/las/ Last Artist Standing - Heroes & Villians Edition

FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?

>The original developer of the site has taken a leave for quite a while, originally due to medical reasons. Progress on the site is almost non-existant at this point. You can try contacting him at @LavaFlake or emailing him at [email protected].

What do we draw?

>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.

What's a low effort warning?

>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.

>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.

What happens if I'm eliminated?

>Your streak will go back to 0 and you will have to start again. No other penalties.

How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?

>There is no week system anymore, instead new users are given "streaks" based on the number of consecutive days you can submit without getting eliminated. (token losses do not reset your streak)

Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?

>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

I'm not really upset with the challenge, but I am with my inability to produce anything worthwhile and original.

For me it's mindwracking to come up with something that works. I don't want to release things just to meet a quota, and I am already pretty well behind so this thing is going to take as long as it is going to take - and some of it might not be in order.

>>2993703
I try not to fall behind and submit something every day but I can't even make a complete drawing so all I end up submitting are sketches.

And I don't have any ideas at all anymore.

>>2993708
I can come up with ideas all the time, I just can't execute them properly :(

i never stopped, boys

>>2993719
streak dies when u submit next, cause lava is too shit to make it kill streaks automatically

>>2993719
Wouldn't even surprise me if S4 was a god at drawing as well, seems like everything he touches he's good at.

Gonna have to start over with the daily challenge, figure I might as well stick with a theme. Things got a bit more exciting for me now.

Lava: You've got a problem. You've pushed the lemur too hard, the server's unplugged, that means the website's now offline!
NicNac: Captain.
Lava: The website's broken!
NicNac: Captain. No one get hurt, and you don't play no game.
Lava: Aherr... it's... the website's broken! I-It... It had to go-
NicNac: Nobody gets hurt. Easy.
Lava: We g-
NicNac: HEY! Look at me.

Why aren't you drawing?

>>2993894
2 minutes out of my day, think of the drawings I could've done!

Should I try streaming? Sounds fun, but I'm no pro

Do you think Choob regrets dropping out to play Breath of the Wild?

>>2993904
Figuring if I should stream myself, would give some incentive to stay consistent and work without distractions. Although I am shit at art and cant speak English.

>>2993907

Hmm, it would be pretty nice if we had the possibility to vote on new topics. People could propose a topic, then others could vote it to pass.

I know, i am screaming into a empty valley. But people can hope, eh?

>>2994061
Have you tried emailing Lava at [email protected] yet?

I just looked at art I drew back in 2012 and it doesn't feel like I improved at all, please just kill me already

>>2994093
Have you got a progress chart?

>>2994099
I have considered making one, but I've seen enough progress threads to assume I'd get no usable feedback

>>2994112
It's about the bragging tho, unless you are jerry or finlay.

>>2994116
I thought I was improving but just really slowly
If anything: I've learnt how to draw from life with some proficiency. I certainly couldn't do that 160 days ago when I joined

How long into las did you lassies start noticing improvements in your art? What's the ratio of studies you draw compared to art done for fun?

>>2994152
>start noticing
I-I'll get back to you on that...

You guys are going about it the wrong way, if you don't notice improvements over a month's time, make serious adjustments, you don't just wait for improvement to happen.

>>2994152
Every day, with or without las, only art for fun.

>>2994158
This

Seriously, if you've been going at it for any sort of long period of time and, upon comparison to older works, you don't notice any improvement, there is something very wrong with how you're practising.

>>2994152
about 500 days later I feel a slight improvement

>>2994158
I'm seeing improvements but very slight ones and in some areas I've gotten worse, because I haven't been practicing

Repetition is important

>>2994152
5% studies 95% fun
I need to kick myself for that because I know I'll see a improvements if I just take the time and work on my weak areas

>>2993650
should we increase the trehold for old lassies?
i.e. once you reach streak 100 you now have to invest an hour drawing instead of just 30 min

>>2994170
I know this feel

>>2994172
D:

>>2994172
but what about those who don't have enough time? I have days where I'm glad I get to draw at all

>>2994172
No.

I think tokens need to changed to a system in which they could be earned though. Sometimes shit happens and one day isn't enough

It would suck to keep a flawless streak for year and lose it all, longer streaks = more tokens saved or something.

>>2994179

Not having enough time is an excuse.
Not gonna make it.

>>2994184
I've injured myself several times in the last 500 days, and being able to ease back from my three hours to 30-60 minutes let me keep working while recovering.

>>2994184
I have to get up at 5.30 am for university and have to head straight to work afterwards and usually don't get home until 10pm, you rusty garbage can. I'm already trying to draw as much as I can, but I need to sleep.

>>2994061
Noted.

>>2994186
unless you're some kind of athlete I don't see how you can be injuring yourself so often.

>>2994198
I have RSI problems from a decade of bad computer ergonomics. I do lots of stretches and exercises and try to rest when possible, but the damage is there and flares up every now and then. Luckily I don't have the pain like others do (so far), but lots of inflammation, burning, and occasionally weakness or numbness.

>>2994203
LMAO are you serious?

>>2994171
>>5% studies 95% fun
>tfw 100% studies 0% fun
heeeelllllppppp!

>>2994206
Yes :\

Perhaps it should be
Draw every OTHER day or something

I think Draw every WEEK is a bit weak.

Perhaps rather than focussing on simply drawing everyday there is a task to say "Draw 50 landscape studies by the 23th of June" Each drawing gives points, users can choose to take on as many of these challenges as they like to get the most points and have the leaderboard be based on points.

Also perhaps a mandatory challenge of drawing every day or every other day

>>2994223

I don't care

YOU MUST FIND BALANCE

Why are people expecting noticeable progress with a few hours a week dedicated to your craft? Or like improving drawing from imagination without actually trying?

Your studies are close to worthless unless you apply them.

I just draw for fun and only study when I'm stuck at something. Like how a certain plant looks or how a limb looks from a certain angle.

That was one of the LASers who looked like a troll account because of the creepy symbol drawn people and pony shit. Each time he asked for help he ignored the advice and kept doing the same thing while moaning about being shit, so he was assumed to be a troll and booted.

I do furries from imagination, but I keep it a secret. I just post studies and life drawings.

>>2994394
I post furries, most of my studies and life drawings are a secret :^)

>>2994339

I feel bad for him, but he never fully completed any of the exercises that people told him to do. He just posted one and gave up immediately to draw ponies more. I don't think he's dumb, he's just busy or in an environment where he's discouraged from doing art. I'm in that situation and it's super tough because time feels sparse.

He should just copy an exercise with perfect accuracy in mind like Charles Bargue.

I had another bad day.

>>2994152
I find observational drawing enjoyable so not sure which direction to put that soo... 100% fun :3

>>2994378
Yeah if your a faggot. Unless you're drawing a minimum of 8 hours a day then maybe, but bu then you would have built up some balls, and endurance.

Somebody like Choob for example is in no place to complain about wrist pain from drawing, hes just a bitch.

>>2994596
nah, just death gripping, bad posture, genetic predisposition, previous history of injury, not taking enough breaks etc.

not the person you were replying to but my shit is wrecked too so I've had to reevaluate how I work since it clearly was not sustainable.

And yes I was drawing 8+ hours a day and then staying on the computer after.

>>2994596
>not straining a muscle or hurting a joint is just a matter of "balls"
You are disgustingly naive, but I hope you grow some empathy some other way than experiencing it for yourself.

You guys are talking about injuries that veteran/pro's get, its almost insulting to assume any of you have put in the amount of work it would take to be at that point. Berni Wrightson for example developed an allergy to nickel while working on his legendary Frankenstein plates.

Admit it fatso, you have gamer thumb from marathoning Breath Of The Wild.

>>2994604
I've gotten the injury and put in a large amount of time, not a "pro" though. you can fuck your shit up in a year, especially since half the people here are gamers already

>>2994604
>only veteran or pro artists strain a wrist or injure a joint
Just like how novice and casual athletes never injure themselves because only professionals do.

>>2994616
Exactly, but you power through that shit, man the fuck up and stop acting like bitches.

>>2994616
Its about building up strength in your hand and stamina, Choob complained about his elbow injury from leaning on it while he draws, that's pathetic.

>>2994620
That is how it gets worse.

>>2994623
thats how you git gud.

>>2994620
No you don't, you rest and rehab it and then you can get back to work. Strengthening can happen after recovery, but overdoing it before will just make things worse and worse until you don't have a choice in the matter.

>>2994624
I had to take a 4 month break, along with physical therapy because of that.

I see that the discussion has reached a new low.

>>2994627
You sound like a faggot. None of you have ever 'overdone' it. But keep this loser mindset, don't break your dainty thumb holding your oversized ergonomic pencil.

T-the depression is seeping back in, how do I stop it?

>>2994727
Talk with those who support you.

>>2994730
Can't

>>2994734
you don't have a qt imouto that believes you can make it?

>>2994727
Look at your diet, your routine, your sleep, the people you associate with, how much you go outside. Change the things you think aren't helpful. Also try some vitamins (depression can often be caused by vitamin deficiencies).

>>2994747
How do you even know when you have depression? It feels like if you aren't seriously incapacitated by it such as being stuck in bed and can't get out at all or you can't stay sane without meds, you don't have it. Is it possible to be mildly depressed?

>>2994752
For it to be diagnosed it would need to cause distress or interfere with your ability to integrate into society.


vague symptoms of mild depression would just be generally long periods of feeling lethargic or apathetic (I'm sure google can provide a better setup).

People in general have a natural eb and flow in their mood, whether its due to hormonal/chemical issues or being caused by outside stress.


I'm of the opinion that people are more often than not depressed because of unhealthy habits, or because of unhealthy worldviews.

It really becomes a problem if you still are depressed AFTER making all of the changes to your lifestyle and routine that commonly get recommended (adding daily exercise, healthy eating, etc.) OR if you find yourself unable to even have the discipline to make those changes. In those situations that is when you should definitely look into medical intervention.

If medical options are not viable, then looking into something like mindfulness meditation or Buddhism may be useful (a chunk of modern psychology parallels Buddhist philosophy)

P.S. idk wtf im talking about. take at your own risk and talk to a professional

What the fuck is going on with LAS currently?
Are we still using the old site? I heard someone made a new one, so why isn't there a link to it?
Where is Lava? Where are all the streamers?
I know the people haven't gone away, its still got roughly the same amount of people as when I left, the fuck has happened?

>>2994928

It's always a fleeting thing. It's a sign that you are learning and growing.
Should you ever find yourself liking everything you put out, be concerned.

>>2994974
Still using same website.
There is a new website being developed by a person called NicNac.
Lava has been gone for over half a year, leaving the website buggy as hell and halting all development, prompting the alternate website to be constructed.
People have gone away, as have a vast majority of the streamers, LAS still maintains a decent number of people because the numbers have been somewhat balanced and replaced by newcomers.
Finally, ROVER?????

>>2995002
Sorry, not rover. Ryderjax.
Is there any reason to come back?
I kinda miss LAS, then again in its current state if feels kinda dead.

>>2995043

>>2995002
Ah I remember you. The site is kinda dead atm but a decent amount of people still submit. Give it a shot and see how you like it.

>>2995626

Without notice, he stopped responding to anyone in the community through all methods of communication, and hasn't updated the website nor fixed any of the bugs since around about October/November-ish, there's a calendar somewhere.

i'm glad he's still drawing though. it's motivating. he should start practicing design stuff though.

>>2995599
I seriously doubt money's the hinderance for anyone if they wanted to host DED, it's probably more about knowing how. Hosting a small site like this wouldn't need much more than a micro amazon instance which is $0.014 per hour. 10 bucks a month would cover it, and that's something anyone can set up easily.

Some sites even offer garbage hosting for free, where they inject ads into your site, sell traffic data and other shady shit, which is what it sounded like nicnac is doing.

Best option imo is hosting it yourself, which is what I did, but it requires some know-how I guess. Doesn't cost anything except for the power to run it, and that's almost nothing. I couldn't tell the days apart from when i had DED live and before/after it. As per example, ded is live for nicnac to have a peek, even tho I know putting it up for a day wouldve be enough, and it's gonna be deserted for the next months time.

Btw opening a mail with saying you want a talk and then say nothing for a week gave me a chuckle nicnac. I'll say here what I said to you, since I think you've raised peoples expectations by even mentioning that you're working on it at this early stage. 2 hours a day is going to take you a fucking millennium to get anything substansial done that has the functionality that would improve upon lavas site and looks alright.

>>2995640
Honestly what the fuck is lava even doing..? This has to be one of the weirdest situations I have seen for a community. He's posting on las with you all, but he's refusing to interact in any way. I don't get it it at all. I definitely think he has a responsibility to interact with his userbase when he's keeping the site up. If he hated the community I don't know why he'd keep the site live for you all.

>>2995677
Lava is hardcore training, but he's a guy who can keep promises so LAS is still alive.

what other interesting things have happened? what about the day the discord was made?

>>2995712
I feel like that's the day Lava left. Discord was made not too shortly before and it killed the threads.

>>2995686
;)

>>2995714
Off the top of my head I remember back in the early days of LAS there was a lot of opposition to instant messenger chat rooms like skype, irc channels and discord. However while this was happening stream chats were already bridging the gap between LAS threads and chat rooms.
At some point SantiChasca started a Discord anyway for the heck of it, it kind of failed, but after that another one was made and had more prominent lassies from the stream chats join it, giving it a lot of staying power. Discord support overrided resistance, the Discord got officially linked to in the OPs, and it lives till today.

>>2995721
I guess, in a way, it maybe killed off the stream chats? At least it seems the conversations moved from them into the discord where are the regulars were already chatting in eitherway.

>>2995714
>>2995712
was there a lot of /pol/ shitposting?

Ok lassers, how much time do you have left to make it?

>>2995845
My whole life time. I get a feeling if I don't make it by 40, I would quit though.

>>2995845
A year or so.
Fuck I'm old.

>>2995845
same as >>2995846

>>2995845

i think i can make it though

>>2995845
2 hours and 35 minutes.

>>2995845
6 months

>>2995845
It's too late for me. Hit 20 y/o a few months ago, most people who are gonna make it are already good by now.

>>2995677
Look w, I know what you said and I've been busy with personal stuff, I'm a highschooler for gods sake, and I referenced 2 hours a day for once the school year starts up, this summer I can try to get 'something substantial done that has the functionality that would improve upon lavas site and looks alright.' Honestly at this point I'm just going to work on the site and release it when it's done, fuck any alpha testing or shit like that. I read your guys comments and I want to get what you guys want on the site, more importantly, to make a difference, so I'm just going to work on it and let people know its fuck finished when it is fuck finished. I need to stop using 4chan so much as well, so I see this as an opportunity to do so as well. I'll come back when it is done. The way that it turns out is the way that it turns out.

>>2995741

It was and has always been the other way around, considering that Choobposter is still here. The only thing closest to that was the art that Choob made about Brexit/Trump and those were only contained on the las site.

>>2995894
You're selling yourself short with that kind of mindset.
I think it's best to just focus on drawing, rather than your age or how much time you have wasted/left.

Still trying to figure out a weak enemy, ridiculously hard when I don't really have a direction. I like being pushed out of my comfort zone but I don't appreciate not knowing what to do. I feel like I cornered myself.

>>2995925
Remember every game you've ever played and what the first enemies were. Goblins, Slimes, Normal animals as opposed to monsters, regular humans, bugs/insects.

>>2995929
I am that guy who based my whole universe/idea around animals/critters being an essential part so this should be rather easy to be fair but I figure I need to mix it up a bit?

Good guys got their creatures but I need some opposing force but can't really think of one? If they were up against aliens or even humans they would be toast with their primal technology.

Please tell me I am overthinking it.

>>2995894

Kek fuck no.

I am 25 and i am not going to stop if some 15 year old autist savant can draw photorealistic sonic oc from their head. Maybe we who have struggled with their art will have easier time dealing with these problems in the future. Meanwhile the child prodigy that hadn't had any problems in their life will off themselves when meeting a bigger problem for the first time.

>>2995925
>>2995942

Fire Emblem used Axe-wielding bandits and Pirates to contrast with the Sword/lance-wielding knights and nobles. I guess you can do the opposite.

>>2995942
>Please tell me I am overthinking it.

If only I knew, I know I'm overthinking it, every time I get an idea I worry about it not fitting with the rest or the bigger story but I end up not really creating anything because I discard those ideas.
I try to stop doing that and just let everything fall on the paper as it pops in my head so I don't stagnate but I find that every creature now starts living in his own world if you get what I mean.

>>2994343
>>2995931
>Yea, I was actinfutility

>>2995959
I was thinking of giving each faction/tribe an animal theme to stick to, would for example riding on ants and using their carapace as armor be considered weird? It seems like I have to stick to somewhat the same era as far as the technology goes.
>>2995966
Oh how badly I can relate. I guess I just have to do my best to put it down on paper and discard it after if it doesn't suit me in the end, not before. :) Cheers mate.

Would a winner be spending every day writing autistic blog posts about how he broken up with his girlfriend?

>>2996058
Why not both?

>>2995994

It depends on the mechanics, but concept-wise? I would go for Naf, Nessiefynn, Vusta, and Seffy. Even if they turned out to be bad games, I would still purchase and play it because they break the mold of what I would expect in an rpg.

I don't think that anyone's concept are bad. I think that they're all pretty good, I just picked the ones that I liked the most because I don't see those types implemented IRL. I'm sorry if I unintentionally discouraged anyone, keep on drawing homies.

>>2996190
I wasn't discouraged, just kinda curious about what appealed to you about those designs. No worries.

>>2997595
Algen did all those autistic gains during conceptart.org's halcyon days though, when Wes and Coro and Rapoza would comment on people's work and the whole site was people encouraging each other onwards to better heights.
I think he also had friends working to gains with him, at least an art gf.

Not making excuses for the NEET lassies, I just think if LAS now could be what CA was then, it'd be a much better atmosphere and we'd all be a bit closer to making it.

>>2994622
People get injured by bad habits dumbfuck. I've seen people get injured sorting MTG cards. If it can happen to them it can happen to anyone. I didn't think it was that easy either but I soon learned with neck pain as a teacher that I should use a screen in front of me for reference not to the side where I have to turn my neck every few minutes.

>>2997601
>I didn't think it was that easy either but I soon learned with neck pain as a teacher that I should use a screen in front of me for reference not to the side where I have to turn my neck every few minutes.
Wait really? Isn't this better than keeping your neck still?

I've been in a rut lately. Haven't showered in a week, don't leave my house, only eat junk food, watch anime and read books all day, and I can't get myself to draw anything. What do I do to escape from this hell? I just feel more and more lethargic and ambivalent towards everything. Even walking from room to room is annoying.

>>2997616
You should probably tell yourself that it'll be okay and to stop worrying and then just draw. Obviously you tell us the physical things but not the mental part.

No matter what anyone here says it is still on you to put the effort in.

Tomorrow wake up (preferably set an alarm and wake up early but just get a good nights sleep, that comes later)

DO NOT sit at your computer or do any leisure activities (ie browse 4chan on your phone) until you've completed this list:

brush your teeth, floss.
shower
dress like you're going to leave your house
healthiest breakfast you can muster (just cereal is okay)
coffee if you need it.


Now chose 1 of 3 things, in any order. Do at least 1 but ideally all 3.

1. Run any errands you need to run. Go to the grocery store and pick up food that you like to eat, or don't mind cooking, that is reasonably healthy. This is really important because eating like shit will make you feel like shit, so you need to start putting good fuel in your body. Feel free to use your computer/phone for directions

2. 10-30 minutes of exercise, stretching (yoga?), and/or meditation. Its horrible at first but just FORCE yourself to do it.

3. set a timer for 60 minutes and either do thumbnails/designs for any projects you want to do but keep putting off, or do some observational/studies on areas where you found you struggle. Do not worry if its good, this is just about getting back in the routine.


Okay now that you're done, feel free to stretch, then either keep drawing, or fuck off and enjoy your anime.

I know it probably sounds like a lot but this whole process will take maybe 3 hours out of your day (depending on errands).

You will hopefully feel proud of yourself for starting your day productively, and that coupled with the healthier breakfast + bit of exercise should help.


The biggest thing is to just stay consistent. it gets easier the more you keep at it.


If you try your best and it doesn't improve then probably call a doctor.

People like Choob would have been banned from Ca.org. LAS shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath, I'd be pretty embarrassed if I was around back then and I still suck ass.

the colors of the dress are really nice boygivingup
