Not me, but my former painting teacher at uni. He had a student who wanted to be a painter, but her results were extremely poor. I'm talking about poor technique and wet canvas on critique day (which is a no-no). It became an entire scandal because after he failed her-
Teacher basically convinced her that while painting might not necessarily be her passion, music certainly was. He was nice enough to provide some connections. That girl is working at SONY in music production now. Lololol
He always loved telling that stories to newbies.
-it turned out EHR parents were connected with some higher ups in uni and they were NOT happy. Teacher stood his ground and had a 1 on 1 with the student. Turned out she DJ'd FOR FREE at parties during the week (which is why she was always turning in assignments late).
Do yourself a favor and find an alternatives to ad*be. I promise you, Photoshop is the only decent photo editor you need, but for drawing/vector/video software you can find stuff for a cheaper price. Don't pay subscription service for something that should be a one time payment.
My soul left my body at this response.
The racism is actually astounding.
"Well you were colonized so your language is essentially butchered anyways". Holy hell. I don't blame the Spanish-speaking community at all on this one.
I think people forget that:
-Fanart is copyright infringement. Most companies are not going to go after every single case of fanart so they "allow" it for cons. They accept the loss.
-Hoyo already made their billions so they encourage the scene. Most companies don't do that.
Can confirm for most of these. Any hashtags (non-trending), links, or @/s in your MAIN POST will immediately de-boost your tweet. A couple mutuals of mine tested it out and it's amazing how much LESS engagement you get from doing so. There are some ways around this though:
artists,
words like сommissiоn, pаypаl etc - will deboоst your twееts
links to other websites - will deboоst your twееts
hashtags unless trending - will debоost your twееts
even text, (at)s and such - will debоost your twееts
witnessed and tested, maybe it helps someone.
I hate to be "back in my day" but when I was young, you just accepted that some Miku songs were about sex because anyone can make a Hatsune Miku song and that appealed to any and all creators. There's no need to be ashamed. I like Spice and Holy Lance Explosion Boy, too. Lol
I think what I like about the cameos in Smiling Friends is that they naturally integrate these personalities into the show's world. AVGN voices a literal demon and NC is a demon slayer. It feels less like a corporate mandate and more of, "wouldn't it be funnier if they were x?"
Can't follow people smaller than your own following.
Can't follow TOO MANY accounts.
Can't unfollow TOO MANY accounts
Can't retweet too much.
Can't like too much.
Is there anything I CAN do on this hellsite?
Engagement feel down for you?
It’s because you keep breaking the rules of the algorithm
I went through all 13,000 lines of code
Here are 6 landmines in the algo that are destroying your reach, and what you can do to fix it
Why are you booing him? He's right.
Also, for context, he made this tweet after an artist was harassed and blackmailed for making a genderbent Spiderman 2099.
It's because people treat media so clinically. Romantic tension is just "wasting" time, slice of life actually developing the characters is "boring", and people refuse to engage with the art they encounter. They don't want to wait. They just want to "get to the good stuff".
I don't care what people say about collecting. You can't have your kid destroy other people's belongings.
I don't know if the kid has an issue with the Uncle, but regarding, the parents are still responsible and should pay for it. No questions asked.
I love how Megamind basically subverts a lot superhero troupes yet it doesn't insult the audience's expectations. It's clear the writers loved these troupes and wanted to reconstruct them in an interesting way. It makes the movie more fun on a rewatch.
Fake out deaths in superhero movies are usually lame but Megamind has my favorite by far
Metro Man has an existential crisis and orchestrates a fake death,all in under a second
It's interesting that he feels he has no choice but to fake his death in order to be himself.

I understand wanting more variety in art, but you really can't force it. If you truly want a specific type of artwork out there, the directive is on YOU to create that. No one else.
You have to be the change you want to bring.
When will these producers learn to tell their staff to just shut up and let the show air?
No one would be super upset if they didn't stoke the flames, but now they have to deal with their VA making a fool of themselves.
I don't think people realize DA is a containment site. These people are immediately going to go to the next major website and flood the market just like Tumblr. Lol
deviantart here heard someone said no one would ever be as stupid as tumblr was when they sanitized the platform 5 years ago and was like:
"hold my beer."
This bread animation is genuinely bad. It doesn't give you a good idea of texture and it looks unappealing. Like those "60fps ANIME FOOD LOOKS SO GOOD" videos.
@Win98Tech
Nintendo: Actively blocks preservationists from accessing their games, tries to make emulation seem illegal when it's not, have little regard for preserving their own game's source code
TC: I'm buying all these game to help preserve them because Nintendo won't
CM: 😡😡😡
Keep in mind, all she said was that she didn't want to use it because of the inevitable copyright issues that would follow. She didn't even say that AI is evil or anything. She just gave the MILDEST take possible and these weirdos STILL went after her.
A Chinese artist/creator spoke out against AI and refused to use it and in response AICels doxxed her, stole her work and trained it and then threatened to find and r*pe her.
Totally normal world we're living in.
You'd think OP's joking but no. Look up any review during the early 2000's for a JRPG. It's actually wild how xenophobic gaming media outlets were to them.
Under 1k? 🎨
Post your artwork here!
Let's have a space for those who might get buried easily! Show them some love!
-Show your artwork!
-Rt this for exposure!
-Give us your social media links! (If you have any!)
-Tag a friend to join! (Optional)
I'll rt as much as I can!
4Kids actively censored content from many of the overseas properties they got licenses for. In some cases, they censored SO MUCH they barely had any original footage left to show. Not only that, the translations were abysmal, even for the time.
Because I've seen comments about this, Yuzu having a Patreon is NOT the reason Nintendo went after them specifically. Companies sell you emulators. Paid emulators are legal AND Nintendo knows this. Nintendo specifically abused an untested part of the DMCA system to do this.
I don't understand why Twitter is so upset at how other people draw their own characters. At the end of the day, unless you paid for them to draw you a specific body type, I say let people do what they want.
Nevermind, it appears that with Clip Studio Paint, even if you have the perpetual 2.0 license, you can still be LOCKED OUT OF BEING ABLE TO USE THE APP.
This is on desktop by the way. You aren't safe.
The internet has completely distorted having empathy or sympathy for others.
Having $200 left after major expenses while having a family to support is scary. You are one bad day from poverty. A broken car, severely sick family member, etc. It's not stable living.
It's such a whiplash to see something like Charlie Brown be so sincere in its presentation with it's setting and characters but then see the new ATLA live action piece fall flat on its face. Lol
Whenever this scene goes viral I want to remind people that Kuuga is one of the more "friendlier" Riders.
The only reason he did this is because the guy he beat up poisoned 90 high school students.
Some committed suicide to stop the pain.
Well-deserved beat down tbh.
Children can not consent to being posted pictures of online. This is exactly why people tell you not to post photos of your own kids. You are the adult in the situation and have to take accountability for your own child's safety. If you don't advocate for them, no one will.
the whole “don’t post your kids because there are pedos on the internet” thing feels like the whole “watch what you wear when you go out cause there are rapists” like can we attack the real problem?
I don't say this to be harsh, but every single sort of reference to popular Japanese media is almost always Akira, Sailormoon or DBZ.
We get so many Akira references nowadays that's it's really not special anymore.
Honestly, you'd get more points for referencing Gundam or Big O.
I don't think people would survive when Ouran High School Host Club, Homestuck, or Sports anime
#27273
was front and center for 5 years. Lol
The fact is that if you want more variety, vote with you wallet. Be happy that cons even allow anything at all.
I'm still baffled how the devs said in multiple interviews how the game was inspired by other VNs, the game would be 70% Story and 30 Combat, and people still got mad it wasn't a traditional SRPG. Lol
My god, Digimon Survive is 2 years old?!
I know it had a troubled development and is divisive but it's easily my favourite Digimon game of all time.
Maybe one day we'll see this pay off 🥹
10 year olds should not have access to social media. The fact that they revealed their personal info is terrifying enough.
No, I don't care what anyone says, kids should not have free range to social media. I say this as someone who grew up with free range on early YT.
alright i'm sold, this
@discord
username change is officially stupid and unsafe
10 year olds just reaching out to random people now that usernames are just twitter @'s
Anyone taking Pixiv having to forcibly censor content not to get dropped by major banking systems as "hyuck hyuck, the weebs can't enjoy their weird porn anymore!" are missing the point. Censorship always starts with the undesirables and moves into bigger aspects of life.
Very rarely do I read through these types of posts but since I am a fan of Chugga, I wanted to wait and see. Assuming this is 100% true, this really feels like it should've never been brought into public light at all.
The kicker is that the parents that were once against him actually came to personally thank him later on. They realized she was much happier working in music. One of the rare happy endings that didn't result in him losing his job. Lol
By this logic, Shoujo shouldn't exist because many times that series serves as a power fantasy for young girls in which hot guys fawn over them.
Or is that the exception because it JUST happens to be for girls?
This moral panic is unfounded and ridiculous lol
we as a species will never truly be able to quantify the damage that this genre of media has done to young men, imagine having your formative years of discovering sexuality and romantic ideals being defined by manga and anime where women just throw themselves at some loser guy
This is not true. Lol
Porn was just as easily accessible to prior generations, especially the early internet with blatant pop-up ads, gore, etc.
Gen Z is living in the most sterile version of the internet. There are more ways to avoid this type of content now than ever.
Gen Z is growing up in a time where internet porn is so easily accessible it’s unavoidable. Teen girls are observing how this, combined with the abysmal state of sex education, is affecting their relationship with sexuality and peers. But older gens dismiss them as “puritan”.
@MusketsGoBoom
It's also because Steam is generally easy to use. Even the least tech savvy person knows to Create Account-->Buy Game->Play game. Unless there's some weird anti-cheat or launcher, it's generally one of the painless experiences possible.
There's a reason why people don't make Sanrio or Disney merch at cons. Mainly because those companies WILL bring down the ban hammer. Other niche series can sell decently but not enough to make a profit. It's a balance.
Have some respect for yourself and what you do as an artist. Remove "can't draw", "shitty artist", and/or anything like "aspiring" from your bios. You need to have more confidence when it comes to your work. Show people you like what you do and they'll come to you!
Adults don't like working on their days off either. LOL
The kid has a job, already shoveled the driveway, and the father is telling him to go do other people's houses? I'd be pissed off, too. lol
This teen has a VERY tolerant father because his attitude is too grown for my taste.
Anyway, we were different because our parents took "train a child up" literally. These kids are entitled and lazy because they are given the floor to be.
This child has a rude awakening coming.
Before I leave and get utterly swamped by commissions, I made a guide on making a commission sheet. Thought some of you guys (and I) might need it for future reference. My first big tutorial but it actually helped me learn a lot! INKFY'S COMMISSION GUIDE - A THREAD
@DeadJosey
Never going to forget that people were arguing that professional VAs would take the time out of their day to work for free on some random student's project. Lmaooo
You know it's bad when even the songs don't get any attention. THE SONGS.
I haven't seen one Wish fan in the wild. Not a single person covering their songs. I've seen rewrites of the OG songs but not a single person like in Frozen.
Disney's Wish officially scores a net loss of 131 Million dollars
The film that was Disney's 100th Anniversary celebration film, is now the 4th highest box office failure of 2023
I unironically miss the Len fangirls. They were crazy but at least they were funny and entertaining with their fan works and fanfiction. Now everyone wants every piece of work to be some moral purity test. I hate it so much.
▶DO NOT use hashtags UNLESS it is trending. Why? It's because Twitter has it so that ordinary words can be searched normally. It's the reason why you don't need to tag a character's name as a hashtag anymore. You can easily look it up via the search bar now. It WILL appear.
How is it that a group that met on 4chan is able to write more compelling story about disabilities in a dating sim compared to other stories in the past 10 years?
Yes, this is a Katawa Shoujo appreciation post.
▶USE LESS TEXT FOR ART-ONLY POSTS. Write a simple short sentence/one-word description to match your art. THEN, in the same thread, write up any author's notes. I do this for my own artwork and it will help boost your work a bit.
Ask any mangaka and I guarantee you 9/10 all of their characters would be considered Japanese. The only exception to this rules would be fantasy/sci-fi settings and characters from other countries. Most managaka will make it pretty obvious if a character is a foreigner.
@Sixigfrog
The only reason whyt ppl love anime so much is because the characters look white enough to make them feel comfortable watching it because god knows if they actually looked asian then it wouldn’t have been as popular in the west back in the 80s

Just wondering. Why didn't Sony just release a new handheld console with its own game library and also does remote play. Rather than just a remote ps5 handheld
The vita had its own games and could also do ps4 remote play

r/mendrawingwomen will always be hilarious to me considering:
-Many of the artworks featured there are created BY WOMEN.
-Their corrections are 100% based on their own stylization tastes which is fine...BUT they are still unrealistic by their OWN standards!
>anatomy mistakes
>mistakes
Lel
I’m not gonna pretend my art is realistic, the funny part is just about thinking that it not being super realistic is a mistake and not intended stylizations on my part lol.
Even more for dragon ball of all things.
If you're going to take on commission, you need to treat it as a job.
The fact is that when money is being introduced, it is now a business transaction with an expectant client waiting for their product.
People have a right to know where their hard-earned money is going.
Maybe an unpopular opinion?? but I feel like you should never ever rush an artist you are commissioning even if they take months or even a year on your commissions.
Like artists are people too and life happens. It really means a lot to them if you just tell them “no rush!”
@JPEGNEGRO
As another comment mentioned but...did these people not study post WWI Germany? I remember it being drilled into my head during my financial/history classes about why inflation is bad and that scarcity is what influences value.
There will never be another film like the Incredibles. How many kid's movies can you name where a Superhero has to explain to their kids that, "The bad guys you see on TV aren't real. These people ARE real and they will kill you"?
Genshin Impact has some of the most prolific artists in the industry. People would kill to get the amount of artists for their games that Mihoyo invests into. You don't have to like the art, but calling these "atrocities" is crazy.
They even add jokes to the middle of the skit with Alan telling Charlie to speed up the video. Lmao
I didn't notice some of these internet personality cameos because they're integrated so well into the world. It's great.
D-Did we forget the episode in which Jet was going to kill AN ENTIRE VILLAGE because there were fire nation people were in it??? Dude literally assaulted an old man because he was from the fire nation. He was going to kill innocent people.
this could cause controversy but my biggest problem with ATLA is how it depicted colonized people as villains for using violence against settlers. Characters like Jet and Hama get horrible treatment simply for fighting back the oppressing nation
The overcompensated with Peach so hard. LMAO.
I'm just kind of tired of the traditionally girly characters being made girl bosses because people think pink/girly = bad.
