oh it definitely exists. Of Macross, Gundam, and any cartoon or video game that involves space ships.

Voltron, Power Rangers. And no, not the human characters but the robots and space ships.

last week in class we were told to start working on a bipedal model for rigging in the second part of the semester. I asked if it could have an animal's head and fur. No one laughed. In that moment I was genuinely disappointed with my life. If you can't joke about furries with non-artists and you can't joke about furries with artists, then who the gently caress

anyway my point is there are questions that need to be answered like would Inspector Gadget's dick be mostly flesh or mostly robo

what would sexbot anus look like

The reason why no one laughed is because all of your classmates are either furries or they're aware that there are furries in class.

Edit: Also, I dunno, animation heads and fur aren't exactly unheard of in the digital arts, sexually charged or not.

guys, i found the furry

For critique I'd stick with still images. If you want to stream with other artists, Twitch has a creative category.

Real-time advice is a nice thought, but the occasional corrections are just as good. Plus you need to allow yourself to make mistakes in the first place. Watching an artist real-time is very time-intensive for the critic anyway.

This is a bipedal model for a rigging class. I don't like being another dude with a naked woman but I need the motivation. So yeah, we were given a choice of any bipedal and I picked one of the most hyper sexualized video game characters I could think of.



For now I'm just getting the proportions right. I'll need to go back through and fix the topology. I don't know how geometry will deform yet and I really should get around to learning basic topology techniques.



She has a set of arms with wings that come from her head. I'm really looking forward to rigging that, and animating it.

Texturing, too. This is going to be a lot of fun. poo poo.





subdividing once to get rid of the jaggies, and smoothing the mesh will look good at this level. I also don't know how to subdivide the face and will need to look at a model by someone who knows what they're doing. I'd really prefer to avoid the aborted alien fetus eye look that is so prevalent.

I guess I'm confused about how to get digital art to emulate traditional media. Is it possible, or should I not be looking to use Photoshop in this manner?

Here are the settings I use for making brushes act more like pencil. I rarely work with solid lines, and prefer placing somewhat transparent strokes.

I tend to keep Shape Dynamics off, but I use lines with wispy ends on occasion. It's good to know it's there.

hmm? Oh, no I was going for that solid form of the hair, and then just some green just because. I wanted her face to be framed in solid black.

I turned spacing all the way down (to full) and kept flow / opacity all the way up

What do you mean by density? I'm unfamiliar with that setting.

it was a two minute thing that ended up whatever it was going to be, so there's no issue. I just wanted to see something on the canvas this time. It is impossible for something to be wrong when there were no standards or goals to start with.

you can dislike it. but if you start trying to say it's objectively wrong when it wasn't meant to be anything in particular, that is kind of pointless.

This is why people put paint up their rear end and poo poo onto a canvas, because people don't understand the concept of subjective versus objective art.

Got the feets done. they got a really good range of motion, which let's face it any martial artist worth their salt needs their feet to be flexible.



Toe has a angle range of about 53 degrees up (not sure down, i didn't test that.) foot secondary joint has about 25 degrees up and 66 down. overall a big success

you would probably be interested in a Perfect Grade Gundam of mine. It uses a double hinge knee and foot system that isn't so obviously a simple hinge joint. I have a couple mechas coming up as soon as I get the chance. I'll make some studies of the joints in the meantime and post those sooner than later.

that's not quite how I'd execute a sex-appeal character, but it's still an accomplishment. My basic sentiment regarding criticism in this case is 'can you do better.'

The butt is maybe too big in my opinion and she has a mom body going on but that's all that stands out to me.

gently caress it, I'm buying it.

You happen to post very often in several threads that I have bookmarked, and I'm not specifically picking on you. That said, yes, that notion I quoted is objectively wrong (regardless if it is your opinion), and it's a notion that I always make a point to respond to.

There is truth in every critique, and the only requirement one needs to meet to be qualified to critique visual media of any genre is to have eyes. Period. The "Well can YOU do better?!" response to negative feedback is what amateurs say to protect their fragile egos. You don't have to accept all critique you get, but if you're making visual art, everyone with eyes gets to critique it.

NOW, if you want to put YOURSELF in that box, and self-censor your own critiques and only critique that which is below your skill level, fine, but... I don't believe anyone who says they adhere to that.

What I mean is if you can do better, cool. But from what I know of the various posters itt who have commented on that game, they cannot do better and I think they're ignorant of all the work that goes into making something like it.

Say you or other professionals can in fact do better. In that case I still think it's weird to be too mean about a game like this, when its flaws are obvious. Be gracious about it.

I feel like there is a turn happening, from observing something that is different and then talking a bit too much smack when we'll never talk to the creators of the game directly.

Yeah and you're allowed. I feel like we're getting somewhere instead of just popping in to say "you're wrong."

I happen to disagree with you once again I guess, and I'm going to buy that game because I think $15 is a fair value for how glorious it is.

It's very amusing to me when people get righteous about morals over tits and rear end [specifically: objectified women] in a video game when that poo poo sells. Again I'm going to buy a copy of this game because I believe in what it is and I don't have the same hang-ups as other people apparently.

This is a good commentary on how a single person does not decide the value of a thing.

When you dislike something, that's fine don't buy it. But if you go on to expect other people should also dislike it, that makes you special kinds of wrong.

One of this forum's own comic making goons made weird demon porn for an anthology and no-one minded because he's cool and well-liked, and I bought it. So please gently caress off with the smuttier-than-thou shtick, especially when it's in service of defending garbage-tier porn with a child's idea of sexiness.

Edit: Eh, that was a little mean. By all means enjoy your terrible robotitty game, but do sod off with the "heh, guess you're just prudes :smugbert:" thing, because I'm not sure Something Awful Dot Com is the place to play that card.
