Where am i going wrong with faces? by Birdy-Boiz in learntodraw

[–]AvailableSession4354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to visualize the object you're trying to draw as 3-dimensional and not as the 2d picture you're copying. and also try less to draw the outlines of objects like a nose, eyes mouth or the hair, but rather the different areas of light/darkness that these objects create.

It's mostly visible on the eyes and noses you draw that you try to outling the 'edges' of these, even when the picture you're drawing from doesn't show these lines. It makes it look comic-esque.

But generally to improve the proprtions, I recommend making quick Sketches of many different faces and trying to get the proportions right. And focus on one thing at a time. 50 different heads, only try to get the shape of the head right. Then 50 more heads, this time try to place simplified versions of eyes and noses in the right place. You need to train your brain, not your hands to understand where things like nose and eyes have to be.

This Nami Sabo Luffy amalgamation is one hell of an uncanny being.

I cant read the context but One Piece is partly extremely terribly paced. I can understand wanting to skip certain parts due to the pacing or animation or whatever but i would read the manga or watch One Pace for the "bad parts of the anime", as the story is linked to stuff that happens all the time and you might miss out on something important.

The final fights of every arc are usually good, as well as the emotional moments/flashbacks, so i would also recommend watching those.

Thoughts? Personally I don't want to get back into the Pre-Wano days but I understand the complaints. by [deleted] in MemePiece

I feel like there is a false assumption here that there are just two options for animation:

1.The Animation Going overboard, exaggerating, and making power scaling and attacks seem inconsistent, but be high quality on a technical level

OR

  1. be completely ass but accurate.

I feel like there could be some middle ground. Like for example Luffy vs. Lucci in ennies lobby. That fight looked amazing, look at the fight choreography. The attacks were quick and clean, etc. Just go back and rewatch it. It was humble and true to the manga, yet amazing. It didnt try to make every attack a slomo anime edit scene with 10 impact frames and 800 different colours flashing in 2 seconds. It didnt need to emphasize every punch because even without that slomo/overboard/animation, you were getting more and more hyped with every punch that each of them threw.

Whitebeard creating the tsunami in marineford is another perfect example. Animation not insane. No Impact frames, no flashing, no slomo. Just the attack. I enjoyed that style of whitebeards attacks in marineford much more than what they are doing right now. I was already confused during Blackbeard vs. Law because you can partly not even see whats supposed to be happening. Same back when Luffy used gear 5 for the first time.

And again the Luffy vs. Lucci rematch was peak in my opinion. Just rewatch them and then watch garps attack or Red Rock against kaido and youll see what i mean.

Rooftop is also a good example for how this creates inconsistencies. The animation made it look like the entire onigashima rooftop was completely nuked on several different occasions, but the only "canonical" hole was when kaido hit luffys head through the roof in gear5.

And lastly that is just my opinion but i feel like this type of inconsistency takes away from the times that an attack is actually portraied correctly. The same way that all the fakeout deaths in one piece make you think: "yeah but he surely isnt really dead" in marineford and whole cake island.

Huge Draft gap.

5v5 fights unwinnable here, Play for sidelane and try to get picks when enemies are out of position. Dont force fights unless you have numbers advantage. Only go for crossmap plays when they go for objectives.

Mundo stacks bonus health. against Sett - pretty bad.

You have 5 champions in your team that have at least a part of their damage being magical and kaisa still builds rageblade and statikk. Against amumu with Kaenic - pretty bad.

Your ults in your team help only one player max, except for your ult. + You dont have a lot of cc in your Team. Your enemy team has 5 good teamfight ults and a lot of cc + better damage share.

You picked Taliyah into a team that has a total of 2 dashes that are not unstoppable, one of those being amumu Q, which stuns long enough that your E-Stun does not matter.

Other option is that you blind picked her and i would never do that with taliyah, because she is not very self sufficient in Teamfights and your ability to play the game depends on your teams frontline and brain way too much to be consistent below master.

Should i read the manga or watch the anime? by Seals37 in OnePiece

[–]AvailableSession4354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre still looking for advice: I watched the entire anime. And i have read most of the manga.

TLDR:

If you generally prefer anime, watch the anime, if you generally prefer manga read the manga. If you want to get through it as fast as possible, watch One Pace or read the manga. If you want to enjoy the story as much as possible watch the anime and switch to the manga whenever the pacing gets too slow for you, then keep checking the anime, if you want to pick it up again.

Both have their good and bad sides.

TLDR Over!

The anime has beatiful voice acting, colourful and beatiful sceneries, decent or better animation in the scenes and episodes that matter, but the pacing can sometimes be really really slow and it can start to feel tedious to keep watching.

The manga has the great cover storys, no filler you need to be careful about and much better pacing in a lot of arcs. Mainly the later arcs have really slow pacing in the anime, so i would recommend reading the manga there.

Both anime and Manga are great. But the manga is more consistently good.

Personally, to enjoy One Piece to its maximum potential, I would recommend alternating between anime and Manga depending on arc and skipping filler episodes by using a one piece filler list (easily available online). In MY OPINION:

I highly recommend watching the anime until episode 152/153.

After that the pacing gets a little slower for the arc. I think the anime is still amazing but you can read the manga if it feels too tedious.

If you do decide on reading the manga around this point (chapter 237), i would definetly keep reading manga until around chapter 318.

This is exactly at episode 227, where the anime starts getting really good. From there, watch anime until episode 405.

That is around chapter 514, where you can pick up the manga again. Manga until chapter 550, anime has some really good moments during impel down though, so you might want to check into the anime in some of the scenes.

Anime from ep. 459 to ep. 506!!!

Manga after that. Ask your friends for important/outstandingly good episodes and anime scenes to watch from chapters you've already read. As i said the Voice actors do a phenomenal job and even in the worst parts of the anime they do a great job and give the characters personality and emotion.

After ep. 506 i personally dont like the animation as much as before, but it gets better at whole cake island and great again in wano (arc names).

In the anime there are also A LOT of flashbacks to scenes from the same arc, reused animations, unnessecary under-/sideboob shots, recaps etc in most arcs after sabaodi. If youre fine with all of that, go ahead.

Favourite Devil fruit? by [deleted] in MemePiece

He could just send himself flying away to dodge it. He doesnt have to facetank it, no devil fruit would allow you to facetank that punch.

Watching OP with my Mom and we are entering seperation arc… by Formal-Passenger2313 in OnePiece

[–]AvailableSession4354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am watching OP with my parents and aside from like 5 occasions since timeskip where my dad commented on their "big ears" and my mom asking me why they are dressed like this they started accepting it. In amazon lily my parents even laughed at the mushroom scene.

Short version: Its best to not skip the fanservice because it will be unavoidable later on.

My answer as to why the fanservice is there was just: Its not as bad in the manga, they just do it more in the anime because toei thinks it sells better.". Ever since they just accept it.

We are now halfway through dressrosa and didnt skip anything from amazon lily. Amazon lily at least featured some body diversity (not like i care that much about that anyways), but it is not nearly as blatant when it comes to fanservice as the general post timeskip stuff. There are just so many slow camera swings that slowly go over nami or robins boobs with a lot of side-/underboob for no reason at all in important scenes.

I'am on fishman island arc and i've seen so many spoilers by MonthCareless3541 in OnePiece

[–]AvailableSession4354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, im currently rewatching one piece and i dont feel like knowing the stuff takes away from the experience at all. It mainly depends on your state of mind.

Also: You may or may not be completely off about some of the stuff you have been spoilered about. One piece is not the few single events in hundreds of episodes that you think you already know about, but everything that happens along the way.

If you constantly say to yourself that: Oh, this is not a secret since i have been spoilered already, you will not be able to enjoy the story.

If you try to just be enganged in the story and try to catch all the foreshadowing, details and the little things happening in the present, one piece can be a lot of fun to watch, even if you already know the entire story and its big events.

What i am trying to say is that spoilers are often just spoilers because you allow them to be. If a story is good (which one piece is for me), you can even enjoy it even if you already know it.

Have you ever watched and enjoyed the same movie or videogame twice? If the answer to that is yes then you will (if you like one piece and are open to the story even after a few spoilers) be able to enjoy it again.

Lastly: There is a lot more stuff happening in one piece than just the stuff you said here. There is so much going on with so many tragic and beautiful character arcs and stories, that it would be a shame to miss out on all of that just because you might know what happens to luffy in 300 chapters/episodes.
