I'm working on something that's 4 times the size of my usual pieces (16"x20" instead of 8"10"!!!) Since I don't have the patience to write a graphic novel (which is what I've always wanted to do) I'm trying to work in some graphic novel type elements into drawings, i.e. in this case the paneling and repeat locations but in future pieces hopefully something along the lines of a visual storyline or somethin' deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Aug 3, 2021 |

I'm not sure that's what you intended with that but the lights leaving the pyramid and going into space give me the feeling of leaving Earth and that little robot looks left behind. At least the whales survived. I like it.

Thanks everyone I am sticking with the theme but experimenting a little. yesterday I did this 8"x10" with like 99% just regular markers which is a change for me, there are parts I really like but I'm not happy with it overall because I can't not see it as balls and a floppy dong lol, it was intended to be more like a quadripedal animal So today I'm remixing (demixing?) it into this, just waiting for these new paint pens to be delivered so I can go mask it all in with black acrylic Part of this that's going to be neat I think is I've really been mashing the markers into the canvas for these parts so there's a bit of texture since it's a mixed media board and it's tearing up a little. But when I go over the white areas with black acrylic and mask it in it will be perfectly smooth, and it's going to make it look like all the landscapes are set back a ways into the drawing (I hope). I'm going to draw little cities in the background with marker/pencil before I do that, and then little silhouettes of cities in the foreground in black acrylic. Traditional art and abstract art are both hard to commercialize so I don't know if I'm going to be able to pull this off as a full-time thing BUT I think this would be a good style for printing en masse and selling to e.g. coffee shops, and it's a much more en vogue style of abstract art right now anyway (making unique patterns out of neat clean shapes) so maybe But I still have a few months at least to ramp this up before I'm going to have to go back to 9-5 work either way deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Aug 12, 2021 |

Here's how this one looks now, it's too dark but I might do something to brighten it up and break up the black lines a lil I really like it with the white too so I think next time I may just go for clean lines in the first place and do that. But the black gives it a sort of uhhh, Mystery Science Theater thing where maybe you're going around riffing on dumb cities. pixaal posted:I saw this the intended way and now can't unsee the spoiler in 2 ways one the balls are detached and on top the other it's a more artistic dong with balls in the right spot.

I just got a tripod and easel for taking art photos and they arguably look better than scanned for posting online to show off your art, depending on what you want to do with the images that may be better. People on social media or art posting sites tend to find the image more interesting when there's a slight bit of physical context in the background and it's just nice seeing the piece organically in its natural environment. Scans are better for printing or for cropping for digital use for sure, but if you have a modern phone you can use the Google Photoscan app to scan with that - just be prepared to have very steady hands or be handy with tripods/easels/etc. $20 tripod and $10 tripod phone clamp: raw from camera: corrected (or "corrected" I am an amateur) $400 scanner: raw from scanner: corrected - as a point of reference this one is closest out of all of these pictures to the real color of the drawing, which is almost the same as the phone's raw photo (I have a Pixel and Google's in-house phones do lots of AI-based color correcting automatically) overcorrected similar to the phone "corrected" photo: I scan at 300 dpi for print and an 8"x10" is comparable in actual image size to a picture from my phone's camera. I would say the phone's camera is more representative of what it looks like in real life too since it gives context for the size and shape as well Also I have been learning that if you want your art to become popular online you have to do more than just share it, you have to tell people your story so they have some kind of emotional attachment to your work. I hate it. But including bits of the space where you work in the background of photos is a good way to contribute to that. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Oct 5, 2021 |

These guys are neat, doing any combat animations using bones? Or is everything going to be completely handmade frames? (both styles are fun, bones you can obviously have someone way less skilled make some complicated animations in combat, they also aren't going to look as good as handmade but making every animation frame takes forever so balancing act!)

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I don't think I am going to include battles. If I include a battle system then I would feel compelled to make the combat well-balanced and challenging and somehow more exciting than normal JRPG combat which would probably take more effort than anything else I'm doing. It's going to be more of an open world thing with a bunch of surreal NPCs that have their own little pointless slice of life vignette quests which will, in a metroidvania-esque way, reward you in ways that let you explore new parts of the map or solve other vignette quests (and/or solve them in new ways). I just want to focus on the parts I'm good at: drawing weird characters and writing surreal slice of life prose There's only a vague hint of narrative/story outside of that (you are a moon drinker and you're here on ganymede to drink the moon, and the ganymedians are hypervigilant on the lookout for the fabled moon drinker) I will most likely have some more complicated and exciting animations in NPC idle sprites as time goes on but I am brand new to animating so it's going to take me a while to figure out how much movement to show in 3 frames and things like that, but with only 3 frames to work with and since I'm limiting myself to 48x48 using bones is probably more effort than just drawing it. I would like to do more with well-placed simple animations backed up by atmospheric music and environment design than do less with everything fluidly animated, if that makes sense. If I don't stay minimalist I probably won't ever finish the project. e: If I do include battles they will be optional and there will be very very few and I would probably go all-out with hiring a talented animator to make large, high quality sprites for them. Or they will be rap battles set to Randal Bravery's Ganymede Bartender beat tape (I'm hoping they'll let me license the album anyway bc a lot of it is super fitting for what I'm going for) deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Oct 19, 2021 |

i hardly post here but i like art so edit: I use blackletter ink pens and they're actually kind of expensive it's sort of getting on my nerves. Do any of the ink goons here like a certain brand they can reccomend? my biggest thing is that I hate SMEARING and I like a pen to have the size it say which with these blackletters it's been less and less accurate |

Epic Prison Guy posted:i hardly post here but i like art so I have gone through a whole lot of different fineliners and black pens to see how they all work Smearing is easiest to avoid through paper choice in my experience. It depends on what you're doin' exactly and what kind of drawing you like and what you want to do with it but I am a big fan of Legion papers. You can get a sampler pack of small pads of their papers for pretty cheap, this one is all of their Stonehenge line which is made with watercolor in mind and therefore very absorbent, so it should minimize smearing. But it's also a thicker, heavier paper more like construction paper so keep that in mind. https://legionpaper.com/artist-pad-collection They also have a line of treeless paper called Yupo that I absolutely love for many things (it's the only 'paper' that liquid chrome actually works on!), but it is entirely non-absorbent and therefore will smear like crazy unless you let it sit for several hours to dry Not what you're looking for because these are super smear-y but I really like Marker pads like these from Canson: https://en.canson.com/artist-series/pro-layout-marker It's a very thin very non-absorbent translucent paper that just looks great w/ black ink, and if you use markers (of any kind, not just copics or whatever) they blend so incredibly well because of it being translucent, it's amazing. They in fact smear so much that drawing on them taught me how to be careful about smearing so (it's just unavoidable sometimes though) Pen-wise one thing I've noticed is that pen quality seems to vary from lot to lot, sometimes I buy a pack of pens that I usually love but they all dry fast or have brittle nibs that break or whatever, so YMMV, but I would suggest Pentel Pointliners, they're very light which makes them feel kind of 'cheap' but they're not cheaply made, the nibs are good, the sizes are consistent, and most importantly for your purposes they dry fast and have minimal smearing - I use them specifically because you can go over them with alcohol markers with only the most minimal smear. I tend to have minimal smearing with Microns too which are like the go-to workhorse of fineliners and black ink pens, they're the best bang for your buck and very cheap, there's nothing they're bad at and overall they are above average at most things, you can get them anywhere. But maybe also try out acrylic pens like Posca, I love drawing with black poscas and it's a much deeper black than you'll get out of ink pens, plus acrylic dries super fast and therefore doesn't smear like ink does. The only real downside here is that they don't get any smaller than 0.1mm and you need to pump them occasionally (just push them against something to depress the nib) and shake them to keep the ink flowing. Here's a deep dive into different fineliners including side by side comparisons in different situations which I found very helpful, it's where I found pointliners: https://www.pullingers.com/what-is-the-best-fineliner-pen Staedtler pigment liners (NOT the triliners which feel very cheap and have weak flow) are probably my favorite fineliner overall and do well with smearing (but not with copics), as well as having the most durable/well constructed pens and sturdiest nibs imo.They at least used to be much more expensive than the competition but maybe that's because I was getting them individually at an art supply store instead of in packs from Amazon I have literally hundreds of pens, maybe even thousands at this point, someone send help e: Also drawing in a dry environment helps with smearing! The faster the ink dries the less it will smear. Turn on a fan or something if possible. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Nov 1, 2021 |

Last time I made the idiotic purchase of water paper (whatever brand hobby lobby sells, it's the only lovely art store near here sadly) and the depressions on the paper have hosed the tip up on a lot of my markers. Also, nothing will piss you off more than coming back from the store and you open one of thosepens and it has been leaking on the inside for god knows how long, likely the result of some idiot stock boy dropping a whole package of them onto the floor like they're not expensive pens |
