Hey guys i need your help here. I need to make some unit cards for a mod (modding a total war game) the thing is that they must look kind of medieval (doesn't need to be perfect but it must look the part) do you have any advice/tutorial/ideas or anything to improve this? Thank you for your time
btw: in game the card would look a lot smaller
Edit: Actual in-game size
I cant think of a tutorial, but I will say that looks quite nice as something medieval inspired, though I feel like the white texture overtop is slightly excessive.
I'll post a couple of the medieval-style stuff I've saved though.
What does /ic/ think of mobble and young tumblr artists in general? Personally I think her art used to be super diverse but now its fallen flat and very typical "Calarts" like. She still has something good once in while but it's changed a lot, the current art is so bland. Other young tumblr artists jump on the Calarts style bandwagon also, it's pissing me off.
I don't give a fuck, I mind my own business.

Her art can be derivative at times but in general she is a pretty good artist with some interesting color choices

What are some good books or videos on how to draw in Orthodox iconography style? Eastern or Oriental (pictured).
Bump
I guess just symbol draw really much and paint flat pictures.
okay so while I dont really have any resources, I spent some time drawing Icons with some guy who is icon-artist from Ukraine, so I could tell you what I've learnt. Icons are repetitive, you just draw the same concepts all over the time. You can decide about few things like colour of background, but, some must stay the same (Jesus robes must be blue and red on a specific drawing and there's no way you could do it otherwise. it must be that way). So they are very schematic. If you want to do competely new icon you must have enormous knowledge about it. Also, what I...

If I actually pursue my dreams and try to succeed in the world as an artist, whats the likelihood ill turn into a bitter ass like a third of this board?
Let me punch it into my bitter ass likelihood calculator, you cunt.

Alrighty, I'll be here.

people on this board don't succeed BECAUSE they're bitter asses, not the other way around. Protip: dont become a bitter ass
Made this shit for a art trade with a FB friend. Idk anything about "Undertale" or something, can you guys tell me if this is acceptable or not?
I don't know much about Undertale either, however I can tell you that this artwork is by no means acceptable whatsoever. Jesus fuck it's awful. Hiding the thread now so I'll never have to look at this ever again.
I think I'd swallow a pigeon whole to be as decent as that, so I must suck dick.
It's pretty bad and bad in a way that /ic/ loves to shit on, so expect that.
I forget the name of the filter you threw on it but it literally hurts my eyes and it's a bad crutch for making things look three dimensional. If you're going to use it, use it sparingly. When it's enough that it makes your image physically hard to look at, you need to cut it out.
The head looks pretty big even by anime standards.
If your friend is a weeb/undertale fan/normie I'm sure he/she will love it, though.

-Learn how to resize your shit for web
-Flip image
-Never do crossed eyes.
-Learning anatomy helps
-scratchy lines are ugly unless you're going to cover them up with ink or clean them up don't post em
-be confident with the lines you put down

Its cartoony style, do whatever you want, your drawing is good

D/ic/KS with carpal tunnel and other art hindering issues, how do you work around it?
I have carpal tunnel myself and have to stop drawing every five to ten minutes and shake my hand out for a few minutes before starting again.
Does anyone else suffer this? If so how do you deal with it?
>>2318930
I've got a mild form of Ehler-Danlos syndrome. It's basically like having carpal tunnel at random intervals and in multiple joints, at least in my case. I just stop when my body tells me to stop. Sometimes I can go for hours, sometimes I can't even start. The one time I ignored the pain I ended up having to rest for a week to go back to "normal". I was really scared I had fucked up my hands completely.
Also relaxation exercises help, whereas more stretching-oriented stuff like yoga or other...

In addition to drawing I stock shelves in a supermarket 6 nights a week. My hands hurt a lot,but I have been staving off the worst with aspirin an hour before work and Advil when it's particularly intense. That and I enacts when I get home.
Also,if you can afford it,try seeing a chiropractor regularly. One massaged my wrists for 10 minutes and I had gripping strength again. But since it's a chronic conditions you will get from the same physical activity all you can really do is maintenance for it,not cure yourself.
I'm a tattoo artist and hand cramps are especially annoying for me. I have to squeeze my grip so hard to hold the machine steady that I end up having to shake my hands every few minutes for the duration, makes me look silly and makes the customer wonder whats going on, all around bad shit. I started doing hand exercises and got one of those gyro ball things, over the past month ive seen some good improvement, so maybe try that.
Also here lately I get this rather painful burning sensation in the tips of all of my fingers, both hands, it comes and lasts for a few minutes,...

So guys, how do you advertise your art to gain more fans/clients? Where do you post, do you tag, add to groups, try to interact with people? Or just post your art and leave it all here? The more websites do you flood with your art the better or do you just stick with one site? Do you have your own website? And so on?
>>2318564
I have my own website, but it's just a place to host my portfolio. Most jobs I've had were from responding to postings or through contacts. Unless you are famous on social media you probably won't get a ton of clients approaching you.
My way is far from optimal, but I have a tumblr and a half abandoned deviantart.
In the time it took me to reach 35 watchers on deviantart I had 175 on tumblr, and I didn't need to jump through all the hoops of submitting to groups and shit, so I'd say tumblr is easily the more effective medium of the two. Apparently instagram is pretty good but I can't be assed to put my stuff on my phone just to upload it and I didn't see any decent alternative ways.
Usually I use tags like "art" "digital art" 'artists on tumblr'...

Is it really? I have a sizeable follower count on tumblr because of fanart but I don't even reach a fraction with Instagram. Do I need to whore out each picture with 10 tags or something?
Hey /ic/.
I want to get serious about drawing but my dominant hand is kinda fucked up: low strength in muscle extension and involuntary finger twitches that last for a minute or so once in a while. I can draw just fine but I'm afraid it would be a serious issue when drawing in the future if I plan to get serious.
Should I start drawing with my left hand? How hard would it be to transition? Would it even be possible to be as skillful?
If you do digital and paint rather than do precise lineart you can probably pretty much negate the disadvantage. You can generally be pretty imprecise and just keep slapping layer over layer as you refine, and if you work on a large canvas you can just zoom in really far for precision stuff so even if your hand shakes it won't be a problem.
>>2318522
It can't hurt to start practicing with your left. Just be aware that your left has had a lifetime less of use than your right. When Algenpfleger got wrist issues and switched to his left he did the same volume of drawing and fucked up his left immediately. You'll need to ease into it.
Anyways, it's been done before. Frazetta suffered a stroke and couldn't use his right hand anymore and switched to his left and there was no difference really in his art after that.
I also think that...

Do you guys have any recommendations when it comes to learning how to place an angle?
I've been trying to do scenery, etc, and I've learned perspective. I've taken architecture classes, and have read architecture books for 'the artist', but I'm really having trouble with placing where the viewer would be.
Are there any books, tutorials on that area?
>>2318177
The viewer's eyes are where the horizon is
>>2318372
Yeh, got that. Now if the viewer is lying on their stomach looking up at a tower?
>>2318543
The horizon would still be at eye level. There would be a new vanishing point that the upright planes of the tower would recede to; it would a 3-point perspective image at this point.
