Asg would be proud.

janny being a huge fag again
no one likes you

>>5147242
yeah fuck dad.gallery mods, brother. Rise up!

cat shit

>>5147226
cum

and so once again lil soda decided to dedicate his remaining years in this world to a community he's no longer wanted

Have you drawn today lassies? I'm on topic janny don't be butthurt uwu

>>5147301
I’m watching the inauguration first and then I’ll have some jimmy johns and a sprite. And then I’ll draw.

>>5147311
jimmy johns sound really good actually
ill order some after this too, thanks anon

>>5147338
oops forgot to remove name

I'm such a lazy slut daddy won't you spank me and tell me to do my gesture drawings already??

>>5146377
Thanks for the advice, does this look any better? I made the majority of fixes you suggested, there were a couple of writings I couldn't read legibly though.

>>5147789
You need to work on your legs or something. This is almost acceptable int level.

>>5146179
>>5146173
I fixed the head and stuff a bit and finished the piece. Thanks again. Gonna go back to studying for a bit

>>5147948
this isn't beg tier, as a line drawing it's good

>>5148078
Check your eyes.

>>5148079
what? just because it's a boring image? the hands are well done

>>5147948
>>5148078
>>5148079
>>5148081
Judging images based off it being "beg" or "int" or "pro" and trying to achieve higher ranks is fucking retarded and pointless. It means nothing. its empty words. You know whats more useful? Saying whats wrong with the image, whats good, and how they can improve, instead of lumping people into arbitrary tier lists
His shit is good and I like it. He needs to work on more interesting compositions and character designs. His fundies are fine and are at the stage that theyll improve with mileage and occasional studying to reinforce his knowledge. Stop dropping a 3 letter word as a form of critic and think a little bit. It makes everyone more retarded and reinforces that critique doesn't have to take effort, which leads to shitposting and shit critique.

>>5148088
yes thank you anon I agree, just this anon >>5147948 annoyed me trying to put it into a box where he could write off the artist's obvious capabilities.
I also like his work, but agree his character design work could have more fun and 'character' to it, same for the composition. Other than that, it's good.
Maybe factoring in a background could help with making a dynamic composition, more interesting shapes.

>>5148094
>>5147789
I'd say for composition, that it doesn't have to be that detailed for it to lead your eye, just some sensical shapes. If it's more of a 'key art' type image maybe her clothes flapping in the wind or something would be better.
A good idea is to steal ideas from other artists

>>5147338
i want food as well :(

>>5148094
I don’t get it. You beg for tierlists but as soon as I put you in a box you scream about it.

>>5148202
I know you're dumb but I hoped you realised that you talk to different people in these threads

>>5148214
I don’t consider you as a person so I lump all in 1 category so my apologies.

>>5148228
if no one likes you, why do you still come to these threads anon

>>5148232

Take a guess.

>>5148240
all answers are too sad to contemplate

>>5148240
You’re autistic

>>5148088
talk to em

>>5148249
Heeh, is that so.

>>5148264
sad as in you have mental health problems.

>>5148286

Posters like you is why God is good.

>>5147226
I waited for the whole day for a new thread with a good pic and you gave me this?!

>>5148343
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

>>5148240
Revenge!!!

>>5148376

you weren't joke about the all furries on dadcord

Any tips for working longer hours /dad/s? It feels like my mind just goes blank upon reaching the first hour then poof every stroke by then just makes the piece worse somehow

>>5148489
They'll be dealt with soon enough.

>>5148489
Pretty cringe, init?

>>5148493
yeah, open up a different project and work on that.
if continuing work on the project doesn't make it any better then you're effectively noodling on a piece that's pretty much already in its "complete" state. move on to the next piece.
if you don't feel your piece is complete, figure out why. either way try to catch yourself when you're just whittling at something slowly, since that's essentially wasted time.

awful op

>>5148493
Idk what your process is like, but front-loading myself with the technical aspects of a piece like the construction, anatomy, and a clean sketch help me work for longer hours since its always very clear to me what the next step in the process is. Once the construction is done its time for the clean up sketch, once that is done its time to block in base colors, etc. Ime messier processes make it easier to get stuck since you get stuck between rendering and correcting construction mistakes.

>>5148493
what's this timer app that all the /dad/s use, I always see it but never know where its from

>>5148548
https://neilblr.com/post/58757345346

Holy shit my submission is the OP image? Neat.

KILL ALL JANNIES!

>>5148619
grats man, you deserve it.

>>5148525
Seriously. If you're not going to try, why are you even making these threads?

>>5148647

The thread maker is draining the swamp. It's good dads who will never get the OP make it as OP.

>>5148654
yeah sure keep telling that to yourself

>>5148659
weep

>>5148654
This.
Reminder if the janny is the one making the OP/ it’s this idiot they’re only putting you as OP out of spite.
>>5147246
>>5148240
>>5148264
>>5148374

>>5148664
Oh you mean 4chan janitors and not dad mod. Even more lunacy conspiracy. Stupid dads.

>>5148664
Absolutely based, these threads are shit and likely due to that one autist who shall not be named

It's okay, I'll work harder to make my drawings better, so they're worthy of being chosen as OP one day.

>>5148673
Don’t let these guys bring you down. It’s good random dads are being featured and not just the same alphabet soups.

>>5148654
I agree with this.

>>5148654
>it’s good someone’s 30min chicken scratch gets shown off instead of a painting someone spent hours on
Disagree

>>5148681
It gives a false perception of what the site is. Dad isn’t full of people who can complete finished work. The vast majority of you produce studied and sketches. It’s good to represent your user base.

All you’re basically arguing with me is your fellow buddies work is shit.

>>5148684
basically this, yeah

>>5148684
Is that really the work even the artist would want to show off though? Why not have finished pieces rather than sketches, regardless of quality

>>5148688
True, but you'd bitch and complain regardless of who is picked. This is a pointless argument and a waste of my precious time. so have fun filling the thread with useless posts.

>>5148690
if you genuinely don't care why even waste your time
let someone else do it

>>5148690
Does anyone complain when its a finished piece? No

Why does cory have the fewest people (even removing inactives) but the highest time by 300 hours

>>5148700
The average user in Cory has almost 10 more hours put in than the average user of Arrest, which is in second place.

>>5148708
Damn
Why did all the high hour users choose Cory

>>5148713
Because it's the coolest house.

In reality, all the people who care about winning join the winning house, the people who don't are equally likely to choose any house, thus it's way more likely for people who take winning the houses more seriously to cluster into the same house.

>>5148715
Well I always think its more fun to join the underdog houses and make a come back (which seems to never happen)

>>5148715
That makes sense for late joiners, but looking at the house charts, most of the top 10 in Cory was there from nearly day 1, and those users make up about 776.5 of the hours
RELOAD joined later but allegedly RNG'd and I don't remember cranihum

The top house thing makes sense but I find it funny that the people with the highest hours all aggregated there before it was definitively the top house

>>5148717
Last month I joined Penis when it was middle house because >penis, and we won

>>5148717
Honestly the only way to make them competitive is to randomize people into houses, which is 0 fun.

>>5148718
It makes perfect sense. Even if they're ahead by a little, that's a small benefit, and it just keeps adding up.

>>5148717
came very close to happening with hands last month, started out at the bottom and ended up a hair below penis

>>5148720
It does, but I wouldn't have picked Cory if I was a user joining at the start that wanted to win
At the beginning of the month (first 1-4 days) I recall Skycrow and Brother-kun both had insanely high hour times, I expected Notosh to put in more time than he has, and If I remember correctly, dingle is a neet that draws all day

>>5148718
>>5148721
sob sob I was in hand house

>>5148723
When I checked when on day 1, Cory was in first place, iirc.

It could also be all the high time users are friends, and pick the same house.

>>5148729
On day 1, Cory was in first place because a new user (Takoyaki) put in 4 hours or so, but after that, it fluctuated a lot. I might be getting the timeline slightly wrong since I was sick, but I know Skycrow dumped a shitload of hours when they were posting their Genshin style study. At some point, I recall Cory had the most users and maybe was first or second, but the highest individual hour-counters were in House Arrest or Clown, and if you go by last month, while teamwork made the dream work for Penis, high individual user counts can also carry really hard (enough to win if everyone else also puts in some effort)

I wonder if the friend thing is the case. My time is rather high but I wasn't friends with anyone. Mostly I seemed to see people joining Clown house based on friendship, actually.

>>5148727
Tragic

>being in the nigger house

>>5148768
Why aren't you carrying your house to victory if you're in House Arrest or Clown, anon? Awful lazy of you.

overtake the catshit op maker

>>5148970
this thread was made before the previous thread reached page 9

It's just a fucking image used to repeat a thread. Holy fucking shit. Go draw.

>>5148980
Dads are mentally not well in the head.

>>5148980
your op sucks and so do you

>>5148986
I'm not animuheads, shizo.

>>5148980
The dads drawing aren't reading this shit. What you have here are the chronic procrastinators looking for an excuse not to draw.

>>5148991
i just spent the last hour drawing and 2 minutes read and post here

>>5148991
I already have 2 hours and I'm not going to bed until the morning. Losers who complain about the OP are just that, losers.

>>5148980
it's tradition, remember when you got your first op image? it felt good to have someone bother to take the time to write the fucking word 'dad' on it and recognise your hard work.
Now the op's are anything and the reason is why the fuck not. don't make the threads if you don't care

>>5148994
me too, but nobody knows that

ah, naruhodo

>>5149002
Take a hint already. You deserve this.

>>5148987
I'm animuheads, and I didn't make the OP. I legit woke up and checked the thread, and someone made it. I wouldn't use my own work to make a thread. I'm pretty critical of my own work as it is, nevermind broadcasting it.

>>5149009
deserve what? I don't understand what you're getting at

>>5149016
You deserve getting yelled at for hitting my dog.

>>5149019
so you're saying you're deliberately and knowingly making poor op images. That's just rude to the artist's your using.

>>5149022
I did not say that? You're the one complaining because it isnt one of your friends picked for the hundredth time.

>>5149028
I have no friends in dad, but I'm getting the sense that you wish you were in their clique, they hurt you didn't they diddums

>>5149032
Yes and for that they must pay in every way possible but that has nothing to do with selecting OP images.

>>5148980
I take this as an opportunity to shit on our lil soda buddy

It all makes sense now lol

Not a high hour user but when I joined it was the house in last place and I wanted to support the underdog. Now I’ve become the monster I sought out to destroy.

Dear friends, the great internet purge is coming. As we enter the technological dark ages, remember this internet freedom you used to have. As the black hands of china, the leftist authoritarians will corrupt the world. Censorship, corruption and oppression will rise. The battle for freedom will come and you must be ready to fight for it by any means necessary. When it does, remember to never give up on your art.

It will require your last ounce of courage to keep expressing yourself, despite the circumstances or your situtation. With a little luck and unyielding determination, you will survive. To sing praises of the muses and to be the tool of the gods. I used to say just draw, knowing what is to come, i will say, keep drawing.

>>5149990
Is China banning pencil and paper? No? Then shut up.

>>5149990
Well duh, Dad is a prime example of the purging, a hug box for banana and his little furry henchman.

>>5149998
Shh, they don’t want to read their own hypocrisy.

How do you delete your DAD account? I don't feel like sharing my ugly art anymore.

>>5150073
Hey anon nobody care about your art
Just keep drawing and you will improve

>>5150079
That still does not answer my question, I am sure there are people who want to delete their accounts for other reasons.

>>5150073
Post your dad name and I will notify the incompetent programmer to have your account purged.

>>5150081
Okayyh

>>5150082
Notify him to add a 'delete account' button. Fuck why did I even sign up fro this without checking if the button was there in the first place.

>>5150084
That should be basic user interface implementation from day one. He’s a retard so what can I say more.

>>5150091
No it should not, there are websites that don't have that option.

I blame me for not checking if DAD had it.

>>5150094
Those websites and the people who manage them are also retards.

>>5150094
The difference is that those sites have user policies. Where as dad does not. There's a window for banana to be sued.

>>5150118
Those websites also allow you to remove your content. Dad does not.

If Banana honors the DMCA take-down notice by taking down the picture (and banning your account at his leisure), what grounds are there for reimbursement?

I didn't study American law, but I'm pretty sure the DMCA (the act, not the take-down notice) protects the site in this case.

>>5150654
>and banning your account at his leisure
Ooowoo I'm so scarred

>>5150711
I didn't mean to be scary, but you said "rinse and repeat", which made it seem like you wanted to do it over and over. I only really meant to point out that Banana is allowed to ban you for issuing a take-down notice for your own posts, which would make the rinsing and repeating take a pretty long time.

>>5150737
>Banana is allowed to ban you for issuing a take-down notice for your own posts
You have no idea how I can at any time fuck banana in the ass.

>(NOTE: If you are gathering user’s personal data, you are required by law to have a formal Privacy Policy – even if you don’t have a Terms and Conditions page.)

He better lawyer up if at any point I decide to sue him which I perfectly can in my case.

>>5150737
no tos means no legitimate grounds for removal ever
as long as i dont break federal or state law i can sue him for removing access without a contractual breach

>inb4 this gets deleted for "community" drama while the admin shitting isn't
ah sou the irony desu

>>5150176
I don't even interact with him but it's so exhausting to read and scroll through his posts. He can't take a hint he said so himself that he's an asspie.

>>5150176
Is it really so hard for lascord admins to tell him to dial back the posting, it's not like people don't complain about it.

>>5151435
hes been told by normal members too and hasnt done anything to change

>>5151435
it's been done several times but he can't take a hint coz of assburgers

>>5151328
Why does it matter if someone says a mean word to him? He doesn’t read the threads remember? 1 man has managed to keep in the back of his mind at all times for a year and a half to never to read his ad general because he’ll be hurt by boogiemen. Another man has managed to make him crumble to his feet and install extra unnecessary security and hire users for unpaid internship to monitor possible chads from infiltrating them in fear that they, gasp, draw something...something the admin doesn’t do himself.

Another man managed to make his adult diaper soil so bad he raised a forums overnight after years of meeming. Another man single handedly threatened to sue and he coils up and realizes his mistake. So much so he has a bouncer discord user (in the op macro) to take invites to the server instead of dealing with them himself as he is the admin; the leader who should lead by example. Point any and more of this out itt? His caretakers come out and protect him....but he doesn’t read the threads. Interesting how this works.

>>5148954
Do you like pointy things? How do you draw them?

It goes both ways, bud.

>>5152031
just make some abstract fillers

>mfw always have a few unpublished backup drawings in case I'm unable to meet the deadline or just plain lazy.

It boggles the mind. I feel like I'm legit regressing the more i draw. Maybe I'm just losing the drive? Feels like i don't remember my work process and i slowly become lost in what ever im working on. I go back to what ever i made 1 month ago and im convinced i wouldn't be able to replicate it. Do i have brain damage or what?

I’ve heard that you shouldn’t store your markers vertically. I got this box at target that is the perfect width for markers. I like to spear my hands into the bottom and pluck out my favorite colors

>>5152737
>I’ve heard that you shouldn’t store your markers vertically.
That makes sense. Seems like all the ink could run down to one end and pool there. Additionally, sometimes the cap on the bottom end of the marker gets left behind when I pull out the one I'm planning to use, and I have to stop what I'm doing to fish it out with my fingers.

Maybe I should lay the containers down on their sides until I'm ready to work.

Wait correction just this general.

>>5152703
DAD is dying because of the entry bar is too fucking high for anyone to really linger. And now the rules are being enforced more than before(30 mins minimum and dad is not a gallery), and you still have retards with high streaks trying to cheat the system. It loses value every day because people can easily cheat>>5152259
, oh and reinstating is just as retarded.

>>5152826
A entry bar is the best thing any community could have if filters out all low iq droolers like yourself. Cheating isn't really an issue. The website isn't there for you to try to "win" some competition, It's there to gamify good habits. But since you never realized this it's really easy to tell that you're a turbo ngmi.

>>5149161
Thank you so much for the help senpai, I've already fixed some of those you mentioned in there but I added some of the adjustments you suggested. I'm going to start coloring now

Real banger. I'll have to admit.

>>5152858
You've never been on the motivated losers group, and entry bar is lower, and it died fast.

>>5152965
I miss Unmotivated Losers, comfy room. There were some good users in there too.

>>5152965
Not him but I joined ML before it went discord only and they were serious and actually helped. In fact it as a whole lasted much longer than LAS was alive.

>>5152965
Obviously since it only attracted losers with it's low entry bar my man

>>5152976

That was the shtick of ML. A loser who was unmotivated to draw. And a father figure to make you draw. The sad thing was you only had to post once per week.

But that’s more than what banana does, anyway.

>>5152980
Tbh i've only been apart of dad for 40 somehting days so i have no idea how long it's been going on. But i see people with quite long streaks so i'm guessing it's been around for a while now. I don't see why it would die out or anything like some people claim. I'm guessing it's just them burning out and getting demotivated that's making them whine

/ourboy/ is making it https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/87208530

>>5152986
People whining on /ic/? No, that would never happen.

>>5152988
>>5152989
Tell me frens. Do i have a shot at making it? Thinking about making a twitter for coom shekels

>>5152988
How much did you make?

Also reminder that only this many people made $$ in the "challenge". The power of dad.gallery, folks.

>>5152993
you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, make socials sooner rather than later

>>5152999
I know for a fact some of the people that didn't submit do commissions on the regular

>>5153012
But like i look at all the actually good artists out there and it seems like they first started posting when they reached god tier skill. Won't i smear my reputation if i start posting a lot of garbage for a following? Surely future employers won't look at my stuff and go "wow look at how much he developed", rather, "hey look at all this cancer bad stuff he released during the years we sure can't have this dude on the team"?

It might be good for getting coom bux tho. I can't wait to draw furry futa prolapse midget horse commissions.

>>5153017
suuure

>>5153027
if that's your work then you're already over the line where normies care about skill. even if you don't go for money now, if you have a following then it gives you the option in the future. stop making excuses and just fucking do it.

>>5152999
11 dads with an understanding mum.

>>5153027
I think they will understand that you didn't start out as a master painter, but you can always make a new account.

>>5153027
>>5153039
Actually nevermind, I didn't read that you wanted to start a porn account. Still, you can always have different accounts at the same time. The chances that they'll find your other account are pretty slim, especially if you intentionally use a different workflow for your different identities.

>>5153027
>But like i look at all the actually good artists out there and it seems like they first started posting when they reached god tier skill.
N A M E S

>>5153039
>I think they will understand that you didn't start out as a master painter, but you can always make a new account.
But like, find a bad painting made by this dude https://www.artstation.com/bayardwu
There is none. Do pros delete their old works then as their skill gets better to keep their reputations clean?

>>5153037
It is. But my work is insanely inconsistent, just picking out the better parts there. Should i make a new handle for twitter or use my old one? I'm kind of afraid that it's going to get linked back to other things but it feels really weird to use a name i'm not used to.

>>5153049
I have no idea what my work flow even is my man

>>5153080
> There is none. Do pros delete their old works then as their skill gets better to keep their reputations clean?
Yes? Who the hell would put old shitty art on their portfolio. Hell, lots hobbyists will remake their DA accounts after a few years to distance themselves from the art they made as kids.

>>5153080
>Do pros delete their old works then as their skill gets better to keep their reputations clean?
Artstation accounts are usually a curated portfolio, so if it's not good, it usually isn't on there. I think most people don't even start an Artstation account until they want to get a job.

Ah, makes sense. Since i've never uploaded my stuff anywhere i have no idea about things like that.

>>5152826
>30 minutes a day
>entrybar too high
lmao

>>5153141
If you accumulate that time for every 7 days that’s definitely more time than banana.

>>5153145
...so? what is the point you're trying to make, even if that were so? Or like, are you whining that banana is beating you and that you literally cannot even beat banana because of the unfair too high entrybar?

Finally some drama, you guys had me starving over here.

>>5153152

I will reach 30 hours by the end of today in the 7 day period although in my case it should be much, much higher, so I admit defeat there. Meanwhile eht1banana has less than 30 minutes until the day it's time to submit.

>>5153177
forgot my picture

>>5153104
maybe because theyve been posting for years and by the time twitter, artstation etc became a thing they were already pro
lots of those people used to post daily sketches and things on conceptart.org in like 2008

>>5153177
that still doesn't explain what your problem with the entrybar is, if that's so you're doing just fine??

>>5153141
That isn't the problem. The problem is mods are being incredibly uppity about it now than ever before with new dads. Hell, they issue warnings for not meeting those requirements. and /beg/ tards with huge streaks offer less with their cheating tactics https://dad.gallery/submissions/96977, but they don't get the stick, the new dads do. Nice honor system.

>>5153207
I've never seen that but the fact that you sound like a schizo makes me very disinclined to believe anything you've said.

>>5153203
You're talking to 2 different humans.

>>5153217
You can't see it because most dads just fucking leave before their accounts get approved. Which no one fucking knows how to get approved at this point.

>>5153191
Just a random question. I don't know if you post your art on twitter but how should i go about it. Do i need to use hashtags and retweet people to get noticed or will i go under the radar if i don't? I don't use twitter or any normie social media so i have no fucking clue. I can't make a pixiv since i don't do trannyme style stuff. Should i just sell out and do it?

>>5153222
I actually can see, by looking at the daily levelups and eliminations. We can see that about 5 babies joined and died yesterday, but another 5~ hit lv 2-4 meaning that they've stuck for the website for 1-3 weeks. Since new daddies joining for a day and immediately quitting isn't something new, there's nothing to be alarmed about. I've never seen your alleged below 30 minute mod warnings and I don't believe any lv1 that was eliminated yesterday had gotten any.

>>5153242
Yeah, lets pretend nothings happening.

>>5153264
I thought more people then ever used the site?

>>5153264
I'm not pretending that nothing is happening, you're pretending something is happening.

>>5152988
wish I hadn't clicked that, he's getting commissioned and paid for tracing. I know I shouldn't give a damn but when he's getting two things I'm missing, money and attention, for little work, it twists my nuts into a bunch

>>5153295
people like that will never have enough attention, thats why they shitpost here
even people telling them to fuck off helps them feel noticed
I'd rather be an unknown artist forever than be that desperate for (you)s

>>5153274
I did a quick fact check for you and from 2019 to 2021 the site grew from 91 to 150. That's only 59 users in a 2 year span of which many accounts were just accounts made by users who already were on dad, including myself.

>>5153295
wait is he tracing? how do you know? I mean his skill level does fluctuate wildly but still

>>5153222
whats actually happening with approvals, how do they work
some people post in the discord asking why theyve still not been approved and idk how to help them

>>5153303
are you physically incapable of not being retarded? how are those 59 new uses just accounts made by people who were already on /dad/? are people just making two accounts for literally no reason? just to own the libs epic style or what? Also that's still a growth no matter how you try to spin it, a 50% one, which is huge.

>>5153299
I usually feel like this but since i'm drunk i've changed my mind. Gimmegimme attention. I mean, otherwise it's wasted effort isnt' it?

>>5153303
Well slow and steady wins the race? Keeping retards away is the real win.

>>5153295
What did he trace? And more importantly what attentions did he get? he is still on 0 comments on most of his stuff.

>>5153308
>are people just making two accounts for literally no reason?
Yeah? I've done it since LAS.

>>5153305
>>>/aco/4888488
it's mentioned in almost every comm thread

why? it was a pixiv link?

>>5153341
it was a link to happys youtube channel where he reviews /dad/ artists very poorly by giving /beg/ tier advice. It always makes some daddies seethe.

>>5153341
link to a HappyBoyNumber1 youtube video . Am i breaking rules for harassment for mentioning this?

>>5153346
Well at least we know jannie hates cancer boy.

Directly linking an account is simply advertising, intentional or not.

>>5153527
Even if it's cringe tier material? Maybe it's as they say, all attention is good attention. Don't mind me posting my stuff for attention then

any other burgers went out and bought the lotto?

>>5153576
You know only poor people with no hope buys lotto tickets?

>>5153582

I guess all the people who go to casinos are also poor as well, huh Einstein?

>>5153590
Low class at least. A common misconception is that class is connected to money, which it isn't. It's connected to your last name.

>>5153229
Try using only 1-2 hashtags, I suspect twitter algo decreases your tweet priority on the tag search/TL if you use more than that. Also shoot for small but actively browsed tags, like those for anniversaries, special events, or running challenges. Other artists usually won't notice you unless you follow and reply to them or draw them gift art, after which many may follow back even if just as courtesy.

>>5153599
Imagine doing a drawing for 1 follower

>>5153599
ty mate. I'll give it a try once i'm sober
also art is done to your honor. No need to thank me.

there are some really fucking sharp, intelligent and classy world class poker players out there

>>5153624
i mean i dont disagree

>>5153617
Not talking about iq here, since it's not exclusive to social standing. But if your idea of a "fancy vacation" is spending your time gambling i don't know what to say to yopu. I have a knightly name and i get invited to exclusive event or parties every week even if i never attend fuckign anything since i'm a hiki pretty much, but it still cracks me up thinking how the average person imagines high class people spenign their time. Note also that im broke, these parties would serve me alcohol for more then 2 moths of social benefits lfmao.

>>5153637
> if your idea of a "fancy vacation" is spending your time gambling i don't know what to say to you
i dont think anyone made this assertion
are you upset about something anon

>>5153642
His dad was an obsessive gambler and left his mom when he was 9 years old.

>>5153642
I'm not. Maybe i'm jst drunk enough to misunderstand soemthing? Just read this and drew some conclusions.
>I guess all the people who go to casinos are also poor as well, huh Einstein?

>>5153645
Fuck man. Sucks

>>5153645
kek can't read. My dad is just an academic that ended up making no money since he spent to much time on studying something none gives a fuck about. Classic misstake

>>5153612
Obv you shouldn't take requests from creepy fetish bros or randoms, but if you like a particular artist already and know 0 people it's easier to get the ball rolling than to only make 30 original masterpieces and hope one of them takes off right? Also helps to make friends and connections as many people like to be approached first.
>>5153614
Social media has always been unfair to growing artists, unless it's directly manipulating people I see no wrong with gaming the system. But true you never have to do anything against your pride to prosper. Godspeed anon

>>5153841
You can draw something simple but make it cute/well designed still

>>5147226
sometimes this feels hopeless

I just joined DAD so I don't know the etiquette of what's ok to post. I draw/design repeat tile patterns for side money. Its somewhere between art and graphic design. Can I post them to DAD on days where I work on that and don't have much time to draw? Or is that not cool

>>5153856
Yeah, any visual art is allowed.

>>5153856
It's fine

>>5153446
Jesus christ man

>>5153446
i love these galleries on da cause these people are so out of touch with reality that they just do whatever they like and it feels comfy. especially those horrible ctrl+c ctrl+v abominations made in paint

>>5153856

Anything from painting, 3D modeling, sculpture, printing, journal entries, Kanji practice, street performances, baking, photography, and blood on the wall counts.

>>5154272
fuck off ramune

There should be an option to upload video links as submissions.

WIP, experimenting

whats with the comments
i bet ill be skipped

Is been a while since the last time I visited DAD and I already don't know who the fuck are all these new begshits.
What happened to the group from 2017-2019? Did they gave up?
I remember one did really cool gif tutorials. Most of them were women too. What happened to shrinycat? Banana?

>>5155207
>What happened to shrinycat
Little known to /dad/ the original shrineycat is me. Don't tell them that bombshell info though.

>>5155207
>What happened to the group from 2017-2019? Did they gave up?
A lot of better artists moved away from Dad over the past few years since the community doesn't really offer much if you're mid-/int/ or higher and have good productivity already
>What happened to shrinycat?
Shrineycat reitred and was replaced by several other Shrineys, Currently we have a lolishitter shriney who insists on putting /beg/ art in the OP because it featureslittle girls.
>Banana?
Banana is still here but he doesn't check the threads anymore.

>>5155278
I retired because I got a job.

>>5155287
Let me see if I can find my old sheiney password on my old laptop...if I can find the charger that is.

>>5155207
/dad/ has a lot higher userpop these days. I really don't know what you expected, the exact same users from 3-4 years ago? lmao. Thread is currently shrineless, used to have shriney ops until like 4 threads ago, but we cycled through multiple shrineys in these 3-4 years. Banana is as alive as he always was?

>>5155207
dad is dying

>>5155336
It will continue to die for many more years :^)

ObfuscatedGREEN feeling bad is not an excuse for borderline being an asshole and /or try to put down others.
If you really dislike art so much you might as well stop your own misery.
If its something outside of art , i hope.you can talk with someone or get a therapist.
But you cant keep going like this.

>>5155306
>I really don't know what you expected, the exact same users from 3-4 years ago?
isnt the point to keep a streak going?

>>5155441
yes but nobody is flawless? what do you think the chance is of somebody making no mistakes, having no power outages, having no accidents, having no computer problems, never sleeping in, keeping their motivation up etc etc. for 3 years?

>>5155373
What ObfuscatedGREEN did? Explain this, anon.

I just realized that "upload by 24" meant upload at the 23rd and not "you have until the start of the 25th to upload" and not i'm sad because my pierrot was looking hella cute

>>5155373
This is hate speech

I feel this great urge, deep, deep in my loins to create something, to finally have a project, a goal, to inspire me and get me out of bed to work on with dedication and passion...
And when I envision this great unrealised work, and imagine what it could look like, when I let it occupy my mind with how it could develop from a mere sketch to finished piece, I see... I SEE....
NOOOTTHHIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGG

>>5155441
i'm still here :)

>>5155445
are you retarded or just new?

>>5155589
so what's the point you're trying to make? I didn't say there is no chance, I implied the chance was very low.

When will my DAD crush return from buying eggs and milk? It’s been months

>>5155481
Relatable

>>5155603
that its not ridiculous to expect to see familiar faces on a site all about keeping a streak going for months if not years. LAS people had streaks of like 2.5 years before it went down too.

>>5155628
it's ridiculous to expect a majority of familiar faces though. As you can see there's still a portion of the oldguard active, like 25% of them actually. It's just that the userbase has grown by a lot since then.

>>5155468
Seconding. Only thing I can see is he left a bunch of comments on people's work.

>>5155633
sounds like the poster we're talking about recognised almost no one though, and was surprised by that
most of the big or memorable names have gone

>>5155373
This is some kind of bait?

Man, the threads are better when its a shitheap.

there's always that one beg who sticks around and critiques people and then leaves in a week

>>5155634
yeah, they are just sort of weird non sequitur comments. Like "Looks OK" or "Don't like this subject matter".

>>5155674
Why are male animeposters always so autistic like this?

>>5155678
Because you hyperfocus on the ones that are.

>>5155678
Racist and sexist

>>5155659
When you ban the only person that made dad feel alive, now its just a graveyard.

>>5155787
Quality > Quantity

Apparently this looks fine enough to be posted out of /Beg/, I doubt but meh~ maybe here I get some feedback.

>>5156155
If you're posting artwork outside of /beg/ then you belong in /beg/, if you are posting artwork in /beg/ then you have no business posting in /beg/ and are just fishing for compliments. Welcome to the state of /ic/ discourse.

>>5156155
Did you use a real person as reference? Some times i see people using photo reference of normal looking women for bodies and just scale up the head for the anime effect. Usually this gives the impression of a fat dwarf not a cute girl. Keep pushing and you will go places my man

>>5155787
Who?

>>5156473
Your mom

Lafayatte man i just checked your entire gallery. It seems like you have barely improved. I mean your rendering definitely has improved but man your proportions are still as wrong/unappeling as ever. No amount of rendering or those nice touch ups you do to pretty up your pieces will ever fix your foundation.
As you draw a lot of people have you ever considered and going back to doing some loomis for proportions , hampton , anything really. Wish you could do much better and i understand your stuff is supposed to have a degree of stylization but your shapes look wrong. Probably because they are not rooted in reality.
Hope you can maybe do some studies every once in a while as i would really like you to succeed.
Much love tiki.

>>5156662
why not use anon comment?

>>5156668
I considered it. I was afraid it could get me banned as we dont yet have clear guidelines of where the line between tough love and harassment is.
Hope the moderation team could put up some examples of what is and what is not acceptable.

>>5156678
I'd like to think you're good to go, but we don't get examples of what was actually deleted when it is deleted.

Weekly Drawpile reminder!

>>5156662


I appreciate that you took the time to look at my stuff and write this post, even if I'm having a hard time finding anything really helpful in it so far.

The things you advise me to do to improve are things that I already do, albeit not very seriously recently because I had lost motivation to draw until 2 days ago. I still do studies though, but those studies are more often than not "not rooted in reality" as you said, since they are from artist who draw things that typically don't reflect reality.

The problem with a crit based around "appeal" is that appeal is a very subjective concept. I can understand that you find my stuff unappealing, you have your tastes and I have mine. Since I don't know who you are, you could be someone who find appeal in things that are at the polar opposite of what I do. Maybe you could give me some names of artists that draw similar subjects and that you find appealing so I can learn from them, then I can at least have a reference point of what you mean by "appeal". I see a lot of artists that draw pieces that I find personally appealing but with "wrong" proportions, and it doesn't ruin the piece unless I really focus on it. I guess I'm unconsciously trying to do reach the same level of "not worrying". Maybe my proportions look wrong because I'm less aiming for anatomical correcteness and more for proportions that make my dick hard.

To be honest, I don't expect a lot of people to like the cringy porn I draw, the main thing that motivates me to draw it is being horny so it's very plausible that it just isn't your thing.

I will agree though that I haven't improved a lot, I'm still very new to art and I'm still trying to find what I enjoy to draw, and that is my main goal right now.

I really believe there is something very valuable to learn from the crits you could give me. We can continue this discussion in DMs if you don't want to expose yourself here, my discord account is Thunderounet#7174.

NTA but the problem really isn't your appeal, but your fundies. You can keep your style you have currently, you just need to understand your own constuction better. You can draw in whatever style you want, but as-is you have lots of issues with faces and bodies looking warped or flat. I think it would benefit you to so some more precise construction studies of heads and bodies, preferably on real photos or 3d models so you don't pick up other artist's bad habits.

New thread: >>5157316

>>5157287
Thanks for the redraw, it looks nice. You got it right, after drawing construction for a certain amount of time, I started drawing it less and less detailed and probably lost a bit of precision in doing so.

Like I said, if it looks good to me, then I don't bother checking. I'll try to do be more careful now.
