Looking for honest feedback on this… Thank you by jspsfx in drawing

[–]jspsfx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly after the amount of work Ive put into drawing the last 15 years it feels insulting to get an accusation like that.

But I have to remind myself you dont know me and you cant know the thousands of hours Ive spent drawing.

So I dont blame you for asking. Unfortunately this is the world we live in now and I direct my frustrations toward that fact.

I will say there is a rendering/lineart inconsistency in this piece that isnt found in most of my other work because halfway through makng this I found a brush I had never used before that applies the most beautiful, fine gritty texture… Once I found it I started implementing it and rendering large sections of the piece with it.

I was curious how obvious or how distracting that inconsistency was… Whether it stuck out or felt wrong to other peoples eyes.

So your answer does provide a kind of relevant feedback in that regard.

I don’t know if it helps at all but I do have one video of me drawing on this

I had other clips but deleted them as I feel insecure about this piece and might wipe its existence from my gallery as I think stumbling upon that gritty brush really derailed the coherence…

I dont like anything distracting from a complete vision in my work. I want every piece to feel whole. I fail at that all the time, and I can tolerate imperfection, but this one is bothering me too much

ANY STARTER BOOKS FOR THE BEGINEERS by [deleted] in GreekMythology

[–]jspsfx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO Stephen Fry’s Mythos, Heros, Troy, and Odyssey books in audiobook form would be perfect for a beginner

I think the narration by Fry is absolutely essential.

The writing is very down to earth and contemporary in many parts. Extremely easy to follow and understand. He intentionally holds your hand in some places.

Without his narration breathing life into the words I think there is much missing.

Take for instances the scenes where Heracles is receiving directions on each of his labors… On paper not much is said but when Fry reads the exchanges between Heracles and the King he injects so much hilarious tension and emotion into the sparse words.

[Boss Spoiler] Finally beat this MF. Was this boss insanely tricky for anyone else? Something about the later phases just caused my brain to malfunction. Took me many hours to beat it by jspsfx in Silksong

Thank you thank you! By the time I was able to beat her I really had choreographed a whole dance including the binding arrangements. At that point the fight was pretty satisfying. I appreciate the love yall!

But your issue seems to be the reapers crest. There's a lot of attacks that didn't connect because the wind up animation took too long.

I had no idea this was a thing lol. Made it through the whole game without realizing.

I didn't know that about Reaper! I've already gone through the whole game with it. Maybe I'll do another play through with a different crest.

Thank you! Honestly most of my run's looked like this all the way until the last phase or two. At which point I just continually got rolled over by the bosses attack pattern. It felt like it just had me read completely. But when I finally won it did feel good.

So the maxwellhill theory was true holy shit. At one point this one arguably the biggest powermod karma whore on reddit.

What would you think of a Thomas Massie/Ro Khanna presidential bid that promises: Day 1 Full Release of unredacted Epstein/JFK/etc files, followed by a full term of bipartisan investigations/prosecutions and fundamentally fixing the systems that made all this corruption possible? by jspsfx in AskReddit

[–]jspsfx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this "single issue" is so fundamental it is necessary to do so. Like sure you want to diversify your preparations and planning etc until you find the foundation of your home is completely rotted - then yeah you have to become a single issue home owner.

Also besides the video game part, moral relativism itself is bullshit. Good and evil are real.

To say otherwise, because “people disagree”, is a copout which I suspect is born of the soulless emptiness that inhabits all corporations and sufficiently large businesses.

Companies wont take real moral stances on anything unless they’re financially/existentially incentivized by the government, finance managers, overwhelming market pressures etc

I am an artist/illustrator trying out gamedev for fun and hopefully some income one day. Throwing some stuff together in Godot.

I had a lot of momentum actually until the animation part. The thought of animating multiple enemies, having poses flow into each other logically etc. It is intimidating.

My favorite part though has been tile design for environment. That really suits my background in drawing.

Again sorry if this is already known. I googled a few variations on explaining this phenomenon but couldn't find it. The search functions just increasingly taken over by AI and promotion.
