Pokemon X and Y needs a Switch remake way more than DP IMO. Everything about Kalos, lore and region wise was a complete waste of potential.

>>5142531
Draw sexy super saiyan cat mario battling giantess bowsette or something

>>5142544
Nah, go to drawthischallege instead, it's an IG account that compiles all those dtiys challenges in one place and you can choose accounts where you don't have to compete with 100000s of others to get your art noticed

>>5142426
there is also twitter trannies lurking 4chan hoping to advance their bugman striver faggot career cancelling anyone and everything asociated with this place

>>5142551
i absolutely agree. i see no reason why gen 4 needs to be remade, it aged well. a rerelease with faster speed would be far more welcomed in my eyes.
kalos was absolutely empty. i thought for sure a third game would come and fix this region but no, we were left with something half baked.
i'm not looking forward to it dude ;_;
>>5142562
is there any named person who does this?

>Expecting good pokemon games in the current year
Alola was the last somewhat good region.
Kalos sucked major ass.
If you're hoping for a "remake" and "expanding on the lore/world", you ain't going to get it.
GF will just slap half assed 3d assets and call it a day and sell that to you for 60$.
You should make your own pokemon ga--- oh wait, you can't because nintendo.
But you know what you can do? Concept art.
Just draw how you would reimagine the region and hope it gets picked up by fans.

>>5142600
>>Expecting good pokemon games in the current year
>>5142511
>i am 100% certain they'll fuck it up because it's game freak
lmao

i loathed alola. it was handholdy, the difficulty was shit and i couldn't care less about the story. at least shiny hunting was easier.
kalos was disappointing, but i didn't hate it.
>If you're hoping for a "remake" and "expanding on the lore/world", you ain't going to get it.
true, even if they were to remake kalos, it'd be shit.
i don't plan on buying the remake
i am absolutely content with replaying older games though. HGSS is the best pair of games they've ever produced, but i hold DPP very dearly in my heart. it's going to hurt so fucking much when they ruin it, but at least i'll still be able to play the originals.

fuk

>>5142661

>>5142659
Nah, Alola was chill as fuck imo
The overall atmosphere and locations were much better presented
traveling didn't feel too linear and too dragging like kalos, which is just a big hallway filled with a fuckton of trainer encounters and a shitton of flowers
breeding and ev training was faster and easier
HMs being replaced by the pkm-service or whatever it was called
They were really going in a good direction with the game.
>but it was handholdy and not difficult
Anon, it's pokemen, the only difficulty is only being underleved, which you will never be even by just rushing past everything you can with exp share off.
I finished Sun in about 20 hours without rushing it too much.
I played a nuzlocke of Y just a few months ago, finished the game in about 12 hours iirc.

Sun is the last game i bought because i was just tired of pokemon since it's just the same shit just over and over and now that they're getting with the whole dlcs and shit with Sword and Shield, the games are just going to get even lazier and shittier.
I mean, they got so desperate they even made a pkm moba.
But that's beside the point; what i'm trying to say is; consumers will gooble up anything with pokemon on it.
And to stay on the thread topic;
What you want to do as an artist, is take advantage of the gobblers.
Always draw the newest pokomin the instant it gets revealed.
Or just draw pokemons.
I mean, you can make really shitty pokemon art and you'll even get followers.

>>5142408
i dont know much about the hololive thing because if the language, but i see streams from time to time, the vtubers tend to use a lot of artwork for their thumbnails to i saw in pixiv or in the reddits or in twitter. So, maybe if you make a really good looking or pretty drawing of any of the girls or the boys, you could maybe be in some of those thumbnails and gain a lot of viewers.
Because of the language i dont know if they are paid to do those works, or the company just take the drawings and put them in the streams, since is all fanart is free publicity, and they allways put the artist page in the description.

>>5143108
the same works if you do animations, some very average animations of the girls on youtube have a lot of views only for the trend, if is good quality and related to the characters zone, to their memes or situations, is 100% sure that you can have at least 100k of views in a video.
Some guys make animated shorts or gifs based on clips of vtubers that you can look in the hundreds of clip channels out there in youtube.

nintendo shit = always in season to draw because the internets full of manchildren
genshin shit = very in season since it released due to constant stream of coomer characters
any gacha game = basically the above to a slightly lesser degree
vtubers = decent for non coom, likely to get retweeted by the girls if good enough

>>5142426
ignoring this guy because i draw whatever i want and dont care

>>5143116
i dont want to give examples but just look for any name of popular vtubers and add "animation" and look the content, like pekora, korone, polka, rushia, etc, some are very simple so any beg animator of ic can do it, if you are mid tier then just go for more long narrations, humor based, and you gonna have a lot of attention, then you just have to capitalize that attention.

>>5142982
Are nuzlockes still popular? Thought about making a nuzlocke comic a few years back but that never happened, floated the idea again now but not sure if there's any interest in them anymore.

>>5143143
Popular, i think not, but i think they've become pretty normal/common knowledge among the pkm community.
>nuzlocke comic
Don't think about whether people are going to be interested or not.
Are you interested? Then do it.
Don't use the interest of others to do stuff or you won't do shit or you will do shit because it's the flavor of the week but quickly lose interest.
A comic isn't a thing you can just do like a regular drawing.
You have to invest a lot of time and though into it.
If your comic is good, people will be interested, but that can happen years after you've finished it.

I fucking hate the whole trend bandwagoning shit because it makes it so actual artists who do original, interesting stuff don't get recognized at all because retards now would rather just go directly for whatever's the latest epic memey material.

Remember the whole shit with FallGuys but drawn as women instead? Literal cancer. Imagine selling yourself out like that.

>>5143178
Welcome to the real world, kiddo.
Now go create things people can mindlessly consume if you want them sweet folwloua and laiks.

Originality is reserved only for people able to sell their original works.

>>5143030
damn, trannies must live rent-free inside your head

>>5143030
i dont know how anyone finds star ugly, even if it utilizes calarts it utilizes it really well

The tall vampire mommy from the upcoming resident evil is the current video game art trend.
>>5143178
that's just the game yo

>>5143178
that's how most artist survivel now aday, can you really blame them? Bandwagoning predate modern art trend, without bandwagoning we wouldnt have something like romanticism or classicism.

>>5142408
You should probably not only think about which trends bring in followers, but what community they appeal to. If you end up with followers that will not be interested in your own work you will be miserable.

>>5143246
>If you end up with followers that will not be interested in your own work you will be miserable.
This happened for me but with YouTube. Started just posting some "quality" shitposts and edits that people liked, then some of the shit I made got posted around on Discord or other board here on 4chan, so I got a lot of people either from /v/ or other boards subscribing. The moment I started posting some stuff that were a bit more serious and not fully related to shitposting, bunch of them started unsubbing and calling it cringe or throwing random unfiltered chan speech in the comments.

Gonna start posting proper animations on there at some point once I get good enough at drawing, so I'm curious how that will turn out, but for now I'm not feeling too miserable about it, if anything I'm just glad the people who do enjoy whatever I might be making still stick around.

Weh, the trends this season are boring.

>>5143278
This is a good example of why you should rather do what you want instead of desperately chasing clout.
If your interests align with something popular, then why not once of twice, but chasing trends is a cage you don't want to willingly lock yourself in.

If you're a coom or at least part time coom artist, draw some cuck shit with vtubers, game girls, or anime girls.
One artist has been making the rounds for a little while because of the butthurt they cause in whatever fandom the characters they draw are from. People into cuckshit will adamantly follow, defend, and buy your shit if you cater to them it seems.

>>5143290
I mean that's exactly what I'm doing. Maybe I'll make one or two things related to a meme or something like that if I actually find it funny or interesting for some reason, but I never go out of my way to make something just because it's popular at the time.

See for example the recent trend with the whole "Lamar roasts Franklin" shit that's happening, so many variations of it out already, just like the "I guess you're my little pogchamp" shit. Overused to hell and back, never bothered making anything related to any of those.

>>5143178
That's just life.

>>5143216
O-oh. Shes pretty cute, ill give her a go

>>5142408
sakimichan....

>>5143558

>>5142659
>the difficulty was shit
USUM were literally the most challenging games of the main series (which is not much)

>>5143558
But why though?

>>5142518
are you implying trendhoppers actually like the stuff they draw fanart from?

>>5143558
fucking disgusting. i hate vtuber whores so much.

>>5142408
What would you even do If something you post ist trending? Like, what to so next?
What good is it If you gain a thousand followers over some fanart when you want to focus in personal stuff or at least not get stuck drawing for one fandom...

>>5143558
fucking disgusting

>>5143809
Gura is NOT a whore, and sakimikichan completely ruined her model by turning her into such generic coomer bait.

>>5142557
oh thanks for the info. looks like the challenge is there too

>>5143178
I post alot of original art and ive been thinking of doing a little experiment to see how much traction i could get if i fan art or art trends, I've literally seen this one IG artist that had literally 50-100 followers that posted fan art of popular tv cartoon shows when she started out, I kept watching and analyzing her content grow and grow as she kept consistently pushing and churning out these fan art posts and know by this year has about 1k followers

>>5143558
this really doesnt fit

>>5143126
faggot

>>5144237

>>5143278
I'm glad things worked out in the end, friend! good luck with the animations.
>>5143290
pretty much. It is kind of funny because on this board there are people who are convinced once they make money with furry porn they will finally be free to do what they truly want.

>>5142511
Of course they will.
Every games past X/Y are huge pieces of shit.

>>5142488
there is a high request of mushoku tensei lewds

>>5143846
If you draw other people's ocs you get noticed more easily since you may receive a retweet from a bigger art-associated account. Also might make some friends along the way.

I animated someone's cosplay and got an inflated follower-count overnight.

Beyond that, if your art is good, you'll probably see your numbers go up. There's seriously no point to chasing clout tho, just create art for the love of it. Otherwise you'll burn yourself out when nobody cares enough to look at you.

Vtubers are honest to god the worst trend that has ever hit weebs.

How many followers should you have before opening commission? 100? 1000? 10.000?

>>5145894
no

Wasn't Gura's gimmick in the Before Times drunken whore Nyanners?

>>5148799

She literally has only been around for like 2 months and she's nothing like that cunt Nyanners.

>>5149382
gura before she was recruited by Hololive was an amateur voice actress.
Shut up you stupid gaywad, go find some other thread to gaslight in.

I kneel, vtuberchads.

>>5152616
damn maybe I should jump on the vtuber bandwagon.

how do i start getting into vtuber lore

>>5153034
start with some wikis, they have all the vtubers listed in gens or projetcs, so you can easy tell the basic groups, at least with hololive, with the others is a little more hard because they are more, or they are less relevant, so stick to hololive for start, since is the most popular outside Japan.
Then watch a lot a clips, with preference the most watched ones, later just pick a single vtuber and start to watch clips, if you get really into the shit, you can watch the streams directly, and later search for the clips translated, usually the come really fucking fast, some people even make clips of the stream that the vtuber is doing in the same moment, so you can easily catch material.

>>5153048
the most consumed material could be of course the more popular, like pekora, or gura, then is just pick your favorite one, since they are so many each one have different things, is fine to pick one and then check they direct "relatives", the rest of the girls of the same gen, they usually share more with those. Or you can just make pin-ups or just common cum material, you just need to check some streams of the girls to learn about their personalities, or you can always draw Marine since she is always horny (is his running joke, that she express in her personality also), but, she knows how to draw, very good, so don't draw shit because she will know, she also said explicity in some stream that she wanted from the fan artists to draw lewds of her but "with more plot". Haachama also look her lewd fanarts to the level that once she make a stream watching some fanarts.
You can also watch coco's stream, some times she made a "reddit shitpost review" stream, in wich you can watch a lot of material, or just check the reddit.

>>5156713
Also no one is asking you to draw every trend, jsut pick a trend that affiliates with you the most if you dont want to feel lkke a "sellout." There are shit load of trend to draw wether it be within a niche community or the public.

>>5153698
If you're really bout that life, then leak irl photos and information of them to the public.
Reveal their significant others and if you can't confirm that they have one, start rumors that they do.
Only half of their western fans will be legitimately perturbed at the thought worshipping another man's property because cuckoldry and paypigging is pervasive over here.
Japfans will cancel any vtuber suspected of having contact with males that arent managers/producers. Vtubing is an extension of idol culture so the slutshaming extends to it. Like the Towa girl that got blasted for having male voices in the background of a stream.

>>5142408
Trending right now? Vtubers and that tall lady from RE8.
Some consistently popular stuff though is:
Nintendo IPs
LoL/OW

If you want to stay up to date then browse /a/ and /v/, they catch up to fads pretty quick

It's mindboggling how quickly vtubers got huge. It wasn't that long ago when Kizuna Ai was seen as a niche thing.

>>5157245
Its just idol culture combined with anime aesthetic
Its the perfect formula for mass appeal

>>5157272
Nothing about them is new, I know, but still, all of this came too fast.

>>5157330
I mean, they struck gold considering when they decided to pop up.
They came into existence right around the time that trump entering presidency caused a spike in internet usage and social media clicks.
Several other things took place around that time that I don't remember nor care to look up but basically, the vtubers were able to gain a foothold because there were far more people online at once than any other time besides right now, of course.

>>5157200
You’re wicked

I approve

>>5143178
You can’t blame most of the people who do this because normalfags want you dead and starved if you don’t appease them. People like you (and technically me because I’m not good enough to bandwagon if I wanted to) just have to take one for the greater good and not participate

>>5163157
False equivalence. The fan cultures of the late 90s and 2000s Internet was quite different than fine art during the early modern era.

>>5163167
yeah the fan culture back then was heavier and not short attention span ocd type. its called religion. They draw greek gods, roman gods, christian icons and pagan gods. And they took the stories seriously, worshipped them , conquered islands , and killed people for it. They had actual love for the subject and eventually artists just painted these subjects to rank higher in exhibitions or get more reputation rather than actual love for the subject.

Is it better to draw huge Vtubers like Gura or go after the once who had launch recently? I can find some that started less than a month ago and wonder about drawing those instead... I guess less saturation but also less following.

Don't just draw vtuber doing random thing
You want BIG numbers?
