"Post your Art" Thread

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Some very rough in progress work on a set of more complicated animations I am working on. I really loved the animated conversation screens from Star Control II and want to make a few little alien dudes in that style. Will eventually be colored and the background elements will be animated as well.

This little guy is supposed to be from a species that is cripplingly terrified of the dark, so they surround them selves with and carry lights at all times.
@NaggotFigger
Your stuff is great and you should just tell animu-hating wankers like my self to pound sand. Feel proud of the skill set you have built, I certainly rather envy it.
Also, congratulations! I may just be an anonymous pink scribble on the internet but I am happy to hear that you are a father.

I always think that I have low self-esteem, feeling that posting my art would embarrassing me further because I was in a specific niche that almost all Kiwis tries to distance. Not to pityfagging or attention whoring; but I always have very low self-esteem and hesitancy when it comes to making art in my way, like anime, different styles, animals, ships and other things. I always do anime since it is what I am in this niche, but this has been an embarassing thing already to begin with for Kiwifags that also watch anime and draw anime. I wanted to try different things, but felt like I was extremely strained, and constantly tell myself and self-depraving myself that I was washed out from doing other subjects, aside from lolcows. Lolcows are also my specialty, but that niche was underrated to me in art subjects, but I still deprave myself because I was afraid of embarrassing myself further since I am a family man that works a good job and has an infant son. Being a family man and an over-a-decade experience artist was embarrassing enough that I became afraid of drawfagging a bit, but I would not really gave up my passion to retire from art, especially that I like to improve and experiment things further, even if I was completely doomed or washed up in terms of Kiwi artfags' niche areas, even a bit worsening because of my weird but subtle social awkwardness and me being highly workaholic and likes to work-from-home and prefer going outside even more. I am extremely sorry for being such a piece of shit faggot nigger that kept repeating things over and over again, even if I was happy, I would be humble and sometimes self-depraving to not be a narcissistic nigger.
This should have been said in the How Are You thread, but I felt not like it.

I get the embarrassment part, there is a shame factor in posting work that people might consider cringe
Though if drawing embarrassing or cringy shit was crime i'd be executed first.

I will out autism you once i draw my dream comic which is basically tmnt and little bit of homestuck with dinosaurs. I'm not promising anything other than it's probably gonna be really stupid

Gentle Kiwis, do you ever find yourselves with art ugly rather than art block? Where you have a million things to draw but everything you're doing has post-wall Flounder vibes? When this happens, how do you work your way out of it?

Honestly yes, I think it's just judgemental thoughts of one's own work. The thought "I should be progressing more in xyz in my art."

You're describing early stage perfectionism.

I like it man. Has a surrealist quality thats kind of uncanny. While cool to the eye. I'd buy a sticker of that

Remember not every piece is going to be your magnum opus. Use it as motivation to improve but try your best to also not let it inhibit you. I've been trying to do that the last few months.

Hi all, here's a piece I made as a warm-up when I was getting back into pixel art last year. Had a phase where I was obsessed with retro pixel art styles specifically ones done on the PC-98 series of computers. I went out of my way to find and download the Multi Paint System program used to create some of those artworks. This is my attempt before deciding to just do this shit on Asesprite.

Some of todays more noteworthy sketches. They look crusty because my phone has a shitty camera.

Headshots of my favorite origin companions: Laezel, Gale, and Astarion. I think I made Laezel too pretty, but she looks a githyanki egirl anyway so it doesn't really bother me that much. I hated drawing Asstarion's hair and it shows. It's like a drag queen version of 50s hair and it pisses me off soooo much. I draw one curl and then I realizes it's in the wrong place. Fun fact, I thought he was a old granny lesbian at first because of his hair.
My headcanon is that Butch is racist against ghouls because they smell and look ugly.

The words behind Gob say : get these fucking smoothskin shits out of my bar. I was mean to him the second time I played so I felt inspired to draw an angry Gob. He looks weird when he's smashing the bottles down because I drew the head first and didn't feel like fixing it.

I might turn the fo3 one into a comic or illustration at some point.
