FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?
>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email [email protected].
What do we draw?
>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.
What's a low effort warning?
>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.
>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.
What happens if I'm eliminated?
>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.
How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?
>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.
Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?
>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

how much does it cost to have a website?
I'm starting to get good enough where people are asking me if I have my own website with portfolio but I have no idea where to start
>>2568429
can be free if you go cheap and go wordpress or something, and buying your own domain name can be dirt cheap depending on the TLD, like less than $10/year per domain name

I made a wordpress site for my grandma to see my artwork. Now I'm finding out she doesn't understand hyperlinks, so it was all for nought
Happy father's day LAS.
banana, love your antelope, thanks for the giggle
>>2568429
bruh, artstation
Larva why can't I create a challenge ;n;
>>2568536
might be too new, or you already did and you're on a cooldown.
>>2568516
Thanks, I guess?
Man, I never realized how bad my understanding of anatomical construction really was because I don't really draw living things from imagination (not counting plants).
So I figured when life gives you shit, make lemonade, and made a joke out of how bad it looked. I'm glad it was somewhat amusing.
>>2568537
C-cooldown? Am I not cool enough?
>>2568516
banana's work is hilarious, and his shortcomings only enhance the fun, I missed you Banana
>Post my work in the most obscure corner of a shitty art site

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere for a long time. Gotta work on those shortcomings, after all.
>>2568563
I'm using the wordpress free site. the only thing I think that changes with payments is you don't have .wordpress at the end of your web address. Pretty much never pay for webhosting unless you actually have a massive reputation and tons of clients.
>>2568552
I'm getting normie followers and I have no idea where they're coming from. I don't even tag my shit.
I tried registering but then after I clicked signup and clicked something past the login gate it kicked me out. Now when I try and log back in it doesn't work and says the username is taken.

So how many people do you think will fail the animation challenge? I think it's one of those challenges that you can't do on the last day so we might see a higher rate of failure.
how's that mecha doing?
>>2568794
cheers
>>2568796
the fuck you laughin' at?
punk ass nigga, step off before we got a problem here
>>2568798
Me probably. I've only done about half of the exercises and I'm stuck doing family things for Father's Day.
>>2568798
Another challenge failure here. Should've learned to manage my time better.
Someone go to my family events so I can draw all day.
COMIC CHALLENGE

>>2568877
damn I hate when my animations fuck
>>2568874
you did great anon you drew a ball bouncing
>>2568881
lava's a boy >:(
>>2568882
but that means new tiny animations!
>>2568874
your shadow should be moving in a straight line, it curves for some reason, might just be the highest frame that's out of place
nice ball though
>>2568890
Yeah I fucked that up :( I justified it in my head because it could theorically happen if the light source moved in time with the ball but cmon. I suck at animations ;_;
who /halfassed/ most of their animations here? I shoulda timed myself better, oh well.
>>2568895
Halfassin them rite now
TWO HOURS PLENTY OF TIME
>>2568901
oh boy
Getting fucked up the ass by an antelope would have been more pleasant than trying to draw one

You sure, jmgn?
hello?
>>2568912
i agree
>>2568931
is it me you're looking for?
>>2568933
no, it was another anon, sorry
I just realized I can't draw without reference
>>2568942
same, and I know why
Is an antellope supposed to look like a dog with horns?
I legit drew for 27 hours straight - last week, world record is like 3 days?
Don't recommend this unless you like having a sore wrist for a week afterwards
>drawing from reference
>being this bad
IT'S JUST A SKETCH GOYYS!!
>>2568964
too bad you suck
jk
>tfw regressing
>>2568965

to be fair I was I did like 5 50mg vyvanses and took caffeine tabs
pic related, pencil/pen/watercolors and stuff, not yet fully surviving off my work but I do have a few paid projects I'm working on.

uhhh D:D:::D:
ok is any drawing actually happening in this thread or just shitposting ?
>>2569069
the site is where the drawing occurs, these threads are for circlejerkers to shitpost
>>2569069
It's just shitposting.
>>2569069
Drawing?
>>2569069
there's always the meme streams
they're no better than the shitposting here, though

If I make a challenge, must I also join it?

a miserable little pile of secrets, apparently
what the fuck choob
>>2569111
>were
who here not part of any group challenge? i wanted to join the mech challenge but i suck and usually people who tell you to join are already decent and young with talents plus skill that pisses me off. but IF you were a little better what challenge would you join?
>what is an antelope
>is it like a deer
>that thing from the Lion King
I'm honestly shocked that you guys aren't more familiar with antelopes. I thought they were generally well-known animals. Is it because I played a lot of Zoo Tycoon as a kid?
>>2569124
join you fuck. I'm probably the worst one in any given challenge and even I've done them. Fucking fibinochi has the balls to join them even if he doesn't usually finish them. Just do eet
>>2569124
There are plenty of less skilled people doing the challenges.
>>2569127
nah its just choobs fun house in there.
>>2569129
Since when was Choob the leader of the people who frequently join challenges?
>>2569124
there will always be someone younger and better. dont let that keep an oldfag down
Jesus that was close. Some of my gif timings got fucked, but I don't give a shit at this point.
>yet another day with no dead week 1ers
DDDD:
>>2569139
>>2569124
join dumbass, I'm a WEEKWUNlmao and I still join challenges cause they're fun and help you improve, this is not a competition, there will be people worse than you and people better than you
>we will never cross a person off the battle royale class photo
>>2569141
to add to this I started drawing on tablet for the first time about a week ago
oh shit andrae came back
>rylaifu
NGGGHHH FUCK MY DIIICCKKKKKKKKK
>>2569127
this actually brings up a good point fibinichi is clearly being a troll since he wont actually do shit for the challenges, LAVA will their be some sort of punishment for this kind of behavior?
>>2569146
enough of your dick meme
>>2569148
a badge calling him a "fuck up"
>>2569150
heheheeh i like this.
>>2569148
I kind of like the challenges being super casual and honor system based. But maybe we can do something like the tribunal for this, and as punishment you'd be banned from joining new challenges for a week or so.
>>2569150
fuck you ;)
We are officially at the 6 months mark.
some LAS-ers are actually really improving,
that makes me mad
>>2569156
Damn, good job guys.
>>2569156
I feel like I've only made a mild improvement, but I have only myself to blame for being a slacker.
>>2569152
>do nothing
>punishment is "do nothing"
>>2569157
list when?
>>2569156
Fuck. It's that "feels like it was yesterday" feel again.
>>2569156
>>2569157
why?
>>2569161
STOP
>tfw some faggot will interpret "STOP" as "GO"
>>2569157
I'm glad, but also mad :^(
feels like I'm regressing, while others are making gains...
http://www.strawpoll.me/10531085
>>2569160
lel
>>2569160
It's supposed to not really be a punishment, since the challenges are separate from LAS anyways. It would just stop them from joining if they weren't going to submit anyways to cut down on faggotry.
>>2569168
I feel you. My practice never seems to stick so I don't know if I'll ever git gud.
Well done, animation folk! Really neat stuff from all of you.
>>2569156
I... Shit, I don't know what to say.
>>2569174
OH GOD
MY
DIIICKKKKKKKK
>>2569177
sasori, stop.
>>2569169
It'll probably never actually die, but I'm betting there'll be a time after a lot of new people have joined and the system has changed enough that people will lament some arbitrary time in the past where, for them, it "died".
>>2569181
I look forward to that moment so I can boast that I'm a weekwunner daywunner memer
>>2569156
Correction: It's now 6 months into the year, but LAS didn't start on Jan 1st. 6 months is around day 181, we're only on day 164 now.
I missed the antelope challenge :(
goodnight lasers happy drawing
>>2569209
Santi you coulda at least tried with the animation challenge you pleb.
LAS is not only still around, but it's still growing and thriving. Good job, Lava.
>>2569229
ahh... so this is the "antelope" the legends spoke of
>>2569229
>>2569229
I think antelope was a weird one, since there are so many very different species. There are different species of armadillo too, but not as many, and at least there's one very common and well-known one that's commonly referred to as just the "armadillo" (the nine-banded armadillo). But "antelope" is a huge and diverse group of ungulates and there's not really one specific species that comes to people's minds when they hear it. This is a Thomson's gazelle by the way. That would probably fuck people up, if Lava told us to draw a Thomson's gazelle.
>>2569236
I wonder what the next animal will be, this is fun
>>2569152
Or you could accumulate flake points for flaky.
Every three flake points, you become a flaky Pillsbury biscuit, and can't join challenges for a week. This doubles for every three flake points (two weeks, month, two months, four months, eight, then permaban).
>>2569238
hahaha
No new Tribunal cases
BURN THEM AT THE STAKE
>>2569229
I drew a pronghorn because we always called them antelopes around here. I didn't know they weren't.
>>2569156
any flawless left? i haven't been in these threads in a while.
>>2569255
I think there are still ~14 left.
>>2569245
I'll burn you're mom at the stake

>>2569211
Busy sorting 23000 files, so I barely have a couple hours to draw.
>>2569260
what are these files you're sorting through?
>>2569259
if you like corpse pussy go for it.
>>2569263
Images of everything, from animals to buildings to weapons. It's a folder with my entire visual library. I made a mistake of downloading 4 gbs of WWI, WWII and Vietnam pics and I'm currently sorting those before I move on to the absolute hell of a folder where I keep ~19000 images without any relation, order or filenames.
>tfw the thing you were working on just happens to correspond with the topic
>>2569271
Ask yourself this, will you actually use these images?
But if you find a particularly good reference, you should post it.
>>2569275
No I won't. I have severe Diogenes syndrome. But I must do it or I'll feel anxious. I don't know what I will use it for but I just want to organize everything
>>2569272
>tfw you posted something that corresponds with the new topic in an older topic
fuck
>>2569275
It also contains a ton of books and tutorials so I guess I'll use those at least
>>2569260
That's even an excuse, those sack "animations" are an abomination.
>>2569283
I had zero motivation to do those last three ._. sorry

>>2569322

>>2569278
You need to get that syndrome sorted out or else your artistic endeavors won't work out. Part of being an artist is to make decisions about references and pair it down to a few core inspiration. How can you do that and actually produce art on time?
>>2569278
Jesus santi. Hope this works out for you.
now that the results are in, what did you guys think of the animation challenge? Whose stuff did you like? Dislike? Crits? For those of you who did the challenge, was it as hard as you thought it would be? Was it easier than expected? Share pls.

I did most of the exercises in a very straightforward manner because of trying to cram them in this afternoon. The brick falling was by far the hardest for me because it was the one I attempted a more interesting angle on. Rotating a box in 3D and keeping the same relative proportions in perspective is fairly hard.
>mythical
>first post is futa fucking dragons
its like poetry
>>2569362
>bush baby
>Binturong
>bilby
>>2569363
The thing that fucked me up with that was keeping the perspective consistent as it rotated. Since it wouldn't neatly line up with the vanishing points as it tilted. I need to study more than just the very basics of perspective.
>>2569362
I'm down for botflies. lotsa fun to be had with that one.
who here has that hole phobia again? :^D
>>2569358
It was hard for sure but I had alot of fun. I liked steaks animations. They were nice.

I just intended for them to be quick sketches, nothing detailed. But this is also my comfort zone so I may have underestimated the time it would take.

Sounds like you have vitamin deficiencies? I know that I stayed indoors long enough that I was vitamin d deficient and needed nourishment from the sun.
>>2569446
This tbqhfam. I don't mind most of the time since this is mostly art related but 95% of people on here are Normans.
>>2569463
I used to have some trouble with my heart, but consuming more potassium fixed it. Slump, if you have an unhealthy diet try consuming a diverse array of fruits and vegetables.
