it's horrible because people suspect he had an undiagnosed infection or possibly even cancer but he couldn't do anything to treat it because they wanted several thousand buckaroonies from him.


Fuck you give me money!

For digital, I use my left hand. And for traditional art, I use my right.

Righty


I suspect how people use internet forums has changed since I started using them.


I had a look through the last few pages of the previous Art Forum Lounge and while the activity is dropping off, there is some semblance of a dialogue that can develop.


Telling people what arm you use just seems like a lot of people broadcasting to others a minor detail about themselves. It’s not a conversation starter.

Turkey, I've been wondering lately, what hand do you use to open cupboards above shoulder height with? And how do you think that affects your interpersonal relationships?

Anything accomplished above shoulder height is more effectively completed with your mouth.

I don’t know that the “FURRY DIED” jokes are appropriate, the reason he died is actually pretty horrific. He either had a rare infection or lung cancer, apparently the worst his doctors had seen, and he just couldn’t get the help he needed as bills piled up. Was up coughing for hours and might have passed alone.

I don't know about you all but I haven't been in the mood to do anything lately, be it gaming or drawing. I wish I could pinpoint the exact reason why but can't think of anything.

-Broke the thing in half in a fit of autistic rage

-Covered in bitemarks, especially that gross-looking bit

-Guard bit near the nib part is missing

-Covered in stains of dried superglue

-Both buttons are unclickable due to superglue getting inside


Well it's a one for the money, two for the show, three to get a ready now go cat go!

What really constitutes as "sameface" or "samebody" or whatever else? The way I'm seeing it, and I should be seeing this differently, is that if two characters have as much as a single trait in common, it's by definite sameface/samebody/same exact character. How do you fix this mentality and know for sure when something is being repeated?

Crunchy outside with a tender warm inside. I'd consider this treat as dangerous

You really just gotta sit down and create some design rules for your recurring characters. Eye, nose and mouth shapes can vary significantly without breaking a single unifying style, so if you're just consistent giving one character stuff like bigger tear ducts, flatter lips, a more visible nose bridge, etc. that other characters don't share, you'll avoid any justified accusations. Having those rules will make you more mindful of how many ways there are to draw any given feature, and you'll likely not accidentally give two characters the same face often.


A good test of this is to draw your characters side by side in the same outfit and give them all buzz cuts. Is there enough to differentiate between them when their accessories, hairstyles and costumes aren't a factor?

Can't say anything about Elephant ears, I'm not familiar with them unfortunately. I can definitely vouch for team Churro
