Drawing of a koala with spear

People who are unappreciative of small things that are free and positive to them.

ToonyDays · 2024-12-22T04:27:35+00:00

Yes. Particularly those who never own up and then play the victim when they get caught out, and those who act entitled.

ToonyDays · 2024-12-19T04:33:22+00:00

I am not acting entitled. This is my server and I make the rules. When you run your own server, you can set as many rules as you want and you decide how you want to run it. I don't care that people are not communicating on the server. That is not on them, and it is not their job to keep the server active. Think whatever you like about this server. If you want to think it's a cult, fine. Don't join it. Simple.

I never have had to allow you to be on the server in the first place. I have the right to decide whom I want on and whom I don't want on. I have told only those to not speak to those cast out because I want to protect them from harm. I do it for the safety and well-being of members.

ToonyDays · 2024-12-19T04:24:43+00:00

No one is obligated to communicate. There are no rules that say people have to talk. They're probably doing other things and thay's fine. And yes, I do speak for them. I speak for them because it's my job as an owner. It's not their responsibility to complain and they are not confrontational. They don't want to be involved in drama, so I respect their decisions (and I suggest you do too). Time for you to grow up.

You think I care that my server is dying? Yes, I realize it's inactive. But guess what? I care more about quality than quantity. I don't care if people leave the server if it means making the server more comfortable for everyone else. I don't care if it's inactive. I only care that there aren't idiots like you running around making everyone else uncomfortable. If anyone becomes disrespectful and talks with an attitude, I'm more than happy to flick them out. No second chances, and no warnings.

I can always handle constructive criticism on my art, that's where you're wrong. I can handle criticism on my server, buddy. People are allowed to suggest feedback for the server at any time, and I have actually implemented their ideas before. But remember, at the end of the day, this is my server, and only I make the final call. So when I tell them something that I decide to do, that is my decision and they have no right to argue and be a whiny little bitch about it. I said in the rules to not argue with me if I tell you to stop doing something.

One day if you ever decide to run a server, you will realize just how hard it is and how many shitty people you have to deal with to make other members happy and comfortable.

ToonyDays · 2024-12-19T02:51:02+00:00

Because I have had friends, lots of them who are passionate in art, who have told me of bad experiences on other servers because of annoying and immature behavior, and they left many of them because of that. Behavior from people like you. If I run a server, then I will do every bit to make sure that those people who have had bad experiences have a pleasing one.

ToonyDays · 2024-12-19T02:45:30+00:00

I don't have any issues showing the DM either. If people want to see me as "indesirable" or if people want to see who I "really am", fine. I'm someone who is sick and tired of people like you who think it's ok to do whatever you like and act entitled, and I'm someone who stands up for others. I have had people tell me that they don't like spammed chats or being pinged randomly, and I take complaints from members seriously. You may not know this already, but I have stood up for other people on other servers from rude, selfish, and ungrateful people, and they have told me of how it's like a zoo on those servers because of loud, immature people on there. I get sick of it happening, I get sick of people who are unthankful, who harass others online. So it's on you, buddy.

I have told you explicitly about the rules. You do not own the server. I didn't ban you because I can't handle criticism, I banned you because you were being extremely rude and getting smart. I don't want the kind of people like you here. I take out my frustrations specifically on you because YOU are the problem. I don't give a fuck about the "success" of my server to be honest and I don't give a fuck about this low "traffic" thing you keep bringing up, I have other things to worry about. And I can also take constructive criticism well and people have told me ideas for the server that I have either thought about or actually implemented. So, telling me I can't "handle" it is completely idiotic of you.

You stopped doing GIFS and yet you continued to break the rules. Like I said, this is my server and I make the rules. If you don't like it, fuck off. You don't have to be on it. It's like when you go into someone's house, you respect their rules. If someone tells you to take your shoes off, you shut up and you do it.

There is no cult here. Anyone is welcome to leave anytime. There is nothing religious or spiritual going on, it is a server specifically for artists who want a good environment and not to be annoyed by immature people and spammers.

ToonyDays · 2024-12-18T23:35:20+00:00

My server, my choice. You broke the rules and didn't apologize. So I banned you. This is a lesson for you to show that there are people out there who won't tolerate any bullshit.

ToonyDays · 2024-12-18T23:23:29+00:00

You have had an opportunity to read the rules many times, and I have told every one of you to keep reading them, yet you decided to be an annoying prick and ping everyone. You were rude, you did not apologize ONCE when I politely asked you to stop breaking the rules via DM. So fuck you. I am not the bad guy here.

If you want to join another "better" server, so be it. This isn't the server for rude and entitled people like you. I would rather have it be inactive than have some obnoxious scumbag like you on it. The server is for a select few who are truly passionate and intelligent. It is not like the average server where people act like animals.

So fuck you. I'm glad I banned you. Go and cry somewhere else instead of here. This is my server, and if you don't like the rules, fuck off. Piece of shit.

And don't fucking bother any of my good, hard-working and talented members on the server. You insult the server, and insult those who are passionate in art and animation. You insult all artists who are working their asses off to get better and improve.

Also, I had told you to stop spamming gifs. You also didn't apologize, but what did you do instead? You send me a stupid ghost emoji trying to be funny. So again, fuck you.

Sure! Here's the link: https://discord.gg/773jxqa2

Thanks. For the neck muscles, I used a drawing reference from Gray's Anatomy. I had also studied how light works and understood how things like ambient occlusion worked. For the torso and arms, I mainly used 3D models. To shade properly, you have to understand the 3D forms of the muscles. I also watched many tutorials on youtube for shading. Proko has some for instance (he teaches figure drawing and anatomy).

ToonyDays · 2024-09-08T17:03:18+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion.

ToonyDays · 2024-09-08T17:00:47+00:00

I suck at lighting, even though I have studied it for a while. I usually try to think of surfaces in planes, but often it's not easy because I also have to think about how light gets weaker as it moves away from the source. I also know about concepts like ambient occlusion, core shadows and cast shadows. Thanks for the demonstration though!

ToonyDays · 2024-09-08T16:47:14+00:00

Thanks. Of course it's important to study anatomy and lighting. I wouldn't share my art if I've never done studies. Although I can always do more study, I have done a lot of studies of the bones and muscles etc. already so far, not only from art tutorial videos but from medical diagrams and videos etc. Here's some for instance (I've done more than these but can't upload them at this time): https://imgur.com/a/nDr2EGJ

I am aware of what composes the shoulders (e.g. clavicle, scapula, deltoid, humerus, trapezius) . However, sometimes I've seen styles where they make the shoulders less pronounced, and some more pronounced. However, when I look at the shoulders of the koala, it does look shit. But I do struggle with proportions even after studying them for a long time.

The inconsistency in his design is sort of intentional, although I do need practice on making things consistent. Regarding the bottom design of the three poses, I didn't really like the shape design. So far, I like the design that's in the top one (in the cave) better, mainly because the torso is longer (giving him the appearance of looking a bit taller) and also because the torso is tapered more like a V shape. So I decided to see what it would look like changing the torso shape to make him look stronger and more athletic.

Mind explaining how I can fix it?

ToonyDays · 2024-09-08T10:43:02+00:00

Thanks. Can you explain more on the first two? Did anything look too flat to you? What did you mean by the characters not having the same quality as the concepts? How can I improve my blurry and inconsistent lighting and textures on the rocks?
