I made Opal from SU awhile back, sadly it was when I had horrible paints+breakage due to moving. I was almost done painting, touching up scrapes and such but realized that there was so much done I'm not satisfied with how she turned out AT ALL. Her feet and bow need to be painted as well... The question is, should I finish and post it anyways, or just toss it?
I feel so weird cause I have no clue what to draw. What I was working on looks like a pile of poo, so I dropped it kinda.
Sucks having zero friends, "cliques", "squads", etc. To where you consider seeing a person you know for less than a min. Hanging out with someone. Literally having no ability to do anything "normally" enjoyable in life...feeling bad because you know feeling bad makes others feel bad for not being there, which makes endless guilt on all sides possibly. My daily entertainment and feeling of purpose is Litterally me just sitting at my desk all day drawing or art-ing in general. Other than that....youtube and Steven Universe, sleep, avoidance.
This game is freaking eye candy to me, it really is *u* I added in the actual background because I really liked how that turned out too :o Fullsize version of both pics here~ http://krystami.deviantart.com/art/Xenoblade-511603525 http://krystami.deviantart.com/art/Xenobladethumbnailbg-511602941
Dear Tumblr,
All those posts you see of young artists charging $3, $6, $10 for a drawing because they need help? That’s fucking exploitation, and fuck you if you think it’s reasonable or a “good deal" to pay nickels and dimes to squeeze a full-color original drawing out of some talented, hardworking kid because things are tight, and they can’t afford their textbooks. Or food. They sure as hell can’t afford to make you art for $6.
Instead, stop. And ask them where you can donate. If you can afford a $6 drawing, then you can afford to spend $6 simply to help someone. You don’t need internal organs as payment.
Don’t allow young artists to be exploited.
Can anyone give me ideas of types of stuff to sculpt?
sumaipon replied to your post: Keep reading
Yeah dont do the titan if your hearts noy in it. It might not turn out so well. But I started su and got to opals ep and thought that’d be a cool one for you to do! :3
I can never tell if he’s joking honestly but eh, if I get inspiration to do that, then I will but for now the only motivation is from that series 8D opal is great, realistically opal is the one mineral I want to buy eventually (or find) I used to have a piece as a kid and lost it, all I have is opalite which isn’t the same :( cause it is like a surface rainbow rather than inclusions. I have the body down, now I just “sketched” out everything else.
this is me being organized, others tell me messy but everything is placed for convenience, think of an art programs setup, mines all customized for ease of use. Ugh, apparently me doing art is useless I'm told since it's not bringing in money (well sorry that I'm trying to establish the means nessesary to be productive first, to gather the knowledge and skills needed to work in a timely matter, get the materials to make things more efficient, and the time to do the stuff needed just to do this. Already had everything else I care about taken away so why not the last thing I have right?) Anyways, finally unpacked my art stuff, finally moved without breaking my stuff: D HAD to remix all my paints AGAIN after lack of use (was using tinfoil, now using 1$ store stacked pill containers for paint.) I need to get back into drawing, might start off by trying to draw out designs/proportions for future sculptures, or idk, drawing I love but it's hard to stay motivated on it. (I need to actually use my computer again, haven't in quite a long while.) Sorry don't get how me posting a picture turned into a weird vent thing.
I wish I had an art style(s) that people were more interested in.
I NEED help(commissions) so, so badly, please scroll to the bottom for the gist of things if you don't wanna hear a slight back story of why I need help. I am terrible at networking, severely afraid of people, I break down at everything and can't work any sort of job. My dad is a horribly evil person, he breaks agreements and tries to misinterpretes everything to everyone. My husband and I are struggling so badly. We have so much debt and bills.(yay for in the past, family/roomates who steal info and ruin financial accounts) I cant work, I cant get on SSI, others think im lazy because of it, literally all I can do is create art. He is a literal dictator with how he is, he tricked us into giving him more money then we should for things, we called him out on the lies from proof, but again others agreed with him because he knows how to paint everyone else as the "bad guy". Now he told our landlord he isn't gonna pay the originally agreed upon rent, we had a solid agreement of my husband paying half for me and him and half the rent to my dad, instead he is now claiming he is paying my portion, which we even confronted before moving in and it was all okay (wish people would agree to write contracts) My dad is on a fixed income, SSI, my husband works as much as he can as it is, we can barely afford food or anything as it is, we cant get foodstamps or medicaid because he makes too much and even when we almost were able to it would require me looking for a job which i cannot do at all, i can hardly leave my home. We pay bills every week, we are trying to reduce debt so we can find a place to live on our own, every other place we cant move because our credit scores are so bad (mine is literally 9999, due to never working and gaining bills from others using my name and info for accounts while a kid/teen) I also have celiac disease and cant eat most food there is, especially cheaply without making me feel nauseous, i literally starve myself like it is normal, eating a few spoonfuls of peanut butter a day, or water...(healthy food and food emulating "normal" food is very pricy, example: a loaf of bread is nine dollars.) Maybe a meal when I cook for dinner once in awhile. My dad also cheated us on utilities, and out of 200 I'm supposed to get every month as a home health care person for him, he told the landlord we aren't splitting rent anymore and my husband has to pay double for me I guess. We have nowhere to go, nothing we can do. We stand up to him, we get this happening to us. We are strapped more than it is. ----- I desperately, DESPERATELY, need to start taking commissions, I am so scared, I haven't in so long, my skills are a lot better than they were when I used to, but the art world sees art prices differently now of days, as well as I have many styles and qualities to choose from. What I used to price my art when I was younger, people would tell me I underprice myself, now of days I fear i'd be overpricing from others opinions on the matter, and that is with my current works. I want to post examples but it will just be random stuff I have on my phone. I am unsure of pricing, scared to do so but need to so badly, my life is a constant, living, hell..that gets worse and worse constantly...as in police threats for crying or standing up for myself, eyes spat in, chairs thrown at, etc.
w.i.p. Should I add a background to this?
I am a self taught artist, I mainly create Cryaotic, Steven Universe and random related stuff I like. :D I have a hard time openly talking to others, so please don't get upset if I don't reply/take long to reply, I really appreciate any messages I get~ c: Always open for commissions unless otherwise said.
