/las/ Last Artist Standing - New Friends & Foes 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.
there. kick rocks.

I wish I had an art friend.
I am so lost sometimes.

>>3012437
join the discord! :D

>>3012437
were all your art friends in here ;)
>but actually im also lonely and lost :(

Why are there no good artists in las?

>>3012458
We are lonely together now.

>tfw when want to join

If you spent hours on something then it's good enough for LAS.
So join instead of crying about it.

I wouldnt be surprised if tribunal did nothing anyways, since it used to boot you from the weeks, but we have no more weeks now. Fucking lavaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm only posting in the rpg challenge for now since I'm travelling so not really drawing every day

>>3012464
there are quite a few near professional level

>>3012603
You'll fit right in.

I think they lacks certain qualities.

I would say barkode has more professional quality since he can renders well, sketches aint professional

>>3012701
say.my.name

>>3012704
I guess, I feel the pro vs non-pro thing is kind of moot anyway, it's not like you suddenly cross a line and magically you're now a "pro," It's more of a gradual thing.

>>3012603
Wellcome aboard! hope you draw a lot.

>>3012687
I'm thinking there is at least 5 or so that should probably be working on a portfolio and marketing themselves at this point.

Even then just because if there is no biters, they would have a body of work to pick apart and study what they are lacking.
>>3012704
mathias issue is that he seems not to be decided in a direction yet, which is fine. since hes like 16 and living with family still. He could very easily take his work and start pushing towards illustrations though and find clients.

naf just doesn't seem to be making a portfolio yet.. for whatever reason. I don't know their backstory well enough

Keep in mind, professional does not mean master. professional means able to do art as your profession. If you were to actually look at the level of art indie game studios put out you'll fine there are quite a few at our below the level of some of the /las/sies.


vadstart just got a job at a game art studio and susipari has been working at an animation studio. as well

Sure maybe nobody here is good enough to work on an AAA game, but that's partly because very few here are actually grinding 3D

>>3012709
professional
ADJECTIVE
"Engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur."

There's definitely a line but there's nothing magical about it.

>>3012727
>>3012687
oh, to also name a few. Off the top of my head

naf
lokki
papa
mooff
vadstart

I'm sure there are more that was just all that came to mind

I found this cool app called handy that lets you rotate 3D models of skulls, heads, feet and hands. It doesn't have any full body stuff tho, do you guys know of any app that does? I found proko's skelly app but that only has a skeleton and not the anatomy on top.

>>3012787
I bought something called l'echorche
It's decent, I use it often.

It's called "handy art reference tool" you can find it by searching for "handy art" or something like that.

Huh weird. It's seems like i can do much cleaner lines with my normal wacom tablet than my cintiq.

Do i really need straight surface that badly?

>>3012919
maybe you just suck at using a cintiq

>>3012924
I doesnt take any specific skill to use a Cintiq.

Any favourite submissions so far for today?

Wow, what a surprise, I drew something completely underwhelming again.

How do you guys get into the mood for drawing when you're really tired?

>>3013015
All of them, except mine.

>>3013018
Take a nap.

>>3013018
I use a really big brush and squint my eyes while making big strokes
then I try to find something in it like in a cloud while I make my brush smaller gradually
it's nice as warm up and sometimes you'll be surprised what you'll find

>>3013023
I barely have time for that.
Work is sucking up all my time and energy.
But I'm still going, I don't plan to give up just yet, I'm just struggling a bit.

>>3013024
I'll try that, I've been thinking about getting a bigger watercolor brush.

>>3013015
Always a lot of cool submissions, the ones that stuck out for me are the pixel dragon and the rose

>>3013018
Last time I was realy down I just drew some mushrooms because they had simple and cool shapes and it was nice and relaxing drawing them.

>>3012718
Thanks very much! I'll start with that fuckin thumbs up face because it made me zozzle

>>3012732
>>3012744
Yeah, I'm technically a professional and my artwork is completely unmemorable by LAS standards.

>>3013105
Your work is shit Lava.

>>3013065
no doubt there are plenty more, didn't want to dig through everyone though!

>>3013109
lava isnt technically a professional

>>3013109
I'm not Lava but my work is pretty mediocre. It's kind of disheartening to get overtaken artistically by people who do it as a hobby and are ten years my junior, but fuck, it's not like I can stop drawing.

Anyone do any 3D work here? I've been trying to get into sculpting with Zbrush, trying out different brushes and getting used to the whole UI and shortcut keys, coming off of Maya though the UI feels just as busy. Guess I just gotta stick with it.

>>3013129
Get out of your comfort zone maybe?

>>3013131
...
Fuck, man, you're not wrong. It really is that simple.
I spend hours upon hours working on art every day, but it's on stuff where I don't experiment at all - I hate working on the stuff that makes me money, so I don't want to spend any more time on it than I have to, and I'm so emotionally invested in my passion projects (and the deadlines are so tight) that I don't want to risk getting a bad result.

Thank you for the reminder. I don't know if I can really trust the seeming infinite clarity of these sorts of late-night revelations, but I'll have to try and make time for things that aren't so goal-focused.

I'm rambling. I should go to bed.

>>3013162
https://www.ted.com/talks/eduardo_briceno_how_to_get_better_at_the_things_you_care_about

this can kind of apply too, glad I helped!

>>3012420
For LAS, does it need to be a finished piece to count? I'm bad about getting like 3/4 done with a piece and then moving on

>>3013190
it can be anything so long as it took you at least 30 minutes to draw

>>3013050
thats a leyendecker study, and he mentioned them already

Hasta luego lassies. Wish I could say I enjoyed the ride.

>>3013349
why you leavin, I didn't say you could leave

>>3013182
Woah. Not that anon, but damn, a TED video that isn't just empty "Do what you love and you'll be great at it!" pseudo-advice? Never thought I'd see that. This is actually really helpful.

>tfw forgot I even joined a challenge
Better get to work

>>3013067
me

im at the end of the line with the LAS website and Lava. Tomorrow will be the end of the line one way or the other, and either lava will see and things will change or ill leave the thread and site for good

>>3013577
Bye anon, I guess you should start packing.

>>3013577
Well... Lava isn't coming back any decade soon sooo... BYE! :)

>>3013577
Maybe there'll be a miracle and lava will actually fix the site but I doubt it. Although he did post on his blog that he found some bugs and that he'd try to fix them. Anyways, take care anon.

any updates on DED?

>>3013622
nicnac is focusing on school

I think las is gonna produce more successful coders than artists because of how many people are now working on their own site.

>>3013630
runnerman will inadvertently create the singularity while learning programming

>>3013634
It's been 10 years since the ded servers came online, assimilating most of humanity. A vast myriad of clones, all with a mastery of 3D modeling and photobashing. The few brave lassies strong enough to remain pure in these dark times- scattered to the edges of civilization. One would think they were myths if not for the crumbled up drawings left in their wake. The Ded AI knows no borders though and they soon will join the rest...

>>3013840
What? the proportions are wildly off, it was intentional, no?

>>3013130
I do some 3D, usually I watch all the intro tutorials on the official software website and some supplementary stuff on youtube. It's kind of boring, but it helps to remember all the UI if I just take it one by one.

>>3013849
No fuzz on that fact, for sure.

How do we revive LAS?

>>3014199
Replace the sleeping driver, or get a different vehicle.

>>3013882
Yeah Ive been watching this intro to zbrush that has some 40 vids, its pretty nice

Its called Last Artist Standing, let it die, that was the point.

>>3014248
Yeah, it's good the next will likely be called "Draw Every Day" or something along those lines, a much better ideal.

>>3014248
ikr i mean we are all sitting drawing anyway

>>3014253
Draw Every Day doesn't sound as cool and motivating as being the Last Artist Standing. You have to think about how in anime and manga the protagonist always wants to be number one, but that means climbing over and throwing other people down. Everyone wants to be number one, but don't realize that part.

>>3014256
that was terrible and you should feel terrible

>>3013882
Im balls deep in 3d, only to add to my tradish stuff though, working it into my pipeline along with MD.

>>3014199
We email lava about it.

>>3014269
at [email protected] he'll fix the website :)

>>3014248
You're just encouraging everyone to stop so you can be the last artist standing.
I'm not falling for it.

are the guys that wanted a Seasons System way back in the early days of LAS still around?

>>3014257
Drawing the longest doesn't mean you draw the best or even improve the most though, so why does it matter

>>3012542
regardless of what people think, the majority of us aren't idiots. i can tell the difference between a 30 minute study and a 3 minute doodle. just join anon

>>3013018
i force myself to draw or i take a short nap and force myself to draw when i wake up

>Drawing the longest doesn't mean you draw the best or even improve the most though
True story :\

>>3014369
It means you at least didn't give up and are able to hold a position as well as one day be able to improve to further heights. Those who gave up may never come back. They might as well be dead as competition.

>>3014391

Las can be detrimental because people start getting worried about their submissions not looking good so they stay in their comfort zone

I know quite a few ex-lassies that still draw everyday but they have the freedom of not worrying about people judging their learning pieces

>>3014492
This is very true and something I've struggled with for a long time. When I have more time to draw I do stuff I know I won't submit, but when time or health don't permit it, presentability plays a big factor in what I work on.

>When you realize lava hasn't submitted in a few days

So what'd you guys think of the donut steal challenge?

>>3014528
Not enough people entered it, I thought it was a good idea though. All them Naf admirers, its kinda cute. Only Tekky actively tried to show finlay something, but even that was kind of half assed, especially when he shares some of finlays problems too.

tripfags attempt to color like choob turns out shit, great job tripfag, just like choob.

>>3014373
Not entirely true, a tight tracing can appear to have taken a long time, until you run across the original, then you realize it probably took 10 minutes from start to finish.

Where'd everyone go?

>>3014734
Still here lurking. Like I have been for 500+ days.

>>3014736
So how was your day?

>>3014736
Pretty okay, Anon. I did 8 hours of drawing then marathoned re:Zero. I didn't like it.

What did you do today?

>>3014737
shit. This >>3014741

>>3014741
I ate good art all day and drew a little bit. I spent most of the day listening to music though.

If you don't like re:Zero, what do you like?

>>3014734
Probably gonna quit soon.

>>3014743
I like other Isekai, I just thought it was pretty lackluster. Insufferable protag, and the entire second half dragged. I hear they cut a lot from the novel, but it seemed like a lot of basic things weren't really explained.

>>3014758
I checked his las page for the first time in a while and he's been submitting pretty irregularly. It's only a matter of time before he stops giving a shit.

>>3014768
It's pretty fucking impressive that LAS doesn't even need a fucking site maintenance every month like most other sites. Just how strong and stable is the server?

>>3014757
not that anon but
although it's still not an excuse, but as well as cutting stuff, apparently they only adapted the prologue of the LNs.
Agree about the second half, my overall opinion would've been a lot higher if it ended at the credits of ep 15, would've been a ballsy move and stayed with the viewer longer.

also could you recommend any isekai that you do like? I tend to find all isekai protags are insufferable desu

>>3014369
>>3014492
fair enough :(

>>3014758

>>3014524
he's been stagnating pretty hard, the stuff he drew last year is on the same level as the stuff he's drawing now

hey /las/, Professional 10x software ninja here.

I really like LAS. I've been making an alternative website with the plan of open sourcing it as soon as it goes live, so even if I were to stop maintenance of it someone could potentially continue on the work. I'm open to open sourcing it early, but adding build and configuration scripts for the database side of things is a pain. If anyone is really interested, I'll open source the SPA, API gateway, and scheduler sooner though.

I'm doing it entirely for fun and to explore some technologies, so whether or not anyone chooses to use or not it is fine with me

I've got a few questions about desired features though.

Do the weekly challenges add any value for anyone, or do people just want streaks (miss two days, lose your streak, restart the next day), with user created challenges and topics being the only challenges with time spans?

Ratings (1-10 vs Like/Dislike vs Facebook Style Reactions)? Skill categories for users (not good, good, really good)? Commenting on pictures?

I'm not at all a dirty neet, so it's going to be a couple of months before I have all the main functionality in place and live, but I am slowly building out features.

Feel free to leave any suggestions or wishes in the threads, I'll be reading them.

>>3014952
I don't think a rating system would work, because people would just spam the threads, whining about no one rating/liking their art.
Maybe some sort of anonymous comment function?

>>3014952
Summary of all the people that're working/worked on LAS sites:

- Lava: AWOL, site crawling with bugs but lots of new people, possibly going to fix bugs (??)
- W: Programmed new site but fucked up running it, code is available for anyone else to try (if they know how to program and run it)
- Runnerman1: A several months into learning how to program.
- Nicnac: Setup basic website but still going through highschool, setting up hosting and domain

AND YOU GET A LAS WEBSITE!
LAS WEBSITES FOR EVERYONE!

I have an idea. Why don't we all just make our own las websites and make it so only the creator can post on them?

>>3015014
I'll make a las website that links to all the other las websites so you can watch the creators submit like on the original las website.

>>3015015
But then someone has to make an las website that links to your las website that links to all the other las websites so we can watch the creators submit like on the original las website.

>>3015014
Almost like having a blog. It's a genius idea.

Last LAS Website Standing

>>3014952
The only thing LAS needs is comments.

>>3015029
Not much. There are many people that rarely get mentioned in these threads, if at all. We don't get critiques.
Allowing comments on the website will encourage communication and improvement. And it'll be easier for everyone involved.

You can improve your art while tracing senpai.

Quick example would be control f paint tutorial on edge control. He wanted to show studying edges so he traced the skull and spent 30 min on edges.

another example would be drawing the head from observation and then tracing it so you can really get a feel for the proportions etc.

Get over yourself really desu- there's no right way to learn

Dope. I'm certified in word and I think maybe excel too so maybe I'll also get lucky. Wish you the best.

Lately I've been more and more paranoid about economic collapse. I feel like it would be better to just give up on art and learn subsistence farming or foreign language or something.

Do you guys ever think about what will happen if the skills you're gaining become completely useless?

>>3016899
the collapse will take about 30 years it wont just happen. keep going get money and start prepping

Venezuela was the result of GENERATIONS of communism it took DECADES for the government to take absolute control of the means of production. we just chose to ignore it because Chavez got lucky and got arrogant. Americans are entrepreneurs and independent by creed, more than likely you will fare much better than us when the time comes. that does mean gated communities that will shoot on sight if you're a stranger though. madmax will turned real in nevada. i can see mexicans trying to take over the hoover dam.

How many people do you guys think will actually finish the rpg challenge? Which lassies will fail?

Hello folks, lets go over some cool submissions for the day.

Here we've got Mooff's submission. Very cool environment with a nice cool palette (maybe even too cool). Looks super cool although the edges are weirding me out a little bit, maybe some 3d used in this? Solid submission!

Next up is Jozu. It looks like he's been working on this painting for 2 days now. He's smoothed out the face and given the dude a liposuction. The painting has gotten a little muddy although it's nothing a few more hard edges can't clean up. He also did a superb job of channeling his frustration and pain into the eyes of this dude, you can just feel him saying "why the fuck did you paint me bro?" Neat submission!

For our third post of the day we have Tekky! It looks like he's taking a well needed detour from his usual stuff of human figures and working on compositions and color blocking. The dolphin thing definitely looks cool with the curvlinear horizon. Looks like Tekky wasn't feeling the linework today though. That fish on the top left looks like a smug abomination. Good work Tekky, you've been improving recently so keep it up!

Now we'll take a detour from the daily submissions and take a look at some of the challenge submissions.

Here you can see Carl channeling his inner James Gurney while working on these dinos. All of his challenge submissions are centered around this prehistoric theme and you can see his passion for the over grown reptiles. It looks like he's worked on 2 designs with 2 views each, both look interesting and unique. Idk if he used actual dinosaur stuff as ref but It looks like he experimented with using normal animals to come up with these. The bottom one kinda reminds me of a kangaroo head while the top one looks kinda fish like to me. Anyways, good job on the designs Carl and I look forward to seeing the rest of your stuff!

And here is the final one. Another image from the rpg challenge, this time from Bandit.

Bandit has been experimenting with this really cool psychedelic style both with his strokes, shapes and especially color. I definitely think this could be cleaned up much more and the values don't quite do the piece justice but the chaotic nature is part of the charm. It's kinda out their and really weird looking but Bandit executes it in a way that manages to make it visually appealing. Great work Bandit, you've been doing a great job on the challenge, esp. on the environments.

Cath here, I had a lot of fun with the character swap challenge and I was thinking to do the third one already, but since most of us draw characters often what about a "scenery swap challenge"? drawing a place instead of a figure will take a lot of us out of the comfort zone.

>>3018795

I wish I could enjoy E3.

A lot of the games will be downgraded open-world collectations with microtransactions, linear cinematic games that take a few hours to complete, and pre-rendered cinematics that will have lackluster gameplay like Brink.

Devolver Digital was the best so far.

I like The Last Night.

>>3019271
WHat was that game they announced last year with the bioshock aesthetic and the creepy drug rat eating shit. Did it ever come out?

The last night also seemed cool, It seems cool visually now I just have to see how it plays.

Why is the thread so dead
Just end it already then

>>3019428

We Happy Few? I think it's still in development. They had a release for Chapter 1 though.

I think I've just about gotten what I needed from topic hell. I'm putting a number on a dying website ahead of my progress, and that is unacceptable.

>>3019436
Oh yeah that's the one. It looked really cool but then I didn't hear anything about it. Thanks

>>3019485
Did you not get out of your comfort zone and improve thanks to these topics?
I'm asking because I've been considering it

>>3018063
I'm surprised you didn't go back through all my old submissions and find every time I updated that ref sheet, I think there are 5 or so iterations of it

>>3019565
The topics did a lot of good because they forced me to draw a wide breadth of stuff, and I needed as much experience with drawing/painting/observation as I could get. That could carry over from one topic to the next because doing a study is basically the same no matter what the topic is.

The problem is that daily RNG-based topics thrash around too quickly for the learning cycle to happen efficiently. Ideally you study something from working (immediate-term) memory to short-term memory, then once the information is out of your working memory you bring it back repeatedly until it gets baked into long-term memory. That process of bringing information back into working memory once it's gone is how things stick.

If I could Feng it up and work on drawing-related things 16 hours a day I could theoretically juggle some number of past topics, revisiting them repeatedly to make sure it all sticks. I don't have that much time, and even if I did it would be better used targeting my weak areas. I still plan on doing topics, but I won't be forced to do a one-off, minimum effort study for topics I hate and can spend multiple days on ones I like.

Well, it certainly makes it less interesting to bother with las at all.
I'll keep submitting anyway since I made it a point to draw every day at the start of the year but las has certainly lost it's appeal lately.

Stop your guilt. Guilt is one of the biggest issues in the strive to reach your intensely high expectations. Being hard on yourself leads to increased failures and procrastination. You're creating a perception that there's something rotten inside you. Cut that shit out. Every time you fuck up, tell yourself it's fine, you're human and dissipate that useless guilt. With no guilt, there's nothing to mentally run from. Your accountability &resolve increases. Endless self-crit leads to stress, avoidance, comfort coping fap offs and vid game indulgence.

And if you're telling yourself every night before bed "Tomorrow's the day for change" bullshit, that's a strategy to "feel better", not a strategy for meaningful changes. You're generating a false hope that immediately has your enthusiasm fucked as soon as you face the challenges of reality the next day. Develop habits. Motivation will come and go but habits stick around. Now fuck off and come back with some pics
