Chocolate guy... What the fuck!?
He cannot keep getting away with it.
Every piece of art goes through an ugly stage. Keep going.
This was advice I got from an art teacher when I was a kid. It has helped me a lot because it comes to mind every time I look at a half-finished work and want to stop because it doesn't look like what I imagined in my head yet.
What's some good art advice you have to share?
The problem isn't the over designed twinks or the silly horse girls or the goofy cookies it's the gambling. You guys know it's the gambling right? I need to you all to know the problem with gatcha games is that they're just normalizing gambling addictions to younger generations.
yes! this!!! the big grift of gacha games is that they've convinced people they aren't gambling or contributing to the machine of gambling! its a free world and we all have our vices I am not going to blow you up for playing poker at a casino or smashing your yuri cookies together but you absolutely need to treat both the same way

I've only barely started playing MTG but I am so far baffled as to how the community doesn't have some IRL equivalent of Pokemon gyms. People put so much effort into creating decks with unique theming, and while plenty of people are trying to optimize their decks to be flawlessly unbeatable, even more just seem to really like decks with cool themes surrounding particular creature types or mechanics.
I just think Magic would lend itself really well to a type of semi-competitive scene where you and your buddies can hop on the bus to the next town over to go fight Crab Guy (guy who likes crabs) at the Crab Gym (room at the back of a game store with paper crabs on the walls) to get your Crab Badge (small pin with a crab on it) by defeating his Crab Deck (deck whose only creature cards are crabs)
It's been awhile but finally getting back into the swing of drawing!
Finally getting to interact with Strahd in closer proximity and this guy smelled my boy :(

when i was 12 i babysat this girl for a few years and she would come to me and show me her art, drag me by my wrists and point at the pieces she’d made during the week. and she’d be like “do the voice” and i’d put on a sports-announcer olympics-style voice and be like “such form! this level of coloring! why i haven’t seen such perfection in crayola in a long time. and what is this? why jeff, now this is a true risk… it seems she’s made … a monochrome pink canvas…. i haven’t seen this attempted since winter 1932… and i gotta say, jeff, it’s absolutely splendid” and she’d fall back giggling. at the end of every night she’d check with me: “did you really like it?” and i’d say yes and talk about something i noticed and tucked her in.
she was just accepted into 3 major art schools. she wrote me a letter. inside was a picture from when she was younger. monochrome pink.
“thank you,” it said, “to somebody who saw the best in me.”
themm!! did some more practice
can't get over this dream I had about a seemingly normal make some noise prompt
took me like 10 mins after waking up to think

hey so maybe an unpopular opinion but, I dont care what your creative work is, if you explicitly ask for criticism, you are ASKING for harshness.
you have waived your right to be upset by it.
(this is for criticism to the work, people attacking you and not the art aren't critiquing, they're being assholes.)
"oh but what if they didn't like the part I most loved!?"
Tough.
Figure out what they didn't like, figure out if you do or don't agree with them, act accordingly. not all criticism is correct, but ignoring it all is shooting yourself in the foot.
"oh but they were too mean"
Were they? Or are you feeling attacked because they had criticism in the first place. Remember, its not your responsibility to request criticism, (and I agree, unwanted criticism feels like getting shot from behind) but if you DO request it, then it is your responsibility to act with the DISCIPLINE OF AN ARTIST. you have the human gift of art, do not degrade it by making your insecurities heavier than your craft.
you asked for medicine, im sorry it was bitter, focus on getting better before you focus on the flavor.
"b- but you dont understand! i was actually fishing for compliments!!!"
BAD. IF YOU WANT COMPLIMENTS, GROW UP AND ASK FOR SOME. If you have someone you can ask for criticism, then you have someone you can ask for compliments, it might feel awkward to do so but I assure you any good friend won't stutter to help, and i assure you more, fishing for compliments by asking for complaints makes you look insufferably conceited.
I'm sorry but your friends can tell and they'd much rather you just ask them to help you feel a little better than dance around it.
Look. I'm a writer. I have severe anxiety. I not only understand these defensive mindsets, ive lived them. I've used criticism to fish for compliments, I've gotten upset at the tone of a critique, I've gotten aggressively defensive when a scene I adored got ripped to shreds, hell! sometimes i still catch myself doing this!
But you are not your art. And that lesson is tough to learn, tougher still to use because good art almost always contains a sizable chunk of the artist, but when you ask for criticism, it is because you are ready to detach, ready to be brave and let your art stand on its own.
Criticism should be scalpel sharp, dont let yourself get cut.
Good luck artists. you can do it. Be valiant!
(and PS: anyone asked to criticize an artwork who defaults to "this sucks therefore the artist sucks" you are the worst.)

i see y’all with your “steven goes to work at the mystery shack” headcanons and i’ve just gotta say… he would absolutely be the sketchiest person in gravity falls
the 2nd gravity falls summer (bc you know there would be more than one) the mystery is ‘what the fuck is wrong with this traumatized pink teenager’ instead of ‘who is the author of the journals’
with such great hits as
mabel (upon seeing steven’s gem): you’re PERMANENTLY BEDAZZLED?????
dipper: ugh gideon’s the worst
steven: oh yeah I hate it when your friends try to kill you, but you just gotta wait it out and be patient with them and they’ll come around to you eventually
dipper: what. the fuck.
the kids repainting the sign when mabel drops her paintbrush to the ground by accident, cue steven being like ‘np i’ll get it’ and walking straight off the edge of the roof
mabel: i hate that picture of me, 4th grade’s the worst
steven: haha yeah…grades…those exist… i definitely didn’t look exactly the same from ages 8 to 14 for complicated shapeshifting reasons
“our grunkle stan is kind of a sketchy guy” “oh no way most of my family are war criminals”
steven: *breaks a cup* aw shit *licks it and it seals back together*
dipper: *furiously taking notes*
theres no possible way that steven “haven’t you noticed I’m a star” universe doesn’t come over to mabel’s slumber parties w/ candy and grenda and casually mention his girlfriend who a. is literally a knight in shining armor, b. has taken down multiple genocidal dictators thousands of times her size, not to mention c. mastering the art of swordfighting when she was twelve and d. saving his life and the lives of all the beach city residents on a regular basis
dipper: *trying to reach something on a high shelf*
steven: oh here you go *shapeshifts his arm to grab it and bring it down*
dipper: ??????thanks??
playing w/ waddles and nonchalantly saying something about missing his own large, pink pet, a magical lion that can teleport and that he has ridden into battle multiple times
(at suzy’s diner) steven: don’t worry, i’ll get the bill
various pines: thanks man
steven: it’s cool, my dad’s a millionaire
dipper:
it’s honestly the funniest fucking thing to imagine steven outright not even PRETENDING to hide any of the unusual parts of himself, but dipper still acting as if it’s all some giant conspiracy he’s going to crack by the end of summer.
mabel: “dipper, stop being such a dummy-dumb, he literally TOLD us that he’s half gem on his mother’s side!”
dipper, chewing furiously on his pen: “yeah, but what does that MEAN???”
steven: Oh my mom used to be an alien overlord sent to earth to drain it of its resources. But she didnt want to so she lead a rebellion against my aunts and grandma which i had to finish a couple years Grunkle Ford: huh, so thats what happened to the gem authority
The implication that Ford knows exactly what Steven is and just left Dipper to obsess over it anyway is gold
older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:
éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.
therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:
there’s a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats it’s the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping
the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armor
so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off
That’s a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that
male or female
hero or villain
sea or land
even in the snow
I guarantee you Frazetta’s Rohirrim were 100% pants-free
Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much
Frank Frazetta was the reason He-Man was designed like that; the producers conduct a study to see what art appeal the most to children, and Frank’s work came out on top in popularity. So everyone in He-Man is dressed the way they are directly because of Frazetta.
That man gave us the gift of warrior thighs and tits for everyone.
Ah, it has been too long since I have seen the no pants post on my dash. And yes, this is a rare case where it wasn’t some sexist nonsense but an egalitarian No Pants Agenda.
