Tsu | VGEN OPEN

Finally have Full Body Commissions available! 🥳 #vgen #commissionsopen #digitalart #art vgen.co/TSUSHIMA/servi…

@Kat59217016 @nyapawwy_art And then you gotta hope and pray they aren't a broker. The commission world is in such a weird spot right now 🥲

@itsTSUSHI @nyapawwy_art WITH that you’ll have to sift through a lot of posts and pages to see who’s even legit. But if you’re just trying to throw out an idea you want commed you just gotta do the opposite and be vague as Hell otherwise they swarm 😭

Has anyone ever received orders from people who wrote: "Who has open commissions? I really want art with my character" or its just a ragebait?

@Delta01_R I'd definitely say the more accurate one. He looks like a really muscular dude based on his traps and upper chest. So it looks a lot more proportional to me. I also just go to the gym so that's what I typically see anyways LOL

I noticed that i draw necks longer than they should be, should i change it or nah?

@Kat59217016 @nyapawwy_art I'm honestly wondering how you even counteract that though. I've seen people use images to try and throw the boys off but even then those posts still get swarmed

@nyapawwy_art I did it once looking for something very specific and did pick someone from the list(and went back to them twice more). I just hate that I can’t even say “I have an idea in my head I want to get commissioned” without having the bots swarm my post 😭

@HanamaruVT LOL that's a collab, its been around for as long as I can remember and they are actually so fun!

Ok I have a cool idea What about a half-and-half art trade? Two artists work on one artwork but one person does lineart and the other does coloring and rendering (I’m saying this because I hate lineart and I love coloring and rendering shhhh)

Revamping an old OC

@stelltaleart Oh yess what a mystery 👀

@itsTSUSHI hmm i wonder who’s sona this is

WIP of an art trade. First Full-Body furry in literal years

@__cookieart Ahh know the feeling too well! But YKW? I take solace in the fact that they liked my art enough to give it a heart at all XD

People liking my showcase but not req commissions..That's not fair😓🥹 My vgen -vgen.co/_itshemaa Check my profile if you find something good feel free to drop your commission request 😋

Realizing I never posted this bust of Fuin. Drew this a bit ago when I first redid his design Enjoy my precious angelic boy🪽 It also gives a better view of his pretty lower jaw ^u^

@HawkEmDownChris First one that came to mind was He-Man then Thundercats ⚡

Age yourself by naming a cartoon you grew up watching. I’ll start: SpongeBob SquarePants.

@Anno_the_nano @DEADALIVEGUY_ This 100%! Sometimes I'll see an art piece I really like, go to check out the profile, scroll for a bit and struggle to see more of their art, so I go to the media tab and... It's just a bunch of random stuff so I don't bother following :/

@DEADALIVEGUY_ As someone who comms a fair amount of art, the biggest thing that makes me immediately leave a profile is opening the media tab to a wall of reaction gifs and food/pet pictures. The first 4 rows of a media tab is the "storefront", gotta have an alt for regular posting tbh.

Im literally on my knees crying and throwing up and begging artists to learn what marketing is. if you want to make money from your art learn about marketing. Im literally begging you

So I wanted to make one final point about criticism and art in general, because judging by some of the reactions to what I thought was very mild advice for beginner artists, a lot more people need to hear this. If you pursue art in any form, whether as a hobby or a career, people are going to give you criticism that is unsolicited, vague, subjective, harsh, or sometimes just wrong. That is unavoidable. What matters is whether you are mature enough to process it. You do not have to agree with every criticism or obey every suggestion people throw at you. But if your response to criticism is hostility, smugness, or treating every flaw pointed out in your work as a personal attack, you are going to sabotage your own growth. Part of the problem is that a lot of people have convinced themselves that art exists completely free of standards, technique or structure. Every time somebody gives practical advice, you immediately get people rushing in to say “there are no rules in art” or “just do whatever you want.” I think this mindset does far more harm than good. Every artistic medium has fundamentals. Drawing has anatomy, perspective, composition and colour theory. Writing has pacing and prose. Music has rhythm, scales, chords and timing. Comedy has delivery and setup. These things matter because art is communication. You can have deep emotions, powerful ideas, and sincere intentions, but if you lack the technical ability to express them properly, the message can completely fail to reach the audience the way you intended. Tommy Wiseau genuinely wanted The Room to be taken seriously as an emotional drama. Look how that turned out. A joke is not funny simply because the comedian intended it to be funny. It becomes funny through skill, timing and delivery. Art works the same way. People hear “art has fundamentals” and immediately hallucinate some elitist argument that you are not allowed to have fun or experiment unless you have mastered realism first. That has never been my position. Some people just want to draw for fun, relax, make things they enjoy, and spend time with friends. That is perfectly fine, great even. But there are also people who take art extremely seriously and genuinely want to improve as much as possible. Those people need honest criticism, even when it stings. Some of the most valuable advice I have ever received came from people who were blunt, harsh, and completely unconcerned with whether my feelings got hurt. Without that criticism I would not be where I am now. Some criticism will be stupid, malicious, or come from people who have no idea what they are talking about. Your responsibility is to sort through it, keep what is useful, discard what is not, and apply it where it helps. It is not your audience’s responsibility to perfectly phrase criticism in a way that protects your feelings. And honestly, a lot of people who claim they desperately want to improve actually just want validation. You can tell because the second somebody points out a flaw in their work, they become defensive and treat criticism like a moral failing instead of a normal part of growth. Eventually people stop trying to help them. Because despite what people online say, skill matters. Technique matters. Execution matters. Once you reduce art down to pure intention while dismissing craftsmanship and technical ability, it potentially opens the door to arguments that gen ai is real art too, and I'm not giving those fuckers and inch. So ask yourself honestly what you actually want from art. Do you want it to be a comfortable hobby where you unwind and have fun? Or do you want to push yourself as far as you possibly can, knowing that growth is often frustrating, repetitive and difficult? Both approaches are valid. But if you truly want to improve, you cannot spend your entire life demanding honesty while punishing everyone who gives it to you.

Some early headshot sketches of our Zyrman Necromancer, Zyro for the card game, Bacon Project

Trying the Marc Brunet coloring technique on my own characters. It’s quite fun. I’m supposed to have a video on YouTube reacting to his technique starring Magik. Just gotta finish editing it. Music in this is Downpour: from Bleak Faith Forsaken OST

@HeseiP @horrifichymns Literally!! The only reason I'm on it is to post art and run away. I have a seperate art account to escape the craziness and all it does is push crazy no matter how many times I hit "Don't show me this" I just gave up on the discover tab altogether 😭

@horrifichymns Bsky's fyp feels like fucking facebook thats the best way to describe it For me its only worth using to drop an art piece and dip

as bad as twitter is unfortunately i cannot use bluesky because people are just extremely annoying there in an entirely different way

Twitter did me dirty and made the transparent PNG white, I swear one has a white background and one is transparent 😭

Drawing of Scylla from EPIC: The Musical. Cause that soundtrack is quite literally my happy place

Super quick BG study limiting myself to the lasso fill. If anyone has background art tips I am ALL ears. I really want to get into visual storytelling

Don't typically draw bright or colourful characters but this was a nice challenge. Had to switch up my rendering process a bit on this one Headshot for @TicketShenpai

@janzan_j @QuoteArtists_ I adore your style! It's perfect for that cozy indie animation feel!

artists!! to those i haven’t followed or reposted their portfolios / comm sheets, please reply here 🎀 i want to see different sorts of art to support <3
