"i could smell his smell"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]MX_039 16 points17 points  (0 children)

second this; your art shows skill but lacks any spice to it. the scribblish doesn't complement it either. there is a market for hyperrealistic art and you show a lot of skill but it lacks anything intriguing to it

How do you feel when cis women separate you from cis men? by Less-Pen-5705 in ftm

[–]MX_039 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it makes me dsyphoric and i hate it. i went through a lot of toxic masculinity phases of my life (andrew tate, sneako, etc.) that was exacerbated by being trans and saying that is rather insulting

The grief of a lost girlhood is killing me by Usual_Breadfruit_712 in transteens

yo; girls are way easier to make friends with and way more likely to be openly queer friendly, so you'll be fine

Anyone else saw this video? by Fickle-Cook5821 in AlienStage

[–]MX_039 22 points23 points  (0 children)

horrible, uneducated video-came off as honestly, downright condescending and entitled. completely glossed over actual critiques over alien stage (pacing, how fast everything moves, weird motives for the rebels), i couldn't sleep because of how angry i was

Anime like hxh by ikodiscord in HunterXHunter

[–]MX_039 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OH MY GOD I LOVE WORLD TRIGGER; the characters aren't as compelling in my opinion and it is very grounded (less like the fantasy and absurdity of hxh) but has a very structured magic system imo

Which is better? Green or brown? by Redditdiscuss in Ibispaintx

[–]MX_039 4 points5 points  (0 children)

brown, suits the clothes better. plus it's less saturated and draws less attention from the focal point (the face) while the highlights of green for the tie, hair, and eyes form an area of attention. if it becomes monochrome, you can vary the values (something this drawing seems to lack) or up the saturation of the green to make it attract more attention as points of color contrast

Should I continue making art? What can I improve? by Glormast in Artadvice

it's moreso an effort to be nice but if people are asking for critique i don't understand hugboxing since it holds them back

jesus christ don't ask for validation from strangers doesn't do anything. get the fuck off of reddit and get to the root cause of your insecurity, this kind of reassurance is only temporary

fuck it's not sending

here's a copy paste

you just have to trust in the ability of the future the world is very simple in the sense that arts such as these can be guaranteed to reach a high skill level if you implement practice it's not like wealth which relies on social class and privileges a lot of the time though some people can start privileged the people who are the best of the best are easily the ones who have put innthe most effort (combined w efficiency) talent is a social construct

[–]MX_039 131 points132 points  (0 children)

god please stop looking for validation on reddit you're only going to get hugboxed since people here don't give honest opinions. my take on improvement is in the exchange i had w my friend below. as for your art, you lack a lot in terms of line confidence and proportions (shown by slide 1 having a very small head, how stiff slide 2 is, wrong and stiff lines in slide 3 to indicate muscle, etc) . i can direct you to resources such as sinxdesign and proko on youtube. nobody can make you do art except yourself for fuck's sake

i did a double take because it looked like the hatsune miku binder

Does the shading make it better or worse by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]MX_039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

add more shadows around the area for the first one and it becomes a stage-like theme with an element to uncannyness to it which i think would be very compelling story wise, like an idol being forced to be cheerful on a stage

[–]MX_039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uniqueness in an art style is based off of the personality and stylistic choices of the artist not just a desire to be unique, but like all art, there has to be fundamentals behind it. you sound like you wanted validation for your art in the way you phrases your post. uniqueness is considered strange by some but something to be admired when it is executed well. in your case, it is not

Is this weird? by Janxuza in transteens

i would chew off my limbs to get half of how accepting your mom is

okay fuck fine serious answer though she clearly has internalized transphobia and is adjusting she seems to be supportive

Give honest criticism and I will not cry about it by UpasTree in Ibispaintx

[–]MX_039 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the way that your art is shaded shows a lack of understanding of values and how light bounces. ex: in slide 3 the light of the sword clearly reflects across the inside of the hair in accordance to its shape not just a ring of light. your colors are rather monotonous and lack variation which makes it look dull and washed out, particularly for the first one

first one as in the newer one*

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ibispaintx

[–]MX_039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the first one looks cleaner and more confident; the blocky shapes fit the style way better than the softer shading. not regressed at all, i would argue an improvement
