aceles (01/13/2016) [-] Dude the video's not that popular. The only reason I picked it was because A. I like to have at least one form of music in my comps. and B. I remember liking this song and still do and it was about undertale There is still loads of creative stuff in this fandom. People have different tastes. Not liking one AMV is hardly a good reason to abandon such a great game. Sorry I didn't mean to insult your tastes in particular, man. Though looking back on it I kinda did. So sorry about that. That being said I still don't see that much similarity between the song and the game, other than the lyrics, "Nice work you did. You're gonna go far kid." but the rest of the song seems to not sync up as well and the connection just seems tangential. But that's my own outlook on it really, so you know just me spouting my own opinions. Song's not bad and neither is the material they just seem like two good flavors that don't taste good together. I'd say definitely stick with the method if it seems to be working for you. And yeah I know. I'm a huge fanboy of "A Dreamer Reborn" on Tumblr and I'll probably continue to enjoy it to it's climax. What I meant with that "It's a good signifier that it's time to move on to something else" comment was based off a principle I've come to adopt, which I could explain if you care to hear about it but to prevent this comment from becoming too long for anyone to read it, I'll keep it out of this one. x) Anyway, long story short, sorry to have offended! Best of luck with your future comps. | ||

Art is so hard sometimes, art can even hurt my heart... Yet I feel relaxed doing it and I feel more than anything... Joy.
But I'm a little tired today, I'm gonna lay down here in your profile and relax... I want to do so much but there are things out of my reach.
Have you made everything you wanted to create?
But I'm a little tired today, I'm gonna lay down here in your profile and relax... I want to do so much but there are things out of my reach.

Nope. And I never will. I could draw for 2 or 3 life times and never be satisfied. Fortunately for me I'm more of a journey guy rather than a destination guy.
The joy of creation is a good sign you're doing what you love, which is something I think everyone in the world should strive for. Unfortunately it's something few people wind up succeeding at. If it's important to you, I recommend pursuing this happiness.
Our passions aren't a source for eternal motivation and the inspiration to create can run out. But it's not all about motivation. It's important you apply self discipline and hard work to endure times of low motivation.
There are things out of your reach? How exciting!

I probably more a destination guy... There's a large comic I want to make, once is done, I'm not really eager to what happen next, well... I have ideas X).
It really is my dream... To become a pro, to be know, to share and create and all the emotions that come out of that, there's passion of course X) and hard work, I almost gave up a year ago...Nothing came to my mind and didn't want to make anything anyway, but now is a whole new world, the frustration I have now is that there's so much to do but not the ability to make it happen all right now... I'm stuffed.
One of the drawings I always wanted to make was one of my character walking in a rain of sparks... Making hundred thousand solid little points of light boucing and falling, that would be so cool.
It would be so much easier to just make hentai or close up to popular characters.... But, naaah (I still will make hentai and close up from time to time lol)

You might be. A lot of being an artist has very little to do with art. A lot of it is being your own boss and learning when to say no to your impulse desires. Of course in order to do that you require a lot and continuous self reflection and find out who you are as a person and what you want to be as an artist.
Lots of people have dreams. Not everyone meets them. I don't mean this in a demotivating way. I simply mean there are certain things you need to know that not everyone seems to. Goal setting and accomplishing, motivation tactics, self discipline (which is a big one that many people who work for someone else take for granted. They don't need self discipline because their discipline comes from an extrensic source. Not themselves. Typically their boss or schedule. You need to learn to be your own boss and set your own schedule and develop the mindset that what you plan is sacred and CAN'T be broken. I recommend starting on small things to help build this habit.) My first step on becoming self sufficient as corny as it might sound started with this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbkZrOU1Zag I was having trouble getting out of bed so I set this as my alarm so I would hear it every day. I won't bore you with details but it did help.
I say you take some time out of your commission time and devote a little bit of time a day to working on your dream pictures. Things you want to do and see from yourself. Put it in a portfolio and start sending it off. After all the only difference between people who work in the industry and people who don't is actually sending in a portfolio! That is of course if that is your goal. People spend their whole lives working for themselves and that's okay too!
Well you know the old saying. "There's an easy way and then there's the right way." Maybe hentai is the right way for you but I recommend a good deal of self analysis first before you decide.

I saw your reply yesterday but then I lost internet due a hailstorm...
Hmmm I want people to love my characters and my story as I love it, my dream is to become an artist able to make that possible, more like a guide or a door instead of the creator that has full control of their destiny, I want to transmit that kind of feeling. So my resolve and discipline is aimed to that.
That video was amazing bro, would be cool if we can edit the last part (the alarm noise) to make it even louder. I get what you mean, the first thing that has changed in my habits was the daily sketches, I don't want to miss a day!
I hope DA and Tumblr can help me spread my name and my art... For now DA is doing the trick, you make a fanart and then if you have 50 watchers you get at least 30 views... Plus 100 or 200 from people looking normally... and then if you're good some groups will request to have your work (or you can submit them yourself to them and wait if they approve it), some groups have over 3000 or even 10.000 subscribers so that helps a loooooooooot. Man you should be there and any artist should consider be there too...Despite the art thieves and some cringe people, the benefit is worth it.
I write a lot huh? I try to avoid that sometimes hehehe because is mostly "I ...Me... My..." but let me remind you that I act like this with you because you're one of the best artist here and I respect you, writing you and reading about you is always nice and very helpful. The artist I want to be should have at least half of your determination

I just finished my latest commision bro dashahead.deviantart.com/art/LOK-x-RWBY-Lovely-Reunion-558200745 I thought it was good and I got the "ok" to share it with everyone
Ain't bad at all. I would recommend studying gesture a bit. Your form is a bit stiff but overall is not bad.

Aawww man! the wacom 4 is expensive!! like .... A lot! (for me), it would be a great investment but over 200 $ is out of my reach... I'll try getting the cth 680 first (the one I was aiming for before)... Try how is like to have a medium size tablet with pressure sensor and get better with that.
When I become a better artist (I almost say "If" but nope, I must believe) I'll get that wacom 4 brand new.

Thank you! oh yes I will... I need to study the hands a lot (and... everything), that was one of my most feared weakness and I'm trying to improve them.
I'm also downloading tooooons of reference... Following this guy for example that makes crazy fast drawings almost every day. www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?id=2210449&type=all&p=4
How is like for you? working in something specific right now?

devilicious (08/18/2015) [-] Hello ! how're ya?
I'm planning to get a Wacon intous 3 (someday hopefully soon...), I noticed that my current basic tablet doesn't have pressure sensors like ... Any other drawing tablet, I always wondered why people were able to make cool sharp lines with one stroke.
What do you use ?

What do you use ?
I actually use a Cintiq. I've always used Wacom brand. Only one time did I use another type of tablet and it died in the first two weeks. Wacom is expensive but durable. It will last through a nuclear holocaust and no pen battery either.
I just googled that brand, HOLY ZEN D: is like what my favorite artist use too... Okay, new goal set XD
Well instead of trying to mimic the tools that I use probably best to find out what works best for you! It's good that you set goals for yourself but setting the right goals can be much more beneficial to you! Do get the intuos 3 or 4 it's an amazing tablet and very convenient. But don't let that stop you from practicing!
Hehehe do not worry, right now all I want is the intuos and a new keyboard... 1000 to 3000$ ? That's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my league right now (I see that happening maybe in like 3 years). I'm excited to get the intuos 3 and If I'm lucky the 4... Let's just hope everything goes alright, but trust me ... I'm aiming very high but with baby steps :3 it doesn't make sense to have the top equipment if I don't even know master the basics of drawings in tablet yet.
Hhah. Yeah. I'm a halfway professional illustrator. x)
And thank you! :> I'm glad you like it.
And thank you! :> I'm glad you like it.
Show me roughly what style you're going for. Always love to help!
Well... what pictures did you see that inspired you to make this comic?
Sorry I don't really explore DA too much anymore. Mind shooting me a link?

Alright so here's the bare basics of what makes this style so appealing and things you should practice to achieve it without copying.
Good Shape Juice- The poses are all dynamic and no two are exactly the same. This shows your skills in the art of form and makes your comic seem dynamic. Practice Gesture to get down dynamism and study anatomy to get down form.
www.quickposes.com/
Foreshortening- Basically body perspective which is super complicated. I still have trouble with it. Study old marvel comics. Spiderman is always a good choice.
Sex Appeal- This one's obvious but considering what your audience here is saying they don't want sexualized characters. The "Oh this is only popular because boobs" argument. It's up to you to either listen or ignore it.
Basic Color Theory- The colors in that comic aren't absolutely amazing. It's actually pretty basic rules. Dark background against pastel color characters makes the characters pop out much better which is good since they are the subject. Pastel just means the colors are really bright with moderate saturation. A very pure form of color without much darkness.
And that's it. Hopefully that helps for style. Let me know when you need help with ears.

Oh Deviantart does porn now. Alrighty then let's have a look gimme a sec.
I typically charge $20 an hour. They rarely run for greater than 5-8 hours. I'm kinda steep but I know what I'm doing so I feel like it's worth it. x)
An hour? I've only really seen what you post on the FJ board so I don't know what you can get done in an hour. Or two. Or three. It;d be awesome if you could show.
When you start finishing the one i want from you i would like it to have this level of detail. if this is 2 to 3 hours thats 60 ish bucks and is doable!
I can do much better than that in 2 to 3 hours now. I'll go on with it!
any update on progress? i need it relatively soon so i can get it printed on a mug
Sorry I've been out of town for the past few days. I'll knock this one out as soon as I get back tomorrow!
Scratch that actually. Are you good at all at shiny characters? Like latex
Given the reference I can draw pretty much anything. What'd you have in mind?
Hot rubber Glitch on Floran action.
Have you ever drawn female characters? If yes, can I see?

Don't worry. It'll be of a Floran that actually means something to me.
Already there honey.
Florans are sex. You can't stop robo-dick.

I'm a special robot. I can have a dick if I want to.
You're just jealous because you're not getting this hot robot dick. My special floran is, but not you.

She picked me up from your lowly mother's home after I taught her how to read, you illiterate piece of dried up sap.
You wouldn't know a good time even if it hit you right in the face. At least my floran friend knows what's up.

My Glitch isn't even a pure glitch. ;-;
Well still. My special little floran (which isn't you) is amazing in every way. And I agree. Let's have a toast, to her.

I don't have any readily available female reference also any particular design of character? (Despite what I've said it might be smarter to go with someone else for this one. I don't know what's sexy about rubber and probably wouldn't portray it well.)
I'll see if I can get a slot from one of my rubber artist franz.
Hey, could you give me a tutorial or download on the brushes you use, please?
Sorry I don't own a gun. And being a furfag and therefore completely useless to society don't have the money to buy one or get a permit to own one. Sorry.

You're a really good artist. Why don't you make a comic and post it on fj? It could be about dragons. ******* . Cause that seems to be the only thing you like. I'm sure you could make a funny and sfw comic out of that.
I've tried making comics before. I'm terrible at it. And I've come to realize I'm not as funny as I think I am. Also, I need to make money and I'll make none here making comics and at this point I'm struggling just to make ends meet. So for now I just stay in my little corner of FJ. (Also I only get commissioned for dragons doing gay things. S'not that I like them or anything... baka)
Seems like I might be able to help out. I'm not good at animations though and GIFs will pop out more than a still image will so I can do the drawing and then hand it off to someone more talented with flash or whatever.

Have you ever thought about when you post pictures on the art board about telling peoplle about the backstory of the picture? Like what's meant to be happening in it. Because I seem to be able make my best crticisms when I have a story to work off of. I'm still coming up with criticisms about the hyena and leopard drawing.
You can fix the choking part by putting the hyenas hand underneath the leopards jaw and shading his hand so his tendons show through making it look like he's actually choking the leopard.
you also said that having the battle wounds in the drawing would have made it look like the leopard and hyena fought there for making it a rape scene. This could be fixed by having having empty potion bottles in the scene. You could have an empty lust potion near the leopard showing the viewer that he was responsible for spiking the health potion. To further support that you could also have a tipped over health potion near the hyena with the colours of the health potion and lust potion mixing together.
The final critique is the the hyena's teeth which are startingly white. When I think of hyena, I think of someone barbaric and barbarians aren't exactly known for their dental hygene.

I have before but an image that requires a story to fill the context is just lazy on the artists part. The art should capture the story. I realize I made errors in some parts but I am still learning. I've made mistakes and that's good because they'll be fixed in the next one. :A
I didn't mean with all your pictures just the ones that have a story written in conjunction with it, like this one.

Hey man, I'm not too sure if you remember me. You did that sick mass effect drawing for me almost a year ago, not sure if you remember but anyways, I was wondering if your schedule is free at all. I might have a few more drawings for you to do. This time, it's for a very special project. I'll fill you in on the details if you're interested. Let me know and if our schedules will allow it, hopefully you can help me again
Currently I'm trying to widdle down my steadily decreasing list of obligations and commissions and I'd like to finish that first before taking on anything new. Keep me posted if you can't find anyone though.
Uuh fag I have to ask you
How do you do properly INTERESTING poses
Do you have to make it like the character is doing an action or make some extreme perspectives
Because it seems all I can ever come up with it's "default standing"
And this kills the art

Hmmm.... Let's see...
My first thought process is come up with a good flow of movement, which I've learned from watching people, studying poses, learning anatomy, and drawing gesture... a lot.
If you really want to study flow movement, look at Ryan Woodward's work.
Here's an animation by him: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBk3ynRbtsw
Notice how the form of either character is never really defined. The entire project is focused on flow of movement and nothing else. A laser focus on the specific point your trying to get across in each step is really imperative. Just starting out- need to focus on form balance flow of movement and composition balance. (Composition balance is rule of thirds or golden ratio or whatever design principle you follow regarding positive and negative space) After that- Time to refine the form to the point that it's absolutely certain what the form looks like and what it's doing. (this is when knowledge of anatomy and reference come most into play) You probably use a different technique from me so the rest will probably be up to you. x)
I hope that helps.

Well would you look at this,I come back for two days and I already get stalkers again. It's no wonder I left. FJ's full of spiteful 12 years old that waste their day away screaming or whining,that are so obssessed they're going to stalk the latest comments of some random internet dude that,for some reason,they started to hate. What's with this place,really?
Meh it happens. I figure there's two ways to think about it. A) They really are 12 years olds and as such their opinions should not be respected or listened to and they should be manipulated to do our bidding or B) They aren't 12 year olds and they can be reasoned with if given the proper stimulus. just gotta find the right ways to rub some people.
I'm not so sure they're reasonable.I say 12 years old because to me that's how a 12 years old act,it's all about unreasonable emotions. I'm glad I'm not like that anymore,there's a time in it for everyone of us. Some don't evolve beyond that and you get SJWs or people obsessed with something,like furry or america or anime.
While this is all nice on how little I should care about that I still manage to,because in fact I want to understand their reasons. I mean that's kind of weird isn't it? Are those internet places just a community hub for everyone angry?

Trying to understand others is a noble gesture, but even if you understand why someone does something you still may not like their reasons.
I've found that FJ has more of a live and let live attitude. As long as you don't talk **** about them or draw unnecessary attention to yourself, most of them will just leave you alone because most of them really are here just to have a laugh or two. There are some who are here to be assholes but they are the minority and like most minorities should be ignored. (Racist joke. Hahah)
In the end, if someone's being a dick, being a dick back won't do anything for anyone except make you both look like assholes. Just ignore the guy.

Well,last time I was stating how there were SJWs who infiltrated the world of american comics and science-fiction writings (and even ended whole careers like this,if you ever wonder why science-fiction is more about gay space dinosaurs than actual science and fiction...),and I got attacked for that. I deduced there are people that are just reacting to react,they just oppose you with no reason at all other than to disagree with you. Doesn't matter if you say white,or black,or if they ever agree with you,they'll just want to disagree aggressively. It's strange and yet I feel like this is a logical psychological act.
You probably should have just let it end at your explanation instead of calling people out and saying they're reacting just to react. Because if that were true then telling them that would only have made them react again. This is what I mean by rubbing people the right way. Sometimes you have to use different wording to manipulate the reactionary dumb dumbs out there.
Also people have their opinions. They're allowed to be wrong and a good sum of people may even agree with their wrong opinion. This place is kind of weird in that, you can have a wrong opinion as long as it's funny. If you're comment sounds like it's taking things too seriously, nobody's going to listen to it. Sometimes you have to throw a self depracating joke in their to let them know you're not all high and mighty and are in fact self aware. You may be already but they don't know that and they think you're trying to tell them what to do.
When you insult their opinion it's like you're insulting them. The more reactionary and non-thinking of this particular group of people will always call you out and do their best to point out any hypocrisies in your statement. And yes the hypocrisies that they exude are ever prevelant, like the mental gymnastics they have to go through to point out your flawed argument on SJW's and their mental gymnastics, but sometimes you just have to ignore them.

It is but you can't really expect everyone to make the same progress at the same rate you do.
Hmm I'd like to see some of your works in progress and finished works as well!
I guess you can have this try I made recently,which is exactly the kind of things I'm having trouble with,and not one of those other drawings that I find easy.

Your anatomy is absolutely fine. It's stylized and well put together and proportioned. The pose is stiff and flat to be sure. There is no crossing of the form letting you know what's foreground middleground or background. For example you could let the tail curl the other way and have it droop a little as though it's hovering above the ground. this way the form of the tail crosses the form of the legs. It gives the form overlap and gives the most basic sense of space for your character. To solve the stiffness issue, again I recommend trying out gesture. It is amazing at helping you grasp flow of movement. Lessons you learn from doing gesture can be applied directly to your process and improve your would-be bland poses and make them interesting.
Or start putting them in your pieces to practice!
Normally it would but it's more a security deposit than anything. That way not as much of your money is at risk should I not step up to the plate and I'm not left with anything in the admittedly rare occasion that a commissioner backs out.
Oh **** dude. Sorry. Forgot about your comment. Well I do have a full queue at the moment so if you do find someone who you would rather commission before I can get to it, then by all means. You can take the image that I doodled up to them as well if you like.
Oh geez no. I only have like 17 pictures to draw. Most of them are just sketches. No big deal at all. I'm just letting you know it might take some time for me to get to them.
And like I said you have the complete idea. If you can't wait you can definitely take it to someone else whenever you like. No obligation to commission me.
M8 i'm just gonna give all $90 of it to you tomorrow. I cant just give you half of the $90 then the other half later that is ridiculous
I need to buy two visas one for your project and the one for Jays project.
Please understand Paypal is still constantly on my ass about me having like 200 ******* visas on my profile. I despise paypal so if I give you all the money now I can hope to avoid that step

As long as you're able to have constant surveillance of the exact moment the money has left your account on paypal and where exactly it went to I'm sure it'll be fine.
That being said hold off on money entirely then until the project is done.

Hmm. Flashy? Alright potentially doable. And at what level of detail?
Expensive art pieces from foreign countries. Gigantic portrait of herself. Perhaps a weapon designed by her and manufactured by her company hanging on her wall. Various awards and certificates hanging on the wall she has achieved over her lifetime. Etc.
The money raining thing seems a bit heavy handed. Almost comical and ruinous of the drama you're trying to build.
Oooh I hadn't gotten that impression. Perhaps I could make her pose more lighthearted as to imply her brushing off of Korra's grief with her as whimsy.
Sorry if it seems like I am being picky choosy right now
I want her to be evil. Evil in a way where she think humanity is like a giant tox box filled with **** for her to break on purpose
the kind of evil where she could go up to Korra and be like "Burning down that orphanage was hilarious. I drank a whole glass of orphan tears then I went home and masturbated on a massive pile of money. oh and I dont pay taxes because I despise charity."
Really really REALLY selfish. The kind of selfish who would mine down a mountain just to get her hands on Diamonds. So uncaring toward the environment she rapes rainforests clean just to have soft toilet paper or toothpicks for her sandwiches
That kind of evil

Don't worry it's just a personal joke. xD Anyway, no you're not being too picky. Probably my favorite commissioner thusfar. Because what people normally do is tell me, "Hey draw me something" here's a roll of $20s, go nuts." And I'm like alright what would you like? And they shrug and go just draw whatever and when given the option of everything, I can't think of anything.
You're very straightforward with what you want and I appreciate that.
At any rate what amount were you willing to spend on this?

I have on me $140
I need at least $50 of it for a another project
That is about $90
I know you were looking at about something a little higher but...that is as far as I can go
Maybe. If you can actually give me your word you can warp her personality that hard. Maybe even harder like "I am the proud owner of a hummer limosine that takes up 12 spaces. I'm just that entitled"

I normally don't have trouble warping personalities. Just need a proper direction to go in, which you've supplied. Not so sure I can guarantee anything aside from the fact that I don't charge full price up front and there's no obligation to pay until it's finished.
That being said at $90 I can a colored sketch. Slightely better quality than this picture.

So for $90 we're looking at
>Very angry Korra arguing her point with completely uncaring Asami as assholish and spoiled as you can draw her
>the conversation taking place in her office which has a massive portrait of her being delightfully cruel and obviously evil
**** you can even have her sipping a glass of wine as she cares even littiler about what Korra has to tell her

That appears to be the size of it yiss.
I can get some pretty vivid idea from this to make Asami appear as cartoonishly evil as possible.

Or as you refer to it as Capcom evil. I'm trusting your judgement on this.
Like she needs to be so uncaring that by the time she's done with this conversation she has money to masturbate on like she does every hour of every day
And it's in color so for $90 I say I am quite sexually aroused

I'm getting a vision of her drinking a glass of chardonnay out of the skulls of one of the orphan children from the orphanage she blew up last week. That kind of evil.
There is a 20% of the final amount as down payment but other than that nope.
What? Down payment
Wouldn't it make sense just to give you all the money at once so there is no down payment
That entire $90 I am giving you will go on a disposable visa which I will buy at a CVS down the street
Since its a disposable visa I will give you the card number for you to put in your paypal account and not feel awkward about it.

right it would be a picture of Asami firing into a non-descript crowd (to keep cost minimal) with Tommy guns like you asked, shouting, " **** everything but my money!" Lorra meanwhile being closer to foreground doing something relative to how you feel about her. Haven't thought that part out yet.
I'm not really feeling this idea
You need to make Korra look like she has been dealing with this **** for months and its now reached the point where it's gotten completely out of control. She cant take this **** anymore
Meanwhile Asami who is equally losing patience with Korra telling her like a child what she can and cant do which you cant instruct a person with her massive bank account to not do whatever the **** she wants
How about an original idea. From you. Humor me.

That last one was an original idea. Perhaps I got the wrong impression of what you wanted.
So an interaction between Korra and Asami is necessary then, just to clarify?

A brief one but a Theore one
You see those comics I posted? Jay may have drew them but the Dialouge was all me
I gave him a script then he draws what the script looks like in his head
You can have Korra and Asami talk about anything so long as there is scolding involved. Here is an example
>You bulldozed a rainforest to build a strip mall? Why?!
> **** you Korra! your avatar ideals aren't laws! The day you tell me what I can and cant do is the day I give a **** about our "friendship"
You really need to make them hate each other.

Ooh... hmm another idea then.
A waist up picture of them at side shot, Asami at a slightly more dominant angle to insinuate she controls the conversation. Accusatory pointing fingers all around.

Well it's not that complex of an idea. It's hard to describe an expression. I can do a quick example sketchy for free.
It's really just an idea sketch I'll add the anatomical accuracy later. I'm just wondering if this is the kinda thing you'd like?
I don't know. I don't share the same perspective as you so I'm forced to go off of implied perspective mixed with their cannon personality. Something along the lines of:
A: Look Korra, the money made from the selling of these munitions is what is funding republic city. The capitol building, the spirit world integration project, and the now illegal probending competitions that you love so much.
K: But the weapons you sell are being used to oppress those who can't even defend themselves because they had the poor judgement to invest their time in making a living for themselves instead of buying guns. We have guys with sticks fighting off thugs with tommy guns!

It's essentially isolationism vs socialism. Heh.
I'm glad you like it.
I'm glad you like it.
Oh no I wanted to give you an idea of what I was thinking so there's very little error in communication as to what it is you're getting. So to get the idea that's free.
I'm not so sure how good I am at gore. Never done it before so my hand might be sloppy.
Very strange masterbatory material but it's doable. What's your favorite rendition of Asami and least favorite of Korra?
#289 to #288

murrlogic ONLINE (01/16/2015) [-]
Favorite rendition
The one where she betrays Team Korra because Korra is too mentally inefficient to handle her ******* job
And since Asami is borderline sociopathic because she didn't have loving parents, has WAY too much money and a near psychotic obsession with building machines I am greatly aroused at my waifu giving no ***** about anyone but herself and her need to be wealthier
As for Korra...Either dead, begging for mercy, or has finally reached the realization Asami just does not want to be her friend anymore...or ever.

That's quite a passionate viewpoint. So then were you looking for a sketch with color, full quality image or what?
Legend of Korra is like bad canon fanfiction that is owned by Nick
Yes I hate Korra and there were to many instances where she cheated death.
Make it as graphic and detail as possible. So long as my Quadrillionaire waifu is disciplining the **** out of this bitch

I have a pretty interesting/hilarious idea I could work with. As far as cost goes. How does.... $130 sound?
Super detailed like you saw in that one before. It's costing the person $150. Sorry to say once it gets up to that level of detail I'm not even making minimum wage at that price.
Though I understand. How much would you be willing to spend on this particular piece?
Though I understand. How much would you be willing to spend on this particular piece?
Any style that isn't my own.
You can ask lots of artists this they'll give you a similar answer. Though the end goal is to get to a method of drawing that I like, I can't help but look at others and stress over how they did that much better and at a faster pace.
But I'd say I like painting and painterly styles the most. Colors are complex and interesting and finding out how they blend is really fun to do.

Heard of him yeah. He's not bad. Though he's more successful than me so what do I know. xD
So what about him?
So what about him?
Color might be an issue since I'm still learning though I'm not too shabby with expressions. Though not to be rude I'm still wondering why you're telling me this? xD

Oh those are pretty cool. x) Thank you very much for doing that! Sorry I've just been away from the net building my computer. x)
8 gigs RAM at 12800 which is the bottleneck, Hexcore AMD processor at 3.5 gHz, high end GDDR5 graphics card, 600 Watts, and an SSD with 120 Gigs
If you didn't like pictures you can just say so. I wouldn't be offended.
I never got any reply on the designs I made for you.
I'm surprised how quickly I finished these. So feel free to pick one or if there are any aspects of one of the designs that you would like on another or if you would like a completey different design from the ones shown.
Oh sorry! I didn't realize you sent them! I didn't get that pingy thing. I like this one a lot.
Oh, good brilliant I'll get started on the digital version as soon as I can. I just need to get a few things out of the way first. Massive hail storm just hit and I have to clean up the aftermath.
Knowing what colour you want on the design saves me a lot of time.
Orange and blue with a bit of low saturated neon green in there.
Just remembered. Do you want it coloured? If so what colours? Do you want it black on white, white on black or the colour of your character with a background colour that is compliments blue and orange?
Serves us right for having palm trees in theback yard.
