Wonder if anybody here remembers this old CC mod. But thought you all should know about this. http://agreement.superfriend.ly/ Very good for anybody doing business with clients. It is a better way to think, write contracts and protect yourself. Contracts are king.

Along those lines^ here's an easy one for science fiction writers: http://www.sciencedaily.com For me at least I read any article I find interesting and expand upon it and take it to a creatively logical end based on assumed advancement in said study in the distant future and it's been a great source of inspiration for science fiction writing while maintaining a sense of verisimilitude.

I recall someone telling me on the forum that CS4 is now free, which would be great since 'Ive just rebuilt my PC and photoshop is no longer working correctly on it. Is this true or have I been misled?

I just switched to a new large-format dye-sub vendor. I need to have him dye the entire Pantone Solid Coated color book on my blank stock to use as a reference. Is there somewhere I can simply download an AI or PDF with every swatch on it? I don't want to build something like that from scratch.

99 Designs is somehow even worse than Fiverr, which is impressive. If you get a client on there you have to route any future, unrelated projects through them for the next 2 years so they can get a cut.

Assembled shirts, or flat panels to be assembled? My vendor charges $15 per 57 X 36 inch flat piece, single-sided. My cut-sew-then assembles. That's extended CMYK with Neons. Small batches, each piece unique.

Art folks who are familiar with Gnomon and Schoolism should know about the Society of Visual Storytelling. They have really good classes and are adding more at an alarming speed. You can buy the classes a la carte or do an all-you-can-eat subscription for pretty reasonable rates considering the quality and breadth of subject matter. Courses are focused on illustration as opposed to concept art or game art. They also have a forum with monthly challenges and critiques. Highly recommended all around!

I dunno how many of you guys use conlangs, but if you need a good quick language for your writing that actually makes sense and is customizable, Vulgar is really good. https://www.vulgarlang.com/index.html you can pay 19$ to support the guy who runs it but it has nearly full functionality in its free form. it's real good.

This is the most comprehensive analysis of perspective drawing I've seen so far on the web, the site is kind of click-as-you-read, oh and you click the little aperture circle to go back a page: https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/tech10.html https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/perspect5.html

Conlanging can get really rear end backwards annoying if you don't know what you're doing or don't know some common holes that'll make things annoying later down the line. This is also pretty good if you're looking for something a little more random: http://000024.org/cgi-bin/gleb.cgi

Marc Leone's drawing channel is absolutely unparalleled in terms of free drawing instruction on YouTube. No simple solutions here. No shortcuts. No hocking for some "premium" courses behind a paywall. Dude is legit and completely chill to draw with. Here's the channel.

What's the best source for finding cool battle/fantasy images? Basically I just need to find a bunch of chariot pictures so I can figure out how to paint one into a different scene/background. e: also, any decent tutorials to follow? I used to be a decent post-impressionist painter like, over a decade ago. Gonna follow this for the background. https://www.creativebloq.com/how-to/paint-delightful-miniatures JIZZ DENOUEMENT fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Feb 23, 2018 |

For writers: Cold Turkey Writer. https://getcoldturkey.com/writer/ You can set a word count or amount of time and it blocks out everything else until your goal is reached. Good for people who want to get into the habit of writing but are easily distracted. The only thing that can close it aside from reaching your goal is turning off your computer, so it's pretty stubborn as a blocking app too lol.

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to ask, I am seeking recommendations for getting enamel pins made. Initially I just wanted to get a few whipped up for myself just for fun because I have some cute designs in mind, but from my cursory research it looks like they need to be produced in large batches, is that correct? Any production companies that you guys can recommend? Thank you!

Some years back, a goon posted his WIP graphic novel here (possibly it was in GBS) and It looked incredible. I asked him about how was able to get such nice looking backgrounds/environments and he revealed that he was using a CAD program, and then I believe he redrew them in PS. I'd like to do something similar. I have a project I'd like to start working on and I'd really like to build a foundation for what will amount to a ton of illustrations. I have zero experience with CAD. I'd like something that will let me build/pose crude models of my characters, and craft simple environments to create reference material for something that will later become ink/multimedia illustration. The only other requirement is that I'd like to have some sort of lighting system I can control. I guess tldr I want to be able to create story boards and remove the guess work from perspective and lighting because I'm lazy and let my self get too tripped up with perspective sometimes. It feels a little cheaty but whatever lol. Do you guys have any recommendations for what program might be the best place to start? I know there are a lot of free ones, would they be sufficient and in that case which one would be the best? I'm also willing to pay a bit if it's worth the price although my funds are limited. Something that can run on a 5 year old macbook is also a huge plus. Also any beginner tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm kind of a luddite and I have very little experience with using computers for art in any capacity.

I'm in a weird spot where I own a Surface Pro 4 but cannot really afford a PS sub for drawing. ArtRage is great for "real" materials but I need something closer to Photoshop but hopefully not nearly as expensive. I'm a rank amateur so I don't need professional level but something less than $100 and would help to (re)learn the basics.

What sort of styles do you want to do? That'll mostly determine what software you want. Krita is way better than PS for drawing/painting, and super-configurable, but it kinda sucks at text editing. It's free, though! Gimp is offbrand photoshop (also free!), though iirc it's not so great at brushwork (that might have changed), focusing more on photo editing, transforms, etc. Between the two, you should be able to do anything PS can do.

I've noodled with Autodesk Sketchbook but it feels really limited. I'll try Krita. I've never heard of it. A friend recommended Manga Studio but he's a huge weeb and I don't know what I can trust from him. Edit: Krita looks like what need and it's free. Thank you!

Agreed, manga studio is good for non-weeb stuff. I think they've changed the name to 'clip studio' in later versions, to shake the weeb association. Glad you like Krita, I love it. Love how I can get my control freak on and have everything set up just right.

If you want Clip Studio, you can wait for a sale, which they do multiple times a year. Discounts go from 60% off to... I think I may have actually bought this at 75-80% off but don't quote me on that.
