Quit whining you haven't done anything wrong because, frankly, you haven't done much of anything. • SFW only; mature themes • prv: @Swirly_Beer • pfp: junipeeps

Lineart and painted backgrounds are important too, though, you were right about that. You can't do shortcuts for those. This really isn't a reducible, easy process if you want accurate mimicry. There isn't a get-rich-quick way to do this. I'm not even accurate enough myself.

To the person on Reddit: the "magic" is not at all the post-FX. What's infinitely more important is color design, simulating limitations/the traditional process, and mindful character design. I've sunk a lot of time into the FX—it's a fraction of the worth of everything else.

@DJanvierto I was deliberately emulating aspects of Sonoda's style for a handful of months just to see if I could, but he isn't one of my inspirations nor really one of my favorites, though I am quite fond of Gall Force.

@Nexial_Machine Oops, my bad for that, because your illustrations resonates to Kenichi Sonoda's
English
@DJanvierto Kind of a loaded ask, "artist" is broad. Inconnexedly naming a handful: Claude Monet, Saul Bass, Robh Ruppel, Kunihiko Tanaka, Charles Marion Russell, Masamune Shirow, Giacomo Balla, Jean Giraud, Paul Nicholson, Kow Yokoyama, Aidan Hughes, Takashi Nakamura, Massimiliano Frezzato.

@moldenjoyor Beyond not spiraling your project into incompletion, another benefit of seriously questioning the extent of your ideas is avoiding the finality where the ONLY engaging part is the framework. I think primarily of Shadows of Doubt. Annoyed I sincerely entertained that game.

@Nexial_Machine Ideally I borrow from a lot of games I like without outright copying or aping them
The muddy idea I have so far is of something with systems inspired by Kenshi or Underrail but I have no clue what setting or story I want to go with yet
English
There are maybe like 4 indie game developers that are actually making anything at any given time
The rest of them are waiting for a "big hit" to get popular among streamers so they can ape it for five years
Some get antsy and ape existing IPs though and make bargain bin clones

@moldenjoyor In that nature you can maybe incidentally make something with more conceptual backbone than a lot of these "creative" projects—granted you don't find dogshit fun playing; you still need intent. My main issue with indie games, even "good" ones, is the crippling lack of cohesion.
English
@Nexial_Machine My goal making a game is to make a game that I would have a lot of fun playing, nothing highbrow or "unique" for the sake of being trendy and new
Chasing trends or trying to set trends is retarded striverism shit, just make fun games

@Nexial_Machine really random question but what genre(s) of music do you like? any favorites to listen to while drawing?
English
Closed.
I've underestimated the demand for these; the next time I do this, I'll have a proper system, like a form-and-queue. I didn't think there was that much interest so I didn't feel the need to yet.
Sorry to anyone who couldn't get one. If a slot frees up, I'll give notice.

@rangerregia I think every creative on some level should aspire to outdo their last best work. Even if you think it's the best you can do, you should want to do better, and better than that. Always hunger. ALWAYS hunger.
Thank you, though, I'm glad you like it :)

@Nexial_Machine you can't help but outdo yourself, can you? this is definitely my new favorite piece

That's my only weigh-in, sorry to the three people who have notifs on for me.
