because you cannot steal them some people just like designing really shallow shit they can paste into their next romance rp and do the diddle with "sexy cute" characters
[QUOTE=Eric95;46297989]what's the point of having characters if they aren't part of a specific work, story, or even universe just characters you draw and say "this is my character and she's this kind of person" and pay people $60 for commissions of i don't understand, is that what an OC is and why do they exist[/QUOTE] To indulge in your own fantasies obviously? It's just about "this thing is mine, I came up with that, I own the rights to it, I own it, you can't have it".
I have a regular Tumblr [URL="http://kurttho.tumblr.com/"]blog[/URL] and [URL="http://kurtfitzgerald.tumblr.com/"]another one[/URL] I use as a portfolio.

It's no fun drawing a character without thinking up any kind of backstory to them. Maybe you've got some kind of story in your head but don't have time to commit to a full comic. I don't see anything wrong with it unless they're coming up with Coldsteel the hedgehog.
I started this mutant rat sketch last night when I was sick. Anyone have any ideas how I should make it creepier? I'm thinking repeated holes or tumors. Working on the head at the moment [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/4zgzUXT.png[/IMG_thumb]
Thinner limbs with knobby joints Darker lighting Better pose Holes and tumours might work too.
[QUOTE=Krinkels;46298961]Thinner limbs with knobby joints Darker lighting Better pose Holes and tumours might work too.[/QUOTE] Thanks, I'm still sick so I've lost all ability to design haha. That helped

I can't seen to find something specific to focus on like most people can, and it's so unbelievably frustrating. Sorry for the rant...
Happy Halloween CWTDDAT! (Maybe a bit early but whatever) [IMG]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/295/e/e/invaders_by_saintbonkers-d83qy2j.png[/IMG] Made with 8 colours EDIT: Dammit why does facepunch always shrink my pixelart just a tiny bit so that it looses it's crisp.
Decided to give that digitaltutors site a go. [t]http://i.imgur.com/NsRbxpx.jpg[/t] I was looking at something on sketching and one of the lessons were on speedpainting [url=http://i.imgur.com/MHqUpG3.png]His looked like this[/url]

I don't have a ton of free time to work on personal projects but i'd love to get back into pixel art again and do some experiments for games and stuff like that.

Pixel-art is just my lazy approach at digital art. I remember your stuff, always loved the way you do colours. I dont know what kind of collaborations we could do, but if you have an idea or just want to discuss pixelart, dont be afraid to message me!
I have an entire running story behind my set of OCs. I'm actually planning to start a little comic, but I need to learn a lot more before I can even get started.

Anyone seen the new Huion 1060 Pro? It's got a built in card read to save your work directly on the tablet [url]http://www.amazon.com/Huion-MicroSD-Express-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00K7YWJOO[/url]

Stoa Architectural Design: I call it a Stoa but its actually a Byzantine (Eastern Roman Empire) Greek Orthodox Church that I repurposed as a barracks for use by my gryphons. Its capable of sheltering forty to fifty (40-50) indeviduals, well supplied and works all year long.

There's a built in card reader and it comes with a 4gb micro sd card so when you plug the tablet into the computer the card will show up and you can save your stuff directly on the tablet that way, and it works with cards up to 64gb. Pretty awesome idea, I think the Cintiq companion and hybrid has a built in storage device as well, but for a $85 tablet it's a pretty cool feature. I like what Huion is doing.
I'm not sure if this was appropriate to post here. I've always loved writing, though I've never really done it for much more than fun. Within the past few months however I've been getting fairly serious about wanting to publish and submit some of my stuff. I wrote this poem for a couple events I want to submit it to, and personally I'm fairly proud. I wanted to hear your guys's thoughts. [url]http://pastebin.com/vF7uNejz[/url]

[url]http://pastebin.com/vF7uNejz[/url][/QUOTE] The imagery you're working with isn't evocative or expansive enough to sustain a piece that long imo, but the main problem is the really awkward staggering. I don't know how you're reading this (or if you have read it aloud at all) but to the reader, commas mean pauses. The delivery is constant stop-starts without any sort of rhythm, and there's probably no way to fix it now short of completely rewriting the thing, so you def need to change your approach I think
So I'm gonna be starting to draw. I've made a few shitty sketches on paper and I'm hoping to get a tablet sometime this week maybe so I can make higher quality shitty sketches ( :v: ).
Frankenstein done for Sketch_Dailies. The anatomy is kind of poo but I don't mind. [IMG_thumb]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/295/6/2/frankenstein_sketch_by_imtth-d83tkqb.png[/IMG_thumb]

I'll see if there are any ways to edit it. I've read it aloud in something like an orator would at a funeral. I do agree it is a bit long and windy, though I personally feel like, save for some sentences which I will edit, that the theme of my poem would be lost without most of it.

[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;46308650]They won't be higher quality, learn on paper[/QUOTE] Was kinda joking, I'll be doing both anyways.
I have so much fucking hw right now. I have to somehow do 20 portraits in ink by next monday, 3 more pages of ink sketches, 12 observational study drawings, another painting tonight, history essay, and study for a test. Sometimes I feel I could be more productive if I would just be studying on my own and not had like 5 different assignments every week, but then I remember i'm a lazy shit and would probably just watch netflix all day [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VcgxgGo.jpg[/IMG]

I didn't change the pose in-between, so it still looks like he's coming at ya' Thoughts on this pose? I was having a lot of trouble getting both hind legs in without one looking weird. So I tried to stray away from actual rat anatomy and gave it an aggressive pose. Heavy WIP, etc [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/ZVW3DNs.png[/IMG_thumb]
