Alternative Art/Stylization General

[Anonymous No.3708928]

What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title. However, by community demand and long history, this is favorably an Anime general.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting. (3) Share your knowledge and (4) Remember to not be afraid of asking for critique. Most importantly I encourage you to keep discussion at a civil level, but you're more than welcome to share your opinions.
>I came for anime. Why does the image OP say cartoons general?
To distinguish from the anime study thread (janitor supported). Please post your studies there and personal work goes here.

I like it so far

Give your shirt and torso a little bit more of volume, render some wrinkles to make like it has a little bit more weight

also, mind your head and neck placement, you have to define the form of the neck better, the way you drew your highlight makes it seem like a completely flat surface, try to give it some volume by shading the muscles on it

I started it in July and got to the base colors stage, then I lost interest, or, in other words, found coloring it too scary, and went on to do other pics instead. (Which filled 2 pixiv pages after that, including multiple collections, so about 2 hundred pics and doodles, I guess.) I think the lineart + basic coloring took me about 3 or 4 hours (since I remember greatly struggling with their relative poses), and the rendering, when I finally mustered the courage to do it on Saturday, took about 4 hours more.

>>3708604
Ok.

In the thumbnail, the uncolored one looks kinda better since the dark green color is not too appealing, but in the normal-sized pic, I like the colored one more because it clearly defines the parts.

Pose is stiff and uninteresting, and the lack of atmospheric perspective makes the figure in the foreground almost blend it with what's behind him. Also, try and bring better contrasting core light and core shadow colors next time. I understand the piece takes place a disk, but you can still have contrast even in low light situations. Lastly, remember that rim light still follows local color, albeit not as strongly as other types of light, so make sure you don't use an overly similar rim light color on two surfaces that have vastly different local colors (namely, the skintonr hand and the red hoodie).

As far as what's good, while I mentioned you didn't have a lot of contrast, the color pallet itself is strong, and the mountains closer to the viewer look great since they aren't so reliant on atmospheric perspective to look natural.

Pic related on the example for rim light. Notice that the color change is very subtle, but it's definitely noticable as it bounces off the different patches of colored fur.

[Anonymous No.3710538]

>>3710451
also, not a big fan of color palette. when everything is bright, nothing stands out

[Anonymous No.3710542]

>>3710535
only brightness of rim light changes, not the color. and only because there are different densities of fur that light passes through. it's got nothing to do with color patches of the animal. rim light is typically strong enought not to mix with underlying colors.
maybe got another example?

[Anonymous No.3710568]

>>3710542
>only the brightness of the rimlight changes, not the color
Inaccurate. I've picked a picture that has an even stronger light source that's artificial, and even then you can see the hue shifts. Depending on the albedo (see: reflectivity) of the surface, you will see more or less hue shifting. The more reflective, the more pure the the light bouncing off the surface stays to it's original light color. If you look at the the doll's face, the plastic surface has a very high albedo, unlike human skin. The plastic brown beard and the skin reflect a similar white light. However if you look at the jacket and cuffs near the hands, you can clearly tell the fabric has less reflectivity, and therefore the light shifts hue. It's very slight, but perceptable.

I should have clarified: with the surfaces you are attempting to render, the reflectivity is too low to not use local color in the rimlight. It looks very unnatural otherwise.

[Anonymous No.3710578]

>>3710568
Forgot to mention: this does not apply outside of white light. If you have a green light on a red patch of fabric, the fabric won't be red if there is no red spectrum to reflect.

[Anonymous No.3710580]

>>3710568
you are right about reflectivity, but thats exactly why only the brightness changes
what you see on the cuff is exactly what you see on the hand, which is subsurface scattering
the color of rimlight (white in that example) never changes, unless you consider grey a color (it's really a dimmed white)

Yes, the closer you get to the edge, the closer it gets to the light color, regardless of surface color, due to how reflection works. Ffs dude do I have to describe every fucking way I understand light before you take my critique? Are you even the guy I am critiquing?

>>3710871
Try to find a balance of warm and cool colors, or commit to either a variety of warm or variety of cool colors for a single design. You have really good value contrast, and I love the fabric near the opening of the shorts that really breaks up your design. The chain, hair shape, and horns look great too, and in my mind, I see it making a solid silhouette in profile just as well well as it does in frontal. Still, your pallet hovers around yellows, fleshtones and dull oranges throughout, which makes for a really boring visual design. As I mentioned earlier, you can usually either commit to a larger array of colors on one side of the color temp spectrum, or a spat from both. A few places where you can go with more saturated colors or colors that exist outside the dominant color temp (or both) are eyes, fingernails, and other smaller areas or accessories that don't take up a lot of canvas real estate and won't completely take over the piece from being too rich in color. Her eyes are already pretty saturated, but look at webm related.

In the webm, I mostly stayed in the warm colors, but added a bit more variety - mostly just red, but I toss in some very subtle purples on the nails. Was gonna do the chain and earrings in a cobalt blue as well, but it was too hard to magic wand. I didn't want to touch the hair because I felt her blond roots added a lot of character (and desu I didn't want to fuck with the original vision you had too much, so you can discover what works best not have my opinions taint anything you'd want to do)

Take everything I say with a grain of salt, though. Design can lean heavy on the subjectivity of the artist making the design in question. Most of it just comes down to creating visual interest though variety in shape, color, and character expression.

Make something else. If you keep on packing at the same piece, looking to perfect it oh, you're going to bring yourself out. It's good that you see mistakes in it,because that allows you to hit the ground running in your next bees knowing exactly what you need to work on, but having the same thing in your face for several days straight constantly fixing minutiaeis it going to wain on your confidence further than it needs to

Make something else.it's great that you still see flaws in this piece, but if you keep on working on the same thing, you are going to burn yourself out. Just move on. Use all the problems that you see now so that in your next work, you can hit the ground running and make sure those elements are correct, or at the very least better than you had done them previously

That's a unhealthy mindset that leads to crabism. Be happy that other guys are good too and just try to emulate some cool aspects about their work in your own way. To be honest I kinda like how the crab problem on /ic/ got better and how this place still has less of a arms race like other "social networks" where artists feel they need to constantly escalate and one up each other.

when I see art I like I can't help but feel like I want to surpass it not because i'm trying to be rude but more so that I like it so much it has pushed me to want to not just copy you but try and reach for my own higher goals by going the extra distance.

i think what's even more powerful than fetishes is creating characters people want to see more of, and some semblance of a narrative.

thanks for explaining it, I sort of get it better now, just one last question is it the same appeal as traps or are dickgirls like different or better?

[Anonymous No.3712270]

>>3712258
futa/dickgirls is different from traps/femboys which are different from twinks/bishounen

both are distinct and attract different interests. many heterosexual men like futa, despite all the 4chan memes it's a simple biological fact. gay men certainly don't care about futa as they are attracted to masculinity.

most people aren't really heterosexual or homosexual, its more like people are androphiles or gynophiles. that is, attracted to masculinity or femininity. (masculine cues or feminine cues). heterosexual men are gynophiles but the presence of a penis with a female body is still erotic to a certain subsect of hetero men.

traps/femboys are a hybridization of female and male traits. they are androgynous in some ways, but usually drawn with piump lips, wide hips, large asses, etc. so in a way you take an androgynous 'base' and apply feminine traits to this, and adding a penis of course. which is still mainly attracting heterosexual men as you have very little in the way of masculine traits. but these men are probably loosely hetero leaning bisexual likely.

then twinks/bishounen should speak for themselves. this is true homosex/bisex territory

for me personally, furry was the first place i experienced femboys, through onta's comics of marty & co specifically. for some reason i was obsessed with these comics but it took me a bit to figure out why when i didn't really feel the classical form of attraction towards marty that i usually had with other work hahdsf

Looks dynamic, but I'd like to see a inked version.

Cute and erotic! Post more

reminds me of Yume Nikki, very interesting choice of medium. Any reason for the 1pxiel lines? Like it.

Looks dynamic but still a bit sloppy, would look even cooler if you work on it a bit more! Looking forward to it!
>>3714534
Consider this the third request, I really like your style, very dynamic and aeon flux.
Just like with the guys above I would enjoy seeing a finished piece!

>>3714539
CUTE! You clearly got loads of potential but spending a bit more time on clean inks would make your image even cuter! Anon, I'm sure you can do even citer moe lolis in the future if you keep working hard.
>>3714542
Are you the aeon flux guy or do we have two of you?


Also you're all gonna make it, some faster, some will take their time, but this is a great thread and I really enjoy seeing so many diamonds in the rough. Makes my day every time checking out this thread. Thanks you guys and keep at it, looking forward to seeing you all improve even more with some hard work and dedication!

So should I just post my erotic art here? Why have a separate porn general in the first place

[Anonymous No.3714840]

>>3714837
i'm stupid don't do as i do, the porn thread had been dead for several days and i didn't wanna make one just so i could post my own art in it

How are you guys indicating Screentones in sketches? I looked at a lot of Berserk and don't know how to capture them while roughly copying the overall page.
Cheers!

[Anonymous No.3715819]

>>3715798
Some light hatching wouldn't look out of place i think, since Berserk's artstyle made heavy use of those

Well for one you dont need to be working on a fuck huge canvas like that.
And for two, honest advice, copy some artists for a bit. Do some studies of drawings you like and you'll understand how to make something appealing. You cant show off these studies, but you'll learn more than blindly trying to throw down colors without any understanding of what makes a picture look nice.
