Start a thread for your WIP, if you like. might help with your procrastination to have goons cheering/yelling at you. I have written like 150k words that I would never have written because of thunderdome, which is basically that.

Al! posted:wait so you pay them to even consider you to contribute to their business?????? It’s your business, too. I applied for a street fair and it was $30 for jurying then $200-something for the actual booth space, but any money I would have made selling stuff was all mine (and the governments). A gallery would take a cut of any sales made, but i think you’d get most of it.

realtalk i already have my apocalypse all planned out. first step will be to get a few big scary dogs and a herd of goats. the goats will pull a wagon which i will sit upon, playing my accordion and singing the songs of leonard cohen so that they won't be lost to the mists of time. i expect to get about a mile before we're all killed and eaten by nuclear mutants and/or perfectly nice normal people who are just sick of my poo poo

You know, some people in the art thread were talking about doing fanart to try and boost their views and I just had an experience about the futility of that. I do a lot of fanart just for fun/because I'm an unoriginal hack. Like 3 months ago I drew fanart of Link's Awakening and it got like, 3 notes on tumblr over the course of months. Whatever, that's all I expect from my crummy art. Then randomly yesterday it got reblogged by one of those big fanart blogs and suddenly it has 83 notes. A bunch of people suddenly showered attention on a piece that had been sitting there. But not one of those people looked at any of my other pieces. Or if they did look at my other pieces they thought they were bad. So effectively nothing has changed in terms of people actually looking at my art. I really don't care about popularity or anything but stuff like this fucks with my idiot brain because I can't tell what people liked about my art or what they ddin't like about the rest of my art and ah gently caress it I'll just go back to doing more crummy doodles that go nowhere

My most popular post on Tumblr ever is some Rhythm Heaven Fever fanart I posted in 2012. Every so often it will get a few notes over the course of a few days; the last time was about a week ago. Meanwhile I'm lucky if my comic update posts, which I have been posting twice a week for the past 6 years or so, exceed two likes. It's frustrating!!

i literally never draw fanart, but a few years ago the scp foundation briefly caught my imagination and i drew some pictures of 096 which became weirdly popular and got thousands of views despite being super low-effort and then people started messaging me asking me to draw them loving it and i was so dismayed that i abandoned that deviantart account and never logged into it again. fanart is never worth it

Fanart gets views and it's extremely hard to get anyone at all to care about OC, those are just facts. But you know what else is a fact? Tumblr is a terrible platform for art because reblogs don't push traffic back to your page, they just stay on the reblogger's page, which has 3 million other awesome reblogs so people just follow the reblogger.

Al! posted:wait so you pay them to even consider you to contribute to their business?????? Galleries generally have 2 types of exhibitions. Solo exhibitions, where only a single artist is invited to participate, and group exhibitions, which are open for anyone to apply and usually based around a certain unifying theme ("Memories" or "David Lynch," to give a couple examples of open calls my wife has exhibited in). Solo exhibitions are generally given to artists the owner personally likes or who have proven their selling power. Group shows are open to more lesser-known artists and can be a great way to get people to see your work, but the downside to the gallery owner is that none of the artists have proven sales, while the costs of operating a gallery remain the same. So a relatively small entry fee is given, which goes to pay for cash prizes, and also the opening/closing events which generally have some sort of musician/DJ/other entertainment that needs to be paid for, as well as food and drink. In short it does kind of suck, but ultimately even the most generous, socialist-leaning gallery owners have to pay fixed costs every month to keep the lights on until the societal collapse, when we will no longer have to worry about keeping lights on because all the electrical plants will fall into disrepair and become infested with Morlock-like mutants.

Anyone that uses Clip Studio Paint know if there is a way to select an area and say "hey blur it by x amount"? Blurring background stuff can be inconsistent when I do it by hand but more importantly if I'm trying to blur a large area the program lags like hell.

Ive been on "the wagon" about a month and am noticing i am much sharper than i have been for a while i stopped smoking weed when i graduated high school and when to art college and now i have way better focus but massive anxiety/depression problems. luckily im medicated now but my first two years at art school i was getting panic attacks several times a week from the stress and i got really close to self-medicating again

i find weed helps me focus but what it makes much more difficult is actually sitting down and starting on something rather than procrastinating.

weed helps me with visual art because i find it hard to put myself into the space where i can just work uninterrupted for hours at a time, especially now that i have chronic pain problems that i didn't have when i was younger (back when i was able to put in twelve-hour stretches without weed). for some reason i can still focus on writing, but i top out at 1-2 hours before the pain distracts me, while with weed i can manage 4 or 5, which is obviously a pretty big productivity difference. but on the other hand, when i smoke a cone it's a 50/50 chance whether i'll fly into a creative whirlwind or spend the whole afternoon watching my quail and planning my career as a cohen impersonator on a full-time tour of the nursing home circuit (a lucrative and mostly untapped market)

mine is an interesting case because i didn't start smoking until i was in my mid-twenties, and this is my first long stretch without it. it was also never a self-medication thing, i had my psychiatric problems under control when i began and i only went chronic because it does incredibly interesting things to my art that i didn't know i was capable of before i started using it - whereas i was a confident writer before, but never confident in my art. trying to unlock that side of me without the weed is the challenge, especially now my immune system is attempting a hostile takeover of my body and trying to turn me into the thing from the thing. (ok it's not that bad, i'm just kind of sore all the time and it's annoying)
