Why don't you have an art project anons?

[Anonymous No.4714860]

The grind is more fun and personally interesting when you work on something you like passionately. It could be an animation, comic, game art, etc.
Do any of you guys have a project you want to work on or are currently working on?

because 138k frames of animation doesn't just fall out of the sky.

I'm working on a bunch of requests for the League of Legends general, but once I've finished those I'll be returning to WoW, and with my return there's a piece of art I've been meaning to really to put my heart and soul into (since Warcraft, the franchise not just WoW, was a big part of my life and got me into art in the first place).

Just do it anon! You don’t have to post it, but gotta start somewhere.

[Anonymous No.4714986]

I do.
>1 VFX/montaged fanmade story idea that's over 15 minutes long that I've been on since last July(Bought over 30 movies for the sake of editing)
>1 3 minute fake movie trailer idea that's less refined and more sloppy that I've been on since last Thursday
>A slice of life comedy webcomic that only exists so I can learn how to be consistent with a schedule(Gotta draw 2 pages this afternoon)
>A big story that I've been on since 5th grade, have a sketchbook, always draw stuff for it at least once a week
Remember, if you don't do it, nobody will. Sure there's like hundreds of stories about similar stuff like superheroes in high school, but only 1 guy could've thought of an award winning alien movie that's a metaphor for African Apartheid, only one guy could've thought of the story of space wizards and samurai in a space war, only one man could make the story of a monkey boy who shoots lazers out of his hands and grows glowing yellow banana hair. Don't wait for it to happen, make it happen

I’ve been working on comic projects since I learned how to draw. It feels weird when I’m not working on something. But my issue is that I have so many ideas that my series are short and don’t often have an ending.
Lately I’ve been sharing my stuff online but I fall into the comparison trap, social media promo struggles, etc so there have been days I’ve been so miserable I can’t find a “following” that I waste the day on self-pity. It’s dumb.

What is going on here.

[Anonymous No.4718919]

>>4714974
Thanks bro, big details are my specialty but what I'm most worried about is how to handle all the multiple characters that weren't present in the original piece, but were in the original vision.
>>4717840
The pieces title is "Unbreakable Loyalty of the Sun". I used to play/RP an Alliance loyal Blood Elf Paladin because I disagreed heavily with Blizzard's writing decisions regarding the Blood Elves and their forced inclusion to the Horde, and how it never made sense that the entire race would go red.

So I did my own thing (and got a lot of praise for doing it well when I used to play). And will continue to do so when I return to WoW for the first time in 7 years in two weeks.

Yes I am drawin a comic. I’ve lost count but I am around 100 pages in.

[Anonymous No.4719148]

>>4714860
I'm just kinda void of ideas because of depression unrelated to art (Family stuff to make it simple)
but I am working on small commissions for friends since they'll handle my slow pace and praise me up and down even if I'm not 100% happy with the product.

Friend right now is having me draw her nude for her boyfriend's birthday present. It's fun so far, i get to practice stylizing from photos, I got sent a free ass nudie, and I'll get to experiment with a coloring style for it since she doesn't have anything super specific in mind. Ngl kinda wanna see if I can get interest in drawing pin-ups for gifts like this for people. I'm part of a self-love pin-up group on facebook (I got invited and just kinda never left) so I wonder if i could generate interest there. I mean as much as I want to make a game or animate a series I also ultimately just wanna draw cute girls.

I am working on a Tarot deck. I’ve settled on an overall theme between the cards and am coming up with little sketches while playing with color schemes and drawing the characters in different ways before I settle on a particular style.

I was planning a comic but somewhere between trying to learn how to write an interesting story and thinking of a way to have it all in one place instead of dumping it anywhere as I do regular art I ended up procrasting until I gave up.

[Anonymous No.4730558]

Because I’m improving too fast to end up with something consistent.
I can’t create ten pieces of art without thinking the first one looks like crap, and working on a project just has me in endless spirals of redrawing things.

[Anonymous No.4730574]

>>4714860
Started drawing in the first place to make comics. I just dove right in and used it for practice, made ~440 pages or something like that before finally giving up on that one (it was, as one might expect, shit).
Without that project keeping me drawing I didn't consistently practice for the next few years. I kept bouncing around ideas for more comics and even going so far as to panel them out but whenever I hit the inking stage I gave up every time.
Then I just kind of stopped drawing completely for a couple of years. Continued having comic ideas and accumulated those into a doc.Over time I built a setting and a story and characters with plans to "eventually" try again at making a comic.
Then I started doodling, that snowballed into planning out comics again (this time porn comics), again always giving up beyond the sketching phase but I nonetheless paneled/sketched another hundred or so pages.
Then I caught wind of the Tezuka contest so I put together a 55 page submission based on the comic ideas I had been putting together and now I've finished 11 pages.

Enjoy my gay blog I guess.

I'm working on stuff, but I'm trying to figure out how to monetize it. My predicament is that I literally can't afford to spend time on it unless I make money off of it since I'm barely getting by. I'm also not sure how I need to handle some of it.
I want to do some coom comics that I think I could fund through patreon, and I want to do some sfw comics that I think I could put on webtoon/tapas but I found out I'll have to completely rework the patreon I already set up for my sfw things or just make a separate one just for webcomics altogether.
I feel...stuck.

I'm saving all my ideas for when I get good enough.
Badly executed idea and dissatisfaction, frustration >>> not realized idea for my monkey brain. I'm afraid of "wasting ideas".
With how the things are going I will never get anything done though.

[Anonymous No.4732968]

>>4732255
I am pretty much in the same situation as you but you gotta ask yourself if this approach is working, it is not.

Don't save your ideas, face the dissatisfaction and build habits of drawing no matter the result. Otherwise you will never get to that point where you think you can finally tackle your projects. It's an ego issue, get rid of that if you truly want to make something out of yourself. And it's all valid regarding myself as well. It's a post to myself.

Just start it anon, trust me, you learn so much by just doing it. your first one will probably suck because you don't know what the hell you're doing but actually drawing the thing is worth more than sitting around planning everything beforehand.

[Anonymous No.4733040]

I work on a comic and several personal projects that kind of sit in a limbo state. I had to deal with the commission grind so that I could pay some bills, which left me burnt out and kind of frustrated.

I haven't really drawn a whole lot for the past couple of months that hasn't been for money or comic related. The most I've done is go back to my collection of unfinished work and cleaned it up. It's the best I can come up with in terms of a middle ground of making something new that isn't for someone else.

It's hard, dude.

[Anonymous No.4733098]

I've tried many times but they've all crashed and burned, or are stuck in limbo because I'm even worse at everything else than I am at drawing so at this point I think I'd rather work on other people's projects or make mods for applicable games.
