You can post literally anything, from lolicon to scat to guro, and everything in between. You don't even have to censor it if you're not Japanese yourself.
Its layout is also better than, well, pretty much any other website for sharing art, except maybe e-hentai if you want to upload directly to that.
The downside is that you need an account to view content on it, and most westerners don't know about it so it's a bad platform for getting your NSFW "out there"

>> No.2656911

>>2656899
so this is the artist you would say you're better than? Because that's a really low bar

Sometimes it's not always how good you are, but the "charm" of your work as well. There are many images that showcase great skill but little value in terms of appeal.

The image you showcased is bad but it's also very cutesey, simple, easy to understand and consume and most of all something that young artists would want to relate with and aspire towards.

So if you want to become known on your merits alone and not by pandering you have to be very, very, VERY good. And you have to post more than once a year.

However, there's nothing wrong with a little pandering if it's pandering that you yourself enjoy. If you wanna pay homage to a favorite video game or artist or cartoon movie whatever, do it. Just try not to get too upset when suddenly everyone notices you for that.

Not sure what you meant by that, but thanks for the advice. Also can you reiterate what you meant by my line art being shit? If you were referring to how it drastically changes in weight at times (particularly in june and july) that was the intended effect, I wanted to make it look sort of dynamic.

It is. Reminds me of the ed edd and eddy lineart, but while there it is kind of impressive because there is no still frame, it doesn't work with a static pic like yours.
>I don't see a lot of problems with my recent work
You are right, they look too stylized to critique it objectively, but I think there are elements that you could trhow at it to make them look better, and I think >>2656895 is one of the references you used.
tl;dr: There are elements that could make the pic closer to the references you are using.
Unfortunately I don't have references for that shinny stuff you are going (jojo manga art maybe?), and for better looking monsters there are so fucking many to choose from (my favorite monster references come from yu gi oh tho)

Also use that color wheel link I gave you. I did mean it when I said that you had something interesting going for the colors, and it can only help you. (pic related, it also has app versions)

Do any other creators here feel the same way? Maybe not as huge, obviously, but do you think about interacting with your future fanbase and how your work could positively impact thousands to millions of people?

I want to create something that lots of people can enjoy, something that can really affect an audience with a sense of wonder and excitement. At the same time, I imagine myself replying to internet questions or doing panels at conventions.

Am I a narcissist? Realistically, I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I don't know how to keep my expectations realistic when I have so much enthusiasm for my concept. At the same time, I feel like that stereotype of a snobby artist who thinks he's the next Picasso when he's a douche with little skill.

Sorry for the blog-post.

And yes, you will never get past two notes if you don't draw anything fandom. And god forgives you if you draw any rule 34 or draw any character slightly different (taller, thinnier "whiter"...).

Most artists (good or bad) have an amazing/intricate 'world' concept. I'm sure you're close to learning that, regardless of the greatness of the idea, unless you can back it up with skill (in writing or art), no one cares.

I have had friends approach me with 'great' game ideas accompanied with dozens of written pages. They honestly think that they've done the hard/genius work and all i have to do is spend the next several years of my life creating the entire thing and they are willing to give me a percentage of their earnings.

IMO good art is more important than a good idea. On deviant art I often see a crummy character sketch accompanied by a 3 paragraph bio of their skills/personality etc.

In comparison, check out an IP like Dave Rapoza's Starveil. Nothing written, just incredible artwork. I believe he's actually had studios offer to buy his IP for possible future development.

In short: Improve your skills or no one will care about your idea. I've been in the same spot as you so I hope this helps

I have a acquaintance who just had a debutation with his first novel approach me for the possibility of turning the script into a graphic novel. I was initially interested since he agreed that this would be a paid commission. However, it quickly turned out that by "paid" he meant shared profit (if it even got published) and he assumed I would be thrilled to work on a few "sample pages" for free even though I explained it would take me literally weeks of full time work. Pretty incredible.

depends on the influence, I use to be quit good at drawing stuff around me just by looking at it and eye measuring without having somebody to actually teach me, but just draw along side him and looking at what he does

then when he left and I started going to school again, where everybody was symbol drawing or painting by grinds, I regressed

Would you say that if someone went through school not learning to read or write well? No, the blame is put on teachers because teachers are expected to teach these things, being integral for a modern society as they are. Having one long string of shit art teachers is a curse many have experienced, and is the root cause of society where "anyone can learn to draw" but few do.

>Still furious at my faggot teachers who didn't bother to teach me Loomis
You and me both brother. If there's a means to improving art education it starts with a textbook that apes Loomis, Keys to Drawing, and Perspective Made Easy. Progressively more advanced texts the same you'd get in Math. But a curriculum that teaches people to draw is priority second to a curriculum that socializes young students on all the great gay, female, and negro artists there've been. Not long it's a Jewish conspiracy or anything though ;^)

You're a narcissist and a pleb if you idolize JK and Lucas. I'm not even a big pretentious /lit/-tier faggot, but HP and Star Wars are both simplistic kiddie shit and only worth consideration for what aspects of them resonated with the interests of the mainstream audience at the times they were released.

Narcissistic autists with big dreams who daydream about their future successes are very common. I'm one of them.

starting at $40 and going to gradually raise them to $80-100+ depending on how things go.

I've only taken 5 so far, current one is $65.

Its not a lot (especially considering I'm going to be doing a series of illustrations for $500, but payout isn't for a while. Hence furry BS cause I need money right now for medical bills and food)
but these really dont take that long (3-5 max hours probably).
I could easily do at least 1 a day and still work on real art which is what I've been doing.

I'm satisfied with this situation for the time being.

>>2659716
the thing about furries is that at least 1/3 of them do nothing but compulsively commission artists. if you're even a tiny bit decent you'll get money.
it might just suck out your soul if you hate it tho

I am basically whoring myself out to furries and letting them fuck me dry at the moment.
I wouldn't recommend it to most people and this is definitely temporary.

How long you have been drawing alone doesn't mean shit, how you have been practicing means. If you have been drawing /ic/ style way since 15 years old, you should be very good by now.

I could say I have drawn since forever, but it was bullshit drawing. No practicing fundies, no nothing. Just bullshit. Needless to say as 19 years old I fucking suck. I don't even count my past drawing experience, might as well just say I have never drawn because now that I'm going to start practicing for real, I'm pretty much at the same boat as someone who has never drawn before. In fact maybe even worse, because I probably have picked some shitty habits from my bullshit drawing ''experience''.

Yeah, this is helping me a lot. Thanks. There's a difference between saying "you should work on x" and just saying "it's shit." Ya know what fuck it, and fuck you. I always practice and study on the side, but in the meantime I'm not gonna stop drawing fun shit. Fuck you. This is why /ic/ is cancerous. You saps shame people into not drawing anything at all because you're salty over your own suckiness, you want people just doing studies and nothing else, and no wonder their creativity crashes. /ic/ has a toxic paradigm in the recent years.

That's the beauty of making it, only the strong survive. Develop a thick skin now or just quit now while you're ahead.

Or if you prefer go find yourself a hugbox like facebook or DA and forever remain mediocre, this is the case where ignorance is truly bliss.

I mean my art's not great but I don't go off like it's the bee's knees when I have a lot of studying to do.

In general, a lot of kids in art schools, especially ones that accept almost anyone (it's a decent school just you find a lot of kids who aren't serious) tend to stroke their own egos too much when they're pretty awful at what they do. I've only met a handful of other students who's work I feel is the level of an art student. A lot are knda shitty but most have good attitudes about improving and don't toot their own horn too much. I just can't stand the kids that are overly confident in their polished turds

I'm starting college again at the same age and it feels kind of weird not majoring in art and having to pass all the students in their section of the school. It made me realize that there are a shitton of people majoring in art and almost none of them actually make it.

Quit fucking comparing yourselves to others.
If you had stayed surrounded by people who weren't as good as you so you can feel good about yourselves, forget about improving, you would have never been good enough to hire by anyone.

Improvement isn't magic. You can't force it to happen and it doesn't come magically. You must not be putting your work where you should. I'm gonna be prejudiced and assume that you're both too insecure and are:
a) scared to leave your comfort zones.
b) feel like shit when you leave your comfort zones because your art looks like shit there.

Look, man. The sooner you stop thinking about having to prove something or how "good" or "bad" you might be, and start instead to just draw and draw for the sake of drawing, you'll start to improve faster.

I feel you. One of the motivations for me to draw is to make the most beutiful people yet that no artist has ever made before. Too bad ugly people are the best to practice with, their rough features are ideal for beginners and if you fuck up, it's not much of a downer, they're ugly anyway .

You and me both buddy. Sadly I found there is no solution. Right now I'm trying to make a routine for myself, like I MUST put at least an hour for sketching/gesture every day, just do anything to teach myself to work and slowly add things for learning like life drawing etc. My end goal is for learning to become a natural process of daily life. I know this is pretty far from "spark" meme /ic/ is talking about (while knowing that all those people are in exact same position), but I lived an easy and unchallenged life doing nothing but entertaining myself and now I have to make best of my situation.
