Any coloring tips for Ibis Paint X?

>>45316235
ok

Thread's off to a good start, that's a really good Hina!

>>45326127
Oh wow that's amazing! I really like that.

>>45326127
I like it a lot. Cute art style.
You should draw her having sex!

>>45326110
Use more solid colors. It looks muddy.

>>45327877
These colors can work if he uses a lighter, more colorful lineart.

>>45327877

Questions for the machine learning anon. I'm trying to get into machine learning. Is there a book, classes, or tutorial you recommend for beginners. I need a roadmap to getting good at machine learning.

>>45329836
See this guide from /g/: https://rentry.org/machine-learning-roadmap
Everyone starts with classic ML, usually linear regression is the first thing you learn. If you already know some statistics or linear algebra, it'll be easy. Otherwise, watch 3blue1brown's Essence of Linear Algebra series, StatQuest, CrashCourse etc, there's a great free course from MIT OCW on linear algebra. The field is huge and there's tons of great books, Youtube videos and lectures out there so just pick up whatever looks interesting to you.
As for books pretty much everyone agrees The Elements of Statistical Learning is the best introduction. Then you can move on to literally anything. Here's a repo with all sorts of books and papers: https://github.com/tirthajyoti/Papers-Literature-ML-DL-RL-AI/tree/master

Also, I dun it. https://streamable.com/hj9izy

There's this too

>>45330679
Yeah, I actually extend this with a more complex dataset, but only on EoSD images. I plan to collect data from 4 games like they did and properly compare results.

>>45330638
Thanks anon.

>>45326143

thanks friends
>>45327855
no sex!
>>45326110
i don't know too much about ibispaint but i'd recommend using a higher opacity while setting down your base colors and then you can lower back it while adding shadows/highlights if you'd like.
i'd also recommend experimenting with colors on skin tones. shading skin with greys/blacks can look a bit dull compared to shading with oranges or reds

>>45330638
What are the steps to making an AI capable of beating a touhou game. Also, can you share a pdf of your research or does your university prevent that. I wouldn't be able to understand it but one day I might. I wonder how long it takes to get good at AI or is it already too late for a guy like me in my late 30s. I know the math and coding part.

I'm requesting the legendary Hina drawing anon from those flockdraws to return.

>>45332975
>using a higher opacity while setting down your base
>Shading with color instead of black
Noted

I did some Muge but completely forgot about the 128x128 res when making the portraits and made her ribbon too small or something.
Not confident in how to hands nor perspective in pixel art so I did some variations. Really should have planned the pose more before deciding to add a cup.

And also forgot to send my post in the last thread so guess I'll put them here
>>45299618
This one looks like she might actually pull the trigger, the mood feels way darker than in the ref pic. Lovely.
>>45311046
Wow, this looks really good, really like the lighting and the eyes(all of them).

God I wish I were this skull

Drew something michievous
Anyway what kind of underwear Seija would wear?

>>45338425
she canonically wears pink underwear

>>45338425
Pink, frilly, cutesy stuff
Bra color is canon pink

>>45333086
Making the algorithm that actually analyzes the pixels and plays the game is part of another branch of ML called reinforcement learning, and I only focus on the supervised learning part in my project.
I would link the original paper I based it on because it's way more professional but I believe they prohibit distributions, I had to email one of the authors to get it. Here's my document as images though it still needs work. https://catbox.moe/c/beg1uf#gallery-1

Amazing work AI anon!

This machine learning stuff is going to be the death of artist in like 20 years from now. Right now generative AI art is boring and sovlless but that's not going to be the case in 2 decades from now.

>>45351970
>This machine learning stuff is going to be the death of artist in like 20 years from now

More like 20 months from now.

>>45351970
>>45351984
just two more weeks huh?

>>45352014
lmao you either haven't been paying attention or more likely are in denial.

Let me guess, you are from /v/

>>45351984
I pulled that 20 years number out of my ass. But in truth the AI thing has been improving exponentially. It's beyond my peanut brain's ability to comprehend.

>>45351970
>20 years from now
I've already seen dumbasses throwing out accusations like this artist's using AI or assisted by AI or tracing AI or timelapses were generated by AI.
Death of artist is already happening not by the AI itself, but rather by paranoid chucklefucks.

Literally everyone here is a hobbyist. What are even the point of these posts? "Stop enjoying what you are doing"? "Waste your time doing something else because I don't like you"? If you want to argue with twitter subhumans you should go there, instead of here.
All of these taunts at artists that I've seen here and there in the past months seem like a complete waste of time to me, just bored teenagers first attempt at trolling, trying to get a reaction from other people minding their business.

>>45352505
I just like to warn the new artist about the impending doom of AI. If you're getting into art because it's a fun hobby then keep doing what you're doing. But if you're doing this for selfish reasons such as attention, praise, or profit then you're wasting your time because you're not going to be able to compete with AI in a few years from now.

>Literally everyone here is a hobbyist.
Citations needed. Did you do a survey to find out how many are only doing this as a fun hobby? How many of these guys want to create a VN, game, or art related project for fame/profit/paetron paypigs.

>>45352260
AI traced art is all over pixiv and patreon. I haven't heard anybody on 4chan be accused of tracing. Especially not in these OC threads.

>>45352636
Well "thanks" for the warning. Now please fuck off. You literally have containment threads in several boards to discuss this, and if you want to be a smartass and keep fighting with hysterical artists, you have twitter.

Just report him for trolling outside of /b/

No wonder Nitori is looking like she just reached her favorite part of the episode then.
Not sure if Marisa is enjoying the show or if she's just about to snap and beat up the fae and vamp.
They look pretty cute, especially tiny medi. Dunno if it's due to the thick lines but the drawing also feels pretty tiny.
>>45359060
Pretty, I like the shading, the clothing in particular looks good with a nice sense of depth.
And her skirt being like water reflecting the sky and her rainbow things like in AoCF is a nice detail.
My only nitpick is the ear looking too square imo. Although in pixel art it's hard to tell when things are too square or too round.

Good day, /jp/.

gonna try different perspectives next time like anon said

>>45365047
I feel like my balls are in danger.

how are you guys so good at drawing?

>>45365047
Don't see much perspective use here, but looks very nice.

>>45365090
I would tell but there are so many great guide channels on Youtube these days that you might as well go watch those instead. And draw more of course.

>>45365090

Good morning Anon. That's a beautiful Ran!

>>45365047
Good luck. I find the things you draw very appealing. She seems one sudden move away from having a wardrobe malfunction (but that's a good thing)

>>45365090
I don't consider myself as good as some anons here, but draw what you like. When you don't like how you are drawing anymore, go study and practice, to draw better those things you like. When you don't know how to draw something, go look at pics, how it looks irl, at how other people draw stuff, etc. You can't draw something if you don't understand the subject. For example, my work notes are right now full of skulls and skellingtons because I had no idea how to draw them.

And try to draw every day. Even if it's 30 minutes when you don't want to, or hours when you feel inspired. It all helps.

Organizing game development of any kind on 4chan is always a dysfunctional idea and if you take it elsewhere it's no longer a "/jp/" game. Even something like a simple old-school Flash game would be pushing it.

>>45370655
Erm, mister, you quoted the wrong post

>>45370667
The threads in that cross-thread post seemed to be about gamedev.

>>45370681
That is correct, yes, but taking into account my originally quoted post and the picture of that other thread's OP I think it's pretty obvious what I'm referring to (the sexy negro Reimu)

mspaintanon will you ever get a tablet or atleast a screen with touch or you are going keep being a man with a mouse.

>>45370655
I could see it within the realm of possibility if and only if a single anon does 99.9% of the work and takes suggestions from other anons, like for example, a Touhou shmup where anons design levels, boss spellcards, dialogue/plot, and character designs for a 100% original OC Touhou themed cast while some programmer anon pieces everything together. The odds would still be absurdly slim as the entire project would live or die on the mental fortitude of a single man, but it would at least be nonzero given the amount of solo devs out there.
>>45369272
Impressive work to everyone involved.

>>45365556

That's pretty cool. It's rare seeing somebody who can make arrangements around here. What is your process like?

>>45381458
>>45383326
Thank you! Usually, I find a reference song for the structure and go from there, it’s always been the part I’ve struggled with most. I usually start with some chords, then the baseline, the lead, and then build it all up. Sound design is one of the things that takes the longest because I like to have the sound reflecting the characters/stages that I’m composing for, like for an example I’m working on an arrangement of Tsukasa and Megumu’s theme where the synths all sound sparkly like the starry sky for Meguumu and the bass is rugged like the Youkai Mountain itself for Tsukasa. It’s the most tedious part of the process but it adds so much more character.

Lovely stuff. Now be a dear and draw Mayoom.

this is just a copy but it came out cute looking so i'm happy anyway

>>45390926
That's called tracing.

>>45390990
i thought tracing was specifically when you copy by overlaying the canvas on the picture you're copying

>>45390990
Not that anon but there's a distinction, tracing is doing your lines over the other drawing. Just following the lines.

Copying is observing the other drawing and trying to replicate while looking at it. You have to actively think how to do it to make it come the way it does in the reference
It is really helpful to make you understand how stuff works

My layer! I'll be drawing Christmas gift drawings on paper for my family the next month, so not sure if I'll be able to draw much 2hu for a while. Had a lot of fun drawing with everybody the other day. Also, rabbit rabbit!

I made another arrangement, this time Nu-Disco/Electro House of UN Owen and Centennial Festival. I wanted my Patche arrange to sound cute but here I focused more on Flan's creepy side, my only gripe is that it sounds quite amateurish in places but it's nothing that can't be fixed in time for when I put it on an album.

First art after reinstalling CSP. It's an absolute joy to be able to draw again.

It's definitely better for drawing and art in general. It's lighter too from experience.

>>45418395
What about brushes?

>>45418455
Practically the same from what I know. Both has the same features when it come making custom brushes.

>>45418577
Ok I might consider it

in rehab

>>45419990
Which 2hu is this?

>>45419990
I'm going out on a limb and guessing its Yukari. Of the characters that wear mobcaps (Yuyuko, Chen, Minoriko, etc) very few of them wear a bow on top and even fewer wear the bow in the front (Remilia and Flandre wear them both to different sides). It's interesting how such subtle details make Touhou characters distinct from each other.

>>45423029
it can't be yukari, the bow's full instead of two loops
I'm pretty sure it IS supposed to be remi, since those big sketchy lines at the right side kind of look like they could be wings

>>45423042
Maybe, but the position of the bow, the long hair and the mature face makes me think either not-Remilia or an aged up version instead. The big sketchy lines on the side could be her gap.

>>45413985
The intro is perfect.

Apologies for spamming my stuff here, I'm trying to put out an album before the New Year so I've been doing nothing but make music for the past few days.

I don't want to mass reply to everyone, just wanted to say great job on all the artwork posted lately. Especially loved the Futo one, mayhaps I shall also partake and render her visually forthwith.
>>45432106
Ding ding ding! Correct! It's just a redraw of Abe's art in my own style. I have a soft spot for Haibane.
>>45437509
Please don't feel like you're spamming, you're creating and sharing your art and that's awesome. Keep it up. I normally don't listen to music anons share, but I listened to this and it's really impressive to someone like me who knows nothing about music. It's pleasing to my ears.

>>45437631
Thank you, I just don't want to take the spotlight away from others lmao. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I tend to worry that my stuff sounds very amateur but if it sounds impressive then that's great! Your Haibane art is adorable by the way, I love the fluffiness of the hair and the detail on the clothes.

I did this today but I was supposed to do it in June, it completes three years of drawing daily

>>45437903
>I did this today but I was supposed to do it in June
that's a loooooooooong "supposed to" wtf

>>45351970
an artist who draws for money will succumb to AI
an artist who draws for fun won't.

Parsee with a big stretch and some muscle since she hangs out with Yuugi. Did I mess up the ribcage positioning too much? I know something about the upper body or torso as a whole is wrong but I can't tell what.

>>45438495
May be just me but her boobs do look off. Its like they are small but instead of having space between them, they are too close to each other.

>>45438529
Got it! Thanks for the CC anon.

>>45438551
Also, (this may be harder to fix), but her proportions are very off. The torso seems to be far too long. Usually people draw female characters to have body 2/2,5 head lenght (and that often includes "bald" head) Here is closer to 3 with a bit.

>>45437940
well I had to miss two days in june, but I caught up on one in july and just kept failing to find time for the other day
it's not like I was supposed to do it for someone, it was just for me to finish out the three years

>>45438495
have some chicken scratch.

Leotard youmu

>>45437903
I don't wanna be that guy, I'm honestly writing my feelings here. But your improvement in 3 years has been very small, I've been following your drawings for a while.
You gotta try new different things, like angles, poses, faces, etc and drawing more than one thing a day
Post something from 2 years ago

>>45440024
I'm aware, that's why today was my last drawing like this
for the last few months it started to just be a chore that I didn't want to give up on but didn't have the time to actually work on, so I decided to get to three years and then start working on fixing things

>>45440087
Alright, something you can do is to draw multiple poses in the same paper, try to go with the flow instead of drawing stiff (if you are not allergic to porn, use porn doujinshi pages as references, its a good drill and teaches you how to make appealing designs)
Fix your heads and necks, they are too square, this style only works in chibi, not in bodies with long limbs
Pick up a cheap ink pen and draw with that, or at least make more confident pencil strokes, they are to thin and transparent, stop chicken scratching, commit to a single line.
If you are coloring go for it harder, I can barely see the color
And draw in 3D, use shadows, drawings are too plane

>>45440489
>too plane
fucking plane autists I swear

>>45438724
Thanks for the feedback
>Usually people draw female characters to have body 2/2,5 head lenght (and that often includes "bald" head) Here is closer to 3 with a bit.
can you explain the 2/2/, 5 part? I'm confused by the numbers, sorry.
>>45439450
wow this looks fantastic, thank you for your efforts
given that the way i drew proportions are off, do you guys think this drawing is 'fixable'?

>>45441654
Oops, meant flat not plane

See >>45407228

>>45440024
I disagree, he has improved a lot in fundies but his rendering is almost the same.

>>45443034
Yes, he has improved, but the leap is not that far even in 3 years
There's a lot of room to learn and improve
I'm not saying he should stop or to demoralize him

>>45442330
Rougly this. When character is standing straight their body proportions can be counted in amount of "heads". Generally people draw either 6 or 7 heads tall, with certain parts being in certain "sector". This isn't foolproof and obviously doesnt help with more dynamic poses, but its a very good starting point to get general feel for proportions. There are hundreds versions of this picture but it should give you the idea.

>>45442330
Hey thanks, but all I did is just minor stuff, I'm a noob so get this hint with salt.

What you did Is not exactly off, but rather like >>45444230 said.
If you make the head smaller you can also give off the illusion of the body being really tall and big. A 9-10 head tall woman is really tall,
What I would have changed especially if you want more muscular, athletic characters is the shoulder width more than 2 heads will give you.
The biggest "fault" you did was probably with the tits, as they were too close to each other, even under pressure, and the overall top torso width.

>>45444230
im familiar with the chart and should refer to it more often. can you explain what you meant by
>2/2, 5 head length
a bit clearer? maybe i'm just not understanding in the way you wrote it out so it might be my fault but even with the chart im still confused by what you mean.
>>45445361
thanks for the tips im still really new so every bit helps. my mind is set on learning to draw 8-9 head tall women with some more meat on them or to give in a general a more powerful image off, not even just particularly in drawing muscle (even though i do love muscle).
>if you want more muscular, athletic characters is the shoulder width more than 2 heads will give you.
ill jot down this down in particular thank you for the tip, along with the tips on breasts noted earlier. thank you both for your feedback, CC, and help. it feels nice to actually share my art for once so heres some yukari i was working on. thank you both for not tearing me apart over my fucked up parsee.

>>45446400
I mean the lenght of the torso, from characters chin to pussy. Its generally betwen 2 to 2,5 lenghts of head for an average female character in anime style.

>>45446400
Oh and i would be very careful with 8-9 heads tall characters since unless you make them really buff they will look very offputting.
In general i draw most characters with 7 heads tall (think bodytype of Sakuya/Sanae but i generally prefer to draw majority of touhous as more mature). With characters that are meant to be tall being 7.5 (think Yukari). 8 Will require a really athletic build to look good (think Yuugi and maybe Momoyo type) but anything above will look like caricature unless you really heavily stylize it.

From what I can see from the old drawing he posted, he has actually improved A LOT. Not everyone has the same base drawing talent, so not everyone is going to improve at the same rate. To me, that is still a really impressive improvement. I really like his style too, it reminds me a little bit of Yoshitaka Amano. Like another anon mentioned, I would like to see the way you render the drawing changed up. Use pens, use bold and confident lines. You can buy cheap inking pens (or maybe if you're lucky, you can get some from a secret santa here on 4chinz, two years ago that is how I got my first set of copics) and some cheap copic rip-offs like Ohuhus. I personally have never followed even one bit of advice from how-to-draw tutorials, I have never once thought about heads or proportions or anything like that. I just mirror the drawing (or if you're drawing on paper, hold it up backwards to a light) and if I notice something looks fucked up, I fix it. Simple as for me. Plenty of styles work using exaggeration but the thing is, they make it visually appealing. So you can draw however you want, draw fucked up tiny baby hands like in K-ON or long lanky people like CLAMP, the key is simply to make it look appealing.

>>45446536
got it! that makes perfect sense now. thank you very much for explaining further.
>>45446556
I appreciate the pre-caution. The reason I started drawing was after seeing a specific artist that really blew me away with their style and how tall and mature their characters looked. It'll definitely be a challenge to learn to emulate but they are my main inspiration to continue. At this point as a beginner I'm happy to just try out my creativity though to be honest and experiment alot. Its chaotic but I'm learning slowly.

4/9 done yippee!!!
I don't start work until next year so I've been spending all of my free time on music. Vocals would really fit here, but I can't sing nor do I know anyone who can; I avoid a lot of the community outside of this board and can't speak Japanese so it's hard finding someone who'd be willing. It's easy to throw money at any vocalist who's doing commissions, but it feels too impersonal.

>>45446573
Ballpoint pens will do the job

>>45430787
Very nice looking. Especially eyes.

Semi-related, but can anyone recommend some artists that are willing to take on commissions for a lot of characters at once?

I want to make a specific monstergirl CYOA, but I can't find enough related images on pixiv/the boorus and I don't want to resort to AI sloppa either.

>>45454762
>Semi-related, but can anyone recommend some artists that are willing to take on commissions for a lot of characters at once?

What style are you looking for? I might be able to do it.

>>45454762
>and I don't want to resort to AI sloppa either.

It's not like AI can do many characters in a single pic without at least fucking up or fusing them anyway.

No work today. Spent all day just lazing around, drawing and sketching. Feels good man

>>45455613
yo that forearm needs a bit more love

>>45455700
My forearms and knowledge about muscles in general are pure shit lol. My irl ones are not defined enough to reference them and I've never paid too much attention to actually drawing male anatomy, muscles, etc since it's recommended to not draw muscles when drawing pretty girls. So I'm definitely defficient in that subject. Next time I do them I'll look at an anatomy book or some kind of guide to understand them better. Still it was fun

>>45455613
Nice Myukus in the lower right

>>45455935
>etc since it's recommended to not draw muscles when drawing pretty girls.
Actually drawing male muscles helps you with general anatomy, why? because when drawing girls you do the opposite and think like a mirror.
>My forearms and knowledge about muscles in general are pure shit lol.
the rest of the arm looks good, the forearm looks a bit thin

>>45456056

Pretty cool.
It's probably panning too much at times? I've forgotten what the rule of thumb is for panning, but it felt like it was a bit much during the intro.

>>45475351
Didn't expect to be surprised by r34 at this point, but you just did it somehow, I even got a little laugh.
>>45456747
Love it.
>>45479494
I've heard more techno songs to do that panning things, which imo is fine as long as it's short like the intro. Sadly I'm music illiterate and can't even tell what sounds "amateurish" in >>45413985. I lke more the intros of the other songs though.
Maybe I should get a bit into music since I can say much about anon's songs other than them being nice, I think Alice's sounds the best but can't really tell why.
So.. How hard is it to get into music? 2hu arranging specifically since if I learn theory without doing shit I'll probably just end up forgetting everything.

Where did you guys learn to draw? I'm a complete beginner following Brent Eviston's course

The AI art posters have no grasp of perspective and anatomy. They spam their sovlless art all over the place not realizing how bad it is. The issue is that they don't know how to draw. It's the equivalent of someone who has never played or watched soccer making a novel about it.

>>45491490
Brent's course is great. When you finally draw the bird you feel like god

Then you take that an apply that method to whatever you want to draw. If you want to draw anime girls, like many people ITT do, you go to a booru, pick a few pics you really like, and try to copy in the same way you drew the bird.

It doesn't counts as "your art", it's a study, but you have to learn the stuff before applying it. It's a copy, but you learn a lot. Then the drawings you do for yourself will start to feel way better drawn. Pick a pose you like, combine poses, pick a style you want to get closer to, characters, or clothes you like from elsewhere or even original ones, by then you realize that you are the one in charge of how you want your art to evolve.

Then you can grind whatever skills you need to make your art better. Anatomy, colors, composition, perspective etc. You decide the order and priority of what you learn.

>>45491490
I just started drawing and observing life

>>45491490
Very recently i finished my 1st piece that was oversaw by much more experienced friend of mine and i gotta say, it felt like i learned more doing this one than in last 25 or so drawings combined. Having someone comments and give you hints can be invaluable for learning experience.

>>45492211
Drawing is like being a magician who makes illusions. There are lots of ways you can "hint" the solution to understand the trick(class courses, books, "a friend told me", observing life, past experiences, etc), but there's no sure fire way for someone to understand something at first. That's why it's important to think outside of the box so you can finally " get it"

>>45492030
True, true, I agree with your statement.

>>45491490
I guess I never did.

Don't listen to any of their advice. The secret to getting good is having fun. You can have the best courses on earth but it won't matter if you're not having fun. Drawing isn't like other skills. It takes thousands of hours of commitment. If you're motivated by selfish things like getting attention or being the best then you're not going to last. Find the fun then you can focus on the fundamentals such as anatomy and perspective.

Has /jp/ ever created a doujin?
Other than that Mokou x Keine one

>>45479494
>>45486529
Sorry for the late replies, working on another arrangement that's kicking my ass lol. I used to not pan at all so I think I'm overcompensating, generally if I pan I keep it fairly centred, never exceeding any more than 50% to the right/left with some exceptions. I think as the second Anon said, it's short so I'm going to keep it, I just wanted to immerse the listener in and that's the first way I thought of doing it.

>Sadly I'm music illiterate and can't even tell what sounds "amateurish" in >>45413985 (You).
It's cool, any feedback is appreciated. When I think of 'amateurish' I think of songs that sound quite rough and unpolished with mistakes littered around and songs made with only stock plugins/sounds where the musician didn't bother with creating their own sound, mostly. It's hard to explain. What strikes me as amateur in my Flandre arrange is how the risers/downlifters are a little too impactful and the pre-chorus bridge feels slightly dull but it's nothing major.

>How hard is it to get into music?
For me, it was pretty easy, but it depends. I started when I was twelve-ish so I have around seven years worth of experience. I downloaded FL Studio and played around with MIDIs for a few years, swapping out instruments and gradually learning how things work. I think, in terms of composition anyway, MIDI files serve as a great way to pick apart songs and learn how they're made. The only music theory I know is basic things like scales, keys, and time signatures, I studied music tech in college but they only taught us the basics and let us whatever for the rest of the course. When it comes to arranging, I use reference songs for inspiration for the mood and sound, as well as structure so it's easy to both follow along if you're stuck and divert from the reference song when you want to make your piece more of its own thing. FL is very beginner-friendly so start with that if you can then you can experiment with other DAWs to see what suits you best. I'm cautious of hitting the character limit in this reply but if you want to know anything else, just ask, cute Nue btw.

>>45511405
/a/ created a porn doujinshi recently:
>[Labyrinth] First Impressions (Kunoichi Tsubaki no Mune no Uchi)
https://exhentai.org/s/1aa23b7bc2/2661477-1

I'm genuinely impressed by it. And the crazy thing is he started working on it before there were any high quality Japanese doujinshis so it's a rare moment where the western fandom outclassed the Japanese one.

>>45511405
>Mokou x Keine one
What??? Where can I read it?

>>45511405
Don't remind me I'm still working on it

>>45512094
it takes a lot of work but not necessarily being uber skilled, is mostly time consuming than anything, a main drawfag, someone who do the painting that is just b/w and someone who polishes the details/fix small and add text and you can shit doujins fairly fast. not reallyt a hard thing desu.

>>45513387
>not reallyt a hard thing desu.
I want to believe you but if it's easy how come there's so few doujinshis created on 4chan. I can only think of 2 both of which were mentioned in this thread.

>>45513959
theres plenty of people on /ic/ that have drawn comics/doujins but they don't label it as a 4chan production or something like that.
Also nowdays doujins are getting shorter and shorter, even 4 pages can bea doujin

>>45513387
>>45513959
The hardest part about doujinshi is paneling
At least for me

Momiji

>>45511405

I've never been active on /ic/ so I can't debunk that statement but I don't believe you. If they're a lot of work like you say I can't imagine an anon not advertising it on /a/ or /jp/.
