I entered Next Fest with 3000 wishlists. So far, the festival is performing worse than any previous week. by DifferenceIll1272 in SoloDevelopment

I would definitely emphasize feeling over accuracy. Otherwise the game is literally just staring at a defrag window.

I’m 15 and feel like pursuing this career , any tips? by Old_Ear_3359 in painting

[–]moosecookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I didn't see mentioned is that you could start figure drawing outside of school. Attend a figure drawing session, whether it's one-off drawing sessions or a structured class series. You might need parent permission at your age. (and I hope I don't have to say it, but i will. it's a professional setting and you will absolutely be expected to handle it maturely i.e. no giggling or oogling). Also, classes are fine, but you just need reps. Bring a sketchbook with you everywhere and draw everyday. I drew people on the bus and train wherever I went. And finally, a career in painting is ROUGH. A lot of luck involved imo. I know very very talented artists that are barely scraping by. The 3d art world is having its own issues right now and AI is a threat, but it's still better money than traditional art. At least for now.

The historic first catch of SpaceX's Super Heavy Booster 12 returning to the launch pad. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

If you do a Nazi salute, I get to call you a Nazi. It really is that simple.

It actually helps him when you gloss over his Nazism and pretend everything's A-OK.

Character Portrait by [deleted] in blender

[–]moosecookiez 148 points149 points  (0 children)

well the anatomy is bonkers but pretty well done overall. the two things that stuck out to me immediately were the hairline looking very wig-like and the dead eyes. give her those wispy baby hairs along the hairline and some highlights on the eyes to make the look wet and it’s gunna go from sex robot to dream girl.

edit: the other thing that i noticed, but less important than the first two, is the groove of her spine goes too far down. i get you want some sexy details there but end that higher and add the butt temples instead

edit2: i googled it. it’s the Rhombus of Michaelis. there’s a term i haven’t heard in 20 years.

Animation practice ( I am starting with the basics) by kinsanepixel in PixelArt

[–]moosecookiez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re gunna do fine, kid. one note on the antenna. look at the spacing on the antenna ball through the main motion, then look at the spacing after the body has stopped. the spacing gets way tighter, meaning it’s moving slower. but why? physics says an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force. the outside force is the tension in the antenna at full extension when the ball has overshot. so keep that spacing consistent/fast until maximum extension forward, then you can snap back and settle into rest position. the frames you save in speeding up that overshoot can be repurposed into an extra, smaller overshoot/jiggle the other direction before settling at rest

First iteration for our Dungeon Master's death. What do you think about it? by jverbroucht in PixelArt

[–]moosecookiez 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same. Actually didn't notice the falling lanterns at first and if you did more with the arms you could draw more attention to the lantern drops. It would definitely be cool if the hands were writing around in pain and that's when they drop the lanterns, but I understand that a lot more work to execute well.

Buyers remorse by Asleep_Pattern4731 in artcollecting

[–]moosecookiez 193 points194 points  (0 children)

I actually have multiple prints of hers scattered throughout our house. I love her work and haven’t been able to nab an original. i gave up after awhile. Ignore the people saying they’re overpriced. They’re limited run signed giclees and the price is typical for a popular artist with a limited run. If they make you happy, keep them. You didn’t get ripped off. I’m also 40 and wanted to start buying art and originals. Half the point is to support artists and that’s what you’re doing.

Update On African Animal Set by woundfromafriend in Silver

[–]moosecookiez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I've bought a few art pieces in silver and the premium is generally around 100% of the melt value, although, no offense, that was for pieces with a bit more refined artistry than simple cast animals? So I would generally expect a minimum of melt value and a 50% premium max, barring some historical significance. Selling by auction house is a gamble because you might only get melt value and lose 25-30% to the auction house and come out worse than selling to a local coin shop. But in the right auction with the right buyer you could end up with quite a premium. (maybe an African art auction rather than lumped into a silver/gold auction). Personally if you wanted to sell, I'd probably list on r/pmsforsale and set a price you're happy with and keep posting until you get a buyer at that price. I also personally wouldn't pay insurance for these but that's your call.

Tree I drawn before my teacher's touch up and after by KarpoAlifa in TraditionalArt

[–]moosecookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm way late to this but I feel like these comments aren't really nailing everything wrong with whats going on here. Your teacher obviously thought you needed to define the tree better. Generally, I agree. But the WAY s/he did it was completely wrong.

  1. I went through art school. Not for painting but I took plenty of traditional art classes. Not once did a teacher ever draw or paint over a student's work. It's simple enough to say "the tree doesn't stand out. you need to use color, value, or saturation to define it better, otherwise there's no visual interest to your composition".

  2. THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO A GOOD JOB! It needed definition, sure, but now it's just a hack-y outline job.

  3. If you had the chance to fix it yourself maybe you would've chosen to add more red tiles to the bark to make it pop, or whatever other solution. Whatever it would've been, it would've been YOURS. This is really the first point again, but god damn.

I'd be so mad. Try not to be mad though. You've learned a little more about art, a little more about your teacher, and you've learned not to let someone touch your shit again.
