact, the reason the fan artist is able to make money is BECAUSE of the fandoms formed around the IPs from those bigger corporations. Those companies don't need fan-artists who make money simply off riding coat tails. They are in every right to send them a cease and desist. Samikichan is not Artgerm.

Artgerm is contracted by corporations because he has his own brand and fanbase. Samikichan is contracted by the FANS of those corporations because she's a fan-artist. Huge difference.

hi i bought some of her tutorials so i could be like her. ive been studying art for 20 years now i think im getting really good. any advice?

>>2005584
Fan art generates the hype around products. It's viral marketing. It also prolongs the immersion. Even after a show or game is finished, you get new content from fanartists and are more open to a sequel for example.

>>2005584
>Big companies don't need artists making money off "free promotion" of their IPs

They don't need them, but it helps them, as explained in >>2005583

Do you really think having no fanart at all is a better start for a movie release than having thousands of fanart pieces trending on social media, creating extra hype? Regardless how big your own marketing campaign was, fanart IS a measuring tool of how much the public cares about your product. Obviously depending on the product itself, like for some serious drama or horror film there won't be much fanart and it still might do well, but for an animated movie or popular video game, or comic reboot, cartoon etc, the amount of fanart is quite related to its success.

It's really not rocket science. The more people care about your product, the better it will do. Shutting down fanartists who are people that care about your product AND make others care as well is always a bad move from a business perspective.

I don't know why you need to cling to this fantasy of yours that Sakimichan might one day be shut down by big companies, but it is just that, a fantasy. It's not going to happen. Ever.

>>2005549
>She is just smart enough to give her patreon audience what they want.
yeah, she's smart enough to hide how bad she is at drawing to plebs who know nothing about art.

>>2005597
ironic shitposting is still shitposting

I stopped talking shit about the rough areas around her art once I realized she goes from a blank canvas to finished in 3-4 hours.

>>2005555
That's not at all what I'm saying you degenerate retard. Do you know what a typical artist does? They go to their absolutely shitty 9 to 5 job with a power-tripping fuck head and a bunch of phony faggots breathing down their necks all day and then come home and make art in what's left of their life in the interim. Many decent independent artists don't survive on their art alone. Sakimichan is making fanart now earning more money than a fucking surgeon (which she genuinely likes doing as far as I can tell) and then she can make her own shit on the side if she feels like it as sure as any other artist. She will be set for life in less than two years and could stop as abruptly as she started.

Stupid ass nigga.

>>2005290
>ugly huge watermark in the corner
just why fuck it up like that

>>2005601

It's not a matter of making the fan-art, it's the matter of THAT being your main source of income.

People who's primary source of income is fan-art don't create the hype, they are cashing in off it's already established presence. The fan-artists who create the hype do it for free of their own free will (mainly because they are fans themselves in one way or another). Not at the request of the already established fans of that IP.

Artgerm draws fan-art, but that isn't his main source of income. He has his own brand as well as contracts from companies on top of teaching in classrooms.

Samiki is literally just pandering to the fans of other people through the internet to make a dollar while making laughable tutorials like >>2005389

The two are worlds apart. I'd much rather be in Artgerm's shoes than Samiki's.

>>2005609
I remember the last time people on /ic/ thought they were better than Sakimichan. Boy was that a joke. Remember those "money train" guys? That embarassing DA group? Hahaha. I bet you are one of those guys or at the very least around their "skill" level.

>>2005624
Why do you keep namedropping Artgerm?

>>2005633

Because he's an example of an artist who isn't at the mercy of corporations for his work since they actually contract him for work and he has his own brand. Which is the opposite situation Samiki is in.

>>2005464
her drawing is tilted, that's the only major problem. you're using x,y,z, coordinates and not even accounting for the perspective. if you're going to redline at least take the time to study the drawing

>>2005623
it'd be fucked even without the watermark

>>2005652

You know, besides the anatomy been total crap and the messy line work.

>>2005694
the anatomy isn't over-the-top spectacular, but it gets the point across. and it's a sketch, why should it have super clean line work to begin with?

do you hate her so much you can't even look at the work objectively?

does anyone know what sakimichan looks like?

my opinion is based slightly on, if its a man or woman and if they are attractive or not.

Their art is almost completely based on sex appeal. It's a shallow way to build a fan base but in the majority of western cultures this sort of thing works really well right now.

It's not a bad thing to make art like this, just as long as its not the only thing being made. Luckily we have all the esteemed artists on /ic/to balance things out, because most of the stuff on here totally doesn't revolve around sexy characters and is very deep and original.

>>2006084
Because some shitposters keep shilling him and he's a fucking plagiarist.

She's not incredibly skillful, but good enough to do pieces that are very visually appealing for the masses.

Her style is very commercial, she really knows how to sell them and that we can't deny.

>>2006092
He is a plagiarist indeed, he copies other artist's ideas/compositions, but remakes them entirely in his style, which is very enjoyable and most of the time, even more interesting to look than the original.

>>2006092
>he's a fucking plagiarist.

No more a plagiarist than fan-artists.

>>2006092
He's also a massive hypocrite, being a tracer himself

>>2006106
I like Kr0n art a lot, his painting skills are really good, but there's a huge difference between fanart and plagiarism:

Fanart:
Make an entirely new piece based on a character you doesn't own.

Plagiarism:
Use exactly the same composition of an artwork from another artist.

>>2006116
>Make an entirely new piece based on a character you doesn't own.
>a character you doesn't own

Boom. That's enough. If you're doing it for money that simply adds onto it.

>>2006115
He doesn't trace, he copies. That's equally bad, but at least he got the skills to copy and make it his way, specially the faces and the whole colors.

>>2005753
I'm jelly as fuck

>>2006119
Legally speaking, yeah, artistically speaking, not.

>>2006103
Still an awful thing to do, especially when you're making money off of it.

And have the fucking skills to just not plagiarize to begin with.

>>2005290
Her rendering is pretty nice, though I think there isn't much variety between textures, and sometimes I think the skin looks like the person's actually a wax figure. I do respect how much work she puts in though. Just starting to learn digital painting and coloring myself, I found it's a lot harder and more time consuming than I thought.

>>2007125
>that shaved off mass of a boob on the left one

basically makes the right one bigger

>>2007142
Are you the guy that does those kinds of greentexts when somebody insults Sakimichan? I've had an anon who said something similar days ago.

>>2007144
We also need to remember that know how it works doesn't mean you can draw it perfectly, otherwise any physician could draw the human figure perfectly without a proper art training.

>>2007147
Her right boob looks small, and look at the underside of her left one. It looks "cut" rather then being rested on the chest.

>>2007160
I was insulting her too actually.

>>2007166
Well good then.

Sakimichan isn't great, but isn't bad too. Her secret is that she found some pretty effective shortcuts to make her art look very appealing to the crowd.

All those bright colors and ultra soft shading attracts the mainstream public more than anything else.

>>2007183
>shortcuts to make her art look very appealing to the crowd.
Being a grill?
>soft shading
She uses soft brushes, but I've also seen in her videos that she uses the smudge tool.

Just saying.

stop beating a dead horse.

i think everyone gets the fact that she is all flash and no substance, and shes basically exploiting that fact.
but its obvious y'all niggers are jealous as fuck.

>>2007184
>She uses soft brushes, but I've also seen in her videos that she uses the smudge tool.
That's what I meant when I said "shortcuts", it's much easier and she made it work in her style, people love soft shading, the smoother the better.

>Being a grill?
It helps, but it's her style and the fanart theme that made her really famous.

She does ultra smooth, bright and colorful artworks about famous characters, then she makes everyone idealistically beautiful in a semi-realistic way, that never fails.

>>2007198
>people love soft shading, the smoother the better
>the smoother the better

I disagree, it makes things look boring as fuck

>>2007205
theres a clear difference between this and sakimi
>bright and colorful artworks

>>2007184
i never got used to the smudge tool. you dont even need it to make the smooth plastic-y rendering that sakimichan uses in all of her works

This chick is close to making 0.5 Million per year.

Does Marko even make that much?

>>2007205
>it makes things look boring as fuck

So like does anyone have her Patreon brush pack (not her free DA one)?

>>2007211
Exactly. Most photoshop dudes just use custom brushes/and or low opacity to blend.

>>2007212
Times have changed.
I remember there was a CA.org stream with him, where he mentioned earning 10k one month because of some guys, who saved up, flew him into their home town and made him work his ass off for a month in their apartment for some game they were trying to develop (pic related). Andrew Jones went "10k?! He's a damn rockstar..."

That was four or five years ago, I think. But Marko isn't stupid. As the CEO of SMV he earns way more than sakimichan nowadays, guaranteed.

>>2007205
Thats too smooth. I hardly ever see art that so blended like that.

>>2007205
But it's not about your taste or mine, I don't like it either, but a smoother shading is far more popular among the general public, didn't you notice that?

I've seen some amazing painterly artworks with some incredible strokes being ignored while some overly bright, with lots of color dodge, some lame post effects and a smooth shading be considered a masterpiece.

>>2007206
Don't you see all those shiny things all over her paintings?

She also uses some extremely saturated colors in some parts, almost looking like neon, which makes her works all flashy and "magical" to her fans, they love it.

>>2007266
>to her fans

How do artists deal with knowing that the majority of their fans are idiots they would never want to converse with or be in the same room with.

It's thoughts like these that really prevent me from trying to get popular. and just keeping to myself mostly.

But then again people are simply paying to see her draw...stuff. Not specifically a certain character, but just to draw.

You still got a shitload of hentai doujinshi artists at comiket, and that's at least over a million dollars being passed around over fanart.

>>2007287
I wonder if Disney etc. are actually cool with this. I've heard they got angry with random artists at cons too.

>>2007285
Better question. What artist is making that kind of money through convention visits?

A convention visit for a weekend wouldn't even net most artists of her caliber and better half of what much she makes in a week.

>>2007279
It's 17.5k each 2 weeks, 35k per month.

>>2007287
Sells tons of prints to. Besides patreon how much more cash is being made? Christ how much does sakimichan make a year?

>>2007290

It even shows how they felt "change" for copyright after the popularity of Frozen...like they're okay with it.

>>2007289

>>2007293
MUH MONEY

>>2007301
>don't even make large amounts of prints because they know they could get in trouble for it

I doubt it since you can buy doujinshi from doujinshi based sites like dlsite. Even pdf based doujins.

>>2007297
Yeah she went from creating shit, to drawing other peoples shit.

Thats one of the main reason i lost interest in her work. It just pages full of fanart. Her old work was so much better.

>>2007301
>because they know they could get in trouble for it
Proofs

>>2007205
Idk that picture just looks...Awkward.

I kind of like the smooth look. If its done right. Like mah boi Artgerm

>>2007308

I'm honestly curious if Sakimi is making more than Artgerm. She shouldn't considering the quality of her work, but people are idiots with their money so she's cashing in.

>>2007308
What is artgerm's studio even doing? I only see his artwork and it's all fan art (I think?). It certainly looks like fanart if it isn't. I'm not seeing how that would be marketable as a studio.

>>2007309
All people who pay for art are idiots. Art should be free.

>>2007309
She probably is, but artgerm doesn't have those 2 week deadlines of patreon. And he has a long line of fans wanting commissions. So unlimited work, but at a good pace.

>>2007313
>it's all fanart

You do understand he actually gets contracted to draw those characters more often than not, right? He even does statue designs.

If you want some real money, you need to do art for people that like shiny and smooth art.

You can aim for a 3d render look, but don't forget that you can't go way too realistic, they like it more cartoony and cute.

>>2007315
Yes, now excuse me while I try to pay my rent by singing a lovely song.

>>2007308
But sakimichan is "extremely talented and driven!"

>>2007315
wut

>>2007315

Correction, fan-art should be free. OC should be paid for unless is you making it yourself. If you're an idea guy, can't draw for shit, and don't care to learn, commission someone to draw it.

>>2007321
Just found a real job.

>>2007325
What about those dudes waiting in line to ask their favorite comic book artist to draw [copyrighted character]? Should the guy draw free stuff for everyone?(which would be 50+ people since it's free)

>>2007325
>OC should be paid for unless is you making it yourself.
Paid for refs. Artists should be a slave.

>>2007308
Artgerm uses semi hard/soft automatic blend thingy in painter.

The dude I posted probably used the 0-25% hardness settings in photoshop, a softness that soft is usually used for airbrushing photos.

his artwork is ridiculous. how do you even develop a taste this bad?
either way, he did something right with the whole kronprinz faggotry. i didn:t even know he existed before that and now faggots like OP keep posting him as if he deserved any more attention. but he really doesn:t. his art isn:t interesting and he isn:t interesting as a person.
it:s just generic DA weeboo shit, omg look at that technical skill faggotry. he is one in a 100 million who can do that.

Joke aside. Patreon is awful service because its shows how much money artist will get. "Never tell anyone how much money you make " This is number 1 rule in adult world. These kind threads are perfectly illustrated this

>>2007346
you can opt to hide it

>>2007346
that doesn't stop people from giving him more money apparantly.

in fact it seems to be build into patreon as a feature.

>>2007346
Some of the people are just internet people at least, no known real identities.

>Artgerm
AG has a stronger history and healthy professional career.
Contracts and commissions for major companies like Marvel and Sideshow uses his compositions for statues.

>Sakimichan
Fan art to the nth degree. Well rendered and received spawning from DeviantArt, Sakimi just seems to ride the waves of the big blockbuster comic/anime's of old and new.

I don't think her renditions of the characters she draws is as valuable as Artgerm's because she warps them too much. It's sort of like Shunya Yamashita warping any semblance of character facial features into that generic bishoujo face.

Are you d/ic/ks holding back your punches because she's a girl? Are you in love with her, anon? She's a neet's kryptonite, ASHEEN WOHMYN. And she can into art, that makes her potential wiafu material, right? Is the reason none of you are going all out with your smear campaign is because you all think you might have a chance?

>>2007374
shes also a size queen so goodluck dippin your dick in her, she wont allow it unless you are packing at LEAST a 9 inch meat sabre. Luckily, I have 13 inches so I probably will get a chance to fuck her eventually.

>>2007374

nah I cant stand her. All YOUNG female artists these days paint the same exact shit. At least have distinct styles, every bitch artist is the same.

But you got guys like karl kopinski, marko, dave rapoza, kekai kotaki, theyre all way fuckin different from eachother with completely different styles.

Meh, another reason why men are better than women.

>>2007374
wat

I don't care for her art but I can respect her business sense.

>>2007380

sad but true

>>2007380
You're wrong.
I like all those artists.

But being female doesn't mean they're doomed to be shit forever. Being Pampered does though.
Look at fucking
Karla Ortiz.

I can respect the massive amount of pandering Sakimi and kr0n do, and i actually can get behind some of kr0n's work, but Sakimi's god damn shine one every little thing irks the living hell out of me. If everything wasn't so shiny it would probably look twice as good.

>>2007698
But her fans are like moths, they love shiny and bright things.

>>2007380
>All YOUNG female artists these days paint the same exact shit. At least have distinct styles, every bitch artist is the same
How many female artists do you even know?

I fucking love /ic/'s reactions to shit like sakimi and kron. Like yeah you can not like shit but people in this thread takes it to a whole new level, like they're just fucking superior for having a different opinion.

Did she release that one Bayo picture yet?

>>2005290
hiding hands :^)

>>2007698
Seriously, the masses love shiny shit.
I make a modest living off of shiny shit.

>>2007383
Anons are going soft on her, compared to how they ruined kronz. They're holding out that on the off chance she might return one of their wierd sexual advances.

They hate on her here but will hit on her in her tumblr, DA, intsagram, etc. The potential to get pussy overules everything.

>>2007936
>Ruined Kronz

He's still making 2k per week. People still like and follow his work.

/ic/ didn't ruin him at all. /ic/ can't ruin anything.

Sakimi and Kr0n are cashing in on the same shit. Pandering to fandoms for IPs they don't own. She's as cancerous as Kr0n is.

The reason /ic/ doesn't go after Sakimi so hard is partially because she's a girl, and partially because there are idiots where who don't think making a living off fan-art makes you a shit artist, even though it does.

>>2007940
He was making $3k before shit hit the fan and was going at a very good rate just prior to that. He was knocked down $500 but since then he's barely made $100 back.

The ones who stayed are nothing but apologists.

>>2007956
>He was making $3k before shit hit the fan

Post the screencap

>>2007963
Alright. Let me go back in time for a second.

>>2007966

Oh so you're full of shit then? Alright.

Like I said, /ic/ didn't ruin him. /ic/ can't ruin shit.

All that drama was nothing but hot air from salty faggots.

>>2007969
He's still pretty popular on pixiv too from whst I saw

>>2007956
As someone who was (and still am) donating to his patreon.

It was never making 3k when shit hit the fan. I was watching very closely. When shit it that fan he was like 460-470 patreons. Before shit hit the fan it was around 480 patreons.

Now its 520 patreons

>>2007977

Everyone who was paying attention during the fiasco knows that, anon. I don't even donate to his patreon and knew.

>>2007956 is just a fucking delusional moron.

>>2007977
>>2007978
SURE THING KRON

fuck sakimichan

As someone who's new here, why is fan-art so hated on? I'm starting to get into art and one of the main reasons is because I'd love to draw some of my favorite fictional characters for fun. How come this seems to be the grounds for a public lynching?

>>2008006
because sakimi and kron are literally just drawing mediocre fanart and getting paid thousands and thousands of dollars. it makes us jealous and sad.

>>2008006
cuz muh studies, muh loomus, crag mullanz, jaymay jonz, run jianpu, muh castles, muh dunjunz

>>2006115

Funny how no one cared about sakimichan until she got patreon.

>>2008006
probably because people see it as "pandering" to a fanbase, being unoriginal, and basically getting paid lots of money to draw other people's characters and over-render them.

Really depends on who you ask. Also, because most fanart is absolutely horrible, and most people's first (shit) drawings on DA or the like are fanart.

>>2008006
literally everything to do with art is grounds for lynching here. the only thing you probably won't get chewed out on is saying you like repin or sargent.

>>2008149
>no one cared about SakimiChan
>until she started making 6 figures off polishing turds that feature characters she doesn't own

Are you honestly surprised?

>>2008197
Does anyone have kr0n's brushes?

I didn't have a problem with Sakimichan before, but now I'm annoyed by her because I'm pretty sure I can't get a critique on my pic because everyone's in this thread.

Sakimichan is basically the "Cute Anime" version of Jeremy mann..

How is anyone surprised that she's popular?..

>>2008199
What's the point when you put a blurry ass filter over them anyway?

>>2008217
There's a lot more technical skill in that painting than in Sakimi's work...

>>2007306
I don't know about doujinshi, but there was a popular duo who made custom Kamen Rider figures for a shit ton of money and then got arrested for copyright infringement and C&D. So you definitely can get arrested for copyrighted works if you're profiting a lot on it.

http://www.jefusion.com/2011/01/custom-sic-utopia-dopant-seized.html

>>2005297
No that's Twilight Sparkle

>>2008217
where can I get a print of that...
I want that...

>>2008282
That's a completely different case. They took an already existing mass-produced toy figure, modified it and sold it. This would be akin to Sakimichan copy-pasting a painting of another artist, making a few minor adjustments, a little paintover on top of it and then selling prints of that. That would indeed be illegal.

>>2007365
I agree with this. I think Artgerm has a solid history and skill set behind him, whereas Sakimi still has a lot of foundation work she should review.
I've been following Sakimi since she first started on DA and I prefer her older stuff.
I really hate DA now for multiple reasons, the amount of shit art on there, the constant spotlight they have on the same repetitive artists....eh...I admire how much money sakimi makes, but I just wish she'd go back to her original designs and less fanart, even if that's where her money is at.

Sometimes i wonder if sakimi is enjoying drawing mass amounts of fan art. Or she simply wants the please her fans.

200 fan art pics later, is she till going to enjoy it?

If she stops, will her fans suddenly be displeased and complain, and just keep requesting her to do fan art?

Time will tell.

>>2008447
Honestly, I'd still pick her dayjob over any other that exists. There are worse things to do for that kind of money.

>>2008447
It's literally homework for 10k.

I'd take that job. I'd be happy.

>>2008199
Check his twitter or patreon. I lost the link. He use Mullins + hand made brushes

>>2008448
But why make that your day job when you dont even have to. You might not make AS MUCH money, but you sure will enjoy drawing more.

>>2008447
Even so, with the amount she's making she could save up a lot of cash to live modestly without working for a while

>>2008447
All I draw is fanart anyway, if I made half of what she makes doing it I'd be happy as fuck.

>>2005535
hi argie

>>2008447
If she keeps up with this pace, she's gonna burn out by the end of the year. No doubt.

That or run out of characters to do fanarts of. Or she can just resort to the lazy approach, gender bent or nude versions of these paintings.

Either way she's going to hit a dead end.

>>2007164

You do know that breasts are never symmetrical naturally, right? I wish I could say I see something wrong with it... but assuming those are natural, they are kind of falling the way natural breasts would when combined with movement.

They go up, they go down, they look kind of funny. She should've have drawn the whole body so that the idea of sudden movement would be more apparent.

I can see why she drew them that way. They don't just sit there like huge balloons. Tits are kind of ugly when you jump around.

And the left one, if natural, would in that pose sink back and slightly into the underarm area.

>>2008282
>>2007306

Original art is fine. Hold on, let me get the rules... it is very complicated. Technically, what she is doing is completely legal...

Technically, as long as the artists isn't receiving money for replications of art of a copyrighted character, printed material, then can't get in trouble...

The figures were a problem because of the material. Now, prints of a copyrighted character are technically illegal.

>>2008835
Nigga shut the fuck up.
Sakimi clearly doesn't have big boobs and has never studied them because that harsh cut inwards with no attention to the chunk of fat being attached and thus resting on her body is so completely wrong.

>>2008842

Most large boobs suffer from pseudoptosis assuming their aren't simply saggy. Yes, the fat there would hang slightly down.

She's looked at a reference of a women in movement with larger breasts.

I'm not saying that they aren't ugly and women should be drawn with pretty breasts.

But they are doing what they are suppose to without a bra.

I see what your saying now that you pointed it out.

That part should've been rendered more. It does stick out since the shadows are off.

It should have been shaded darker like the other underboob in that particular spot. Light doesn't hit there.

>>2008849
No nigger. There's no sagging. There's no movement. You're making shit up to defend her. Goddamn cuck.

>>2008849
Look, as a woman who's lived with a family of women and had plenty female friends, in addition to having done plenty life drawing and looked at my fair share of photo reference, that boob doesn't look right. I'm not the anon you were talking to, I'm not necessarily saying I could do better cuz boobs are hard, and I'm not even someone who hates on Sakimi, I think her art is fairly good but I don't like some of her style choices. In this one instance though, I have to say that boob is wrong. I'd go as far as to say they both are because the nipples are way higher than they should be.

>>2008860
I'm looking at the silhouette of them... and looking at my own posed like that.

>>2008867
Then you're not observing carefully enough. The top half of that boob is drawn as if it's supported by a padded bra or bustier, and the bottom half is drawn as if hanging loose. If she wanted to make them look perky that'd be fine, but for the nipple to be raised as much as it is, the flesh under it needs to look more solid, so it should be tapering in more with more tension pulling at the bottom part of the base where it connects to the chest. Other wise, it should be all around flatter or at least have the nipple pointing more downward as it should.

>>2008860
>Look, as a woman

Suddenly these threads make so much sense. Sakimichan is a cute asian girl in her mid-20s, making half a million $ a year. /ic/ is full of bitter female wannabe artists. Add 2 and 2 together and I finally understand /ic/'s obsession and anger towards this girl..

>>2008880
Uh no, clearly you didn't read my comment. I said I like her art, except for a few of her stylistic choices. The two other times I've posted in a thread about her were both to say that now that I'm trying to learn digital painting, I have a lot of respect for her being able to polish so well and pump these pictures out. She may have her method but that doesn't mean it didn't take time and effort. Besides that, the anon I'm talking to is a woman who was speaking in support of her too. But I still think that boob is a little misshapen.
So don't make me into your strawman.

Its being bumped by sakmi shills.

I'm not even mad - it works, and she gets more popular and gets more money with each passing day.

When I git gud, I'm going to hire a kid to shill for me on 4chins/social media as well. Sadly, my shill won't be as effective because a girl artist can make a horny boy do anything - all I can offer is money, really.
