[dude speaking proudly, holding a d20] I can't be racist, I watch the NBA and one of my tabletop characters is black

[the same dude, now zoomed on, looking so angry he's shaking and sweating] It's just that I don't want my sister to date one of them, okay?

He does a voice for his character too.

That too, but he says it with hard r.

As the character?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 0 points 22 hours ago

His character is from Montenegro.

Damn, with all the stick figures I sometimes forget how well you can draw.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Main issue is whenever I tryhard, I often end up getting told that my art looks AI generated (that's why I leave the paint bucket fills instead of smoothing them out…).

It's disheartening when it happens, so I tend to share stickmen online, and keep my more serious pieces to myself.

Grinding daily though, hopefully I'm getting better, and one day I'll escape this vortex.

Today's piece, reworked/improved a piece of art for a card game:

for me the facial expression in the second panel makes my aigen sense tingle

it kinda looks detailed in a very creepy way

hard to describe

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As far as I'm concerned, you already escaped the vortex.

Thanks for sharing. <3

Much appreciated ❤️

But I'm definitely not there yet (for ex. the head shape and hands in the left panel, I just gave up on both).

I'll still be sharing mostly stickmen for a while, until daily practice gets me where I want to be, long road ahead.

As for art I draw for games / commercial use… I have to record the entire sketching and drawing process from start to finish, which feels intrusive and affects the creative process, because otherwise you always run into those types who think they can tell the difference but always get it wrong, and nothing short of a full recording will satisfy them. Yay learning to draw in the 2020s!

Great work! I'm gonna tag you as "good drawer" so I don't mistake your stuff for AI =)

(No promises about mistaking you for furniture, tho)

[–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 3 points 22 hours ago

Wow, this is excellent!

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 22 hours ago

The difference between the two panels here is slightly jarring.

[–] Nariom@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

that's sexist too

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

If all men were brothers, would you want one to marry your sister?

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

Same reason not to get married, cause then you got the same last name and youre like a proper family. Basically incest.
