I think he's talking about these threads in general, but I don't see the problem with them
Hey, was wondering if i could get some feedback on a story I'm writing, I know it's not visual art but it's still art... Will post the first chapter after this too. Haven't got a name yet..
On the biggest planet in the Terraform system there is the biggest country, and in that country on the smallest island there is a city which holds over a thousand bars. And on the busiest street in the Kucho district of busy bars there is only one solid oak door fixed with brass working and melted signet rings as a door handle, this door stands 7ft tall and most lifeforms being carbon based or meta can access its' fixture with the right codex. But what this door leads to know many don't know or understand as within its' layers and walls there is the worlds longest bar. And with the worlds longest bar comes one of the systems biggest pay checks, an offer not many will turn down.
go to /lit/, look for their "Critique Thread," and post it in there
Chapter 1:
packing for the 6th time in 7 years Fox carried light. Before it was mostly about saving various pieces of furniture or beloved clothes but these days it was about the smaller things, toothpaste was something of a commidity and hard to find on many of the planets in the Terraform so having at least two tubes meant bartering... And fresh breath. The bar scene had dried up on Bahleed, a once proud epitome of the largest and strangest cocktails there wasn't even a hole in the wall left to serve a basic round of flare shots, besides only an idiot would order a flare shot. Bartending was a form of escaping, it was a way of paying the bills but not being tied down. You can be a bartender anywhere but you always seem to end up taking jobs with the deadbeats and losers of the planet which is what happened on Bahleed.
Taking a final look around the once bright and shiny room Fox saw nothing left in this place, it was no where the home it used to be. It became a prison. A loud series of knocks and frantic shouts begin to fill the hostile emptiness "Your shifts' in 5 minutes Fox! Get your fucking ass out here and ready to service some stock." This was the last time Fox was ever going to let someone pollute his ears with such blatent shit "Sure thing man, let me just find something to wear other than this obvious excuse for a smile and I'll be there now." Even pretending to care was a chore for him now, it was going to take two minutes to jump out the window (if it still opened) excavate down the fire shaft, land on either just cardboard or cardboard mixed with hunatas bottles, the only problem with hunatas being that it's great to drink with a pint but if it touches anything other than the inside of a body you become very intoxicated for a short amount of time.

Sorry I'll pop it over there now...
How do I draw like this /ic/? More loomis or what?
why would you?
High res and good line control is what you're probably aiming for.
I'm a beginner and who really wants to be good at drawing comic book style art. My favourites are the old horror/sci-fi pieces from 1950s onwards. This is something I've done, and its quite shit compared to the professional work I've seen but I think it displays possibilities of myself improving. After all, this is a fairly easy style to become adept in I think.
Can anyone provide any good sources for guides, books, tutorials etc? Also feedback is cool
This is the kind of thing I try to copy
I don't know much about the storytelling aspect but I do draw allot with inkpens. Use 3. One that is dull and very light, a pure black fine point pen, and like a fat marker that you can use to cover large dark areas with quickly and smoothly. will post some of my work.

Hello, /ic/.
Are there any rules for creating and transporting an atmosphere to the viewer? I dont know how to describe it any further.
Pic kinda related.
All sorts, none 100% firm.
Perspective can be a big one, looking down at something gives a different feeling than it towering over you. Obviously lighting is important, consider the difference between something done in a shadowy noir style to something well lit, and if you've ever seen those art/photography guides on how to light a face you'll notice some make people look very sinister while some don't. Your palette will also imply a certain atmosphere, whether it's subdued and desaturated or vibrant, what colors you choose, etc.
What I say is go through movies you like. Any movie with good cinematography has taken conveying the movie / scene's tone or atmosphere into account in regards to composition, color, etc. Study films (and other art) with a similar mood as what you're going for.

I tried making a digital art Bob Ross styled "painting" and I have no clue how to do the middle ground and foreground, any help would be appreciated. I'm using SAI if it matters.
You make those mountains bigger, then you throw some happy little trees there and a happy little lake and a happy little grass.
And then you add some huge trees right in the middle of the painting that totally fit the composition

Lol, thanks.
Use a reference.
What if I told you I can paint in 3d? Effectively combining visual art and sculpture using a series of painted lenses?
Transparent washes on a stack of glass plates.
This shit aint new yo.
>>2319470
congratulations you are doing what every professional on the concept art field/photographers already do
is called compositing
is called photobashing
is called it doesn't matter just do something appealing
I once had all of my work posted all over russian websites, with the websites watermark and editions (color and text over).
I'm thinking of publishing my work publicly again, but I'm afraid the same thing happens again. Any tips on how to deal with this type of situation?
Thanks in advance!
>>2319310
What does it matter? None of the top pros care. They post their work online and that's that. Many even post hi-res images. No watermarks or anything because it's tacky and ugly.
Only care if someone makes money off it, then take legal action. Otherwise don't sweat it.
If its fan art then you had it coming. Og work you keep that shit between yourself and whatever business you're pitching too.
What do you think this W.H. Auden poem is about?
HUNTING SEASON
"A shot from crag to crag,
The tell-tale echoes trundle;
Some feathered he-or-she
Is now a lifeless bundle
And, proud into a kitchen, some
Example of our tribe will come.
Down in the startled valley
Two lovers break apart:
He hears the roaring oven
Of a witch's heart:
Behind his murmers of her name
She sees a marksman taking aim.
Reminded of the hour
And that his chair is hard,
A deathless verse half done,
One interrupted bard
Postpones his dying with a dish
Of several suffocated fish."
This place seems to be all about the more realistic stuff, but I wanna see what you cartoonists are capable of!
Pic related, one of my characters. Your turn!

>Motivation/Inspiration
What truly inspires or motivates you to draw and to keep continuing in your craft?
So far for me it's been a long long struggle with an inch that I so badly want to scratch, but it's hard to reach. I've drawn for a good couple years, being about 8 when I fully invested all time into it, and for a good decade it was just a constant mainline for me. Everyday, every waking minute, just drawing/doodling/sketch/whatever it be, just to get the idea out.
Yet now, being 21, I have had a long hiatus that really makes me wanna come back into it, with all these new things to draw and design and begin a career or at least even a big profession at...yet it is like kick-starting a dead car. It starts, then sputters till it dies.
What do you think can work for me to help me get back into liking art and continuing it to the fullest?
You sound p-gay desu senpai. just draw lmao.
>>2318286
I want to draw because i'm a creative person without the means to share it
Also i'm pretty sick of waking up at 5am to go to work just to survive
I look back at the woman who gives me a heart attack
I see her brown hair flowing freely behind her back
I sink into a pit of black i need a cigarette
Many women could be her but she doesn't know that
And for some reason the only woman I want
Has the intelligence and maturity I can't have
I'm feeling very uneasy and stress is coming
I'm never enough for anybody I find myself loving
But this is still a very unfortunate happening
Because I miss her so much I long for her with everything
Without ever feelin her touch but I know it's extremely warm
Somehow I feel like she is with me
I envision her body and her being
It envelops my soul, her brown eyes staring deep into my psyche
She says the cutest thing but her cuteness is a knife
It slices into me and slowly I fade away
Inside I slip away into an abyss every day
I'm caught in a regular state
Of looking back...
nigga fuck this tiny ass image i want my goddamn click back
>>2318305
I want two clicks back, the single reason I open this thread from the catalog was to see the image
>>2318311
Just use image search. If the address doesn't work then just drag the image itself in as it changes the search criteria to ignore the sites preferences.
nm, let me share my finding.
