i drew this **** twice. damn near finished the whole comic before the document crashed ( **** sai). so I drew it all over. I think god was trying to warn me not to post this
Why do so many artists especially female ones draw themselves with some stupid **** like the bunny ears we see right here? Soule has a retarded eye, and that other girl whose name I do not know has a paper hat? Why?
I dunno soule's eye is at least somewhat creative. Doesn't mean its good but at least it's something i haven't seen before. The entire animal ears thing on the other hand has been beaten to death often enough to supply the rest of humanity with ears for their ****** webcomics. to be fair i liked this strip though
oh boy you haven't been around a lot have you, just look up the term chuunibyou and you learn why soules characters eye is stupid, though it more or less not given to the character by there choice they still have it
Soule's (the character) eye is actually part of the storyline, it's supposed to be their. Her explanation is that the character only looks like her, it's not an author avatar. That's why she's fine doing **** with her.
If you make all your characters look the same it apparently turns people away from wanting to view your content.
Unique features on a character both give it more depth, at times, but also give it an easily recognizable feature so someone can see said character and go "Oh thats- bla bla bla"
Source: I did an art class for a semester and we did a unit on making comics and stuff.
For some (definitely not all) artists, it's to express sexual fantasies or may have something to do with escaping from reality. For example, if an artist enjoys pet play as a cat, she obviously can't walk around 24/7 with cat ears on. However, she can add cat ears to her comic character instead. It's not necessarily to make herself "stand out". She just personally likes seeing herself that way and and uses art to express that side of her. Once again, this applies to some artists, not all.
It's pretty simple, to not be forgetable, and to be recognizable. If they don't make a character with something you can clearly remember, you will not inmediatly connect each comic with the same artist
and kasper has his tie, and gee has his hat covering his eyes, and captain wow has a sock on his hand, and i forgot his fj name but theres a guy that draws himself as an astronaut/robot ect ect
idk uniqueness i guess
a majority of the OC artist on this site have some sort of detail they add to themselves so they arent average.
you can draw a million average characters, might as well add something strange or different
Holy **** I think i did something like this once but jut repressed it. Was at a diner and a waitress came up and said sauce and I said the name of the bottle she was holding. HOly **** OP **** you for bringing up a repress memory of autism.......also nice style
**captaingrif used "*roll picture*"** **captaingrif rolled image** I've never been in this situation, it proper response to this mistake to kill yourself or seclude yourself from society?
thanks for the advice, anonymous poster
time to quit drawing all together
after all, as the guy who draws his oc borderline female with bunny ears and red eyes, my number one fear is embarrassing himself
Am I crazy, or did gearboy decide to make a new account? If that's the case, then good on him. I always thought he should have abandoned the name as soon as the first tracing event happened.
Often in programs like photoshop you can find pieces that crashed/computer shut off on you in a certain file. If you google you could easily find out how, I'm sure.
