File: Tableguys Challenge.png (3.8 MB)

Something bothered me about TableGuy's challenge. Not even professional illustrators can make 52 illustrations a year, and those who do make art that quickly can't be called illustrations.
I don't want people to feel bad if they can't meet the challenge expectations, because I think they are literally impossible without compromising something. It is setting up a self-sabotaging goal.
Suggestions:
1. Change to 8 - 10 illustrations a year
2. Originality focus: 4 - 8 illustrations a year plus ~4 supporting pieces a month (concept art, character design, interior design, etc.)
3. make 52 pieces but don't call them illustrations, or call it "finished pieces" over quality. Even the twitter artists who make a piece every 2-3 days do not always have backgrounds on every piece.
>>
>>7861001
1. He probably purposely made the challenge as difficult as possible. That's the way he is.
2. Most professional artists do not posts all the art they make in a year, like everyone else, they think some of it isn't up to par with the rest of their public stuff, so they simply don't post it.
I do agree the challenge is insane tho, you are pretty much giving up in participating in almost every other challenge for the year.
>>
>>
>>7861007
1. It's difficult to the point of self-defeating. Even if you reached the 52/year metric, you wouldn't be learning you'd just be pumping out art. It's either impossible, or a waste of time.
2. I purposefully looked for artists that posted all their work, and looked back several years (up to 2011) to ensure that was a reliable metric of how long their illustrations take. This collage took me 4-6 hours to make because I was using multiple sources. For example Ask only posted 4 illustations on pixiv and twitter, but her Weibo had 1 per month.
I love illustrations and would love to do a 5 star challenge but I just do not think this one is possible. I get irritated when I feel like someone is asking people to do an impossible task. Feel free to prove me wrong though, TableGuy (if he reads this)

Show me an artist who makes 52 illustrations a year.
and if it's "not on par with the rest of their stuff" it's not an illustration then, it was a character study or a scrap. Illustration implies polished and finished work. That's what I'm saying, you can't make 52 illustrations in a year; you can make 52 pieces, you can make 10 illustrations and 42 supporting art, but 52 illustrations activates my autism

that's fine, his challenge is for NEETs anyway. But if he has someone who supports his art, he should be able to do his own challenge - oh wait
also, even those artists who make art for a living cannot live up to his challenge standards. Someone like ATDAN cannot be having "secret art they don't post" because his deadlines are so tight.

To answer your question, anything you commit a lot of drawing to. The goblin one looked very determined, the chainchomp also handled darks very well imo but that's just me being niche. Graphically I think it was really solid.

The challenge is really for myself and another buddy. I posted it on /dad/ in case anyone else wanted to join along. I’m ok if you dont join anon 7861001, you may choose your own destiny.
FYI my primary motivations at the time were:
1) i have to stop drawing girls floating in voids
2) i paint too slow, i need to speed up
3) i was stuck in study hell for the past year. I need to train imagination drawing
4) I also didnt make any finished pieces last year
Originally i was going to make 100, but my friend said 50 was more reasonable. Maybe “illustration” carries too much weight. I more or less just meant an imagination drawing, top to bottom with no reference and a background, color, ink. No loose sketches. No half baked ideas or floating characters without purpose. Maybe it’s a page of a comic. People can easy make more than 50 pages of a comic a year.
You know your own quality and your own limits. I think that is part of the challenge. You have to pace yourself. If you can only make 10 max effort illustrations in a year then how do you cut corners so that you can do 50? I’d change the wording from illustrations to drawings, but i cant edit challenges.
I’ll try my best to finish the challenge, i couldnt finish the 1k figures because of life obligations etc etc. I would probably submit something like pic related which took me 2 days, but I hope by my last drawing the quality will have noticeably improved.
>>7861010
To eaches own. My goals are productivity, unlock more imagination drawing, finish more drawings.

Your art lacks curves and fluidity, which you can learn by studying porn. Feel the form, faggot.

Did you know, being attracted to thicker women is usually a sign of being lower class, or growing in a place with least resources.
Also, if you are "hungry", you are more likely to at that moment be attracted to a woman with higher fat % than if you weren't.
A study was made in which men were asked women based on who they perceived to be more attractive, this was done both before they had lunch and after eating.
Consistently the men before they had eaten ranked "fatter" women higher, however, after they ate they instead ranked the thinner women higher instead.

However Loomis is a good place to start.
Keep drawing spheres and cubes.
Once you can confidently construct those you can worry about getting the details right. At this stage it's not about quality it's about volume. Draw relentlessy. Draw unendingly. All day. Every day. Draw until your eyes hurt. It's gonna take a huge amount of tenacity and busywork to escape the early stages.
I wouldn't even think about critique for now. There's plenty of time for that later. Just focus on volume.

You are retarded if you think this is normal straight porn. I am a male and even I recognize the distinct style that's very often used by women. Male artists never ever invest this much effort into drawing attractive men, and even the attractive man in that picture perfectly fits the female gaze: strong and athletic but not too buff (i.e. he is not looking like Arnold or Ronnie Coleman), LARGE HANDS (very important point, only female artists make them colossal like that), VERY tall (you can see that by head to body ratio) and of course pretty face. Straight male artists always wing this shit. Here's Pigeon666, another female artist always giving ridiculous proportions to her males and doing what I just described

I think it's pretty serviceable. There's a sloppy quality to it that I think comes from how rough and thick your lines are. I thought it might have been pillow shading but you're just on a huge brush size. Maybe try some thinner brushes out. and some white highlights. A little pin lighting would go a long way on your more simplistic style.
Its got good bones though.
>>7861588
I'm definitely going to reinstall when I clear my comms. All the new story stuff is getting a bit too "anime writing" for my taste.

you ever find it weird how women make up 85% of consumer spending (women be shopping amirite? https://carriem77.medium.com/the-purchasing-power-of-women-230ec98bc25 d) yet despite the prevalence of yumejoshis on the Internet and the unapologetic goonerism of them in things like the erotic literature market, they buy very little commission art?
sure they buy a lot of merch and art of a very SFW nature, but not a ton of commissions. I used to know a girl who drew BL doujinishi for the rabid horny women fanbase she catered to, and her stuff would get massive hits but she'd be patreon/commission poor all the time. She actually had to draw warhammer and shit to make up for it a lot. Another artist I know found that he made money selling AI chat prompts to women on one of those AI character sites, but couldn't sell illustration work to them. I myself have written erotica for women, but again haven't sold work to them, even yaoi shit. They have a pretty active thread on /y/ for requests, so there's obviously a demand for that kind of visual work. Just not a purchase they make as far as I know.
I could be wrong, but I keep noticing the pattern.
>>
>>7861723
I'd post my art more often but I don't wanna be percieved by the thread as "somebody" if that makes sense, i'm happy with being a random anon that posts art and isn't associated with anyone but to achieve that you gotta post like once every other thread or even less
>>
>>7861733
I don't know about that. The only thing I noticed in their consumption pattern is that they commissioned me only SFW art, meanwhile men always commissioned me some crazy coomer stuff like a woman with 8 boobs, 6 hands and 3 penises or a woman with boobs the size of her torso, or a woman with gargantuan ass. Both genders knew that I am doing fucked up shit for money but I don't remember a single time a woman asked me for that. I should note though that women for whatever reason are overrepresented not only in yaoi but also in gore, ALL the people drawing gore and whom I knew were women. I don't know a single guy that was drawing gore, no matter how fucked up man's life was he was drawing anything BUT gore, I knew a dozen of male furries and a few lolicons and yet no guys turned on by that shit

That's what I'm saying though. Women are buying art just not art of the coom nature. I'm sure they buy plenty of sfw illustration work the same way they buy loads of keychains and figures and fashion merch.
As for the gore that is true. But it's a recent trend. All the gore artists I know who were men were drawing like comics and shit. Pic related. It's not gore gone sexual of course but it still counts right?

I think that the specifics matter enough to keep you here. I used to clash with Tristan Elwell something like two decades ago and I'd do the same shit, I wanted to come back unapologetically and under my very own dirtied name, driven by pride I suppose.
I got publically lynched and banned, almost went in for a third until Chooby stepped in and said a word on my behalf. That's how we met.

Not necessarily amazed by him at this point, never REALLY was. He had solid advice, but his illustrations were always very rigid and plain - really for the children's books or an ad in some pulp mag. He got far though, got his awards and medals, and is generally respected among the primordial uncs.
I think he was a judge or consultant for Spectrum IIRC.

I avoid tumblr/feminist women as a rule and prefer old school fujoshis, so I don't really encounter that behavior. The fujos who poon out mostly only do so because they care for some reason about SJW faggots nagging them over "fetishization" and think being a gay man is a loophole.
Maybe you're confusing fujos self-inserting as ukes or semes in ship art as always self-inserting no matter the scenario. Sometimes I self-insert when fantasizing about couples, but I don't when I draw my husbando dying since that's an entirely different dynamic. In terms of narcissism, at least women are capable of empathizing with characters of the opposite sex. Men crash out about lack of muh heckin representation if they don't have a male character with all their traits to self-insert as.

Nah, feminists did. Who gives a shit what they think? They hate fujos and bitch about us being le problematic homophobes. I just wanna draw men kissing and dying in agony (I'm not a misandrist I love men I promise desu)

Nah, that was the old freebase, the new freebase wakes up smiling because he's going to animate his self insert character planting smiling fruit trees with Cobbeli's OC Noxie at the park.

You should be happy about this as you have a longer time frame to post at the end of the day, whereas Europeans drawing at night either have to post riskily just barely before the deadline, or stay up late.

We haven't seen the new DrFreebase yet, he's still transitioning, so he's trans-freebase right now. But trans-freebase has stopped drinking, stopped drawing his self sabotaging drawings(i think?), and is looking forward to drawing gay happy things like feeding ducks with Noxie every day now.
Once he fully sexually transitions away from his toxic male persona, and find his inner feminine side, he'll not only be well kept and respectable, but he'll probably become a doctor or engineer god willing.
>>
>>

>>7863446
Yeah, but only if you're looking towards a better future. Not if you're stuck in the past, seeing a bleak future and the only times you talk about death is how assuring it is in alleviating your pain.
Which is why only Noxie(who we know doesn't have dark web ulterior motives) can help dr freebase right now.

Had an infected tooth that spread badly last fall, got antibiotics for it but its gotten reinfected and now I am developing random absesses filled with a grayish puss, generally within proximity of where you would expect to see lymph nodes. should probably go to a doctor, but ts is kinda embarassing as its something I should of delt with a while ago.

Regret's imaginary doll friend is telling you do nothing and slowly commit suicide.
Cobbeli's imaginary clown friend is telling you to go to the doctor and live to draw gay happy scenes.
Which one will win? The one that's fed most.
However Cobbeli hasn't fed her clown friend in a while, while Regret is constatnly feeding her demonic doll friend every day.
You NEED to animate yourself sitting in a cloud with Noxie NOW!

I had recommended King to do a side by side test of painting the same ref with both a soft, and hard brush. Mainly because he said he thought a soft brush would make value studies easier.
So I decided I shouldn't a some backseat drawing fag, and show an example. Though I didn't quite do the same type of study. It was nice though, I learned a few things.
Honestly I mindlessly reached for the hard one for this new painting, while it'd be so much easier with the other. But whatever. It's matching the colors where the real challenge's at.

For a while now I've held this policy that I should post some work if I'm posting at all. This is an IMAGEboard, after all. For artwork and critique, no less.
Remember to go for a nice walk, do some cardio and eat well DADs. Stay active and healthy. <3
I have also found myself encouraged by the girlieposters to draw some boys. But perhaps later, I will draw my favorite JJK guy first. Should fit nicely with the ongoing anatomy studies. Just gotta deal with all the irl stuff first, sigh.

Anon, most lesbians are just straight women projecting a gay performance as a way of shielding their own egos. Some might do it for attention (like every straight girl's college lesbian experimentation phase) or because they feel like their sense of self worth has disappeared over time, either from being pumped and dumped one time too many or from feeling too inadequate to compete with younger women in the dating market. There are lesbians prime out there but it's probably like 1 in 10 declared "lesbians". It's just some goofy shit women do to avoid psychic damaging themselves.

i've been making progress towards that but lately i've been thinking (ok this kinda expands a bit beyond the ironic schizo behaviour and into actual sincere thoughts) that if I ever do decide to dive into social media and try to make a name for myself i'll eventually hit a wall in terms of reach due to being asocial. I have a bunch of ideas for the future that probably require collaboration with other people that probably won't ever come to fruition due to me hating talking to other people and it's quite upsetting.

Depends what you want out of art.
If you're just in it for the love of the craft and an appreciation of the medium, social media is going to be an unnecessary time sink. You might gain some learning or understanding from social media and you'll be able to expose yourself to some great contemporary artists, but that's nothing you couldn't already achieve by lurking.
If you're in it to make money on your art, social media can be a great vehicle for that if you're willing to commit the time and effort required to maintain an online presence. It's not the only art marketplace but it is a growing one and is very accessible.
If it's to collaborate social media is a great place to meet people, but you have other options like online art forums, art servers etc.
If you just want recognition and fame, social media is probably going to cause you more frustration that satisfaction. It's an endless treadmill that demands you clock in and try to artificially project enthusiasm every day.
Which of any of these do you think fits your art goals the best?

Collaboration I suppose, I love art for the sake of art but I also have ideas that i've been thinking of for a while that I couldn't possibly do alone.
>If it's to collaborate social media is a great place to meet people, but you have other options like online art forums, art servers etc.
I get what you mean but the core issue is me not have great communication skills and quite honestly being a very hostile person.
>>7864967
>Well now that you noticed this, go fix it lmao. Small steps. Parts of growing up is to be able to compromise
I guess so, I think if I ever got to the point where I was a good enough artist to truly start getting collaboration offers accepted i'd hopefully improve a bit as a person but only time can tell, no use worrying about it now.

How to control ones emotions instead of sperging like an autist and estranging others? I get so upset I start shaking and want to sock myself in the face
I dislike that my art has the look of someone doing so for emotional regulation rather than the look of someone good with the craft ( not mutually exclusive I know but how do you keep calm enough for detail work without raging at this life or the next one, or one's own jittery emotionally vulnerable hands ) ?

Don't worry it's just someone's OC lol. She's a very saturated shade of blue in the ref. Probably even more than my piece gets.
I haven't gone off the deep end...(Yet)

Pretty fucking kino.
My personal favourite is Raphael.
The way he builds colour paletes is Godlike. This kind of work defined the Renaissance for me. It's that maturation of the medieval style to such a refined degree that it becomes something new. We always focus on the introduction of mathematically accurate perspective when it comes to the evolution of painting during the era but a lot of other qualities of art were developed in this era.

if you are timing yourself the rules say you need to show the work you did in that timeframe. if not just show something that represents at least 30 minutes of work. but no one follows the rules, forge your own path

Thoughts on a DAD art contest?
Maybe everyone who enters can be part of a magazine
Highest rated ones go in the front. But nonetheless everyone gets printed.
Or a DAD pixiv Fantasia
Or DAD compendium or anthology. Everyone submits a short comic or a piece of world building.

You’re right. Imagine the baby is female and then you get her pregnant as well. A grotesque, never-ending matryoshka effect. This is beyond disgusting, and you should be arrested by the Carabisesso

The level of pregnancy depicted is usually beyond the stages of a mere zygote, and although unintentional, anon kind if has a point. I'd say he only likes the archetype of the pregnant woman, but he'd likely fight me.

Need ideas for the anthology/compendium theme
just a generic "fantasy world" can't be fun
what if we built our own DAD lore. The capital where Page 1's live. The gauntlet where Page 2-5's battle to get a spot on Page 1. the ones with the longest streaks getting the biggest castles. Actual houses representing guilds or medieval family crests

honestly I think it can be very cool just generic, I own a couple fantasia artbooks and really just love seeing people put together different ideas without a lot of organization, but like I'd be down for more lore too.

yeah we can get some botticelli studies around here!!! both raphael and botticelli can paint a pretty woman. it's funny how much we value perspective right now and then these can almost completely ignore it and still be amazing.

Did 3 hours of drawing today, the result is mediocre but I am glad DAD at least “force” me to do art. If I can keep this consistent, soon enough when I get those “life flashing before my eyes” on my death bed, it will be filled with me undoing and erasing lines over and over again instead of youtube meme compilation :D
Also, finally incorporating fun drawing after studies.

So, I did a *little bit* of research into Pixiv Fantasia (I remember the artbooks around when I was a teenager but didn't understand what it was)
Apparently it is a community and collaborative lore project. The key thing being it uses tags. So people tagged PF_Chapter or PF_Faction. I wonder if critique me developer can make a tag system to read dad contributions for Dad Fantasia. But it doesn't necessarily have to be 1 to 1 just like PF.
And there was an organizer who softly chose the direction the story goes in based on community reaction and input to the event.
Its a lot different from Art Fight nor any regular art book. I think with DAD'S smaller usebase and different gallery infrastructure (no tags, no views) we will have to be creative about how to adapt such an event or art book for us.
It is interesting thats for sure. And I'd love to have a dad artbook. Maybe like a Meet the Dad each DAD contributes an OC to the world.

feel a bit sad today. Not sure why. Just having kind of a gloomy cloudy time of it. I'll try and draw through it.
Hope you guys are doing better

We can always make it less elaborate but it'd be fun to have a couple of factions with characteristics (because it's fun to have designs similar) and some canon events to draw of, or reference.
I have this sakizo artbook too that is kinda similar (but one artist only) where it goes through a fantasy kingdom and describes different characteristics but it's mostly just art of the different parts of the world. I'm open to whatever though I just worry partially about over complicating it to start.

Feel better anon. I hope you have a good meal and sleep well. Draw something fun and take care of yourself.

I'll do it like a real card, a small illustration on the left with the name and a cheesy joke above, then on the right a smaller illustration on top with a few nice words underneath and why I sent the card. I'll submit them all simultaneously and I have 3 targets in mind.
