/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Here's a self portrait I drew. It isn't kawaii because reality isn't kawaii.

thanks Danny-chan

I'm losing faith in you.

Serves you right.

Get the fuck back to /a/vg/

>>12045259
deep as hell

>>12045264
>>12045277
It's beautiful. Danny is being scolded by /jp/ autism force

>>12045291
Back to your shithole /a/spie.

>>12045295
What makes you think I browse G/a/ia?

>Dan Kim attentionwhoring in the OC thread
its fuckig over.

>>12045342
Dan and /ic/ need to leave

Janitor, please delete this thread.

>>12045342
Who are you quoting?

I made this comic, please enjoy.

>>12045489
Change the brush settings at least Dan.

>>12045505
I'm not DAn I'm just a plagiarist

>>12045721
the proportions on your chairs are all wrong do it over

>>12045249
i only see a marisa with a gun and a homu

>>12045719
who is plagius now

>>12045746
you stole even my most secret nuances...

>>12045762
because I like you

>>12045773
I think I could like you, too

OC thread how do I deal with the crushing feeling of worthlessness that I have always felt towards my own work and my abilities as a writer? I try to do stuff every couple of days which is rather good for me but afterwards I look it over and get all angry with myself for thinking that idea XYZ would have ever been good and I delete everything and usually give up and spend a day wandering around town aimlessly or watching pointless slice of life anime. Actually pitching ideas to other people is even harder to do since I generally hate talking to people and am afraid of failure and whenever I am rejected I always resolve to never talk to that person ever again out of embarrassment. This is directed to Dan Kim in particular since he seems to be able to produce work despite similar brain problems.

>>12045919
meditate

>>12045928
I suppose that might at least help with my anxiety. I will promise /jp/ to try and meditate tonight since I don't really know anyone else I am comfortable talking to about this.

>>12045937
I was lying. You have to drink until the embarrassment and shame leave your body so you can write again.

>>12045940
I already tried drinking and it just made me want to commit suicide.

>>12045948
that's pretty dark

>>12045919
you remember when you were a little kid? what was the nomal procedure to do anything apart playing?
1. sit down
2. do it
3. not good?
4. try again.
just that.

>>12045969
Okay. I will try.
I just need to force myself out of the following rut:
Sit down > do it > not good (?) > hate myself

>>12045974
Fuck off dude nobody cares. My god how was this not the first reply you got.

>>12045989
he's replying to his own posts, I checked

>>12045974
why, you can keep hating yourself while doing things. the trick is to not expect it to be good, just finished.
>>12045994
too bad that he quoted me.

>>12045999
>too bad that he quoted me.
anyone can lie on the internet you sad, sad little man

>>12045999
Thank you for responding.

>>12046004

>>12046013
Completely wrong but interesting. I like it

>>12046016
That's some slick photoshopping skills but I'm sticking to my guns.

Sup /jp/ I totally didn't copy this bad drawing straight from a reference

>>12046044
nice

>>12046044
now we can reference it easy 2gether

I drew this at the end of last year but whatever

>>12046096
Is she in the crew of the Jellyfish Pirates?

Since other people were posting their music.

>>12046106
Alice is a chuuni who thinks she's a magical girl. She also gets bullied a lot at school and has health problems. Be nice ;_;

>>12046218
>Alice is a chuuni who thinks she's a magical girl.
I have an issue with that. Why do all these girls believe that they're magical? Why are there none who fancy themselves to be Norse berserkers, Golden Age pirates or Roman centurions?

I want pretty high school girls to drink the hallucinogen-contaminated piss of other pretty high school girls and start mauling each other while thinking that they're bears.

>>12046256
Because magical girls wear pretty outfits with lots of frills, have a magical talking pet, and usually a love interest. Alice has none of these.

>>12046256
Sounds like something my dad would like, if these schoolgirls were tall buff black women.
So that sounds pretty gross to me.

>>12046279
I'd say it's more similar to the first Sonohana game, except instead of a blonde upperclassman, your onee-sama is the gallows-god Odin.

All-oneesama does not quite have the same ring as Allfather, though.

/r/ alice being bullied by bullycat

>>12046013
Some wonky anatomy stuff going on, especially with those legs. Cute face though, keep trying anon. I like it.

>>12046183
Very nice to drink tea to.

>>12046365
Indeedy, it is. After reading your post, I decided to listen to it while enjoying a cup.

warning: very lewd

warning: very lewd

?

Is anyone going to Sakuracon? If so, maybe drop by the artist alley to say hello? I-It would be cool, we can talk about jaypee things. （´；ω；｀）

>>12046951
I'll be there to throw an egg at you.

>>12046951
I'm in europe, thank god

>>12046911
The feet looks a bit too big.
Other than that, it looks excellent.

Did the anon who was working on the 2hus watching a movie ever posted the final thing? The last thread is gone.

>>12045259
you inspired me into making a self portrait.

>>12047178
Give him time

>>12045249
I see you there, Erika.

>>12047180
you look really gross

>>12047191
I know. now /jp/ related

>>12047195
This is really epicly disgusting. I'm not gonna touch this thread even with a 10 foot pole.

Guess I'm waiting for the next oc thread.

>>12047199
No don't go, please don't leave me with him

>>12047178
I suppose the last he posted is final since it had the "small" in the title and looked finished. Check the archive of your trust.

>>12047195
I like the teeth

>>12046256
I want to be a pilot ;__;

Why are the drawthreads such shit? Where do I go to draw with other people and actually have fun? Even the flockdraw is shit.

>>12047233
if the thread is so bad then you make it not shit

>>12046911
I want to lick tewi's cummy crotch!

>>12047236
There's no point polishing a turd. I for one refuse to post any drawings until the all the "self portraits" are deleted. Self portraits aren't /jp/ related.

>>12047180
Wow so lifelike.
I showed my buddies right now and they think its funny as hell, they're gonna post it on facebook.

>>12047249
very nice meme

>>12047252
only the finest memes :^)

>>12047236
I can't do that by myself. Posting art wouldn't make it better, it's the attitude in here, it's gotten horrible.

>>12047261
How so?

>>12046183
I wanted to try something a bit more different.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1shisNXM8QN

>>12047256
Please stop using that jewish emoticon.

>>12046183
>>12047485
I like them, I'm almost tempted to make an arrangement in my style.
The first one gives a feeling of soft motions, with sudden movements out of nowhere - like drunk boxing, but elegant and calm.
The way the second piece uses the same buildup with different endings gives me a feeling of looking at the same thing from different angels.
Especially the one nice sounding amidst them makes me picture the rare smile of a father, who spends most of the time scolding his son.

I really like letting associations run wild when I listen to instrumental tracks. It gives the music a little more personality for me.
That's also how I find my working titles for my own songs. I don't like telling them to others though, since I'm curious what everybody else is reminded of.
Also they are often quite silly and embarrassing.

Having said all that, here's a faster piece. No classical music. You have been warned.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s091KoVB2Mwu

>>12047485
Groovy, very relaxing but at the same time it has a sense of dread. Like I'm about to find out the unsettling truth.
>>12047732
Feels like a battle theme, I like it.

Too bad Dan is gone, I wanted to ask him to draw something

>>12047180
Go back to your coffin, Count Orlok. You aren't a NEET.

>>12047821
email him and tell him to give your request special treatment because you shitpost on 4chan

>>12047732
I can post the scores if you'd like, also nice melodies, I like how you develop them.

>>12045249
Someday I will contribute something to one of these OC threads. But not today.

>>12047180
>>12047195
Don't listen to them, selfie anon. I think it looks great except for that right arm.

>>12047955
Someday I will get some sick dubs like yours in one of these OC threads. But not today.

>>12047979
nice

>>12047485
I really like this
Please put up a download

>>12047973
thank you very much for the kinndness
>>12047842
actually it was my favorite movie when I was younger.

>>12048223

are you one hundred years old?

>>12046911

excellent work son

>>12046911
Uncensored please?

>>12047180
Reminded me of this.

does anyone know what's happening with maid-street-fighter-developer-san? i haven't been following for the last few oc threads.

aside from MS paint, what's a good drawing program to use?

>>12048590
SAI
Photoshop
Painter

GIMP is crap

I was supposed to draw that girl from Zveza via request from anon.

general sketch is down but im too lazy to post. ill get around to it when im not as busy.

I made these.

>>12048753
Ouch.

>>12048755
that looks like a grown up /jp/

why is she dressed like a slut? did something happen?

>>12048769
It's obviously a beach scene.

>>12048769
This isn't the first time I heard that. I just really like braids and glasses.

Maybe I should give her bows?

>>12048769
Please don't mention that abomination created by some roleplaying retards from /a/

>>12048772
Wasn't she created by someone from /v/? They made the /v/ vs /b/ comic.

>>12048772

It was made by /v/ and every comic she's in is about videogames.

>>12048772
>>12048774
How do you guys know this stuff
I tried reverse image searching it but nothing came up so I figured it was original

>>12048777
it's something completely different, unrelated to what was posted.

>>12048777
Consider using archives next time.

>>12048782
Google's Reverse Image Search feature will naturally find results from almost any of 4chan's archives.
I would really recommend trying it out if you haven't already, I've found a lot of stuff using it, and it only takes a few clicks.

>>12048240
do you only watch new movies?

>>12048777
we know this stuff because we've been on 4chan a long time, duh.

ive been here 9 years. almost everyone whos been here a long time knows about the /v/ comics

>>12048806
Only us oldfags eh

>>12046183

Ah I wish I could create music this nice. So far music has been the hardest part. Hearing the same music over and over also makes me really tired so I can't work on it for long.

I was too hasty in posting.

>>12048753
>>12048755
And they're shit.

>>12048753
>>12048755
Its shit indeed, but I find her pretty cute.
do next one /jp/ related. or lewd.

>>12048753
>>12048755
I like them. They're probably shit but they're cute enough for me to enjoy.

>>12048753
>>12048755
these are really really bad

>>12048753
>>12048755
Silly faces aren't an excuse to draw poorly. Even silly faces need proper perspective and consistent (not necessarily life-like accurate) anatomy.

>>12048240
no but I'm older enough to have watched Yokai Ningen Bem and Ogon Bat
>>12048359
why did you save that
>>12048753
>>12048755
braids are cute. that is all I can say

>>12048844
Reminds me of horror movies, like a dark hospital scene.

>>12048844
Its just me or its a bit too dark?can't see shit

>>12049428
probably your monitor needs to get readjusted

>>12048832
But it's not hard at all, and you don't have to listen to it over and over, I didn't at least.
Can you post your music? I want to hear it.

>>12048844
What is that thing on the lower left?

>>12049005
You're right, I do need to put more effort into these. Even if I'm making them unfunny on purpose, but why am I doing that anyway..?

I'll make the next comic funny and put more effort into it.

>>12048327

Today I came up with something for an instrument I actually play.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0uF6oCJbtwV

I'm a bit rusty, it doesn't sound as clean as I'd like it to be.

>>12049746
I like it.

>>12049674
don't worry, rage-comic-kun
I still like your art

I feel that /jp/ would rather leave the old /v/ behind though

You can't draw.

>>12049738
Lewd!

>>12049674
I don't understand why you'd put so much effort into what's basically still a stick figure. Try drawing their head normally. And quit putting unfunny things on her shirt.

>>12049512
the exit back to the blown out hallway.

>>12049510
It's not very good but here are the two I have so far.

Today I work on GUI though so today will be an easy day.

>>12049833
>what is stylized art

>>12049907
Not that.

>>12049907
greentext is only for memes you idiot lol

>>12049746
this is a drawing inspired to your song.

>>12049934
Oh god, thank you. I'll edit this as the album cover of the mp3.

>>12049944
I'm glad you enjoyee it
feel free to edit it as you please

>>12049979
This makes me hungry

>>12049875
You coul try repeating the same idea on different diatonic intervals to make it more interesting.
The second one is pretty good except for 0:33, it just sounds really harsh.

>>12050040
You could also try syncopating the drums before they get too boring.

>>12050040

Okay. I will have to fix those when I go back to working on music. I'm not sure how to reduce the harshness. although I'm not really sure what I wanted. I guess I want some sort of distortion that doesn't go too far.

>>12050118

>>12050118
>although I'm not really sure what I wanted
This is very important, stumbling in the dark is not fun.

>>12050225
I like her expression. Arms and hands are incredibly small though.

>>12050225
What is that expression supposed to convey?

>>12050299
"I can't draw"

>>12050225
is cirno on heroin?

>>12050318
aren't you?

whos the autistic guy critiquing everyone's work without contributing anything of his own?

>>12050329
Probably the same guy who used to spam
"maginigger" constantly when Magister used to post.

>>12050329
i like to call him mr. awkward because he loves using the word awkward to describe things he doesn't understand

>>12050329
>>12050330
>>12050331
It's not just one person, I post a couple of the critiques. I just want to see people improve. Saying it looks awkward sounds nicer than saying it looks fucked up, I'm worried someone would end up dismissing it as "bullying".

>>12050318
cirno just wants to feel good again!

>>12050335
i get where you're coming from but saying a limb looks awkward or not right isnt exactly constructive criticism as its just saying "something off here" instead of saying "the limb looks weird because the perspective is off/you need to work more on getting the depth of field looking more natural"
I totally get what you mean, but being vague about things not only shows you dont know much about drawing but also shows that whatever critique you give wont help much since, its vague.

Aside from criticism these threads are more about fun and taking it easy than anything else, if they want to have someone scrutinize their drawings from a drafting standpoint they can go to /ic/, it should be a no brainer that the quality in these threads is not so good, and everyone who contributes knows they arent great, so most of the folks here who arent 100% autistic are aware of how poorly they draw.
Not every drawing needs to be analyzed unless they ask for it. its just a general doodle thread and nothing serious.

>>12050373
If only more people read your post.

How are you guys making music? I can't play an instrument.

>>12050416
I haven't posted any music in here, but I use a synth and digital piano running into my computer where i then mix and master.

However, I'm pretty much a dying breed with any electronic music production. Some artists (especially EDM producers) have never used any "traditional" instrument - these guys can make music entirely in the DAW of their choice. MIDI music can be done with even simpler software.

>>12050368
ass-to-ass!

>>12050416
ah sorry, i was meant to expand on with this >>12050625

You could probably make music yourself if you've got the drive to do so. A kinda /jp/ related example is CombatPlayer who did the music for Juniper's Knot (sorry for OEVN). Quoting his page though:
>I was never educated in music, and know no fancy terms or techniques - I am 100% self taught. I have tried many different DAW's in the time I've worked with music, but so far my DAW of choice is definitely FL Studio.

I was taught the basics back in high school but this guy learned everything through sheer determination (and I'm pretty sure he produces everything in FL too).

>>12050368
This made me feel pretty bad...

What became of that Marisa game?

>>12050848
wasn't that finished?

>>12050416
Get a DAW and learn to use it, the only difference between them is the workflow, you don't even need to play an instrument.

>>12050958
I don't know I haven't looked at these threads for a while and the archive, well it's down.

>>12051584
Would love tenderly.
