FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?

>The original developer of the site has taken a leave for quite a while, originally due to medical reasons. Progress on the site is almost non-existant at this point. You can try contacting him at @LavaFlake or emailing him at lava@lavaflake.com.

What do we draw?

>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.

What's a low effort warning?

>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.

>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.

What happens if I'm eliminated?

>Your streak will go back to 0 and you will have to start again. No other penalties.

How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?

>There is no week system anymore, instead new users are given "streaks" based on the number of consecutive days you can submit without getting eliminated. (token losses do not reset your streak)

Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?

>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.
there. kick rocks.

Reposting from dying thread:
Anon asked for some of the pixiv users I follow,
so here's an incredibly subjective, not comprehensive list.
The first 30 are ones I probably like a lot (I gave up trying to rank and there are probably trash in the last 60). A lot are to do with a particular style that appeals to me personally or something dumb like they draw a lot of 2hu fanart..

>>2961226
It's always pretty cool to see your shit executed by another lassie. Jump in, i don't want to draw Cath character :^)

how about this?

Everyone submits their characters in 5 days, before the deadline that lassies can book whoever characters which are submitted early they want to redraw.

The rest will be randomized. This is good for those who don't want to draw Cath or rad's characters.

>>2961241
cath and rad's characters had rough lives :(

>>2961241
What's the problem with rad's characters?

>>2961158
I'm thinking about it too
I'm not very original but seeing the same characters in different artstyles is always fun to see. Too bad we're not doing a character from a popular book or something to let imagination run wild

I'm still here.

>>2961235
ru-rude! D:

>>2961150
I find it hard believing there are 5 black lassies.
Some of you are lying.

>>2961265

black lassie here, ama.

>>2961258
And your circles are still god awful. At this point I suggest just printing out a sheet of circles from google and tracing them about a thousand times to cram that shit into muscle memory. Also do box exercises dude, or at least TRY thinking of construction when you doodle. You're not gonna get anywhere drawing like a 5 year old.

>>2961275
A-...Are you a grill?

>>2961277
Ill remember that. I haven't actually some practice for a while and stuff and I need to try and sort out some time to practice more.

>>2961278
yeah, i was wondering if there were other grill black lassies but i think im the only one.

>>2961293
Rozzle was a black girl I think, she uploaded a self-portrait once.
http://lavaflake.com/draw/users/?id=7
I miss her, she was so good.

>>2961297

yeah her stuff does look really good, i hope she makes it. There are so few black girls trying to make it in this industry so it gives me hope to see someone with so much potential!

>>2961241
calling dibs is a bad idea, everyone should get an equal chance at everyone's. if you get a shit character you just gotta make the most of it, since that's half the point of the challenge.

if we all collectively decide to randomize the list that's cool, but then i hope everyone looks at the thread before starting part 2. i think cath should update the rules if we go that way.

I'd be down for the challenge if we did randomise

Cath here, how many people prefer it randomized? Also how would I do it? some online randomizer?

>>2961349
random.org is pretty good for this sort of stuff

>>2961265
I didnt even do the poll, but I am here too

>>2961349
Second this >>2961350. Please.

You already know it, you have to do this:
- Update rules on DED.
- Post results of the randomizer here.
- Post results as your submission.
- Post results in discords.
Otherwise, the most retarded lassos wil not follow.

>>2961367
>Post results in discords.
leave those faggots out, they can stay gone for all I care

>>2961293
Nah, you're not alone.

>>2961187
Holy shit that's a lot of art
Thanks a lot for doing this!

>>2961397
Who are some of yours?

>>2961265
5 niggers*

>>2961413

>>2961361
>>2961414
7, at least

>>2961265
Now there are 7/27 And yesterday there were 70 lassies.
And I'm retarded at math, but that should mean ~16 porch monkeys.

I'm black but I'm not in las anymore but I still voted anyway.

>>2961293
That makes 3 of us, 4 with Rozzle. Huh.

Does your monitor turn itself off in that time? I have to restart the Wacom services if I turn off the monitor my tablet is mapped to.

>>2961630
Congratulations! I hope you keep going :D

>>2961654
Still a shitty name

>>2961658

>>2961659
Keep the LAS name, is cool.

>>2961654
Looking good, man, thanks for doing this. I really hope this comes through

>>2961654
How many people are feasibly going to switch?

>>2961671
I'm going to post on both :'D

>>2961673
Yeah, with how quickly the last alternative went belly-up I'm hedging my bets.

>>2961658
I agree with this
>>2961654

The daily draw doesn't sound badass enough, it sounds like something more akin to girly tumblrs that struggle to draw a 5 minute comic everyday

Make it something like
Draw Every Day
or
Last Artist Standing

This is for real men

>>2961681
Grindraw.

>>2961681
>>2961660
Eh, keeping the Last Artists Standing Name might be confusing and mess up search results. The Daily Draw does sound too cutesy, though, maybe change the name to Sketching Survival or something cooler than what I can come up with.

>>2961654
Looking nice. Gonna be double posting on both LAS and DED. Is DED already up?

>>2961630
Congrats, anon!

Have you checked .com/.net/.org domain availability?

>>2961710
draweveryday.net is available, but .com is not

>>2961714
You should grab it: http://namesilo.com

>>2961706
I...

I have been cutting it close for a while now, and I was just having fun drawing and forgot to post.

I'm having such a cold sweat right now.


I knew this was going to happen at one point.


I'm going to just restart I guess. I think it's time I devote more time to drawing and art in general.

http://www.draw_every_day.godaddy.piczo.org

>>2961714
>>2961715
.org is available too, grab that too cause these things are so dirt cheap, and just redirect whichever one is extra to the main domain is usual practice

>>2961720

>http://namesilo.com
I don't plan on buying anything yet, at least until I know that I can dedicate myself completely to it and have a functioning version of the site. As well school is wrapping up for the year and Ive got to finish things up. Now if there's any good free hosting, id be open to registering and starting to port things over for that for now

>poof's in the tribunal

they didnt post today though. did we scare them away? goddammit poof, all you had to do was post a proper thumbnail.

>>2961723
>free hosting
I dunno how far you can get with that or what catches there'll be with your host, personally I'd at least pay for a cheap VPS or something, but maybe http://www.freewebhostingarea.com/ ?

>>2961735
>http://www.freewebhostingarea.com/
ill try it out, see how it goes

>>2961630
Good job!

>>2961725
poor poof :(

>>2961374
>>2961457
thats good to hear! Im glad!

im guessing we are going to randomize after we post our characters? correct?

>>2961735
got it up on freewha, only the homepage is what I have so far, but will post progress updates over time and leave the link here for you guys to check it out whenever you are curious.

http://draweveryday.ueuo.com/

its gonna happen lads

I wanted to join the character challenge
:^(

since before some of you were talking about using pixiv a lot, you might like this:
https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2

you can use that to download all of an artist's things in one go, so far I've picked up 450 or so. Unfortunately you can't have it automatically update when they post new stuff which sucks a bit, but eh.

I've been binge downloading at a time by going to someone good, seeing who they follow or who it recommends after you follow them, and then pasting the ids separated by spaces and getting it to download them all at the same time.

>>2961760
important question
is any type of art okay?

>>2961785
same rules as las, 'Please refrain from drawing sexual encounters with under age humans ;^)' when i finish the site

>>2961787
I think he may have meant 3D since some people wanted to post it before but it ain't allowed on the OG LAS.

>>2961767
where were you man?

>>2961768
Yep, this program is awesome.

>>2961806
Oh yeah, I'm open to 3D as I've done some modeling before and know how challenging it can be, I'm open to allowing that.

>>2961760
I think the description is too wordy
You should make it far easier to digest
Just have it like

"Draw something everyday and try to reach the highest streak possible!"

>>2961845
sweet!

>>2961849
Alright, I'll come up with something more straightforward, thanks!

>>2961768
mm used this for a few of my favorite artists

>>2961845
That would be great.

I'm awful at both but focusing on one or the other every once in a while couldn't hurt.

Choob

>>2961760
M-My original streak will carry over, r-right?

>>2961872
I understand that a lot of LAS has put in so much time and dedication and might be prone to sticking to the original for this reason, but I'm looking into providing some compensation to all lassies that have held any current streaks

>>2961879
just copy over the leaderboards lol

>>2961883
thats prob what I will end up doing, and maybe give all og lassies a special badge or thing to recognize them for being there before DED

>>2961886
All OG lassies will get a dragon dick badge as it is the #1 priority

>>2961886
Im a day 1 and I'd rather just start fresh

>>2961888
But this would be ok

I look forward to posting 3D as well

>>2961888
you need 1000 submissions didn't we decide?

where's that link to the google doc with all the badge suggestions we made?

>>2961923
Winning a LAS meant winning a Week, so when Week 1 was done whichever Week 1er survived would've won that LAS, and carried over to Week 2.

Thing is, everyone in Week 2 is already dead, and Week 3, and Week 4, and Week 5, and Week 6, and Week 7, and Week 8, and Week 9, and Week 11, and Week 12, and Week 13, and Week 14... and Week 38, and Week 39, etc. basically whoever wins Week 1 wins like 40 weeks and goes directly to fighting the newcomer weeks, except the week system got scrapped so there won't be any more weeks and no more LAS winners.

>>2961942
should there be a time limit if weeks were to carry over? Like after 365 days or X days all survivors declared winners and things continue?

>>2961944
No, and week systems are a thing of the past, ideal would be something that would keep people drawing every day forever but weeks lose bragging value the larger the week number was (everyone talks about week 1, barely anyone talks about week 2, past that no one can name a single person by week without looking them up)

>>2961924
Which W1's browse the discord?

>>2961950

This is what I miss. There was such a massive shitstorm whenever someone got eliminated or whenever something happened. People even used to make predictions of what would happen next + make new memes all the time. Now no one gives a shit. Good times.

>>2962129
Did vsocks really start that? What the fuck? You guys are fucking lying. There's no fucking way.

>>2962130
Idk, I think he did. I only ever saw him post it on las and now a lot of people are posting his work everywhere. Maybe he did fan art or something?

>>2962132
I saw his smug Wendy's reblogged on Tumblr, and before that on the /alt/ thread, and those were the first ones I saw. I think he might really be the patient zero on this one.

I don't think so, I don't check the discord though

Maiq, here.
Finlay, if you don't post a proper character within the 5 days, I'll just skip you and take the next in line. I don't care about the quality of the character, but there's no way I'm doing some random floating Reilly head exercise.

>>2962486

dont you give up either!

Damn, Seffy's furries are pretty cute / cool.

>>2962190
im actually getting squat aside from followers. i didnt have an online shop open or any sort of merch to sell so I screwed myself out of potential money.

I did make a quick $60 just for hosting the PSD on gumroad though. I'll just have to start selling more shit going forward.

I'm really not happy with what I'm producing.

>>2962863
Your sketchs are nice Vusta. Juanjo Guardino told me he is not happy about you turning his drawings into pure cringe nuggets.

WHY CHOOB WHY

h-he was so young!! D':

>>2962893
Thanks - wait wut?

Speaking of Juanjo Guardino, I have mixed feelings about how he draws males vs females. I mean both the design choices are cool in their own way but.. I guess it's that it is meant to be viewed from a male perspective, idk.

>>2962585
thanks ;^)
I'm looking forward to see what the rest of you come up with for characters

>>2962937
Have some respect for the dead you insensitive cuck.

do we have to create a character, or can we just use a pre-existing one we've made?

You have to be retarded to think the opposite. I hope you're trolling my friend.

Surely people like Rover, Stella, JMGN, Anon313, Fmood and a load of others are still around
They may not be in LAS but they're still in /ic/ right? Has anyone seen them post in any other threads or in any of the discords? It doesn't make sense for them to leave /ic/ all together just because they dropped out of LAS

>>2963062
>They may not be in LAS but they're still in /ic/ right?
they have ascended past this shit hole

>>2963062
they graduated, we have a new batch of kids now, like hazel my waifu

>>2963062
>Rover
dude was kinda weird. I don't think he really posted anywhere on /ic/ and he only really got into drawing at the start of LAS. He just fell off all of a sudden tho so I'm not sure what happened to him. I think the lad wanted to be one of the greatest porn artists ever.
>Stella
I think she said she was gonna do pixelart and started posting in the /vg/ gamedev threads or something like that. Idk if she still posts there or what she's doing. Did she have a blog or something? Maybe check that...
>JMGN
He's pretty busy since he pretty much does art full time. I do see him post in the porn threads from time to time tho so I assume he still comes to /ic/ every now and then.
>Anon313
Most likely got a studio job and very rarely posted work on /ic/. At their level I don't think anyone here could really be of much help. They probably come by every now and then to shitpost but you wont be able to identify them. Even during LAS they never directly stated who they were in the threads.
>Fmood
The most mysterious fellow of them all. They just randomly fell off like Rover. There was a rumor going around that it was someone who was posting their dead friends art work and they eventually ran out of pieces to submit. Probably BS but that's pretty much the only theory we had on this nigga.

>>2962358
Aruvee underpressure!

Dataizm, nice low effort.
Have a report.

>>2963054
>>2963054
I'd say Anon313's stuff looked good, but conceptually it was pretty generic.

>yfw you will be here until the last breath escapes your lips and the fire fades away

>>2962358
I'm excited for what you're gonna give me, Blarghu, since I've always enjoyed your Carrion Girls stuff

>>2963080
FUCK

is that sword lady gonna be your challenge character Cath?

>>2961297

hahaha I am
maybe I'll be back for summer

>>2963062

>>2963101
(Oh gosh I can feel the performance anxiety creeping up already)
I'll try not to disappoint!

Wasn't Mathias W1?

>>2963119
Yep! wait a little though, maybe I add more things to the dress.

>>2963149
leaderboard says he has 169 streak, so he must've died a while back

>>2962904
Wasn't me, but I'm not happy with myself too.

>tfw I don't even like drawing anymore but I'm too deep into las and too autistic to quit

>>2963267
why did you start drawing? where did you want to go? do you still want to?

>>2963273
I originally wanted to make comics and animations. I don't know anymore desu, I still kind of want to but it just gets so frustrating mang.

>>2963279
it's good you aren't quitting, in the future when you find your inspiration again you'll be happy you kept trucking and gitting just that little bit gudder while you were in a rut

chob

>>2963286
>yfw we're a community of a bunch of people and can't help one lassie

>>2963279
What are you hung up on that's currently distracting you from making comics or animation? If it's something like grinding fundies all day, take a break and just let loose and try new things.

>>2963296
Hell yeah damn straight EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF MOTHER FUCKERRSS

Tfw you decide you're too cool to participate in a challenge but feel crippling loneliness when all the other lasses have been paired up

>>2963279
If you wanna do comics and animation, go for it. Even if your fundamentals aren't in top shape that shouldn't stop you, learn as you, draw what you want to, have fun.

>>2963286
I hope so man, thanks for the kind words.
>>2963306
>>2963331
I'll try. I've just been lazily drawing things from my imagination for hours on end because I've been too depressed to really do anything. I can't get myself to focus and do studies or anything productive. I've got some time off soon so I'll try to get out of this rut and experiment more then. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.

>>2963050
thanks anon, sorry I'm a bit shy about sharing a blog though

>>2963417
>I've just been lazily drawing things from my imagination for hours on end because I've been too depressed to really do anything. I can't get myself to focus and do studies or anything productive.
iktf

I'm still here


I shouldn't be here

>>2963502
You and me both, bud, but I'm the most stubborn barnacle you'll ever see plaster itself to the side of this place.

>>2963417
get some fresh air, there's more to getting your influence other than sitting in your room staring at your monitor, interact with other people // or not, get an idea of what path you want to take, find out how you can get there, just go out and find a problem then solve it, get a process going.

>Keep trying to rejoin
>Spark is gone
How do I cope with this?

>>2963321
I thought I'm too shit for the challenge but now regret I haven't joined.

>>2963502
Youre still here, which means you should be here.
Keep going my dude, its a slow climb but you just gotta keep going if you want something out of drawing, whatever that may be

>>2963502
Well if you're gonna stick around, start putting some elbow grease into your submissions. What's the point of being here if you won't even fulfill the effort requirement?

>>2963539
You reignite the spark anon. It's not easy to do but take some time to think about why you wanna do art and you'll eventually find an answer. From there you could move on and try something else or if you believe the spark might still be there, however faint, then throw your hat into the ring and join the struggle with the rest of us.

>>2963539
join me anon, broke streak more than once, and one time over a year.
even if I don't feel really passionate, it's always encouraging to know I've done something every day.
every draw counts senpai

>>2963699
Is the last one Hazel?

>>2963703
the gif was made in 2016 before hazel was born so it's probably one of the week 1ers

I hope it's ok to ask here, but what are your opinions on improving and making studies using traditional media like a pencil and paper vs digitally with a tablet?
Does pencil and paper help you improve faster?
Been doing digital studies lately, but considering moving back to trad if the above is true.

I don't know why I hate Lava so much.
I don't want to hate a crippled mentally ill person, but I still do.

>>2963752
No you fucking retard, it doesn't matter what you draw on as long as you draw. Fucking absolute mongoloid cuck are you braindead. Some troglodytes find it easier to start with a pen and paper because they have the hand eye coordination skills of a half empty toothpaste tube

>>2963756
had a bad day anon?
but >>2963752
I don't think one is specifically better than the other, but each does have it's own advantages. Some people can output more volume with a pencil and paper. Also, I think it's a good idea to change up your work style every once in a while, it changes your perspective. Also, I'd recommend also going outside and doing drawings from real life observation, this can really boost your skill.
tl;dr, do both, go outside and sketch too

>>2963776
thanks man, what you say makes sense.
now that you've mentioned it, going out and drawing is something I've especially overlooked.

>>2963752
Both have their place; digital is great for finding new ways of doing things, since you can fuck around as much as you like without any real consequence, while traditional is great for streamlining your process and learning to plan ahead.

oh, would you look at that, a helpless little token, would be an awful shame, if , something where, to say, happen to it.

>>2963821
w-what!? D:

In memory of Choob we will all trace a photo tomorrow, its what he would've wanted, his Mum told me.

>>2963827
Make a challenge.

>>2963689
>>2963691
Second anon is correct. Sorry lads, you're not getting rid of me that easily :^)

rorg, good start! feet seem a little small to me though

vsock, nice study! however, the eyebrows are a bit high, and note the values on the eyeballs as well! Make sure you treat them as forms too

Ideon, try a little optimism :) it's a slow journey, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun! Try looking at some reference photos

Louse, great pose! The right foot seems twisted a bit too much compared to the knee

Innocent, really enjoy this character concept! great energy

CraniumOverLord, values could use some pushing, also remember silver doesn't have to be all grey!

SadGondola, needs more hard forms/edges! don't be afraid of that hard brush!

Nessiefynn, what a cute ;)

qwtrin, make sure you're applying your studies to your doge :)

jozu, hands seem a bit small, make sure the foreshortened hand is larger than the other too!

>>2963946

>>2963972
you just made me chuckle anon

>>2963991

STELLA
tfw she left early on instead

>>2963946
ah, i was wondering what was making his eyes look so sunken into his skull
thanks critanon o/

wholesomeissues im gonna need a link to that comic

>>2963946
Cool stuff but, who are you. Could you post your work? I would like to evaluate your work before I'll seriously consider any criticism. Don't take this the wrong way, I just don't want another Lava giving me advice.

>>2964112
>I would like to evaluate your work before I'll seriously consider any criticism
>being selective about criticism offered to help you

>>2964119
What are you trying to say? You should accept all criticism?

If you take advice from a person that can't draw at all you are retarded. I see a lot of horrible advice on /ic all the time.
I think anon was being respectful and reasonable.

>>2964122
>If you take advice from a person that can't draw at all you are retarded.
>if you take advice from a person looking at your art you are retarded
you're one hell of a nigger
if you paint a shit face, even someone who doesn't paint will tell you it looks like shit
limiting yourself to your own view is the dumbest thing you could ever do

>>2964129
Who said anything about ones own view.
I'll gladly accept an experts view. Not some furry drawing DA turbo tier "artist".

Let me guess, you can't draw either and you got triggered that I called you out on your bullshit.

>>2964122
A person's own ability doesn't change whether their criticism is valid and useful or not.

>>2964135
Yes, for example I always take mechanical advice from a person that has never in their life seen a wrench. ISHYGDDT.

But whatever, I'm not here to argue. Take whose advice you want and I guess you'll find out how far that advice can take you.

>>2963946
Thank you, anon! I'll try to pay it forward.

Soapbox- Very charming stylization, I enjoy how much personality this character has through appearance. Ear is a tad low, though

Colors looking nice so far! There's something odd about the negative space surrounding the unicorn/faerie, it looks much emptier than the rest of the pic, perhaps add some more plants there?

Mistwalker- Cute, though there's something off about the face, I'm thinking it's the mouth. It's wide open, toothless, and rather flat, try giving it some more dimension, consider how it wraps around the face!

Lokki- Ooh, I gotta say I really like that pose, it's got great energy to it. That said, the head/neck area is looking a little funny to me, I think that neck is a tad short.

You don't have to be a cook to tell the food tastes like shit, but you have to be one to tell them how to make the food not taste like shit.

>>2964132
Even the DA turbo autist might have seen something that you didn't notice.

When someone gives you a crit, take a look at your work and evaluate if you find what they said of value or not and then act accordingly. Choosing not to change anything is a perfectly valid choice if you don't agree with what they said, as long as you think it through.
Also remember that a value of any crit is that you get to look through someone else's eyes. They might be completely wrong in how they interpreted your art, but that might also mean that you weren't clear enough regarding your vision in the first place.

>>2964145
>Colors looking nice so far! There's something odd about the negative space surrounding the unicorn/faerie, it looks much emptier than the rest of the pic, perhaps add some more plants there?

Whoops, this was directed towards Coinhero! I accidentally deleted your name ^^;

>>2964147

>>2964147
Fair enough, fair enough.

>>2964147
Thank you that's exactly what my point was. I couldn't have said it any better.
>>2964151
That's also a reasonable response, thank you, but those cases where input from an amateur is actually valuable are very rare.

>>2964161
>but those cases where input from an amateur is actually valuable are very rare.
I didn't know we were all masters in here
did we all make it without noticing?

>tfw nyaa.se got shut down and I've only downloaded 10/58 anime series on my to-watch list
F U C K
U
C
K

I've almost run out of stuff to watch on youtube while I draw.

>>2964161
If you're a decent artist you should be able to tell when you aren't being given expert advice, if you're a beginner even ameteur/non artist advice can be useful. Why are you pestering a critanon to out themselves and risk getting dog piled?

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, man, if you think the crit is bad just ignore it, you don't need to know the skill level of your critic to make that judgement.

>>2964166
Try learning to draw in silence.

>>2964165
>he didn't notice that he made it without noticing
Not gonna make it.

>>2964165
No, but if you are trying to make it you'd want advice from a person that's better than you.

>>2964171
I would if I could but it's always noisy as fuck where I live so I put stuff on to drown it out.

>>2964173

>>2964174
on a technical level, absolutely
but if someone told you "hey, that blue is pretty bright" even something simple as that could change how you view your whole image
it's up to you to be open to that or not

>>2964181
Let's Plays usually make for good background noise, if you can stand the unfunny ones.

>>2964166
>>tfw nyaa.se
What, really?
Is it down for good?

>>2964166
how can you watch stuff while you draw?
No way you can pay attention to the plot, especialy if it's subbed

>>2964192
Who cares? All the new stuff is on horriblesubs and the good old stuff was only found on BBT or AB anyway.

>>2964192
Seems like it, check /a/

>>2964193
I've been going through lower priority stuff and play it on a 2nd monitor, most recent I've been watching has been owari no seraph so I don't really need to read the subs very often to get a general gist of what's going on.

>>2964167
This. A skilled artist can give bad advice, too, so you need to evaluate whether something makes sense for you regardless of where the advice comes from.

>>2964202
>>2964203
Oh well, I'm a little upset but I didn't use nyaa often and I still have a bakabt account.
Just have to keep your eyes open to new and more secret ways of chinese cartoon piracy.

Topic of today hit too close to home.

Once again Sasori saved the day. Thanks!

>tfw had another nightmare about getting eliminated
Okay, it was funny the first time it happened but now it's been happening for like 3 days in a row and it's getting creepy. Wtf is going on? Is my brain trying to tell me something? Is Loomis trying to hack into my mind? Pls send help

>>2964223
I remember this used to happen to people back when LAS first started, Loomis mind tricks.

>>2964223
I've also had one of those.
LAS has become way too fucking important for me.

>>2964223
>>2964225
>>/ic/thread/S2555340#p2556247
separate the weak from the chaff

>>2964174
Remember, artistic skill is a pretty broad field.
Someone doesn't need to be better than you at everything to give you useful advice, they just need one moment where they happen to know or notice one thing you don't.

>>2964223
I almost had a legit heart attack around 24:30 yesterday because I couldn't remember if I posted or not. I did, but it took a while to get my heart rate back down.

>>2964203
>Owari no seraph
Hey, I just finished that too. Too bad the only redeeming part is the animation and it's hard to pay attention to that while drawing.

I'm not gonna make it.

>>2964245
Jerry?

23:30 club baka.. when will u bakas learn

What do you gain for this? How can anyone seriously be this autistic? I don't get it at all..

Post your characters already, lassies! I wanna see your designs!

>>2964365
he gets (you)s from retards who reply

>>2964367
But who could possibly care about something like that enough to spend months being retarded?

Good night, have a nice photo.

>>2964370
as you said, autists
it's like trying to understand someone with a fetish so retarded anyone would call you a freak for being into it
sometimes you just do something, an impulse action if you will and it becomes a habit
ironically it's like LAS, where when you're not drawing every day it doesn't feel right to you anymore, if you're doing it right that is

>>2964375
>inb4 "ch0b"

>>2964375
>it's like trying to understand someone with a fetish so retarded anyone would call you a freak for being into it
TUBA VORE

choobposter had a retarded life :(

>>2962614
I'm so sorry Maiq; I should have replied earlier. I have very little understanding of the basic human form, and using reference doesn't resolve this matter for me. I'm unable to make an updated list but please go ahead and skip me in the challenge.
>>2962599
Sorry; that was definitely wrong of me, I agree

I've resolved to not join another challenge again. It just seems to ruin the flow for other people entirely. If there's anything I can do as penance for my genuinely scummy behaviour please let me know

>>2964383
sacrifice your token

>>2964383
continue drawing and get better

>>2964383
then deliver to the challenge. this is a character DESIGN challenge, not a watts atelier challenge. it's ok if your anatomy isn't great, you can still make a character DESIGN (heck kids do it all the time)

>>2964383
You can do it, I believe in you. Don't skip. Push yourself, this is the challenge.

>>2964383
Bullshit.
>Draw the first thing you see, do it with your wrong hand.
> Draw way bigger than your usual doodles.
>Add sticks for legs, arms or whatever you want
>Add black dots for eyes.
>Keep your lines but polish the inside.
Congrats, you honnored your participation.

>>2964383
What this guy said. >>2964391
Just make a character design, it doesn't matter how bad it looks. Just make it readable, even a 5 year old can do that. You're setting your expectations too high mang. It's just a fun little challenge. Also don't join challenges, esp. collaborative ones if you don't feel up to it. But again I think this challenge is something anyone could really do, sure you might not get the result you're looking for but most people on here wont. Just push yourself and give it a shot. Focus on the design and try to have fun with it instead of focusing on how good or bad it ends up looking.

>>2964223
>>2964226
>>2964242
What the hell guys and I thought I was the only retard that takes it too seriously. No nightmares but I think I'm stress eating. We should all update earlier.

>>2964414

>>2964411
Haha yeah. I had a dream that I tried submitting close to the deadline but it was daylight savings time and the deadline went back an hour so I got eliminated. Woke up in a real shitty mood cause I didn't realize it was a dream.

>>2964193
i watch stuff that im not really all that interested in. i just need something else on in the background. it also helps me regulate time better.

>Draw fully armored guy
>Realize you don't know how to paint metal
Who /retardedbeyondrepair/ here?

>>2964461
Mate
If you only ever drew things you knew how to paint
You'd never fucking learn how to paint

Go find some reference of what armor looks like IRL and get on that shit.

Where are you taking design sketching bandit?

>>2964461
Just paint along the form and google a bat, it's a cylinder and shows you how metal is done.

>>2964507
haha I'm not, dunno if you saw that thread a couple weeks ago with the FZD alum, but I decided to try to do the homeworks, but not on the FZD stress schedule

>>2964522
ah okay. I thought you were taking an actual course. I'll probably get started on that soon too, how do you like it? Good luck.

>>2964524
I think it's pretty good. Term 1 is basically fundies, but once you get to Term 2 & 3 you have some pretty good portfolio material. I have the homeworks laid out in a plan except for one term 3 class. I can share with you if you'd like.

is HarHarMcDaddyOOO here at all???

>>2964530
I see them in the discord, not sure if they're in the threads

>>2964532
what the fuck, theyre in the discord? they havent submitted anything to las yet

is ookic there with him

>>2964535
not sure, they might be under a different name on the discord

>>2964535
the fuck did you expect from a tool for circlejerks

sometimes I forget all about tripfag

>the city of tripfag

>>2964557
hi tripfag

>>2964527
>I can share with you if you'd like.
Yeah sure, I'd love to see it. Are you doing the 3d stuff too btw?

>>2964557
he actually kinda stands out for me. same goes for vusta, headdake, candycone, invalidavid, and some others

>>2964557
>>2964598
He's lazy but he's probably one of the best artists on LAS. Stylistically he's near the top.

boo

>>2964604
ah!

>>2964595
here you go: https://pastebin.com/kbAAtpLR
if something doesn't make sense, check back w the alum's google drive, since I shorthanded some things for me. I don't think you need to follow the homeworks exactly anyway, as long as you learn what they're supposed to teach. I think the quantity is pretty important though.
Yeah, I'm doing the 3D, I've learned a little through youtube tutorials already, but there's alot of info out there if you get lost. I also plan on doing Blender and learn some box modelling & texturing

>>2964608
Alright awesome, good luck man and Thanks!

>>2964589
Trip is developing a following on IG, I dig his stuff.

http://imgur.com/gallery/xs1PT This comic has been going on since October so it's pretty long by now.

On the plus side I can really see that I got a lot better with the drawing parts (my values still suck )

>>2964779
>this isn't too long
>click load more images
>holy shit
Whoa solid commitment mang. Good job!

>>2964383
Maiq here.

Don't worry about quality and fundies. Do something that you think looks fun or cool. As long as you post a character within these 3 days, I won't judge you.

LAS CHALLENGE

Just for fun, go to an artists profile (preferably one who has been here for a while) and post something from their first month or so here. Then the rest of us will try and guess who it is and discuss how their art is different now. I'll start.

>>2964530
I've been here and there - and in between.

>>2964865
https://harharmcdaddy-o.tumblr.com/

Though I have posted from time to time under different names.

>>2964863
no no no no fuck this

>>2964882
DO IT

>>2964891
some things are best left in the past, anon

>>2964895
oh well, just wanted to have some fun. The threads dead anyway :(

>>2964599
Yeap, trip is cool as fuck

>>2964863
What happened? You can't make a challenge?

>>2964787
Thank you :) . It's my third comic that will hit at least a 100 pages.

>>2965147
>300 pages
Great dedication. I wish I was like you, I abandon projects all the time.

for the character swap challenge, are we supposed to submit the final pic just in the usual submission box?

>>2965175
submissions for challenges can be separate from normal submissions, but they can be submitted as normal submissions too

>>2965156
I guess it's far more than 300 pages, more around 500 (all comic pages I did combined)...

I guess you just need to be a bit unhealthily obsessed to stick with one project for 2-3 years. I just love the story telling aspect. Drawing one artwork for 5 hours drives me insane, drawing three comic pages for 40 hours and I'm fine. No clue why.

cho ob

I can believe I liked my last submission

>>2964863

>>2965304
I have a feeling this art was by Lava

>>2965308
you're good at this game

>>2965000
it wouldn't really work on the site cause you don't really have to draw anything, just discuss stuff.

>>2965310
I remember Lava used to do a lot of these weird pieces for some reason

crit anoooooooooon
wheeeeere are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?
i can`t go to bed without my shallow comment

It would be easier to give you crit if I knew who you were, anon! Crit anons usually just don't have the time to crit everyone :(

u r best neva give up!

This. Just post your shit here and ask.

Give crits, receive crits.

I kinda hoped that exposing myself like this would help me get more confident.
At first I felt really nervous uploading my shitty drawings but now it feels like no one really cares what I draw and I don't feel any more confident than I did before.
It would be nice if the site had some ability to comment on or rate submissions.

Lava pls come back!

Been here since the start and I agree with ya. There's no interactivity on the site at all and that kills any sense of community. Even on forums like conceptart you have people hopping in to your sketchbook every now and then and leaving a comment.

Lava's against a general comments on the site and I doubt we're ratings will ever be considered, so even if he were to come back those two things will not change.

A crit system was being planned though.

>>2965467
What would a 'crit system' look like then?

>>2965473
the way DED made it was pretty much just a thread. People could post a message saying what theyd like to get crit on or what submissions, whatever, and others could comment, anonymously or named.

I guess it could work in a number of ways, that's a pretty straight forward way anyways.

So was the majority of initial users

Here's what Lava had planned a year ago, a little bit before he disappeared:

Ah interesting.
Though it does seem like quite a daunting project.

Jesus now I understand what you oldfags blabber about.

>threads used to get past 1k replies
how time flies

>>2965502
I wonder if people even look at my submissions.

>>2965506
i view every single submission

>>2965506
I know I don't :^)

>>2965483
>all those streamers in oldLAS
I'm sad.

>>2965506
I look at everyone's submissions

>>2965506
I used to crit ppl in /Beg/ and the Draw thread - but after a "post your work" incident one or two users (you never know) said I was trash and I shouldn't crit ppl. So I stopped and just went drawing. I look at all the submissions, but my motivation to crit is pretty low.

PYW in response to basic crits is so fucking stupid. It doesn't take an anatomy master to realize elbows don't reach your pelvic bone.
