/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

My personal favorite /ic/ meme is "angry toad" he's really angry

Gondola got some attention as well as the space marine

>>2459261
>No one has posted the grandaddy of /ic/ memes

>>2459261
merc_wip.jpg was born here, lately the spark had some attention too

>>2460073
What's wrong with it?

>>2459261
>the spark
>Merc_Wip.jpg
>needs more loomis
thats about it, we a slow board

>>2460147
>>needs more loomis
how could I have forgot of this one
also:
>not gonna make it

>>2460150
>>not gonna make it
but now that I think again, it's used here a lot, but might not be from here

>>2460152
now i remembered another one
>(pls be) week one

>>2460123
It's lost most of its meaning, but I pulled this from the archive.

>>2460158
"Show your work" is the response to asinine "HURR YOUR DRAWING IS SHIT", not actual measured critiques. I'm always fair with my critiques and I've never had a single person say "show your work" after I'd critiqued them because I'm not going out of my way to be an asshole making flippant vague negative statements about other people's art to troll them.

>>2460158
>It's lost most of its meaning
explain? merc_wip.jpg hasn't change meaning from it's creation as far as I know

weebs get extremely butthurt when the yellow trolls are posted. They are considered an automatic banned when posted.

>>2459261
>blog?

Teal line guy aka TLG aka Simon

>>2460152
I think that is a /fit/ thing, we just reworked it.

>>2460073
still better than 90% of /ic/

>>2459261
SYMBOL DRAWING

>>2459261
is that feng zhu's?

>The Fundamentals
/ic/ still gets this wrong.
>Draw what you see, not what you think you see
That kind of bullshit started here.

>jelly

>>2460073
Mind explaining to a newfag what this one is about ? I see it everywhere.

>p-post lewds
>p-post loli s
>please show us sempia
>jani-sempia
>jani-kun
>art feels

and lets not forget the I'm-quitting-art-you-guys-so-give-me-attention weekly thread.

>>2460424
It's a meme used as a covert signal for homosexuals on /ic/. You post it to let others know that you're looking for someone to "practice" the fundamentals with. You're suppose to hide your contact info in the meta-data in order to hookup.

>>2460450
So the guys meeting are those everyone calls "OP" ? I heard they're huge faggots.

>>2460419
bait

>>2460466
I'm not joking.

The orginal artist was some guy who posted about being depressed because a potential game studio passed him up for being openly gay. Unfortunately he wasn't able to prove it. (Thier loss if you aske me)

At the same time in another thread he got into an arguement with some autist about how /ic/ critiques. He started getting the threads mixed up and everyone figured it out. Shitposting galore.

Well, some how the discussions became about hooking up and someone posted the pic saying to open it to find them, hint hint.

And that was how the meme was born.

I remember one about a guy with a baseball and his girlfriend.

>>2460502
Seems plausible enough.

>>2460518
you have no idea how difficult it is to be gay in the game art community, believe me.

>>2460529
Then why not just pretend to be straight.

>better/worse than 90% of this board
is my favorite meme
idk how everyone settled on 90% but it's funny everytime.

blog

>>2460424
I don't know the story but he still browses /ic/ keep asking and maybe he'll tell you himself.

>>2460152
That's because its a /fit/ meme

>>2460073
>grandaddy of /ic/memes

hello there newfriend, let me present you main dude.

he's missing the spark

>>2460824
Nah I'm not new, I just don't have that one saved

The other good one is the cinnamon roll snake girl or whatever.

>>2460529
that seems like the opposite would be true when taking into account how many devs are forcing "progressive ideals" into their games now

Holy shit, dude, I loved Deathelm's threads.
What happened to the guy?

>nobody remembers Dave

>>2461008
>leg deltoid
>leg bicep
>leg forearm

imaginative variations upon the spark, "not gonna make it", "better than XX% of /ic/" and loomis memes are my favorites, also LAS memes, while rarer and more situational outside of LAS threads, are a joy when executed well

>>2461030
>mfw I started the better than 90% of /ic/ meme

>>2461030
>>2461035
It's not a meme when you're the only one doing it, Malaysia.

Doesn't anyone remember Birkhead?

>>2460332
I feel kinda responsible for this
Every time i commented "symbol drawing" to someone's work, is because there were so much wrongs things with, and too much fundamentals the anon is lacking
So the basic thing that person could work on to improve it's his observational skills
So replying symbol drawing is just a lazy comment
But there is a wonderful image someone created which explain how draw without symbols
Would pos, but im at work

>>2461106
Post later please

>>2461083
how could I fucking forget

how come there's no mention of this yet? come on /ic/

>>2460964
can someone post caps of the cinnamon poo thread

>>2461135
it's a dying meme because of the time and skill required to pull off

>>2461208

>Did you use ref or draw from immigration?

>>2461129

>>2461353
This is embarrassing to read.

>>2461131
moar pls

>>2461353
whats meme about this?

seems like decent advice

If you want fresh /ic/ memes just go to the LAS threads

>TOMORROW I SWEAR
>What should I draw today
>Cocks in my _____
>Flawless 19
>Loomis the murderer
>Lava lemur
>Cyberpunk helmet

>>2461390

>>2461398
nah i can tell half of those memes aren't gonna last a month t.b.h f.a.m

>>2461412
Some of them have lasted more than a month already. But you know what they say, start a lot, finish well. The memes who survive are gonna be real fuckin dank

>>2461400
is it because of the writing or is it just traced bait?

>>2461372
this too, doesnt seem too bad

FEEL IT

Someone post the OP'S EYES ONLY THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND

I love all of the variations of merc_wip

>>2461453
My favorite is prehistoric merc_wip. That thread was glorious

>pls be week one

can someone explain this meme to me? is it from LAS?

>>2460529
It sounds ridiculously easy.

>>2460529
Just stop sucking dicks, faggot

>>2460158
"Show you work" is a kneejerk reaction to shitty criticism. The kind that goes "wow holy shit that looks terrible" and offers nothing of value.

I've never seen anyone react badly to someone who actually takes the time to explain to the artist what they did wrong.

>>2461512
Every now and then some fucker on the LAS threads says he's out of motivation and wants to quit, and the competition splits itself up between weeks (1st week = competition 1, 4th week equals competition 4 so everyone's like
>Plz be week one
Because it means the number of people competing in the week one competition on LAS will grow smaller

Water is wet
grass is green

>>2464587
is that from here?

>>2464587
We all are.

>>2460984
OP here. I used a Deathelm painting for this thread to see if anyone would talk about him.

I would consider Deathelm to be something of an /ic/ meme. He was a very funny personality and trolls would often use his name to create more drama on here. His character was basically some angry dude who wants to be a concept artist that doesn't take feedback well, and sometimes rages with multiple posts in a row that would always end up straying from whatever topic and focusing on drama about his girlfriend.

His artwork was allways WWII or alternate history future WWII and you would wonder whether or not he really loved Nazi germany.

That's basically what i can remember about him.

>>2464879
that thread is painful to read

>>2459261
loomis,
Merc_Wip.jpg,

>>2461456

>>2465358

>>2464879

>>2465847
I was there, and I did post, don't remember which joke was mine tho

>>2465884
Rover is a living meme from LAS.

>>2465285

I made a U WOT M8 out of a Benjamin Bjorklund painting once that was reposted a few times, I even saw it on /v/ once

>gid gud

>>2467728

>>2467797
