is that asukafag?

Sup /salt/, could I ask for some feedback regarding this please? >>6374568

>>6375013
idk I just picked my favourite out the thread, post some fackin wips lad

Witch

should I post in the futa gen instead? I didn't want to split the thread but idk how well-received futa is on /salt/
>>6372996

>>6375011
It feels like they used a make reference for this. The back is very broad and the buttocks seem masculine somehow.

>>6375038
Good rhythm, but put more effort into posting legible photos.

>>6375244
fym homie looks fine to me

how we looking kings and queens above 18.

>>6375011
damn I wanna lick that asshole

I based this were-cat in a girl I know in real life, her nipples are covered because of a personal reason.

>>6375721
You have to be 18 to post here, Anon.

>>6375772
Yes, I am 19 but I am in a public place and nipples are awkward for me

>>6375804
Learning disability?

>>6375828
No, but I usually don't draw nipples.
In the drawing she has a semi visible vagina and pubic hair.

>>6375024
like other anons told you it depends entirely on your demand. they could be worth $20-200 depending on what people are willing to pay. from what I see on the /aco/ discord commission channel, you could start at around $40 and start charging more with more demand. as someone who's started that a year ago, make sure you also make some fanart, grow your audience, because otherwise you'll be stuck at that level. maybe that's fine, maybe it's not enough to sustain you if that's what you want. so that's another factor; whether you want to make a living out of it, or a a little extra spendo.
>>6375075
there's plenty of futa posted on /salt/. not sure why there's a futa general when it would be fine here and this is dead enough. that's a good start to a sketch already though the torso looks a little too short
>>6375147 >>6375185
weird, cute
>>6375329
is this the chef and waitress duo? it does look appealing and you've got some good motion and I love his face, but they don't look connected, or it looks like he's a statue she's holding on to
>>6375424
cool
>>6375721
put some more effort into these and draw bigger

>>6375011

finished this one

>>6375329
has potential! the guys head is too large compared to hers. Her arm should be straight too. I understand you want her elbow to seem foreshortened, but I don't think that's helps the composition.

>>6375011

Trying to begin in this path

>>6375027
going tryhard on the rendering here. her ladyparts need fixing and the bg needs details but I'd appreciate any crits so far

>>6376024
thanks~

>>6376069
Fantastic rendering. Looking good.

>>6376844
Good start. Be mindful to avoid pillow shading.

This is a coloured verison of some lineart I did a while back. I've been trying to work on the way I colour things and have been wanting to streamline it in a way that makes it cleaner, simpler and faster.

I hate rendering sometimes.

Thanks a lot, anon. 'Tis the season.

>>6371677
might make some adjustments but its mostly done

"There's something I have to tell you, it's about your birth" weird old guy put on some pants.

>>6377602
She came out really cute.

>>6375424
I hate you so much, you never learn anything and always revert back to the same old shit, on top of your truly nonexistent taste.

>>6377741
All he has to do is soften some of those anatomy lines and the figures would immediately look so much better.

>>6377602

>>6377450

>>6378490
Really liking the lines and shading, but proportions are all over the place

>>6375244
Thanks, I will try!

coomer bros, I've been sleeping on this technique

>>6378701
SHEEESH

new wip

>>6377229 going through a similar thing where I realise the simple gradients and soft shading can sometimes end up looking way more appealing than all the intricate shapes. rendering is a finnicky bitch. this looks cute and effective
>>6377450 cute. black bg makes it look surreal in some way like she's in some void, dark grey would put her in a room
>>6377602 nice, lovely, gr8. head looks a bit too tall imo but who cares
>>6377884 nice, (her) right arm could look more relaxed
>>6378490
agree with the proportions looking a little off, namely her head looking relatively small. also if goofy's hand was lower down, in front of his belly but behind the dong it would create some nice depth. also his body looks like a creature off some creepypasta
>>6378701 that's awesome. is this yours?
>>6378774 do you handpick the colours when shading or use a consistent colour in multiply mode? love her expression

>>6379378
>that's awesome. is this yours?
no that's art by: EU03

>>6378774
I like it, but I think it would be hot if her left breast was squished against the couch cushion, it would also ground her more.

>>6379378
>nice, lovely, gr8. head looks a bit too tall imo but who cares

it was and too thin around the chin for her character so i fixed that as well
i can post it again but i dont want to shit up the thread with a minor fix
thank you for pointing that out its a big help to hear these things

>do you handpick the colours when shading or use a consistent colour in multiply mode? love her expression

usually i just start with something that i think is close to what it should be but it almost always ends up changed at some point as more colors and values get put it
ill more often than not start with a multiply mode for the shadow block in but honestly it doesnt matter if its multiply or not at this point you could just as easily pick the color that looks right since its gonna get painted over so much during rendering

>>6379816
ill play with that idea
since shes leaning on her elbow underneath her i figured shed be too raised up to get a proper squish but i think suggesting on the bottom would still work

thats a good idea thank you ill try it

>>6377216
not sure if it did avoid looking pillow-shaded and it still feels like it needs something. more hard edges? more contrast? more shape design? i need to look at artists who excel at this kinda thing and study them so any suggestions/crits welcome

fuck this is good. what brushes do you use to render/paint?
Only crits I can give is the pose feels a bit stiff

>>6377602

>>6378701
I... am tempted to try this.

>>6380349
@reloadhb on twitter until the site implodes

Iilsa unarmouring

>>6380337
aaah thank you anon, the rendering is almost all done with the default hard round brush with opacity and size jitter, there's some texture in the wing "bones" done with a textured brush I got off Marc Brunet's set (it's free) that I also used for the linework. I agree with you about the pose, though at this stage I might just try taking the liquify tool to it to make it a bit more natural, I want it to preserve some 'bossiness'
>>6381219 that's a beautifully slappable butt

>>6381287
That was my last commission, you can scream as much as you want

>>6381289
let's see that linework

>>6381289
>>6381286
I'm not quite sure how to feel about this but it feels like any critique I have would be wasted on you since nothing you make is your own work. I'd be better off sending my feedback to the developer of the machine learning tool you used.
if you submitted this for feedback I'm not sure what to give you nigga...

>>6381300
You can do that, I'm using stable diffusion, a quick search and you'll find their website

>>6381291
>I don't draw

>>6381306
>anymore

>>6381302
just pass along the following.
>the anatomy in your piece is whack as fuck
>the forearms are two different sizes
>the ears sit on the head asymmetrically
>she has the hands of two different people, one with long sharp fingers and the other with squashed tiny paw hands
>the suit is disappearing into her skin next to a very deformed-looking shoulder muscle
>he head blooms out before shrinking at the base like a lightbulb, her skull feels abnormal
>her posture around her abdomen suggests she's leaning forward but then her hips still occupy the foreground, and then awkwardly lead into her thighs that are pushing into the viewers perspective and also on top of each other, and also they're too low in her pelvis to feel attached.
>her body literally looks like a tube of sausage that someone's aggressively squeezed in random places to try and imitate form.
>also the hair is blurry compared to the rest of the lineart
>the shadows on her legs don't adhere to reality.

>>6381314
Thank you, it's rare to see this much critique for AI art, I thought I would get ignored like I used to but AI seems to be doing better than my own art

>>6381320

>>6381276
Thank you for the advice. I'm trying to get better at digital rendering on procreate but am having a hard time understanding how to get smoother/softer textures.

>>6381575
Start with hard edges and either use a soft brush at the edges or smudge

>>6381575
not sure if it applies to procreate as well but the fundamentals on ctrl+paint really helped me out. that's all the advice I can give at my level, also doing some comfy rock/flower/fruit studies cause they can just be fun and less stressful than a whole ass, finicky figure, take baby steps first

a bit unhappy with this, I would like my rendering to be more painterly and loose with a brushstrokes but it ends ups looking way too soft.

really need to study some artists who paint like that

>>6381286
I found you can make ANY picture 50% hotter with these simple steps. I welcome you all to try.

>>6381695
feeling the same way, been looking at gloss, mystik, our very own nat, alleria, hungryclicker, csr they all do it their own way but there's more than just soft/hard edges, there's scratchiness and unblended brush strokes, fuckin around with layer styles, expressive linework leftover, that kinda thing. it takes some confidence to 'ruin' the perfect rendering you already have but ofc it can all be done in separate layers. it's worth doing some studies of them, even quick 15 min ones, and seeing which style feels natural and intuitive to your own work
>pic rel by natthelich
i said this a while ago but seeing how this general is sometimes a little pyw-shy we could post some example work and do some studies together

>>6381579
Thanks. That's really helpful

I posted this drawing in sketch form a few weeks back and I finally got around to trying to finish it but something about it is still bothering me and I'm not really sure what it is.

Does anyone here see any issue with this? I think it's her face that's bugging me or maybe the whole thing just isn't worth finishing

>>6381695
I think the face is the problem with this image, the body looks great imo.

>>6378016
I'm tired of waiting. Is it good or not?

>>6378016
>>6382104
Doesn't have appeal to me. Not to say its bad, its just when making ero-art i think its better to exaggerate proportions and give people bodies that would normally require plastic surgery and God genetics

>>6382104
The lack of arms make it less appealing for me

will finish tomorrow
i tried adding the breast squish but i couldnt get it to look right so im gonna roll with this

>>6381867
His tip shouldn't be blood red like that, and her right eye is tilting in a weird way that doesn't match up with the rest of her face.

>>6382710
sorry forgot to add
*you need to start flipping your canvas anon

Is there a discord for fledgling NSFW artists?

bro at least look up how a pussy looks.

you know im gonna mr poopy pants ill be workin that area in a bit

opinions on the butt and in general

Sketched this ones after watching a fren play the new pokemon, do you guys like it

>client who I have worked with previously commissions me
>ghosts me after I send him the invoice
>hmu couple of months later wanting a new commission

I don't think I'll take his comm out of spite. I can't tolerate niggas who ghost me. You'll get ghosted back fuck head. Also, my slots are full af.
What would you do?

>>6384223
The last guy that ghosted me i blocked him. i don't tolerate ghosting.

>>6384223
re-read your post like it was happening to someone else, what does your intuition tell you to advise them?
personally I wouldn't bother when they're likely to do the same. especially if you're booked up with customers that pay up on time

>>6384223
>not getting payment up front
you deserved it

>>6384245
based
>>6384239
yeah...You can easily waste 20 minutes just reviewing their commission ideia; pricing it; and sending the invoice. That's time we aren't getting paid lol

>>6384248
>>not getting payment up front
what? I always take payment up front and that's the invoice he ghosted(didn't pay).

>>6384250
makes sense im sorry anon for bein an ass on reaction you didnt deserve that
sometimes theyre asking prices because theyre shopping around for prices and comparing it to others
nothin wrong with giving an estimate if you can quickly then moving on until he answers
but if youre filled already just tell him you cant take any more on right now

I fapped to these.

>>6384522
Three separate times or all together?

>>6378016
This reads like it was drawn by an incel, virgin coom-brain

>healthy amount of chub
>has waterboard stomach
>walks around with no panties - loves showing off her ass and completely waxed pussy
>Lol but guys she's had sex only 1 or 2 times tops
>very sensitive too - so I can make her cum even if I only last a minute or two

>>6384602
not them but yeah i guess that would be a 'healthy' amount of chub
just some extra fat deposits around the stomach where it would collect on a female mostly
chub isnt necessarily fat
the stomach isnt that defined but i do agree it could be a bit less defined
its not washboard abs its just too defined for chub

>>6375011
who's the artist?

I've been trying to redraw from a source image in hopes i can animate a scene. i've been making sections (back, hair, left arm, right arm, ass). any advice on how to draw better and faster or any other tips are welcome.

>>6384588
who would you say are the 5 NSFW artists who influenced you the most?

probably done with this

>>6381289
This is proof to me that you technerds are soulless. Without a conscious.

>>6384730
There’s a lot about this that is terrible but that arm really stands out.

>>6381289
How do you defend your usery? Do you hate artists? If all that matters to you is money then why not go into the trades or something?

>>6384730
feel like the face would be more appealing if you moved the mouth further up and changed the nose to be less flat, otherwise not a bad job

>>6384730
>>6384967
I made some quick changes to show what I was talking about, I hope it helps.

>>6385011
I see what you mean thank you
I was trying to keep the nose closer to her design but I can mess with it

>>6384941
Care to share with the class?

>>6384685
seconding this so i can avoid them

>>6384730
how do I render like this..

>>6385453
nta but honestly the art in spy family is kind of... bad? Idk Loid looks weird, like he has terminal yaoi face, his eyes are too high up and shit, so I think you did a good job being on-model with her face but it's not your fault a lot of the characters look kind of odd. I think your version is a better likeness, but maybe do try moving the mouth up just a bit.

>>6385637
I'm realizing how backhanded this sounded. I didn't mean it that way, your piece is really good and appealing

>>6375011
Might need some literal hand holding for this. Should I shorten the forearm and elongate the hand to make it appear steeper? I don’t know how to do the arm for this one sorry been tinkering for the past half hour

>>6384685
that's a hard question to answer since i didn't start drawing nsfw first, i was drawing stuff for like fantasy action then decided to also branch out into nsfw without really changing the style i started when i was trying to go for stuff like Shirow miwa or ken akamatsu or Oh Great!

>>6385700
Wrap it around his backside. Pulling him in.
You can hide it this round for the sake of making it hotter.

>>6385751
I wanted to practice some perspective but fair enough I'll just save that for art drills. I'm somewhat invested in this pic, it's probably the most normal thing I've drawn in a while

>>6384730
>>6385011
left is a draw over of your line art, maybe it'll highlight the issues that other anon had with your arm.

her neck is too short and her head is quite small.

right is my interpretation of it.

>>6385994
NTA but could you explain whats the problem with the arm? and also whats the issue with the original angle/pose?

thanks

sorry for the gay shit again, new wip because i ended up not liking the other one. something about the dick and way the hair sits in this bothers me somehow, probably some other stuff wrong that i’m too /beg/ to notice

>>6386025
there's nothing wrong with it and you should move on anon. I know that's hard to believe so I won't ask you to believe me.

>>6385994
it was nice of you to do this.
I don't think these changes add as much as they change.

>>6386047
yeah idk it felt like he just came in and said "let me draw it my way here you go" without actually offering any constructive criticism for the original piece that you could implement lol

>>6385994
You butchered perspective anon

>>6381695
Try with blue braces

>>6386047
>there's nothing wrong with it
Are you actually retarded or just a terrible artist? She has a little baby t-rex arm that would reach to her belly button if her arm was held out straight. Not to mention that it's folded over her ass cheek like it's made out of paper, rather than actually interacting with her body as though it has mass. Fucking idiot coomers

>>6385994
I made some small changes to your interpretation.

The face is a bit flat for my taste, the sharp chin and very round head made the overall shape bulbous as well.

I think your hand is somewhat too large, at that size it looks like she could grip around the width of her thigh. I also feel like from this angle the wrist would have to be in an extremely bent position to look like that.

It should be possible to see at least some of the forearm from this view, at the very least it looks less awkward than having the hand float.

>>6385994
you made the arm way too long and the hand way too big

>>6386059
>She has a little baby t-rex arm
its called foreshortening anon...
>rather than actually interacting with her body as though it has mass
humans can suspend their arms in the air against gravity anon...
>Fucking idiot coomers
pyw anon...

>>6385994
>>6386066
I'm so impressed how blind you people are

>>6386055
>>6386066
I'll concede I fucked up the perspective relationship of the torso to the leg area, her upperbody should be much smaller, ill also concede the hand size on the ass.

I won't conceded her arm length.

the original is good, but im not going to comment on it till i try drawing it myself or im just throwing criticism from the void.

>>6385994
yeah overall i agree the arm needs some adjusting
also this did help me see where i lost track of the perspective i laid out when rendering and it got wonky on the couch
thankfully thats an easy fix and ill get on that

i had the neck pushed forward a bit but i think i lost some of that in there too
i can completely see how it comes across as small instead of cranked forward so ill try to fix that as well as looking at the head size
its probably a bit too tiny and needs a boost so we'll try it to see

as for your redrawing of it i think another anon said it best
its a really interesting angle and i think it has a lot of positives to it but it is an entirely different image at that point
sure, any drawing can be improved by saying "just redraw it" and i would absolutely have loved to see this earlier in the process when i posted the sketch and even the early rendering a few days ago then i would have taken the time to scrap it and redo it
but at this point its too late to do a complete redraw and i have to work with what i got and fix it that way
I still do appreciate seeing the different angle it is inspiring to see things in a different way so thank you for taking the time to do it ill try to keep that energy in the next drawing i do


to answer other anons issues with the mouth as well i did try to intentionally make it a little lower to have her look more greedily drunk but if it didnt come across that way then its for the best to just have it proportionally in place

thank you everyone who gave feedback i appreciate it even the angry bois

>>6386127
>>6385994
also post blog pls

>>6386120
pyw

alrighty heres the changes
i moved the head out to give her some neck, made it a tiny bit bigger, fixed the perspective on the couch, tried making the arm more appropriate, and tried to make her expression slightly more intentionally drunken horniness

>>6386265
pussy and asshole are wrong position

>>6386268
moved em a bit

>>6376070
Great face on the girl
>>6376069
How do you render like that? Need that to polish my turds…
>>6386282
That looks good, nice composition

>>6386122
>I won't conceded her arm length.
I mean you can try the pose yourself, with an upright torso position turned inward it would be impossible to have the elbow reach that low for a normal human being. In your references the models are all lying practically flat, meaning the upper body is closer to the ground which allows for the position. We can agree to disagree.

>>6386293
Hey anon, isn't her right nipple too away?

>>6386282
this is niice

>>6386293
is that supposed to Nicki Minaj?

working on some fun ways to color my drawings while learning to to nsfw.

>>6386561
Probably, I tried to even it…

>>6386568
Yeah, I was trying to do some random celebrities to see if I could make them look proper. I tried going to ink and color and I just don’t care for it, I haven’t found a good technique yet…

>>6386617
love your caricatures and there are some nice poses here. do you draw those lines straight away or is there a sketch underneath?

>>6386623
I erased some of the construction lines, but I’ll have a reference right to the side. For the faces I’ll have my mannequin underneath

tfw the girl im dating wants to see my drawings so i have to scramble to draw SFW shit because all i draw is PORN

>>6386693
chad move would be to draw porn of her

I might buy these or a couple of sets I could share here but wondering if these are hosted anywhere first? there's so many on artstation and they actually look pretty good

>>6386705
This, time to pull out you sketchbook of penis studies

>>6386693
A girl i liked showed 0 interest in me back in senior highscool, until the day i got drunk and everyone had to take me home. i remember her looking through my sketch book full of porn before i passed out and after she was down to party.

If you have a fetish that you are too shy to say do a drawing of it and slip it in to the stuff you plan to show.

>>6386708
if you do buy please share

This bullshit has been bothering me the entire week, so I had to fix it.

>>6386771
nothing changed/you uploaded the wrong file

>>6386693
she WILL find out... might as well have it be on your terms

>>6375011
Hate backgrounds, hate water. hate rocks. hate foliage, fuck nature

>>6386771
darker shade was better

Values are hecked up.

>>6386895
There's also this.

>>6386875
That’s awesome, how long does that take you? That’s from a line drawing, right?

>>6386771
Skin around the butthole can be pretty dark so I liked the original shade more

>>6386895
Push your lighter values more. There's not enough contrasting. And the face needs work.
>>6386875
Muscles/rendering looks pretty good in some places like the ass. The other areas need that push too. Other than that, its just boring too look at.
>>6386771
Nice buthol.
>>6386597
Yellow is a bit strong but I'd like to see this finished. And add more details. Like the hands/fingers etc

>>6386642
>>6386617
Forgot yours. Your gestures are pretty nice, the faces scream American comic book art/characature drawings.
Not a bad thing but definitely not my preference.

alright folks looking for some advice
tl;dr I wanna be able to charge more for nsfw comms. right now a fully shaded full figure is $40, and I intend to charge about $80-100 eventually, because right now my estimated hourly rate is a woeful £5-6 an hour.
to increase prices I need to increase demand (and quality ofc, though less skilled artists than me make more already) so to increase demand I need to increase reach and engagement so is the answer; just draw fanart? consistently, say once or twice a week, with some commission work peppered in? i've got artists influences for how to sketch/render/etc but none for a good business model.

>>6386878
>>6386902
It's not about darkness, it's mainly about hue. We have the vagina completely pink, then a purple ass right next to it.
A brown ass would be understandable as a variation - some people have dark asses -, but purple screams "hemorrhoids" to me.

>>6386066
Perspective may not be 100% accurate but it's good enough imo and makes the composition more interesting. What resource did you use to learn it?

I'm starting to lose hope. I should have never started drawing hentai for the money.

>>6388127
if you're gonna vent at least give us more goss, do you mean you're used to how much money you're making but don't like drawing hentai anymore? or you don't make any and don't feel like it's going anywhere? if it's the first; set boundaries, make a small account for sfw as an outlet. if it's the second, I'm with you >>6386912 and yeah just suck off the algo a bit with some fanart and grow your fanbase

>>6384209

I draw fanart, hentai, everything. But nothing. People probably just want free art from me and nothing else.

>>6388222
i need to know if this snowbox doomposting again
is this you snowbox? get good and post actual fanart consistently. stop looking for friends online. thanks

>>6388222
maybe try getting good

>>6388227
i don't know who that is. but i go by the name gloss pale. advertising doesn't work for me.
>>6388296
i'll try to get better and stop doom posting.

>>6388306
all your work has this absolutely obnoxious, huge watermark on it dude. it puts me off retweeting or even looking at it desu. but you have a nice, clean style. what do you want? more commissions? get bigger reach, post some fanart, post some ych raffles, post some fun sketches.

>>6388127
>Drawing for money
That was your first and probably only mistake.

>>6388306
>advertising doesn't work for me
ur too impatient, if u arent creating art related content elsewhere like on tiktok/yt or streaming then this its going to be a slow grind for followers. Just dumping pics on every site is like putting up flyers randomly in ur city hoping something sticks

honestly the best advice to make ppl think ur art is instantly higher quality than it is ..... put all your practice effort into making your faces more appealing

if the faces and portrait section of the body look really good then people will unconsciously forgive everything else as long as it kinda makes sense

then improve your skin rendering some more, learn some filter or lighting tricks and you can prob get steady flow of commissions to sustain yourself

you can slowly work on the rest of the skills along the way

didn't know about those artists. Very cool.
definitely will study natthelich. Thing is I don't know how cost efficient his/her process is. I'm guessing it isn't.
My process( most of us do this) is very efficient: line/flats/multiply layer+shading/ highlights/ wtv FX).
I think you can only make it look like a rough painting if it's done on the same layer, just like an actual traditional oil painting.

blog?

Should I be constructing the body with boxes and then drawing, or should I just go straight to drawing? What are your experiences with both of those approaches?

>>6386708
Pls share, how much is it?

glad you made me look today it's on offer for about 6 usd today and so are a bunch of other packs on there. I'm gonna get this one and post it here later, have a look round and see if there are others that might be worth getting for the salty bois

>>6388935
>Should I be constructing the body with boxes and then drawing, or should I just go straight to drawing?
>should I be drawing and then drawing, or go straight to drawing? draw first, then draw? or draw second after drawing the pre-drawing?
i think you're a little lost little lamb I tell ya hwhat, it sounds like you still need to develop your own workflow which yes, 'should' include sketching, construction etc but this is beginner stuff so it sounds like you might need to go back to absolute basics. if i'm wrong show us your work and i'll try to crit it not just from a "finished product" pov but try to get in your head and tell you what to think about during each stage
if you're talking about whether to use boxes specifically, yeah sure, as practice, but for a human figure it helps a lot more to use basic shapes that better resemble the body, like eggs for the ribcage, an upside down yogurt pot for the pelvis, 'shortcuts' like that. and that helps you then place muscles, features, line over the whole thing and rob's your father's brother you're set to finish your piece

>>6388935
whatever feels more natural, try both

boxes for me never really "clicked" and I draw better when i use loose guidelines and landmarks

Midna!

>>6388636
That's my kind of shit. Blog?

>>6384944
The same way digital artists did in the late 90s, they kept at it because they wanted to create art independent of what others thought about what real art is. It will normalize in 3 decades

Where did all the artists go?

>>6389175
Digital artists created art. You're just a talentless nodraw Pajeet.

looks yummy

Even people who don't draw get more likes than I do. Maybe it's time for me to give up at this point.

>>6391150
Probably. I know I would.

>>6391192
Thanks! Everytime I give up; I somehow gain 6 followers. I need to give up more!

>>6390823
Yeah, as an experiment I used Daz + blender for light and shadow reference

>>6391414
Based. Farm those followers!

Is there any book/course that teaches how to draw genitals and nudity more sexually?

All my drawings are genital and nippleless

>>6392337
Not any full on courses or book that I know of but there’s plenty of tutorials on drawing dicks and whatever online

$30.18, Jim

>>6386902
Because poop comes out of there! The butt is gross!

>>6389327
what is this website?

Octogob
Rare sex comm

Which butt looks better?
A

Or B

>>6393851
>>6393852
A is more manly B is more twinkish and fuckable
depends on what you want to convey

calling this done.

>>6393854
Both are very fuckable imo, so guess I’ll just post both

Whomst of you declares your coomer art income and pays taxes on it?

>>6393780
it's just Opera's pinboard feature. It's great.

>>6393833
This looks low quality dude. You need to learn better penis anatomy. Some parts look unfinished. Looks like your trying to do an anime face style but it's not working out. Very questionable piece.
>>6393899
The smugness scares me. As if he/she is gonna ejaculate on my face without warning. Same as the other. The face isn't resonating with the overall picture. But Interesting colors.

>>6394313
>. Some parts look unfinished
Can you elaborate?
I hated this piece tbf, I hate drawing sex and can't really draw it. Debating refunding the guy the 130USD i charged him. He gave very positive praise but you can never get the truth

>>6393899
Calling you a faggot.

>>6394332
I'll elaborate but I'm phone posting. But it is what it is. 1 the pussy and belly button is not center aligned by a smidge. 2 Penis is drawn incorrectly or is bullshited (looks fake). 3 some parts of the hair looks lazy and flat. 4 line detail is inconsistent with brushwork and not linework or pencil. Most notably near the face. Study the Japanese steel or copy anime. 5 that back arm seems off but I'm not an arm expert. You just have to study more and fix your own mistakes. If you think it looks fucked it's most likely fucked.

>>6394332
Also how do you decide commission prices? I can't get anybody to pay me more than 10$

brushin off some rust from a long weekend break
gonna add a close up to the top right area

>>6394332
don't do that, I'd be happy with that as the finished piece.

>>6393470
gross

>>6394439
desu, he's drawn better stuff before

>>6394313
I need to work on facial expressions more/drawing faces. Thank you though, was hard to get feedback from anyone on this haha.
As for the colors i wanted to do what i do with pens and markers and just pick 2-3 and go for it.
>>6394333
No arguments there.

>>6394361
Don't undersell yourself. Colored picture is worth at least 25 bucks. More characters doing anything more than standing in a void is worth at least 40 bucks and even then the 25 and 40 bucks are bare minimums. Under-pricing yourself causes you more problems long-term than the quick pocket change you get from selling yourself cheap. Learn to say "No" if client tries to haggle. I tell my clients trying to haggle that each future haggling attempt raises the price by 25% and there haven't been any problem. Only around 5% of clients who tried to haggle cut the communication. When they contact you for commission they've already made the decision that they want art from you.

I wish my lewds were good enough to take commissions

Hypocrites

>>6395441
I dont draw for money you fucking hebrew, stop putting words in my mouth. I seldomly do comms, just every now and then if someone persistently asks and I like their OC.

>>6395452
Then explain why every artist has a patreon linked in their Twitter bio? If they aren't doing it for the money.

>>6395457
because most of them are quite literally basement dwellers that can't get a real job, so they gotta earn pennies somehow

>>6395461
Contradictory statements. If we follow your montra.

>>6395457
The time required to get good at art doesn't really allow for a full time career. Nobody is gonna want to spend the maybe 4 hours of free time you get as a wagie scribbling fundies.

literally who cares if someone draws for money or not
what daytime soap operas are you watching that makes you want to bitch about something as mundane as this? go draw

>>6395482
If it's your passion. Just draw at work. And dab on the haters. Ask boss to subscribe to your highest tier you pussies

I've literally finished two commissions and started another two since you've been working on this
wtf

>>6388047
Mostly just observation and breaking down why things look good/bad. Take more time looking at art that you enjoy and try to find parts that you don't like and explain to yourself what makes it not as good as it could be.

At some point you'll be able to pinpoint why things look "wrong" to you immediately and how you could make it look more complete.

Anatomy issues are usually the first thing to catch your eye as you improve your skills.

Does it look very bad?
(I would like any kind of advice)

Do you think like $20 is fair for something like this?
I would go back and add more detail to stuff like the feet if someone were actually paying for it

>>6395890
$15 at the minimum. $20 is pushing it but still fair game in my opinion. I wont be surprised though if the commissioner ask for a little more.

>>6395907
I think that's a fair evaluation
I'm trying to set a baseline for a future comm sheet; I've been experimenting with this thin constant-opacity brush and I really like how much faster I can sketch with it than what I was using before, but that's only because I'm not worrying about smart usage of lineweight when I use it.

>>6395890
This has very little appeal and on top of that is looks half assed. This is worth nothing.

>>6395890
Give her a flamethrower and then we'll talk.

>>6395907
>>6396122
>>6396149
You guys dont get any commisions
You can probably charge 40-50 dollars for that

>>6395890
too /beg/ to say anything about commissions but personally i would shrink her head a bit
>>6396122
>very little appeal
you’d be surprised what octozone fuckers would put up with

Not sure if I should ask this here, a different gen or board entirely but does anyone here know anything about making a nsfw visual novel?

>>6396347
Free VN makers exist so unless you have some innovative gameplay mechanics in mind you pretty much just need to draw some pictures and write
https://www.renpy.org/

Looking for a hero

>>6396433
Is she not wearing any clothes to be more aerodynamic and to find him faster that way?

>>6396347
>>6396405
Visual novels are boring and the reading makes me fall asleep. Just make your own game. Took me 3 months of pre-planning. And 3 weeks of actually programming.

>>6396463
What sort of gameplay does it have? porn games where you have to lose for the fapbait are lame

>>6396405
That’s really it, just draw and write? Don’t you need to know a bit of coding too for renpy?

>>6375011

>>6375011

>>6396492
The pussy looks unappealing
>>6396507
But this Deadpool picture is badass. Maybe add some color next time.

>>6396122
>>6396172
here's how it looks with the lines touched up, this took me about as long as the original sketch did

>>6396550
so technically, this is alright, the lines are crisp, some nice variation and the proportions look cute and serviceable. for the 'coom' market though, she's just naked, so, unless you're gonna use this as 'stock' example work for a commission sheet, this isn't much use for nsfw work. but maybe you would be better suited to draw sfw work anyway? point being, if you want some coom appeal, put her in some provocative/outright explicit situations, and you can charge more.

>>6396507
Kek that’s great anon

>>6396567
I've always been pretty bad at coming up with nsfw scenarios/poses but I'm glad the art itself looks okay. I can still do a lot to make her look sexier if I end up using it to advertise, this was mostly just a proportions test since I haven't drawn shortstacks much.

another wedgie comm
i've changed up my workflow a little and now I use multiply layers for the "cell-shaded" look like before, one for ambient light one for occlusions, then paint over it with good old hrb with opacity jitter. same as this >>6380073
>>6396550 >>6396580
yeah same here, I think I've realised, after many comms of all sorts, that the best kind of "sexy" for me is the really subtle stuff, I just don't get to draw it much at all. make sure you draw your kinda stuff too when you start taking comms anon ;_; and cute style
>>6396504
really like the faces again and great work on the hands
>>6396433
lovely and shapely yordle
>>6395909
amazing work as usual, I use you as one of my inspos and those outlines of the legs and abdomen are genuinely helpful for ways to "shortcut" those muscles

Did this 4 side comic during the weekend. Mind the corny plot and 1-liners, tried to keep it very paced on certain beats. Thoughts? Sorry for shit capturing, not in studio.

Quality definitely fell off a little bit in the end, just wanting to end the spontaneous story.

if this was a commission, what would be a fair price?

>>6396787
if you have 100 people willing to pay $30, you might have 10 willing to pay $50. if you have 1000 willing to pay $50, maybe you have 10 willing to pay $100. demand dictates the price. i was upfront and honest, said I wasn't sure how much to charge, and settled for $40 which was what people advised me to start with. i've not raised my prices because it doesn't seem realistic given I've put 0 effort into growing my acc (fanart, fotm etc)

>>6396795
just need a bigger audience then

>>6395615
>>6396787

>>6396853
I didnt find it so I made my own version

>>6395727
I get zero commissions currently. And i took a break to finish this one lol.

i finished a commission today

>>6397183
we dont wanna post anymore when the thread's past bump limit
great work. not sure what to crit when it's finished already so, great work. :)

>>6396787
If there is no demand "free" otherwise 10$

>>6396550
I'm >>6396122
Much better. You can't really put a price on an artwork just like that. The demand you have sets your prices. You have to first test the waters. Try with a price that suits the amount of work you put in and see if you get any clients at those numbers.
If you get more and more demand, then you can raise your prices, if people snub you, then it means that your prices are too high, or you just aren't famous enough yet.
This is how commission prices work.

>>6397183
Those fingers scream AI lol.
