Last artist standing, where procrastinators go to die.
>>2358102
again, you people who keep thinking its cool to wait till the very end. you will drop like flies.
>>2358102
This shit is fucking amazing
Whoever you are I hope you make it dude.
>>2358102
Nice.
>>2358016
I didn't notice that before but I've been uploading everything from imgur so I don't know why it only happened just to that one.
>>2358021
I wasn't trying to submit anything right now, I already had my submission in. I was asking about this hours ago when I was submitting it and never got a response - see >>2357271 (You) Now that I've seen more submissions go up with it looking like nobody else was having that problem, I decided to ask again now that lava's actually awake and here.
Well, as a member of Forza I guess it's time to submit for today, now!
I can't wait until everyone else is eliminated, I plan to claim my throne on LAS with tumblr style artwork of pony OCs
>>2358114
>thinking its cool to wait till the very end
if only that was the reason
this shit is gay. i thought we were suppose to be learning to draw not see who ends up staying here the longest. if anything everyone is probably more concentrated on anything other than learning to draw.also, this doesnt stop procrastination, if you cant get past procrastination youre already a lost cause.
>>2358118
Rover?
>>2358122
This challenge has helped me a lot since for some weird reason it feels 100x worse to not submit something to the site than just not drawing for a day and since I can see the quality of the other submissions I'd feel even worse for submitting something I didn't really put effort in.
If it wasn't for this challenge I wouldn't have drawn anything in the last 2 weeks.
>>2358122
I'm pretty sure it was established early on in these threads that the idea of the challenge to be last artist standing had no real award, not even having a bigger e-peen (hence in the OP Grand Prize : jack dick).
It's suppose to be self-improvement/community advice, but since there's no critique/low-effort reporting systems in place, we're left with shit-posting. I don't think anyone is actually serious about "going the distance" by having sketched everyday and winning absolutely nothing
>>2358127
youre going to make a bad habit.
>>2358122
It's literally called 'last artist standing', bro
In any case having something to lose by not drawing for a day other than just my dignity has already made me practice more consistently
If you don't want to play, don't.
>>2358133
dont call me bro.
my point was, this "voluntary challenge" is retarded and the only people who think this keeps them focused in drawing, are the same people who cant think for themselves.
>>2358117
what's your username? i searched for the one from last post and I couldn't find it. and is this the image you tried to submit? http://i.imgur.com/Mwko9YP.jpg?1

>> It's suppose to be self-improvement/community advice, but since there's no critique/low-effort reporting systems in place, we're left with shit-posting. I don't think anyone is actually serious about "going the distance" by having sketched everyday and winning absolutely nothing
Yeah, cause there's a ton of things that still need implementing it's kinda unfair to judge what people do with it
>>2358138
KiarasKuro and yes that's the one.
>>2358122
I've gone from drawing once or twice a month with no motivation to over an hour every single day because of this.
You're taking the jokes in the threads way too seriously.

Then why are you here? You do know a forum is a form of social media? Considering you came into a thread you supposedly had no interest in just to let everyone know how oh so very disinterested you are in it, I'd say you eat a bowl of Salty (You)'s every morning for breakfast.
>>2358152
>going to art school
Toppest of keks
So that's why you're so upset.
>>2358152
Great, now that it's out of your system you can leave.
>>2358152
Good on you
>>2358122
>i thought we were suppose to be learning to draw
Fucking retard there are countless of other threads on this board that focus on improving yourself. We've already had many members myself included who've noticed the positive effects of doing this challenge.
"learning how to draw", are you for real? It's something you need to figure out by yourself not by the help of a single challenge. You're not making any bit of sense.
>>2358130
>>2358137
>people who cant think for themselves
From someone getting triggered over something completely unrelated to them it's big. End your life.
>>2358155
You dont have to go to art school to know what its like, in the 21st century.
>>2358154
This is an anonymous forum. I think you forgot that bit. I come here to laugh at the mistakes you teens/young adults do only end up at a dead end. Then when you hit your limit you create a thead to seek for guidance."guys I cant do this anymore, pls motivate me again".
>>2358157
>>2358158
baka desu senpai
>>2358166
so you're here to drag everyone else down into your failure?, The fact that others are making some sort of an effort bothers you?
>>2358165
Judging by the first paragraph. I think you were too angry to realize what you were replying to. Cool down next time you quote.
Actually your entire reply is incoherent and youre just angry because youre a victim like everyone in here.
A victim of not improving and seeking stupid guidance like these threads ;-)

i forgot to set this new thread to auto-update so I thought this guy
>>2358122
>>2358128
>>2358137
>>2358152
killed the thread because i wasn't seeing any new updates but it's nice to see everyone standing up for the challenge. i don't know what to say to someone who thinks a friendly competition somehow inhibits free thinking. i can't see the cause and effect to connect those dots
he is right about the lack of moderation tools, though, and they're next on the list. i'm finishing up my team forza submission then the following system will go live later tonght. after that it's the report system and then i'll start working on topics.
>>2358140
It looks like you still have your token, that your picture was submitted and that you're still active in the challenge. Was being the eliminated the issue or was it something else? If it was with the auto-thumbnail generation then odds are it's because of the ?1 at the end of the url. It's easy enough to strip query strings and separators like that from URLs but it would have to wait until I update the thumbnail system since all the possible submission options makes it a little complicated
>>2358189
Ah okay. It was no worry of missing the deadline since it was hours before then, I was just wondering why all of a sudden it was requiring a thumbnail when it hadn't before. It's fine though, I ended up making that eye thumbnail to use if it comes up again. I can just reuse the same thumbnail right?
>>2358208
id like to say no since it's better for the gallery if the thumbnail represents either the artist or the art inside it but you can technically use the same thumbnail for every submission. if you strip the ?1 when linking to a submission it'll generate on for you through so no worries
bricoms missile tits are coming along
>>2358215
Okay, I'll try removing that from the link if it has it again. I know we're supposed to not be lazy, but I really don't want to have to manually make a new thumbnail every time.
do you just upload 30 minutes of any type of drawing daily?
Who a are you guys rooting for right now?
I like your stuff 2study. Keep at it!
>>2358218
I liked the color choice more when it was still impressionistic. I still don't like the texture at all and now the color and rendering just kind of looks like any photo study. Plus now the boobs look more like balloons than flesh. It's a development, though not in a direction I care for.
>>2358230
Suraz
I am him though.
Other than me, pretty much everyone i guess.
>>2358230
Hi 2study
>>2358230
you faggots better root for yourselves, I am gonna execute every last one of you.
>>2358229
yep! everyday forever, deadline is 00:00 GMT
>>2358221
you dont have to make a thumbnail you can just select the same image that you uploaded to your blog or whatever and the site will resize and crop it for you (if you decide to link directly to your blog instead of the image file.) no need to do any photo manipulation to make a special thumbnail. it should only take a couple extra clicks to select the file
>>2358230
>please say my name
Fuck off m8
>>2358231
thats funny, I like it for all the reasons you dont.
How can I know if I was eliminated? on my dashboard it says that I'm an entrant in the Last Artist Standing #2 but I've been submitting every day.
>>2358241
aw shucks, thanks.

No anon, Lava did not but show you the way.
You are the hero you need. You always have been.
>>2358264
>>2358270
kinda? i guess that's not glaring though. as long as there's no hidden dicks in my drawings i count it as a win
>>2358284
heresy!
>>2358241
What's really funny is that you seem to always magically be around to stroke Brian's ego immediately after someone criticizes his stuff, immediately after they post. What a funny coincidence that you seem to always be where Brian is at the exact same time, hah, weird.
>>2358356
CONSPIRACY?
>>2358356
> hah, weird
hahaha do u think brian gets embarassed when he gets calld out on this haha im just curios
>>2358356
it could be that that was brian saying he liked his own work for the same reasons the op didn't. no samefagging, just fagging
>>2358368
Brian's reply >>2358261 of thanks would seem to indicate that they're two different people though and whenever I see his biggest fan posting, I usually see Brian reply to him like that. Obviously they're separate posters. It's just funny how well his fan is able to keep track of him on this anonymous board, even when entirely new topics show up and Brian hasn't really visibly posted in these threads. I just find it interesting is all. But it's neither here nor there, we'll never know how they do it so let's move on.
>>2358379
ooh i see what you mean now
>>2358183
Kek, wageslave. I inherited my wealth and company, i just draw for fun. I laugh at miserable lives that try to get some satisfaction out of putting others down only to go back to their sad reality at the end of the day.
I swear to god I don't understand the rationale of people on DA sometimes.
I am almost absolutely sure there are people who favorite work en-masse in the new submissions page. And I don't get it.
yo vma that thumbnail looks like a dude giving a bj
>>2358433
i favorite almost everything submitted to the challenge
>>2358437
can confirm the only thing that guy's smokin is pole
>>2358438
Good thing I stopped posting to DA
>>2358438
Alright then. Two people favorited my shit oval exercise. That means either good or bad things for you.
Because the question remains, are you this guy:
http://carlos-mp.deviantart.com/
Or this guy?
http://lordtrigonstar.deviantart.com/
>>2358443
no but that's super common on social media. Both of the people you linked have 2k pages of favorites so what they do is favorite literally everything so people cant a notification that hey x favorited your shit in hopes that you'll return the favor or watch their page.
it costs them nothing and it's essentially free advertising
>>2358445
> 2k pages of favorites
what the fuck
But yeah, that makes sense.
Come to think of it, why is ConceptArt so fucking shit at web programming in comparison? The community is twenty times better than DA, but if DA can handle thousands of people with 2k fucking pages of favorites and load in half a second, why can't CA.org make their pages load at all (and when they do load, it looks like fucking cluttered bullshit)?
Shit drives me up the fucking wall. At least /ic/ works just fine.
>>2358449
ok well i didn't know see ayy dot org linked to cocaine anonymous ignore that bit for now
i'm talking about conceptart.org
>>2358449
the site was cobbled together over the years and it's a slowly dying piece of garbage run by someone who doesn't have the knowledge to fix it. i used to post there 3-4 times per week but after months of the page loading maybe 60% of the time I gave up. i wanted to be a part of that community but it seems to be dying (or the unreliability is killing it)
Praise Satan for artistic gains
>>2358494
tripfag ruined it, 667 now
>>2358502
Here I was, hoping no one would post for 2 days in order to preserve Satanic trips.
Way to ruin my master plan, tripfag.
>tfw losing the interest to make art
>tfw its over before it even began
I'm curious, what are your motivations to keep making art? At this point, I'm just drawing until I get inspiration knowing that somewhere down the line I may regret not going through with it
>>2358514
to win LAS
>>2358517
well that too, been in it since day 1, but when I draw I get depressed
>>2358524
Sounds like you got a case of being a pussy
>>2358514
I'm having quite a lot of fun despite my stuff being shite, the fact that I am currently drawing every day I don't take for granted. Lava has managed to rekindle my eagerness and passion, and I get to draw alongside someone else, this is fun.
>>2358514
>>2358524
Sit down and figure out what you really want to do with art. Make a study guide and use LAS as a means to that end. Even if you're just a hobbyist for now, drawing every day will keep your skills sharp in case you do decide to jump in balls deep.
Personally I joined because I want to animate but my drawing isn't where I want it to be. I've been trying to improve, but drawing always takes a backseat to animation exercises. Keeping up with you faggots is forcing me to study seriously.
anyone else have a "post it all" policy and cringe when you go back and look at what you posted? i want to right a disclaimer on everything i post that i know it's garbage but i dont want people to think im fishing for compliments
>>2358544
This, I'm sorry for subjecting you guys to it
>>2358514
To dedicate my life to a craft, reach the pinnacle, give purpose to my life. Achieve happiness and die knowing that I strived for perfection and earned the title of master through effort and pain, enduring the desert of despair.
>>2358556
That's pretty damn poetic
>>2358566
Yes, but it is truly what I want to do. I've given up wealth, having a gf, vidya and procastination. Art is taking over my life m8.
>>2358579
I can respect that. It's funny how a few years ago all I could think about was girls and sex and video games, now I don't allow for much in my life that inhibits me from being the best possible version of myself.
>>2358588
We're all in this together. WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT GODDAMNIT
I used to hate still lifes, now I still do but I force myself to do them.

KEK
Thumbnails in artist page when? It's painful to click on every url of an artist whose submission i like
>>2358604
Hmm there's no way to show the timestamp with the current gallery. You're right that it should be in there but I can't think of a quick way to move the code over from the submissions gallery.
that's partly a lie. it'd only take maybe 10 minutes to do but there's a bug on the page that kills all javascript except for the user tables and I haven't had the time to figure it out yet. I'll add it to the to-do list.
ps: if you use middle click on links you can open links in a new window without losing focus on the current window. this way you can open them all at once then close your way through them.
k you can now follow people by going to their profiles and clicking follow beside their name. submissions of artists you follow appear at the top of the submissions page. also, you can view who you're currently following on your profile (there's now a shortcut to your profile in the top right corner where settings and logout is.)
you can't currently follow users directly from the submissions page since doing it right (using ajax so the page doesn't reload) takes the site down a road I don't want to go down just yet.
actually I'll add it tonight. i've been putting off bringing the site into the 21st century but I'll need to before i can implement the report and notification systems so bear with me while I get it updated
>>2358704
Thanks a bunch lava
>>2358704
Thanks, Lava! I hope you're taking breaks from drawing and coding, though.
>>2358704
I dunno if it's such a good idea to have it so the followed submissions are on the top because once you follow all the good people there's not much reason to scroll down anymore
>>2358704
Quick, someone post that picture of the cat giving a thumbs up for me.
>>2358721
You have to earn the place in the followed section. Atleast for me im gona check the lower half occasionally to see if anyone's worthy of my follower section
>>2358704
oh shit
>>2358721
That's a good point, maybe a filter you can toggle on an off, of which "Favorites" is one of them (or a separate page)?
what about making the people who have the most favorites be at the top for everyone :^)
>>2358796
Brian pls go suck yourself elsewhere, we're not going to enable your exhibitionism.
>>2358514
Easy. I don't need motivation to make art. If you wait for motivation or inspiration, you'll never have consistency. Painting is my job, my hobby, and my love. I can approach it with different mindsets but I'll never burn out.
>>2358704
Maybe don't show an empty submission for the people you follow but haven't submitted today yet? Or is it intended
>>2358714
yes... take a nice 24 hour break...
Aw can't we have it so we can see who's following us I wanna know if senpai has noticed me

>>2359056
I've done this after 12 hours of work easily while high. I don't touch my documents while high anymore and I save regularly.
Maybe we could have a follower count leaderboard.
>>2359109
I dont know man, how easy it is to make accounts and follow yourslef?
>>2359109
that's probably the worst idea yet
>>2359109
Keeping the followers private is the best idea yet. Make a blog if you want to know who or how many people are following you and leave the popularity bullshit out of this.

Uh yeah that shouldn't happen, my bad I'll fix that now.
No follow counts ever for the reason >>2359131 the only thing you will ever compete over is who drew the longest and who participated the most because they incentivize you drawing every day (and, I'll admit, using the site)
if i add follow count then people have an incentive to start appealing to people instead of focusing on improving. i'd rather see the gallery full of studies and gestures over steven universe nsfw fanart.
obviously people can do whatever they want regardless of the site but what the site encourages matters too

>>2359277

Same. I've had an experience with two of those players in different campaigns. You just need to have the balls to tell them to fuck off if they're being tha/tg/uy. It's called that for a reason though, one out of every few people will actually be tha/tg/uy. If you balance being stern about rules plus having certain actions (I.E murder hoboing) have weight in your world and just having a lot of fun and being adaptive to your players play style, good players will stick.

there are sites online that can help you find a group. i consider myself a normie and my experience was pretty great considering i had found a group of strangers to play D&D with on a random online forum (had moved to a new city alone, feeling ttrpg nostalgia from a misspent youth.)
the whole group was like standard d&d tropes. dm was super tryhard and an artist so he made maps and drew characters, the funny guy was a baker and brought free food, the min/maxer worked in IT at some bank and we met at the nerd cave of some NEET with rich parents. group was great until a she-beast joined, the queen bee of the anime club type, and she tried to make everything about her. bailed shortly after that

It ALWAYS happens. No matter how time you spend on something, if your players are average roleplayers they are going to go in a straight line like fucking murderhobos.

What is this, the early 2000's?

>>2359414
everyone shows up on the submissions page. the only difference with followed artists, that you follow, is so they show up at the top so you can keep an eye on your favorites and/or people you think are going places. they're only at the top because you put them there and it doesn't affect what other people see
Guys, don't follow Rover.
Seriously, don't.
>>2359395

so how many more days until people stop posting art? Just imagining all the autism that site holds makes me queezy. I bet every post will be word art saying "rover"

Yeah, but these threads are remade at page 8-9 to avoid spamming /ic/ which is naturally slow.
Probably people lurking waiting for a new thread, since we're not supposed to make a new one till the current thread hits page 8 or 9.
>>2359820
not saying we need a new thread yet, just that it's another reason why it's slow
>>2359822
i was reading something from tehmeh and he said that you're wasting your time if you only ever study and draw from reference, that he wished he had started working from imagination years earlier. thoughts?
i originally planned to git gud then start drawing what i want but im finding more and more people saying that you need to be bad to get good
>>2359834
Honestly, there's just so much information out there that I'm not sure.
I'm just going to keep doing my beginner studies until I get to a certain degree of comfort then branch into imagination. Problem with drawing from imagination is that I have no idea how to start (is it Fun with a Pencil?).
>>2359836
you probably have an end game right? try it, whether it's drawing cute anime girls or painting spaceships or whatever. you'll fucking suck at it but as long as you're not retarded you'll learn something you're bad at and need to improve at
if you never fail then you won't know what to improve at
>>2359848
...
draw and write a fantasy webcomic, complete with rich lore, six fantasy races, a lush open world with pipe dreams of getting an "adult animation" block on some channel television or something or at the very least do a very competently executed independent animation series to go along with it
> middle of the road goal is draw a lot of fanart but fuck that i have studies to do
I fucking know how far I have to go. But I feel like, if I don't get my fundamentals right, I'm shooting myself in the foot before i begin. If I dive into making stuff without understanding the bare foundation of form and construction, I'm a toddler doing finger painting. It amounts to no learning.
>>2359856
you're gonna burn yourself out if all you do is studies, draw shit you actually like on the side, you don't need to show it to anyone if you're preoccupied about the quality.
>>2359859
Either it hasn't kicked in yet, or I have some sort of odd psychosis because I actually find that I'm enjoying my studies.
I'm measuring proportions of a cup (I suck at proportions) and I'm having an absolute blast. Although maybe I haven't hit the point where it gets really really agonizing.
See, I tend to avoid drawing the stuff I like because it makes me all the more aware of how far away I am from the goal and demoralizes me. If I study, it provides me with the comfort that I KNOW I'm taking the steps necessary to become a good artist. I have no emotional attachments to the studies, so they're free to be as shit as they want, so long as I absorbed the lessons I need.
>>2358074
Hey, LavaFlake. I Double submitted today, because I didn't submit yesterday, but the website only registered one of the submissions. I just want to know if I'm still in the game and if it's just some kind of bug. My account name is "shitfingers" btw
>>2359861
studies are comforting. people say theyre boring but it feels good to do them because theyre like these little goals you set for yourself that are easily achievable. it's hard to "fail" at a study and even when you do there's no real emotional attachment to it.
if you enjoy studies then go do some drawing from imagination. try you best to make something that's only you, that truly represents you as an artist and then feel like killing yourself when it's garbage
hopefully you feel that way because the fuck the guys who only what to draw from their imagination, only produce shit and say studies are boring. the people who are happy with where they are are the never-gonna-make-its

did you get any error messages when you tried to submit? what's the second link you tried to submit?
>>2359861
I'm kinda the same, only because drawing from reference is super easy. Basically when you draw from reference i'll know where I fucked up and can fix it. Drawing from imagination leads to me fucking everything up. Especially with heads and faces. Everything I can vaguely sorta say they come out right but heads and faces are had to draw from different angles. Yes I know I should reference but even with reference I still fuck up drawing a head from imagination. I won't have any idea where I went wrong which is why I don't do it too often.
Yeah…I won't make it will I?

Hey, LavaFlake? This is going to sound faggy as shit but I'm slightly drunk so here goes anyway.
I really want to thank you for putting this shit up. There was so much I wanted to achieve as far as art goes, but I haven't practiced consistently ever since three years ago. Always just drew a thing or two and gave up for another month. It wasn't that I disliked drawing; it was just breaking through the barrier of constantly judging my own work unproductively that stopped me every time. I had intended to start up again, but with this as an impetus, I rediscovered how much I enjoy this shit. I've gone from drawing for twenty minutes every other month to consistently practicing two or three hours every day (and I want to bump that time up even more). More than that, I feel weird, unsatisfied and even a little itchy if I DON'T draw. I've never had that before. I've never felt the NEED to draw.
Maybe it'll end in a year. Maybe it'll end by next month. Maybe I'll achieve everything I dreamed about. Wherever I do end up, I want to sincerely thank you for it.
I'm heading off to bed. Going to remove this large cock from my mouth beforehand, sorry for being such a faggot.
>>2359962
That could make a great troll waking up from a nap ref.
I was over in the porn thread and after spending so much time in the LAS threads I forgot how fucking shitty this place can be. Now I know why people come in and call this place a tugfest. Everyone's so nice. All we get here are people wishing each other dead
>>2359972
I think what I like about this thread is that it's just shared motivation (sometimes in the form of joke assassinations and humorous goading of each other to miss the deadline). It's less about the work itself (until we get crits up), and more about adhering to productivity. Nobody here is claiming to be an expert but advice is given. It's hard to get cocky here, because followers are hidden and all compliments are from beginners/intermediates hungry to follow in others' footsteps. And it's not a circlejerk (yet, please don't let it sink that far), because we'll still call people out on shit.
These threads have been simultaneously the most fun and productive. There's no pissing contest, because it's about consistent work not quality/followers. There's no serious arguments because our egos aren't on the line. All that's here is a mutual drive to keep on improving ourselves.
God I hope this lasts.

a lot of people shit on the challenge and say that there will only be 30 people left after a couple months. i wouldn't be surprised if there are only 30 left in the original challenge but I hope the eliminated don't give up.
i mean, sure, it would be great if they joined a new challenge and kept going but since there have been so many stories about how the challenges motivate them when they usually struggle without it. it'd suck if they get eliminated then leave both the site and, most importantly, art behind.
i'm going to add to the to-do list that the challenges page should show a breakdown of challenge participants. people who were eliminated and came back, people joining for the first time, people who are in previous challenges and the eliminated. maybe people will be more inclined to rejoin if they see that being eliminated isn't the end of the world and that others didn't give up

The auto-imposed rule of not making new threads for this is retarded. It'll take days for this thread to fall off the last page, during which people have to hunt for it in the catalog. And what's bumping it down is bait like "tumblr art style", "tablet thread", art feels and tumblr whoring.

Charcoal's actually pretty forgiving up until you work the surface too much. I've made very clean charcoal drawings, but the strength of the medium is how much much you can draw, erase, and redraw to give depth, in my opinion.
The only drawback is the powder and mess it makes, personally.

I'd say the main downside is the horrible texture/vibration and sound as you draw with it.
Sets my teeth on edge just thinking about it. Nope.

I bought mine locally, but you can probably find it online. would be a little more expensive but still a good bang for your buck.
Should be easy to find though.

I got rid of that feel by enduring it. Just breathe in and out and embrace the sound and feel. It's like scraping your nails on a blackboard. I used to hate that but now I feel nothing
>>2360361
There are artists who draw decomposing carcasses who don't even notice the absolutely repulsive smell and the parasites due to their absolute dedication to their study.

This is great, I'm having fun drawing again and feel super productive clearing out my tv backlog at the same time. I'm gonna need some new series soon, if only I could multi-task things with subtitles.

imgur tells you.

>tfw views steadily decreased from over 100 to less than 10 over the week
>>2361006
>>2360992
If you post the "direct link" image url rather than just "link", it won't tell you how many views and also people that click that link aren't taken to a page that also shows your ingur username etc, they're just taken to the image.
Be kind to yourself, use the direct link and skip all that ego bullshit. If anyone had anything important to say about your work they would say it in these threads.
>>2361010
I'm not but views would still be nice.
>>2361011
I post the direct link but I can still see the views from my profile.
>>2361014
Working on my photocopier abilities. Can't really draw shit without ref
>>2361018
Well I'll be fucking damned, you're right.
I wish I didn't know that, I'll probably have to swap upload service now because I'll start to get obsessed.
>>2361029
Sorry anon, pretend you didn't read it.
>>2361011
That's usually what i do anon, but this time i posted more than one picture so i cant post direct link and now i can't stop myself from checking the fucking views

Alright, either no one's tagging their nsfw or the warning thumbnail isn't working.

Feels good.
>>2361079
the thumbnail isn't working
>>2361080
Rover?
>>2361082
Nope youre right it's not working I'll take a look at it once the site rolls over. I'll add a divider between followed artists and the rest as well
time's up
7 eliminated
6 tokens used
I think the first time more people were eliminated than tokens used. Maybe we're running low on casuals to weed out? We'll need more data
Team Forza
well shit, the front page doesn't show nsfw and the previous page is nothing but nsfw

i want to know if anyone has posted at 23:59:59. if rover is the captain of team forza then we need to find the leader of the 23:30 club
I'm getting some kind of weird glitch or something on the submissions pages. The current submissions show up fine, but when I press previous day, everything shows up as NSFW thumbnails.
>>2361113
if you were in for the long haul you'd be on team forza

The site will go down before we ever get to see the winner.
it seems that Loomis's ramblings have gotten even more incoherent
his horrible penmanship doesn't help
>>2361195
We're watching his descent into madness in real time. Soon his entries will be scanned drawings fingerpainted with his own feces.
>>2361216
Wait, so if I take an excruciatingly long and painful 30 minute dump onto a canvas, does that count as an entry?
>>2361217
Only if you arrange the pieces into the letters LOOMIS.

Thanks /ic/. There's no way I'd be drawing right now if it weren't for this damn challenge.

k there's now a divider between followed artists submissions and the rest and you can toggle whether or not you want to move followed artists to the top
being able to follow artists directly on the submissions page is next on the list along with being able to open submissions with middle click. I'll try to have it ready for tomorrow
>>2361345
I want comments
>>2361349
No.
Nobody is leaving comments on your art.
>>2361351
But that's exactly what I want
>>2361353
Then get the shit off this anonymous image board and go to tumblr or dA, or at least post in the fucking drawthread or some shit where people actually do that. Damn.
gonna lay this blogshit no one's gonna care because the threads dead anyway

god please kill me i just wanted to git gud and practice four hours a day
>>2361356
Why does the site have the options for them then?
>>2361360
Just get your school shit together if you're so close anon. You'll have time to git gud in a few months with hopefully no academic regrets.
>>2361366
I can't do that.
I've always told myself that I've been meaning to get better at art, get better at it, get better get better but this time I actually started doing this. Consistently. Which has never happened before.
This means something to me. I can't just let it go. I need to start now, and hit the ground running, while I still have the vitality and drive to change myself.
>>2361367
you are exaggerating a bit, you are super young, finish school, git gud later.
>>2361360
>>2361367
you can do it anon. dont stress over the class until you see what they actually want you to do. maybe the teacher is a softie and their idea of a hard class won't be that bad
>>2361361
>lowest priority
>literally says maybe? at the end
>>2361360
If there's a member of staff you can talk to about this, talk to them immediately.
Tell them that when you applied for the course it wasn't clear how demanding it is, and that you know that it's going to impact on your other classes and mental health (I don't care how embarrassed you are to say it, because it will) and you know for a fact that your grades will be lower than predicted if you can't attend instead *list several courses you think you can manage*.
Even if you know those courses are full, tell this to every single faculty member you can speak you, and don't let them say 'See how it goes'. Tell them you want to move course ASAP before it "impacts further on your studies".
Somewhere there should be a faculty member that will be willing to pull some strings and squeeze you into a course in order to keep the grades higher.
Worst case scenario, you tried your best. It doesn't matter how low you stoop to beg, you aren't going to see those staff when you graduate.
>>2361372
Or git gud now and finish school later
>>2361361
>>2361373
I'm pretty sure it was in the other thread that we had the discussion of the site turning into dA/tumblr if we got comments.
I voted that we should have the option of putting our works up for critique but if you didn't, no one could write anything about it.
If people made an actual effort to write real critiques and not dick-sucking/unhelpful "need loomis", on top of the low-effort voting, a lot of people would make real gains.
>>2361372
>>2361373
>>2361376
I think I may have found a substitute class that may be helpful at the job I'm in while not being an absolute bitch.
And yeah, I was downright ready to grovel and beg a bit. My advisor is actually quite a laid back person but the administration that are a rung above him have absolutely no patience for anything outside the rules.
I keep getting told that I'm still super young but for me, if I can't watch cartoons and draw stupid pictures of them without being chided by the average person, that's not exactly young to me, or at least not the kind of young that I have a fondness for (and I confess to that being one of many motives why I want to do this).
I've seen people in high school do great things with art because they had been doing it all their life. And I had similar ambitions and other non-art related dreams as a kid that kept getting pushed away by my own laziness and only now has it really dawned on me how much time I've wasted. I couldn't make the things I wanted to within that realm of highly social, ambitious, optimistic and impressionable stage of youth, from which I could transition into making something inherently meaningful in adulthood.
That's why it's so important for me to start now. I can't let any more time slip by. I don't want to regret anything anymore. I know this is melodramatic, naive and stupid as fuck, but this is how I've always felt.
but fuck this sob story
its about gitting the gud

ugh, time to do this shit again

nope
>>2361405
it has autosave settings and temp files for continuing a save, but mine was an entirely new file and searching Google says I'm shit out of luck.
fuckit, I'm going to work on mspaint or something.
Hery Lava, I just started work on a really big peace
I take it I can't post my progress each day? I can only post it once?
>>2361443
Yep they're allowed
>>2361443
You're allowed to post wips/progress updates but they have to look like you spent at least 30 mins on them
>>2361373
Could we maybe have comments only be visible to the OP? So if someone has something to say you'll know and people wont mindlessly shit post for attention?
>>2361452
>all these people baiting with fake thumbnails
>I click to see shit art
>>2361006
probably because of the thumbnails
>>2361386
I second this, but the critiques should only be visible to the guy who asks for them kinda like a direct message.
Wow how did I miss Louise's posts
