/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

My name is [redacted] I work for Ididian Containment as a low level security officer. To pass the time I've been making these journals during shifts, little sketches of what I see here every night.

If you are reading this, something has happened to me...
And you are in grave danger.
Journal 13

So this little guy is Contained #89, apparently he is one of our oldest contained. Caught in 1992 in [redacted] by a descendant of the monster hunter [redacted] [redacted], one of our earliest agents. So what I can gather from the files I read on him he is ranked a 4 danger level (out of 5, 5 being the highest), and is well over 2,345 years old. Contained #89 I incredibly fast and dangerous, is fed one pig a week, but it prefers to feed on the internal organs of virgin, catholic females. For this reason it is only to be fed by male atheists, and only on Sundays as per [redacted] customs.

Contained #89 is highly susceptible to light and is kept in a pitch black cell with no lights. However his cell is suspended above a spotlight emitting UV rays. Even if he were to escape the cell he would immediately be trapped by the light.

While light has shown to hurt it severely, no known method of eradication has been found. Methods tried so far include, decapitation, gunfire, burning, stabbing, [redacted], exorcism, [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], baptism, [redacted], holy water, [redacted], silver stakes, [redacted],starvation, and [redacted].

So far contained #89 is just kept confined to keep it from attacking the general populace.

240 and counting...

AND HE MADE ANOTHER THREAD. HOLY FUCK
This is the kind of shit that gets you banned, too bad there are no mods around here

>>2859949
i think his thread got spammed by that guy posting a bunch of pokemon stuff and auto sagged it, so he started another...

just hide and move on

>>2859951
This whole board is flooded with stuff like this. No one cares about him, he should stay in his shitty thread

>>2859951
I wonder how someone can garner so much hatred for someone like OP.
I've seen a couple of his threads and it's always innofensive average art that never gets in the way of browsing the board.
It's almost like OP personally crossed some psycho in the past. Like a schizo ex-girlfriend.

>>2859968
Fuck you, op

>>2859968

Go away you fuck.

>>2859999
>>2860002
Proving my point, I see.

>>2860019
I think people don't like having you around because you come off as an arrogant douche posting in your own thread. People wouldn't hate you so much if you just posted in the drawthread or stylisation thread

>>2860021
I'm not OP, just a passerby pointing at the pathological level of butthurt displayed in the last days.
It's like someone snapped at home and is trying to take it out on /ic/. And I mean the board, not OP, because if you think those hate posts are helping this place, you need to reevaluate your views.

>>2859941
Stop shilling your shitty art/novel Op

does this mean we can just spam this thread so it can sage?

the mods don't seem to want to do anything about this guy

why does this board not even really have mods? i know for a fact there's been some janitor applications sent in.

op should post in the appropriate threads

why does op keep making these threads? he can't be getting followers, no one here likes him

maybe he's actually autistic?

why not just post your shit on facebook so your mommy can give you the likes you crave?

too bad we have a piss and moan thread otherwise we could just hijack this one and turn it into that

we can still probably turn this thread into something if other people replied
"/ic/'s worst artists?"

has there ever been any apparent desperate plea for mods until this guy showed up

if this board has no mods, why has it not been overrun by ponyfags yet?

i'll keep doing my civic duty in turning this thread into shit later unless someone else wants to image dump shit

even if i get my own ip banned just so someone realizes we need fucking mods that's fine too

otherwise we should just keep dumbing hardcore porn gifs into this thread everytime this guy tries to start another

i wonder how many threads op will try to make before it floods the catalog

op thinks i ain't gonna flood this thread, my job is literally wait for people at a door and buzz them in. i got time.

tomorrow i'll be sure to bring my laptop and image dump the fuck out of this thread. it'll be a great use of my waiting time.

does op think drawing once a day is impressive? what do you think i'm doing everytime i'm waiting for my 12 hour shift to end? i just doodle on lined paper, man. don't need an autistic thread to myself about it.

and if op tries to make more threads, i'll just keep dumping in those, too. i probably have the most wasted time of anyone on this board, but at least i'm making money sitting here. its either this or marathon something on netflix. or both.

and if the guy gets fucking pissed someone spammed up his thread, now you get it about the fucking board as a whole. no one likes your threads.

>>2859968
A lot of people hate him because he's literally the only one that makes these shitty threads, sure you see a new artist make a thread for critiques every now and then but they only make ONE. They don't spam this board whenever their thread dies with a new one.

Jezz just let the guy be, /ic/ is slow af and he's putting the hours to git gud, I wish I could say the same about some of you

>>2860517
ONE of his threads can last months, but you choose to shitpost them to oblivion, so he has to make more.
Just hide it and channel that hatred towards something productive like actually drawing.

>>2860509
>>2860512
>>2860516
Lol, you're as pathetic as the cyarin apologist in the other thread.

>>2860577
>but you choose to shitpost them to oblivion, so he has to make more.

this is my second time posting in one of his threads, the first was 5 months ago when he started.

>Just hide it and channel that hatred towards something productive like actually drawing.

I wouldn't be productive if I was filled with hate while drawing.

>>2860581
hi op

>>2860577
he doesn't have to make shit, he can just post in the beginner thread

>>2860577
>Just hide it and channel that hatred towards something productive like actually drawing.
what if i am productive and this is my break time? and i love spamming in shit threads during my break? should i not be allowed to enjoy that if op enjoys not following the rules himself?

>>2860566
whats up op
>assuming everyone's skill level in this thread in one fell swoop

tracing frazetta and tweaking his poses doesn't make you good

>>2860581
i'm doing the duty /ic/ won't do itself and saging this thread with all my might

what are you doing to help contribute to this board

>>2860623
I'm bumping to see the butthurt flow, since it's quite entertaining seeing a couple of losers sperging.

>>2860635
bump the shit out of it, keep posting, let's hit that fucking 300 bump limit
i don't care if you think i'm a buttblasted fag as long as you ad to the post count
reality shows are only as dumb as their audience

also how do you bump a thread that was already on page 1?

>>2860620
Not OP, I just know how it feels to get shit from you guys despite trying my best.

>>2860650
i guess your best wasnt good enough

>>2860642
250 to go then.
>>2860646
By bumping it above the other threads on page 1, dumbo.

also
>wanting positive re-enforcement from /ic/

go to deviantart and submit to clubs if you just want back pats

not a 4chan board with no mods

>>2860655
bumping is for threads that are at least on page 7 or more

>>2860654
Maybe but you're talking about the board that will talk shit about artists like Ruan Jia. tbqh I'm not looking to get a pat in the back for my effort but at least I try to respect the effort of others by being civil and giving critique on the few things I know for sure. it's a shame a considerable amount of people here will just try to be an ass just for the sake of it

why is it always low skills there make their own thread

>>2860661
you are on
a board
that's on 4chan
where everyone is anonymous
that has no mods

is this your first time on the internet? of course everyone is going to be an asshole

>>2860659
You clearly, don't know how things work here.
And up your game, we didn't even breach the 100 post mark yet. At this point OP will be able to post another month worth of drawings, kek.

>>2860663
Because high skilled people know better than to post on a modless, shitpost infested board.

>>2860670
>And up your game, we didn't even breach the 100 post mark yet.
i plan on taking a break and getting a bunch of the tick storytimes on my laptop for tomorrow and dumping them in this guy's threads

>>2859968
>>2860033
>>2860577
It's the principle that pisses people off.
/ic/ is a board for art improvement and criticism, not your personal art blog.
Once you get some constructive criticism, you shouldn't post more drawings without fixing the previous mistakes. If you make your own thread, you better have a reason, a specific question that deserves to be addressed, not just "What do you think about my work?"

>>2860650
>>2860661
The board is anonymous, it's impossible for the criticism to be personal, so why take it personally, hm?

>>2860664
>>2860676
Fair enough it's your choice, I just think it is non-productive besides I am way beyond the point of being desensitized, I just feel for those of us who are putting their earnest effort, dropping their egos, having to deal with IRL bs and coming here to find more bs

it almost feel like crab mentality. Anyway, I will keep trying to make my part to make this place a bit better by actually posting work and honest but helpful critiques, have being doing since 2012 and plan to keep doing it until a better alternative comes around

>>2860701
>it almost feel like crab mentality
>almost
No, anon. It IS full blown crab mentality.
All I have to tell you for now is to ignore these cases and moving on about your stuff around here.
Hopefully this board gets some mods one day, or is deleted for good.
Godspeed, sensible anon. You're a rare site these days.

>>2860670
>it turns green
Is that how you're supposed to do it, kek. I just do a general area rectangle.

bump

>mfw my main man Mr. Universe Mandingo Dick Mike waits out this butthurt idiot's spam and unceremoniously makes yet another thread after the bumplock, expending absolutely no effort in the process while this loser wastes his entire Valentine's day protest posting a thread that isn't even close to being against the rules

LMAO

>>2861132
i'm sharing my love of drawing by dumping a pretty useful art book

>>2861132
literally would be no different if i dumped it here or made another thread for one

>>2861132
unless you think reference threads are also sad

>>2861132
>while this loser wastes his entire Valentine's day
And why are you on /ic/ right now m8 instead of on a hot date?

>>2861136
>>2861137
>>2861139

No one's buying it bro. See you next thread! You sure showed him, spending 40 minutes of your time flooding one of his easily replaceable threads lol

Reminder: >>2861132

>>2861161
I'm at work. I get paid to post here.

>>2861175
where do you think i'm at?

>>2860509
same guy. started at noon. got someone to drop off my laptop. will be here another 4 hours.

>>2861136
>>2861137
>>2861139
Ay yo, thanks man. This book seems good, I read the first pages and those words pretty much made my day.

>>2861175
also i ref dump on this board quite often. it's not like i'm scouring the internet looking for things to post, i frequently post shit i like here all the time.

>>2861175
at least this thread has now become useful and i haven't obliterated the other ref thread in the process.

>>2861186
Seems like a lot of effort for some (You)s if you ask me, but by all means carry on

>>2861136
This makes me want to take some life drawing classes.
>>2861132
>thread that isn't even close to being against the rules
Fuck off Op, we've been over this. Spamming/advertising your work is against the rules. You already know what threads you should be posting in. Of course you wouldn't get quite as much attention that way

>>2861202
Nice dump but you're only giving Op what he wants. Just report and hide the thread

>>2861211
may as well finish the book

>>2861214
Yeah please do! I wasn't able to find it with a reverse image search

Good job shitposter anon. Let's clean up this garbage board one thread at a time. Just know if faggot OP makes another thread, I got yo back with the educational shitposting.

i'm gonna stop posting for now, at least if OP keeps posting in this thread, the majority of it is useful to more than a single person who thinks this is his blog.

and at least OP will probably still post in this thread and keep these refs around for anyone who needs them for awhile

>>2861195
I'm not OP. I'm just a passerby. This guy is well on his way to wasting an entire hour of his life uploading a book page by page, probably even through captcha, all to "spite" Mike by forcing him to write up another sentence-long thread. It's hilarious

>against the rules

This thread isn't against the rules, but you're right, spamming is. This guy posting Mike Mattesi's copywritten material should be reported for his own good.

>probably even through captcha
nah
4chan pass
only wait 10 second increments when posting images on /ic/, no captcha
i told you, i post ref shit a lot on this board

>>2861266
>says he posts ref shit a lot
>i keep a 24/7 watch on the board
Fucking liar. No you don't.

>>2861266
How about instead of worrying about spoonfeeding refs to your ostensible competition or trolling some goofball's 1 thread out of another 150 in rotation that you happen to not like you go draw my dude? From one procrastinator to another let me tell you that I know what you're doing and you'd be way better off leaving well enough alone than being emotionally invested in the "quality" or lack thereof of this board. Mike is a good keeid, he dindu nuffin'

>>2861283
i don't dump 200+ images in single threads because that shit would ruin them in a fucking heartbeat

i do like ten max in a thread

>>2861288
hi op

>>2861289
those were great, thank you so much!!! they really helped

My name is [redacted] I work for Ididian Containment as a low level security officer. To pass the time I've been making these journals during shifts, little sketches of what I see here every night.

If you are reading this, something has happened to me...
And you are in grave danger.
Journal 14
So this little beauty is something I had a lot of trouble drawing, let me explain…
See, Contained #29 is a 5th dimensional virus, with unique properties even the eggheads upstairs don’t fully understand. These strange properties cause it to constantly change shape; to date it has taken almost 2,204,185,613,215 forms. The only thing common in all of these manifestations are the constantly rotating teeth.
Uncontained the virus multiplies by consuming matter into its mouth (which as far as we can tell is a localized black hole), and thus the newly created creature continues the process. The practice continues until (am I reading this right?) the entire dimension is consumed…

To date Contained #29 has consumed over [redacted] dimensions. This one was caught manifesting in this dimension getting ready to begin the process before it was subdued and captured. It is fed one pig daily with large amounts of is [redacted] to keep it sedated and from starting the consuming process.

To date no known method of destruction has been found…

Finding one is of top priority to the Ididian incorporation; if only to have a defense measure for when more inevitably arrive.

It is for this reason it has been classified a 5 danger level (out of 5, 5 being the highest).

>>2861586
Whenever you add that wall of text, makes your images seem more autistic than they actually are. Like I'm reading someone's Sonic OC description.

>>2861205
>Two fat fucks who can't even fit under a table umbrella together

I'm going to guess he's in America when he sketched this.

>>2861586
Stop rushing your inking process, Mike.

T b h the only worthwile thing this thread has are all the references

>>2862152
Why is this still here

>>2861708
that makes sense, ill stop posting them
>>2861709
yeah lol
>>2861762
yeah youre right, tried to slow down a bit more with this one

Here's some advice, stop posting here and post in:
>>2868383

>>2868383

>>2868383

>>2868383
Five people are telling you now and if you don't follow it, you're admitting you just want to spam your art and not listen to advice.

>>2868869
thats not five different people thats you posting over and over again pretending to be multiple accounts... its called reading the time stamps

also i have taken all the advice giving and used it, please show me an example gave me on advice and i ignored it... also your begginner thread ignored me and never gave me any help when i asked. i waited 3 days on one image and was ignored, i tried again, ignored again for worse off artists. hence i started this.

Also it is not spam as i am taking the advice given here to change my art for the better. I listen to everything you guys say and apply it.

also why isnt anyone ragging against the countless other troll threads and hate threads i see on a daily basis that never have any art or are looking for criticism or trying to improve

so 1. not advertising, cause ive never giving any social media or links to my gallery
2. not spam cause im posting new work to get advice on and see what i should improve. Spam would be just post ing random art and shit ignoring everything... which i have clearly not done.

>>2869707
>thats you posting over and over again pretending to be multiple accounts... its called reading the time stamps
Nigger do you even know what bumping is? Honestly, fuck off. If anyone, you're the one who's been trolling all along, spamming this shithole with your threads. There literally were 3 (three) fucking threads you made at once at one point, filled with your garbage. If it wasn't for absence of mods on this board, you'd be banned the day 1.
>Also it is not spam as i am taking the advice given here to change my art for the better. I listen to everything you guys say and apply it.
But noone's giving you any advice? Seriously, scroll through this and the other thread that's still up and read it all. What do you see? Noone gives a fuck about the shit you post, all it does is piss people off. That's the definition of trolling. Take my advice, and go on dA or make a blog on tumblr if all you want is attention.
Because you ignored all the beg and draw threads.

>>2869714
dude, someone is stealing my art and posting it all the time calming to be me, im not posting multiple threads and posts, people are pretending to be me and im reporting them, hence why those keep getting removed.

Man, this guy will never learn

>>2869707
I've given you advice multiple times, telling that you use a style that makes it hard to critique because it covers up your weaknesses and it's very stylized. I've told you to try more realism and other stuff like that, but you never listen. Nobody is ragging on the troll threads because those are usually gone within an hour, your shit has been near constant.

>>2869707
Confirmed for spam.

Your advice was to stop posting here and post in Beginner Thread. You refuse, you're outting yourself as spam.

Also:
>thats not five different people thats you posting over and over again pretending to be multiple accounts...
This level of delusion.

>>2869707
>its called reading the time stamps

POST HERE.
>>2868383

>>2868383

>>2868383

>>2868383

>>2868383

This is the only advice you are getting. You are not following it, so it's bullshit when you say you follow everyone's advice.

>>2869707
>i have taken all the advice giving and used it
No you haven't, there's been no improvement at all from last three threads you made. In fact it seems like you've regressed a bit. Just because you respond to every single comment don't mean you're taking advice. Go shill your shit someone else. No one wants to see you advertising yourself

>>2869783
guess i wont

>>2869804
guess ill just keep being shit sorry i disappointed ya

>>2869920
Level of delusion indeed, now watch this drive


>>2870220
sorry that is nt advice as it ddosent comment on the art at hand just shifting the goal post to another thread which ive already tried and doesn't help

>>2870315
sorry you feel that way, care to elaborate how you feel i have regressed in your opinion?

also may i ask how i am shilling or advertising myself. as you can see there is no personal info or advertising ive ever posted chief

>>2870933
Whoa, what an asshole

>>2870933
Piece of shit.

>>2870933
>just shifting the goal post
You don't know what the fuck that means, do you?
