doug tennapel is conservative and deeply some sorta weird christian and i think this is what makes his great work great and his bad work ham handed. like you need that sort of lunacy and biblical knowledge to create a work as compelling as the neverhood, but it can close you off being so committed to certain kind of introspective thought process, which i guess is the struggle we all go through, and why a lot of art can be expressed or viewed through lenses of extreme ideologies or religions or pokemon maniacs. you need to learn what the character of "jesus" is to express yourself in the form of a painting about jesus, or else it will not reach people who like jesus. or dislike jesus! but the more you know about jesus, the deeper the painting will be. however, this may incur the side effect of believing in jesus

I'm sad and mad and down about a lot, but I don't think I'm ever down about art. No matter what, it's always the thing I most like to do. It's like my oasis in the desert.... I saw 2001 a space odyssey in 70mm the other day and it made me remember everything I loved about cinema. I couldn't be even a little cynical about it!

My hope is that Disney completely collapses in the next five to ten years and the people "waiting in the wings" realize that they could have just made their own poo poo the entire time, instead of spending fourteen years developing hyperrealistic water churning effects for a bugs life 2: flik's miserable

mutata posted:Need money to eat and live, etc. Also it turns out people who make water effects, for example, are FX artists who like being paid to make effects. If like twenty disgruntled pixar employees saved and invested and pooled together a little money over a few years, they could leave and produce their own movie at their own studio, in some garage. Places like bisney/bixar are held together by the false contention that only they know how to make an animated movie, and that animating a movie requires constantly the most cutting-edge technology ("magic") and a huge isolating campus with eight million amenities. Its a lot riskier and theres no garuntee itll work or anyone will make money, but it seems like more fun to me than making increasingly bland cgi funventures for your two bosses, a rapist and an algorithm I saw Sherlock Gnomes at the theater earlier this year, and the most impressive thing about it was the water effects. The rain, the churning, it was all really phenomenal. But obviously, the movie sucked, the photorealism didnt help it at all. Is there a point to spending so much time and money generating aesthetic effects that are functionally and creatively disconnected from the films purpose? Did the film ever have a purpose, besides that the first one was mildly successful and they could make another one? Does any big cgi film? What is the purpose of the human creative impulse?

mutata posted:Ehhhhhhhhh you're not wrong in general, but some people (A) like Disney and enjoy working for them and having benefits, (B) don't want to switch from having a well-paying job on comfortable campuses working on guaranteed high-profile high-budget projects with like-minded people and top-of-the-field artists and TDs to launching a business from the ground up, chasing funding, and pitching to an indifferent and over saturated audience. Most people who start their own teams end up doing everything EXCEPT producing art. Different strokes. I don't blame people for wanting the job either, I just think a lot of the problems people have both within and outside of places like disney could be easily solved by the people working there. If everybody there, the top of the field artists and TDs and renderers and everybody, all quit at once and started their own things, we'd probably have a healthier media landscape and people like lasseter would be less able to abuse their power, because the power would be less consolidated in once place like that. And I know thats a huge stretch, but philisophically I think its important to realize a company can't actually work without the input of the individual actors. Internet Kraken posted:So then they do that and it bombs because, regardless of quality, movies live and die by their advertising budget. Sure the quality of the movie might be amazing and it could be a cult classic but that's small comfort when you are suddenly unemployed and have to claw your way back into a highly-competitive job market. Perhaps, but in a smaller production like that you're contending with a lot less pressure than a studio-level movie is, for a smaller audience, for a larger total percentage of the film's profits. You don't need to have your movie advertised on cans of pepsi to turn the profit you need, you just need to find ways to effectively reach the niche audience your hypothetical film would hypothetically need to. The question of HOW to do that is the huge obstacle, but there's all sorts of options available to you that a big company wouldn't be flexible enough to try. (example: tour a film city to city, buy local ad space as you go as opposed to dropping a big sum on one national campaign, strategically build online buzz and anticipation for film arriving in YOUR TOWN.) Failure is of course the most likely outcome of this kind of endeavor, but that risk is an essential part of true creative freedom. And in the end, your failure is probably going to more impressive and teach you more than most people's successes. Here's Ralph Bakshi talking about what I am going for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WApcUBcVMos Ralph did it! So why can't anyone else?

Great art is sometimes cathartic and you can only make something cathartic if you understand what it means to suffer, and it can only be understood by people who have also suffered. It's less about the actual act of suffering and more about what you construct out of whatever your life experience is

i've defenitely seen those and badly would like a book of em. they remind me of galapagos. the book not the place. folks, what are some of the predominant art movements today. what names would you ascribe to the things people do. there's more than post-webinar gutless dada out there, what do you call it! what do you call yourself, i say I'm a "furry neorealist" but, also say this as the caveat that it is more of an expressionism thing than an identity thing. furry neorealist expressionist. cartoonists.

Fortis i think you should try diversifying your output! bsf's clearly a project youre passionate about and comitted to finishing, but if its the only way people can access your work its going to be a harder sell the longer and more involved the story gets. It doesnt have to be fanart, it could be sketches or work in other media or ideas or pieces from other projects youre working on, or tangentially related stuff from the blasphemous fantasy world, or short comics or whatever! How about a side story where the slug king is a high roller at a casino, trying to attract some casino woman, or a better idea, for example! Fresh stuff that can draw people into the work youve already made. Fortis posted:
You should also not beat yourself up about these, i dont know if theres Really anyone who was sucessful because of forums posts or pw ads. Maybe josh lesnick was but thats because he was selling porn to teenagers. Those avenues didnt work for you but there might be others that will. Its not about the amount of effort you apply, but how effectively you can apply it. I think.

What do you guys think the good solutions are for advertising? Ive been thinking the reason tumblr and twitter arent very helpful is beacuse theres not a lot of options wrt who youre targeting the comic too. You can tag things like #comics or #sliceoflife and theres a higher likelihood that youll reach someone, but its all individual people whose interests already fall in that category, who are looking out for it, which becomes ESPECIALLY unhelpful when the comics scene is as diverse in subject matter as it is. So what are the ways to find and direct people who would like your work, to your work? How do you target groups? Personally i want to try buying a billboard in a funny and strategic location but it will have to wait...until the time is ripe Instead of porn i think we should all focus more on casual "hangout nudity," and to this effect i am offering a spectacular prize to the poster who can identify the three pages of duck comics in which nemo the duck's penis is visible

Here is my thought more specifically, and written less like a online b-hole: human sexuality is a beautiful, complicated thing and i think theres an incredible depth to the subjects you can explore related to it. But when i look at online content, kink and fetish stuff and all that i feel aliented by most of it. Its like everyone is focused on one act or one property, whatever their "kink" is, to the exclusion of all the other vital components that make sex sexy. Who are you with? How did you get there? How do you feel about them? How does sex change your perception of them? Does it change their perception of you? Where does love come into it? Is love leaving it? Where does love come from in the first place? Maybe its corny to ask, but where IS the love? This is all of course maybe silly to ask of content that is intentionally masturbatory and to make $$$$ but i think a lot of porn artists could be reaching more, theres too much thats like an escalating series of inhumanly gigantic asses, or various video game cartoon characters having specific things done to them, or blah blah blah blah. I like jess finks work and ovens, for instance, because they approach those kinda feelings in their work. Sex with depth. Like in real life, but still ultimately far less fullfilling. But closer.

gmc9987 posted:I'm guessing that for a fair number of people, not having to reflect on all that is one of the benefits of looking at porn. Sometimes people get horny and just want to get off and maybe they don't need to push the boundaries of narrative art to do so. It is less that i expect it, or think all these considerations should be exhaustively answered by artists, but more that there is a certain human tenderness lacking at the core of a lot of sex-adjacent work i see online and i worry that its making people colder. This might just be a problem i have with porn in general though. And i agree with your second point, except that i think i would like to see way more emphasis on romance in movies and that the reason "getting the girl" tropes and such are so uninteresting is that the mainstream stuff,isnt asking these questions either

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Digital, I guess, since that's the easiest option for me to play around with during lunch at work. I am just not up to speed on colour theory at all though. Don't overthink it! Color theory's vital for understanding color and how it relates to itself and what kinds of color combinations are effective but eventually you're going to start noticing relationships outside of what it can suggest to you and thats when your work's gonna "become itself" so to speak. Always keep your eyes open, always look at how light and color are interacting with objects in the real world. You DO have an eye for judging and picking color, or else you would not be able to see color, so this is what you refine. I'd also recommend getting a limited palate of cheap watermedia in addition to digital, its easier to figure out how colors blend that way.

Internet Kraken posted:I'm trying to understand colour theory and running into a pretty big issue. Observation will help you here more than anything. Look at how the light changes, spilling on an object over the course of a day, paint a white wall and try to get the colors its reflecting while still maintinging its "whiteness," See how different colored lighting affects the local color of things like skin (ideally irl but movies are good practice for this) and other stuff. Other than that, I think the question of "what color to use" is better answered by "what tone do I want?" No colors ever just white, even white aint just white, and barely anything is the most saturated form of the color. You have thw whole spectrum to choose from and theres no color it "should" be but the one suggesting the feeling you want it to.

You guys ever think about multimedia? There's always the idea in your head but who knows how it comes out and how the lens changes it. A camera's lens replicates something close to an approximation of the human eye, but it is difficult to pin down your eye's own approximation in the form of a drawing or a painting. the process of the media of each changes the end result, if a painting can never be "photoreal" like a photograph can but its merit is jusdged at least in part by its relation to that, either in trying to approximate photorealism or trying to stray from it. Even a photo is only photo real, and not the really real. what's real that a photo cannot replicate but a drawing can? what can motion do? If there's so many ways to approach and idea or explore a concept, why not use now all the available options? I've been thinking I want to create related works in different media or genres of media but i also don't want to make it dense and unreadable. Like approaching an orb from many angles, like how the orb the earth has many stories at many points, I want to just make a world to inhabit concepts in. But if it's like a world, if we are reading that "world's" media, it makes sense that the media is diverse. Is media all we know about places we've never been, is it all we know about the past? Why live in "living" media when the best it can depict is the recently dead? This post is in the past baby, you're reading the past! Can cheating death cheat life? The imaginary things one depicts from their head are not real, clearly, but are the expressions you make of them? The lines are all there, do they mean anything? Why and how do they mean something?

Fair points all! However there's defenitely a difference between things that are art and things that are of observable quality. Art I think is related to truth and creating meaning within a life. There's a reason people have always marked their environment or created myths and music and images and rituals, you can forge meaning within the fact not just that you lived, but were of a certain time or tribe or place or feeling or any aspect of an human animal living and sensing. It reflects your life and environment and is some way real. But would you call propaganda art? There's an art to it, like there's an art to all design, but does intentionally manipulating and obscuring symbols for the purposes of a state or other entity rob it of its true soul? How about people using principles of design to create eye catching packages? Can you actually call the image on a box of oreos art? It's more like copywriting. What do you call a bazooka joe comic? You can make art within a commecial context, but if you let it get too commercial something does bleed from it. The sistine chapel is about as good as the avengers movies. Both are worthless in the eyes of grizzly man. Or pinocchio!veni veni veni posted:I always find “what is art” conversations to be silly, because I believe there is good art and bad art, but it is all art, and it’s all totally subjective and not even worth discussing.
