>>7149091The leg redline doesn't help at all and the arm redline is worse than the original lol, should be foreshortened.
>>7149097Thanks, not the prettiest thing i will admit>>7149091Mouth nipple is supposed to be a piercing *sigh* back to the drawing boardThe left hand is supposed to be shortfortened since the sword is a bit forward but yours doesnt look like its wrong either.Didnt add a visible pommel because someone already got ended rightly, actually it seemed to make an already large sword even larger so the hand is covering it.So i add a bit of calf volume at the tippity top and the bottom of the shin.?>>7149083True dat

>>7148773The thigh meat is different from the butt meat, so on a fatter ass the thigh won't rise smoothly into the buttock, but instead the buttock will stick out of the back of the thigh as it's own shape. The buttocks themselves have a naturally beanish, dimpled shape which becomes more obvious the bigger they get. Here's an extreme example (not my art) for educational purposes

I'm trying to make a Wendigo/skull dog OC, how do I make her stand out and a bit unique?here I tried to copy her into my sketchbook and tried using fine liners for the first timehttps://files.catbox.moe/o25udp.jpeg
>>7146597Skulldogs are a dime a dozen, so if you want her to stand out she needs some boldly different characteristics. Some ideas: A half broken-off face, dark skull and light fur, part of her body also being skeletal, a creepily long snakelike neck, short fur and a mane like a horse, stripes on the skull or fur, long whiskers, saber tooth teeth…

I'm autistic, with ADHD. I can't focus on trying to get better at all or even come up with anything to draw without just giving up and going back to looking at my phone and doing something else.I've legitimately never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby and have gotten lazy over the years with my only actual one which is writing and the only reason I'm good at writing is because I wanted people to be able to understand what the fuck I was saying and I wanted to write good stories because I thought I'd never be able to make them in a visual medium, but that's it. I've never been able to commit to a serious routine, schedule, or anything. I just sit in my room online doing basically nothing.Everything I try doing looks so daunting and impossible. I tried learning Source Filmmaker as a teen and I gave up immediately because it looked too complicated. I tried learning how to make my own games in game maker, gave up immediately and never touched it. Even something like drawing just looks so complex and impossible. This is what it's like for everything I try doing.

>>7147837No, you haven't told me what to do. You haven't hold me where to start, what techniques to use, what sources to look at. Anything. I get nothing useful out of your replies to me.
To have creative impulses and never act on them?J.P said it'll basically fuck you up so bad you'll kill yourself or do rot away.I have been sorta avoiding drawing even though i'd like to get good at it. I feel very insecure about my extremely lacking artistic ability, though, which is why i've been putting it off for years now.I still think about it pretty much daily.
>>7146166>he's veered into right wing politicstypical retard US politics, "muh enemy hates it so I gotta love it to own 'em."on a meta-level being AI is an inherently conservative position since it will erode tradition and create a Orwellian nanny state where history will be re-written daily.At least Tucker seems to get it.

YEAH so I'll approve your tuber thread I just hate the OP image so much. Triggered, dare I say Bait'd? Kind of a lame take OP. Warhol would not use AI, if anything he fought against generic post modern bullshit all that through his soup can art, you kinda of missed the point. All fame in Art is eventually tied to money laundering and whether the CIA decided it can gain intel through the transaction. Actual skill may vary from true illustrating professionals to duct banana on wall. That's western art. Eastern art never really focused on uniqueness as everyone in Japan can draw and Asian art in general has also preffered expression through technique rather "My little special snowflake view of the world" Youre an artisan, jsut shut up and make art. Should we not ultimately judge an artist by the number of artworks and quality? Picasso made 13,500 paintings, whether or not you think they are shit is irrevalent.>Katsushika HokusaiComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
19,000 printsANDY MADE get off your ass and do something artistic I dont care how, just experiment,, with AI or not, just stop moral high grounding each other, christ, sorry lord name in vain but seriously.
>>7149046>Warhol would not use AIThere's no way of knowing, but even some of your points suggest that he would.>Art history is a reactive conversation that breeds innovation through rebellion of the current zeitgeistI agree, but the zeitgeist is so fragmented now there are multiple narratives to rebel against. Would Warhol rebel against the notion of technological "progress" and embrace traditional methods in the face of AI? Or would he rebel against the commercial art world's collective panic against AI? It appears a small number of transgressive artists (like filmmaker Harmony Korine) are embracing AI in reaction to the "existential crisis" it poses to artists. I could see Warhol taking a similar approach.>Da vinci would have used ai too at some point, it doesn't replace that they had STUDIOS OF UNDERLINGS WHO JUST DID MOST OF THE WORK ANYWAYSStill craft was paramount with Renaissance artists. It's similar to how classic cartoonists and manga artists have assistants.That's different from Warhol's conception of his studio as a "factory" (not that he completely disregarded craft in production, but he sought to have the individual hand of the artist superseded by the artificial aesthetic of mass production).>Pop art is the beginning of the current modern commercialization of artYeah, and in Warhol's own words he wanted to be like a machine. So it's not a stretch to imagine him using AI.
>>7149046Nigga unless something is really cool I don't give a fuck about that word salad of why actually this piece of art is a genius reflection on society or human nature. Art is all about drawing titties and cool guys fighting. Remember that
>>7149098Interesting. >>7149100I know boss at the end of the day its all pretty pictures to impress the misses. Or if you're a incel cope.
I have an issue. i'm trying to gain followers, made multiple posts about it and some of my current followers responded (super rare) and basically, it seems like they want to be more "friendly" with me than what i wanted or expected.Naturally, being autistic, i now have no idea what to do to clarify i DONT want to be friends with anyone, while still not looking like an asshole.To keep it short, the world treated me like shit and i am constantly backstabbed, so i've decided never to trust anyone again, at least not as a friend. I understand i could "just talk to them" while not giving them any info beyond what's necessary BUT, that's where my autism comes in again. I'm perfectly fine when i speak AT someone, or when i talk anonymously like this, but an actual conversation where i have an "identity" (in this case my art name), where someone can "SEE" me, i just don't like it.It feels so intimate to me, and it makes me want to back away and i wind up not saying anything at all. It doesn't help how delicate this situation is either. How do you say "hey i don't wanna be friends with you" without looking like a dick and pushing away the few followers you have.This is happening with 2 different people. 1 guy came out of nowhere and started replying as though i'm talking directly to him, as opposed to just posting to vent or ask the entire audience i have. The other guy has been following for a while and i pretty much don't reply to him even though he follows me, i just don't want to talk to him because he seems...off. not in the "off" way that someone retarded like me would be either, just like, something is telling me he'd just be awkward to interact with, and i think it's true since if i did interact, i would only be doing it because i feel forced to do so.wtf do i do?
>>7148764For me it's opposite. Wouldn't you be even slightly curious about who DM'd you and why? I suck really bad at starting conversations and never write first ever, so I really appreciate when someone does so because I know how hard it is. I try to respond nicely to every message I get and it helped me meet both the coolest and the weirdest people out there. I'd say the former are definitely worth it, at least because you can always block/ignore the latter
>>7148838>Some people would go through hell and high water just to have a shot like you do. Autism is a gift from Godthat's all i needed to read to know you dont understand the situation and are fucking retarded. go find a bridge
>>7148857>Most artistsyeah, this is just a blatant lie.>>7148875>>7148811they don't DM me, it's just 2 specific people who comment on my posts. not sure how either of you got that i'm getting DM'd by a bunch of adoring fans or whatever you imagined, but that's not even close to the case.
>>71487961. i don't want to not vent, it's my account, i should have the freedom to do what i want. i shouldn't be cornered like a caged animal because other people don't get it.2. the problem here is the feeling that it's intimate. as mentioned, i hate one on one where i have an "identity" or can be "seen" because it feels intimate. a one on one like this doesnt matter because i could be anyone, you dont know me and you never will.i guess more than anything im starting to realize after saying that, that my issues is more serious than i thought and i need to learn how to speak to people in general online, which is shit because i want to be an artist not a fucking vtuber. im not trying to manipulate people on a social level, i just wanna make art and have people go "thats good" and support me because they want to see more of my work, not because they want to support the person behind the work.
>>7148764This thread has nothing to do with art. If you don't want to interact with people online, don't post anything besides your work. >wtf do i do?Delete your social media, you clearly don't care to be social. Focus on art instead.

>>7145651And one more thing, when you purchase some of Comicraft's fonts, you may or may not have to fix them with a font program, so if you want a more stable dialogue font that's ready to use, you might want to consider using Blambot.I had to fix my Monologous font myself because it was only reading Regular and Bold Italic when I opened it up in my version of Photoshop. I used a free version of FontLab's TransType 4 font program to fix my fonts so that they were all assigned correctly and ready for use—Plain Regular, Italic Regular, Bold Regular and Italic Bold. I forgot to mention that in my OP. Good luck.
