>>3479949
it's 2018

thank you shriney, through thick and thin you're there for us, you are a good cat

>>3479953
Yeah so why are you so gay?

i kind of want to go full autism mode and redesign all the badges to be in a cute pixel style so they look more aesthetic on lassos pages

but i don’t know what i’d do about new badgers

>>3479947
Will shriney add the batoru site in the OP as well?

>>3479969
Only shriney knows.
Kinda just dry running atm anyways, will have to see how it turns out with commands available.

>>3479955
thanks meow

>>3479956
I was born this way

>>3479969
If you mean the world map, I think it's unrelevant

>>3479994
Who cares what you think you're just a shitty thread maker.

>>3480188

>>3479959
Design em cause you love us

Another shit day.
I am all ready to give up again.

Good morning anon!

>>3480261
BAD MORNING!
I tried painting and everything went WRONG!

>>3480188
Throat zit

>>3480261

Good morning, Clover.

>>3480252
Take my hand, son.
You've come so far already, wouldn't it be a shame to give up now?
You're so strong, drawing every day. Very few actually manage to do something like that.
I'm proud of you.

>>3480305
I'm not even that Anon and I'm inspired my this.

Thank you, I needed this.

>>3480312
We all have bad days, keep going, you can do it. Good night, lassos.

>>3480267
Thats my everyday. Im used to it by now.

>>3480280
Good morning challenge when?

>>3480252
>>3480267
>>3480374
Daddies are depressed.

>>3480375
>Good morning challenge when?

As someone pointed out earlier, completing something like this could very well qualify for the upcoming one-page comic challenge.

>>3480393
yea, >>3480280 is basically a one page comic

>>3480383
But repeated failure is another definition of practice! Im not going to stop just because of a little growing pains.

just sold one of my plein airs for $100

felt so cringey oh my god

>>3480467
which one

>>3480469
https://dad.gallery/submissions/6369 literally the worst one ive painted lol

>>3480472
did the school buy it?

>>3480467
>>3480472
was humblebragging on the discord not enough?

>>3480481
old guy who owned building came out and was like heh heh ur a professional now bring it back and ill pay u for it LOL

>>3480482
never enough heres my social media too https://www.instagram.com/tayloreroseart/
http://taylorerose.tumblr.com
https://taylorerose.artstation.com

>>3480486
How are your digital values so much worse than your plein air values? Have you considered doing your professional work in traditional and scanning it for finishing touches?

rip genzai, another flawless down

>>3480504
Dads are getting weary. Genzai can finally rest

>>3480486
YASSS, I'm not being an insufferable bitch, I'm just self promoting!

>>3480261
Good morning!

>>3480503
are they? If they are its probably one of a few reasons
1. digital work is older/outdated, and my traditional work is more current.
2. digital work tends to be more design or (lol)speedpaint oriented, and less observational/very little refs. Traditional stuff I'm just focusing on learning gouache, and learning how to mix colors observationally. Planning on tackling longer illustrations once I've got a good gap in time, but right now I'm trying to patch holes in lighting knowledge that i know im lacking from life painting.
3. digital work tends to be much more experimental, so trying weird colors

>>3480513
hope your day gets better!

>>3480513
Shall we instead be happy for the success of our comrades? It could be you in that position soon...

Nice work everyone! One more day to go for the spring challenge!

>>3480535
And two days left for the album and hands challenge!

>>3480534
No because I wouldn't post about it everywhere and brag in the thread, taylor literally never shuts up

>>3480561
ye my life is just painting and talking about painting lol

>>3480483
aw, adorable. whatcha gonna spend it on?

>>3480535
Otsukaresamaaa

>>3480561
everyone here is so shy and down on themselves, it’s refreshing to see a lassie brag about a cool $100 for a painting originally done for an otherwise worthless badge

i hope we all make it!

>>3480627
then brag

the humble brag shit is so tired and annoying

>>3480634
yo I don't mean it to humble brag.

To elaborate. the guy came up in the middle of my painting and was some old dude who (inadvertently) was a bit patronizing. He told me to come back when its done and hed buy it off of me, and then offhandedly was like "ur a pro now heh heh"
After that I basically dropped the ball hard and suffered for 2 hours trying to recover the painting, then sucked it up and dropped it off because money is good.
It was just a super surreal, awkward experience and made me feel like I was getting handouts from a food pantry or something.

>>3480561
Well I'd want to know if you or any other daddy made some money just by Doing Art Daily, so please do post about it when it happens.

>>3480654
It comes across as humble brag. "so cringey, it was my worst one lol"

>>3480627
>otherwise worthless badge

"A man does not have himself killed for a half-a-pence a day, or for some petty distinction. You must speak to the soul to electrify him!"

>>3480662
yeah it was not my intent, and I can understand how my poor phrasing implied that

>>3480654
It was a humblebrag, but it's fine, it's cool that you were paid for your work.
Care to expand on this?
>After that I basically dropped the ball hard and suffered for 2 hours trying to recover the painting

>>3480670
hmm.
Basically since I'm just doing plein airs for enjoyment and learning, there's no risk of "failure" and I can be confident and bold with my marks and decisions. due to this I think I approach it more intuitively and mindfully.

But when the dude came out and offered money for it, suddenly it evoked that focus on the end result instead of just casually enjoying process and I lost most of the confidence I typically have with my work. Chalking it up to not catching myself in that type of thought loop, and maybe taking a 20 minute break before trying to rework the stuff I wasn't feeling.

Genzai noooooo

as per the poll, pic related

>>3481652
I'm 30 now, or at least that's what my caretaker says because I stopped learning anything new on my 25th birthday. Every day I get to meet new people, but sometimes they run away if I forgot to put on pants.

HAPPY BEGINNING OF SUMMER, DADDIES! CONGRATS TO THE 19 DADDIES THAT EARNED FLAWLESS BADGES THIS SPRING!!!! YEEHAW!!

>start new season on submission 7000

>>3481892
This is good omen!

>>3480252
Today has taught me, that people have more strength inside of us than we know.
I got the worst wake up phone call of my life. My mom called me crying and hysterical. She had somehow torned her internal stitches (she had a big operation a couple of weeks ago) and was bleeding pretty bad. I live pretty close to her, so I hauled ass and got her an ambulance. Thanks to quicke actions of the hospital staff, she got that shit stitched up and is doing fine now. I still drew today. It was garbage, but I was still able to draw today and post it. I know sometimes you just want to give up, but if a shitty artist like me can go through bad stuff and keep drawing, then I belive you can too. Don't give up anon.

>>3481912
That's heavy.
But true, when you think you are done you're only at 40%

>>3481912
jesus christ

>>3481912
I hope everything goes well anon. Dad is proud of you for drawing

>>3481912
Holy fuck anon...

>>3481912

>>3481988
Oh no no no no

>>3481917
These past two or so months have been really hard on me. I have noticed throughout this shit, that your real limit is pretty fucking far away from that first think you think is your limit.
>>3481922
>>3481927
Shit's was pretty fucked.
>>3481924
I hope so too, I will continue to make dad proud.
>>3481936
There has been lot of scary situations in my life as of late, But I feel this was the first legid terrifying situation. I never seen my mom in such a bad state(she is a really strong person, the type that does not let almost anything shake her) that combined with all the blood was scary as fuck. It was pretty hard to keep my shit together, but I knew it was a situation where I had to be level headed.
>>3481984
Thanks anon, hopefully I can showcase level headedness in bit less of a fucked situation.

Legend has it that if you go to LA and start shouting "Kringle fucking fight me" randomly around the city a man on a pale horse will guide you to the secret underground DAD fighting ring where you will be able to customize your own Tyler Durdensona.

I hope dads don't mind if I advertise the site on other boards/thread

>>3482413
If you keep it in chan4 it's probably fine.

>>3482073
I like it

I made it guys, they thought i wuldn't be able to but i did
haha..ha jokes on them, i did it

>>3482535
W-what did you do?

>>3482413
If you don't advertise on /a/,/i/ or /aco/ it's fine.

>>3482535
are ya winning son?

>>3482538
but I advertised in /trash/...

>>3482111
>>3482237
Rite back at u

>>3481951
only 5 dads will receive the rarest album badge

>>3482540
What have you done? It's a containment board for people who need to rest.
Let's pray for them.

>>3482540
You have unleashed the furry community upon us

>>3482538
laba advertising on /a/ is how I got here two and a half years ago, for better or worse.

>>3481669
Good evening!

>>3482593
u from straya or nz?

>>3482540
oh god what have you doonnneeeee

Any good ideas for a Prestige 5 challenge? I don't think anyone's made one yet.

>>3482607
What about the goals challenge everyone's talking about in the previous threads

>Wake up early to catch compliment anon
>Work really hard using all the basic techniques I have so far
>Finish the sketch layer and gonna go over it it’s a soft pencil at work
>Look at what I have so far
>It’s fucking trash

Why do I even try dads??

>>3482610
If you keep drawing, someday it will be less trash and that is a damn good feeling. might even get those compliments you hunger for.

>>3482610
which compliment anon are we talking here? the peniston guy? You really shouldn't seek approval from other dads, it'll only leave you insecure and dependent on likes/compliment. Nonetheless, I'm still proud of you son for drawing today

>>3482610
It's the eye to hand gap at play here.

man i'm so lost with this cover shit

I'll participate on the cat challenge, but I think it should be tweaked: Let people post studies and 2 finished pieces as they wish during the 5 days, 1 finished piece per day is too much for people with jobs, like me.

>>3482781
I second this. Set the frequency to none instead

>>3482708
Me too.
I don't know what to make of it.

What kind of hobbies do /dad/dies have? If you consider art as a hobby, what other hobbies do you have?
I personally really like cooking.

>>3482825
watching random youtube videos

>>3482825
i really like knitting! ive been saving up for a circular set so i’ll never have to buy needles for a project again

>>3482825
I used to collect minerals and dabble on occult in the past

>>3482854
lol gay

>>3482851
What type? I usually have something playing while I do busywork.
>>3482854
Nice, I always had an appreciation for some good knitting. Post some stuff you made?
>>3482873
Mineral collecting sounds fascinating, but not going to lie, occult sounds even more so.I hope you did not sacrifice small animals or anything.

>>3482825
i browse /vp/ and tell myself im studying languages (im not)
in other words i am useless and do nothing.

>>3482825
i like to listen stuff about history, watch movies/shows/etc
read comics/manga

>only 6 people will have the album badge
wow, who could have thought

fuck me, all these challenges are slowly piling up on me

>>3482985
Okay, where do you want me to fuck you; the butt hole or pee pee hole?

>>3482933
Nah anon, you ain't useless. You should try to stop thinking about yourself like that. you repeat that shit enough times and you will start beliveing in it. There is an African proverb that goes like this: “When there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do you no harm.” Learning languages is hard stuff. Learning them while doing self sabotage is even harder.
>>3482943
I am a bit of a history nut myself. I generaly have one art history book going on all the time. Currently I am reading about Alfons Mucha. Got any good manga recommendations? I am super normie about manga/comics, just finished Full Metal Alchemist for the gorilionth time.
>>3482968
Man, I got a album cover done, but I am so embarrassed how bad it is. I might skip posting it today and just post it later, when it is better.

>>3483009
both, daddy
I need both

>>3482918
i’m a girl you faggot

>>3482926
sure! i make most of my stuff for friends though so i’ll have to ask them for pics. i think i have and old crochet project here though if youd be intrested in seeing that too!

>>3483056
whatever gender u choose for the day, taylor

>>3483058
im not taylot

There should be a little box for a handful of the current highest (active) streaks

>>3483067
but why

>>3483056
Yes, I would anon. There is something very charming about textile work.

Today I had two job interviews, I think they went good, wish me luck, LAS

http://wici.wikia.com/wiki/Character_List_Lore

why don’t we have a lore wiki dads?!?!!!

>>3483118
i miss rover

>>3483118
>nile is on the wiki
w- woah

>>3483118
why dont you make one?

>>3483093
I won't, I promise.

>>3483118
listfags are evolving??

>>3483118
This is cool but the wiki clearly It's just an idea, It's almost empty.

>>3483118
damn this is definitely where I aspire to be one day. In all seriousness though why is Nile being lumped in with the rest of those absolute faggots

>>3483137
cause he's a namefag, like the rest of them.

Who is Nile and why

>>3483137
if you push yourself hard enough you too can become a living embodiment of cancer

>>3482825
Cycling and vidya but mostly camping

>>3482825
Cycling and vidya but mostly just painting desu

>>3482825

>>3482825
I learn nihongo and play some mmorpg, but very casually. No more than one hour a day or I'll go bananas with leveling up and doing dumb achievements. I dream of the day when I get an ok pay with my drawing and I'm able to play maybe an hour a day more, or give myself time to play on the weekends. (And also to change my old notebook to enjoy nice graphics!)

>>3482825
I like to go running. I use to build model kits but I havent done that in about two or so years.

I feel like physically harming another DAD. Any tips?

>>3483230
look at their pleinair exif data

>>3483231
OHNO
BANANA LET US DELETE OUR SUBMISSIONS ALREADDYYY

>>3483237
too late, I'm already locking in.

I'm not proud of my album. Wish I could've worked on it better. I'm sorry I failed you dad

>>3482825
I don't consider concept/digital art a hobby, traditional/fine art is for me. My other hobbies are weightlifting, hiking, urban exploring, going to museums/parks, sewing, game dev/programming, making music occasionally, hoarding PDFs and reference images I never look at, audiobooks/podcasts, occasional manga/vidya. I'd also like to get into wheel pottery one day.

>>3483025
Some manga recs:
20th Century Boy
Tobaku Haoden Rei (or any of Fukumoto's stuff, I think this one is easy to get into though. I recommend Strongest Legend Kurosawa if you have a personality like 75% of /dad/ though)

I think that should cover a wide enough genre range that you'll like at least one.

I picked up cycling recently too. I am so shitty at keeping up jogging, but I actually like pedaling around with a bike. Specially when the sun is setting or rising, max comfy.
>>3483161
I do like me sum vidiya. I just need to be careful with that shit, I get addicted way too easy
>>3483200
Man, I get hooked on single player vidiya easy, but in my younger years I remeber MMORPGs being like crack cocaine to me. Learning a new language is always good.
>>3483211
I for the life of me could not get into running. Most likely I am just a undisciplined fuck. I remeber some artist talking, how build model kits is really good for your construction and helping you think in 3d.

>>3483121

>>3483240
Busy man. I have been trying to learn programming for a while, but I always start feeling guilty when I spend too much time doing something else than drawing. I really shitty habit I need to kick.
Thank you for the recommendations, I will save them and check them out later.

>>3483245
*cums*

>>3483243
mmmorpg STILL kind of feel like crack cocaine to me. That's why I have to control and not get the "I gotta be the very best" mindset. That's why drawing gamification is working well with me, too.

How's the cooking going? Have you been doing it for a while? Anything you've been rocking with it lately? I never got into it, maybe I'm too lazy.

>>3482825
I pick up random projects which I pursue with feverish interest and then abandon them weekly. Also judo. I'm hoping to get my blacc belt this year.

>>3483243
yeah kit building is fun, cause sometimes the instructions obscure pieces so you physically rotating a piece and correlating that to the 2D instructions go a long way. Running isnt always fun, sometimes I cant get a good pace and the run is terrible, but overall I find it to be nice. Theres a nature preserve thats a big mountain near my house, I should try going there for a run.

>>3482781

Don't be a pussy and draw some pussy.
Honestly the challenge isn't even that demanding compared to some other challenges.

I told you not to feed them after midnight!

I have been cooking for four or so years. This year I have been trying to focuse on more healthy food. Lot less red meat, more chicken and veggies. Fried rice, with veggies, mushrooms and eggs was todays food for example, simple and tasty. I am not great at it, but I can whip up some decent stuff.

It's good that you are able to turn that vidiya mentality to art, a powerful tool to be sure. Also good that you are still able to enjoy video games, that is something I struggle with. I always feel so damn guilty.
>>3483276
I used to do that all the time, until I found drawing. After that, The other things I enjoy just kinda found me. I am impressed anon, go get that blackbelt my dude.
>>3483280
I think I used to do it with my uncle, or he used to do it and I watched. Maybe a new hobby to pick up, how knows. Sounds like an amazing spot to exercise in general. I am a bit jelly.

>>3482633
I’ll be honest with you I always thought the eye to hand gap was a meme but now that I’m going through it it’s hell

Looking back at it I think that’s the reason I gave up art in highschool.

How long till my hand catches up then?

>>3483378
Aww hell yeah. When I was younger, I always wanted so bad to get into warhammer 40k, but I was always too much of a poor fag. One of my rich friends used to give me the one's he did not want anymore. Painting them was one of the first things I enjoyed over playing vidiya 24/7.

>>3483140
Yeah, why

>>3483351
Here's one that's just sitting on my desktop because I hoard so much and I'm too lazy to organize it, and eventually when my desktop gets full I shove it into a folder which I shove into another folder. It's more of an inspiration image though.

Not counting the usual like internet stuff/movies/music/vidya, I really love skateboarding. I've been skating since I was a kid, and most of my good memories and friendships came from it. Even though I'm getting a bit old (and fat) for hard stuff like stairs and rails, I still occasionally meet up with my old friend to play S.K.A.T.E. and learn new tricks. Picrelated was almost 10 years ago, holy shit how the time flies

Fuck the album challenge and fuck psd files.

Does making a Tulpa counts?

>>3483532
Nice dude. Must be really cool to have people you known for a long ass time, who you can gush with about a shared passion. I am guessing you got pretty good at it? As a kid, I latched on to skating(due to playing Tony Hawk games) but I never had any true passion for it, so I never got any good.
>>3483582
Hey, why not. It's that shit, where you create another being in your head, right?

>>3483378
wOAH those are so nice! My love for figures always made me want to paint stuff like these, but being poor and from a developing country makes it super difficult. I may get into miniature painting once I'm making more money.

>>3483501
sometimes I get paid comfy wages to do it but Im not good enough for dependable salary.

>>3483647

I'm jelly.

>>3483426
This is beautiful my man, thanks for sharing

>>3483582
I used to do that when I was younger. In the end I had to force myself to get rid of the tulpa.

And now that I think about it as I type this, this can make for a good story one day in a comic form. So I erased a chunk of this post as to keep the idea....

>>3483118
Im just wondering, if we pretend that these guys were currently active in dad, what teirs would they be? I'm not too familiar with most of them and I'm curious to see how they would compare to us.

Badger Update!

>Current challenges

The Album Challenge has concluded. 8 badges were awarded. I think everyone who participated did an excellent job.This is the rarest badger as of right now.

The Hands Challenge has concluded, also. 21 were awarded, making at least 2100 hands drawn! That's an impressive effort daddos.

Plein Air June is ongoing and it seems like the fatigue is starting to set in. 17 participants remain current forecast for circulation of this badger is pessimistically at 14. I hope for more though, only nine more to go!

Finally for current challenges, we have Can You Feel It?. No forecast for this challenge as it's hard to gauge, but by the end of today the participants should be at least 733 gestures. If for some reason you haven't started but intend to finish it, 111 gestures need to be done every day, plus one extra. Good luck if you're that guy.

>Upcoming Challenges
In order of start date (the challenges page sorts this way automatically):
Louis Wan (the cat one), June 25
Animation: July 1
Towergirls/boys: July1

>Other
Banana has confirmed that the 1000 page challenge will be removed. You can sleep easy now.

Summer challenge has started. While not all the daddos are fortunate enough to be warm/on fire for the next 92 days, I hope we finish up with more than the 19 flawless we had during spring! I believe in all of you.

>>3483779
completionists live to challenge another day

>>3483626
Yeah, THPS was one of the things that got me into skating too. I never got too good at it (like doing all grinds or flips from all stances), mostly because I didn't stress myself with learning tricks I didn't like, and did it just for fun and company. Ironically everyone I knew who came close to pro level stopped skating, because when you practice constantly you often forget to enjoy it and it just feels like a chore. It's the same thing with drawing really, if you feel that it becomes a chore, just back up and try to have some Fun With a Pencil, to remind yourself why you started doing it in the first place.

>>3483776
nani the fuck are u doing anon

listen here, next time you hide the hands im gonna come to your house and beat you with a wooden spoon

>leech
(album art) the composition is off, but the design is dope. those hands are cool as hell, though i wish the eyes were more pronounced. they're flat

>echo
hehee- i cant unsee jew hands

>potatoes_spaghetti
comfy- makes me wanna paint too!

>dough
horses arent that lo- .. oh. i guess they are. looks odd to me still, but i can't really put my finger on what it is.

>Aruvee
the background clashes with the foreground character. you could have left out that middle brown pillar altogether. and maybe add some subtle reflective light to the shadows on the character. i like his face, though

>Thaane
woah, i don't think ive ever looked at your stuff before. really good shit my man

>poloski
you gonna add some designs to the limbs to tie the design together? as i stands now the skull and limbs look like they dont belong together

>Femmipoo
congrats on christening a new sketchbook! it better be full before the end of the year :^)
your album art is really stellar, but i would've brought the horizon line lower to fit the 1/3rd rule. the height right now creates an awkward composition

>dattab
comfy water study! the sunset on the left is also lovely. i enjoy the subtle brush textures and how you didnt overblend/oversoften

>Oneironaut
draw from imagination more often, friend

>meru
you goddamn showoff, these are really nice and soft looking

>Carl
that lower right silhouette is cute af. id be really interested to see how you expand on it!

>kringlefkr
(table w/ vases) fug, very nice. for something so rough, the objects are actually distinguishable from one another and dont "melt" together like other pictures that contain many objects. ganbatte kringle!

>Beanhead
i like the sky bit but not the bottom half. the record part sliding out of the case also looks like a period stain im sorry

>tekkyJSKURT
i'm proud of how far you've come- start trying for more finished pieces over studies for a while. it'll help you find more issue to zero in on instead of drawing body parts at random

>Whizzard
aesthetic hands- probably my favorite of all the ones ive seen so far

>Masque

>mercy
hello newfriend! your stuff so far is nice- but i wanna see what you can really do. show us your power level and post something finished!

>st⋆rs
is that echo the dolphin

it might as well be, it's a fakemon concept for a project I somehow found myself doing with /vp/... it's a river dolphin that swims super fast with explosive soundwaves that it simultaneously uses to navigate and incapacitate prey

>>3483848
Thanks dad. Wish I could've improved on it a bit more but I'm all out of time

>>3483852

>>3483847
Hey there anon, thanks for commenting on my work! Aggretsuko here. Yes, I went a bit too crazy with the wrinkles here. I'll try to simplify the shapes when painting. Thanks for taking the time to make all those comments and give advice as well! Have a nice day.

>>3483779
thanks for posting

>skipped

Well, at least, I didnt get bullied

so the album cover is the rarest badge so far huh

>>3483785
Yeah, it is horrible when you forgot why you got into something.One should try to keep the love of the craft/creating alive.

master study challenge when?

>>3484278
Right after the I studied your mom challenge and 4th of July challenge.

>>3483847
I felt that it clashed, but I couldn't figure out how to make it look congruous; I can see how it would look much better without the middle pillar though lol, thank you for the critique!!

genzai here, got some problem with internet and somehow I uploaded same thing three times even though I did only once, could you delete two other submissions banana?

>>3484896

oh NOOOOO

>>3484924
>tfw you go back and look all through out his submissions and it seems similar
Ornitorrico is better than Nosebro though, so no.

>>3484932
Well he probably puts more effort to DAD than shitposting redlines on /ic/. So if you put 2 and 2 together...

>>3484924

i'm... really amused by this and a little bit offended

I have been lucky, it has been EXTRA DRY summer season this year. Yesterday was a first day when the weather was kinda shit, but it calmed down towards the noon. With this luck i feel like some sort of supercluster tornado lightning storm is going to kill me at the last day of the month.

One last territory before st*rs starts getting his revenge

Can I get some opinions on career stuff?
I'm trying to decide on two very different art-related career paths.
One is a personal project (Left and middle pics) that I'd really like to pursue but will probably not turn any eyes, let alone a profit.
It also isn't too good for improving at art since there is almost no painting involved and the artstyle is really simplistic, however I get to design and draw whatever the hell I want however the hell I want and it would be cool to have published something, specially an original IP.
The other one is to try to pursue an internship in a somewhat big game studio near from where I live, the pros are that it will be great for learning, eventually getting a decent industry job, make parents happy, and it's a pretty "arthouse-y" studio, so they have some interesting projects, the cons are that I would have to use a lame-ass industry-bro style (pic on the right), that I have 0 guarantees of getting the internship, that I forfeit most of my creative input and the 9-5 normiehood.
Any thoughts are welcome as I'm completely lost.

>>3485450
?? do both

1 is for fun, 2 is for work

>>3485482
I'm evaluating both as full time commitments, if I take the internship path I'll still sneak some time into the project but it can't really be compared to working on it full time.

Kirikae, where did you learn anatomy and figure drawing? Hampton? And how long have you been drawing, your figures look awesome!

>>3485450

Hmmm... I'd have to ask where you are in your life. Can you afford to "fall behind" while you risk working on your personal project in a gamble to reap its unusual benefits?

I spent some extra time in college... switched majors, switched schools, and as it turned out, my younger brother and I ended up finishing our undergraduate degrees at the same time. I joined the workforce almost immediately - a choice that set me on my career track for a long time now - while he went on a grand adventure to South America where they built a balsa wood raft in an attempt to reach Hawaii.

I'm not making this up.

Anyway, I've encountered a lot of interesting things in my life, and so has my brother, but I tell ya - it seems nicer to me to have the security of a "real job" with benefits and be able to put that first. Like having a college degree, a real job can be a serious stepping stone that opens doors you might not even know where there.

>>3485523
I'm relatively young, without debt so I can take some risk, at worst I just end up broke and having to flip burgers.
Yeah, the "real job" stability is pretty appealing to be honest.

>>3485485
yes. 2 is for work 1 is for fun. do both.

>>3485543
>>3485450
to elaborate
getting your first job/internship etc. is worth more than most anything else in this industry.
the risk being that #2 you're probably going to phone it in and do a subpar product and not get the internship.

>>3485545
>>3485545
internship is a temporary opportunity while personal projects are available literally any time you have time to spare.

internship is a temporary opportunity while personal projects are available literally any time you have time to spare.

>>3485450
Obviously the internship. Not only it's good that you get that networking going for more job opportunities later, you said yourself that is a good opportunity to improve your art. After you leave, with a better set of skills, with better art and workload management, and hopefully money savings in the pocket, you can work on your personal project. Along the way maybe you get fast enough to work on both paid and personal projects at the same time.

how do you make yourself try harder

I really like how there's a new leaderboard every season.
I didn't manage to finish as a flawless last time, but this time I'll do it for sure!

>>3485054
>tfw skipped on the image
but why
How did you choose who should be there?

>>3485596
It's like taking a cold shower.
You can just stand there naked and try to talk yourself into doing it, but in the end you just do it.

>>3485596
the thought of getting older and still shit

>>3485603
I think the anon who made that counted the daily dads at the time.

>>3485450
Imagine how much you would learn under a seasoned artist. Internship would be a great opportunity for you. Just keep chipping away on your personal project when you can.
