anyone else on here who is creative? doesnt matter if your work

i make dope beats

I'm creative but I don't have the skill to express it to the world.

>>34661980
make a maceroni painting?

so how do you know you are creative?

>>34661991
>so how do you know you are creative?
I see lots of beautiful images in my mind all the time and I am constantly escaping to fantasy worlds. I can't describe them though, and I can't draw or create them.

I pour hundreds if not thousands of hours into Hearts of Iron and Europa Universalis.

I create alternate history in those games, once i'm done, i'll write up a big report on how it'd affect the course of history and ultimately change the future.

I do this shit all the time. It's a habit; I have to do it.

>>34662063
wow.

like the alternate history youtube channel?

maybe you could write an episode for them

thats cool op, do you feel like posting any of your games

i make beats some but most of them are shit and i have like 5 hours of them lol. its fun to listen to them just because o made tgem

britboy james has good beats

>>34662120
sry, i cant really. I am working with a few people who would really go crazy if they found out i was on 4chan.

some of the games i made are pretty well recieved, but its nothing fancy ^^

>>34662106
That's a good idea.

I've been going at it for two or three years now, still raging on strong. I kind of get a kick out of it, really exercises your brain because you have to then build up a series of events which stem from the base, which then opens up even more "what-ifs".

It'll take me a month or two to finish depending on the complexity of the scenario.

>>34662160
>who would really go crazy if they found out i was on 4chan.
So they are tumblrtards aren't they?

>>34662184
well, they are nice people & enjoy wrking with them.
but yes, i guess some of them are on tumblr

>>34662221
They SJWs right? They are probably holding you back but who knows I don't even know them.

>>34662305
>holding me back

dude, they are just people who believe in different stuff than you do.
like hell, to many of you i would be a sjw as well.

go outside ffs

>>34662338
Not when it comes to art mate. When you want to make art you have to make what you want. If someone says "Umm...I don't think the girl should have no clothes in this scene because that's incredibly misogynistic" they are actively destroying your art.

>>34662377
thing is, that has never happened.

a lot of really great sex games are made by "sjw" devs.

lots of stuff that happen in the industry are really aimed towards infantile virgins, so i can understand why ppl complain about tracers ass etc.

but captcha is making me solve like 20 captchas per post, so ill stop speaking for a while

>>34662436
Fair enough, like I said maybe they aren't holding you back but they would be holding me back. I think if you are making art you should work with like-minded individuals. Not that someone can't criticize you but you should recognize when someone is criticizing you and when they just don't like what you are making at all.

>What do you do?
I make music, draw, and make shitty video games.
Right now I'm working on a game for a world I've been creating in my mind since high school. Its never going to get finished.
I'm also making a website that's like 4chan, but completely text. I'm teaching myself how to do it as I go.

>Has it helped you feel less alone?
Yeah, but I'm lazy. I get short spurts of energy where I do a lot of work on my projects, then I hit a wall and I just quit for a few weeks. Its a cycle I need to get out of. It is a good distraction from reality when I do work, though, and I like it.

>wanna share something?
Here's some music for my game. Its shitty chiptune shit, just warning you.

I like your music.

I, also, make shitty video games / computer art. Been doing this for about 3 years, before that I would just study programming and make shitty apps.

I think any kind of output is awesome - most people spend all this time ingesting content (reading, watching, listening) and never create anything. Its worthless.

>>34662579
thanks. I tried to make it good. Which one's your favorite?

>>34662618
yeah, i get you.

i have gotten to the point where i use making games as an escape. it feels a lot better to have made somthing than to have consumed something.

>>34662479
yeah, distinguishing between criticism and negativity is hard.

>>34662729
>yeah, distinguishing between criticism and negativity is hard.
All I'm saying is if you telling them you use 4chan would damage your relationship then something's up. Most people would just say "Uh, okay." if they found out but this sounds like they would get mad at you. That just seems like you guys have different philosophies.

>>34661898
I work hard to make the best shitposts I can and wait patiently for the (You)s, does that count?

>>34661898
>What do you do?
Video game designer

>Has it helped you feel less alone?
The same way other work has. Nobody "gets" what I do, and they don't care, as long as I can design something functional.

>wanna share something?
No.

i'd love to make instrumentals or beats, putting emotion and love into it where the common listener can 'feel it', y'know?

it'd be comfy beats accompanied by comfy imagery. kind of like adult swim bumps. that sort of ordeal.

>>34663155

Sometimes after my daily 8 hour + WoW session I feel the crushing desire to actually exert my energy on something that produces something of value but I always get frustrated and give in.

How did you two learn how to make games?

I've been programming for ~2 years now (primarily in java and python, but I can learn C/C++) and want to make games, but my instinct is to just watch some YouTube tutorial which I don't think is the best way to learn.

Help?

Hi Op!

I've written several books.

If you want to write a book just do it. It will be shitty, but so are your videogames, and you managed to finish those!

I spent upwards of 800 dollars on a cintiq last week. And I'm unemployed. I just want to draw and animate. I want to make short movies and shows and things for people to watch. It's all I can do anymore. Anytime I'm not drawing something, I'm thinking about killing myself. I can't taste anything anymore.

I make really bad music. I think it makes me feel worse since I can never really make anything that I'm truly happy with.

I've made a couple over the last 3 months that I don't completely hate so that's something I guess. I think part of the problem is I drop songs really fast if I'm not feeling it.

Maybe I should get some way to record my guitar so I can try to make something along the lines of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Started traditional drawing in January, made about 5 little pieces of work but I don't feel like i do enough of it to keep improving. Other people say I should put more colour into my work but I prefer using greyscale, although I have a fresh set of watercolours in my drawer waiting to be used.
It helps a lot and takes the edge off sitting in college on my own paired up with an audio book and a hot drink, and it's nice to post online when people say nice stuff back sometimes.

I have intrusive thoughts from OCD almost constantly. They are extremely creative, regardless of where I am or what I'm doing. Every psychologist or psychiatrist I've been to commented on my imagination.

I like to write. I proofread and quality control professionally because I have such a knack for it, but I'd never write professionally because all I write about is violent, self-indulgent garbage.

I like to draw but am an amateur for the same reasons as above. Lately I've exchanged some stuff on swapdoodle and while I've gotten nothing but praise I still cringe at every drawing I send immediately afterwards.

I would love to get better at the violin, but I make excuses constantly and probably don't have the level of dedication needed to really become proficient.

I've been writing scripts for sketches and short films but nearly 40 degree days with no air conditioning has killed progress recently.

The concept is nice and the first page is very well written, but the second leaves a hell of a lot to be desired. The ending is weak and your message is lost in your projection. Rather than have the customer outright state that the experience is authentic, why don't you show your readers that it is? Why not just leave off with the prostitute going out with her "girlfriends?"

I've taken advice from many people I look up to who all say one thing: PRODUCE. doesn't matter what you produce, just get something out there you can call your own

im currently fucking around making and editing videos and clips on a dead graveyard chatroom from 1990's

i play guitar in bands. it hasn't helped me with anything. i've been doing this for a while and i'm over it and honestly just want these bands to fall apart and never play again

>>34667428
>Rather than have the customer outright state that the experience is authentic, why don't you show your readers that it is? Why not just leave off with the prostitute going out with her "girlfriends?"
I was worried that leaving it at that wouldn't be an effective punchline.
I'm having trouble working out if the girl leaving is clear enough to stand on it's own or if it needs a separate punchline or follow-up scene.

It's something that I really need to nail in the second draft.

>>34661898
I can share a few drawings I did back in high school.
They are edgy as shit though.

anon, something similar happened to me one time, except all waitresses gathered around him, purring like the cats in heat they are, then they stripped him naked and start to lick him all over while furiously rubbing themselves, the best girl then went on top of him and start bouncing up and down fast and hard, he didn't have to move, they were so eager to please him, 4 other waitresses started to take care of his Greek god like nipples, ass and tremendous balls, everyone eating there just looked in amazement and accepting the need for the god of masculinity in getting his deserving release and that no waitresses can resist the presence of such masculine figure, in fact my chad friend was so chad, when the diner's manager came out to inspect the commotion, he went right up to my friend, pushed the top waitress away and started giving a passionate deepthroat himself, the waitresses seeing him as a competition quickly start to violently attacking him, but he wouldn't let go, so much was the attraction toward the chad, as the manager was finally being pulled apart from limb to limb, the chad pushed him away and picked up nearest waitress and shove his manly rod deep into her crevice and explode into her cervix, for no chad's seed shall go wasted. As he ejaculated, the waitresses and the customers were caught in a trance of ecstasy because the pleasure that a chad feels resonates with universe itself. What followed was a joy filled round of applause from everyone in the diner and passerby on the street. The waitress who had the chance of being impregnate by the manly god was in tears and everyone felt sincere happiness for her.

From that day on, I've never dined with my chad friend again.

This is an original content that I wrote a few hours ago in response to an anon saying he went to have lunch with his chad friend and ended up waiting 30 min at the table while the chad friend banged a waitress in the bathroom.

I was really into drawing all throughout my childhood, I used to make my own paper cutouts and play with them instead of toys. By early highschool I was actually pretty skilled in drawing and painting, I stopped a few years ago though and don't know if I lost my edge or not. I have also been writing alternate-history and speculative-future timelines for my personal enjoyment for a while, I recently started posting them to deviantart.

I know this feel. I kept seeing the "code monkey" meme, and thought it was bullsit. Then I started working on my 2d game in Unity and realized the meme was real. It's literally just a bunch of fucking if statements. Want to move up? If(up key is pressed) do x. Want to move down? If(down key is pressed) move down.

I make up stories and shit in my head. Like, I just imagine a fantasy or sci fi story with some interesting characters, a cool world, and a wandering plot, all just in my head.
I do this most often as I'm trying to fall asleep. I imagine my fantasy world pretty aggressively so that my mind doesn't have the capability to think about my real shitty life and I can drift off to sleep dreaming about fantastic heroes, etc.
I also imagine creative shit like this sometimes at work or in overwhelming social situations where I just need to retreat and recharge before interacting with real people.

Thanks dude! I was really happy about it. Most I've ever achieved

When I was a teenager I was able to write decent stories with at least passable characterization and good description/narrative. I probably could have developed it.

But becoming an adult robbed me, I have no clue what happened. Its just gone. I cant build a compelling character or create imagery.

Im a Paramedic and I work a ton. Between morning coffee and sleepless nights I experience a fair bit of adrenal fatigue. Maybe thats whats doing it.

Or maybe reality just quashed whatever I had. Maybe negativity and pessimism hinders the process.

Dunno man. Just wish I had it back.

Maybe I am
But I think it's just more apathy
I just don't feel much anymore
Except for the sadness I got from writing that
I don't think this is depression though
I'm just a lazy sack of shit
