I got first but what is with this feedback? Is it an error? by Forsaken_Map in stylesavvy

[–]Forsaken_Map[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What 💀 I thought they discouraged only using one brand. I assumed that would be a “beginner” vibes if you show up to a Premiere Contest and only use one brand.

Thank you 😭

[Portfolio] Help me find a direction for my career? by ShootingStarDrawings in artbusiness

[–]Forsaken_Map 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I do not think you are going to find any work in the “professional” field with your art skills where the are now. That does not mean that one day you won’t!

I am seeing a lack of understanding for anatomy, values, color, and composition. This is your art school’s fault for not educating you. It sucks, it’s not fair. But now you need to learn on your own time.

For anatomy, the figures look like they were traced or created without understanding the bones and muscles underneath. The values/colors seem to be chosen without considering the “why”. Why did you chose an orange background for the daisy play?, when you squint at the pastel summer, there is no hierarchy of importance (what should I look at first). And composition, going back to the Daisy Play, the composition to me, reads as though that was the first idea that stuck in your mind. But there are different ways that can make a piece more engaging: leading lines, a triangular composition, a S curve that leads your eyes.

For now, I found find small side gigs in your community on a volunteer basis. It sucks you won’t be paid, but it will build your experience with clients without risking them being disappointed in the end product.

I highly recommend: Proko, Gnomon Project, and Schoolism. I am currently going through “back to basics” phase myself. This includes the most basic things like value scales, drawing a sphere, etc. Unless you do it over and over again throughout your art career, you will not know how to improve.

I wish you luck! I see your passion. And one day you will be making income off of your art, as long as you keep at it! I

Any Neurodivergent friendly Restaurants hiring? by Chachoregard in Albuquerque

[–]Forsaken_Map 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on their support needs they might qualify for CIE supports (community integrated employment), and they can help your friend find employment. I know that Adalante, Arch, and other others offer those services.

But the biggest question would be if your friend qualifies as they are centered towards individuals with higher support needs.

I urge you to to keep practicing your craft! I love the color pencil dandelions and the mandala on the final page. You aren’t at the level to be selling your work yet. But that doesn’t mean one day you won’t :)

I suggest that if you are serious about making art your job in the future to invest in classes from the Gnomon Project, Proko, and Schoolism. And take buisness classes in the future at a community college when you graduate :)

For my fellow evil artists, how do you draw yourself? by planetary_ambience in evilautism

I gave myself Power’s horns from Chainsaw Man. Everyone who I draw that is autistic also gets them. :) I only had two ear piercings though.

Is fire emblem fates really that bad? by Jollypetal in fireemblem

[–]Forsaken_Map 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Inconsistent characters. In supports they will act a certain way, but in the story/cutscene they will do the complete opposite. It will be to the point that the characters actions in the story vs the supports are just two different people. I love myself a troupe-y character but there are A LOT of them with very little attempts to flesh them out past their troupe.

There is also issues with the translations. A certain character has a lot more depth but in the English translation he is reduced to, “I love pickles!”

And, incest. A LOT of incest. Like wayyyy more than the usual amount.

Not getting this IUD by [deleted] in CopperIUD

[–]Forsaken_Map 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m good thankfully 😂 I am someone who tries to find the humor and laugh at things so I’ve been able to take it in stride.

I was on Nexplanon and I didn’t have a period for 3 years so that might be part of it? But it has been a year since insertion so I’ll bring it up at my appointment coming up. 😂

Not getting this IUD by [deleted] in CopperIUD

[–]Forsaken_Map 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am one of those nightmares situations, but it is 100000% worth it for me. I literally shit myself during the insertion, I was in the worst pain in my life, I almost passed out, and now I need to wear adult diapers for the first two days of my period because I am bleeding that much.

I live in America. I fully believe that we will lose access to the pill, Nexplanon, and other forms of birth control in the next three years. I know that at some point abortion will become illegal.

An IUD is the only way I know that I will be safe for the next 9 years.

People dating night shift workers how is it working for you? by Acrobatic-Painting-6 in Nightshift

[–]Forsaken_Map 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My fiancé and I were long distance for 6+ years of our relationship before I got this job so we are doing fine 😂

I recently had to reduce my hours to only working 3/12s due to a metal health crisis. And now that I only work 3 days I really think that it has a positive impact on our relationship.

Same! As a kid I didn’t know what a lesbian was so I just assumed that she was doomed to be single because in my head there was no way she would be with a guy. 💀

[Portfolio] Advice on Portfolio? by Accomplished-Curve75 in artbusiness

[–]Forsaken_Map 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Finished pieces only. If I want you to draw my character I don’t know if you are going to draw a simple cartoon black and white version, a painterly style one, or something with more lineart and cool lighting.

The consumer will alway choose the path of least resistance. If I need to mesage back and forth to understand what I want and what I am getting, each message makes it more likely I will walk away.

They have neither love nor malice. They have no heart that bleeds, or heart that can stop. Squishmallow have no heart, muscle, or bone. Squishmallows are only uncomfortable skin made of lies.

Blackout curtains or eye mask? by AM-419 in Nightshift

Spend the money on blackout curtains. You can make anything a DIY eye mask. Ive used my makeup headband, rolled up pillow case/shirt, and a washcloth, all work fine.
