We're encoding the links to keep bots and scripts from recognizing them as URLs and harvesting/reporting them. Some of the encoded links *may* have multiple layers - like ogres ... or onions! You might have to "peel" them more than once to get to the good part.

Support each other and talk about your work or the work of others that excites you. Inking, character design, paneling / layout, writing, planning, and other discussions are all welcome.
Post resources, questions, in-progress pages, breakdowns of other works, etc. If a work is not yours, credit the maker (unless it's fucking obvious like a full page of One Piece or something).
Thanks to everyone for making /mmg/ a level-headed and helpful place. Remember, drawing and making comics and manga are difficult endeavors, and we're all in this struggle together.

>And in Art, study can never stop. You will find sketches galore in the studio of the good man, with the paint quite fresh. The mediocre artist's sketches are old and dusty.
>I have seen so many middle-aged artists still hoping, whose samples are frayed at the edges, and thumb-marked with time. Sometimes it has been a matter of years since they sat down and actually did something to give their hopes any promise. They are plodding their lives away at something they hate, and doing nothing about it. These are the men who never seem to have had a chance. The truth is, they never seized a chance.

-Please check for the CSP assets you want to request or buy here first before asking for it in the thread.
>CSP assets store wishlist.
https://rentry.org/Brush_Wishlist
>"What brush does this artist use?" / "What brush looks like this?"
1.)Search "brush (from:artisthandle)" or "assets.clip-studio.com (from:artisthandle)" on twitter if that's where they post mainly. Make sure to set it to the Latest tab to see the artist's tweets. Or use Nitter.
2.)Search brush posts on their Pixiv Fanboxes/Booth/Patreon. Then try to see if it's on kemono or archives.
3.)If none of the searches work, then ask here.
>"My CSP is cracked so I can't use the asset store"
As long as you log into the asset store it works even on cracked copies.
>"Are there other brush sets aside from the CSP ones?" / "Has this brush set been uploaded before?"
Check the archive. Chances are if it's popular some anon has uploaded it already.

1. Manmade objects, vehicles, tool, weapons etc. (of any kind and any historical era, as long as they fall in the ballpark of "technology") and fictional derivatives of such
2. Objects,vehicles, creatures etc. that aesthetically fall into the visual space of mecha/robot/artificial/cybernetics etc. regardless of level of realism.
Helpful to mention the level of realism, if any, you are taking into account in the art.

Why are YT artists like this? Can the online art community be saved?
Special question for US based d/ic/ks: What are your plans for next year when the tariffs increase? Are you stocking up on anything or will it not effect you so much?
After 5 years I'm only low int/high beg. I'm getting a bit depressed by the fact, but maybe its more normal than expected?
like for rotation or scrolling around?
What's your excuse, anon?
For me it'll be, Cour de dessin (Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérome) because it helped many old painter that I like to do art (like Van Gogh) and I learn by mimicry and copying (=/= tracing).
Is there any difference between copying a portrait from a photo and working with the live model? I don't think so. Both are COPYING.
I think artists are supposed to create things, not imitate them. I think this all began with the impressionists and their fetish from painting out in nature. I feel like the ability to create a figurative painting is only alive with video game and digital artists who study drawing enough to enable them to create anything they want out of their heads.
For years I felt like all I should do is work from life, set my still life arrangement and paint or use a photograph, that my job as an artist was to simply copy reality and I always hated it. Perhaps I'll give it a chance to studying drawing once more and begin creating my paintings from my head even if they suck.
What do you all think?

Avoid:
>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand making Wacom imitations
Poor build quality, pens with wavy lines, wobbly nibs, broken tilt, issues registering light pressure, terrible customer support, uncalibrated displays. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are.
Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 10 years, nothing has changed.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. You will see dozens upon dozens of posts in this thread by a chinese schizo shill, who will either be bitching about the OP, gaslighting as a Wacom fan, making pointless spam posts or giving terrible advice (like recommending Huion). Just ignore and report him.
>New iPads
Massively overpriced and overhyped.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
More optimized for palm rejection than good quality drawing. Wobbly lines when drawing slow and straight.
>Cintiq 13-16"

>Cintiq Pro 16, 24, 32
Overpriced, QC issues, loud fans, proprietary mount interface

>a good rule to follow for composition is making whatever you need to keep the viewer's eyes on my painting for as long as I can and not on your painting on their painting so i'll manipulate light, angles, the stare (someone looking directly at you), anything I can do to keep you looking at my painting, all other fundies and techniques are to control the viewers eyes

1. Don't post too revealing works (especially porn). If you think it's too lewd, post a censored copy here and link to Catbox (https://catbox.moe/)) or any off-site that hosts images for your works. You may also link back to /b/.
2. Keep it to 2D Anime/Cartoon characters only. Do not post chiId photo references (legal or otherwise), and do not talk about issues regarding real children.
3. It is recommended to let the thread reach page 6-7 before starting a new one. Use archived(moe) or warosu to retrieve the old threads.

I think the reason my lineart in Krita was so dogshit and shaky/wobbly is because my laptop is incredibly weak and laggy, causing Krita to render stuff at like under 20 FPS. With Procreate, it is SMOOTH. Like, its probably over 60 FPS its amazing

Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often post paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.
Recommended tablets:
>Screenless:
Used Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom
>Display:
Small (10-11"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

Avoid:
>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand making Wacom imitations
Poor build quality, pens with wavy lines, wobbly nibs, broken tilt, issues registering light pressure, terrible customer support, uncalibrated displays. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are.
Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 10 years, nothing has changed.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. You will see dozens upon dozens of posts in this thread by a chinese schizo shill, who will either be bitching about the OP, gaslighting as a Wacom fan, making pointless spam posts or giving terrible advice (like recommending Huion). Just ignore and report him.
>New iPads
Massively overpriced and overhyped.
>Microsoft Surface Pro
More optimized for palm rejection than good quality drawing. Wobbly lines when drawing slow and straight.
>Cintiq 13-16"
Completely outclassed by the Galaxy Tab Ultra & iPad
>Cintiq Pro 16, 24, 32
Overpriced, QC issues, loud fans, proprietary mount interface
>Lenovo
Worse than Samsung in every way.

To me it seems as if using references is always good. If you have an image which could help you realize an idea, then you should use it. However you also have to bve able to create without reference, which can be difficult, because there is a huge discrepancy in how a drawing will look with or without refs..

Its far from done though. Just wish I could get feedback on it before I approach the deep end.
How would you guys set up making a comic that covers all your bases?
Is being a part time nsfw furry artist worth the money ? From what I saw, you could draw a sexy furry stick man or a ransom bara/ femboy with weird fetish and furries would want to buy it for 1000$ and more. Plus furries are able to pay a lot even tho their living in a shit place.
What should I know before being a furry artist for the money ?
Happy holidays btw

The plots an occult detective story,
"In turn of the century Australia, a young nihilistic detective is called to a drying gold town, to investigate a series local livestock thefts, with some being found sacrificed in the forest. He meets a local squatters, mysterious anti natalist daughter (squatters being landowners), who joins the investigation.
Their arc involves them encountering demonic, silent hill type events, which teach them of the existence of true evil, and if their is true evil, then their must also be true/divine good that we can aspire to reach."
Love any critiques on the art, as well as the story. I know that first off, my faces could use work, and probably my figures too.
I think Ill keep doing master studies of comics, but Im debating whether or not I should make some shorter one shot comics, and maybe try and get them published in some indie anthology publishers Ive met at conventions.
Basically critique me, and tell me if work like this is good enough to self publish, or if I should go back to master studies for a good while
>ZERO fundies studies.
>Zero observation skills
>Zero Master copies.
At best they will steal or half ass a picture of the anime/cartoon they like to plagiarize it thats it. Do your fundies, do your studies and you will be fine. Evil people are trying to demotivate you.
either way hopefully this inspires someone in a slump or someone looking to improve their overall skills. happy arting!
My most recent work is this one, took me 37 hours. Will prob. work more on it the next days.
(I don't have the old thread copypasta anymore and I'm too lazy to look for the archive)
My Dad also was diagnosticated with Cataracts today and I can't even afford his treatment much less my own. I'm terrified of the idea of loosing my eyes..
Is there more anons here with eyesight problems to share?, I'm really sorry if this is offtopic in any way but I need to cope with this fucking feeling.
Also, a thread about health and prevention, I don't think it's bad from time to time. We take it for granted that we will be healthy for the rest of our lives but hey, I'm only 28 years old and I already feel like my world is going to shit, maybe I should take care of you.
Once again, and for the last time under the role of GM, I wanted to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who participated and/or contributed to make this happen. I like to think, and I think most of you will agree, that this was the best version to date. With that said, I retire from the Gamemaster role, hang up my magic hat and wish the Council the best of luck from now on...because crabs, they never read...and they never end.

Previous Thread: >>7208201
I'm an artist that works with traditional and i want to have traction in the internet doing the things i like.
I have many, but one of them is about cake (if you know, you know, unsure if this board accepts saying that word). This is an issue because I live with relatives and they might find them eventually and a big problem would happen.
To solve this issue, I came up with the idea of doing safe for works about that, but with some suggestive elements just to express my hidden interest on nsfw cake stuff. But here comes the second issue, which is that the few audience I have as well as the artists i'm in contact might found I'm into that and a big problem would happen as well.
So I'm between two worlds because I'm questioning if this is ok or not. Maybe i should move the safer cake works to my main socials and the questionable ones for, idk, baraag and pixiv?
I'm unsure about this. Can anyone help me with this please?
Looking for clones or similar brushes.
I've asked in the dbag thread and looked around on clip studio shop and none of the brushes are even close.
They all seem to be either too tight and sharp, or too loose and messy. Nothing like this that i could find. Would greatly appreciate any help in how to make or find a clone for this brush.
Also, prefer to have similar texture as well.

>Our tools are made to empowers artists

Literally fucking niggers your watermarks. I'm so sick of this shit. Just a week ago we had a thread asking why artists put watermarks on their drawing and there were a lot of responses saying it was to stop theft. Yet here we are. The niggers niggering once more. It's not even dubious at this point, it's overtly stealing. Before even though it was clearly stealing they could claim innocence to some degree, at this point this shit is criminal. People don't place watermarks on photos as some quirky little thing. It's supposed to protect intellectual property until you've been paid. I used to send clients watermarked photos as proof of product before accept payment, now? What if one of those fuckers is a little nigger that will just magically remove the watermark? Glaze/Nightshade needs to implement a watermark feature into their tool. This is nonsense.

With that in mind, should i buy either of these humble bundles? Better question, do you think that i need Paintstorm or Corel Painter 2023 (latest version) to be able to easily mimic these coloring/painting styles? Or would Clip Studio be enough with some downloaded brushes?
I heard that other apps like Corel Painter have better grasp at realism in brushes, but i'm unsure if i would need that in my coloring or if the emulation from CSP would be enough.
Note: It's not, this scene was animated by an exceptionally talented animator Masahiro Ando who later directed Sword of the Stranger.

Why aren't YOU getting in the fine art world, /ic/? Surely some of you can do better than this.
I've been trying to understand panelling in comic art and I notice that comics and manga have different approaches to it. But I can't pinpoint exactly what is going on.
