Oh god yeah lmao, I'm starting to feel that. I have absolutely zero experience in this field too so I'm one of the unlucky students who has to put in extra hours of work to grasp the material. My partner is in a full computer science program and I don't envy his workload at all. I'm trying to t…
Yeah that's the thing, I'm so envious of the 9-5ers because I'm working after school right into the night sometimes. My program is heavily group focused and I am working with a lot of younger students who prefer to do all their work right at the last second, so everything is always rushed too. I've …
I expected to shelve a lot of my art and writing while in college to focus but I'm more stressed about what's become a sheer lack of interest even on breaks. For anyone who's gone to college, was this pretty typical of the experience? I find myself so tired that even drawing feels like work and I ju…
My favourite go-to example for this is action related. When you have a protagonist who is taking on a massive gang of bad guys and even though the protag is just absolutely face rolling the gang with little to no effort, the gang never has any sense of life preservation or comraderie. It's very we…
[image] This was a couple years back but I had signed a contract at the time to not release the work done because this portrait was for a kickstarter reward for Attic Door Media's Incident Report comic. Was tasked with illustrating a magazine cover page for one of their characters who hadn't been …
What's the general breadth of knowledge and skills a nurse is epxected to have, vs a doctor? It's something I've always been curious about and I happen to have two characters where it's a magical world but I wanted to base their knowledge/ expertise on these two professions. One can heal simpler wou…
In my pre-electricial apprentice class, I remember the master electrician recounting stories where he'd just grab a plank of wood and had to smack people away who were being shocked from an electrical contact. It can cause your muscles to contract and tighten into a fist, so to save someone you woul…

Just want some opinions. I'm about 5 years older than when I was super active on my social media. A lot has changed since then and I'm no longer the same person. I'm undecided where a restart is in order. I could keep my old accounts, I have no problem continuing those, I'm not trying to run from an…
ignore (/10 characters) Can you link it?
Is that a sentient bag? xD
Sorry I tend to disappear from Tapas for periods at a time. I do commissions between school semesters, next break is 15th August - Sept 4th.
My brain associates their words with their writing style. I am likely to not be interested in the works of those who jump to conclusions, act passive aggressive etc because if they can't slow down at least try understand other world views, I can only assume they write themselves into every charact…
Played with the white light style with my FFXIV character. [image]
I'm wondering if you're liking how the colour was used in conjunction with others moreso than just the single colour by itself. I have Pinterest boards where I collect colour palettes usually in the form of photos if I see one with a really nice scheme I like. I don't take directly from artwork, but…
Seconding this, this is big. I was totally caught off guard by the stark difference in quality of my illustrations vs comic panels when I tried my first page ever lol.
You don't need validation for your skill level. Any point is a good place to start, you'll naturally just improve as you go. Comics especially are a really good workout for artistic skills because they force you to combine a lot of elements in one image. You just need a story, something you ideally …
I've not been drawing a lot, busy with school and moving. This was from Jan. Void elf from WoW. [image]
Thank you! None of that is meant to be animated, it's just the portfolio requirements to be accepted into the course. Draw 2 figures, 2 hands, 2 inanimate objects, 2 personal works and 2 background interiors of the same room from two different perspectives. Unfortunately there's not a lot of schools…
Oh wow no I didn't mean it like that, I was just pointing out it can be a force of habit. Like in my case it wasn't the brightest thing to do, but I have them recorded giving a highly illegal response if I ever need to prove it in court for any reason.
You know, you jest, but I actually did say that not too long ago to my ex when he was having one of his angry outbursts and I have both him and his mother recorded (was on a call to a friend who knew to record this stuff when it happens) threatening me to not call the police.
Thanks, that's solid advice! I'm in Canada actually, but l can poke around. I know I went to an immigration lawyer once for a free consultation so there should be some IP ones around in the wild somewhere.
I mean, I work at McDonalds, I definitely can't afford an attorney. LOL. I don't mind the idea of carving up a contract and even keeping some of his work but even when we worked on it together he had massive ego issues about who gets credit for what and would routinely put me down for my contributio…
I'm facing this situation right now. I'm breaking up with the person who I was co-writing with. The story I was working on was originally mine, though he did make substantial contributions to, never wanted to continue it while we were still together anyway. So it's permanently in limbo and while he s…
As someone with an "unusual" name myself, I'm bored of always seeing the same ones in fiction. Especially given that mine isn't actually unusual or foreign to English speakers, it just takes more digging on a baby names list to find. While the advice is also pointed towards a western audience, we…
Are they going to pay me to not enjoy my free time?
When FFXIV remixed Titan's theme for E4 raid in Shadowbringers.
But also keep and treasure it! Old artwork is a very important timeline to look back on with pride, because it's the only reason that you are where you are today.
Shortcuts are time saving tools for professionals, but can be permanent training wheels for hobbyists. This is one where you need to be completely honest with yourself. To add on to: Tracing characters and backgrounds can only take someone so far - and 'far' for someone who doesn't understan…
