It's much better to use reference from photos and better art and 3D posing tools, because a computer will do perfectly something like perspective calculation.

I've drawn from imagination from years, and I eventually realized that a computer will always draw better perspective than my brain.

I learned to do this shit this way after doing 3D fag shit in blender since 2017.

You learn to do a lot of these tricks if you do 3D shit, and learn to puppet poses if you try to do animation stuff, specially shit like cut out animation.

having a 3D pose doll is a better thing than trying to calculate using your head.

A computer will always do a more accurate perspective calculation than your brain.

I spent so many years drawing from imagination I developed good construction and visualization skills.

This is 100% from imagination, no reference used here.

In any case, after 2017 I started to realize I needed to use reference when drawing.
Plus I got into 3D, photobashing, graphic design, kitbashing, Substance painter and concept art workflows.

I've done enough work from imagination where I can use a 3D and 2D kitbash and just draw normally on top.

You do realize that references are supposed to be readable, right? And not the kind of "I get the general idea", kind of readable, but "enough to understand the details" kind of readable. None of these Dadaism looking ass clusterfucks look readable at all.
And that is without saying the amount of extra steps you have to do for something as basic as finding a reference. If you simply cant find a reference, you make one by holding all the images in one place and making the combinations IN YOUR HEAD, NOT LITERALLY ON THE CANVAS.

Why the fuck would I use a "legit" method that requires super autismo levels of effort to make, and is just a matter of luck, over a more reliable, cheaper method that doesn't require autismo levels of effort.

Why would the fuck I pick a slower and less reliable workflow?

I think my current sketch was sucessfull.

It really proved it can handle my workflow, a complex scene with 3 characters.
So that's a sucess in my eyes.

Also I learned valuable lessons, mostly that I need first to generate better vroid models to be posed, instead of that generic manequin.

Also need to figure out if I can import sprites in my posing app and composite inside the app to keep the perspective with the background correct.

And I need to figure out how to check the composition on my 3D app.

Mostly to improve the 3D step.

Games are not tech demos you grind out to demonstrate you know how to insert assets into a game engine, you're supposed to try to make them fun to play and appealing to look at. Something you've apparently gotten much worse at over time.

You do realize that, in order for you to make appealing art for whatever you intend it for, you need to either study the basics and fundamentals of art or hire a professional illustrator, right? You cant just bullshit your way through thinking you can make decent art while skipping learning about art, there is no method for such a thing, not even with AI. At this rate you'll ngmi, you're just pissing outside the bowl, as we say.
Also what's up with the "Im not an artist" excuse? You think that's going to excuse you from learning art? If you want to cover the art of your project, you HAVE to be an artist, idiot. Why do people use that excuse so consistently? Even I used to say it back in the day...

It's not. This is what most pro illustrators do when they're on a deadline.
The difference is they actually know how to draw and draft a couple pages of thumbnails to work out their composition before they go hunting for parts to Frankenstein, and they're actually efficient because they usually create their own photographic reference.
And they have enough knowledge of anatomy, perspective and aesthetics to know when to break the reference for the sake of appeal.

>no human can have such visual memory how to know every single angle?
I dont think you got the point of what I meant, but let me clarify myself since what I said was kind of lacking anyway.

What I mean is that, when you cant find a precise reference for something, you can simply create it yourself by grabbing as many useful images as you can (keeping them near you for quick consulting, I mean) and making the combinations for the whole composition inside your head while also changing some things to make the combinations make sense.
An example of this would be using three different draws to make a final draw based on A's legs, B's arms and C's facial expression. You acquire the references for each element you need separately, then combine them in your mind to have the general idea and accurately make the connections, while you have the original references at hand to for consulting the details of each element separately.

This method has helped me a lot whenever I have problems finding a reference, it's also a good way of studying poses and construction as you're essentially doing what OP did but in your head and making the corrections there and on the canvas. Granted, this method gets more difficult to pull off depending on the elements you need to combine, and the incompatibilities can be a pain to deal with too.

To answer your question, no, Im not talking about visual memory here, it's about using references and mental construction.

All you have to do is actually try and don't consciously convince yourself otherwise with every living breath.

He doesn't have any deficiency, he's just a narcissist. He was legit better when he was trying to draw but that took effort and he can't allow himself to put effort into anything because his ego would crumble at the indignity of working for what he wants instead of just getting it automatically for just existing.

I was calling myself a narcissist for years but only learned today that it doesn't mean that you see yourself better but are aware of downfalls so you're trying to actually get better than other people.
Now that I see OP I see it means an absolute inability to see your actions as facts and instead seeing them as some godsend acts of perfection that every other human is too dumb to understand.

At least TempleOS was eventually an actual working and impressive product. Here we've got an absolute nothing to help him think that yet he does. He lacks the most basic level of self-reflection in his brain, he straight up cannot see facts.

Sorry. there is no magic pill buddy.

You don't even care about any of the things that go into making a game. Why are you making a game if you have no passion for art, music, writing, game design or programming?

>But.... art.... or some shit like that
How can art not be your focus when programming a VN has the complexity of a powerpoint? You're saying essentially you want no part in the process of creating your game. The genre is completely carried by the art, music and writing. There is no gameplay.

People will be able to tell that no passion went into your game, that your game has no vision or coherency.

In this scenario, you have been kicking a soccer ball against a wall for 10 years straight, telling every passerby that you'll be big one day, that you'll play on a real team and make a name for yourself.
But whenever someone tells you that you should join a soccer class, or try out for a junior team, or at the very least play actual soccer against some children
you just shout
>SHUT UP! I AM NOT AUTISTIC!
and go back to kicking the ball against a wall.

Why do retards always assume that because I do gamedev as a hobby, and I spent literally hours every day practicing and studying every skill, and I try to improve as much as realistically I can, and that I joke about being rock lee, and like making millions from gamedev.

Can't people easily tell something is a joke?

Are most people delusional or like they think I can make an AAA game with 50 hours of content?

Why the fuck people assume I want to spend 7 years in a single project?

Like why people see a random guy playing in a town park, like he has bought like paid tools and has nice setup, and is like doing music in a random town and there's a donation box with some coins.

Like why the fuck people like automatically hear that guy, like he jokes about being a world class super star, and making millions.

Why the fuck they ask about like why can't you like get a record deal and like enter the music industry and do social media musician autismo and try to create a publishing label and working towards becoming shakira???

Nigger, you spent almost two decades stressing over muh workflow. If you just learned the fundies and use the work you'd put out, you would have gotten good and finished your dream waifu VN LONG ago. You want an automated workflow to speed shit up, despite going at this for TWENTY. FUCKING. YEARS. Accept that there is no workflow and you have to create all those cutscenes the hard way. It'll be much easier on you.

You want art for your game, so just puss out and use AI. It's not up to your standards, but it's the closest to the magical "workflow" you desperately want. If not, then quit bitching and just draw.

You're a NGMI permabeg not only in art, but in game development. You've already spent 1/4th of your life on this useless endeavor. If you ever want to complete this game before your death, you need to change your mentality on how you're going to get it done. Else, cut your losses and give the fuck up.
