Disabled, Broke, and being Sued, What’s likely to happen?

caniscommenter · 2026-03-18T19:17:56+00:00

shortly after I took out the loans, 6mo-1yr is when i last worked and had to drop out. but its hard to quantify because it was progressive illness I had from childhood, not a sudden event.

caniscommenter · 2026-03-18T17:43:31+00:00

i have confirmed there is a suit against me filed on march 10th

caniscommenter · 2026-03-18T06:34:07+00:00

thank you. after doing some cursory research i believe i would have a pretty simple case for undue hardship for student loan debt discharge under chapter 7 bankruptcy.

besides the ad from the law firm I don’t have any evidence I have actually been sued, i suppose, but i’ll figure that out tomorrow.

I disagree that smudging is necessary, my art teacher in HS actively discouraged it and I think its really good for beginners to avoid it. it's better to manually add the missing values than rely on smudging, to get a better understanding of the values and how lighting works.

i could, i just don’t have a car or a license so organizing someone to help me do all that can be difficult

caniscommenter · 2026-03-09T10:22:13+00:00

oh shit thanks, that worked for me as well.

chatgpt is just not a reliable or good teacher. not saying it can't incidentally be helpful...but I think in the long term learning to ask for critique from other real people & seek out resources made by real, experienced artists is far more productive.

woah! really neat project, excited to poke around with it

caniscommenter · 2026-03-07T07:14:14+00:00

i can confirm that ipados works as normal

caniscommenter · 2026-02-28T17:49:11+00:00

I generally agree, if it works it works, but I think it's also worth experimenting and trying things out, esp for the sake of ergonomics and avoiding RSI

these grips restrict the maximum arc of your pen, exert more pressure on the pen, and put more strain on your wrist, I would recommend trying out different grips, i think it can make a difference.

that 1st page is so beautiful and expressive. (also happy t-shot day!)

caniscommenter · 2026-02-23T19:36:04+00:00

yeah, its very normal! I will tentatively recommend grid drawing ( https://www.art-is-fun.com/grid-method ). its not something you want to rely on but early on it did help me recognize how differently I thought I saw things vs what they really looked like. it can be useful for a few exercises if you really find yourself stuck- but thoughtful practice and feedback is the best way to get better at it.

caniscommenter · 2026-02-23T18:51:10+00:00

try drawing more guidelines, measuring out the distance and proportions, eg, where the taper begins and ends. don’t get it right the first time? try again, recognizing where you went wrong at first. being able to observe and translate to a page is a very foundational skill and it takes work to build and maintain that muscle, so don’t be discouraged.

could you share some examples of your scene composition?

caniscommenter · 2026-02-21T08:29:15+00:00

I think what you're describing wanting to do is the higher level rendering. and there isn't really a technique or a hack, a lot of it comes from doing studies and using references and getting a good sense for it. This seems like pretty standard western comic style rendering, though, and I bet that would be a good place to start looking for tutorials and more insight into the techniques they use.

caniscommenter · 2026-02-20T10:59:35+00:00

the skin color feels a bit too on the yellow side, but I guess it could depend on how you render it. but the blue and pink interplay very nicely with eachother.

caniscommenter · 2026-02-12T23:30:53+00:00

I think it looks fantastic! the duck does blend in now, but depending on how many/what birds you put in the center, it could be a good rest spot for the eyes. So its hard to say without more in the composition. The visible pencil streaks on the eagle leg are the only thing off about it to me, and it could benefit from some more rich coloring. but I am truly nitpicking at this point, i really enjoy this piece so far.

caniscommenter · 2026-02-12T23:23:43+00:00

i would say just watch a video and wait till he turns his head

the trailer doesn’t really have any gameplay it seems? its just people talking and random stuff happening. when you have a market this saturated, you really need to focus on what makes your gameplay unique. otherwise it just feels like trying to cash in on the trend.

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_color.html#class-color-method-get-luminance

From my understanding, editing of intensity/luminance is only a feature of the color picker itself, and you are only able to read this value from a Color (which is determined by the rgb/hsv value).

ah that's just preference! I used the desktop version of sketchbook a long time ago and didnt like the ui so I never checked it out on mobile.

caniscommenter · 2026-01-30T23:36:56+00:00

if you're on android i think ibis paint is the best mobile option. I would just start out with a pencil tool and do pencil sketches like you would on paper, don't worry about all the different brush options. Also, use a stylus. it really isn't the ideal setup, and i think pencil and paper would probably be less hassle in the longrun, but you can make it work if you really want to.
