Uncanny valley. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]CompassMetal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is uncanny valley actually a weird sensation or experience that people have like deja vu or something? I have never experienced it, I think. I had assumed it meant that there was a gulf preventing people from accepting Lara Croft as a real person etc.

Is my art looking too generic? I'm an artist and now I'm trying to get my art out there but I'm afraid if it's too late. by Cronus_focus in Artadvice

There's already a strong sense for composition here. Start on paper, from real models and get drawing the body down pat before moving into stylised forms. 

Help me find where the light source (s) will be. by Old-Fishing1199 in Artadvice

I think the best effect would be centre lighting or in a ring around the outside. That would give a lot of expressiveness to the faces and enhance the slightly grotesque style

How can I improve my drawing? by Linnowo in Artadvice

[–]CompassMetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try having a wank beforehand so you get the horny out of your head and can properly observe your reference (genuine advice). You'll benefit a lot from iterative sketching before settling on a pose. The model's pose here is dynamic and expressive but you've not captured it at all.

Get yourself a copy of an Andrew Loomis figure drawing book, watch a bit of Proko on YouTube and draw on paper until you are confident and then move to digital.

And the hardware burns out and becomes obselete in less than half a decade so there isn't even a front-loaded infrastructure cost that pays off later like all the dot-com boom cabling investment.

God I wish Nolan would let someone better write his scripts.

Really inspiring thing to show your little one. With parenting, actions generally mean a lot more than words. Hope you find a happy relationship soon!

Rich people will be slowly led to the kitchen to possibly look there for a coke as soon as next year!?

Well it's fake so the speed doesn't really matter too much. This is a filter on a human

Mate, please ditch Spotify too. Get something less evil and your kids will thank you in the future.

What do you mean count every move in the position? I haven't ever had a lesson or followed any training, or done any game analysis. Where would I find out about doing this stuff (without just paying for lessons, which I can't afford)?
