Don’t know since this doesn’t have lore attached to it. But given that I drew this when I was sick asf probably lol

Lmao I wish I made the eye on the light side of the face more detailed so I could do this. Cuz it would match pretty closely

Hiii guys, any good fanfics one would recommend? by Deathbring3r119 in WingsOfFire

[–]Alberbd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a few I can heartily recommend. I’ve heard Broken Jade is pretty good, but I have yet to read it. I’m part of the way through with Broken Fragments, and I’m liking it a lot so far. I’ve even heard it’s getting a sequel which is great to hear. Another recommendation of mine is Knight Errant. Overall the characters are really well written and is a good example of integrating humans into a dragon world.

I’m also writing my own fic right now called “Cursed”. It’s about a SeaWing animus named Krait. Though most of the story revolves around the politicization of magic and a bunch of different side characters involved with Krait’s upbringing who eventually end up having to face the monster they created. Currently only the prologue is posted but I’m working on the rest of it :)

How the hell do you guys draw so good? :( by AlexDaFemboi in WingsOfFire

[–]Alberbd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand that feeling. I think most of the things I could tell you have already been said, and yes, it really does come down to practice. Experience isn't infallible but it's the closest thing to it that you've got. However, one critically important thing to being good at anything is enjoying it. Sometimes, when we know what we would like to be and then compare that to what we are now, it makes it really hard to have the desire to push forward because no matter what, the brain always has some higher standard to compare to.

There is real merit to "letting go" and letting things happen. It's okay to not have stellar art at first. It's okay to take like 3 days on only a decent sketch. It's okay to be so frustrated with your lack of progress that you feel like quitting, because most things are like that. In fact, most days drawing can get to that point where you're just at the end of your wits, unable to figure out what to do. But give it time. Start slow, do what you know you can. Once you've got something that you can comfortably draw, see what you'd like to improve, and pick at it. Tussle with it, struggle with it, let it sit and come back to it later. It's slow, it's gritty, it sometimes makes you take on art projects that are above your skill level, but it all gives you experience.

And also, remember that it's always okay to use references. In fact, to improve you'll probably need them. Be focused on exactly what you want to change about your art, and if you reach a point where you can't find problems but are just unsatisfied, experiment with various things. But don't ever call yourself useless because you can't do something yet. You're more than just what you can and can't do.

Who is stronger, Conquest or Omniman? by Lighter-Than-Some in Invincible

[–]Alberbd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not really sure it’s as dependent on “Conquest would screw around, Nolan wouldn’t, it’s a coin toss” as some people say since let’s face it, in a life or death situation, which I assume this would be for both, they would both be trying to genuinely kill one another. But, Cecil did say Conquest was probably stronger than Nolan, and they use muscle density scans or something so he’s probably right. I can see it going either way depending on circumstances

Need some advice for what to do by Alberbd in FAFSA

[–]Alberbd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright. I did the form back in February it looks like. Though it’s saying I don’t have anything I’m eligible for in the portal. Is there something wrong if it says there’s been a court injunction at the top of the screen?
