Post #1
Since there's been going on a lot of irrelevant discussion in various threads, we could use this thread to ask various questions or to discuss all our muscle memory stuff, your favorite artist or why shitting in a jar is art. This thread is so we could get more concentrated artwork goodness in other threads and less scrolling over irrelevant posts.
---------------------------
Gonna start out by asking what do you drink when you're in your creative progress?
I usually have me a cup a coffee/tea, or when I'm working with watercolour I have a pocal of wine, since I tend to hot bewerage cups with that water cup you soak your brushes in.
-
-
Cool idea. This is good.
Contribution to random discussion:
Usually I just drink pints of water. If there's coke I'll have that, but that isn't often. If I'm hella tired but really need to get some work done I walk round the corner and buy a Monster.
-
When sculpting, it's usually some OJ. It depends when drawing, it can vary from an energy drink at 4am or a glass of wine in the evening.
-
A can of River Cola.
Do you listen to music or anything while doing creative stuff?
-
Pabst Blue Ribbon. It's great with a little pinch of salt thrown in.
Inb4 "hipster!"
-
Always! Sometimes I stick to jazz and classical to sooth me, but usually it's just anything amongst my giant and weirdly varied iTunes.
-
Been listening to Godspeed You Black Emperor. They do ambient-ish music, it works out really great.
-
I end up dipping my paintbrush into my drink instead of my jar of water, so I have to be careful and drink from bottles, haha. Plus sometimes what I listen to depends on the mood of what I'm creating. One day I'll be painting and cranking up 80's hits and other days I'll want trance.
-
I listen to music depending on my mood.
-
I need music no matter what I do, such as: bio exams, papers, research, sculpting, painting, quantum physics, statistics, math, simulation, eating... etc.
The only time I have music off is when I am asleep.
-
"bzzzt. They have a large barge with a radio antenna on it that they charge up and discharge... bzzzt."
-
I am incredebly annoyed by that message. Kills all the flow.
Also I got one more work to do and my first freelance assigment is over!
-
hurpsdurr!
the split-toned photos don't help your argument
also I told 3v to make the thread yay

-snop-

I think it fits, its ghostly.
-
I like to have varied music whenever I'm in a creative mood, so it can really go from 60's pop to 80's glam metal to 70's jazz to 90's funk to... The only thing I don't have on my playlist is white power-music and trance/techno, because that is a genre of music I just can't get into.
-
Do any of you watch TV while being creative?
-
What is white power music?
Edited:
I usually watch some shows off my second screen but I never pay them attention. Guess I do'nt need music I just need white noise to accompany my actions.
-
My music collection gives me mad mood swings.
One moment it's this:
Then next on shuffle comes this:
Confuses my poor brain.
-
I used to watch TV in the background when doing anything, but that's most computer people for ya
-
The other night I'll worked while Buzzcocks, Russell Howard, Big Bang Theory and Family Guy were on in succession... but that's only because my bro was in the room with me. I rarely watch TV, while working or otherwise.
-
I make a lot of music so any other sound is a distraction for me. But at other times, I'll have my TV on.
-
What you guys name your layers?
Mine are usually Mr. something
Eg. scratchy jim is sketch and Mr. brick is blocking in with colours.
-
layer 1
layer 5
layer 23
layer 77
layer 4
then I squint really hard at the thumbnails to figure out which is which
-
Haha I'm far more boring. Usually I act all official and name them things like "sketch", "lines", "skintones" or whatever.
Sometimes if I'm bored and editing someone's Garry's Mod picture though I'll end up isolating characters onto new layers and calling the layers things like "badassmotherfucker01" and "badassmotherfucker 02" and calling special effects "fancy glowing shit".
-
Pluton Svea, HEL, that kind of music.
-
Also am I capable enough to create a comission that's worth 10eur?
I don't know, cause I've never had any balls to ask any money for anything I've done so far.
-
From what I've seen of your art I think you are.
-
Anyone know where I could find someone that could gift some dude a 10€ value game over steam if I did comission for one?
-
You shouldn't be the one asking for work, they should come to you or you find someone who says "I want x or y drawn for z money".
Edited:
Actually, I got an idea. Brb making a thread!
-
Well Christ everybody if the mouth breathing inbred fish people on Deviantart can ask for 15 dollars for one of their tutorial driven kawaii nightmares I don't see why you can't take advantage of the internet's gullibility.
Remember, it's not called groping for money, it's called entrepreneurial spirit.
Edited:
And I drink milk. Because milk is fucking boss.
-
I don't know who to ask, no one really watches my shit cause i don't draw sonic
I'm just trying to score some flamecow a call of prypjat :smith:

does this kind of stuff piss anyone else off?

And in a few years, the people who do this shit will teach art in school.does this kind of stuff piss anyone else off?

Loads of female friends of mine have really high-end cameras (by most standards) that they have no fucking clue how to use. They may as well have a £40 point and click because they suck at photography so much. I don't even do photography and I look at their stuff and know I could do better. They have no grasp of composition what-so-ever. They seem to think that whacking the exposure up = good picture. Either that or desaturation.does this kind of stuff piss anyone else off?

Step 1: Hold camera at arm's length
Step 2: point down at face
Step 3: make duck-lips
Step 4: desaturate in photoshop
Step 5: re-color eyes annoyingly bright blue
Step 6: write something like "love" in illegible cursive
ART!
-
Has anyone had an experience with someone who was used to dealing with traditional art, and then they discover Photoshop? It's not a pretty site.
-
OH this definetly.
Some time ago I had a quirrel with this dude on deviantart. Hang on, maybe I can still find the profile.

The stairway was the last photo when I was fuckign around.
He was all bitchy but after I uploaded my photography he suddenly shut up.
Edited:
The technology was bad back then but I have to say Beksinski.

My mom will change the lighting so that people don't look human. Also when taking out red eye, she makes people look bloodshot and alien-like. And she's a great artist, she's got her art in resorts all over Florida and all over America, but yet with Photoshop... I don't know how that works.
