Finally on to my next drawing.
Currently working on this one. Can anyone give give some advice or suggestions?
Or redline if possible.

Working on this.

Fucking pen stopped working, need to wait for monday to get a new one

>>16774329
You're misusing the quote function. If you used it properly, maybe people wouldn't out you for being silly.

>>16772729
I've always been wondering: Shouldn't it say "Whom are you quoting?"

Yeah, yeah. Fuck off back to /qa/ if you're so hellbent on following your "rules".

>>16774889
Please leave

>>16775722
Alright, last time turned out well, so I'll do it again.
Might turn out ugly though.

Could you please keep this a OC thread and not a touhou get and roll thread? I know it's hard.

Does this look at least half-decent?

>>16780060
And an even better version because layers work like magic.
I'm keeping the bettererest version for myself

>>16779924

Here's a wadda too I guess

>>16781659
this is cute and all but I thing that she is too long/skinny.
Try using other proportions or something.
keep it up anon.

>>16782467
Thanks for the tips

I'm trying things out

>>16783513

>>16763501
I really like this spritework. What's the context?

Where's the anon that said he'll remake a Touhou in java? Are here right now?

>>16776865
A decent starting point would be to take your favorite and least favorite battle shonen manga. Then ask yourself these:
- What is it about my favorite manga makes me like them, and what can I take from it?
- What is it about my least favorite manga makes me dislike them, and how can I fix it to make it better?

>>16776865
Tournaments, evil organizations and a rival are musts.
>>16784673
Good ideas.

>>16779752
I like it, man. It has a certain sense of comedy, dunno why, really. It kinda feels like a "fuck it" moment judging by the characters expression.
Is she possessed by the ghost?
>>16780076
This one isn't funny at all lel
I like your sense of design, though.

Tried colorizing for the first time in over a year.

>>16785100
>Is she possessed by the ghost?

something like that yeah but i havent really put too much thought into it just yet. thanks!

i like your design as well, its pretty sick. the color palette on right suits it best IMO.

>>16786699
Ya no problem and thanks as well. I feel like you're right, the middle one was the original palette, but the one on the right seems to have the best overall feel to it.

Colors next.

And finished this one.

Are requests permitted here?

>>16792324
Unless the artists themselves actively ask for it? No, not to my knowledge.

>>16791408
This is really good anon, nice design.

>>16792509
are artists actually allowed to say they're open to requests? i've wanted to a few times but i thought it was frowned upon

4 color gameboy 32x32 portraits.
Personally I like the way the top left turned out but not a fan of the other three, probably will play around with them more another day.

>>16784486
Thanks a lot!

It was done for someones birthday (person on the right from viewers perspective).

I imagined them being lost in the woods without any food left, with the girl on the left bringing a hunted-down slime as birthday present and the birthday kid having trouble to outright deny the possible poisonous slime out of politness.

>>16776128
>>16776155
>>16776176
These are cute!
The partly strong and in other areas soft or even no AA looks a bit odd and the bow and boob area looks a little bit out of place.

>I don't know how to apply dithering correctly
You did a good job only "dithering" on places it looks good stylisticly. Pulling off good dithering with modern crisp displays is pretty hard.

I think the colors are fine, with what exactly do you have trouble in regards to palettes?

>>16783513
see
>>16784423

>>16792548
No one cares if artists take requests. It's jut begging for requests that is frowned upon.

I hate /a/ and people who want /jp/ to be like /a/ because they miss /a/ but won't go back, but I've taken artists up on offers to do requests. Basically, what I'm rudely saying, is don't turn this into a request-and-whine-for-delivery thread, but asking for requests has happened from time to time in the past an there's not been a problem with it to my memory. I just feel like nowadays, it'll encourage newer posters to make dumb requests and get angry when they don't get it or something.

So yeah, feel free to say you're taking requests if you want.

>>16792645
>hunted-down slime
That's not a green pig/orc heard with the snout facing right and a red tongue sticking out? I saw that incredibly wrong.

>>16792651
>>16792509
>>16792324
>>16792548

keep it simple

>Are requests permitted here?
no

>>16792645
When will you post the remaining WIPs?

>>16784423
Cute girls are not allowed :^)
Im using love2d

>>16792645
Personally, I like the top right most. It feels dynamic and he placement of mouth, nose and eyes is great. The bottom right is also very nicely done. Top top left kinda lacks character, while it's hard to make out just what emotion she has on the bottom left. Angry? Shocked? There is a really tiny pixel between below the hair that seems like a brow which makes it hard to really discern it.

>>16792759
T-those must be some sticky dangos.

holy shit... I had a load of tabs open and posted this in the wrong thread at first. anyway I just finished making this song last night:
https://a.pomf.cat/zmaiiy.mp3

>>16792645
>I think the colors are fine, with what exactly do you have trouble in regards to palettes?

Thanks for your interest Anon.

I picked a bunch of the colors from pic related, I didn't make the whole palette myself.
I used my own colors on the ribbon and you can see the lack of contrast between shades.
The brown outline of the ribbon also looks kinda lame.
I rushed the body so there are a lot of places that should have AA or better shading.
I don't use any guidelines or rules when applying AA so I end up applying it by guessing and trial and error.
My color ramps always have too much contrast between colors or they look dull.
Soo far I been reading this:
http://opengameart.org/content/les-forges-pixel-art-course
I would like to know what are the best tutorials for pixel art in general , AA and making palettes.
The more intuitive the explanation the better.

BTW I tried to find that pic on a lossless format but I can only find the jpg online

>>16794392
The composition is good. Mood in general is excellent. Panning is fine.

Then things what breaks it. The sound is overall treble heavy. It breaks basically everything in that fine composition. It's too sharp. You should round and soften the sound if it's possible. It makes your good composition a great experience.

>>16794392
What software do you use for this kinda thing? It's something I've always been interested in but the only software I've actually given it a go in was an old FLStudio from some years ago, and it was extremely unintuitive.

>>16795060
Thanks. Yeah I know what you mean, I'm probably going to go back later and try to adjust the instruments and add some EQ or something.

>>16795075
I used OpenMPT. You might find it more intuitive than FL Studio, or you might find it worse. I personally find it a lot easier to use than most music software.

>>16798992
Yeah, art is hard, dude.

Making a game is hard.

>>16807387
The hardest part is actually doing it and not getting bored on day 2.

When will we get a demo for that anon's loli game?

>>16808682
Also attempted to render

I stopped drawning when I started with Loomis. Can anyone explain?

>>16810040
I feel you, my dude. Tbh going through books when you want to draw is pretty lame so it's easy to lose interest if a book is absolutely boring and wastes your time with stories and whatnot instead of getting to the damn point..

Just look at the pictures or find something else or go and try copying stuff

What should I do when I hit a brick wall with a book? I've been going through fun with a pencil but I got to apage where I couldn't draw anything like the pictures in the book, I think it's because I wasn't drawing every day because of other stuff so I've gone back to the start and I'm going through at least a page every day. Am I doing the right thing here or should I try doing something else?

>>16810666
You could try practicing on your own, just draw whatever. Also try to apply what you picked up.
Try to go through a different book.
Starting over might make you feel like you're not progressing so instead review stuff.
Skipping ahead and coming back is also an option.
In the end you might have to just wait it out for a day or a few. Some things may or may not click during that down time

>>16811166
Thanks I'll start alternating between two books so I don't get burnt out. I think my biggest problem is that I get bored when I'm not drawing things I'm interested in but when I try to draw things on my own they look terrible and I want to stop drawing.

When do I move past drawing almost everything from references and feeling like a noob? I feel like drawing a couple times every few months when the mood takes me is a problem, but I can't get the drive together to sit down and grind every day when I don't meet my standards and don't have NEETtime anymore.
Whole thing feels like one of those "if I was good I'd do it more, so I don't do it enough to get good" situations that I always find myself in.

>>16810566 I do like this picture, but for some reason her face made me think of the Moomins.

>>16794392
That sounds really fun, composition-wise. Really nice jam going on, groovy. Mix-wise, I have to agree with >>16795060, too intense on the high frequencies, needs more mids and bass.

I found an old project of mine from 2013/14 and re-orchestrated it a bit. It's supposed to feel like an RPG-Village-theme, as the name suggests. https://soundcloud.com/sinsack_agi/old-rpg-village-like-idea

>>16811558
>move past drawing almost everything from references
You shouldn't ever do that if you want to draw well.

pew pew pew pew!

some collab stuff.

>>16792668
I like that idea, sounds more exciting than a common level 1 slime. I can't see it the way you described though.. I probably shouldn't have made that inner shadow part to make it look transluscent so dark.

>>16792759
when the time is ripe. Nice dango bully.

>>16793002
thanks! The top left is more like the "normal" face, similiar to a foto for a passport and since I'm lazy one face fitting more than one emotion has it's benefits. Maybe I'll make them seperates though, I kinda liked doing them but I doubt too many will find use.

>>16794959
I wanted to read through the tutorial you posted but kept procastinating (that's why I haven't replyed sooner) but now decided to just skip over it instead.

>color
value or luminance or however you want to call it is most important, it determines readability which is especially important if you do tiny, detailed pixel-arts.
Stronger contrast between light and dark creates stronger interest, try to reserve it for areas you want to get the viewer to look at but keep it somewhat logical (don't force it).
Look into other color contrast like warm/cold or complementary colors, they make an image overal interesting and can even give it additional context.
Too strong contrasting colors side by side stress your eyes and can create something like flickering, which you would want to avoid but too low contrasting colors are boring. You have to play around and try, just copy your image and try more or less contrasting colors and compare.
Colors are relative. A grey placed in a picture where everything has a green-ish hue will look red-ish. You can make use of that but it's something a little more advanced that I don't activily use myself yet. It helps to keep in mind though.
Hue shifting makes them look more interesting but don't go crazy or it'll just look weird.
High saturation looks more fresh and appealing but also marketing like and a bit fake sometimes.
Too hight saturation just burns your eyes.
Low saturation often looks more realistic if you know what you're doing but tends to be boring really easily.
Greyscale or Monochromatic and the ones that are almost like them have their own appeal.

With minimalistic palettes like in the example you posted you really see the importance of light/dark contrast, hue and saturation is of secondary importance.

That's all the relevant stuff about color I can think of on the spot, hope something of it is of help.

>AA
Try to avoid the need for it with good forms (no jaggies and good clusters), try to avoid making new bad forms when you do add AA (banding happens often, it means pixels align and create ugly breaks in the flow of shapes)
When I AA I think of a higher resolution line going through the pixels and decide what shade to AA with by how close the imagined high-res line comes to the center of the actual pixel.

general introduction

http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5692
a collection of small tutorial images, most are crap though but some are really good.

http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10695
they post about how other artist do their palettes.

http://pixelation.org/pixelation/index.php?topic=8110.0
not a turorial but Helms post are pretty good. Made me understand the concept of "banding" and "clusters". Pretty lengthy though but has a good idea for an exercise. Iirc it was pixeling from a ref at different resolutions with 2 colors and with 4 colors each.

Also keep in mind that everything that applies to art and design in general, also applies to pixel art. Just that it's a grid and you have better control over your brush and certain pitfalls become smaller but others become bigger.

hope it helps, I always like to see people making pixel art and trying to do a good job anon, ganbatte!

>>16808686
Cute loli dude.

>>16818720
> Frills must've taken forever

Not really, when you know the process it's pretty fast to draw them.

>>16813020
You shouldn't?

>>16819853
You definitely shouldn't hesitate to use references if needed.

>>16819969
Without references I draw like shit. Nah. Who am I kidding. Even with references it looks like a grade school work. Maybe I should stop give a fuck about how it looks and just draw but then I look at my favorite artists and I just say. "fuck it, I'm too bad for this stuff.".

>>16765214
What website was this again?

So for someone who only draws loafers, mary janes, and flats, and dislikes boots, high heels/pumps, and sandals, and doesn't want to draw sneakers because that's already the other option, what's a good or interesting type of shoe to draw?

>>16820746
clogs are an option

>>16820864
Clogs as in wooden shoes or clogs as in sandals/crocs? The latter isn't an option.

>>16820872
The former. And if you really want to get silly you can draw those weird stilts tengu wear.

>>16820876
>weird stilts tengu wear.
The one toothed geta or something different?

>>16820883
Yeah, those.

>>16820746
>dislikes boots

Truly the mark of a pleb

>>16811691
I had to look up Moomins. I think I made her nose too round that's why

>>16811793
>>16818720
Thanks dude

>>16820746
Draw transparent/glass shoes.

I always have a hard time deciding between drawing the nose or leaving it
I think the nose makes characters look a bit older

>>16829088
I think it looks odd without the nose. But that's just my hot take.

>>16829088
have you tried this

>>16829088
Lacking a nose altogether is too strange. Even just a dot is enough

i tried recently, /jp/.

>>16830596

>>16830596

also I'm very happy to see your still around

I drew this while buzzed on Gin and tonic.

I loaded a drawing to Live2d

>>16840128
Lendo's drawings are cute! CUTE!

So if I want some requests to draw, is it polite to do that? I can deliver some time tomorrow. I'm pretty bad, pic related.

>>16841674
no, go offer to the many draw threads on the other boards

I know this isn't the kind of thing that gets posted in these threads but the thread I made it for was deleted (>>/jp/thread/S16841014))

Not really OC, but I've been working on a doujinshi for a while now.
Though this is the farthest I've ever gotten with making one, I've reached the point where I begin to lose practically all motivation. Here's hoping I can push through it and actually finish something for once.

>>16843041
That looks really good anon, hope you can get out of that rut and finish it. I don't recognize those characters though, is it based on an existing property?

>>16843056
The girl is Nipa from Brave Witches, the guy is a faceless male.

I did more animation today, /jp/! Today, it's me talking to the anime gril from my last post!

>>16860903
No seriously anon, that shit is bad. Its your fucking problem after all, but I feel compelled to warn you after seeing friends irl literally fucking up their brains beyond the point of no return

I bought a whole bunch of electronic music equipment to fill the meaningless void in my life for the time being. I don't know by heart any Touhou arrangements, but seeing as I have no life, I can maybe mess around with some melodies and upload an mp3 or two if I don't kill myself before then. It's easy to get a Boards of Canada vibe going on, so I thought I would check in and see if I can make a Touhou arrangement of my own in that style. It's really the only task that I can control and succeed at, so it brings me happiness.

you guize should sersly do autograph panel Etsy shops like a bandcamp for visual artists so able to otacool the walls more

>>16858947
Kind of creepy but i like it. Next time try white paper or tanned instead of lined.

>>16863082
It warms my heart that you care about me this much anonymous but it falls on deaf ears because im a bad boy and like living on the edge

yes hi hello I am not any good
how do I become a person that doesn't do a chickenscratch sketch and then go back over it in another layer with cleaner lines like a dirty filthy cheater
I can't get the lines to go where I want unless I try a million times
I am not proud of much but I guess I'm ok with this one from last week or something

>>16863668
Creepy?

>>16864070
Your drawing's not bad, my dude.
Everyone sketches and then goes over the rough lines, don't worry.

You can try doing the motions for your lines with your pen just above the surface then bring it down when you think you'll get it where you want
Or do excercises to build line confidence. They usually drawing countless straight lines and such

>>16864028
Stop troubling your anonymous mother

>>16864070
That's fairly normal. Getting good lines the first time just takes practice, but nearly everyone sketches something underneath before they go to the final lines.

>>16864070
I mean that's what I do - pencil first, then pen over it with a firm hand, then erase the evidence of my shitty chickenscratching.

Of course sometimes I try doing doodles in hard pen without the pencil as a crutch and they always turn out looking like total dogshit, but nobody must know my secret.

>>16864238
>>16864320
I see, that's some comfort I guess
I've never really read books or taken classes on drawing or anything, or even really talked to other people who draw
I assumed I was doing some baby mode stuff

colors and hair shading are way at the top of the list of things I have no confidence in, but seem like they're kinda hard to just grind out. I'm not too big on the hard-edged blocky hair shading I do but I don't know where to start for something more layered looking.

Just messing around. Sorry, the recording is garbage but what do you really expect from vocaroo quality?

>>16860639
yeah both are male but one is a femboy or whatever

barring doing actual color shading on this what can I do to make this foreshortening work

>>16865019
Make her limbs rounder. They look too flat in this view. Sorry, can't redline at this time.

>>16865029
hate to eat up image limit but I rounded the arms a bit, lengthened her left bicep and shortened the sleeve since it was covering it up and throwing everything off
it's better
but it isn't perfect and I'll never be satisfied because I'm not even supposed to be drawing my wife. it just throws me into a whirlwind of autism and disappointment in myself

how do i draw cute loli?

>>16865173
first learn to draw regular loli

if you don't know how to do that yet learn to draw people

and if you don't know how to do that then start

>>16864628
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1VMlrCMZ3di
Slightly better recording.

>>16865173
In addition to this, make sure the face is low on the head. Putting features up high is one of the things that makes characters uncute, especially young ones.

>>16865370
>>16865298

thank you

>>16865136
That's actually better. Can't redline at the moment because I'm on a phone.
Here's a reference that might help you instead.

I'm pretty satisfied to have discovered the cloud brush. Maybe I'll do one with Xerneas and Kaguya.

>>16862828
Decent, though why did you not make it loop?

>>16864988
What's that in front of him?

I tried. I still need to learn a lot of basic shit

>>16763501
That is a good idea. Here is a boy.

>>16830596
That is extremely cute.

>>16866558
Looks Disney-esque for some reason.

>>16866064
I forgot to click the loop forever button in photoshop when exporting! (also i deleted all this work by accident afterwards and had to recreate it through the gif)

>>16860906
Yes!

hey /jp

it's good to be in an official numbered oc/drawthread again

>>16869941

Did you fucking know that i love you and your art?
And that your girls are very fucking cute i want to hug them? Did you fucking know that? Did you?

>>16869941
Please keep drawing forever. もっと, もっと強くになる...!!!!

Keep dreaming.

i wish i could too...

it feels like i'm losing the drive to draw recently

it takes me longer and longer to finish drawings

i guess this is what happens when you lose sight of your goals in life.

woah. that got heavy

here's another picture of a pretty animu girl!

yay!

WIP 9S here to hack your Roomba

>>16875041
Ganbare!

I drew my Touhou oc, She's a teru teru bōzu youkai. I haven't decided on a name yet but her personality changes if its rainy or sunny.

>>16876794
qt

Paint.NET or PS?
Why?

>>16876906
Paint tool Sai for drawing.

If you are just asking as a general image editing program it depends. Paint.NET is easier to use and is good for small stuff, it's basically a muscled up MSPaint.

Photoshop is much better and can do a lot of stuff but it can be overwhelming for a beginner.

>>16876794
Very cute.
I'm going to steal her hat dude.

>>16876794
Is that ahoge coming through her hat?

>>16876906
>>16877080
I've just been using GIMP forever. I tried SAI recently, the UI is all backwards feeling and I feel lost and the selection system is EXTREMELY weird, but I really like being able to rotate the canvas and the tool variety.
Don't know if I want to stick with it when I can get GIMP to just do what I want it to though.

>>16875756
Pimp my roomba

>>16875756
CaimS is a gud boy.

>>16877764
Doesn't GIMP lack pressure sensivity?
Also is there a way to make outlines with a tool but also don't make look them uniform but look like they were hand drawn outlines that change in thickness instead?

I tried making the outlines over a sketch via tools today but I don't like how the result looks like a flash cartoon.

>>16869941
Someone should compile all your drawings in a "Great catalogue of Ham's cuties"

>>16869546
I knew it! Thanks for still posting here friend!

Making

I haven't drawn in a long time, and I have a lot of practicing to do, but I really want to make a VN.

This is my rough sketch for one of the main characters. She's a unicorn.

>>16882040
where the fuck is her horn

It's starting to shape up!

>>16882049
In her pants, most likely

>>16882229
Sounds great actually.

>>16882013
W-what is it?

>>16882049
I'm not sure it really works. It's an odd element. Too busy on the head? Lose the ears? Change to hairstyle that's more centrally balanced, like a ponytail?

Drew this Flandre a while back, just want to post something out since the stuff I have been drawing latelt doesn't belong to /jp. Hope I will have time to draw more in the future. Enjoy.

>>16882959
Looks like Freeze-Ex.

>>16882959
What kinda stuff have you been drawing?

>>16876794
Can you turn on sprinklers on her to change her mood? Turn on lamp over her head during a rainy day?

>>16882959
Is there a larger version that you could share? Please

Her body has little depth and dimension.

Too tired to redline, someone pls

>>16883942
Oh my god, are you that artist I had to unfollow due to the constant dd/lg posts?

>>16884557
no expert, but hopefully this helps a little

>>16885686
That is amazing anon
Thank you so much
I should have invested a little more in her hands before posting, my bad! The hair thing is a really good point there, will work on that. Also, the angles of the eyes seem interesting to try. The bow style looks way cuter.
My mind just doesn't work simplifying things as 3D shapes, I just can't do it.
For some reason looking at references from other artists seems cheap to me, but I will follow your point.
Thanks again!

>>16876903
>>16877485
Thanks!


>>16877492
Yes it is.

>>16883485
Nah, It has to be real weather. But you can hang her upside down if you want to make it rain the next day just like a real teru teru bozu.

>>16770535
i drew a satorin

>>16887319
This is a no-nudes board but she looks like a boy there anyway...

>>16887350
>no-nudes
it's just a study bro!

Felt like redrawing an old oc.

Easter was a few days ago now, but I wrote a short little story for Easter with characters from my book, A Cup of Moondust. I've posted chapters from it here a few times in the past.

https://pastebin.com/ULFpRfxk

Here's a dumb doodle of the main heroine as well.

>>16887435
When will you draw a flat girl, sensei?

>>16887808
I've got a few I could/wants to do but I just kinda end up never drawing them.

>>16886576
So she's supposed to be hanged upside down but uses a skirt?

>>16886576
I thought that those bozus were for warding off rain.

an attempt at line art where I got bored halfway zz

>>16885928
npnp! glad it's of some use
Definitely 3d was hard to get into after drawing a lot of 2d, looking at something like the poseable 3d model in clip studio paint can help
With referencing artists, rather than directly copy, it's more like getting a sense of how they do an aspect (body proportion, colour, linework, etc) and trying to incorporate it in your own work
I guess my main advice is don't be afraid to reference! We all start off not knowing how something actually looks like. It helps to get multiple references (maybe of different angles) of the same thing and trying to understand what it looks like; with more practice it becomes easier to draw on your own!

>>16791126
>>16887435
as someone who (usually) does more paintery/sketchy stuff, I always admire how you manage rather detailed line art! What's your thought process when drawing repetitive stuff like the mushroom queen's frills?

>>16889866
I was way slower when it came to doing lineart before, so I guess there is mostly that, training until you get more confident about drawing it and finding a good speed, that also boosts your motivation. Doing a bigger part in a row is both faster and ends up giving a better natural look in the end for me. For frills I do quickly the main shape and then add the volume details, nothing particularly crazy. When you know how to do it it's not a very long part to make, just repeat. And if you're too bored by the repetitivity do something else between each 4 sections of the dress. I found the frills much more challenging honestly since I was more experimenting with their shapes.

>>16888382
If she's a real touhou she has bloomers. Besides real ones technically have "skirts" too.

>>16888529
They ward off rain when hanged upright but if you want it to rain you hang them upside down.

>>16889866
>>16887435
>>16885686
I want to ask for how long do you guys draw? I started drawning a few months ago and still looks bad so could you tell me how was your progress?

>>16887435
And done.

>>16892104
Around 2012. Don't expect much improvements in only a few months. Of course it also depends of how much you draw in those months.

>>16892654
>>16892104
Here is the same character from 2012 to 2017 to show a bit my progress.

>>16892790
Did you used to post in /jp/ before 2016?

>>16893054
Been posting on the jp drawthread since 2015-2016, yeah. Or maybe longer, don't really remember.

Practice of an OC for a VN I want to finish writing someday. Will probably finish the background at a later date

>Trying to imitate my favorite artists.
W-Who?

>>16892790
Wish I had the time/patience to render like this.

>>16883942
Just realize I actually did work on some touhou stuff. Been super busy attending con so I have been dragging this drawing for a while. Everything is still in WIP, progressing slowly. But hopefully I can finish this ASAP.
>>16885655
Oh no, sorry if that made you feel unpleasant. Pretty sure I am not posting those anymore.

I abandoned my chenfox 64 project almost a year ago, but I did finish a Railgun guitar cover. At least it's something new, I guess. Pardon the mess.
https://youtu.be/vnfheTJfm4A

>>16892790
What were you on between Mid 2014 and Early 2016? I've been drawing since 2007 and that jump is ridiculous me.

Tried making this with the intention to not put in any effort, but by third panel, I suddenly had the urge to get serious.
Because of that, I realized that I'm not improving so I already gave up by 4th panel.

>>16892654
Since I'm no longer NEET I try to draw at least 2 hours every day but I don't know if that's enough.

>>16897331
Began drawing digitally. My earlier stuffs of course still looked like shit, it wasn't a game changer right away, but it allowed me to focus much much more on details and anatomy compared to traditional. Then I mastered better the tools, got much better at doing linearts since early 2016 for example, they both look better and I do them much faster.
At the same time I began learning coloring more seriously and I just kinda ended up at that level by keeping trying to do detailed works again and again. Taking high tier artist as a goal is obligatory I'd say. Keep using them as reference to understand the amount of details they put in their works and try to do the same.

I made a fake Touhou theme to celebrate the announcement of Touhou 16 and to trick people:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqachX-14eg&t=0s

>>16898495
What is this and why does it have so much views?

>>16898539
It's an original composition by me that i uploaded on a collaborative channel with the intent to trick people.

>>16898562
That's neat. I remember hearing about this channel before as some sort of meme. Didn't realize it was more than one person.

>>16898562
April's Fools was 3 weeks ago.

>>16898562
Yeah. I see they're more Touhou songs there. Thank you for reminding me not to read Youtube comments again.

>>16872324
Is loomis even useful if i only want to draw qt animu grills?

I wasted 3 weeks drawing a short 27 page one-shot. The drawings are really rough pencil sketches. If anybody reads it can you give me opinions? It's here at:
http://qchrollofer.com/8utopia/utopia27/utopia27.html

>>16900536
Wasted 3 weeks for a ((SHORT)) 27 page? Dude, that's a lot.
Also, that's a little edgy but not bad. Not everything needs a hpy ending.

>>16899749
It's useful for porportions, which you need even if you use whatever anatomy you feel like.

You can skip it and draw pictures of real people for a while if you want though, until you get a sense of what people look like, and then copy manga artists who don't suck.

>>16890043
thanks for this, it's kind of comforting to hear about your improvement speed wise too

>>16892104
on/off since 2010
I think you'll need years before you really notice the improvement, just know that with practice it will be there!

>>16896161
phew really ambitious piece, I'm looking forwards to the finished work

>>16897290
sounds great! has a very epic feel

>>16897442
for me the transition from chibi to serious in the third panel was a bit jarring, but it's cute anon

>>16898495
Very solid job

>>16900536
It's interesting, I kept feeling like some twist was going to happen though
is this part of a bigger story?

>>16901379
This is going to be a bit lengthy if you want to read about the overall story and what could happen afterwords.There was a lot more depth that I removed from the final work. Nearly all the inner narration was removed because it was overlapping dialogues and action in panels. Teoh's name is described to mean strong and big in their language. Keela (comes from Ciara but with a k) means small and precious. These name's were the opposite of who they are. It's only hinted a bit but his cousin mocks and bullies him. Teoh has a crush on Keela's best friend because the best friend is the only blond in their village and he's nice to Keela because of this as well as being a pushover and timid (Beta, self-insert). Keela would like him obviously. She mentions this priceless family ring that's made aeons ago which would be a 'get out of jail' to use later.

There's more to the tomb, it wasn't some mystical magical superstition that they worshipped. If a sacrifice is not made, it's guaranteed that the people and land would fall in chaos. It releases chemicals/evil aura/magic? that poisons the surroundings so it's actually a certainty that disaster falls. It wasn't drawn very clearly but the skies darken and flowers start to wither and birds flock away once the tomb opens. A literal pathetic fallacy for the MC as well. If they do follow the sacrifice, then prosperity follows to all the people. The name of this chapter is called 'One for All'. The story is about, say, 300 people. I drew this because it felt wrong as human beings that sacrificing that humans would sacrifice a child. It just didn't feel right, it feels very wrong even though it saves people indirectly. With all it's intelligence, humans are drawn as lowly morally weak creature which is what they would follow through in reality if this situation existed.

I didn't clarify clearly what the letter Teoh picks up is. It's a confession note from Keela. The letter would say that she has a secret crush on him and that she knows that he likes her best friend. In the panel, down on the table in scribbles is the ring, the precious heirloom of Keela's family. She sneaked it out for to give Teoh for the afterlife since they believed in that. The ring is passed as a sacred wedding gift so what Keela really means is that it's her confession gift that demonstrates her love to him. Teoh accepts it and uses the string from his broken medallion to wear the ring around his neck.. This would hide it from Keela's parents and the ring wouldn't have fitted his child fingers. That's what he was holding at the very end to Keela and she smiles because she sees that he accepted her confession.

What I'm thinking afterwards is that maybe a fairy pops out from a deep sleep from the jewel of the ring and helps him escape. Outside the village crumbles. The temple druid loses control and goes berserk, rampaging and killing everybody because he's just a minion controlled by the tomb to do it's bidding. The tomb was just farming humans as food. It might have seem long for 5yrs a sacrifice but the demon organism in the tomb is a higher being and 5yrs is perhaps nothing but 5 secs to it. The tomb is something like eternal hell. Past tributes are still suffering in it.

Then it's about little Guts and bootleg puck going on an adventure in a surrealist fantasy land (Sci-fi if I could spin it that way). I'm sort of adamant on having this bootleg Puck with him. It would create dialogue, otherwise it be mostly pictures which is an artist's worst nightmare. Also he sees his lonely mother corspe and 3 other people's dead corpses he cares about when he escapes. Then he sets of the adventures of little guts. I'll have the druid hunting for him and so Teoh brings calamity to wherever he goes. Also no fight scenes happen because it's not a battle shonen.

What does /jp/ think?
This program I'm working on displays a cute girl on the bottom right of your screen with album art from the current song you are listening to.
Currently it only works with foobar2000, but I'm hoping for it to work with youtube,itunes,etc. too bad there aren't very many pictures of cute girls holding album art, so I have to stick with this one right now.

>>16905383
Will you make it work with rainmeter?

>>16905383
You could try this one.

>>16905383
>>16905404
Also use that picture of satori like https://i.warosu.org/data/jp/img/0116/27/1384661564806.jpg

I don't know where the original is though.

>>16905404
Probably not, it's just a stand alone .jar, if there's any benefit I'll look into it.
>>16905411
that's not a cute girl!
>>16905413
if you make that image transparent around her and where the album art is, I'll show you what it would look like.

Don't ask me why I drew this, because not even I know

>>16898073
Keep going.

>>16905878
Good job.

>>16905878
Sanae has such a shit eating grin.
Reimu looks like such an air head, she's cute.

>>16904866
Mmm it's definitely a much richer background than I thought and I can appreciate it better after reading this, it's a shame not everything could be fitted in.
When reading the one-shot I knew the ring and letter held significance but not in that way.

been messing a lot with microns lately

wip

https://clyp.it/bxyesj2m

working on a track. the style is a bit weird, but if anyone here has advice on it id love to hear it.

I'm trying to use PS but I just can't find a brush I like

>>16908060
Even the default brush is plenty enough (I use the blurred one), don't go thinking that brushes are some game changer.

>>16908126
I'd like to have something that's tablet sensitive and the default isn't, but the stuff that's sensitive is either too big even at minimum size or doesn't have an opaque look like the default one, and changing settings doesn't seem to help.

>>16908149
But the default ARE tablet sensitive? You didn't set up the brush size and opcaity variation buttons at the top?

>>16908167
Oh thanks

>>16908182
Go in Window > brush also, you can tweak yourself the brush if you wants, though as I said I think the default one is already plenty enough.

>>16905878
The book of what?

>>16907636
I dunno what to make of this kind of music desu. It's just sounds like noise to me.
Am I missing something?

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0M9D3su9Tz4
doll judgement

>>16907636
Very interesting, I'm sensing influence from AFX Twin or Venetian Snares. I guess I'd say just refine the sounds a bit? Maybe experiment with some synths. Not sure what you're using now but things like sytrus that use lots of in depth FM synthesis can get some pretty crazy sounds.

>>16907636
Hmmm composition is too random for me, but I dig some of the samples.
>>16907053
I like it, though her nose looks a bit crooked through the lines at first, but once you get a proper look, that it shouldn't pose an issue.
>>16901379
Pretty cute! A few issues with the faces perspectiveand symmetry I'd say, but really nice otherwise.
>>16892790
Remarkable progress, almost unreal. Remove earrings and the design is fixed again lel, personal preferences aside, really good art.
>>16909468
Sweet pose and perspective. I can't help but feel a tiny bit weirded out by how her upper torso/chest sticks out though. Otherwise, cute as fuck - and nice butt.

nice! Feels like an arcsys game

>>16906504
I like to hear what you were thinking of. It's interesting to see what the reader read into it, especially when things were left ambiguous. Everybody sees their own thing that hearing others' thoughts is fascinating. Like how, 'I never even thought about it that way', type of thing to somebody else viewing. I think it was best that things weren't that clear because it falls short and is less open to interpretation which is the fun of reading.

Thanks and >>16900635 for reading my story to the end. Knowing that at least 2 people have read a story I wrote fills a bit of the empty void I get from drawing around meaninglessly.

I think I'm now able to pixel cute sprites in isometric perspective.

>>16911131
Cute. Also is that girl on the left using eggs as bait?

>>16911173
Thanks! I thought that she's fishing for eggs but I like the bait interpretation.

>>16911185
What bait does one use to catch eggs?

>>16911294
chocolate pieces.

>>16909731
>Hmmm composition is too random for me, but I dig some of the samples.
yeah heh my composition style is totally random. the only sample used is actuallly just a drum and bass drum break, ive recently been experimenting with chopping up samples on such a small time scale that they sound like a synth or something.

your track isnt the type of music i listen to really but it sounds really well done. i really like your other track, Old RPG Village-like idea. great atmosphere.


>>16909468
>I dunno what to make of this kind of music desu. It's just sounds like noise to me.
>Am I missing something?
my main inspiration is stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tgUopOI4ck its not random at all but it is spontaneous, if that makes sense. i want to make really weird sounding stuff that invokes emotions that normal sounding music doesnt really touch upon much.

>>16909724
yeah afx, snares, and autechre are definitely my biggest 3 influences. currently ive been doing the technique ive mentioned above and then also just using serum for synths. i should try fm8 again, i went through a period 6 months ago where i used nothing but fm8. i like the melodies on your track a lot, i see a lot of potential in it. i think the hihat pattern and sound design could use a bit of work, it doesnt seem like its very well integrated into the track and its mixed really low so that its hard to hear. but i love that bassy synth thing, and the jarring screetch sound. have you listened to much footwork music? like DJ Rashad or DJ Taye? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzEK5Z9ALU8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a2uXzJZnzE your stuff sounds like you could take it in that direction and it would be absolutely amazing.

>>16911559
>i want to make really weird sounding stuff that invokes emotions that normal sounding music doesnt really touch upon

Is that emotion "annoyance"?
I agree with >>16909724 in that it sounds like Aphex Twin... except cruddy.

As for the video you linked, it sounds like that stuff where people record water making waves on a lake or cosmic rays or some shit like that. I'd say get more inspiration from Aphex Twin and the like and then move away into what you want to do.
Additionally, all your samples(?) are way too short and contributes to it sounding chaotic, since it never sticks on any sound for more than a couple seconds, so it just sounds like noise. The video you link isn't like that.

>>16897290
You have shit taste in anime but your guitar is pretty sick

>>16913016
Gloomy, I like it.
Doesn't her left leg kinda not connect with the body tho?

Working on a storyboard mini story of the mad scientist family OCs I posted last thread.

>>16915974
Which other way would it be?

>>16915968
Kinda shitty

>>16911559
I've listened through some of your other stuff as well, I really dig "sesquitera". And thanks also, the RPG-Village-thing is rather old already, composed ot well over four years ago I think.
