Does anyone have recommendations for planning a graphic novel?

I'm struggling.

Obviously, a microwave baddie would be a thicc, bountiful beauty. But what would a microwave baddie wear?

This is the character design crisis of my life. Do I go casual, lazy loungewear, Emma Frost adjacent, or intergalactic hottie?

Y'all, I'm struggling
I spent so much time this week trying to make a hot microwave waifu, and I can't get the microwave part right.

You can hear me have a breakdown about it here. youtu.be/JQcXlRci3LU?... But I'm going to bring the microwave saga here to Bluesky.

Dude same, but I don’t have a drawing tablet to even make myself desirable as a drawing tablet person in the first place and my iPad catches on fire when I open Procreate.
I want to get on those HUION tablet marketing they do maybe i should email them for a chance ;;

How do draw hot feminine forms? I’m struggling, send help.

I made a video introducing my OC, Eris. I still haven't actually finished the illustration though, so that'll be posted here soon-ish

But if you want to meet Eris, the incarnate of Chaos or have any questions let me know!

This and then I have to put effort in the censoring it to share the horn with others

I’m so torn between this hair and making the mechanical arm or her amputation or pre timeskip longer hair with double muscle mommy….. #arcane #sevika #wip

I’m in this exact same position with video game ideas. I have all the concepts, I’m ready to Art, concept design, character plan my life away. But I want to art for someone else. Like please tell me what to do. #artistproblems
i have an idea for an illustrated book of folklore stories but the whole thing is just so daunting and shapeless that i dont know from which side to even approach it.
i have the concept but I'd like the writer (s) to either be someone else or the actual archived texts.. but how does one get those..

you know what pisses me off?
finding an artist that:

-have only censored works on their IG page
-no merch no prints no patreon
-no other links or socials
-upload every 3rd blood moon
-one day they mysteriously vanish and never post again

and they are the best fucking artist you've ever seen

Can someone please explain to me why there are no season 1 Vander figures, Silco figures, and season 1 Viktor figures?

And young Silco and Vander figures.

Take my money, please, I need them on my shelf.

Literally just me trying to remember my own rendering process.

Does anyone have advice for getting first jobs in #animation or #videogames

My interest is character design, illustration, and storyboarding.

Should I add a page to my website with all my sketches, comic thumbs, and storyboarding?

Where do I apply? All I see on job sites is graphic design

I really needed this reminder now that I'm trying to get a job in art and have been struggling to navigate it.

It's not always and only you.

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it"

No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts.

there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

Is it weird to announce when #youtubevideos go live over here?

This weeks art vlog covers why I bought The Art of Arcane and honestly I'm just in love with the book!

It's one of those weeks where my art all feels like garbage. So, it's drawing goofy-looking meme cats with #crayons time. I'm embracing childlike joy tonight and no is stopping me.

Start of a comic idea for my skin picking. I talk about it a lot more in the video I’m uploading tomorrow. But I think I want a bit of an inverse where the spaces between all the panels are pure black

#artists please help. I made my #ArtStation Account two days ago and I’ve already been propositioned by crypto people thrice. But I didn’t know the first one was a crypto person and I thought they genuinely wanted to buy prints from me.

Is it weird to ask if my art is safe rn?

I'm finally in the process of running all my work through Glaze so I can share it here without stress!

Here's one of my favorite drawings of my OC Eris! The lineart is all done with pen and ink on paper and digitally colored in Procreate.
