My askbox is open to anything too uhhhhh wether you god forbid wanna ask my opinion on this or that or just other silly things I also will take HS drawing requests (ocs count too) just behave yourselves
Ill also add something about my ocs here eventually too YEAH did I mention im absolutely fucking nutty for fantrolls
I will edit this later once I know what to add OK BYE
Main is still @nnugatoryextravagance as always, I am ill in the head
Page 5,000 of Homestuck!
that means we’re roughly 62% through this baby. It’s possible I’ll finish this comic by 4/13 this year, or failing that by my birthday later in April. Not for sure, but it’s definitely a possibility.
When I started I thought I would plow straight on with the Epilogues and Homestuck 2, and maybe some of the games afterward (I am not a gamer, I have trouble with the controls, but I played some of Friendsim a while ago, so I know I could do that). Is that something you all would be interested in seeing? I had another sideblog project I started at one point where I analyzed the political philosophy in space opera sci fi books, but I sort of stalled that one out indefinitely. I could jump to doing that for a while after HS, if you all would find that cool. I’m realizing I am a lot better at labors of love when I have people to share them with. What do you guys think? I will get to the epilogues and HS^2 eventually either way.
When I started I was mainly just doing this for me, since HS has a lot of personal importance to me, but I definitely have enjoyed the aspect of this where people respond to my takes. I like the analysis, the bouncing ideas around. Even having an idea shot down is sort of refreshing. I could babble on like Aranea for quite some time.
Is there a difference between being inspired by someone else's work and copying? Where do you think that line is drawn?
This is an interesting question to answer. This was something I learned in college a few years ago with regards to mainly the artistic world. My instructor stated that because art has been around for so long, it’s nearly impossible to create anything completely original. That if you see something, its ok to want to draw it, or recreate it, as long as you attempt to make it original as you can…try to make it your own. I think she even stated that its ok to keep roughly 40% of the original work in the piece, but the last 60% needs to be yours. This also falls into the ideal of referencing, tracing etc. Many artists struggle with whether its ok to reference or not, whether its ok to trace. Sadly as of late I’ve seen many people respond or post ideals that I do not find truly healthy for any artist at any stage in their career. Or I’ve seen one artist post a piece, then a week later another person posts something eerily similar. Or artists that YEARS AGO hopped on band wagons harping other artists for tracing, then for w/e reason are now suddenly ok with it. While it’s ok to see something you like and want to recreate, I honestly feel there needs to be some sort of mutual respect for the person you are inspired by. But this is where I feel a bit conflicted. I see artists will pay ‘higher respect’ for a well-established artist. They’ll make a note in their piece stating “I was inspired the great yadya so I recreated this piece.” But when it comes to, let’s say, a not so popular artist, the same respect isn’t there. I believe all artists of all skill level if, inspire another, have the right to be let known that they are doing so. While I don’t think you need to state in every piece everyone time, if you find yourself heavily inspired to the point of recreating a piece instead of attempting to changing that 60% of the work, you need to let said artist know or mention the piece somehow in your piece. It’s the right thing to do. With that said, this brings up the argument…is referencing really ok? But it requires so much work to just pay homage to an artist…sometimes its hard for people to bite their tongue and either a) mention they are, or b) allowing yourself to accept that referencing is ok.Referencing is perfectly fine, I myself reference a lot. Hell, I have a personal sideblog where I reblog a lot of stuff I like, whether it’s a certain artists painting style, or how they drew a character a certain way etc. Don’t hold yourself back from the idea that it is bad, we all have to learn and looking at references helps us do so. Just try and make it your own, try your best, show the world how awesome can be in YOUR STYLE. Change up the pose a little, the color scheme, the character portrayed, ANYTHING to show that you are attempting to showcase your ability and capacity that could potentially become something better than even the original itself. Now going back a little to paying respect to someone you reference, especially if they are the same community, is well, honestly not only beneficial to the artist, but to yourself as well. Don’t think people won’t see what you’re doing…most of us keep our traps shut because we don’t wish to rile up drama, but you are being judged, and eventually it come back to bite you. Whether its constantly copying pieces all the time, tracing every single part of your piece or what have you, you’re not only hurting the person you are taking from, but you are hindering your growth to even fully evolve as an artist yourself. Why would you want to do that to yourself? Don’t you want to become better? Stop holding yourself back and let yourself GROW. The whole subject is a very sensitive topic for me. While pursuing my associates, I dealt with my own share of plagiarism. While not art related, it had to do with a personal short story I had wrote over a semester. I made the mistake of giving a copy to a classmate, and the said person showed/posted it on facebook. It was my mistake, and it’s with anything being shared, you have that risk of having your work taken. The whole incident for a long time (and still does) deter me from pursuing my writing beyond just having my ideas and publicly sharing them. If anyone reads this, please take what I’m saying and try to understand. I’ve had many strong feelings on this subject as of late, and while I’ve tried to keep my mouth shut, I felt the need to saying something. While I love this community dearly and have met some of the most amazing and beautiful artists ever, there is always so much discourse between us that it makes me sad…always trying to go after the other, saying crude and rude things, discrediting, its so sad. Some of it is based off personal relations, which can’t be helped, but I wish at times we could all just try and stick together and support each other.I’m very sorry for the rant. I personally hate talking publicly about my feelings, as I prefer sticking to those I trust, but I felt I’ve held these feelings in far too long to not be honest. I myself am not innocent in not saying I don’t reference, I traced when I first started drawing back in HS, I use brushes made by other artists and a few of my own in my pieces, and I get how hard it is to draw in general. My journey as an artist has been struggle both mentally and physically, but I keep going because I wish to continue to grow and hopefully become something great, and share my feelings through my work. I believe I’ve done many great things, and I hope to continue to do so, I want to keep creating things that make not only others proud, but myself. I believe the rest of us also wish to do this, deep down. I want you all to succeed, and you all have the capacity to do so, but respect each other on your journey. It will only help you, not hurt you.If anyone wishes to speak with me privately over this, or wishes to respond my door is open. Once again, sorry to flood your dashes with rabble, but I needed to say it. -Tsubi/Choobi
